We are now in the age of crooners, vie platters, and bobby sox. The present genera- tion, however, though seemingly concerned with trivial things realizes its duty to school, to country, and to God. But the young must live as the young will, and in this case to live means identification bracelets, painted legs, heavenly hunks of movie stars and thin, half-starved crooners who arouse our motherly in- stinct. So laying all serious things aside and floating into the World of teen-age dreams, we proceed with our record of the age of today. ,A YVe appreciate the opportunity to pay tribute to the gallant and noble heart of our sponsor, Mrs. Alfred Alexander Jones, who with admirable strength of character, has had the courage and refinement of spirit to face life and carry on. -C K x ,KK A-4 V JOSEPH B.

TRLJCKER- THE TRUCKER Our story of 1944-45 at Churchland had its beginning last year when the Student body elected Joe Choate, editor-in-chief, and Elmo Burks, business manager. This fall Lois Jessup was selected as assistant editor and Ruth Hath- away, Sophie Riddick, and Bobby Monroe as literary, art, and sports editors re- spectively with Ellen Gibbs, Betty Byrd, and Peggy Savage as assistants. Com- plete staffs were chosen and plans were made for the year. To start things off with a bang We treated ourselves to a picnic supper at Ballard's Beach. There were many good things to eat, a roaring fire, and plenty of singing with Sophie and Johnnie taking the lead and Billy delighting us and making Mary Martha blush with his rendition of Mary. After Christmas we dug into hard work-getting ads, taking pictures whenever we had a sunny day, organizing write-ups, and frantically hoping we would have everything done on time. We still have a vivid picture of Joe trying to be the dignified editor, of Ruth and Ellen tearing their hair over using the right words in the right places, and of Elmo and Smitty making up their ad sales talk. We can still hear Mrs. Jones saying, We'll decide that later. and Bill Denton, Johnnie Houghton, and Henry Willett shouting, Wanna buy an annual? Eddie Oast headed the ad staff and Emily Trant, Mary Martha Curran, Iva Martin, Raymond Smith, Virgil Haywood, John Taylor, Robert Hand, Gilbert Christian, Philip Weddle, and Wanda Fcster made frequent trips to town for ads. At one time we were afraid Dallas would start saying, Look this way and hold it, please in his sleep, he took so many pictures. Dale Harris, assistant photographic editor, Mary Downey Lawrence, Jackie Gaskins, and Anne Burnett, publicity agents, and Mae Smith, typist completed our staff of thirty-two members, and kept us in a whirl taking snaps, making posters, and asking for write-ups to type. And so-page by page-picture by picture--the 1944-1945 Trucker has slowly been put together. of The end of every six weeks this year brought great excitement to f Egg A Q Churchlandf The Countryman was QLJLJE Q published! After an all-time jobiof scrambling for write - ups, getting articles typed, and racking our brains for ideas, we breathed a collective sign of relief when the paper was finished and in the hands of our class mates. Fmily and Milton, our editors, relaxed and for a few days ceased tearing from one end of the school to another tracking down news. ta ,af . ,1 xp I V, R la .'i- This fall our staff was organized and with Mrs. Thomas as our adviser we immediately set to work. Mary Downey and Bobby Monroe kept us financially straight for the year. Betty Byrd developed a real nose for news as news editor. Somehow Mary Martha learned of all social affairs and Louise was the typical gossip editorfknow- ing everything about everybody. Robert johnson and Jean Underwood were always up to date on sports, and Ann Burnett drew all the pretty pitchersn which decorated The Countryman. We kept jewel Dunnagan, Mae Smith, and Elizabeth XVilkins constantly at their typewriters and Bill Shea, Virgil Haywood, and John Taylor developed quite a technique at mimeographing. As our assistants for '44-'45 we selected Katherine Baines, ,Toe Breakfield, Clarence Eason, ackie Gaskins, Ellen Gibbs, Martha Hardy, Paul Hughes, Eddie Oast, Jeanette Pearson, Sophie Riddick, Martha Weaver, Iohnny Belch, and Henry VVillett. YYith the last edition of The Countrymanl' came the realization that another school year is ended. But the memories of the fun we have had sharing experiences and working together will stay with us. l 4 ,4 M LU 's A With visions of Bernhardt and Barrymore in our empty heads and with dreams of spotlights, costumes, and greasepaint, the Dramatic Club of C. H. S. eagerly made and executed plans for our First big year. Under the capable guidance of Miss Gibbs, we produced three plays. The first of these three great dramas was Minikin and Munikin. Marianna and Dale in the title roles, delighted their audience with the portrayal of two china Figurines. Then came variety galore! Bob Kelly, as a rich old bachelor, was brought to his knees in shame, when the girls he had-iilted came back to him in his dreams. Iiach opening of the curtain revealed a different personality. Ruth Hathaway as the fresh as a daisyl' country girl, joan Burnett as the sophisticated daring widow, and jackie Hanrahan as the stately, but sweet nurse started our play. The breezy riding girl, the flippant airy conquette, and the smart, trim, military girl, Mary Martha Curran, Bobbette Chapman, Gladys Roberts, respectively, bought ripples of excitement and delight to our audience. VVith Jeanette Pearson as the 4 vigorous tennis girl and Vir- ginia Parker as the heavenly nun, our play reached the halfway mark. The stage- fright which had enveloped us all at the start was fast disappearing and as our diversified performance con- tinued we felt fully con- vinced-al m o s t-that as actors and actresses we were the real McCoy. This sense of satisfaction and well-being was further- ed by Ellen Gibbs as the Winsome college lass and by Mary Downey Lawrence as the Belle of the Ball, climaxed by the strains of the wedding march as the curtain opened on Emily Trant, the enchanting and radiant bride. Our third and last attempt to eclipse Bernhardt and Barrymore brought forth gales of laughter from our appreciative a u d i e n c e. Whenever Sophie and Bill get together there's bound to be a riot. And riot it was with their portryal of 'LA Pair of Lunaticsn lost in an asylum. XVith our plays over, and the dehnite idea firmly established in our heads that acting is not all bright lights, we turn- ed away from the glamour of the theatre to the routine of school life. impatient for the time when we could again try out talents at acting. The Churchland Orchestra, under the direction of Miss Slusser, has mastered about thirty-five orchestra- tions this year. It has played for the U. S. O., the Country Club, Barlow Farms, and also for several school assemblies, P. T. A. meetings, and a Freshman Dance. The orchestra consists of the following musicians: Bobby Krausse and Philip VVeddle, saxaphonistsg Charlie Newton, O. Baker, Bob VVilliams, James Polston, and Harold Sherill, trumpetersg Howard Jeffers, bass horn, Bobby Burnell, drummer, Virginia Lee Parker and VVilliam YVeaver, pianists, and Jimmy Fallen, trombonist. Q.. Boys' HifY Newly organized this year the Churchland Boys, Hi-Y elected George Fuller, Luther Ewell, Stanley Fass, and Henry Willett as president, secretary, and treasurer respectively to lead the club in the performance of the duties of the nationally famous Hi-Y. The platform of the club is clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. These principles the members have worked to maintain throughout the year in school and community relationships hoping to help in forming the essentials for a clean world. johnny Belch, Broaddus Breakfield, Bobby Buchanan, Dick Bussom, Robert Luther Ewell, Stanley Fass, L. D. Fitchette, George Fuller, Billy GriHin, Billy Griswold, Boyd Gwynn, Robert Hand, R. C. Lilly, Jerry Meads, John Mills, Tommy Snell, Buddy Syer, and Henry I. Willett are the Hi-Y members for 1944-45. Girls' HifY The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character. The standard which was set for membership in the newly organized Churchland Girls' Hi-Y is the passing of the preceednig year's work and a C average on conduct. The first program which was sponsored by the Hi-Y was a barn dance on Friday, December 15 and with hay, fiddles, and wagon wheels giving the real atmosphere of a barn, we all danced enthusiastically. In January the club had charge of the auditorium program and had as its speaker, Rev. W. W. White, whose subject was The Principles and Ideals ofthe H1-Y. The members ofthe Hi-Y for 1944-45 are as follows: Mary Burnett, Elizabeth Eberwine, Shirley Gilmore, Lois Jessup, June Livermon, Marie Parks, Sophie Riddick, Laura Sparrer, Peggy Shepherd, Elizabeth Wilkins, Martha Weaver, Marianna Clarke, Bobette Chapman, Jackie Hanrahan, Ruth Hathaway, Audrey Jenkins, Virginia Lee Parker, Ruth Potts Evelyn Sawyer, Greta Jean Wells, Rosemary Burks. 3 Officers: president, Irene Goddin, vice-president, Jewell Dunnagang secretary, Margaret Damerong treasurer, Jean Greene. Every Wednesday morning this year the strains of lively music issuing from the cafeteria have been a signal for another meeting of the Dance Club. The club was formed to promote generally the growth of social life at Churchland and to en- courage specifically good dancing and good fellowship. This year under the leadership of Robert johnson president, Sally Smith as vice-president, Emily Trant as secretary-treasurer, and Miss Wright as adviser, the club has sponsored several dances open to the entire student body. Members of the club are as follows: O. Baker, Jean English, VVinnie Robertson, Harold Sherrill, Virginia English, Muriel Haddock, Raymond Smith, Katherine Baines, Betty Bishop, Virginia Lee Parker, Jackie Hanrahan, Frances Hodges, Billy Griswold, Carl johnson, Mary Martha Curran, Clarence Eason, Martha Hardy, Suzanne Hall, Mary Ann Stevens, Barbara Lasting, Loaise Raines. 7. 2. if Q 5 uf., - :Q s w. SE ' W f L,-we wa ff , Something new has been added! This year the girls who take Home Eco- nomics decided to organize a club. This club has participated in many school activities. They served at the football banquet, gave the faculty a tea, acted as hostesses to the P. T. A. at a formal tea, and entertained the student body in an assembly program by presenting a fashion show. The club members have learned many things which will be very useful in future days.

DGUBLE-VTROUBLE 'Tb Mzss cb QISHUPS CLASS' AQQN VWTOB QEASS- A Hopper: This Was The Year When.. Surprise! The Grammar School moved in the new building. - Churchland -went. big time with an assistant principal! Mr. Beck was strictly in the groove with his tricky shirts, gay ties, and turned up hat. VVe all came back to an almost unrecognizable school! New library, new commercial department, new cafeteria, etc. I MacArthur made good his threat, I shall return as he recaptured The Philip- pines. E. Eberwine blossomed like a rose. Big Time Operator George Fuller has blessed Churchland with more plans than it has ever had in its history. Colonel Henley and his leathernecks brought us a super show of guys, guns, and gals. Miss VVilliam's boys harem and King Johnsorfs girls harem were lhe big talk around school! As the old year gives way to the new, Sinatra stepped down from his pedestal to be succeeded by the bobby-sox Van Johnson. The American Marines took possession of Iwo Jima. ' Long socks, silver berets, baggy chartreuse pullovers and bangs swept the school. The newly organized Beta Club presented the school with a service Hag. The kids were Hoored by the new spring fever victims, Willie Atkins and Suzanne Hall. Churchland was gifted with the personage of Slop-Jaw Griswold whose only objective is to amuse fellow cell mates. Milton Rountree finally pulled the rest of his personality from behind that curtain in the senior play The Whole Town's Talking. The entire globe was shaken by the death of the Chief Executive of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and our country now turns to Harry S. Truman for honest, sincere leadership. Not much could have been accomplished without Dallas and his camera. Harold Sherrill returned to school about twice the size he was when he left. Double Trouble! We discovered Carol Norlieet, a new-comer to Churchland, had a voice just like Kate Smith. The moan of the saxaphone of Bobby Krausse has gone in one ear to stay. The innovation Csee dictionaryj of the Beauty Queenies was put over by the Boys' H1-Y with great gusto. Martha Weaver shocked the school by wearing Elmo's Floogie-Hoogie head- piece in forbidden territory! The Sophomore class, after having so many teachers, was finally put on its feet by Miss Gallagher. Germany Surrendered! ATHLETIE5 --gag FOOTBALL The Churchland Truckers Compiled a record of four wins, four losses, and one tie despite the loss of many players during the season. Much praise is deserved by Coach Robert Davis for his fine work with the squad. The team opened the season by defeating Poquoson 14-0. ln the next game the boys held the Morrison eleven to a O-0 tie during a rainstorm. The next three games the Truckers slumped, losing to Kempsville, Norview, and Suffolk. However, learning well the lessons of defeat, Churchland overran Alexander Park with Atkins, l.yons, and Rountree leading the Way. Wins over Suffolk and Oceana followed. The team ended the season against Cradock on Thanksgiving Day in the Portsmouth Stadium. Churchland was in the lead at the half 7-li, but sorely missed Miller in the last half. Cradoek won I8-7 in the hard fought contest which brought to a close the 1944 football season. SCHT'lDUl,1f Gaim' Opponfnlx Clflllffflflllllf Poquoson, . . ......,....,... 0 14 Morrison ...,.. .
