Boydton High School - Beacon Yearbook (Boydton, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1952 volume:

Mr foreword ‘‘We live in a world which is full of misery and ignorance, and the plain duty of each and all of us is to try to make the little cor- ner he can influence somewhat less miserable and somewhat less ignorant than it was before he entered it. “Try to put well in practice what you already know; and in doing so, you will, in good time, discover the hidden things about which you now inquire. Practice what you know, and it will help to make clear what you do not know. ’’ “Do not be afraid of defeat. You will never be so near to vic- tory as when defeated in a good cause. “ It has been a privilege and a real inspiration, and has made me extremely proud - to have been your principal during the greater part of your school life. ' Dedieatiou It is with much pride that we dedicate the BEACON of 1952, to Mrs. Lorene Ward, our beloved home room teacher. Her never failing interest in us, her devotion to our guidance, and her very sweet manner have made for her a big place in each of our hearts.

Home Economics Coach Social Studies 1 f Dear Memories We Shall Always hold Jr. -Sr. Prom of 1951 At Maxey ’s Club 58 Class History When the Senior Class of 1952 entered high school in 1948, we were walking on clouds, We were the talk of the town! This was because we just couldn’t behave ourselves. One of our teachers said that we were as green as gourds, but now she knows we are as good as gold. There were twenty-six of us, sixteen girls and ten boys. During the first part of December, Mrs. Weisiger carried the class to Richmond. At Christmas we all enjoyed a party, sponsored by our class. At the end of school, we had a picnic at Mrs. Jones’ pond. On June 5th we bade each other adieu until the next September. In September of 1949, we entered the sophomore class with our heads high. There were only eighteen in the class now. Mrs. Darnell Long, Mrs. Lillian Pittard, and Mrs. Helen Allen had been replaced by Miss Lorene Claiborne, and Mr. Shelton Short, III. We had a New Year’s party in the school cafeteria. In January, we had a contest to choose the best-looking and prettiest girl. Frances Stone and Milton Anderson were the victors. The class enjoyed a trip to Williamsburg in April which Mrs. Weisiger chaperoned. We were all very sad at the end of this term when we left, but we were looking forward eagerly to the following sessions. As we entered our Junior year, there were only sixteen of us left. We had lost three of our classmates and gained one. Our teacher. Miss Claiborne, was now Mrs. Mackie Ward. Mrs. Jones and Mr. Short did not return for this session, but Mrs. Helen Gregory and Mr. Mark B. Glasscock, Jr. took their place. We were all looking forward to sponsoring the second annual Mecklenburg County Beauty Contest which was to take place in December. We all put forth every effort possible to gain sponsors and contestants. The Beauty Contest was held on Decem- ber 8, 1950, with a hundred contestants in which Juanita Dayberry of Chase City was our winner. In February we were overjoyed by the arrival of our class rings. With the money which we obtained in the Beauty Contest, we sponsored a trip to Washington for both Juniors and Seniors. Mr. and Mrs. Mackie Ward and Mr. and Mrs. Mark B. Glasscock, Jr. chaperoned this trip in April. This trip was of great educational value to us, but, of course, we are inclined to re- member the good times which we had with the ex-Seniors. On June 9, 1951, both Junior and Senior classes enjoyed a picnic at Staunton River State Park, We give this credit to our class, of course. As we enter our Senior year, we find that during the past summer, two of our classmates have left us to get married and two have dropped out. This leaves us a class of twelve. We have two new teachers, Mrs. Ruth Scott and Mr. Otis B. Crowder, Jr. , in the place of Mr. Glasscock and Mrs. Gregory. As we look into the future to the night of graduation, we anticipate the following events: the publication of the BEACON, a trip to the General Assembly in Rich- mond, the Senior Play, a Junior and Senior Prom, and the annual Junior and Senio trip. Will The Senior Class of 1952, being of sound and disposing mind, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. I, Linda Cottrell, will to Dorothy Strickler, my ability to look intelligent. I, Lillian Rhodes, will to Dorothy Allen, my slimness. To Mabel Bowers, I, Janet Crowder, will my ability to wear a dress sometimes. I, Betty Jane Puryear, will to Betty Cantrell, the ability to put on airs only at necessary times. I, W. T. Woody, Jr. , will to Grayson Gregory, my ability to pass more than one subject in my four years of high school. To Eula Grey Kindley, I, Frances, will my naturally curly hair. I, Dave Dunn, will to Leroy Icenhour , all my new excuses for being tardy. I, James Bing, will to Clinton Morgan, “old Number 12’’ and the school bus route. I, Juanita Phillips, will to Etta Mae Morgan my height and weight. I, Thelma Strickler , will to Shirley Gregory mymodestways and the ability to stay quiet some- times. I, Patricia Cantrell, will to Beth Kindley, my editorship of the annual with all of its worries and hardships. I Annie Lee Anderson, will my brain power to Gordon Perry. Class Prophecy In the year of 1962, here, I, Patricia Cantrell, am reviewing my diary which I kept on my tour of the United States with my Senior Class from Chase City High School, I teach Business Education here. I am fully satisfied with my teaching career, and I am still a “Miss ”, I know you are anxious to hear what news I have about my classmates written in this old diary of mine. My first destination was California, drawn there by the anxiety of my students. There I found my old friend, Lillian Rhodes, as a hair stylist for our top movie stars of Holly- wood. Moving farther South to Texas, I crossed an enormous cattle ranch. After inquiring about the ranch, I discovered that the owner was none other than our own Dave Dunn. In the bordering state of Louisiana on the delta, I found James Bing on his hundred acre sugar beet farm. After a conversation with James, I found he did have to go to college at St. Louis to learn about raising sugar beets. As I continued my tour farther north, I decided to stop by Detroit, Michigan to see a game of the World Series. Whom should I find as manager of the winning team, the De- troit Tigers, but our own W. T. Woody, Jr. Naturally these tourists could not leave out New York City. Searching through my mem- ory, I soon remember that Janet Crowder was in New York. Janet after having proved herself such an efficient secretary in Robbin ' s Mill in Clarksville, had been transferred to the head Robbin ’s office there. Janet seemed to like New York, but I couldn’t find out which was most attractive, her work or her men. From New York I traveled southward to Washington, D. C. At Walter Reed Hospital I found Linda Cottrell as head nurse on the second floor, which by the way is the “all men’s floor ’ ’. As I toured the town further, I found that Juanita Phillips was then employed as head librarian in the Congressional Library. Doing very well, I should say. My next stop was at Fort Knox, Kentucky, where I found our former Frances Stone, now a general’s wife. Frances was then an active Red Cross worker. As I was traveling through North Carolina, I stopped by Duke University. Not expect- ing to see anyone I knew, I was quite surprised to hear the loud speaker announce the play- ing of the chimes in the chapel by the great ‘‘Miss Betty Jane Puryear’’. She has come a long way in her music, hasn’t she? I found nearer home, our main ball player, Annie Lee Anderson, then head coach of basketball at Westhampton College i n Richmond, extension of University of Richmond. After a conversation with Annie Lee, I found that she shared a luxurious duplex apart- ment with Thelma Strickler. After taking a business and journalism course, Thelma had worked her way up from a small town secretary to the very distinguished and honored posi- tion of being the first woman editor of the Richmond Times Dispatch. So upon ending this tour, I found the Boydton Seniors of ’52 were the noted and success- ful celebrities, we expected them to be. Who’s Who iH the Senior Class MOST MUSICAL Betty J.

The Senior Class also expresses their appreciation to the many persons and firms who patronized this annual. ' V ! t -.1 . ■ . ' j ■■i ' A i ■i J i ' 4 | ' II a 4MI|Nlt jM� . ' .:. - ' .
