As superintendent of the schools of your county, I wish to salute you for having reached another step in the “March of Time”, which is the threshold of a new life. You are looking out into a vast future filled with no end of opportunities. These opportunities are obscure to you as the door opens, but as sure as the sun shines they are there and they are yours for the seeking. Search hard with high ideals and true faith and your seeking will not be in vain. ROSCOE M. DOUB A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL. Through the spirit of co-operation, a sense of fair play, and the will to meet daily school problems the faculty and student body of Atlantic High School have worked toward a common goal; namely, better prepared students to meet the challenge of life not only on this campus, but also in the years to come. I sincerely hope that the students of this school will continue to- - “Give to the world the best that you have And the best will come back to you.” John C. Justis DEDICATION With the realization that we are still very young in heart and experience, we reverently dedicate this issue of “THE ATLANTIC BEACON’ ' to our parents for their never-ending and unselfish contribution in aiding us to obtain our education.

CLASS PROPHECY This is your roving reporter, Pat Killmon, bringing you the on-the-spot report of a sight seeing tour to Mars on a new rocket ship, “Cardinal Express”. This ship has been designed by the expert engineering of Christopher and Long, and is piloted by Captain Taylor and Co-Captain Rantz. Among the passengers are the famous soap¬ box opera singer .... Mary Ann Hall; world renown orator ....... Dempsey Bruton; chic fashion designer.Lou Lambden; and the scientist Jim Pronier. The trip is being made more pleasant by the gracious stewardess Betty Bloxom, and seemingly before the trip has begun we have landed on the planet Mars. We’re putting on our oxygen masks and leaving the ship very anxiously. The housing development on Mars is new, but it is growing very fast. As we walk down main street, we notice some of Mars’s most promising enterprises. . . . “Starlite Salon” run by Mmes. Broadwater and Byrd, “Adams’s Garage”, “Campbell’s Super Market”, “Lang’s Shave and Hair- Cut Shoppe” and a fashionable dress shop operated by those Bailey girls from Horntown. I see on a billboard where there’s a thrilling stock car race tonight starring women dri¬ vers-and who should be racing but my former classmates Sara Taylor and Vir¬ ginia Jordon. I always thought they had a knack for racing. Oh, where’s the crowd going? Let’s follow and see! Why here’s “Hurricane Britt”. She has just won another trophy for racing in her speedy boat “Our Baby III”. Her childhood training has paid off. It’s almost time to go back to the ship, but we would like to see more of Mars. As we turn down Heavenly Blv., we are almost knocked down by Vincent Mariner, whose wife has the rolling pin again. Around a meteor rock we see a large sign reading: See the planet Earth. . . . Wonderful Scenery .... Old Friends. Well, this certainly is a switch looking thru a telescope at Earth instead of all the stars. There is just enough time for a quick glimpse. I am paying my dollar, and quickly adjusting the telescope to my Old Aimer Mater A.H.S. I see many changes that have taken place in 10 years. Mrs. Justice is still teaching English, but I do see some new faces on the faculty. Mary Jane is Mr. Justis’s secretary. Wrendo Mears is teaching Agriculture and is turning out ace farmers. Carolyn Chesser is teaching Home Economics. ... no more burnt biscuits! The “Cardinals” are still the top football team, and they are being ably coached by Bob Sparrow. The “Little Cardinals”, too, are a championship team, and I suppose all the praise should be given to their coach, the old veteran, Frances Moore. The school looks spic and span due to the wonderful care given it by the janitor, “Rick” Coffin. As I admire the beautiful farmlands of the Shore, I can’t decide which is the better looking. . . . “Matthews Manor” or Bradley’s Pleniful Acres”. Saxis is still on the map! Billie Marshall and Shirley Bundick make pretty nurses, and the clinic they founded on the island has helped everyone. Charles makes his home at Saxis, but he isn’t there very often for he is busy traveling with the Ringling Bros. Circus. No time to see more, for it’s time to go back to ship. Now we’re on our way again. Look there is the Milky Way! Why, I do believe that’s Billie Miles .... and she is milking a cow. She and her husband George have an up-to-date dairy farm. I hear that Buddy Hodge delivers their milk daily to Mars. A nice set-up! Now we’ve arrived at the Washington Airport! It has been a wonderful trip, but now I have another problem. How can I cover two big news spots tonight, both happening at the same time? What are they? Why, the two top heavy-weight fighters of the century--“Powerhouse Shannon” versus “Mighty Mo Markland” are battling for the title tonight. Then out in Griffith Stadium, the Washington Redskins play the Pittsburgh Steelers. And who would want to miss seeing those razzle dazzle “touchdown twins”, “Big Bob” Miller and “Choo Choo” Justice play! Thus ends the trip thru space. It was nice seeing the class of ’55, wasn’t it? CLASS WILL We, the Seniors of Atlantic High School in the town of Oak Hall, the county of Accomack, the State of Virginia, having struggled through four hard years of high school and realizing that, as a result, we are weak of mind and body, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament.

The football experts rated the Atlantic Cardinals to finish fourth, but after the first three wins Atlantic proved to the people and to the experts that she had the spirit to go to the top. After bringing the powerful Onancock Blue Devils’ twenty-eight game win¬ ning streak to an end, the Cardinals were expected to be the champions of the Eastern Shore. Our hopes were just a little high as the red birds finished the 1954 season in second place, bringing to an end the best season since 1951. No one can forget the defensive line which consisted of Campbell, Markland, Mears, Wessells, Adams, Varner, Justice, Lang, Sparrow and Bruton. In the backfield were the four fastest backs on the shore--Justice, Miller, Shannon and O’Toole. The passing attack was rated to be the best ever known in this district. Miller, who was rated as the best passer to play on the Eastern Shore gridirons, whose favorite target was Campbell, passed Atlantic to many victories. The substitutes proved their worth to the team on many occasions, but most of all on the practice field. Without them there would never have been an eight game winning streak as was.

This is indeed true in respect to our team this year as Atlantic High School had three of the best coaches ever to send a team on the Atlantic gridiron. The backfield and offensive coaching spot was filled by Ed Carter, an alumnus and teammate of “Choo Choo” Justice of the University of North Carolina. Henry Jawish, an alumnus of St. Johns, and Jack Kerstetter of Pennsylvania were excellent defensive coaches. We shall never forget the inspiration of the coaches--the fighting line-- the speedy backs--and the aerial attack. Many thanks to our spectators. Without you there with your support, the wins would have been few and the losses many.

The season had its bright spots, three victories out of six games, two of which were no hitters pitched by J. W. Tapman, the other a one hitter by Carlton Justice. The Cardinals’ greatest asset was the pitching staff while they were handi¬ capped by being unable to hit in the clutch. The Cards possessed one of the best defensive teams on the shore. The infield consisted of Franklyn Onley on the “hot corner”. Captain Bob Miller at shortstop, Francis Campbell at keystone sack, Frank Shannon handling the first base chores and Wrendo Mears behind the plate. The outfield consisted of Jimmy O’Toole, Marvin Justice, Pat Bradley, Kenny Adams, and Pat Lang. The Spring of 1955 should prove interesting to the Cards’ fans since the starting nine return with the benefit of a year’s experience. This could prove troublesome for the other shore teams, including the present champion Parksley Eagles. We hope! We hope! MEMBERS J. W. Tapman Bobby Sparrow Franklyn Onley Jimmy O’Toole Bob Wessells Pat Lang Bob Miller Pat Bradley Gerald Varner Carlton Justice Francis Campbell Marvin Justice Ed Tom Hickman Frankie Shannon BASKETBALL The season of 1954 proved to be a short and victorious one for Atlantic. Few started practice due to the fact that we did not have a coach. Since Mr. Justis, our principal, was unable to secure a coach for us, he had to take over the coaching duties himself. After many pep t alks from the coach and captain, the Atlantic team pushed aside fears and went out on the courts to win all of their games. This made them undefeated for two years. The veteran forwards Lambden and Brittingham played a brilliant brand of ball. As usual Lambden covered the playing court always a few steps ahead of her opponent, constantly sending the ball to Brittingham who made the shots from about any position on the court. These two forwards were ably assisted during the season by two newcomers-Trader and Mears, who easily demonstrated their ability in all phases of play that their position required. In head guard position we have two veterans, who have seen two years of ex¬ perience -Bundick and Moore. The third veteran Killmon proved that she was no novice at the game. These guards demonstrated clearly that as a team they had no superiors on the Eastern Shore of Virgi nia. They established for themselves a record in one of the league games by not allowing a single field goal to be made. They were ably assisted in some games by Elliott and Mears. Students, faculty, and friends are very proud of the excellent record of the Atlantic Cardinal basketball team.

With Mr. Water fie Id as our coach and co-captains Betty Jean Mills and Shirley Bundick, we had high hopes. After winning five straight games, we played Central for the championship. This game ended in a loss which meant the loss of the championship.

The boys were able to win six while dropping four, two of which were lost by one point. A six and four record isn’t to be considered bad when the team had no gym to practice in. One of the highlights of the year was the high scoring of Campbell. He holds the record for the most points scored in one game for an Atlantic player with twenty-six. The teamwork of Miller, Campbell, O’Toole, Bradley, Mears. Shannon, Cates, and Bruton plus the excellent coaching of Walt Wimberly made last year a suc¬ cessful one.

The team was led by Carlton Justice, Jimmy O’Toole, and Albert Miles, who, along with the rest of the team made a spectacular showing. Jimmy O’Toole set a new track record in the junior events of 23.2, 220 yard dash and Carlton Justice set a new track record in the senior events of 21 seconds, 220 yard dash. In the one mile relay the CARDINALS placed No. 2, the team made up of Justice, O’Toole, Watkinson, and Miller. The Charlottesville meet, where Carlton Justice brought back great honors for Atlantic, placing No. 3 in the 100 yard dash, placing No. 1 in the 220 yard dash, caused Atlantic High to look with pride upon her star runner. Once again Carlton Justice brought honor to Atlantic High School by winning in the 220 yard dash in Salisbury, Maryland. MEMBERS Carlton Justice Bob Miller P. D.
