Longfellow Ye whose hearts are fresh and simple, Who have faith in God and Nature, Who believe, that in all ages, Every human heart is human. That in even savage bosoms There are longings, yearnings, strivings For the good they comprehend Jiot, That the feeble hands and helpless. Groping blindly in the darkness. Touch God’s right hand in that darkness And are lifted up and strengthened; —■ lusten to this simple story, To this Song of Hiawatha!” Ten CLASSES MARGARET ANN NEVILLE President of Class Margaret Ann is one of the smartest, tallest, and giggliest girls of our class.

Thirteen HILDA JEAN RITTENHOUSE Secretary of Class Jean, who came to us from Onancock in the fifth grade, ideally seems like she has been with us all along. She made so many friends quickly. Boys and girls, alike, are very fond of her, and we wish her all the good luck and happiness in the world. GARLAND RUDOLPH BROWN Smack Garland (Smack) is our Latin and history master- mine. He knows all the dates in the history book, as well as his date book. But don t get the wrong idea; he’s no book worm. He played varsity guard on the football team and takes as avtice a part in school ac tivities as anyone. ROSA MAY SAVAGE ' Shark Rosa May, that cute wisp of blonde hair and bobby-socks, has for eleven years enlivened our school life with her wit and good nature.

RICHARD WILLIAM KELLY Richard was one of those who honored us by his presence only last year. Since then he has become the friend of everyone. When he ' s around, there is never a dull moment. His slow, ambling walk us¬ ually gets him where he wants to go but his most fi ' equent means of travel is his motorscooter. Of a l adjectives, about the best ones to describe Richard are carefree, good-natured and loud. RUTH LEE CROCKETT Cute? Yes. Intelligent? Yes. Dependable? Yes, If you want to see a girl who possesses all of these qualities, look at Ruth Lee. By being sincere and honest in all things, she has made many friends. We wish for her all the good things in life and all the success in the world. Seventeen DAUPHINE GAY PARKS Gay joined our class in the freshman year and since then she has won the admiration of all the students.

Miss Rebecca Scott, who was very nice, was our teacher, but we soon found out that she would not stand for any foolishness. Through the years, as all kids do, we had our different fads: the marble tournaments, jumper ope season, doll shows, snatch-the-whip, red rover, and roller skating. The class gave many plays and we had a knack for convinchig the teachers to let us have picnics, two or three times a year. Starting with the sixth grade, we had from four to seven teachers a year, due to marriage, sickness, moving to another town and having another job some where else. During the years our class grew with new students j oining us from everywhere. Garland Brown joined the group in the fourth grade, when he came from Norfolk, Virginia, Jean Rittenhouse came from Onancock, Virginia, and joined us in the fifth grade, Mary Ann Nelson arrived during the month of April from Seaford, Delaware, in time to finish the sixth grade. We were a proud group in September, 1944, when we became the Freshmen Class of Cape Charles High, In this grade our class was joined by Gay Parks, from Painter, Virginia, It had always been the custom for the Freshmen to give the Sopho¬ mores a picnic in the Spring, So as not to break this good tradition, (also to get out of school for a day), we gave the Sophomores a picnic. The two classes went over to the Little S and Hills, In March, 1945, several of us were picked to be in the operetta. Of course we were happy, because this lessened our regular school work. Under the direction of our principal, Mr, E, C, Grimmer, the operetta, ‘ Hats Off,” became a big success. Feeling a little sorry to leave the good guidance of Mrs. Ruth Wilkins, we left the Freshmen Glass to become the Sophomores of 45-’46, under the leadership of Miss Sara Savage and next Mr, Neal Waddell for home room teachers. This year Bedford Le Mears joined our class. This class always did have bad luck from the time of the first grade. So in the Sophomore Class we had some more bad luck. The tradition of the Freshmen-Sophomore picnic was not kept up, because of war conditions. In this class, as well as in the Freshmen Class, we were active in all school activities. When school ended in June, 1946, we all resolved to be the best junior Class Cape Charles High ever had, but when September ' 46 came, we could not resist kicking up a little noise now and then. In September of ' 46 Surry Bell joined our class from Eastville, Virginia, and Richard Kelly from Keller, Virginia, This year we were under the guidance of Mrs. Pearl Smith for home room teacher. Under her guidance we w ere able to give a lovely banquet for the Seniors, and graduation night we had a dance for them at Wilkins Beach. It turned out to be a most memorable occasion. In September, ' 47 w e entered C. C. H, C. for the last time with the title of “Dignified Seniors,” Mr, Tankard was our home room teacher and a very nice one, too. Jo Wheatly joined our class this year. She came from Deals Island, As all classes, we have had our ups and dowms, but as Seniors of ' 48 the class can think back over the years of many happy times we have had together. Next year there will be many of us going away to college and to jobs in other towns and cities. We are sad that the long awaited day will soon be here and we will no longer have a school I’oom to occupy in good old Cape Charles High, Twenty Two Chicago, Illinois April 18, 1963 Dear Margaret Tjillian, I was so happy to receive your letter last week, I would have written sooner, but my secretarial job keeps me pretty busy. Bet you’re happy at your airline hostess job. I’ll bet you can’t guess who I heard from yesterday: Rose May Savage or she was a Savage, but she married some boy from the University of North Carolina. She and her husband are practicing pharmacy at her dad’s old drug store. I just got “oodles” of neWvS Uom Cape Charles that she wrote me. Well, Jack Gladstone has just been married for the fourth time, just imagine! Richard Kelly is married, has eight children and owns a beauti¬ ful farm just outside of town. “Teeny” Ewell is now a housewife; her husband runs a restaurant. Guess who? Pdul Brownly has .fust been made captain of the new P. R. R. steamer—following in his dad’s footsteps. Barbara Kellam and Ruth Lee Crockett are married quite happily, I understand. Julia Scott just couldn’t stay away from old C. C. H. S. She’s back there teaching Latin and Home Ec. However, a lot of the old crowd had left home just as you and I. Burnice Ward is in the South Pacific on a cruiser. I always knew he ' d end up on the water someday. Incidently he’s a Lt., I believe. Joan Shaw is head nurse at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Margaret Ann Neville is there also as a laboratory technician. She always was a whiz at science. Joyce Rudy is in New York. She is married and she and her husband live in a fifth-avenue penthouse. I hear she’s making quite a name for herself in the art world. Two of her paintings were on exhibit in Chicago. I saw a shov in New York last fall and who should be the star tap dancer but Jean Rittenhouse. “Tiny” Means is in New York also, running her own beauty salon. Anne Colonna is thrilling the crowds with her figure skating at the ice follies. She has sure come a long way since the old days on Costin’s pond. If I remember correctly she was sitting down more than she was standing up. Anne’s old buddy, Sally .Vaughn George, is warbling at the “Met.” Everyone said her voice would get her somewhere. Garland Brown was operating a furniture store in Cape Charles, but there was a termite invasion and he lost everything. Now he’s reopened his business in Norfolk, Mary Ann Nelson and Edie Gene Fitzhugh are both in Hollywood, California. Mary Ann as private secretary to Louis B, Mayer and Edie Gene as a costume designer. Bedford Le Mears has ju.st published his third symphony. They’re calling him the American Chopin. Gay Parks married her old childhood sweetheart and she and he are running a chicken farm in Pennsylvania. Bobby Horner and Julius Wyatt are in business together in Florida. They’re opei ' ating a school for baseball pitchers. I hear they’ve turned out some fine material. When I was in Richmond last year, who should I meet but Andy Dickinson. Andy is a prominent lawyer and is running for State senator. Well, Margaret Lillian, there isn’t much else to say. I’m very happy, but sometimes I get pretty homesick. Take care of yourself and write to me again soon. Twenty Three LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the seniors of MS, being ' declared sane (under pressure) in nriind and body, do %vnte this last will and testament which concerns our most valuable possessions.

First of all, we want the Junior to have the keen sense of humor of our athletic friend, WARREN BENNETT. A true sense of honesty and good sportsmanship is a must. It could come from none other than BOBBY DISHAROON. Now, add the friendliness of SURRY BELL and the wonderful per¬ sonality of BETTY GAYLE REID. The ability to settle down and work earnestly is a most important quality Every junior longs for it, but not all are fortunate enough to develop it. BILLY POWELL has a generous portion of it, however, and he will be glad to make this contribution. We surely would not want our Junior to drive the teachers batty, so we shall stir in SONNY SPENCER’S most pleasing quality, his quiet manner. You ask, “What about the appearance of this Person?” Well, since a stature of some kind is necessary, we had better start there. Let’s use the very graceful figure of ANNE LAMBERTSON. Arms and legs? Yes, we need just the right curve to them, too, and you couldn’t supply nicer ones than those of our own PAGE MOORE. Now, what color hair shall our Junior have? Shall she be brunette, blond, redhead, or what have you? Well, we shall see. We simnly must have a well-shaped, becoming nose, so we shall call on CLEMENT BOUNDS for this. A neck? Well, LEE SPERLING has just the right one. Next come the little details. We must include the small, dainty ears of CATHERINE ADKINS and the bowshaped mouth of PEGGY JANE HARRISON. With the mouth should go those straight, shiny, white, pearl-like teeth belonging to TOMMY KELLAM. We are almost through—not much more now. Suppose right here we put in a beautiful complexion which makes one think of that skin you love to touch.” If MARJORIE CALLIS won ' t mind, we will borrow hers. Oh! No eyes! Well, there’s no doubt where to go for these. We’ll use those big, brown, innocent looking eyes (don’t let them fool you), flamed with long, dark, eyelashes. Whose? MARY CATHERINE AMES, you won’t mind .will you? Still wondering about the hair? 0. K. What would look better than a brown-eyed girl with ash-blond hair, which we shall borrow from THURLY TRAVIS. Since every junior class must have a sponsor, we have for ' 48 MISS FLORENCE SPADY and with her permission, we should like to use her brilliant mind and most pleasing voice. All right, folks, there is our Perfect Junior, completed. How does she look to you?

BILLY SHAW CHARLOTTE TYNDALL CHARLES WALTERS MRS. SMITH FACTS ARE STRANGER THAN FICTION The other day a group of us Sophomores decided to go into the library before going home from school. After having settled comfortably in the quiet, which always reigns in the library, we began to look around and see how many book titles reminded us of our classmates. No sir, you just wouldnT believe the satisfactory results we got from this little game! So, we ' re going to tell you. For instance: The Other Wise Man This couldn ' t be any other but Malcolm Grimmer. At school he ' s always very successful in anything he attempts, so let ' s hope he keeps up the good work. “The Age of Innocence” Tips book brought to mind Charles Powell with his youth and quiet manner. Could he really be as innocent as he seems? “Behave Yourself” We are sure that most of the teachers and pupils will agree with us when we make the statement that Billy Shaw should read this book. “The Story of a Bad Boy” And whom could this possibly remind one of but Jack Ward, the Sophomore Class nuisance. Even so, wouldn ' t we be lost without him ? “Here I Stay” This immediately reminded us of our dear friend Herman Etz, who seems to like the Sophomore Class very much. Could it be his love for Mrs. Smith or his lack of love for study? “The Valley of Silent Men” More people should follow the example that Charles Walters sets for them; to think more and say or act less. “Class for Action” These few words should be all that is necessary in the line of warning when you see a certain green Butck speeding down the road with Frank Scott behind the wheel. “Tomorrow is Forever” This title is always used by Allen Powell and Roland Lewis when asked for their homework. (They will hand it in tomorrow and tomorrow is forever.) “Enough of Dreams” Carl Harmon had better let the girls alone and get more sleep at night so he won ' t have to do so much day-dreaming and sleeping in class. “Human Comedy” This is a full description of Melvin Bilich, the Sophomore comedian and clown, who is a favorite of all; for wherever he goes, he carries fun with him. “Gone With the Wind” Elton Merritt is the only Sophomore this title could possibly fit, for usually when wanted by the teachers he is—just as the title suggests. “For Whom the Bell Tolls” Whom should we think of but Charlotte Tyndall w ho is so anxious to become a school teacher after graduating from college. We could not have found a better title had we looked all day. “The Trail of 98” Few people have done better than Betty Ann Nye who we hope will continue her good work throughout life. “Youth at the Wheel” This fits Sallie Ann Horner to perfection, who will soon be seen driving a green Plymouth up and down the road “if” she can pass the driver ' s test. “The Lively Lady” It couldn ' t possibly be anyone else but Joyce Moore who is always so bright, active, and cheerful. “Proud Lady” Wc just had to pick this title for Mary Sue Hudson who should certainly be proud to have such a nice “steady.” “The Land is Bright” Is seems that Patty Spencer has read this book, for wherever she is or whatever the circumstances, she is always cheerful and bright. “Spellbound” We wouldn ' t even consider this title for Dorothy Outten except that every day she comes into homeroom with that far-away look in her eyes. What could it possibly be ? “Long Remember” There couldn’t be a better friend and companion of the Sophomores than Mrs. Smith who has tried to guide us all in the right direction and whom we will all long remember.

BRIEFLY, Eight long years ago, on a bright and sunny day in September, a grouD of bewildered little tots wandered down the street toward the school. Many of them were led by their Mammas, It was their first day at school and, as usual, they were met by Miss Scott During that long but happy year, the cloak room became quite popular [n our third grade we all loved our teacher, Miss Parsons, so we kept her company many afternoons after school Then along came Miss Latim , the fourth grade teacher. That year we had a lot of fun, because we felt grown up and began to like school a little better The other years passed quickly until we reached the seventh grade, during which we had a girls ' and boys ' baseball team and also a picnic Then June came and we were ready for high school. It was in 1947 that the class of ' 51 entered high school and oh! how honored we felt to be really and truly high school members The school spirit was soon aroused and at an early date we elected our class officers They were as follows: President—Regis Etz, Vice President—Billy Bowden, Treasurer—Kay Mills, Secretary—Betty Not¬ tingham, and our Honor Council representatives were Kay Mills and Lloyd Kellam Although we did not have many social functions during the year, we did have fun at our Christmas party and even a better time at our Fresh¬ man-Sophomore picnic. We were well represented this year in J-V football and in both baseball and softball. As we bring this class history to a close, our only hope is that our next three years in high school will be as pleasant as our last has been Thirty Three STARS AROUND SCHOOL V’ L -4 ' ftffOW- yV ' £ . 5 V ' Cl ? h iLLr ' ' K CrO ' WHO ' S 0 r f ' T CBfHP f .. .flj cx ' ' FOOT Thirty Four CLUBS —.- - “In a circle round the doorway, With their pipes they sat in silence,” DRAMATIC CLUB First Row: Marg:arct Lillian Post, Gay Parks, Harry Kellam, Billy Bowden, Jack Ward, Catherine Adkins, Betty Reid, Charlotte Russell Tyndall Seco 7 id Row: Julia Scott, Anne Colonna, Barbara Kellam, Joyce Rudy, Margaret Ann Neville, Thurly Travis, Sally George, Edie Gene Fitzhugh Third Row: Mary Caroline Bundiek, Mary Catherine Ames, Ernestine Ewell, Betty Ann Nye, Dolores Wheatley, Shirley Melson, Joyce Moore, Mary Sue Hudson, Page Moore, Rosa May Savage, Jean Rittenhouse, Anne Lambertson, Peggy Jane Harrison, Marjorie Callis, Betty Nottingham, Sally Anne Horner, Caroline Norman, Ray Mills Foitrth Row: Miss Thorington, Jackie While, Patty Spencer, Dorothy Outten, Mary Esther Hears, Lee Sperling, Sonny Spencer, Bedford Le Mears, Albert Rayne, Joan Bennett, Nancy Nye, Miss Hale President _- Vice-President Secretary _ TreaBurer __ Sponsors _ ____ Margaret Ann Neville ___Joyce Rudy _Thurly Travis __Barbara Kellam Miss Hale, Miss Thorington The Dramatic Club is divided into committees of costuming, lighting, make-up, program, staging, and publicity Its members study and learn by performing duties on these committees.

M. C. A. and is a guide for high school boys- The purpose of this club is to create and maintain a higher standard of Christian character throughout the comm unity. It strives to assist any members who don’t have religious backgrounds. The Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs were host to the Hi-Y Conference last November and sent a delegate to Richmond as State Chaplain of the Senate at the Model General Assembly in April. A campaign against profanity was the main project of the club- This was a very difficult problem; however, it proved to be rather successful. The social activities were by no means neglected. A weiner roast was given for the boys and their guests by Mr, Tankard and a social meeting was held at the home of Tommy Kellam, the president. Though the club has done nothing outstanding, the boys hope that they have obtained something worthwhile from participation in its activities. Thirty Eigrht TRI-HI-Y CLUB Fh-st.

This year, as in previous years, the Tri-Hi-Y has done much for the school, com¬ munity and the betterment of its members. In November, a Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Dis¬ trict Conference was held in Cape Charles. The group attended the Thanksgiving Service, which is an annual custom of the club. At Christmas, baskets were carried to the aged and sick. Throughout the year the Tri-Hi-Y has sent cards to the sick members of the community. Along with all the work the girls have had a most enjoyable buffet supper . The Tri-Hi-Y members of 1948 hope that each girl, as she goes out into the world to meet greater responsibilities, will hold the Hi-Y torch high in all that she does.

It consists of only girls taking Home Economics, The giiJs chose a number of projects for their yearns work. The first one was a unit on the care of flowers. Each girl painted a can and planted her own flowers in it, after collecting the correct soil. The girls financed themselves by selling hot chocolate, candy, donuts, and hotdogs at the football games. Another project was a cake baking contest. The cakes were baked and graded by the girls and then sold at recess and lunch time. In regular class work the girls have turned shirt collars, darned socks, patched holes, etc. They made a study of the pres¬ ervation of foods, after which they canned various fruits and vegetables. After a study of meal planning and a unit of budgeting, a dinner %vas served. The last unit of work was on personal grooming, followed by making a garment as each chose. Forty Three CAMPAIGN HIGHLIGHTS Many different drives have been conducted throughout the school dur¬ ing this year. The students, both high school and grades, responded will¬ ingly to all the drives. A sizable sum of $486,70 was contributed unselfishly by the students for the purpose of helping people who were less fortiinate than themselves. SALVATION ARMY The students contributed $62.00 to this umselfish group of Christian people who are constantly going about helping others. The boys and girls felt it an honor to be a part of such a worthy organization. JUNIOR RED CROSS $41.00 was contributed in this drive for the purpose of helping those in distress. This organization gives young people a chance to do their bit as the Red Cross gives older people. Although Cape Charles has never had to call on the Red Cross for help, there is a satisfied feeling to know they are ready and willing to come should they ever be needed. HOSPITAL DRIVE For the purpose of supporting Northampton-Accomac Memorial PIos- pital, this drive was conducted. The total amount collected was $81.60. Every one is proud of our local hospital. Each must do his part to make it grow and become a more helpful place for the sick. MARCH OF DIMES This nation-wide drive was conducted throughout the school for the purpose of helping the crippled children of the country. This was the big¬ gest drive that the school put on with the total amount collected being $251.00. There are very few crippled children in this locality, but the boys and girls showed by their gifts that they were anxious to help other boys and girls walk. TUBERCULOSIS SEALS This drive was conducted outside the school by some of the Tri-Hi-Y members. School children contributed a total amount of $51.10 to this worthy cause. The students were happy to help stamp out this dreaded disease.
