Strong and protecting yon stand;
The strength and faith of youth are yours There are hope, and joy, and happiness in the band That works and plays around your doors.
There's hope that sees through the darkness «nd- light And joy that smiles through tears;
Happiness in friendship that will light
Our path through future years.
The friends we’ve known with in your walls Will be the tie that bind us to our home. Memories will linger 'round your halls
Though far from you we roam.

HISTORY OF THE POWHATAN HIGH SCHOOL
The Powhatan School began its career in the traditional log cabin. The pupils advanced further and further until they moved into what is now the P@what.an Community house. Powhatan High School did not become accredited until 1920.About the year 1921 the School Board began running the trucks for the school children. This made the enrollment so much larger that the small high school building could hardly accommodate the pupils.
Plans were made for a school which would be better and larger than any of the former schools in Powhatan County. The plans were carried out; the new Agricultural High'School was finish during the year 1923. This was beginnings of greater educational opportunities for the Children of Powhatan County.
A new Home Economics Department was being added when on Thursday morning, February 12,1931,at three o’clock, the school which had been erected at a cost of $38,000 was totally destroyed by fire. Immediately steps were taken to reopen the school in rented rooms in the village.
The School Board lost no time in gathering information as to the best type of building with which to replace the one burned. Many architects submitted plans which the board studied with care. Accordingly after several weeks of study of the plans submitted, the School Board decided to build a fire-proof building, using the plans submitted by Fred A. Bishop of Richmond. When the bids were advertised and opened, H.J. Moran proved sucessful bidder.
In a short time work on the new building began. This building
which houses the largest enrollment in the history of the school has been completed. There are two stories with a large corridor running the entire length of both floors. The completed building represents an outlay of a bout $40,000. There is an auditorium with a seating capacity of over four hundred in which is a large stage. The basement has spare space which
can be converted into class room or used as a play room. The School
Board was fortunate in the time they were called upon to build. There
has not been a time when the type of material used and when labor was much cheaper.
Plans are being made to landscape the grounds and make the surroundings attractive. The citizens of the county have taken this as their project and will provide the money for the shrubbery.
THE OLD POWHATAN HIGH SCHOOL Destroyed by fire February 12,1931
THE NEW POWHATAN HIGH SCHOOL Completed October 1932

POWHATAN HIGH SCHOOL
TO THE FACULTY
They are generally in a jolly mood,
And we would be very rude
If we did not help them keep their smiles As we climb the school day miles.
They always lend a helping hand
In the things we do not understand.
If you don't beleive it’s so,
Ask the studious, for they know.
If forward you do look
And learn each lesson from the book,
From experience you will find
They are often very kind.

THE SPIRIT OF YOUTH
The Spirit of youth is the spirit of hope.
Hope, that always looks for the best,
The spirit of youth that always gropes
For truth and for fun but never for rest.
The season of youth is the season of friends
With loyal hearts and with faces bright,
Seeking to serve no selfish ends
But helping each other with all their might.
The spirit of youth will always live
If your faith in friends be true,
If all your love and thoughts you'll give
Always to others— not to "you".
—Dorothy Faville
THE JOURNEY
Seniors, living spirit of youth,
life is .calling to you and me.
Tonight we begin our search for truth
A journey that may call us far to sea.
We’ve been happy at work and play;
Long have we called each other friend. We may not meet fbr many a day,
But we’ll be loyal until the end.
Seniors, no we’ll never forget
The happy days we’ve seen,
The day when first we met,
And what those days will always mean. —Mattie Cosby

+ SENIOR CLASS HISTORY +
June has come at last and we are forced to realize that, now after four years of faithful companionship, we must disband and take up our separate ways of life. But first let us go back and take a glimpse of our high school career. Our freshman year was one in which class rivalry and school spirit were at their highest point. Our freshman class was organized under the leader ship of Miss Morris.
There were no unusual events, the year being mingled with war and pleasures. Having served our appretiship as "rats" anxiously looked forward to the time when we would no longer be such.
In the fall of ’29 when we assembled for class organization we found, that our class enrollment had fallen to a lower number than that of preceding years but we decided that although our number was small, we should hold our own and fulfil our position as "Sophomores". Under the capable guidance of faculty adviser, Miss Freund, we worked together through the year. After having passed through two years of high school we reached 'our Junior year—happy medium between the "run—wild—go—reckless "Sophomore" and the "dignified" Senior. Our class numbering nineteen was organized under Miss Rawls and officers were elect e d .
At the beginning of this year the class of *32 assumed its final responsibility both individually and collectively. The realization of the responsibilities stimulated within us the desire not only to measure up to the standard of the class, but to make this year the most worthwhile.
Our class this year was well represented on the athletic field, part of the girls and part of the boys taking part in basketball.
This has been a glorious year, with good times and humorous happenings, but with all the good times we haven not forgotten our responsibilities. Ere we take the final step, retaining nothing but memories to remind us of the happiest years of our life, we hope that the year of 1931-32 will serve to weld stronger the bonds of unity, and strengthen us in our efforts to add one star to the crown of glory of our beloved Alma Mater.

AMERICAN ENDS WITH "I CAN"
Old age has done its part, alas;
We now must take the stand.
Let's not forget, dear Junior Class,
That American ends with "I can".
In P. A. H. S. we’ll learn friendship’s abode
And always be a friend to man.
And as we travel down life’s road,
We'll remember that American ends with "I can". —Cassie Hail
+ JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY +
la 1921 five of what is now the Junior Class of 1931-32 entered the first grade at Powhatan High School. These were Rena Simpson, Blanch Webb, Anne Timberlake, Lois Jenkins, and Mary
Ellen Wood. That year there was an enrollment of twenty-eight pupils. We stayed together very well on though the grades. Al though we lost a few members each year, there were new members
to fill the vacant seat which we welcomed heartily. Many of the girls and boys entered high school together. During the freshman year quite a few of out pupils dropped out of the ranks, but we hope they have learned a lesson by which the next generation may profit. In 193© the Sophomore class gain ed two more new members: Elise Heath and William Blandford. They have proved their interest in our class and school and have become an important part of our class. This year of 1930-31 we were unfortunate in loosing our high school.
Now, as Juniors we are striving to make the best better. We have four new members: Tyler Thomas Dorothy, Faville, Jamie Duke and Lucy Martin. Our class motto is: "Remember American ends with I can". The class colors are rose and silver. 'We shall gave a play to donate money for some auditorium seats to the high school.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY ,tUs
In September 1930,we started out as mere freshmen with an enrollment of twenty-seven pupils. Although the freshmen usual ly have a hard time getting accustomed to new teachers, new sub jects, and new schedule, we soon became acquainted with the ways of high school. As we grew in wisdom and knowledge, we lived up to our motto "green but growing".
The year 1932 finds us sophomores. Although we have lost several members of last years class, we now have thirty-one pupils on roll. We selected as our motto: "Mind not the breakers but straight ahead". During 'this year we gave a play, "Little Miss Jack" and used the proceeds to make the first payment on the new curtain for the auditorium.
The first Monday of each month was selected as class day on which should we wear our class colors, green and white.

If you would win the greatest good
And feel that you deserve it,
Then only make this simple rule
And never fail to observe it.
In little acts as well as great,
Be straight, be just, be true;
And never fail to speak the truth
Whatever else you do.
This is the key that opens wide,
The doors of peace and joy,
It will make a man both wise and good,
Of any little boy.
Then let us all with one accord.
Resolve to keep this: rule ,
And follow it with strictest care,
Abroad and here at school.

HISTORY OF THE FRESHSAN CLASS
There are only a few in the Freshman class who began school life here at P. A. H. S. together. Most of us are strangers coming from other schools in the county, though some of us have been here several years. The majority of class were together in the seventh grade and became well acquainted with each ether since they had gone through the trials and pleasures of this grade side by side.
Of course all of us were very much sadden by the burning of our school last February, but the work was completed in spite of the make shift arrangement for school buildings. The seventh grade was in the Courthouse where it was necessary to be very "orderly". On May 22 those of us who passed were given diplomas and were proud of the fact t hat we were ready for the freshman class.
This year I think all were glad to come back to see old friends, make new ones, and to study in our splendid new high school. We found it very confusing at first to have to go to different rooms and teachers for classes. Now that we are accustomed to the routine, we find the change a welcome break in the day's work. It is a pleasure to have several teachers instead of one, as we had last year. We hope to be one of the best classes in the history of the school. Our ambition is that we may
be to get her next year with out one freshman left by the wayside. We know not what the future holds for us, but with the excellent advantages and training we are receiving at Powhatan, who knows but what we may make our teachers,parents and friends proud of us in years
to come.

HISTORY OF THE SEVENTH GRADE
One bright morning seven years ago, September 9,1925 we came to school for the first time. When we entered the school we were carried to a large auditorium, where we stayed until we heard a bell ring. Then we went down the steps to get in line. When we reached our room we found our teacher to be Miss Gladys Hubbard.
In a few days we learned each others’ names, and had a good time playing at recess. We learned how to read and write and how to play many games. When our school closed in June, we were promoted to the second grade.
We did not see each other often during the summer so we were glad to come back to school. We had assembly in the auditorium once a week. We also had an Easter egg hunt which we all enjoyed. The last day we all went home happy because we were all promoted to the third grade.
We found the third grade much harder than the second. We had a Christmas play and Santa Claus brought each of us a present. In February we took our first examinations. Our teacher was Miss Alice Taylor.
Our fourth grade teacher was Miss Pauline Hancock . In a few weeks we learned to like history and geography which were very interesting. That year swings were erected on the grounds and we spent our recess in them.
The next year Miss Ethyl Whitlock taught us. We went to moving picture shows twice a month in the auditorium. We had our Christmas play and gave our teacher a birthday present.
Last year our teacher was Miss Lula Crowder. We had the misfortune of losing our school by fire Then we moved down to the old hotel and had classes. We went on several nature hunts with our teacher.
On October 6, we came into our new school with an enrollment of sixty-two which was divided into two equal section. This is the first year we had departmental work. Miss Cobb, Miss Gills and Mr. Fox are our teachers. We have enjoyed our days in the grammar grades, but are all hoping to be in high school next year.

- SEVENTH GRADE. PROPHECY -
As I gaze into my crystal globe, I see many of the school children who have become great men and women. Wait a second, I see something darting through the sky— it islanding. Mason Bland ford has been making a try-out flight in his airplane in which he expects to make a trans-Atlantic flight. Nearby is a great hospital where Novella Sledd is busy attending patients. Dr. Roland Maxey is also there and seems to be enjoying his work.
Hark! I hear a tune, it is getting closer. Now I can see a big orchestra, among the players are Tom Maiden, Watson Campbell and Bobbie Lester w ho have become musicians . My view is dim, but as the globe turns I see a large building. Somebody is busy writing, now I see two people: one is Ber nice Worsham who is a .stenographer for James Tilman Jr. He has become a great lawyer, and is working over a big case. In the same building on the fifth floor is the office of Fred Schroeder who has become a noted dentist.
Nov/ I see a bail diamond, a great game is in progress. Among the players are Joe Bishop, Hardaway White and Junior Tilman. My globe turns to a city in France. It is Paris, the city of styles, and Helen Grace and Mary Cutfight are designing patterns. I travel across the ocean and find that Robert Adkins is the captain and Russell Hague first mate on the liner. On shore I find a beautiul church, on turning my globe, I see Eugene Walton in the pulpit and Francis Tilman leading the singing.
Still farther I see a studio where Andrew Adkins is rehearsing for a show . My vision again is faint, but as the globe changes, I see a high school and Katherine Brauderick is teach ing Arithmetic and Mary Younce, Civis. Just a little way down the road is a bank where Wesley Forsee is banker. Now I see a garage on a country road where Henry Hatcher and Chester Hub bard are mechanics.
I am now coming’ into a city where a large building is being erected by Bernard Martin, a contractor. A street car now approaches and at a closer look I see Paul Harris is the operator. I also see Harry McConnell a salesman for an automobile concern.
I touch my crystal globe and I hear the faint sound of mu sic and now I see Doris Jackson standing before a large crowd singing a solo. The globe now turns to little cottage in the country Myron Nicholls is sitting, in the yard completing one of his humorous stories.
As I turn my crytal back to the city, I see a lady entering a department store. She asks for a copy of "Poems, by Marion Wanderer",who has now become a great poetess.
My’vision is now faint, a shadow passes before the globe, as I can see no more I will put my globe away.

OUR TRIP TO RICHMOND
We left Powhatan Courthouse at seven forty Five Saturday morning, April 23,1932.
Arriving in Richmond, we stopped first at Libby Hill Park where we could get a good view of the city. Here we saw the monument erected to the Soldiers and Sailors of the Confederate States.
Continuing our trip, we stopped next at St. John's Church. Here we saw the pew from which Patrick Henry made his famous speech and in the graveyard the tomb of Edgar Allen Poe's mother. We also saw the old baptismal font from which Pocahontas was baptised and a sounding board over the pulpit which came from England. The church has been greatly enlarlarged since it was first built.
Next we went to the Confederate Museum where we saw many Civil War relics such as things that belonging to General Lee and Jackson and many other Southern leaders. The Museum was divided into rooms representing the different Southern states.
Visiting next the Valentine Museum we saw many famous statutes and Egyptian handiwork. On the next floor we saw many Indian bones from mounds and the old Indian dug out canoe. Another very inteesting thing was an Egyptian mummy.
From here we went over to the State Museum where we saw many species of wild life such as birds and animals from all over Virginia. There were also many minerals.
After eating our lunch in the Capitol Square, we went through the Capitol building. In the rotunda of this building we saw the famous Houdon statue of Washington and around the walls the busts of many Virginia born presidents.
Next we went to the News Leader where we saw' how the daily paper is printed and had our picture taken. We then went through Hollywood Cemetery where and saw the graves of thousands of people and Presidents Monroe, Tyler, Davis and General Fitzhugh Lee.
Leaving here we drove up Monument Avenue seeing the statutes and came to Battle Abby. Here are famous mural and oil paintings of the officers of the Civil War.
We went next to Soldiers Home Museum. We also saw some of the veterans here.
"Maymont" was our next stop Here we went through the palatial home of the late James Dooley with its rich furnishings. We walked around thet grounds seeing beautiful flowers everywhere and the Italian and Japanese gardens. *
Leaving Maymont we went to the city water works and saw how the water from the James was purified. We returned home a very tired crowd.

FUTURE FARMERS OF A<ERICA
The Future Farmer organization is sponsored by boys pursuing Vocational Agriculture. Virginia was the first state to have a chapter ef Future Farmers. The original organization was known as the Future Farmers of Virginial grew so fast that other states fell in line. This call ed for a new name. "The Future Farmers of America " was agreed upon and a National Charter seeured. The National organization is now over sixty-thousand strong in membership.
The State organization publishes a bi-monthly magazine known as "Chapter Chats". This magazine was named through a contest among the various chapter members, Sydney Williams being the winner.
The organization promotes co-operation among boys pursuing* Agricultural courses; creates a love for rural life; presents the country as the most delightful place to live; and teaches the rules and their ap plication of true sportmanship.
One of the activities of the local chapter is athletics, which consists of basketball in the fall season and baseball in the spring. Minstrels are given by the Home Ecomomics girls and Agricultural boys. The proceeds from the minstrels are used to improve the appearence of the class rooms and buy better athletic equipment. The father and son banquet which is an annual social affair gets the boys and their parents together. The farm tour gives the boys a chance to go on trips that they had never had an opportunity to take before. The annual rally held in Blacksburg in June gives the local chapter winners a chance to pit their knowledge of Iivestock, poultry, and farm crops against that of the win ners of the other chapters through out the state.

HOME ECONOMICS HISTORY
Home Ecomonics began in the elementary school un der the name "Domestic Science". Now Home Ecomonics departments are in all schools. Cooking was the first sub ject introduced .Today cooking, sewing, and other household arts are taught.
When school began last fall our Home Economics De partment was not finished; hence we found it necessary to use another room for class. We organized our class into a club which we named "The Sylvia Slocum Club" for Miss Sylvia Slocum who is very famous in Home Economics work.
Our club includes twenty-nine members. We decid ed to have a meeting on the second Monday of each month. Our motto is, ” It can be done and we can do it".
In November we moved into our lovely new depart ment. We gave the Seniors a Christmas party. All enjoyed playing together.
A minstrel was given in February sponsored by the F.F.A. and Home Ecomonic Departments. Many members of our club took part in this Minstrel. Our share of the profit was sixteen dollars with which we bought sherbet glasses and financed our picnic at Finch’s Pond.
On March seventeeth, the Home Ecomonics girls serv ed at the Fathers Son Banquet given by the F.F.A boys. The Home Econonics girls of our club were very sor ry to read of the death of Mrs. Ora Hart Avery(in March), our State Supervisor of Home Econonics.
On April thirteenth we gave Miss Wynne a supprise birthday party.
Now at the end of the year we are reaping the re ward of our work.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM
The girl basketball team of 1932 is a living example of good sports who are good losers. Although the girl basketball team lost many games, the team enjoyed playing under the instruction of Miss Eleanor Moon, the coach. Mattie Cosby was the captain of the team and Mary Younce was the manager. Dispite the fact that more games were loss than won, many scores were close and games hard foughts.
The real line up was: Mattie Cosby and Mary Younce forward Martha Royal! and Elsie Knabe guards; Sara Barns, jump center and Blanch oebb, side center. The substitutes were: Courtney Tilman Margaret Schroeder and Inez Williams.
As the school opened late the team could not play many games. The day of the first game, instead of playing one game the team played two games.
The scores of the entire season were as follows:
Hamilton—23 Powhatan—22 Varina—4 Powhatan—47 Amelia—28 Powhatan—18 Cumberland—29 Powhatan—28 Hamilton—36 Powhatan—12 Varina—21 Powhatan—20 Amelia—29 Powhatan—15 Cumberland—28 Powhatan—9
The most exciting game of all was the game that Powhatan played with Cumberland and tied 24-24. The tie was played off, Cumberland gaining one point.
