It is not faney, for we are only ordinary people. It is, howe er, true. Onr purpose in presenting it is to share with yon onr experienees, and to preserve for the years to eoine a ineinorandnin of six of onr happiest years. As ehapters in onr story— views along the yardstiek of learning —eoine the administration, onr guides; the elasses, onr inspiration; the aeti ' ities, onr mental pro ing-gronnds; the sports, onr physieal endea ' ors; and the features, onr sallies in the soeial graees. We measure ourselves, to some extent, by the events here reeorded; we lea e to yon to measure this book by the pietnre of life herein portrayed. In e ' CTy undertaking there must be those who do the planning and exeeution, and who are responsible for sueeess or failure. We have fallen short of the mark many times, while in sehool, but alw ' ays w ' e have had fun and learned a ’alnable lesson; therefore, w ' e eonsider our high sehool life a sueeess. To Mr. an Pelt and Mr. Ilammaek, who provided guides and materials, and who eontiimally offered eongratulations for sueeess, eonsolation in defeat, but kind and wise adviee in everything, we gh ' e nmeh eredit for our aehievements. Under their guidanee, our sehool has steadily grown in numbers, even to o ’ereapaeity. Still, w ' e have not been depri ed of the ehanee to reap the utmost from our edueation, for progress has paeed need. As e idenee of this, our sehool has the new ' est of mate- rials, its largest faeulty in history, and the pleasant prospeet of a nev ’ building in the near future. It is therefore to Mr. Joseph B. Van Pelt and Mr. Theo T. Ilammaek, our friends and guides, that we, the Senior Class of 1952, proudly and with heart-felt gratitude dedieate the 1952 Virginian.

SEVENTH GRADE TEACHERS Page 20 Page 2 1 History of Senior Class Six years ago, a group of 215 little se enth- graders entered the portals of drginia High School bright and early one morning. If they had ever heard “I am the captain of my ship” the knocking knees and cowed looks belied the fact. Overcoming the awe of the building’s magnitude, we elected Bobby Stuart to lead us through the first year. Our chief activity was our operetta, “Cinderella.” A tew members worked in the band and the Junior S.C.A. After the first few days of bewilderment at changing classes, our eighth grade year found us on a firmer foundation, again led by Bobby Stuart. In addition to band and S.C.A. some of our boys began to participate in athletics. Wc former quaking little seventh-graders were cry grown up in the ninth grade, for we began selecting our own subjects. With Bobby Stuart as class president and Sammy Marney as president of the Junior S.C.A., our activities branched even farther this time into the high school clubs. We were certainly proud when Veda Hensley, a member of our class, was elected Miss brginia High X. Our sophomore year saw us take an even greater part in the affairs of the school, with Betty Lowe as our president. ' I ' hc duties of juniors shifted uneasily at first, but soon they settled securely on our shoulders. With Sammy Marucy as our presi- dent, we began early to plan our many activi- ties. First came a magazine sale, then “Life with Lester,” our junior play. In the spring our biggest undertaking, the Spring Festival, was a great success. Our final project was giv- ing the Junior-Senior Banquet, an occasion we can never forget. On Class Night, when we took the senior seats, we were sad to see our older companions leave, but proud and excited at the prospect of being in the coveted position of seniors. W e chose Jimmy Young to lead us through our last year. A bit overwhelmed by the weighty responsibilities of our major offices, we gained assurance and poise when we slipped our class rings on our fingers. If people learn by doing, we learned a great deal this last year. We domi- nated the sports, clubs, newspaper. Student City Government Day, and social activities; we pre- sented our senior play and our annual; and we were honored with the Junior-Senior Banquet, Class Night, and Graduation. Now we prepare to go into fields of work or insfitufions of higher learning. Whafever be our goal, our wishes are thaf we may profit by our past experienees and enjoy the rest of our lives as much as fhesc past six years.

Our a,ssistant prineipal did these things, and, in addition, taught. mathematies to some of us. For these things and many others, we, the Class of ’s2, wish to express our deep ap- preeiation to Mrs. A. J. Faton.

Diversified Occupations is a cooperative voca- tional program for juniors and seniors in high scliool. Each student enrolled must work a mini- mum of 15 hours per week in some business, industry, bank, office, or other place of employ- ment. This program is not set up for the mis-fit or the one who cannot learn; it includes students who want to learn a trade or occupation in order to be better adjusted to working conditions after graduation. Business establishments cooperate with the school in providing work experiences and ocational instruction for these students who are placed in employment half of each school day. These students must be industrious and willing to learn, otherwise they will not fit into the pro- gram. Diversified Occupations offer for these students a good job, excellent means of vocational education, an all-important feeling of case and self-confidence, and the opportunity to earn while learning, d ' hc program tends to emphasize the importance of school subjects rather than deviate from them. Each student receives special atten- tion and advice in regard to his job. He is given suggestions as to what subjects to take and how to arrange his schedule. The importance of a well- rounded individual is emphasized. A D. O. student can also secure sufficient credits for college entrance. Only one hour of ocational Classwork is required each day, or five hours per week, with no outside assignments other than three hours of work per day on the job. Two credits are given for one year’s work, or a total of four credits for two years, ’bwo academic subjects arc carried in addition to the one hour of related vocational work.

' I ' lic Latin Club was established this year on the basis of the Roman system of government, ' l ire advaneed seeond year students are ealled the nobles, while those of the first year elass are ealled plebians. All Latin students are eligible for membership in the elnb so long as they pay their dues and attend elub meetings. Last fall the nobles visited the Latin depart- ment of Dobyns-Bennett High Sehool in Kings- port. They have many interesting projeets to make learning Latin and Roman eustoms easier. The objective of the club is to acquaint the student with the civilization of the Romans— their life, language, literature, customs, and his- tory. By this acquaintance the student is able to develop an appreciation for the classics and to enrich his cultural background.

The outcome was never in doubt after tire first few events, and tire Orange and Black swept practically every event in the meet for their ictory margin. In the I ' Jistrict dl meet, held on the Emory Henry track, hrginia High completely domi- nated the scoring to win the District champion- ship for the third year in succession, ' the Bearcats “ran away” with ten first places as Bobby Jordan and John Wright captured nine points each to tie for individuat honors? There was no meet held with the Tennessee High Vikings because of a misunderstanding on the schedule. In the Virginia State d ' rack Meet, hrginia High scored only three points, as Bobby Jordan captured second place in the broad jump and the Bearcat 880-yard relay team finished fifth.

Page I 1 0 THERE IS A FUTURE IN TEXTILES MANUPACTUPIMG • DESIGN l( )G,fti,e ' E LOP MET MT • RESEADCM • MERCUAMOISIMG • TASW IOI ) The world’s oldest nianufacturing industry — textiles — is today one of our most exciting and challenging industries, producing revolutionary textile products with qualities which men have sought for centuries. Man- made fibers, new products of the chemist’s test-tube, have been a major contributor to this textile progress. A small textile producer in 1923, Burlington Mills believed in the future of rayon — an early man-made fiber. In the pa.st 28 years Burlington has become a leader in the development and production of beautiful, durable and high-quality filament, spun and knit synthetic fabrics. From one plant with approximately 200 employees, our Company has grown to include 73 manufacturing plants in 43 communities of eight states and four foreign countries. Employing 34 000 people, Burlington is today the world’s largest producer of synthetic fabrics, and it is a recognized leader in the designing, development, research, merchandising and fashion fields as well as manu- facturing. If you are a young man or woman looking for a place in industry, we think you should consider textiles — and Burlington. It can hold a bright future for the person with the willingness to learn, ability to work, and the natural interest in this fascinating and competitive field.
