I he first of cjur most glorious high school days began early in September, 1939. .At last vve began to “share and share alike” in the work that has so greatly improved our minds, and in the play that will provide tor us so many happy memories in the years to come. Four years have passed since that momentous September and in that time a great deal has been contributed to the Chatham High School by the Class of ’42. I ' he first thing we did when we were freshmen was to organize our class, electing our officers, et al. .After everyone was settled we began to really look around and to find out what made the place tick. We wanted tcj do any and everything to keep our school alive and we succeeded. Our Sophomore year was the happiest for most. .At least, we were more carefree. If there had ever been any doubts or fears in our minds they had fled. We worked less and played more. hat had we to worry about? Hadn’t we passed the most difficult part with flying colors? There w ' ere picnics, parties, and extra-curricular activities. .A few members of our Freshman Class had taken part in the (flee Club and played basket- ball and other sports. Now, ev ' en more members joined in and made the other classes realize that even though we were green, we were growing very fast. We began our Junior year with an entirely new outlook on life. Everyone became serious for each realized more than ever before the importance of school work. We knew that graduation night was only half as far away as it had been such a short while before. Therefore, there was hardly anything but a good deal of earnest studying at first and the students began to think a lot about the not so distant future when they would be cast out into the “cold, dark, world” to struggle along as best they could. Clubs were soon organized, dances and parties were given, and the boys and girls once again began to play basketball. The Glee Club was organized under the direction of Miss .Alberta Carpenter and quite a few of us became members. This group of singers soon proved to be one of the best our school has ever had. Near the end of the year we gave the seniors a picnic at Timber I.ake, near Lynchburg, which also proved to be a great success and shall long be remembered by all who attended. School days! School days! The last of our golden rule days began September 4, 1941. .At last, we had become dignified Seniors; we had attained the goal worked for so long. We moved forward with an even tempo, organizing the class, electing the officers, and, of course, taking an active part in all school activities. From the beginning of the year until after Christmas we spent most of our spare time trying to convince the faculty that we should have an annual. Finally, we were successful and began working on our yearbook right aw ' ay. N ow that the time is really close at hand when we shall be leaving these halls of knowledge, we feel certain that our life has been enriched a great deal by every day we have spent here, and know that if we are a success in life it will be because of the four years we spent in the Chatham High School.

' I ' onight, ten years ago, our graduating class proudly walked across the stage of Chatham High with our diplomas. How proud we were and how confident of our success in the life that stretched out before us! .As my mind wanders back to that eventful night, 1 can hardly realize that ten years have passed. A’et, when I consider the many changes that have taken place in my life and the lives of my schoolmates, it seems even a greater length of time. ' ery tew of the members of my graduating class are unmarried. Mr. and Mrs. Haywood Crider, formerly Helen and Honey, now own a very prosperous farm down in the meadow; Haywood is a .State d ' rooper and has hired men to do his farming. I wonder if he’s given Helen a ticket yet! Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Light, yes, the inseparable Folly and Nelson, have been living in Chatham for two years since their marriage. Polly is very proud of her husband who was quite a hero in the Ignited States .Air Corps, and is even more proud of the promising lawyer he is now. Clihord (ieyer and the fair Sara are contemplating matrimony most any day now. Little Sara has been undecided about taking this step for a number of years because she doesn’t quite like that “try-out” plan “Jake” suggested. The former Mabel Dalton is secretary to her husband, Clyde Allen, who owns an automobile factory in Chatham. By the way, he has tires now. M arjie Lee .Anderson finally got the man of her dreams — a handsome six-footer in uniform -nope, it’s not the White this time! What’s more, she plays the piano in the Symphony Orchestra in Carnegie Hall. Gee, who doesn’t envy her! Laye Walters is the secretary of the Commonwealth .Attorney of Chatham. She owns a lovely colonial home out in West Chatham, but as yet has never married because she cannot decide whether she would rather have a minister or a lawyer. Rebecca Edwards is doing quite well as buyer for all the department stores in Chatham. Keep it up, Becky! Inez (Litewood has gone far in the field of music. She is now the second “Kate Smith” and sings over W. L. 1. C., “ orld’s Largest Industrial Center,” Chatham, X’irginia, every night from 7:00 ’til 7:30 p. m. Janies Blanks has at last realized his talent for writing themes (since English l ' in High) and is now a star reporter for the New York Times. It seems as if Nannie Sours really got what she wanted. .She is now .Air Hostess on a huge airliner from California to New A ' ork. Inciden tally, she also landed Bob! Poor Elack ! Nathan Harris has proved to be quite a success in his beloved subject, chemistry. 1 le is now a famous chemist and is trying to discover the source of “Spring Eever.” joe Moschler, none other than Sergeant Moschler of World War II, has made the army a career. He still hasn’t found the nerve to ask Catherine East to be his blushing bride. Eaithful Cathy is teaching Home Economics in Chatham High and is still waiting patiently, (jive him time. Honey! Prophecy F.unice Geyer is now a famous song and verse composer. 1 think she has a new version ot “Elmer’s Tune,” and a new advertising jingle: “We used to drink R. C.’s •And good-gosh, oh, gee! But now we have C. R.’s I’mm! That’s the drink for me!” .Margaret Jones is quite a busy lady. She is ’ice-President of the Planters Bank ot Chatham and at last has her own secretaries to take her letters. Gee, Maggie! Virginia has established “Osbourne’s Secretarial College” in Chatham, which is co-educational, ot course. We knew you could do it. Jinny! Her taithtul pal, Thelma Owen, is a trained nurse in the new hospital recently erected in Chatham. Hilda Boswell and her Jack now make their home in Newport News. We’ve heard Hilda goes motorcycle riding every day! We knew quiet, sweet Mary Murphy would be a success. She married a missionary and now lives in India. Douglas Faylor has finally become the Pharmacist of Chatham Pharmacy. It took a long time, but we knew he’d do it! ’an Elliott is now Chatham’s leading physician. I ' here is also the rumor that he has a lovely blonde nurse and wedding bells are about to ring . . .. Jack Green is none other than a minister. He has not married as yet. He still believes the ladies are too fickle. John McLaughlin has his own motion picture theatre, however, he doesn’t run the projector. He needs more time to entertain the lovely ladies who sit near the rear en- trance. Kathleen E.aton lost no time after her graduation. She has been married for nine years and sometimes wonders if she didn’t settle down too young. Doris Atkinson received her diploma and left for the clerk’s office for some other kind of document. That’s alright, Dottie, we don’t blame you! M rs. Bill Draper, that cute little brunette, Marjie Easley, lives in Norfolk. She and Bill are very happy and we wish ’em lots of luck. Margaret Easley is quite a lady about the town. F ' .very time we see her she is in a flashy new car. I ' hat’s great, Margaret, but how do you do it? (1 wish you’d give me a tip!) Virginia and Katherine Sours have followed out their high school plans and are now famous artists, drginia recently won the w ' orld’s recognition by painting a portrait of “The Defeated Hitler.” I finally decided what I wanted in life. I now pilot a mail plane from Montgomery, •Alabama to Richmond, Virginia. Gee, it’s thrilling! Life has held many exciting adventures for all of us and though those years at good old C. H. S. are over, we’ll never forget them but look forward to the new adventures life has in store for us. Edna larilla. Wonder What Would Happen If . . . Sarah Adams forgot to resist .... (jet it? Clyde .Allen -didn’t hav e a girl to hit? Doris .Atkinson —didn’t have “ j . J.” to talk about? Marjie Lee .Anderson -lost her ability to hold “Cadets?” James Blanks missed a history question? Hilda Boswell admired a certain post graduate? Mabel Dalton’s eyes didn’t twinkle at some secret? Haywood Crider was on the sidelines at a basketball game? Kathleen Eaton — lost her friendliness? Catherine East admitted falling in love? Margaret Easley didn’t have a petite manner? .Marjorie Easley didn’t have her H. M. .A. pal to walk with? Rebecca Edwards wasn’t steadfast and loyal? ’an Elliott — found the way to Whittles? Inez (jatewood lost her flirting technique? Eunice (ieyer lost her amazing sense of humor? Clifford Geyer didn’t have a great determination to capture a certain blomle? Jack (jreen didn’t blush when spoken to? Nathan Harris spoke without being questioned? Nelson Light couldn’t laugh at and with you? .M argaret Jones dated a boy? John .McLaughlin had rather be homely than handsome? Edna .Marilla didn’t get a letter from .Alabama? Polly .Moore’s “Light” failed? Joe .Moschler’s innocent expression didn’t keep the girls speechless? Marv .Murphy didn’t take pleasure in overcoming tlifficulties? X’irginia Osborne forgot to ring the bell? Thelma Owen wasn’t always looking for “Crickets?” Helen Pickeral’s favorite dish wasn’t “lloney?” Nannie Sours disposed of her curls?

Anderson Julian Boswell Boys ' Basketball K v.A Vv , An unusually good season was started in November with the best basketball team the school has ever haci. With three lettermen returning from the 1940-41 team, Mr. N orburn, an inexperienced coach, selected his starting hv ' e as follows: Captain Haywood Crider and Pete Brown, forwards; Clifford Geyer and Motley, guards; and Joe Moschler, center. I ' he team played undefeated on their home court, setting a record for the school. Chatham won twelve out of the fourteen games scheduled during the whole season. d ' he “Blue Comets” were unable to compete for the State Championship at Charlottesville because they were not a member of the irginia Literary .Athletic League. Chatham did, however, enter a tournament held in Danville in M arch, rhe “Comets” were victorious over Cobbe Memorial but lost to the highly favored Schoolfield High, the score being 26-24 in the semi-finals. % L«o-c aX a x� CL. vv-.«vvy Girls ' Basketball R4i -All After practicing for several weeks our coach, Mrs. Toler, selected her team as follows; Sarah Adams, Edna Marilla and Eunice (ieyer, forwards; Helen Eickeral, Norma Evans and Ruth Jones, guards. I ' he games were played with the best sportsmanship ever shown in the girls’ team and the victories that were won were done so by their united effort. Manv of the substitutes showed their true skill and will return to school for action next season. Boys ' Baseball Coach ' 1 ' .
