The School Classes Activitl es Athletics Features The annual staff has not written this book alone; for the guiding hands of our faculty, and the inspiring faith of the students have been present. The theme of the 1948 Virginian is our new gymnasium which is spotlighted in the five sections of the book. We are exceedingly proud of this beautiful addition to our school, and we trust that the future stu- dents of Virginia High will get as much pleasure and benefit from it as we have. Page 5 A Sincere Friend The world in which we live is indeed a modern and progressive one. Education, too, must advance at a rapid pace in order to keep in step with the ever changing times. This can be made possible only by the people who are mindful of the importance of education. It is just such a person who has labored for the better- ment of Virginia High, for he so carefully supervised to completion the new gymnasium. In grateful appreciation of his services and abilities we dedicate the 1948 Virginian to Mr. Martin Hassinger. Page 6 Mr. Joseph B. Van Pelt Superintendent The Ad ministration Mr. Theo. T.

T h e 19 4 8 V i n i a n The 1948 Virginian Staff, composed of Seniors with the exception of a Junior snap- shot editor, began the year with little knowl- edge of the trials and tribulations of a year- book staff; nevertheless we learned early in the game to enjoy our work, and through the guidance of our sponsors, Miss Hillman and Miss Hundley, we finally completed the book — even the rushing at the last minute to get everything ready to go to press. We hope you get as much pleasure from reading it as we have in its preparation.

The issues were irregular until the paper was published under the direction of the Senior High S.C.A. in 1943. This year the staff has worked hard to make money for the paper by selling programs at football games. The Little Virginian is published monthly with a special football issue appearing in November. Subscriptions were issued and papers were sold when they came out. It has been the goal of the staff to be financially independent so as to give the student body a better paper.

Page 41 ACTIVITIES Senior High Student Cooperative Association The officers of this school year were elected from the junior, sophomore, and freshman class of last year. In October, these were installed by Bill Henry, the first president of the organization at Virginia High School. Our important achievements of the year were many. We sold programs at football games and made shakers for Virginia-Tennessee game. Student letters were awarded to outstanding seniors at graduation. We sponsored The Little Virginian, the school paper and also sponsored the con- cession stand. We sent delegates to the State Convention at Fredericksburg. At this convention, Nancy Os- borne served as secretary. The S. C. A. was first organized in 1939 under the leadership of Bill Henry with Mrs. W. W. Fill inger as sponsor. The first year was spent in getting organized. During the next year the S. C. A. took an active part in the community drives and attended the district and state meetings. Its aims have been to create a cooperative spirit between the school and community and to promote good citizenship. The three upper classes made up the S. C. A. The Perfect Council with its five elected officers, class presidents and representatives of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes, and the General Council representing each home room, compose the legislative body of the organization. T ' hese groups provide the students with a chance to present their problems and keep them informed of student activities. Left to right: M. Neblctt, Mrs. Fillinger, G. Stuart, C. Hassinger, E.

Junior High udent Cooperative Association The Junior Student Cooperative Association was organized in Virginia High, in 1941, for the purpose of giving the junior high pupils a definite part in school participation and training. Each year new officers and council members are chosen by the junior student body. Also each year certain goals or projects are set up to work towards for train- ing and betterment of all. Some of these projects may be Assembly programs, beautification of school, attendance, helping in community drives, encouraging church attendance, and daily devotions in each home room, etc. The Junior S. C. A. affords an opportunity for training in leadership and responsibility as well as training in cooperation between pupils and teachers. AT VIRGINIA HIGH Page 4 ACTIVITIES. B o y s ' H i - Y The Boys’ Hi-Y is a national religious organization in high schools, and is the link between the high schools and the Young Men’s Christian Association. The Boys’ Hi-Y had a very successful year with Roy Tipton, President; Toni Gardner, Secretary; Carol Crumley, Treasurer and Sweetheart; Conley Baker, Chap- lain; John Harrington, Sergeant-at-Arms; and Mr. Rasnick, Sponsor. We started the year off with a bang by having a date night at Conley Baker’s; we all had a grand time. For our projects we helped load the Friendship train which was brought to Bristol. At Christmas we played Santa to an indigent child. At the first of April we gave a dance in the new gym. This was a very success- ful as well as interesting affair. Door prizes were given and even cakes, which were graciously donated by our mothers, were offered as prizes in the cake walk. The Regional Convention of the Boys’ Hi-Y clubs was held in Knoxville for three days the latter part of April. At this time plans were made for us to send two delegates to the meeting. Probably the most eventful and the climax of the year was the long-awaited outing at Hungry Mother Park.

Girls ' Hi-Y The Girls’ Hi-Y is a religious organization, its purpose being to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian living. It consists of fifteen members — eight of which were voted in at the beginning of this year. Phil Long was chosen as our sweetheart, and after undergoing the trying initiation became one of us. Miss Good is our sponsor. In carrying out our yearly project, we cared for a little girl at the fame Hammit Home. Through- out the year, we enjoyed doing different things for her. For instance, we gave her a birthday party and took her gifts, both at Christmas and Easter. In October we had a “Date Night” at which time each member was allowed to bring a date. We gave a dance in the new gym, which was decorated appropriately and this was the first formal dance of the year. The Foundation helped us with it. This event occurred on Valentine’s Day. In May we had our final outing of the year. This was a purely social meeting and fun was had by all. Our officers for the year were: Carol Crumley, President; Mary Neblett, Vice-President; Peggy Williams, Secretary; and Ann Nicar, Treasurer. AT VIRGINIA HIGH Page 45 ACTIVITIES.

Junior Civitan Club The purpose of the Junior Civitan Club is to “promote good citizenship” in onr school and community. Vc have tried to follow this purpose throughout the year and through the interest of the Civitan Club, our senior sponsor, and our faculty adviser, Coach Louis Kovacs, we have accomplished many things. We have also had much fun working together. During this year, we sponsored the boys’ inter-class tournaments and presented a trophy to the winners. Another project was the showing of movies on bad days when the students couldn’t get out- side. We took a Santa Pal at Christmas on whom we spent thirty- five dollars. This was spent to clothe him from head to toe and also to secure for him attractive toys. We had one outing at the first of the year and planned several more before the year was over. Our only outing was held at Rouse’s cabin on the Holston River, and we all had a good time. Several adventurers, namely Nancy Osborne and Bob Jordan fell in the creek, but thev escaped without pneumonia. Our officers this year included: Cordon Stuart, President; Bill Sharrett, Vice-President; Mary Neblett, Secretary; Phil Long, Treas- urer; Vance Heaberlin, Sergeant-at-Arms; and Bob Mumpower, Chaplain.

The Junior Pamsh-Vance Foundation The Junior Parrish-Vance Foundation lias for its purpose the cooperation with the school and community in social service work. The club had many projects this year. We had a Santa Pal at Christmas, paid visits to the Katie Lockett Home, made contributions to Infantile Paralysis, Red Cross, and Crippled Children Drives, and assisted in community drives such as those mentioned above. In addition, we had charge of an assembly program and had one pay program. One of the highlights of the year was a Valentine Dance in our new gym- nasium, to which our entire student body, faculty, and school board members were invited. This dance was sponsored jointly by our club and the Girls’ Hi-Y group. The officers for this year were as follows: Betty Wayne Sanders served as President; June Reuning as Vice-President; Betty Huntsman, Secretary; Virginia LeSueur, Treasurer; Conley Baker, Sweetheart and Sergeant-at-Arms; Miss Hillman, Sponsor. For the success of our year’s activities we owe much to our helpful adviser, Miss Hillman. AT VIRGINIA HIGH Page 47 ACTIVITIES Beta Club This has been a very eventful year for the Beta Club, which is a scholarship club, and all students who maintain an average of C plus or over, are eligible for membership. We have been meeting at the homes once a month, and at school once a month. For the first project of the year, we sponsored a Backwards Day at school and that night there was a Sock Hop — the first dance in the new gym. Our money-making projects were quite successful. We sold candy at lunch and split the profits with the Foundation Club. Movies were shown at lunch during the winter months. This was a partnership with the Civitan Club and the Safety Patrol. We also helped with the concession stand at basketball games. Probably the biggest event of the year was on April 24, when a large delegation of us went to Richmond to the State Beta Club Convention. This three-day meeting was held at the Hotel John Marshall. We all enjoyed this trip very much. We were ably guided by our sponsor. Miss Edith Lockett, and the following officers: President, Caroline Ilassinger; Vice-President, Kenneth Blaylock; Secre- tary, Teresa Rainero; Treasurer, Tommy Lester.

The Junior The Y-Teens are two organizations whose membership consists of girls who are in Senior high school. The pur- pose of the clubs is to promote Christian ideals among its members and throughout the members of the student body. The Senior Y-Teens packed boxes for overseas relief and also helped with sale of poppies. Several times during the year we had “date night” at which time each member brought a date. These were held either at the Y. Y. C. A. or at the home of some member. We danced, played games and served refreshments. The Senior Y-Teens had a dance at the Y. W. C. A. Thanksgiving. As a scheme for raising money for the pictures for the annual and other financial investments members of both clubs served on the council which had charge of concessions in the gym during basketball season. On April 10 the regional Y-Teen Conference was held at Tennessee High School. Representatives from both clubs attended and enjoyed a most interesting meeting. We had charge of the music.

The Virginia Parrish Club The Library Club, founded in 1900 by Miss Annie Aaron, is composed of student librarians in high school. This year the club had twenty-five members and was sponsored by Miss Leone Cooper, Librarian. The purposes of the Library Club are: (1) To encourage the reading of good books on the part of club members and the student body, (2) To aid in library processes when- ever practicable, and (3) To develop leadership. This year the club participated in many school activ ities and chapel programs. In February the Library Club sponsored two movies, one at lunch, the other after school. Also in February the Library Club was responsible for a devotional and a chapel program. The chapel program was on atomic energy and featured a movie on the atomic bomb followed by a round table discussion on the subject by Sullins College students. In March the Library Club gave two plays, “Just Before the Prom” and “Nell and the City Slicker.” The club enjoyed a spring dance and an outing in the closing days of the spring semester. The officers were: President, Coy McCall; Vice-President, Regina Kelchner; Secretary, Carol Wright; Treasurer, Betty Little; Reporter, Sibyl McCulloch. AT VIRGINIA HIGH Page 55 ACTIVITIES. Diversified Occupations Club The program of Vocational Education for Diversified Occupations is a part-time cooperative program of education in which the business establishments in the community cooperate with the school authorities in providing work experiences and vocational instruction for a selected number of high school students who have earned eight or more units toward graduation and who are placed in employment half of each school day. The various occupations in which the students are engaged for a minimum of 15 hours a week at an average rate of 45 cents per hour are: auto mechanic, dental assistant, general office, book- keeping, theatre management, telephone operator and photography. ' l ire club encourages social activities on the part of such students, since many times their jobs prevent them from entering into other extra-curricular activities. Our last party and outing was given in the spring at Massengill’s. The program is primarily set up for students in Virginia High School who are interested in the occupation which they wish to follow in years to come. The officers for the year were: Hubert Kelchner, President; Betty Wright, Vice-President; Na- dine Edwards, Secretary; Ralph Branson, Treasurer; Jimmy Trammell, Publicity Chairman; Frances C.

Safety P a t r o The Safety Patrol is composed of boys and girls whose duty it is to protect the school children at all times. The main duty consists of patrolling certain corners near school where traffic is heavy before school, during lunch hour and after school. The Patrols, as these members are called, serve as policemen and direct traffic accordingly. Of all the organizations in our school, the Safety Patrol is probably the most responsible. The problems and responsibilities of a patrolman are many and varied. When a boy or girl is taken into the Patrol, he or she accepts these duties willingly, and with full realization of what is ex- pected of him. He realizes his duty concerning the personal safety of every boy and girl in our school. The students are cognizant that the fire buzzer means something a little more serious to these boys; that athletic contests mean work for them; that safety zones are not to be violated. Surely these people are serving with honor their school and community. The officers for the year were: Robert E. Markwalter, Captain; William C. Sharrett, Captain; and Anna Lou Hurt, Sweetheart. Mr. Moore acted as adviser for the group. AT VIRGINIA HIGH Page 57 -ACTIVITIES Boy s ' Glee Club The Boys’ Glee Club is an organization of young men, who arc interested in choral music. The boys progressed rapidly under the able teaching of the Director, Mr. Kreiner. At Christmas, the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Chibs joined with the Band to give an impressive, as well as an enjoyable, program. This program was given in the auditorium and sent us off for the holidays full of the Yuletide spirit. On March 20 the Glee Club went to the District Music Festival in Pulaski, where they re- ceived excellent rating of both solo and group singing. In the spring the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Chibs again joined together with the Band to give the annual Spring Concert. The officers for the year were: Tom Gardner, President; Jimmy Brumit, Vice-President; Em- mett Bane, Secretary; Roy Tipton, Treasurer; Hugh Saul and Johnny Rush, Librarians. Miss Edith Lockett was the pianist. First row: Oakley Williams, Hugh Lee Saul, Johnny Rush, Tom Gardner, Charles Cross, Gordon Underwood, Emmett Bane, Karl Kreiner, Mr. Kreiner.

Although we, as modern high school girls, have a natural liking for the hep music of our age, we realize the true worth of the beautiful music which has come down through the ages. To keep that interest alive, as well as to develop a true appreciation for the classics, has been the aim of the Glee Club. Singing for the joy of singing, we spent many hours in the music room working diligently to perfect ourselves in our music. On December 5, we were proud to participate on the program of the dedication of the gym- nasium. At Christmas, just before our holidays, we gave some inspiring songs on the annual Christ- mas program which was presented in the auditorium. The Glee Club is composed of girls from the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes. We are indebted to our Dir ector, Mr. Raymond F. Kreiner, for our progress this past year. The officers of the club were: President, lAolores Carrier; Vice-President, Nancy Snyder; Secretary, Judy Galliher; Treasurer, Ann Peavler; Reporter, Agnes Hopkins; Librarians, Betty Huntsman and Mary Stuart.

Page 61 Physics Club The Physics Club is an organization designed to further interest in science by providing for the student the opportunity to pursue his own interests. Meetings were held every first and third Tuesday afternoons with social meetings called by popular vote. Membership is limited to those studying physics or those who have studied physics. French Club Although the French Club was organized late in the year, we feel that it has been worthwhile. At our bi-monthly meetings after school hours we learned French songs, read some French plays, and had French conversation. One meeting was devoted to movies which showed Paris the Mag- nificent, Historic Sites on the Norman Coast, and the Fall of France. Our last meeting of the year was a luncheon at which the menu was in French, and we tried to converse entirely in French. Billy Bryant was our President; Anne Peavler, Vice-President; Virginia LeSueur, Secretary; Creighton Jones, Treasurer; Mrs. Nora DeBusk and Miss Etta Hillman, Sponsors. Latin Club The Latin Club, composed of members of the second and third-year Latin classes, is a class- time organization with semi-monthly meetings. Its purpose is to acquaint the student with the civilization of the Romans — their life, language, literature, customs, and history. Through pro- grams devoted to the study of these things, the student is able to develop an appreciation for the classics and enrich his cultural background. Through various activities the student is able to make a practical application of information gained from the study of the classics. One of the projects for the past year was a banquet which we gave in true Roman style. Red Cross Council The purpose of the Red Cross Council in this school is to carry on projects sponsored by the National Red Cross. This year we packed boxes for relief and sent them overseas. In addition to this we collected money for CARE. In Lebruary we entertained the City Council at which time Hugh Saul, our city and local president, presided. We had charge of the Red Cross drive in March and candy was sold throughout the year in Miss Baxter’s room to help defray expenses. Other officers who so ably guided us through the year were: Loretta Rogers, Secretary; Ken- neth Blaylock, Treasurer. Lastly our thanks go to Miss Billie Baxter who served as our adviser. Future Homemakers The Future Homemakers Chapter was newly organized this year. It is not only a local organiza- tion, but one which is affiliated with state and national organizations. Opportunities are afforded each member to meet other girls through federat ion outings and camp. Meetings are held bi-monthly with special social activities. The programs have been varied with speakers, films, parliamentary procedure and other programs in which girls participated. There were two outstanding occasions of the year. One was the Christmas party at which our club was Santa Pal to a five-year-old girl and a very special program was given — typical of the season. The sec- ond was a contribution of home canned food made to the Sheltering Arms Hospital in Richmond, which is an annual project of all chapter members in the state. The officers of the Virginia High School F. H. A. were: President, Alice Stuart; Vice-President, Willia Cain; Secretary, Agnes Hopkins; Treasurer, Faye Kent; Reporter, Bessie Roberts.

The Gridiron With Virginia High Resume ' of the Season Virginia’s highly underrated Bearcats held Erwin to a 6-0 score in the first game of the season. The entire team played well. Vir- ginia, losing two scores that were called back because of penalties, lost to Tazewell in the second game. Returning home to play John- son City, the Virginia boys still could not get into the win column. The Bearcats, with their attack finally clicking, romped over Graham in the next game. With their running, passing, and blocking still func- tioning properly, they ran over Abingdon 53 to 14. They traveled to Marion to play Coaches Kovacs, Mr. Harris, Mr. G. Kovach Resume ' of the Season their seventh contest only to lose by a score of 28 to 12.

In the game with Grundy, Virginia scored three quick touchdowns and then staved off several Grundy drives to win the game. Before taking on Tennessee, the Bearcats played host to Norton’s “Black Raiders” and lost by a score of 19-0. Tennessee High won the city championship.

In the girls’ physical education program, an effort was made, not only to develop the student’s body strong physically, but also mentally, socially, and morally. This development goes on al- though the pupil is unconscious of the change that is taking place in his body during exercise, or in getting along and being a part of the group as a whole. The program consisted of the major and minor sports, recreational games, some social and folk dances, and a class in rhythm. The sports participated in by the classes were volleyball, softball, basketball, tennis, and games of a lower type for the seventh graders. There were recreational games in ping-pong, shuffleboard, and badminton for the medically excused group. Classes in the art of stunts and tumbling were held once a week. Calisthenics started the daily physical education program.

Intra-mural games in basketball, volley ball, softball, and ping-pong were held for the eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. The class gaining the highest total points was awarded a color cup. T en points were awarded in major sports, and five in minor sports. This intra-mural program brought out the majority that was interested in sports, and encouraged mass participation rather than the game for the few. A basketball game was played against V. I. College, from which our all-star team emerged victorious! The classes had their own student leaders, and squad captains (each student was given the op- portunity to be a student leader in formal drill). Health lectures were in the program and played a vital part in the student’s everyday life. Subjects most discussed were: “Your Posture,” “Study of the make-up of the body,” “Self-improvement,” “F.xercise, and its effect upon the body.” The general theme was “Let your body be strong, and your mind healthy.” Page 76 HELP MAKE BRISTOL GOOD PLACE TO LIVE ? 0 6 Se emor Joe Hawkins Best looking boy Vernon Sharrett Best dressed boy Bill “Peck” Siiarrett Most athletic boy Mary Neblett Prettiest girl Peggy Williams Best dressed girl Edith Barb Most athletic girl Page 78 Mary Neblett Most intellectual girl Nancy Snyder Most flirtatious girl Nancy Osborne Wittiest girl tUo Tommy Lester Most intellectual boy Bob Widener Most flirtatious boy Gordon Stuart Wittiest boy Page 79 s. e n i o r BILL SHARRETT “Peck,” co-captain of the 1947 Bear- cats, made up the second half of Vir- ginia’s pair of great ends.
