Chatham Hall - Chathamite Yearbook (Chatham, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1944 volume:

ECA USE, now that graduation time has really come, we ind ourselves looking back on our days here at Chatham Hall and lamenting with Mrs. Darling, They were ours, ours, and now they are gone g and because we know that in the future. when we have time to follow Peter Pan's directions and take the second to the right and straight on till morning, there will be parts of our Neverland that resemble Chatham and some of its inhabitants will remind us of people we knew and loved here, we have chosen as the theme of our yearbook for the Class of I 944 the works of Sir james M. Barrie. TI-IE .

K ATHERINE McKAY Vice President ....... ........ S ALLY BRITTINGHAM Sponsor ......... ...... ...... ...,........... ............ . . . ..,... IVI i ss Hou' We, the members of the Class of 1944, lvish to express our very great appreciation to Miss Holt, our Dean, our friend, and our Sponsor, and to Kathy and Britt, our ojhcers, for the hours they have spent, the interest they have shown, and the patience which has been ever tried but has never failed. To- gether they have done more than their share to malfe I943- 1944 the crown of all our years at Chatham Hall. SENIOR CLASS WILL HE ancient and honorable custom of leaving something of one's worldly goods behind one started, contrary to public opinion, in the darkest jungles of equatorial Africa. An enterprising King fwhose name shall be unknown, began the practice by leaving the mummifled heads of his slain enemies to comfort his distraught wives when a crocodile clasped him to its green and thorny chest. This spread like wildfire and became the vogue in no time. At Chatham Hall, it has developed into each Senior's leaving some price- less gem of material belonging or sparkling personality to encourage and invig- orate those who will tread in her footsteps. We have made a valiant attempt to malge the willing thrilling. To be precise and clear, alphabetical order will be use . Lydia Babbott, one of the few who do not need furtively to crumple up pieces of paper containing self-made poetry and slyly toss them away, leaves her sonnets to a new and inspiring anthology for the library. Snubby leaves her soaring eyebrows to replace Betsy Burrows's Hanging Gardens. Bobby and Boo bequeath that talented Terpsichorean position on the dance floor to hep- cats Gerry Smith and Linda. Like most striking sights in this world, it has to be seen to be appreciated. We could not leave out Legs Dickey, who is the lucky girl to receive the pair of chic short shorts from Katy Bertles, because 20 they would be rather too chilly for Norway. Betty Bidgood gives Pannill her baby bob. Explanation: strong women have been seen to writhe on the floor in paroxysms of rage at sight of Pannill's long, wavy locks. Britt leaves her boom- ing bass to Carol High C Sperry. Now she can have the entire scale to play with. Betty Brown leaves the bi-weekly report list minus her name. just won't seem like the same old piece of paper, will it? Pam Burden leaves her refined and nice accent to Sara Kincey, whose tones represented the Deep South in person. That sad look on Miss Denniston's little dog's face has not passed unnoticed. How unutterably overjoyed he will be to find that he is not for- gotten, for Pat Butterfield has left him the Scottie on her notebook. Cookie leaves her loose-limbed, drifting walk to supplement l-lutch's rocky way of going through life. There is something so comforting about the soothing sawing of a yo-yo going up and down the halls that Elaine was per- suaded to leave hers to Sally. Family tradition will carry on the atmosphere. There has been a rumor in circulation that Katie Etter has never been west of Bethlehem fPa.J. This state of affairs cannot be allowed to go on, so Lea Cumings leaves her globe-trotting to Katie. Sue Deering bequeaths her boisterous, hail-fellow-well-met manner to that quietest, most self-effacing, little lady in the school, Beverly Brady. Those terse, tense, efficient announcements in assembly Denny abruptly leaves to Motley Morehead. The Bootery Committee should be highly honored. Toni Etter gladly leaves Tommy's hardware, but not Tommy. Lindsay leaves her unwashed S. P. S. Bowling shark to add a note of sophistication to Sylvia Morton's black dress. In these times of stress, Jean Ford leaves her anti-aircraft laugh to Harriet fLady Haw-Hawl Matthews. Frankie leaves her honored place of breezing along at the head of the hikes to .Ioanie Williams. Mike bequeaths that room with the lived-in look to Pat Pyke. Cally and Patty leave their room-need we say more? Janet Hartwell generously gives her tight-rope technique to McNutt, the squirrel. Midge leaves her exquisite penmanship for those undecipherable enigmatic pink scraps of paper signed HA. E.. T. Carol Vreeland will never again have to resort to shoes made out of bedroom slippers now that Margot has left her a few of her many pairs. Johnnie leaves the piggy bank to further finance Third Pruden of a Sunday. Pat Kenway's artistic touch will be gratefully received by James Thurber. Rita gives her bracelets with the constant jingle, jangle, jingle, back to their owners. Peggy Lucas refuses to leave the Marines to Miss Leaning. 21 Alice leaves her class explosions to the Twins. Kathy gives her Charlotte reputation to Maggie Woods. Advice: Carry on! Sunny gives the flowers in her hair to inspire the feebler members of the Faculty garden. The mirrors of Dabney will henceforth reflect the fair form of Jean Ruffin instead of Mary Mateer. Pony leaves her poodle to Miss Andrus, to be a playmate for Sandra. Sylvia Morss's Castles in the Air are now lend-leased to Miss Gross. In the meantime, the athletic Eleanor Owens is left helplessly with Polly Page's all-powerful hockey technique. Sally Palmer's jive countenance is left to Nonie Ogg. Ginny Penney lends her brother to help put over at least ten more years of Chatham dances. Ann Robinson's admirable practicability is bequeathed to the school's original absent-minded professor, Vicky. Marty Lu Blankarn, having been left Beverly Smith's Byrd cloth jacket, will now have something new to wear riding. Stanley gives Homer to Mo so that she may at last have a horse her own size. Sandy leaves her dignified antiquity to Flavia. Tay leaves her place by the radio listening to F. S. every Saturday night to the enamored Moose. Petey gives her angel face to joan Farish. Farish needs it quite urgently. Wheeler gives her Exeter pillow to Southgate, who really wants it. Sally Witt leaves horses, horses, horses. Last, but not least, Babs leaves her inexhaustible volubility to some unsuspecting ear. And, you may ask, what will I945 be like, with all these sterling ingre- dients? We have the answer to that. It will be tremendous, it will be sensa- tional, it will be terrihc. f x L FLA S' st at fire ,l 'PK ., ,, 22 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Ten years hence in fifty-four We find ourselves at Katy's door. Travel's fast and in one day All of us can reach Norway. Q The smell of fresh Norwegian fare C heerily pervades the air, And Beverly Smith is heard to say She'll put of her diet one more day. Wheeler heaves a heavy sigh As she lets the food pass by. Miss New Hampshire is her aim: Pounds will spoil this road to fame. The children are given into Ford's care To keep them from mischief anywhere. She herds them fondly out of harm's way, And superintends them as they play. Syl, who's the head of a Sunday School, Helps Ford with those who are hard to rule. And comparing their views they find they agree On punitive measures to lenient degree. There by the window P.

But she's worried now to a great degree For she's somehow misplaced the lecture three. But Stoddard now falls with a groan to the floor And her face seems to us much more pale than before Our minds fill at once with a terrible fear Which leaves as we see Dr. Hunter appear. 25 The cause, says Hunter, is evident, lt's insufficient nourishment. Stoddard, it seems, was out talking to Ford, And when food was passed round was completely ignored Boo, chasing microbes of some form or other. Was slightly annoyed when she heard she'd recover. I had hoped for a chance at autopsy today, She explains as she packs all her knives away. Kathy, who heads Clean-Up-Charlotte Committee, Has just dashed in from that wicked city.

The Student Council is the core of supervision of the student body. The members have many and varying duties to fill, such as Library and Hall duties. They see that the rules of the school are understood and obeyed for the benefit of everyone. They cooperate with Dr. Lee and Miss I-Iolt in helping to make the school run more smoothly. We can never praise Lea Cumings, its President, and the members of the Council enough for their outstanding leadership which has made this a year to be remembered.

The Service League gives to everyone at Chatham Hall the opportunity of serving and helping others both within the school and all over the world. Every girl in the school joins one of it two service groups: the School Life Department, which is responsible for entertainments and for keeping up school moraleg or the Devotional Department, which is divided into four groups: the Altar Guild, Northfield Committee, Hymnal Committee, and Chapel Duty Committee. In addition to one of these groups, each girl is a member of one of the three interest groups. These are the World Outlook, which contributes to war relief and attempts to give its members a clearer understanding of world affairs: the Social Out- look, which makes its members more familiar with social problems and charity work: and the Race Relations, which studies racial groups both within this country and abroad. Each of these departments sponsors lectures, discussion groups, and charitable activities which help to broaden our outlook and increase our interest in other peoples, classes, and races.

It is located in a large room under the Chapel and is open every weekday afternoon to anyone who finds the time to come. The Chairman of this year's Committee is Anne Taylor, who deserves the greatest admiration for her conscientious and efficient work. The other members are Jean Duncan, Barbara Eisner, Ann Franklin, Patricia Kenway, Kathy McKay, Virginia Penney, Nancy Thacher, Carol Vreeland. THE CITIZENSHIP LEAGUE To be political organizers! Although a comparatively new organization in the school, the Citizenship League is becoming increasingly important. Its purpose is to develop in its members the essential prin- ciples of democracy and to increase their understanding of a citizen's responsibilities. Mem- bership is limited to the Senior Class, the Faculty, and to Alumnae under twenty-one. ln December the League meets with the other Citizenship Leagues of Pittsylvania County at the Chatham High School to hear an address on some aspect of citizenship. It also sponsors discussion groups, war stamp drives, and once a year a meeting of the whole school with a visiting speaker.

This Club includes the girls who show outstanding ability in playing musical instru- ments, in singing, or who have an unusual knowledge of the musical world. In the meetings the members entertain each other by playing and singing. They also give Sunday evening concerts and, at the end of the year, a formal concert for the whole school. This year a Glee Club was organized, open to anyone interested in group singing, to further the interests and development of music in the school. President. PArRicrA Hawes Sponsors: Miss ANDRUS.
