Foreword
The time will come when we can no longer look to a glorious
future. Then we shall derive a great deal of pleasure from memories
of the past. As the landscape. Dinky, reminds us of the lime when
Buena Vista was a mining town, so will our annual. Dinky, remind
us of our school days which have come to an end. In years to conn
may we look through these pages and find them a source of infinite
pleasure.

Senior Class History
1.\ 'nil', history of every graduating class events that mean noth-
ing lo outsiders, items of little or no importance, stand out prom-
inently to that class. And so, as we realize that our high school
days are nearly over, memories of the four years we have spent at
P. M. H. S. come back to us.
1928—This date brings memories of our first year in high school.
As a group of forty-two we entered as the “Rats” of '28. This year
was a happ\ one. We elected our first class officers, and became a
well organized class.
1929—We were Freshmen no longer; we were important Sopho-
mores. with the privilege of razzing the "Rats.” How high and
mighty we fell!
1930—We were “Jolly Juniors." but more serious in our studies.
We bad to work hard, but we combined with our labor a bit of fun.
We had our first experience before the footlights when we presented
the comedy. "Salt Water Taffy." Both the mid-winter party and the
moonlight picnic were gala affairs.
1931—We are Seniors! A group of thirty with a high scholastic
average. This, our last year of high school, has been a happy and
successful one.
We are fortunate to have several new members from Glasgow
and Mountain View.
We arc now working on our senior play. "Baby Steps Out." Plans
for social events are being made. There will probably be a picnic, a
hike, and a big spring party. And of course—Commencement!
As the memories of these four joyful years come to us. we think
of Mrs. Glass, who has been our home room teacher and interested
guide for the past three years. How could we have done without her.'
High school for us is almost over, but we shall always remember
with pleasure our four years at Parry McCluer High School.

Senior Class Prophecy
ONI-, night while I was sitting before my bright lire place, Lady Prophecy
knelt beside me. She directed me to look into the Hames that were
leaping and dancing in the fireplace. She promised to give me a vision
of all my old classmates of P. M. II. S.
As 1 gazed into the tire the face of Tate Decker appeared before me. A
little voice whispered into my ear that he was the manager of The Times and
the World News in Roanoke.
Next 1 saw Barbara McNeil. She. I learned, was a teacher of business
English in National Business College. I can see her yet as she approached me
with her sweet, schooklay smile.
Hardly had she vanished before 1 saw five other friends. My good Lady
Prophecy told me that Julia Knight, Earl Leech, Anna Catlett, and "Jimmie"
McCormick, accompanied by Hazel Crist, were singing over the radio.
Then the smiling faces of Hite, Henson, and Henkle came before me. They
were joint owners of a fashion shop.
My vision seemed to waver a moment—but only a moment, for then I saw
the happy face of Tom Janney. To my astonishment I learned that be was
married and living in Cuba.
1 had hardly recovered my poise after this information until I saw Benson
Lowe. He was owner of an extensive farm.
Then 1 saw four pretty farmerettes—“Bebe” Moore, “Jo" LaKue. Mary
Frances Whitesell, and Pauline Jones. They were drinking lemonade and chat-
ting on “Bebe’s” front porch.
The next moment 1 saw Loyd Watts in a chauffeur’s uniform. My friend
Prophecy whispered that he was driving for Henry Ford.
When 1 saw “Puddin" Eggleston, I was sure he would be playing football.
But no. he owned a large plantation in Georgia.
Whom should I see next but “Dot” Grow’! Again the good Lady offered
some information and told me that Dorothy was teaching in a kindergarten in
Atlanta.
My vision would have been spoiled if Doris Eubank and Carmen Patterson
had not been together. There they were before my eyes. Little Dan Cupid
climbed upon my knee and whispered that both were married and lived in twin
bungalows.
Then 1 saw a group of familiar faces—“Bob" Anthony, Howard Price,
Connie Breeden, Gladys Nuckols. and Ellen Fix. They were all famous athletes.
“Bob" and Price were noted football players, while the girls were rival tennis stars.
Next, to my amazement, 1 saw “Eff” Embree wearing an aviator’s helmet.
He was a noted pilot.
As my vision continued. I saw Anne Lee Graves and Katherine Bates in
ballet costumes. Both were wonderful actresses.
As the flames in my fireplace grew dimmer. Marguerite Davis came before
me. She had become a model for Patou, a Parisian designer.
Lady Prophecy was good to me! But in a moment she vanished, the Hames
died away, and I was left alone—the same old prosaic person, living in the same
old prosaic way.
—Ruby Scott.

Junior Class History
i
September tenth, nineteen and thirty-one.
The Jolly Juniors’ work was then begun.
Our home room teacher, Miss Meador, so
kind.
In company with her class came up the line.
2
We spent the first lew days of our career
In forming classes, and choosing with care
Schedules of studies to carry us through.
Hoping that none would prove our “Water-
loo.”
3
To eight new Juniors we gave a glad hand.
Thirty-eight strong we bravely made our
stand.
We lost one soon—how it grieves us to
say,
That sweet “Snooky" Taylor has moved
away!
4
The Junior Class was well represented
In basketball; and we were contented,
For hard fought games we won more than
a few.
And some of our boys played brave foot-
ball too.
5
In October the first reports came out.
Our grades in history filled us with doubt;
But Miss Mann simply saved our self
respect
By saying. “You haven’t the method yet."
6
November found us quite busy and gay
As we chose the cast for the Junior play.
To our history club credit is due
For aiding the class by weekly review.
7
December's holiday preparation
Could not be crushed by the composition
Assigned to our class, to have right on
hand,
For credit upon our mid-term "exam.”
8
A wailing went up from the Juniors bold,
Over nine book reports, verbally told;
But our -pirits were raised the eighteenth
day
By the great success of the Junior play.
9
Christmas! We parted jolly and merry.
With no assignments to cause a worry
Happy New Year! Then we started to
cram,
To be ready for the mid-term “exam "
10
But all during those busy days we planned,
And put on a splendid chapel program,
Hon’ring one great in the South, you’ll
agree.
When you know that one was Robert I
Lee.
II
Our January “exams.” soon were done.
“And now we’ll get to work,” resolved each
one.
“We must pass them again the last of May,
If we hope to walk in the Senior way.
12
The time soon came for the class to decide
As to the ring that would give us most
pride.
Then Mr. Kling wisely helped us 'elect
A handsome ring with a beautiful set.
13
February brought its composition
On Washington, Father of the Nation.
In the Washington Bi-centcnnial play
We, the Jolly Juniors, carried the day.
14
A-hah ! The stormy March arrived at last,
And our jolly good times were passing fast.
The loss of two Juniors made us feel blue
Dear Lucille Edwards, and Billy' Seay, too.
15
For one event we all grew quite hearty;
Gayly we flocked to the Junior party.
’Neath April's bright sky, on the campus
green.
We cheered for our boys on the baseball
team.
16
May brings the dates of our final “exams."
Once more every student studies and crams.
We’re determined to pass, so we can be
Full, dignified Seniors in thirty-three.
17 •
'Tis the last day of school! We smile; we
sigh;
Our jolly hearts ache as we say, “Good-
bye.”
We have all been good sports the whole
year through,
And we thank our teachers that they have
too.
—Josephine Anne Jones.

Resume of Girls Basketball, 1931
ON FRIDAY, December 4th, the Girls’ Basketball Team of
Parry McCluer High School closed its 1931 season by defeat-
ing Covington I ligh School by a score of 13 to 11. The game,
a hard fought one from start to finish, was played at Covington. The
line-up for Parry McCluer was as follows: Winnie Rogers and Lucille
Edwards, forwards; Hilda Henson and Ruth Henkle, guards, with
Mildred Ridings substituting for Henkle; Myrtle Worley and Frances
Ridings, center.
Because the basketball season has been an unusually succesful one
for Parry McCluer High, it is interesting to review the 1931 schedule
and results.
Parry McCluer High opened her basketball season when she met
Glasgow on the local court. The score, which was in favor of Glas-
gow, was 7 to 6.
The second game with Glasgow was played on the Glasgow court.
The score was 14 to 7, in favor of Parry McCluer.
In a game with a town team from Glasgow. Parry McCluer won
by a score of 20 to 5.
The next two games were with Big Island. Big Island defeated
Perry McCluer by a score of 14 to 12 at Big Island. The score of the
second game, which was at Buena Vista, was 14 to 10 in favor of Big
Island.
On December 2nd, Parry McCluer won a brilliant victory over
Lexington High School when she defeated her old rival by a score of
25 to 14.
Then .as a crowning glory for a hard working, patient team, came
the Covington game when Parry McCluer took the honors, and, in a
spectacular fashion, ended her 1931 basketball season.
1'he final score for Parry McCluer is: live games won, and three
games lost.
Miss Bessie Meador, coach of the 1931 girls’ basketball team, de-
serves great praise for the team's success.
