The gay times on our outings, ' fhe banquets every year, I he teachers, too, who worked with ns, ' I ' hey all now seem so dear. W ' c wish mneh Inek and joy, 7’o the dearest classmates ever know n We hope w ' c’vc been the senior class I’hat you’ve been proud to own. And as this year draws to a close Best friends must part at last. But well we know the future holds bond memories of the past. Cay 1L ki.o v, Class Poet Page 37 9 L u eay 6 As the Pilgrims in 1620 were awe-stricken when they landed on strange soil in the New Whrrld, so were we se cnth and eighth graders when we entered hrginia High in 1948-49. We, too, were afraid to cntnre ery far from our rooms, buf at last, the first proof of our courage was shown when we presented the seventh grade operetta. From then on we felt more secure and self-con- fident. W ith Miles Standish as their leader, the Pilgrims felt very secure, and so we, too, became more sure of ourselves when Jerry Kress was elected president of the Freshman class. Since this was our first year in high school we could begin to participate in clubs and sports and choose our own classes. As Sophomores wc really began to get into the swing of acti ities. Again Jerry Kress was chosen to lead the class as it ventured into new fields. The tesf of onr durability came in our Junior }’ear when wc were called upon to sponsor many outside activities. Whth the help of Duke Godsey, our president; Miss Anderson, our play director; Miss Porter and Miss McCoy, our class sponsors, the Junior Class successfully gave the comedy, “Jk-auty and the Beef,” presented the spring festival around the theme of an old south- ern plantation, and lastly honored the Seniors with the Jnnior-Senior banquet. After being at Virginia High for five years, we felt very proud and happy to be Seniors. Richard Luttrell was elected president of fhe Senior Class and Nancy Oakley was honored by being elected to the office of President of fhe S.C.A. Among the highlights of our last year were reeeiving our class rings, awaiting the time when we would gorern the town for a day, anti- cipating and preparing for fhe trip to Washing- ton, and finally, fhat day for which we had so long looked forward— graduaf ion. Although wc were happy to be graduates, there was sadness in our hearts, not only beeause we were leaving, but beeause this would be the last year any elass would graduate from “Dear Old Virginia High.” Mueh fo our delight a new school had been erected for the many eager future students. WV ha e studied and we have had our fun, buf now is the time for us to choose the road upon which wc must travel to discover unexplor- ed land, to conquer all its hidden treasures, and to dream dreams of fhe future, for if is only through dreams that reality comes.

The world’s oldest manufacturing industr) ' — 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 is today one of the world’s largest producers of synthetic fabrics, and is a recognized leader in the designing, development, research, merchandising and fashion fields as well as manufacturing. If you are a voung man or woman looking for a place in industry, we think you should consider textiles — and E-urlington. It can hold a bright future for the person with the willingness to learn, ability to work, and a natural interest in this iascinating and competitive field.
