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.

Senior Play SEVENTEEN IS AWFULLY YOUNG A rousing comedy, in three acts, written by Ruth and Nathan Hale, was presented by the South Hill Senior Class, Friday, February 25, 1955 at 8:00 P. M. This is the story of the Eliot sisters: Jan, the favored pampered darling, and Nicki, the mouse. The Eliots have just moved to the small town of River- ville, and Jan is in revolt. AtRosstown High she had been chosen most attrac- tive girl of the year, so enrolling in a school with a student body of three hun- dred was quite a let-down- -that is, until she saw Jack Westmore. Nicki saw him, too, and ran into her little corner and began to daydream, as usual, about a fairy godmother who would change her into a glamour girl overnight and one did, a school teacher, a Miss Tilby, who had an amazing gift for catalog- ing people and putting them exactly where they belonged. A thumbnail sketch of the whole situation dissolves itself into what is re- ally a tussle between brawn, beauty, and brains, with brains, comingout on top for a change--which doesn’t mean it’s lacking in oomph- -Ohno, there ’s plenty of that, with Goofer, the football hero, and that double-crossing Jan, who’d re- sort to anything to keep Jack Westmore. The play characters were: Jan - Harriette Moseley; Nicki - Gayle Weaver; Mother - F ranees Callahan; Jack Westmore - Harvey Crowder; Miss Tilby - Eula Ray Williams; Albert - Jimmie Keith Crowder; Ruby Rainey - Frances Taylor; Goofer Peterson - Bill Cook; Thaddeus - Buck Feild; Caroline - Eulia Clyde Crowder.
