We must train ourselves to attend to the care of our physical growth so that we may have strong and healthy bodies to fulfill our work in the world. Good health is necessary at our age so that we may continue to live our lives in the future with a strong body. Health is of vital impor- tance to the development of our character and personality. We must grow strong to withstand the trying physical strain that is becoming more evident in our fast pace of life. ':'il1f Tf? ' . BNL, , row ocica K6 The Scriptures tell us that it is not good that man should be alone. Human nature requires that one should have companionship. Through our social activities We overcome our tinges of shyness and self-consciousness. Each, realizing that he is only one member in a large world, endeavors to make his relationships with others more pleasant and long' lasting.

There is much evil in the World waiting and tempting young minds and bodies. Yet in a time of strife there is a bulwark to which We can turn and reaffirm our faith in man and his World. Our religious heritage and spiritual faith steady us in an unbal- anced World. Our faith gives us the vision and hope that show us the path in which to direct our thinking and our work. ixg-ff s gpygm . -fire . II -5 . - 3, ...li-'.'-'--Sf. .- V-wi-V4f'f',--fha .

' b Z A tl ln a firm, yet comforting manner, Mr. E. C. Richardson, chief administrative official, offers his counsel to disturbed parents, teachers and to his 1,441 students. Many are the duties that are his to perform. Aside from offering his advice, Mr. Prich- ardson defines and executes the policies set forth by the Board of Education. Well-known for his readiness to hear school- improvement suggestions and respected for his impartiality, Mr. Richardson is the students' trusted friend. f Wgdddgg POWL lf'. MCAQPLON . . . The six million students enrolled today in high schools throughout the nation definitely prove that the school is a valuable instrument in molding character and fulfilling a pur- pose in the American way of life. Not only must the student be offered practical knowledge, but also he must be guided through his stages of growth. Teachers, principals, superintendents, board mem- bers, parents, and the general public influence the student's growth. lf the young adult is to become a valuable citizen to his school and community, it is important that he be given the advice he requires. The value of a high school education depends upon the young adult's ability to control his feelings and to use intelligence in making decisions. If this has not been ac- complished, the school has not fulfilled its purpose. While in school the student should be accumulating a vast store of wisdom and experience from which he may draw to meet future demands. lt is at this time in life that he is showing visible signs of maturing physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually.

Our Student Council is composed of the elected representatives of the Student Body. This year, un- der the leadership of Jim Barton, the Council com- pleted many worth-while projects which benefited both the school and the' community. Chief among these were the Green Cross safety drive, Drivers' safety movement, Student of the Week contests, publication of the student directory, and sponsor- ship of the annual Follies. The student Council is always receptive to re- quests and suggestions for improvements of our system of government. To learn new methods of government, representatives have attended many state and national student council conventions. They have, also, participated in the activities of the Student Co-Government of Kanawha County. Miss Alta Shoen, sponsor of the Council, puts in many hours of work on the Council. Because of her years of experience, she is very valuable as an ad- visor and consultant.

An amazingly small group of individ- uals manage the advertising, photography, art work, copy writing, layout, and editing for the yearbook. Hours of study are required before actual production can begin. Every worker must have complete knowl- edge of his duties before he can perform them to the best of his ability. Several members attend conven- tions and workshops to learn modern methods of year- book composition. After many months of hard work, the book reaches its culmination and proudly the Charlestonian is pre- sented to the student body. All eyes are turned toward Tom as he speaks with his editorial staff, including, from left to right, Ann Clancy, T Sally Griffith, and Leonard Tracy.

The word itself conveys a special and exciting meaning. Where else could one find a more carefree atmosphere and more colorful living? The French Club members, hopeful of visiting this distant land, learn of its cultural background from guest speakers, slides, postcards, exhibits, and pen pals in France. They loudly proclaim their ad- miration of all things pertaining to France during French Week, which is climaxed by a special assem- bly.

Bond Represents the Gold and Blue at Its Best Deserving special recognition is our Mt. Lion Bar-id, one representation of Charleston High at its best. The many honors conferred upon our Band this past year for precision marching, spirited music, and clever routines only prompt the group to strive harder for absolute perfection. Ours is a two-unit ensemble, a rare type of organization among high school bands. The first unit consists of seventy-five boys, in front of whom march ten pretty majorettes, and the second is composed ot forty-five girls. After many hours of learning new routines and drills, the Band gave splendid performances. It added fun to the pep assemblies, excitement to down-town Charleston when on parade, and color and spirit to the ball games. We are proud to have had our Band represent the Gold and Blue. 106 lyw The pretty high stepping majorettes who lead the Band are, left to right: Harriet Smith, Dolores Cooper, Jackie Friend, Carolyn Lawson, Sue Hancock Sherry Rentz, Lynn Holsclaw, Cynthia Daley, Ginny Lou Carter.

One of our cherished freedoms, that of speech, is exercised at each semi-monthly gathering of stu- dents who wish to share their views on vital local and national problems. Radio broadcasts, panel discussions, debates, and study of world's economic, social, and political sit- uations are only a few of their many functions. One gains from this club many opportunities to express his beliefs and to listen attentively to others. A member can suggest his solution to problems that are discussed and help to choose new topics of con- cern to all ot the students.

Biology, physics and chemistry instruction was supplemented with additional information gleaned from the ac- tivities of the club for the scientific minded, An exhibition that aroused much interest and proved an invaluable educational aid was the demon- stration of glass blowing, a delicate and difficult art. Other programs, presented in an entertaining man- ner, have been equally instructive. 109 Standing in front: Caroline Farrar, First row, left to righti Steffie Sloman, Jane Mahoney, Lois Thayer, Dee McKnight, Diane Endres, Mary Agnew, Ann Kessler, Ruby Haynes, Rachael Hunter.

Anyone interested in this field may join this club if he attends three consecutive meetings and maintains good scholastic standing. Members gain experience and knowledge through such programs as a tour through the telephone building and other business establishments and attending lectures given by business men and women. All of this will be of great benefit when the Business Education Club members enter the business world. 113 President Norma Jo Mayes leads a meeting of the Future Teachers of America.

The responsibility of the Future Teachers of America as a factor in encouraging and instructing future teachers is a serious one. Investigating the profession, members of the club weigh the advantages and disadvantages, find out what chances they will have for advancement and measure their abilities for this career. 114 Lana! glcfmcafion Manipulating a Tool of Education Learning comes in many forms. Primarily students learn from books and lectures, but we are fortunate to have another medium . . . motion pictures. Visual Education is the organization which brings these films to our school. Each member is taught how to operate many types of projectors, and the proper handling of films and sound apparatus. The Visual Education program for this year included numerous educational films for the science, history, English, and health departments. Also, special full-length movies were shown for entertainment. The students of this club, by running these machines in classrooms and assemblies, help to bring a higher standard of education to Charleston High. Members of the club watch Sheldon Hyman operate the movie projector.

Accuracy and efficiency are characteristics of trained workers and also characteristics essential to the business world. Numerous commercial instructors, teaching the fundamentals and accepted methods of good business to enable students to acquire jobs immediately upon graduation from high school, supervise the cultivation of these favorable characteristics. Shorthand and typing are associated with precision and bookkeeping with order. The techniques that insure exactness are taught in various classes, such as economic geography and mathematics. Office practice gives students an opportunity to apply all they learn in the classes. ln the senior year distributive education may be taken. This is concerned with salesmanship and job placement. Thus our high school is placing well-trained business workers in the thriving world of business. Typing, an essential part ot the preparation tor the business world, is taught under the guidance of skillful instructors. Every business student strives to attain accuracy and efficiency. yank sul 5 H li nf' if 2 a Q Ag' rx' mfilvg Ju' Q Q xtljb Qin x . lt takes a heap of living to make a house a home. Edgar A. Guest's words are a challenge to young homemakers. To help them meet the challenge of establishing and maintaining a good home, a modern curriculum must offer such courses as clothing, foods, home nursing, and other such courses. Profitable to all girls is the knowledge of good grooming, of making new garments and altering or mending old ones, of new materials to work with, and of colors and styles becoming to the individual girl. Home nursing, as its name implies, is a course in the fundamentals of first aid, care for the sick, and essentials for good health. Open to both girls and boys, our foods classes, of which cooking is only one, are to instruct students in planning balanced meals, cooking, serving, dining room etiquette, and even the proper method of dish-washing. These courses convince young people that homemaking is not, as sometimes considered, drudgery, when one has learned to run a household with skill. Macfica!

General knowledge and appreciation of music, literature, and art are increased, The library offers volumes of information, enjoyment, and a short training period enables each student to use intelli- gently the library. The history, harmony, theory and choral phases of music, and the perspective, design, lettering-all the varied divisions of art-are pleasurable, instructive studies. Teachers encourage students to employ what they learn as an avocation, and prepare more tal- ented pupils for concentrated fine arts schooling. 132 :gyn- , lg .

Those who profit from training in the vocational shops are those who will take their places in industry. A wide variety of courses, providing general instruction in shop science, mathe- matics, procedure, repair work and safety, develop mechanically-inclined students into skilled tradesmen. Each student must understand the construction, function, and necessary care of each machine or instrument he uses. Auto mechanics, sheet metal, woodwork, radio, and mechan- ical drawing are fine shops supplying such supervised learning and experience. .255 V 51-.18 ' 'fi g if? 3'9 ft Q, W' 1 If X Q ik fi xziwg 1,5 .44 'ff if vb f ll Irs- 1-N... 5- -su , .Wh ' , XV,, gp .

Scoring was distributed among seven CHS gridders, with Harvey Fleck touching pay dirt twice. Kryzak, Holsclaw, Layne, Whipkey, Johnson, and Lucas tallied one each. The Mountain Lions began in a burst of energy that gradually subsided as the game progressed. Three markers were made in the first period, two in the second and third periods, and one in the fourth. Gene Simms tabbed Madison's Tommy Miller in the end zone for a safety. Madison's lone tally came in the final stanza cn a 76-yard kickoff return by Miller, and Atkins went through on an off tackle play for the extra point. Charleston's four conversions were scored by Brown via placements. CHS had an overwhelming edge infthe first downs department, which was 22-5. Coach Bartrug cleared the bench in this game and members of the B team had their share of action. South Charleston I2-6 Although badly outplayed, the Charleston High Mountain Lions clipped the wings of one of their inter-city rivals, 12-6. The South Charleston Black Eagles went down in defeat with a rushing margin of 233 yards to CHS's l87- and a i4-7 edge in first downs.

The first touchdown came in the second quarter when Charleston took possession on its own 7-yard line and ad- vanced to the 48 where Bill Holsclaw uncorked a 49-yard run to the Eagles' 3-yard marker. Two plays later, Whipkey broke through and Charleston had its first six chalked up. South Charleston's Turley made a six-pointer in the fourth and the game was tied with only minutes to go. Noel Whipkey took the kickoff on the 20 and rambled off 48 yards to start the drive rolling. A few plays later, Holsclaw flipped one to Johnny Lucas from the l5 for the tally. CHS failed to JACK COAT5 EVADING AN EAST BANK TACKLER make the extra point and the Mountain Lions had a six-point lead with less than two minutes to play. The Black Eagles failed to rally and the Gold and Blue had their second victory intact. Beckley 32-l 3 A After being given up as dead and buried, the Mountain Lions roared into life with a thorough rout of Beckley's Flying Eagles, 32-l3. Hopes of a cham- pionship this year for the City of Champions were diminished before 7,000 gridiron fans at Laidley Field. While the Flying Eagles' highly publicized Dwayne Wingler was kept grounded, Bill lBabyfacel Holsclaw was passing himself into county and state honors. Holsclaw passed 43 yards for the first CHS touchdown, and with two aerials racked up 70 yards for the next tally. He set up the last tally with a 23-yard pitch. Halfback Noel Whipkey led the glory brigade with two of six tallies and the other halfback, Jack Coats, provided another. Ends, Gene Johnson and Johnny Lucas, accounted for the two remaining six pointers. Dave Brown licked the old CHS weakness with two good placements in the first and fourth periods. The Mountain Lions' running game was shoddy. They made a total gain of only 99 yards, ending up with a net gain of 25 yards. Aerial yardage was l47-60 Charleston and first downs ll-lO. Bluefield I2-I 2 Overconfidence, plus a few other things, aided in this first minor setback of the formidable Mountain Lions in their foray against Beaver High of Bluefield, which ended in a l2-l2 deadlock. Charleston scored in the second quarter by parlaying a Bluefield punt out of bounds on the Beaver 24, and from there a pass connection between Bill Holsclaw and Johnny Lucas carried them to the two-yard line. Noel Whipkey plunged over to equal an early Bluefield score and deadlock the game 6-6. 159 First row, left to right: Gary Fields, Eddie Layne, Charles Moore, Emmett Lacy, Danny Harrah, Ray Kryxak lCaptainl , Charles Rucker, Danny Smithson, Teddy Young, Glenn Compton, and Harvey Fleck.

The Beavers held a i4-7 first down margin yard downfield march to the CHS l2, where a passing combination was pulled on the sleeping Charleston defensive team. Eddie Moricle took the snap from center and sent a short aerial to end Johnny Bowles for the tying score. The Beavers held a l4-7 first down margin and a rushing edge of 376-109 over the Moun- tain Lions. East Bank 34-I9 A combination of three sustained drives, good running, and a long pass, gave the Moun- tain Lions a 34-i9 victory over the East Bank Pioneers. The Pioneers kept the game much in doubt with touchdown kickoff returns by Joe Carr and Tornrny McGuire of 83 and Sl yards, respectively. East Bank's other tally came on a 27-yard pass between Carr and Jim Pauley. Some of the boys who made this game a decided victory for Charleston were, end Gene Johnson, with his spectacular defensive and offensive play, Noel Whipkey's power-packed runs, and the successful short pass barrage by aerial ace, Bill Holsclaw, with Gerald Litteral on the catching end. Noel Whipkey rammed his way over from the five to tally the first score in the first stanza, and Litteral took a short pass from Holsclaw for the extra point to make the score 7-O. Holsclaw captured the light in the second stanza point with a plunge from the two-yard line, and later in the period engineered a 55- yard TD drive, placing the ball on the three with a 25-yard scamper and a pass to Litteral, then going over for the score himself. Other scores were by Whipkey again in the fourth, and Johnson on a 20-yard pass. CHS stalwart, Gene Johnson, gained a safety in the third stanza by blocking an East Bank kick out of coffin corner. NOEL WHIPKEY SCORING IN HUNTINGTON EAST GAME Parkersburg I 3-7 The Big Reds of Parkersburg bowed under a fourth quarter drive, sparked by Noel Whipkey, to give the Charleston Mountain Lions a l3-7 gridiron triumph and a game record of 5-l-O. Jack Coats grabbed a Big Red fumble on the CHS 22 and scamp- ered 78 yards for the opening six-pointer and the only tally in the first half. Parkersburg came to life briefly in the third quarter after a quick change of events which ended badly for the Mountain Lions. Our competent Mountain Cats retaliated with a swift upstep in defense and forced the Big Reds to kick, Parkersburg standout, Dick Snod- grass, got off a high and long punt that enabled the Big Reds to get under the kick and kill it on the 27-yard line before the Mountain Lions could get rolling. Situations became reversed, and the Moun- tain Lions got off a bad kick which was returned to the 28-yard line, where Jim Dines sailed through for their only tally.

From there the Mountain Lions began their victory march with Whipkey, Coats, and Litteral doing the rushing. Charleston progressed to the l-yard line where Whipkey bulled over to complete his rally, and Eddie Layne went around right end for the extra point. Huntington East l 3-7 Charleston Mountain Lions' defensive unit proved their worth against Huntington East by protecting throughout the game a two-touch- down flurry in the five minutes of play to net a l3-7 win for CHS. The Mountain Cats made a mockery of the game with their running score of l3-O after five minutes of play and the individual running of Gerald Litteral. On the kickoff, Gene John- son carried the pigskin to the 35, and Litteral took over from there with a 65-yard iaunt to begin his total ground coverage of llO yards in IO tries. Noel Whipkey compiled 62 yards to make the game total 172 yards. Charleston amassed 55 yards via aerials. The second CHS tally came after Charleston had kicked off again and substitute Hubert Lykens pounced on an East fumble by Lee Scarberry on the 37. ln eight plays Charleston moved to the nine and from there Holsclaw threw on the dead run to Johnson, who whisked it across. Jim Dotson's placement made it l3-O, and the Highlanders finally took possession with l7 minutes left in the first period. East's only score came on a pass from Jimbo Atkins to Kegle Curtis from the 26, and Dick Morgan made the conversion. CHS protected their lead to make the record 7 wins, l tie, and no losses. 162 Junior Heishman lrightl seems to be a popul guy among the Beckley Flying Eagles: at lea: they all hit him at the same time during Beckle' Charleston football action. ln the bottom picture, Gene Johnson waiting for another perfect pass pitched by the Mountain Lions' acrial ace, Bill Holsclaw.

Huntington Central 32-0 A whopping 32-O was the final score when the Mountain Lions finished rompinq over the Pony Express of Huntington Central. This left CHS undefeated, but once tied in nine starts. The Ponv Express made their only serious scoring threat in the first quarter, when they drove to the Mountain Lions' 26-vard line. They were stymied there and never got that far again in the entire game. Bill Holsclaw cut loose with a 57-yard scoring run at the end of the first half to begin the scoring parade. After a practically wasted first half, Charleston got down to brass tacks in the second bv cutting loose with a four-touchdown barrage. The first of these came when Noel Whipkev reeled off 35 vards around the end. Gerald Litteral covered a fumble on the kickoff and the Mountain Cats began a combined drive that ended in the end zone. The next score was made via a Holsclaw to Johnson accompanied by a 28-yard run. The finale came when Gene Johnson intercepted a Pony Express pass and went over on his feet to make the final score 32-O. Stonewall Jackson 7-21 Laidley Field, the graveyard of would-be state foot- ball champions, claimed another victim as Charleston High was trodden under 21-7 in their heartbreaker of the season aqainst the scarlet and gray of Stonewall Jackson High School.

Three main factors in the CHS defeat were: playing under pressure, fumbles, and the Generals' fullback, Bill McClure. Trouble began with the opening kickoff. Noel Whipkey took Nick Carr's kickoff on the l2, and ran it back to the 20 and fumbled. Stonewall's Red Mazzella was there to recover and six plays later McClure was across the line. Dave Savage kicked his first of three good placements while the Mountain Lions were getting over the shock. Charleston High's first threat in the second period was stopped by a fumble, and the Generals' Tommy Given took a punt in the same period and raced 69 vards for their second TD. Halftime score was l4-O. Mountain Lion forces rallied in the third and tallied their only score on a 56-yard pass play between Hols- claw and Lucas. Extra point was made by Dotson via placement. Under command of the Generals' Mark Jarrett and Tommy Given, Stonewall tallied again, and the 2l-7 score marked the finale of the season for both teams.

In the St. Albans encounter, the Mountain Lions came out of their losing streak and trounced the Dragons 69-54. Pence, Richardson, Harris, and Holsclaw each hit two-digit scores. After this victory, the Lions fell into a three-game losing streak against Charleston Catholic, 70-76, Huntington East, 63-74, and Hunting- ton Central, 76-83. The Mountain Lions rallied to beat Dunbar, 96-71, East Bank, 78-64, and St. Albans, 94-90. Stonewall's victory of 107-77 toppled the Lions from the winning column, and CHS was down under again. Coach Martin played seven substitutes in this game. Pence, Bolin, and Harris were high-point men, with 18, 17, and 12, respectively. Charleston was beaten 63-54 by Catholic, but pulled out of the groove long enough to beat DuPont, 68-57, and Dunbar, 75-58. The next night Parkersburg took the measure of the Lions by a score of 91 -61. Harris was high-point man for CHS with 20. The second Clendenin game also proved to be a thriller, but Charleston came out ahead in this one, 50-48. ln the closing game ot the season against the South Charleston Black Eagles, Charleston lost 61-78.

The Mountain Lion Baseball Team of 1953 ended the season with an impressive record of lO wins and 3 losses. The season had many interesting and unusual happenings, including three no-hit ball games, two pitched by Rodney Hundley and the other by George Bails. Pat Boggs led the team in batting averages, with .4l7. George Bails had the best Runs Batted ln with 15. Pat Boggs and George Bails had three home runs each during the season. Hundley had the best pitching record with 6 wins and 3 losses. An inter- esting incident occurred in a game with Stonewall, when CHS was behind two points in the last half of the ninth inning. With two outs and two men on base, Bails came to bat and with the count three and two he hit a home run scoring the other two and himself, making the score 5 to 4. ln sectional play, Charleston High was defeated badly by East Bank, 9 to 2. It seems Coach Martin's nine couIdn't function the way they had during the regular season. Twelve men earned their letters during the 1953 season. They were George Bails, Pat Boggs, Ernest Carte, David Ferrell, Joe Gerencir, Stan Given, Joe Hammonds, Rodney Hundley, John Jones, Eddie Kimble, Joe Pence, and Charles Thomas. Only two Iettermen will return this spring, Eddie Kimble and Joe Pence. Batting Averages Pat Boggs .... .......... ................... . 4 17 Ernest Carte ,...... George Bails ,......

The Mountain Lions' track squad broke only one official record this year and that by CHS stalwart, Rock Ehle. Ehle for three years tried for the state pole vault record. Last year in the State Meet, Ehle tried his allowed times while Paul Hedrich, the previous record holder and ath- lete from Charleston High, tried to make Rock take his time on his tries, but this failed and Rock didn't make it. However, on his fourth try he got a little mad and broke unofficially the 20-year state record. His un- official record was l2' l . Charleston Captures Second In State Meet Charleston ended a track season this year with second places in nearly all the meets. Stonewall Jackson again dominated the state in track, going undefeated through the year. Charleston's Rock Ehle was really trying for that state record in the pole vault. The day of the State Meet it was raining and it looked bad for Rock, but the weather didn't stop him. The state record fell as Ehle went over the bar for a l2' l mark. Claude Rhule, the other co-captain, did a good deal to aid the squad in capturing those second places. Claude took first in high hurdles and second in the low hurdles in the State Meet. We have seven lettermen returning for the '54 season, and we should have a good year. The fol- lowing will return: Charles Wilson--hurdles, Bill Holsclaw-relay, Dick Stoakley-hurdles, Jim Shai -pole vault, Gene Johnson-hurdles, Noel Whip- key-quarter mile and relay Hermas Canterbury. 180 . . , 0 . 1.
