We hope that this endeavor to express outwardly our love for the school will, in years to come, arouse the most cherished memories. The traditions, the democratic spirit, and the ideals of Church- land, are all symbolized in its environment by the gentle slope of the school yard; by the dignified strength of the great old oak trees; by the manifestation of God, in the truth and purity of the nearby church; and by the freedom of open spaces, fresh air, and sunshine — “a virtue w ' hich neither cities nor universities enjoy” — Such an atmosphere has become an integral part of the students and has constituted, through the years, the spirit of the school. M ay this yearbook, therefore, serve to remind us of the happiness, and the beauty, and the virtue of our school days and to imbue our lives with the desire to be ever worthv of so beautiful a heritage. With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in — to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. . . . I ' hat this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. — .Abraham Lincoln. We salute those students who have gone from Churchlaml School into the armed forces of our country. Pk Pj sdicats • • • this, the first edition of The Trucker, to Miss Martha Leigh Gibbs. We feel that her influence on each of us has been a signi- ficant part of our school life. 7 ' o her real and abiding friendship, to her wise and discerning counsel, and to her keen sense ot humor, we wish to pay sincere and loving tribute.

These have been among the richest legacies Churchland has bestowed upon us. We, in turn, bestow them upon you. 1 1 ' EM Two — To the Junior Class — We leave the passionate and unquenchable flame for English literature that springs eternal in our breasts. We also leave to them, our wit, our superb knack for keeping in with the teachers, our charming manners, and our good looks, with the sincere hope that the Juniors may therefore be better prepared to take their places on our vacated thrones. Item ' Fhree — T o the Sophomore and Freshman Classes — W’e leave the comforting knowledge that they will grow up, too, some day. Item Four — To Flwood Myers — Roland Houghton leaves his ears, and believe us, he is glad to get rid of them ! I tem Five — To Jean (freen — Dot Skutt leaves her quiet dignity. Item Six — Eddie Goldman leaves his comb — with great reluctance — to O. J. Pennell. I ' l’EM Seven — To Elmo Burks — Caswell leaves Bobbie Stare period. Item Fight — To Johnny Houghton — Thomas Lane bequeaths his industriousness and his ability to get things done on time. Item Nine — With much pleasure, Mary Edna Love leaves to Mary Downey Lawrence her unawareness of boys in general. I l EM 1 ' en — T o Juddie Deans — Hugh Carpenter leaves his height and his strict rule of no talking in class. ■ Item Fi.even — To Mrs. Jones — We leave our undying gratitude for her wise guidance and untiring effort which have made this .Annual possible. Subscribeilj sealed, published and declared by the Senior Class of 1944, as our last will and testament, in the presence of us who have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses this 5th day of June, at the Village of Churchland, County of Norfolk and State of Virginia.

Mr. V an Pelt became the new principal of Churchland. I ' he Fifth Army of the United States began the invasion of Italy. Richard Shea completed his tenth year as president of his class. He was first elected at the age of eight in the second grade. Churchland’s football squad triumphed over Deep Creek for the first time in five years. Ihiited States Flying Fortresses blitzed Berlin in day and night raids. Jimmy Pickrell expected to graduate and did — with flying colors. The gals took over the stag line at the Leap Year Dance and showed the boys how it “oughta be done.” Head Houghton put ev ' erybody’s eyes out with his violently colored shirts and his equally bright ties in clashing colors. I ' he lucky Seniors were Bob Carter’s guests at a barbecue. They’re still talking about it. Interest heightened in the question of a fourth term and in the candidates mentioned for the presidency of the United States. W ee Willie passed the Air Corps exam. M ary Chandler kissed Richard — in the Senior play. Painted glasses, pigtails, identification bracelets, colored shoestrings, two pairs of sloppy socks, and dungarees became the order of the day for the girls. I’he boys’ basketball squad beat the girls by eight points. Churchland became the proud possessor of a stream-lined school bus, with seats just like the Real City Busses. Churchill, Roosevelt, and Chiang Kai-Shek met in Cairo. Brave women fainted when Sinatra sang. Somebody asked in assembly how many times the Annual would be published during the year. Betty Anne sent everybody into gales of laughter with her ‘‘look lak’a sumpn’ cra-zy-” I ' he girls made Casanovas out of Caswell and Philip. Everybody daily expected to move the grammar school into the new building. Churchland was well represented at the launching of the Shangri-La, largest aircraft carrier in the world. Bishop Brown addressed the school in assembly on George Washington’s Birthday. Our forces made rapid strides in the South Pacific. ' I’he first edition of ‘‘The ' I ' rucker” was published. - BEST- — LOOk:iNGf LAZIES-f 1ST ALL AE:OdnD ' V , v ' WwVoa I uAuiW MOST ORK lNAL- CUT E ' ST CO U P Ufc Z SfrO ir:-yt: ' n ' BEPOHT OF MISCONDUCT Room.

Starting with two defeats, they snapped back into good playing form before the end of the season with one tie and four decisive victories. In the games with Oceana and Cradock both schools had things their own way against the Truckers. Cradock, our traditional jinx, downed us with a seasoned team. Oceana, too, proved a more than worthy rival. During the Oceana game Captain Caswell Batchelor, David Fond and Philip Boepple were on the sidelines due to injuries sustained in practice, and after the Oceana game Pickrell was out for the rest of the year. These defeats drove home a lesson and from there on in Churchland played her most determined best. The Truckers led the Norview Pilots, highly rated in class B competition throughout the state. With Bunting starring at end and with Batchelor’s generalship at quarterback, aided by the outstand- ing playing of the whole squad, the Churchlanders reached the peak of the season. Forthwith this fighting squad routed Kempsville, Poquoson, and Prentiss Park Community champions. The Truckers wound up the season in a game against Deep Creek with a backfield of Batchelor, Pond, Neal, Miller, Rountree and Roberts hitting on all fours. This game was played at night at the stadium before an enthusiastic crowd. Here the Truckers played the kind of football worthy of the time Coach Davis had spent on them. Win, lose, or draw, a spirit of “play fair and play hard” was exhibited throughout the entire season by both the Churchland squad and the teams they engaged in battle.
