The Arrow VOLUME XIV PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF CAPE CHARLES HIGH SCHOOL CAPE CHARLES VA. The Arrow Returns . . . We, the seniors of C. C. H. S., are happy to present the fourteenth edition of the Arrow. Since the first publication of the Arrow in 1919, twelve consecutive volumes have been published. The thirteenth volume was a scrap¬ book presented to the high school library by the seniors of the classes of 1933 and 1934. It is the sincere wish that the Arrow has returned to stay many more years. This book, it is hoped, will be a pleasant reminder of the school days spent here. The Class of 1946-1947 DEDICATION To one whose loving devotion, kindliness, wise counsel, and unselfishness have helped us, the Senior Class, on the road to a higher and better life; to one whose loyal friendship will always be remembered; to MRS. LENNA W. AMES this fourteenth volume of the Arrow is lovingly dedicated. 3n Hemonam To the Memory of MARGARET ELIZABETH TRAVIS our beloved classmate, who died July 12, nine¬ teen hundred and forty-one, this page is lovingly dedicated. Although Margaret is in reality no longer with us, we shall always remember her for her sweet and beautiful character. Her life was gentle; and the elements so mixed in her, that Nature might stand up and say to all the world. This was an angel ' . MR. AUBREY V. FLOWERS A.B.

MOTTO Nihil Sine Lahore” COLORS Scarlet and White FLOWER Rose OUR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1936, a group of twenty-nine bewildered little tots wandered down the street toward school—many of them led along by their Mamas. Yes, it was their first day at school, and, as was usual, they were met by Miss Scott. During that year the cloak room became quite popular, as did Miss Parson’s ruler in the second grade. Of course the next year we visited with Miss Latimer, and since we thoroughly enjoyed that year, it was decided that she would be our fourth grade teacher also. From Miss Latimer, we went to Miss Kellam : Oh, let me see; that was the grade in which all those little cooking experiences occurred: salt for sugar and baking powder for— oh well, it was a good year. Likewise the next two years were good years. They passed without any special event under the leadership of Miss Trimble and Miss Waddell. When we entered high school in 1943, we discovered that though some had joined our ranks, and others had departed, our class numbered a good thirty-two. Our first year in high school was new and exciting. There we were, thirty-two newly born rats, very meek and gentle, but raring to go. After meeting the faculty, we began our year ' s work under the leadership of our home room teacher, Miss Porterfield. In the different rooms we studied various subjects, but the most memorable was “that algebra,” Our motto became “Study hard, lest we forget.” Though we studied faithfully, we had our fun too. The highlight of the year was the Freshman-Sophomore Picnic, which took place at the Little Sand Hills. We had an exciting Freshman year, but it was a thrill to become those “Sophisticated Sophomores ’ Under the leadership of Miss Thorington, we took life as it came. In March we joined the school in an operetta. Weren’t we proud though? Of course the other grades were in it too, but would they have succeeded without us? We doubt it! After the excite¬ ment of the operetta passed, we calmly bade the school farewell for the summer. Back we came in September, 1945, with the resolution to work still harder in our junior year. Under the guidance of Mrs. Smith, we were known as “those junior boys and girls.” Although each day held some interesting incident, the most important happening of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. It was a most memorable occasion, because the Seniors of 5 46 gave to the Juniors of ’46 their title as “Dignified Seniors.” Following gradua¬ tion exercises, the seniors and juniors enjoyed an evening of dancing, which ended our third year of high school. Yes, last year we were juniors. We found that we could enjoy ourselves by taking life as it came. Now we are “Dignified Seniors,” and this is our last year here at old Cape Charles High. With Miss Spady as sponsor, and home room teacher, we began the year’s work by organizing the class. Now with that long looked for day near at hand, we are happy, yet sad. Graduation means that we have accomplished one of the greatest goals in our lives. It also means that some of us will be leaving home, perhaps for the first time. Glancing back we see that the Class of ’47 has eight original members, those being Ren Harrington, Frank Lynch, Joanne Mills, Tommy Savage, Barbara Spencer, Mary Ellen Spencer, Doris Stiles, and Frances White, To these and others, may you be forward ever, backward never, yet there is “Nihil Sine Lahore” (nothing without labor). —Mary Ellen Spencer ' 47 PROPHECY Twas midnight, and Cuija and we had just talked Of the fast fading years, of the paths we had walked; Rut the past grew too dim, as our pasts always do, 11 Oh, Guija,” we cried, “bring the future to view ’ She paused, Ouija did, then began to unfold All the glorious things that the future will hold, And the things that this Ouija did give us to hear, But well let her show you, as she showed us so clear: Old C. C H. S. still stands quite sedate; Bobby Gibbs collects interest at a low rate, A well-known dentist is I. Yank ' em Ames; Smith as a flyer is fast gaining fame. Joanne, a proud lady, is very refined; Calvin still possesses that stubborn mind. With the ladies “Wink” Long is making a hit;; And little ole Phyllis is growing a bit. Frank Lynch, the salesman, sells fresh pop corn; Carrol, the musician, gains fame with his horn. 1 1 a rba ra S p en c e r, a n a ct re ss h as mad e ; As a news-commentator Bill Wall holds the grade.

You ' ll see!” M.N.

SMITH, Sponsor MEMORIES OF THE JUNIOR CLASS Ten long years ago on a bright sunny day in September, we bashful little boys and girls were coaxed into Miss Rebecca Scott ' s room to begin our school career. Year by year, step by step, we slowly climbed the ladder of higher learning. Sometimes the going was hard, but we kept climbing until in the seventh grade the first signs of growing up appeared when we elected the class officers. We bad our own honor system and our own annual. 11 ow i m po rt ant w e fie It the next yea r! At 1 as t w e w e rc F re sh men, U n d e r the leadership of Mrs. Ruth Wilkins, we became active in school activities and at the end of the school year we gave a party for the Sophomores which was a great success. Electing honor council representatives was something new to us, but we chose wisely when we elected Billy Powell and Julia Scott. Our class officers were president, Jack Gladstone; vice president, Billy Powell; secretary, Clement Bounds; 1 ra s u re r, Ha rry Fred B en d c r. We conquered the hardships of a Freshman and climbed another rung m the ladder. We became Sophomores with Miss Sara Savage and later Mr. John Neal Waddell as our home room teachers. That year we elected our class of¬ ficers early, Andy Dickinson, president; Edward Bender, vice president; Mar¬ garet Ann Neville, secretary; Garland Brown, treasurer. Our honor council representatives were Sally Vaughn George and Andy Dickinson. At the end of that school year we did not have a party because of rationing and the shortage of food, but we still had fun and soon we reached the time to ascend still higher on the ladder of knowledge. On September 11, 1946 we became upper classmen in Mrs. Smith ' s room. At last we were really Juniors! How important we felt! Many of the same old crowd were still together, playing in playtime, working in worktime, but together. Our class officers this year are president, Jack Gladstone; vice president, Rosa M a e Sava ge ; s e c re t a ry, J oy c e Ru d y; t rea s u re r. S a 1 ly Va ug h n Geo r ge. M a r ga r e t Anne Neville and Jack Gladstone are our honor council representatives. We, as Juniors, are very active in school activities, AH of the school clubs have some Juniors in them. What would the football team have been without Jack Gladstone, Andy Dickinson, Paul Brownley, and Garland Brown? Two of the cheer leaders, Anne Colonna and Jean Rittenhouse, came from our class also. We are indeed important, for bad it not been for Andy, even Santa Claus would not have visited our school! Right now we are thinking of that day in June when well show the Seniors the time of their lives. After that, all of us will be looking forward to next year when we’ll show this year ' s Seniors that they are not the only “Its”—the time when we’ll assume the looks and manners of a dignified Senior ! We are sitting on top of the ' world But studying hard, Yes, studying hard. We’ll soon be Seniors, you bet, And nearing the end, Yes, nearing the end. We have always longed for the time to arrive When we ' ll all be Seniors and swelled with pride. THE JUNIORS FROM A TO Z A—is for ambition—who has a lot ? Rosa Mae and Julia are full of it, right to the top. B—is for bashful, Barbara ' s that wav, But she gets away from it more each day. C—is for candy which Sally V. loves, Oh!

I recall how in 1945, we, the class of ’49” entered high school as freshmen Our class was divided into two groups: one group, sponsored by Mrs. Lenna K, Ames, was composed of all freshmen taking the college prepara¬ tory course; and the other group, taking the general and commercial courses, was sponsored by Miss Patricia Ames Our school spirit was soon aroused and two groups held their first class meeting at which the following officers were elected: President, Tommy Kellam ; Vice President, Harry Fred Bender; Secretary, Sallie Eubank; Treasurer, Thurley Travis. Our class felt honored to have the privilege of signing the honor code for the first time, with Tommy Kellam and Thurlcy Travis as our Honor Council Repres¬ entatives, On St Valentines Day the freshmen taking the general course gave a taffy- pull with the other class members as guests In September, 1946, we returned, not as freshmen, but as proud sophomores. It was hard to become adjusted after the vacation, but we finally settled down to hard work. We were sorry to lose one of our members, Marjorie Maustellar, who has been with us for two years, but we gained a member from Onancock, Carl Harmon, A class meeting was held and the following officers were elected: President, Anne Lambertson; Vice-President, Tommy Kellam; Secretary, Clement Bounds; I reasurer, Thurley Travis. The Honor Council Representatives this year are Clement Bounds and Anne Lambertson, The first of the year we had as our home-room teacher Mr. Edward Scott, and upon his resignation in December we were fortunate to obtain Mr. Grey Rromleigh. Many of our boys were outstanding in football, and in the game against Bioxony Melvin Bilich made a touchdown and Herman Etz scored a point. Two of the five cheer leaders of our school were from the Sophomore Class (Marjorie Cal 11 s and Mary Catherine Ames.) Members of our class were also in the Home Economics Club, the Glee Club, the Boys Scouts and the Girls Scouts. We are eagerly looking forward to our Junior year of school.

How do you think we look? We are glad the high school boys and girls want us in their annual. It was fun having our pictures made for it. On September 11, twenty-eight of us started to school for the first time. It was quite an event in our lives. We liked it very much, and have been having lots of fun. We think we are learning, too. SECOND GRADE: We of the second grade are thirty-two in number, six having come in from other schools this year. We welcome these to our ranks and always try to make them feel at home in our school. In our work and in our play we are learning to be fair, honest and unselfish. We hope many new pupils will be added to our group each year and that we will all graduate from Cape Charles High School in 1956. THIRD AND FOURTH GRADE: Although 1946-47 has been a hard year on all of us, we have worked together, played together and had a jolly good time together. May our class spirit ah ways be ' Together.” We had a party in our room at Christmas and exchanged gifts. Then in January our teacher took us on a bus trip to the beach to see a big whale that had floated ashore. We were glad to see it as we had been studying about the Far North. All in all we can say that we have enjoyed the year together, FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE: There are thirty in our class and since our room is small it really is full. We have two new classmates, one from Delaware and one from Indiana, We took part in the Christmas play for the Community League and the school. (We were the angels!) We had a party in our room too, and every¬ one had a gift. On February 14. the postman brought us lots of Valentines. After we read them, we had drinks and cookies. SIXTH GRADE: We, the sixth grade, are proud of our “Golden Deed Club ” which meets every Friday afternoon in our room. Our motto is “One Good Deed a Day.” Dues are five cents weekly and we have a program each Friday. Officers of our club are : President, Amos Dickenson ; Vice President, Duke fohnsen ; Secretary, Anne Webster; Treasurer, Jessie Scott; Chairman, Ai¬ ken Parks. SEVENTH GRADE: This has been a happy year for the seventh grade. We have our own class organization, an honor council, and a magazine. We feel that we are really growing up. Our class officers are: President, Regis Etz; Secretary, Betty Nottingham; Treasurer, Billy Bowden, Honor Council Officers : Gray Browleigh Betty J. Hooper, Lloyd Kellam, Gorden Thernes.

Many of ihem have already reached the top and are successful business men and women. Others are studying in colleges, and some day they too will fake their places in the world Let ' s look back and see what a few of our former students are doing today; Jane Dickenson is studying to be a chemist in Randolph Macon Woman ' s College. Soon we will read the sign: “Savage and Savage ' s Drug Store, since George is studying pharmacy in Richmond Medical College. Barbara Aim Thomas will probably be assistant Editor-in-chief of the Times” when she gets through studying journalism at Mary Washington College. Nora Lee Hamilton is about through her training at Elizabeth Buxton Hospital Sbc has been very successful so far in her work. If you ever need a good lawyer, we suggest Mr. Sidney Barham He is now practicing law in Baltimore. Marshield Hunt is head of the Boy Scouts in town and is Steward on the “Elisha Lee. Norman Merrit has just recently been promoted to Second Lieutenant, He is now stationed in Hawaii, Billy Carrow is practing law in town and has recently been elected to the town school board. We hope to be wearing clothes designed by Anna Scott as soon as she finishes in Queens College in North Carolina. If your feet ache after a day ' s shopping in Norfolk, just see Doctor Robert Reynolds who is a Chiropodist. Willis Parsons Is now President of R. A. Parsons Company. Doctor Kennon Hancock is working with the Public Health Service in Georgia, We are sure that Pickard Burgh will be a successful engineer if lie keeps up his good work at the University of Virginia. Ann Orton has just recently finished her training in Nassawado.x I lospital 1 f you want a good nurse, just call on Miss Orton. A number of our graduates are employed by the great Du Pont Company: Frances Parsons is a chemist in Richmond, Virginia. Tom Nottingham, Jr. is an electrical engineer in New Burn, New York. Leonard Richardson is head of a sulfur color laboratory for Du Pour in Deep Water, New Jersey. Billy Scott is a chemist in Wilmington, Delaware. Eugene Tyndell served in the Infantry and is now a chemist in Baltimore. He is mar¬ ried to Dot Taylor. (Miss Richmond of ' 45), If you happen to be in Baltimore and your teeth start aching, just go to see Mervyu Kell am. They say he is a splendid dentist. Stationed in Texas is a Colonel in the Army Air Corps. Yes, it is George Mason Adkins, We are very proud of our contribution to the ministry ; In Radford, Virginia, we find Bill Kissinger serving in the Baptist church, while in the same denomination in Richmond, Virginia, Junius Foster is working, C. Warner Crumb is a busy Methodist pastor at Bassett, Virginia. John Neal Waddell is getting his degree in Library Science at Columbia University. Navilla Mae Dix served in the Army as a nurse and is now happily married. Philip De Haven is a chemist in Norfolk Navy Yard, He married Harriet Nyc, and they have a daughter. A doctor ' s degree in chemical research at the University of Virginia is Pete Smith ' s goal. He received the Du Pont Fellowship Scholarship, which was quite a distinguished honor. We are proud of these young men and women who have gone out into lire world and become successful. May those who have been successful, be ever climbing upward, and may those who are still in college be as successful in their life ' s work as those who have obtained recognition. To them we extend our wishes for a successful future. A REVIEW OF OUR SCHOOL ' S PAST To note progress and to have a higher appreciation of present day advantages, it is well to look backward and review the history of our school. Due to lack of records much may be omitted, as well as the names of many who have given valuable service. The fol¬ lowing information was obtained front the 1926 Arrow and from a copy of The High School News published by the students of Cape Charles High School on March 16, 1920. These articles were written under the supervision of the late Miss Sara Doughty, who was quite familiar with ihe history of our school and are considered au then lie The first school sessions were held in the fall of 1885, in the Methodist Church, which was situated on the southwest corner of Monroe Avenue and Plum Street. This building was afterward sold to the colored people and finally moved to Jefferson Avenue where it stands today. Jn the fall of 1886, we had our first town school, which was a one-room building about twenty by thirty feet. It was situated on Tazewell Avenue near Fig Street. This building is still in existence in the colored section. It is changed in appearance as it has a front porch and a kitchen added. Miss Kmma Fitchctt was the first teacher, followed by Miss Doll it Whittington. Here the teacher had a blackboard, a table and a chair. She was enabled to keep her eyes on the mischievious ones in the corners as she was enthroned on a platform. The pupils ' desks and seats were homemade, very crude, seating four or five at each long desk. There were some fortunate ones whose parents objected to having them crowded and, at their expense, provided .separate desks and chairs for their children. W hen the enrollment reached seventy, the little children were seated around the platform. Although they had no back support, it was better than those high breaking benches. The age of the pupils ranged from beginners to those of fourteen or fifteen years, and there was hut one teacher lor all these pupils. At first the boys had to make the fires and the girls had to clean up; later a janitor was secured. J he fall of 1894 saw a change, a wonderful stride forward. This move was a two-story building on the comer of Monroe Avenue with two rooms and a cloak room for each In 1898. two rooms were added on the west side of this building. These four rooms took care ol the pupils lor a lew years. In 19U8, a frame building was added and in 1910, another room was added to this Frame portion. It was about ibis same time that extra rooms were secured down town to take care of tire overflow. ith the steady growth of the town it was seen that much larger quarters would soon he needed, so two more years closed the history for this building as a residence Miss Orclia Williams was the first principal, followed by Mr. W. H. [ones, Mr. R. IX White Mr Nock (two months of Mr. White’s term) Mr. Folk, Mr. Lake, Mr. Dickinson, Mr Henderson Mr. Gillespie, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Stone, Mr. Illoxton, Mr. Gentry, Mr. Clark, and Mr. Ryan, who served at the next school also. „ . Gn March 29th. I9l2 t the school moved into its present home of brick and stucco. Originally this building had eight rooms and an auditorium. In 1918, new rooms were added to take care of the ever-increasing enrollment. Our building then consisted of twelve rooms and a facility of fourteen teachers. These rooms were class-rooms, a good library a chemical laboratory, and an auditorium seating four hundred persons. The principals from the beginning of this school to the present follow in order: Mr, Ryan, Mr Gulich Dr Fred f Alexander, Dr. D. W. Peters, Mr. A. S. DeHaven, -Mr. P. H, Warren, Mr. E. C Grimmer ' Mr. w, F. Lawson, and Mr. A. V. Flowers. In 1914, Cape Charles High School was accredited by the Virginia State Department of Education and m 1927, we became a member of the Southern Association of Secondary .-schools, froth of these high ratings we have held continuously ever since. This short history would not be complete without the names of Miss Sara Doughty and Aliss Rebecca Scott, teachers may come and teachers may go, but Miss Sara remained with us and he ped us in every way possible worn 1K99 until her death in 1936. The results of her good work still may he seen in this school. Miss Scott has been the guardian angel of the six year olds since 1913.

The first meeting was held on June 6, 1945 at Trinity Methodist Church with Mrs, S. K. Ames as leader and Mrs. L. K. Jones as assistant leader. The first troop consisted of twenty three girls and at the present time the membership is twenty nine. During 1945 and the year to follow the Scouts took part in many activities and some of them had their first camp experience. Mrs. S. K. Ames gave up her job as scout leader in the latter part of 1946, and Mrs. L. K. Jones assumed the responsibility with Mrs. W. P . Grotton as assistant leader. With their new leader the Girl Scouts have begun definite work on their ranks and badges, and they hope to continue, and improve their Scout work. ........

Sometimes it is the nature of a craft to create an unbreakable tie between itself and the worker in that field, a heart attachment equal to lifetime devotion. One familiar example is PRINTING. Once editor, once compositor, or press¬ man catches the spirit of the shop, the spell is seldom broken. Like the odor of s camp fire, or a whiff of salt air, the beloved tang of printer’s ink, symbolic cal of a great profession, gets into your heart and soul. School Annuals, Magazines, Newspapers and Special Printing, all smack of it. It is an invisible link that binds all intelligence together. It is the stimulus for creation in business or romance. This craftsmanship, this devotion to service and alert¬ ness to business needs, has nourished and developed an enormous industrial vitality, and whichever way the course of the future runs, the printer will always find himself able to adapt his helpfulness to new opportunity. Years of experience have taught us! Printing Pays Us Only When It Pays You!
