Editorial
NDI\ I DUALS of a static society do not dream. It is hard
then for them to paint a mind picture of the future and realize
that the plans by which they dream are the ones to build by.
W hen a man is lost on the desert he sees countless mirages,
beautiful oases with cool, clear water and blooming flowers.
Who is it then, who is wise enough to continue his way tired and
thirsty and not follow this phantom vision of a desert travel-
ler's heaven / It is he who is old in the ways of the desert. Then none but an experienced dreamer can determine whether or not his dreams are worthy of being
pursued.
The people of Charles City are of a dynamic society. They dream, perhaps
some dreams are worthless and are cast aside into the waste basket of worth-
lessness. However, all dreams were not worthless and out of them have come
this of which we all should be proud. Out of the vast labyrinth of dreams of
many persons, some good and some bad, this one was picked as one to sit on high
as a point to be gained and a goal to work for. What was it? It was the plan
for a consolidated High School in Charles City County.
Ever with this point in view and with a song in their hearts for the future,
the Charles Citians have gone forward and have achieved their purpose.
It is true it was hard work to labor in an uncertainty with only the vague
outline of a dream to guide the footsteps of the laborers, but the dream was a
worthy one and we are thankful that the dreamers did not falter but kept striving
upward until the actual sight of the dreamers fancy has developed from mist
into a certainty.
We have now a consolidated High School at Charles City. Has it been
worthy of the battleground on which the life blood of the past has been shed?
Time alone can prove this but even now, we have come to the realization
that there is a warm spot in our hearts for the place where stands the monument
of the dead of the past, and where the corner stone of the future has just been
laid.
There is no limit to the heights to which our school may rise. She may but
must not fall. Let us each take it on ourselves as an individual duty to be
always ready to put our shoulder to the wheel to keep her always going upward
until she may reach the place where she will stand immortally a monument to
the dreamers who make up our dynamic society.
The question may have already been formed in your mind “What’s the use”?
The use is this: We must keep striving onward, never pausing in our ascent,
doing our work well, that after it is done we may repose peacefully saying “I
have fought a good fight.”
We must fight on to the zenith that our ancestors in their eternal resting-
place may gaze down upon us and say, "My children, I am proud of you.”

Motto : What is 1 ife, if not fun
Who would believe that little Fannye is a
Senior? She is though, and worthy of her
name. Fannye is always willing and ever

capable ot keeping a good home. Just look
at the many A's she makes in Home Econom-
ics. And when it comes to learning history
she is hard to beat. With her wonderful
personality and many talents, we can feel
sure that her tuture will be a great success.

Linda, that name means so much to those
who know her. It means a girl who is sin-

is a real friend. What more could be said?
These qualities combined with her ready wit,
have won for her a place in the heart of every-
one at Charles City High School, teachers

friends, and his pleasing personality ever
makes him more.

Senior Class Poem
Regret, yes, too deep to measure
Heart aches, too acute to be told
In leaving the home of our pleasure
’Tis only a task for the bold.
In carrying on to the zenith,
Our life’s work ’tis hard, and yet
The bitterness comes in the parting
From the friends and loved ones we've met.
III.
Those who have labored beside us,
And shared our joys and our woes,
W e are leaving you now, dear loved ones,
Our life has come to a close.
IV.
We will all meet again, dear Seniors,
Perchance in the road we shall rove
’Twill then be a happy reunion,
What else could it be with our love?
V.
And when through some distant moonbeam
A glance comes loving and fair
We shall be blest in the knowledge
That Alma Mater’s spirit is there.
Nelson Wilkinson,
Class Poet.

History of Senior Class
E have a consolidated school which has been running only two
years and it would be hard for me to trace back my classmates’
careers in other schools, but nevertheless, I’ve taken time to
find from where they came and am glad to say that it is from
Claremont High School that our president, Nelson Wilkinson,
comes. Also, from Claremont comes Linda Wilkinson, our
Valedictorian. From Blair junior High School Hilda Potts
comes to us. From Varina High School comes Fanney Barnett. From Cass
High School, Cass, W est Virginia, comes Fred Bock. From Stonewall Jackson
High School comes Mary Leigh Hubbard and from Holdcroft High School comes
two sisters, Willie and Agnes Nelson.
I will not attempt to give any of their history in these schools though I feel
sure each of them have a great one. In September, 1924, I came to Charles City
High School. I had quite a ride over what I considered a rough road and many
bumps did I receive. On reaching here at nine o’clock I knew no one but Willie
and was proud that 1 was a Junior for I thought they were scarce but when the
roll was called, I for the first time, met my classmates. And not for once have
I been sorry. We worked hard and earnestly throughout the year for our
teachers, Mr. Cox, Mrs. Hinson and Miss Barbee, whom we thought were en-
tirely too hard on us and often we looked up to the six Seniors when we became
discouraged and wondered if at any time we would ever be as big as they. Though
through all discouragements, we stuck to it and the result was that in September,
1925, all eight of us matriculated as Seniors. W e had at last gotten as big as
those six Seniors of the preceding year.
We met, glad to see one another again, and this time did not have to become
acquainted for we knew and loved one another as classmates. We started out
happy on our year’s work, thinking that we had reached the end of the pole and
things would lie easy for us, but oh, to our great surprise some of our reports
contained those horrible F’s and F’s. W e all felt like screaming that all of us
were now Seniors and those old F's and F’s were going to keep us from graduating
together. Then we got down to work and in a few months our reports contained
no more F’s and F’s, much to our happiness. But our teachers, whom we all
love, seem to think that their class is the only one we have. As we entered Miss
Thomson’s classroom we heard these words, “You must put more time on my
classes.” Something similar, though different, we would hear in Miss Beazley s
room which was "You must work harder or this will be a large class next year.
As Miss Meador’s familiar quotation is “Study harder or fail ’, while Mr. Cox
Charles Citian, 1920
21
asks “tor only three hours of preparation on his classes” though we have lived
through all and we are now proud graduates of Charles City High School.
I have almost forgotten in my eagerness to tell you of our academic work,
our social work. No class can boast of a better social record than us. In all
social events whether in the Literary Society, on the Athletic field, in the dance
hall or in Vespers, we have at all times been present.
Now take each individually — Nelson Wilkinson, our president, as yo.u will
see from the list ot honors beside his Senior picture, has an enviable record and
his sister, Linda Wilkinson, who has straight A’s for her four years of high school
work is a rank seldom obtained by the high school pupils of Virginia. Hilda
Potts, who has taken great interest in the Literary work in our school and de-
serves great credit, tor having helped to improve our library conditions and other
social events of the school. Mary Leigh Hubbard has been very helpful in
raising funds for all events of our school. Agnes Nelson, who through her
willingness to help and desire to improve our school, has been a pupil that any
school would be proud of. Fannye Barnett who has spent most of her time
studying Caesar, but has nevertheless been too busy to help with our social
activities, bred Bock, our financial worker, can handle more money without
losing a cent than J. Pierpont Morgan, and Willie Nelson, who is our athletic
star, has walked off with all the prizes offered in her high school career.
Now, it makes me almost weep to think that this is the last of my high school
life, but it has to come and though we separate, we will always be friends. May
we all be as successful Alumni as we have Seniors and work forward always to
something higher.
Agnes Nelson.

Senior Class Prophecy
ROUGH the haze of the future years I see many objects that
are strange indeed and far from what we see today. The peo-
ple dress in a way most peculiar to the human eye of today.
The system of transportation in the cities is so changed and
modified that I think few of us would recognize ourselves, but
I have the sight now that few ever have and it permits me to see
the class of 1926 in the world as it will be eight years from now.
There in a quiet home not far from a large city in the great United States,
1 see Nelson Wilkinson as he reads his books on law and smokes in peace. On
the desk by him are some of the many poems he has composed while meditating,
which contain thoughts as they really exist.
He has around him in his study, the pictures ol things he likes, the wild
woods, wild animals and nature studies; his gun hangs on the wall and by it his
spurs, horn and hunting knite.
Here he is content but occasionally he goes to the city to inspect the book
stores and sporting goods windows.
Next I see Mary Leigh Hubbard in a country consolidated school, trying to
teach the poor little foreigner what the over-bright American has all catalogued
in his mind. 'Die alien is striving to learn but the spectacle presented is very
funny to those that know the teacher. She is very short and as plump as cupid’s
followers, which makes the scene more laughable because Mary seems to realize
that the whole affair is very funny. Never mind that teacher will teach the boy
.ill that he should know.
In a nice home in a small village I see the ever smiling face of Agnes Nelson.
She lives in peace in her home here with lots of friends and things of nature that
help to make a place feel like home.
Cbe Charles Citian, 1920
23
Here also lives Fannye Barnett, a leader in society of the neighborhood.
She is happy and can still see something to giggle and laugh about when nothing
is in sight .
In one of our normal schools in a northern State we see the dean of women
Linda Wilkinson, as instructor in mathematics, she has made her dream a reality,
that is, to be a successful mathematic instructor.
Far out on a dusty road I see Hilda Potts, dressed in her best wedding suit,
walking along a dusty road complaining about hubby’s new car. The car is
broken down about a mile from a garage and Hilda is going to the garage for a
mechanic, as her farmer husband can’t repair the Hat tire.
In the northern part of Virginia, I see Willie Nelson training the girls in
physical education in one of our big schools. She is getting ready for May-day
exercises.
In a small town in Pennsylvania, I see a familiar face that to me seems to be
Fred Bock. He is dressed as freshman or a rat. He is walking the streets as he
is too dignified to walk the side-walk.

Senior Class Song
Sung to the tune of “ Oh How I Miss You Tonight."
I.
The years have been long, since entering the throng
And now we are free to leave
Its hard to leave you, but we will be true
And lots of time for you we'll grieve.
II.
Altho we will leave, our hearts will ever cleave
To the fond days spent with you.
Afar we may stray, love will always stay
Right back with those who are so true.
III.
To you, Juniors dear, we leave the road clear
That you may climb high and far,
You must hold so dear to that goal so near
So that naught can throw you ajar.
Chorus
Oh, yes, we’ll miss you, dear school, miss you when we re gone
Then we will come back dear school, Alma Mater, so strong.
We may be gone for a while, traveling o’er many a mile
But our thoughts won’t stop lingering, and we won’t stop thinking
Of the days spent at this dear old school.
Che Charles Citian, 1926
To Alma Mater
Sleep, sleep on, dear mother,
Rest fair in thy repose,
Thou hast earned a long vacation,
From thy toil, work and woes.
You will guide so many footsteps
O’er the dim pathway of life,
You will strengthen many heartbeats
In the never ending strife.
Can we tell how much our love is:'
Can we prove on bended knee
How strong is our devotion,
Dear Mother, to thee?
Nelson Wilkinson.

Junior Class History
E again make our appearance, not as noisy boisterous Freshmen
or Sophomores, but as grave and dignified Juniors. In at-
tempting to write the history of the class of 1927, we feel our-
selves unworthy of such a task, for no history however good it
may be, will picture the hopes, the ideals, the defeats and the
victories of a class, but we will attempt to give a brief account
of what we have done and are now doing in school life.
Nearly three years ago, there appeared at the Charles City High School,
a crowd of boys and girls from all parts of the County who neither knew each
other nor themselves. During the three years that have passed we have learned
to work together and to help those about us and in this our Junior year, we have
come to know each other better and have formed friendships that will last
through life.
We claim among our members the handsomest, ugliest, wittiest, silliest and
laziest boys and girls in school.
In every phase of athletics we are well represented, Walker Haynes being
the captain of both the baseball and basketball teams. Our class is represented
in basketball by Walker Haynes, Ben. Haynes, Charlie Yates, Bernard Crew
and Nimmo Hubbard, Jr., and in baseball by Walker Haynes, Ben. Haynes,
Ben. Major, Elmo Orange and Nimmo Hubbard, Jr. On the girls basketball
team we are represented by Gladys Avery, Lucille Binns, Carrie Yates and
Elizabeth Hughes, Gladys Avery being the outstanding player of the team.
In every phase of school activities you will find us well represented and we
could say much more concerning each member of our class but feel it altogether
unnecessary as the students and the teachers know that we have endeavored to
do our work in an honest and conscientious manner.
All of us may not become famous, but as there can only be a limited number
of famous men and women, there is little hope for anyone not in the Junior Class
of 1925-1926.

Sophomore Class History
D Father Time and Fate seemed to join hands in trying to help
the poor “Rats” of 1925 escape the horror of entering the
Sophomore Class. For the Sophs delight in telling freshmen
that Act II of High School is the hardest of all.
People ask, “Have the Sophs a History?” Of course we
have a history and if we are not thought to be telling the truth,
get the record kept by Mr. Cox and look for the “Rats” of '25
and Sophs of '26. We are indeed proud of our record for it has brought us
through “Rats” and “Sophs” to Juniors. W have made a record of which we
are proud by hard work and aid of our teachers.
Mr. Cox has served us as both “Rats” and “Sophs.” Miss Barbee and Mrs.
Hinson, who did so much for us as “Rats” finding it impossible to come back
with us this year, '26, Misses Thomson, Beazley, and Meador consented to come
and help us fight our Act II of High School and send us with flying colors into
Act III, which we will strive through next year.
Miss Thomson, our English teacher, says she thinks her class of sophs would
know how to parse a noun if asked a hundred years from now. Miss Beazley,
feels proud we are sure of her Plane Geometry Class; for one day she asked her
pupils how many sides there were to a triangle and one answered “Four."
Having ended our Act II and ready to enter Act III we never think of the
future but only of the past two years in which we have had our trials and tribulations, pleasures and success, study and play, laughter and tears.
After the summer vacation may we all return to play a part in Act III —
Juniors.
To these Dear Sophs who do their best
We’ll give a page with all the rest.
Just find the grades, and watch the names
And see the A’s, as they do climb,
Along the heights that are sublime.
Ruth Walker, '28.

History
N the fall of 1925, the enrollment of the High School was in-
creased by an addition of twenty-seven new members which
made up the Freshman Class.
It did not take us long to realize that our real school life had
begun. \Ye were introduced to Algebra by Miss Beazley, to
French by Mr. Cox and to Science and English by Miss
Meador.
A short time after school had begun we had the bad luck to lose two of our
members, Elmer Peterson and Martha Haupt. But in spite of this we rallied
our forces for the County Fair. We were Freshmen but not considered to
amount to much, however we were determined to make people sit up and take
notice. W ell, we did. We were given first prize much to our surprise for we
had not aspired so high. That added $5.00 to our treasury.
We were kept busy with our lessons until Christmas and had very little time
to give to other matters. At Christmas time “It is more blessed to give than to
receive,” so taking this motto to heart we made up four stockings for the King’s
Daughters to distribute among the poor families of the county. At the Christ-
mas entertainment held here in the auditorium we dressed our tallest boy, Gav-
lon Layfield, as Santa Claus to give the gifts from the Christmas tree to the
members ol our class. After which we wished each other “Merry Christmas”
and went home for the holidays.
We sold candy in the month of February and that put more money in our
treasury, the amount of which was seventeen dollars. The sun had been casting
its rays down upon us without mercy the fall before. We decided not to put
up with it any more, so we bought shades for our four windows, the cost of which
was $21.00.
W e were only Freshmen, but not too insignificant for one of our members
Roy Davis, to play on the boys basketball team. Now that spring has arrived
we see Roy Davis, Sam Haynes, and Gaylon Layfield on the baseball team. The
Freshmen girls, not to be outdone, furnished three of the best first team basket-
ball members, Sarah Thomas, Mildred Haynes and Lena Parsons. More honors
for the Freshmen!
The remainder of the year passed quickly and before we realized it commence-
ment was at hand.
In three more months we will no longer have our dignity trampled upon.
We are now aspiring to the honor ol being Sophomores, though we can’t say we
minded being Rats, with a capital R.

Tyler Literary Society
AT do we mean by a Literary Society? A Literary Society is
a group or organization of individuals having common inter-
est in literature and men of letters.
The general aim of every Literary Society is to increase the
pupils’ skill in reading and memorizing, to improve their judg-
ment and taste in good reading, to emphasize school leader-
ship, to give special training in argument and debate in public
speaking as a means to more effective service in the community, to promote
effective thinking and discussion about social and civic problems.
The Tyler Literary Society took this term, as their chief object, the promotion
oi leadership.
One of the major reasons for pessimism in American life today is the sup-
posed lack of leaders for present and future needs.
\\ e are not short of leaders in business enterprises, commercial or industrial
efforts. I hese have their quota of ambitions and determined youth.
What the country needs is the unifying process of a simple restatement of
what is worth while in life.
The values and standards of conduct in the family, in communities, in the
State, these must be borne aloft.
Human character and conduct — these are supreme as ever. When the
questions are asked, who are the men of mark? W ho are the coming leaders?
It means that people want men at the front, at the top, who stand for, and who
express these values and ideals.
It is a part of our national genius that greatness and leadership should surge
up from all the people.
How can our future citizens be good leaders? We have answered this
question by developing leadership in the members of our Literary Society.
Our Society promotes leadership by having two elections during the year.
I his gives many members the opportunity of becoming capable officers and good
leaders.
Every member is given the opportunity to serve on the programs rendered.
This causes timidity to cease, enables the person to express himself more per-
fectly, and finally leads to leadership.
With this aim in view many interesting and helpful programs have been
rendered this year by our Literary Society. This organization has maintained
a high standard of excellence and many good results have been shown through
the school’s activities.

Her Calling
ELL, Uncle Tom, you certainly brought us through safe this
time. You did excellent, for an old man like you. I guess I
will have to “throw in” a few extra dollars for this.
“Now, Doc, dat aint nothin’ for dis ole nigger. I'se been
over dis trail so many times I’se knows it by heart. Why,
Doc, I’se could go ober dis trail in my sleep. Talk about
givin’ me some extra money, I don’t want no mo money.
Yuh brought me along to show yuh the way, didn’t yuh?”
“There is not any use getting angry about it Uncle Tom,” spoke up James
Harraway who was Doc’s brother, “Doc only meant to congratulate you for
bringing us through the snow' storm so wrell.”
“Well, why didn’t he say so in the fus’ place then,” said Uncle Tom, “instead
of talkin’ about “throwing in” some extra money. Of course Use knows I did
mighty well. I reckon there was many a pusson what got lost.”
All of this conversation was carried on between young Doctor Harraway,
James Harraway, and Uncle Tom, an old servant of the family who was serving
as guide.
Doctor Harraway had graduated from the Chicago Medical College in June.
Being a great adventurer he thought it would be great sport to spend the winter
after graduating in hiking through the mountains, exploring the country and in
the meanwhile looking up several old mountain traditions.
He thought that it would be a wonderful experience for his eighteen year
old brother, James Harraway, who was also a great out-of-door sport. After
consulting his brother and Uncle Tom, who knew all of the trails in the moun-
tains, they decided to leave soon after Thanksgiving Day. As l hide Tom said,
“Law, Doc, you don’t want to leave ’fore that day cause vouse got to have one
feast fore you leabes.”
So, on the second day of December, Doctor Harraw'ay, James Harraw'ay,
and Uncle Tom started on their much planned journey through the Cumberlands.
At first it seemed great sport with such a wonderful guide as l hide Tom.
They had no trouble at all until in January when they began to encounter snow'
storms. These did not bother Uncle Tom at first but after the severe storms
began to come he was not quite so sure about his trails. It was after the worst
storm of the season where l hide Tom had been doubtful but happened to strike
the right trail, that we find the party of three conversing around their camp fire
for the night.
“I suppose we should all be thankful,” said Doc, “and turn in early so we
will be ready to start in the morning.”
Oc Charles Citian, 1920
47
There was no reply but it did not take long for everything to become silent.
There was no sound except that of the ice burdened trees.
The wanderers did not awake until late the next morning. Uncle Tom
prepared a hasty breakfast and they soon departed on their journey.
Alter traveling a few miles James sighted a horse a short distance away.
“Someone must have gotten lost in the storm last night,” said James.
"I spect we gwine find lots of stray bosses along de road, Marse James,” spoke
up l ncle Tom.
After getting nearer to the horse they could see that it was tied to a buggy.
Uncle Tom very gently placed his hand on the horse but the horse being of
rather a wild nature began to kick. “Whoa, dar now, don’t yuh try to git too
smart.” At this the horse calmed down and Uncle Tom untied him.
In the meanwhile Doc and James wrere examining the contents of the buggy.
Alter removing several smaller articles and three buggy robes they found a small
girl about three years old asleep. They were all very astonished but thought
that her parents must be near.
Alter searching for a while they came upon the dead bodies of a man and
woman. Deciding that these were the child’s parents, they stopped searching
and prepared to bury the people.
Doctor Harraway made a thorough examination and came to the conclusion
that they had frozen to death. He searched the bodies lor identification but
found none.
After burying the bodies, they again searched the buggy but found only an
iron box which they could not open. “I suppose we had better take this box
along though,” thought James, and so tucked it under his arm.
"Bein as we aint planned to take along a extra pusson and a horse, 1 spect
we better leave the hoss at de next place. Dont you, Marse James?”
"It wouldn’t be a bad idea, Uncle Tom,” answered James.
I pon arriving at the next farmhouse they explained matters and left the
horse.
“It sho am a good thing we is goin home case we don’t know what to do
with no gal. What you gwine do with her anyway, Doc? What you gwine
name her?”
”1 am going to take her home with me, Uncle Tom, and I was thinking of
leaving the name to my mother and sisters.”
"Naw suh, we ought to name her. We dun found her and we ought to do
de naming.”
“Maybe you are right, Uncle Tom, what name would you suggest?”
'Now Doc, you know I can’t name nobudy. You and Marse James go long
and name de purty little gal.”
Well, I think Virginia would be a good name. You know Virginia always
did appeal to me. Somehow her face is so attractive and sunny that it reminds
48
€\)t Charles Citian, 1926
me of sunny Virginia. Maybe you have a more appropriate name for her,
Doc,” said James?
“No," answered Doc, "I think Virginia is very appropriate for the first
name. We found her in the Cumberlands so I think we should name her Vir-
ginia Cumberland Harraway. How does that sound?”
“Fine,” said James, ‘‘and may she keep this name until she is identified or
wishes to change it.”
They soon stopped for lunch and Uncle Tom said it was an awful problem
to cook for Miss Virginia after Doc showed him how to fix some milk but he
guessed he would soon learn how.
Their homeward journey lasted three weeks and Virginia was usually the
topic of conversation. Upon arriving at home Doctor Harraway delivered Vir-
ginia into his mother's care, feeling that a great responsibility was over. His
mother was delighted to have Virginia because her daughters were away most
of the time.
Virginia soon learned to love these delightful people and their beautiful
Kentucky home.
After being there only a short while she learned to run around the corner to
Doctor Harraway’s office and entertain his patients for hours with her attractive
ways and talk.
Very often Mrs. Harraway would find her looking at the mountains and
talking to herself. Sometimes she would say “My mountains.”
She soon became old enough to enter grammar school and from there she
went to the best high school in Kentucky.
In the meantime James Harraway had given her a horse and taught her to
i it. She enjoyed riding in the Blue Grass regions very much.
Upon graduating from high school Virginia decided she would like to teach,
so Dr. Harraway sent her to Columbia University. He wanted her to see the
country and at the same time get an education.
All during this time the Harraway’s had been searching every available
place for Virginia’s identification. Finally one day James remembered the old
iron box they had found in the buggy. After working on it for a long while he
finally opened it. The box contained several old photographs, cards, letters,
and some papers. Under one picture was written John McDowell, under an-
other Martha McDowell, and under a tiny picture of a baby was written Virginia
McDowell.
The Harraway’s decided that these were Virginia’s parents and herself, and
what a strange coincidence that they should have given the baby her real name.
Of course, they had told Virginia long ago about the way they had found
her. They decided not to tell her about the contents of the iron box until she
had finished school.
After getting her Masters Degree, Virginia came home very much enthused
Or Charles Cirian, 1926
49
over the idea of going to the mountains to teach. The Harraway’s thought that
if she wanted to go to the mountains to teach she should do it.
Several mornings before Virginia was to leave to start in her teaching career,
Doctor Harraway told her to come around to his office.
W hen she went to his office he showed her the contents of the iron box and
told her all he knew concerning her mystery. Virginia told him that she be-
lieved these pictures would prove valuable to her in the mountains. “Maybe
I will find some of my relatives but if I do not, I can possibly use these in proving
to them that I am one of them.”
So Virginia left her Kentucky home and friends but only in reality, not in
memory.
Upon arriving in the mountains she was given a school with forty children
anywhere from the ages of six to eighteen.
Right away she began to investigate to find a trace of her family. After
careful investigation, she found many relatives. She learned from them that
her mother and father had started to a more civilized country. They never
knew whether her parents were lost in the snow storm or not.
This identification helped Virginia to make many friends and the moun-
taineers began at once to adopt her ways. She influenced them to improve
their way of living by making it more sanitary. This girl was also the cause of
many feuds being dropped, therefore making a more peaceful body of people.
Besides working with her pupils individually, Virginia had a class of grown
people at night. She taught these people many things besides reading and writ-
ing and was always ready to give good advice.
Although with this grand reunion of the mountain people, Virginia never
forgot her old Kentucky friends. She went to see them every year and whenever
she wrote to them her letters always bore the signature, Virginia Cumberland
Harraway.

The Juniors wish to speak a word
Of good will and of cheer
To the Seniors who are taking leave
Of C. C. H. this year.
They've been our comrades
And our playmates, bound by a friendship true,
And we shall keep within our hearts
Their memories, ever new.
Their work has been a great success.
We crown it with good will.
May they ever find good luck
And never meet with ill.
The lessons thev have learned so well
The praises which they have won
Will help them fight and ever shine
Through their school life.
Now as the Seniors take their leave,
May great success soon find them,
And our footprints be as clear
As those they leave behind them.

In spite of the difficulty of not having a gymnasium in which to practice, the
girls varsity team of 1925-26 started out with determination to win.
At each game they were admired by the audience for their team work and
fighting spirit. The one game lost did not dampen their spirit, but a better one
was in store for the next.
In the interest of the athletics in the high school, and also in the county, it
is hoped by both girls and boys that the School Board will see fit to furnish them
with a gymnasium befitting of the new High School in which the muscles of the
students may be trained as well as the minds.

ARTING out in season under adverse conditions, handicapped
by not having an indoor court and with so few candidates to
pick from, we can boast of this seasons' basket ball team. Al-
though we won but one game we have a team that any school
would be proud of. It takes grit, courage, and sportsmanship
to play when we are continually beat but we were a team that
never turned back in the face of defeat but fought harder.
In all our games we won the reputation of being clean, fair, and were never
beaten until the last whistle blew. Many times has come to us, “They are the
hardest fighting team in the face of defeat I have ever seen.” May our future
Charles City High teams continue to have such spirit and she will win.
In our two games with Toano High, who is much larger than we are, we
fought them hard and to a close score. Varina High School, our nearest neigh-
bor, had more experience and had a rather easy time of it. The greatest of all
to us was when we defeated Morrison High at Newport News and to complete
our schedule we played Highland Springs two games, but owing to wet courts
we did not practice one hour for these games.

HE base ball team of 1926 has good prospects. Although some
letter men failed to show up we received what looks to be some
good material from Holdcroft Graded chool. Starting the
season with Jesse Henneman behind the bat, Nim Hubbard
at the initial sack, Ben Major at second, Midget Haynes at
short and Ben Haynes at third, we will have an infield that
has no holes in it and every thing that attempts passage
through it, will be calmly stopped. With such performers as Nelson Wilkinson,
Leonard Fowler, Gaylon Layfield, Fred Bock, Elmo Orange, Bernard Crew and
Roy Davis in the outer gardens it makes it safe as a tar bucket.
Our pitching staff can be relied on, once we get started. Walker Haynes
will bear the brunt of the pitching but when needed he can bring to his rescue
such persons as Nelson Wilkinson, Ben Haynes, and Jessie Henneman.
We have not had a game at the time this goes to the press but at the end of
1926 season you can feel assured that C harles City is going to have taken the
scalps of some of the larger high schools of Eastern Virginia. The schedule ar-
ranged to date is:
Carina here April 16.
Highland Springs at Carina April 19 (accepted).
Toano here April 25 (requested).
Toano there May 10 (accepted).

History of Charles City High School 4-H Cluh
HE Club motto is “To Make the Best Better.” The Club
pledge “As a true club member, I pledge my head to clever
thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger
service, and my health to better living for my club, my com-
munity and my country.”
Charles City High School’s 4-H Club was organized in 1923
with about twelve members. The leading projects were poul-
try, corn and hogs with the majority of members taking poultry club work.
Since then the club has steadily grown until at the present time it has an enroll-
ment of thirty-one members. Two new projects have also been added— toma-
toes and garden club.
The Charles City High School 4-H Club occupies the same place with the
boys and girls of Charles City County that the Boy Scout and Girl Scout organ-
izations do with the boys and girls of the city. The Club project is worked out
on a four year basis with honors and medals for the club members to show how
many years work he has completed.
One of the interesting features of Club work is the short course that is held
at Williamsburg every year. This lasts a week and serves both as an outing for
the club members and as a school. Sixteen club members from Charles City
attended the short course last year, ('lasses were held every morning from
9:00 to 12:00. After dinner they played games and visited points of interest
around the city. One afternoon a trip was made to Jamestown where every-
body who wanted to went in swimming. In the evening after supper vespers
were held and games were played on the lawn. Lucille Binns took special delight
in playing “Go in and out the window.” As soon as it was dark everybody went
to the gymnasium, where a program was put on, one night a basket ball game,
one night a singing school and other nights, stunts.
While the State Short Course at Blacksburg which is for the boys and girls
from all over the State is too far away tor Charles City members to attend, a year
ago the club was represented by William Barnett and Nimmo Hubbard who
made the trip there and back in a Ford car.
The Charles City County Fair and the State Fair gives the club members
an opportunity to exhibit their products and to win some prizes. \ ery liberal
prizes are offered in some branches of club work. 1 his year the club will have
corn, poultry, eggs, hogs, tomatoes, and vegetables to exhibit. Some pig club
members in the past have made enough in prizes to pay for their pigs and more,
as prizes are especially liberal in the department, both at Charles City and
Richmond.

To cook a bit, To sew a stitch,
To save the time, To make a dime,
To reach an end, To please the ?
C'olors: White and Orange

For this little H. E. Club we sing
A praise of Hope and Love to ring
From this, our school so dear to us.
Although we make a bit of fuss
Its fun to learn to Cook and Sew
To make the dress, to knead the dough,
For in this class, with all its work
We find it joy, without a shirk.

This may seem like an insignificant organization to anyone who does not
know. Upon learning of its wonderful work during the year anyone with the
former opinion would readily change his mind.
After being appointed by the principal, the three librarians got to work,
systematized the books, and made their rules.
While not having the best collection of books to work with, these librarians,
have arranged and distributed the books to the best of their ability.
They have established the fact through the whole school that a good book
is the best friend for anyone.
A friend in the form of a book will advise, correct, lead, and teach 11s how
to understand others. Many times this friend will solve our most difficult
problems.
The books of our library cover many interesting subjects, such as, science,
history, fiction, economics, letters, travels, and literary works.
These subjects have been presented to the students of the school in a very
interesting form. The librarians cooperate by keeping the library open tor the
students and bv enforcing the rules made by them.
This work has been appreciated by all and everyone has derived great
benefit from our library.

Nutrition Class
HIS nutrition work was begun in Charles City High School
through the invitation of the Parent-Teachers Association.
M iss Randolph, of the State Board ot Health, came to a
meeting of the Parent-Teachers Association, explained the
condition of the students of our school and urged that this
work be begun.
'I'he members of this organization immediately saw the
need of the nutrition work, so extended the invitation to Miss Randolph and
Miss Stone, the nurse who had previously visited our school.
Miss Stone had a physical inspection of the entire school and discovered
that 180 students (exclusive of Senior High) 50% were 7% or more underweight
in September 1925. Miss Stone was a very capable nurse and began her work
very earnestly.
The work was done by monthly weighing of each child and by keeping each
individual weightgraph. This proved a very interesting method to the child
as he could watch his own progress each month.
Physical examinations were given by Dr. Nance, I)r. Kane, and Dr. Davis
of this county. Also, Dr. Scott, a chest specialist of Richmond, came out and
had a chest examination of several students.
Many corrections, such as tonsillectomies, were the result of these examina-
tions.
At least once a week Miss Stone would give a health talk in Chapel, verv
often illustrating her talk with stories or posters.
At a meeting ot the Tyler Literary Society, Miss Stone rendered an excel-
lent health program.
One great item that helped this work was the daily serving of hot lunches
provided by the King’s Daughters ot this county. The result of this work was
very great indeed. In March 1926 of 16.? students only 22% were of 7% or
more underweight. Thirty-six students were brought out of underweight group
(7 % or more). Eight students received certificates showing gain to average
weight. ( )t the sixty-nine students weighed monthly the greatest gain was
fifteen pounds. The expected gain was one pound per month or five pounds
during the five months.
The result that we see now is not the greatest result though. These same
students will continue to keep the health rules and live healthy lives. In a few
years we will see strong, healthy, progressive citizens instead of tubercular
patients. Then we will see and realize the real result of the nutrition work in
our school.
As for Miss Stone we say that she was capable, sympathetic, kind, and
considerate. She made her work so interesting that everyone was glad and
willing to work tor or with her. W e hope that she may go where she will succeed
and be appreciated as she was at Charles City High School.
