We hope that the spirit which was started in 1929 and carried through 1954 will remain forever in the new consolidated high school. “As one team- mate to another, we wish you a very successful career.’’ 1954 SCORES South Hill 0 F ranklin 32 South Hill 0 V ictoria 0 South Hill 24 Chase City 6 South Hill 0 Kenbridge 47 South Hill 6 Clarksville 30 South Hill 0 Courtland 19 South Hill 19 Chase City 0 South Hill 12 Lawrenceville 7 South Hill 2 Clarksville 0 Z.

Homecoming Queen Of 1954-55 EULIA CLYDE CROWDER HOMECOMING The first Homecoming for the South Hill High School was held November 14, 1947, with Annie Lou Cleaton as Queen. The Queen was crowned by Mr. Charles H. Morgan, Principal. Since then there have been HomecomingF e s - tivitie s held each fall, with parades, football games, and dances. The annual event this year was a combination of the Harvest Festival and Homecoming. Eulia Clyde Crowder, as Queen, reigned over the entire festival. The night of October 1st was a night of victory as we defeated Chase City in our annual Homecoming football game. After the game we had a dance at the American Legion Hall. The Hall was decorated in blue and gold, carrying out the school colors, and we danced to the music of Pat Pottridge and his band. The next day, October 2nd, there was a parade consisting of a large num- ber of floats and three bands. That night there was a street dance which con- cluded the combination of the 8th Annual Homecoming and the Harvest Festival.
