He is very intelligent. He will never be forgotten for his steady dependability. He is certain to succeed in any field he chooses. REBECCA ANN ASHBY Rebecca Ann has a personal- ity all her own. As a pie- maker she has won fame throughout the state. A bright future awaits her in the Home Economics field. Her cheerful manner and contagious smile brighten the darkest days. ROBERT LEE BELL Bobby is pleasingly quiet, but is always ready for a conver- sation. He is easy to get along with and takes an in- terest in his school work. 10 JULIAN DOUGLAS BERLIN When everything is in an uproar, J. D. always remains calm. He is very dependable, and has a very fine per- sonality with a keen sense of humor. He is liked by every- one in school. ROBERT LEE COOKE Bobby is very active in sports and is well known and well liked. He is husky and hand- some and carries off the hon- or of being the best looking senior. PAULINE VIRGINIA BOYD Homer said, “Redheads have a temper” but we disagree, because Polly’s quiet manner and friendly smile has won a high place for her in our school. Her ability to take dictation is one of her many assets. 11 ROBERT LEE CRIM Bobby is a good student and his ability to gain friends will always be an asset. He is full of fun and indispen- sable in all school activities. If fun is not available he goes to find it. SARA VIRGINIA CRIM With her quiet helpful way Sara will make the perfect secretary. Her talents are varied, but she excels in handwork and twirling the baton. JOYCE ANN DENNY Whenever help is needed, Joyce is always there with her best hand forward. She works hard, but always finds time to be nice to everyone and proves herself a true friend. 12 JOHNNY FRANKLIN DODSON Johnny is easy going and always happy. He does his best in anything he undertakes. Everyone in high school likes him, for he makes a good addition to any group. [ I RONALD IDEN FULLER Ronald has a sense of humor, but when he settles down he really does good work, es- pecially in government. He is a good addition to the athletic field and will be a great loss next year. RICHARD HENRY DOVE Richard’s ready smile and courteous manner have won him many friends. He can always be found teasing in shorthand and typing classes. 13 GOLDIE VIRGINIA GARRETT Goldie is very neat and her attractive personality has made her list of friends a long one. She is the kind of person that usually accomplishes what she starts and does it well. BETTY JEAN GRAY Betty Jean is willing to help in fun or work. She is care- free and has a smile for everyone. She will be missed by her classmates and all who know her. MARTIN COMILOUS GRIM Martin is thoughtfully quiet and sincere in all he does. He is always on the go. He spends a lot of time hunting and fishing, in which he excels. 14 BARBARA VIRGINIA GROVE Barbara’s talent is in drawing. She has proved it by the work in our Annual. She has a strong personality with a lot of charm. She’ll brighten a sick room after she finishes nurse training. IRENE ANNE JENKINS Anne is always having the time of her life. She livens up any crowd. In between games and parties she al- ways manages to get school work in. MARY LOUISE HIBBARD Mary Lou’s quiet manner is very becoming. She is stud- ious and a friend to every- one. Mary Lou talks little but she knows the answers in class. The best to you, Mary Lou, in all you under- take. 15 MARGARET VIRGINIA JENKINS Margaret is a real addition to the class of 1953. She is a whiz in sports. She is friendly and enjoys all school ac- tivities. SUSAN RANDOLPH JONES Susan is charmingly quiet. She has a smile that will melt any heart and is plenty cute. She is one of those rare per- sons who find time to be kind to everybody. VIOLA GEGERTHA KERNS Gegertha is peppy and indus- trious. She is an active cheer- leader, has a ready smile, and can be counted on to do her share. 16 MATTIE LOUISE LaFOLLETTE Mattie brings a little sunshine into everyone’s life by her kind words and deeds. She has a cute little twinkle in her eye that charms all! We hope that Mattie will get the best life has to offer. VIRGINIA ANNE LOCKE Behind Ginger’s smile there is true friendship. She is excellent on the basketball court. Her attractive person- ality will take her far in her chosen career. ROSE MARIE LEVI Marie is so pleasant and knows how to win friends and keep them. She is always willing to do her part. There is never a dull moment when she is around. 17 JUANITA CARROLL McDONALD Juanita is energetic, studious, and friendly. She has the qualities of a leader and her clear voice makes her a good public speaker. A perfect secretary she will be. IDA GARNETT MORRIS Ida is a friend to all. She is sincere in all she does and shows a lot of enthusiasm for everything. She is always ready for the basketball court and holds her own as guard. MILTON LEE NICODEMUS Milton possesses a deep, bass voice, which is truly an asset. He has brightened our day with his singing. He is friend- ly and excels in agriculture. 18 IVAN OSTRISHKO Our class would not have been complete without Ivan. He has a gentlemanly manner and is much liked by all. Whilg not a native of the United States he puts us all to shame by his knowledge and appreciation of the American way of life. We wish the best for him. CAROL WRAY PINE If you have never met Carol you have been missing some- thing. She has poise and per- sonality and is very attrac- tive. C. C. H. S. will find her place hard to fill. CHARLES WILLIAM PETERS Billy’s qualities lie in the field of leadership. He is al- ways willing to help and has a serious outlook on the future. He is easily pleased and is most studious. 19 GEORGIE PAGE RENNER IRENE GERTRUDE RILEY Irene is always willing to help. Nothing is too much trouble if it should be done. She is always ready for fun and her warm, friendly man- ner has won her many friends. A good artist and an excellent student. Georgie has a friendly smile, nice brown eyes and a lovely way about her. She has a promising future using her talents to re- lieve some of the suffering in the world. RUSSELL FRANKLIN ROBERSON Russell seems to get along with everyone, but is always ready to debate when there is something of interest. His cheery, helpful manner has made him almost indispen- sable. It is hard to see how Mr. Miley and the projector can get along without him. 20 GARFIELD CRITTENDEN ROYSTON Garfield is our welcomed veteran. He is quiet but force- ful. He is always ready to do his part. We are glad fate turned his steps our way. MARGARET LOUISE SHILEY Margaret is so sweet she has a wide circle of friends. She has accomplishments with a capital “A”. Whether in gov- ernment class or sewing, she can be counted on to excel. WILLIAM WALTER ROYSTON Billy has qualities of leader- ship and has proved to be a splendid S. C. A. President. His talents lie in athletics and his going will be a great loss to the teams. 21 CHARLES KENNETH STICKLEY Kenneth is the life of a party. He is friendly with a capital “F” and his personality will carry him far, es- pecially in getting ads for the annual. He is outstanding in athletics. SHIRLEY ANN STICKLEY Shirley is dependable and loads of fun. She has lots of blonde hair and boasts the bluest eyes. She is liked by all who know her. CHARLES RICHARD SUDDITH Charles is a never-to-be for- gotten friend. He is quite a “Casanova”. He is willing to co-operate and always ready for fun. He has definitely been an asset to the senior class. 22 EDWARD WRENCHAW WEIR, JR. Edward is very neat and has a really smooth smile. His personality is one that everyone immediately likes. He shows wonderful sportsmanship and is an asset to any group. HELEN LOUISE WILSON Helen surely gets around. She can be counted on to be just herself. Never a dull moment. She is really tops! BETTY LOU WILEY Betty Lou gets a kick out of living. She likes things dif- ferent and is interesting to know. The best to you, Betty Lou! 23 SENIOR OFFICERS RUSSELL ALLAMONG President GEORGIE RENNER Secretary CLASS MOTTO: Today we follow, tomorrow we lead MARGARET JENKINS Vice-President THE BEGINNING As the evening shadows fall, On this fairest day of June, Music notes of sweetest melody Will be the Senior’s call.

Each year has been one of joy mingled with a little sorrow and sometimes misunderstandings. Now, at commence- ment time, we realize that the history of 1953 is closed to us as a class, but is beginning for us as in- dividuals. Let us turn back to chapter one and review the events and memories of the past twelve years. We started out as two separate classes, one at Boyce and the other at Berryville. Richard Dove, Goldie Garrett, Margaret Jenkins, Susan Jones, and Charles Suddith started to- gether at Boyce. During the early years they were joined by Bobby Cooke, Joyce Denny, Margaret Shiley, Helen Wilson, Russell Allamong, Irene Riley, Betty Jean Gray, and Betty Lou Wiley ; who came from the near countryside. Another one to join them in the early grades was Gertie Kerns from Hagerstown. The first grade class at Berryville consisted of Rebecca Ann Ashby, Milton Nicodemus, Bobby Bell, Ronald Fuller, Bill Royston, Marie Levi, Georgie Renner, Martin Grim, Mary Lou Hibbard, Russell Roberson, Bill Peters, and J. D. Berlin. The second grade gave us a brother and sister team — Kenneth and Shirley Stickley. In the third grade Johnny Dodson from Gaylord and Ginger Locke from Berryville joined us. Then in the fourth grade Mattie LaP ' ollette came to us from Clearbrook and Barbara Grove from Richmond. Polly Boyd from Pine Grove, Anne Jenkins from Berryville, and Carol Pine from Richmond were welcomed in the fifith grade. We added Bobby Crim, Edward Weir, and Sara Crim to our number in the sixth grade. The seventh grade was probably the happiest of our elementary school days, for it was there that we received diplomas and entered high school. We really felt grown-up then. Juanita McDonald re- joined us that year after an absence of three years. In the ninth grade we were joined by Ida Morris from Aldie and Ivan Ostrishko from overseas. The tenth grade saw the two schools consolidated and the two classes were joined together in a fine spirit of cooperation. We were honored in our eleventh year of school by being the first class to receive their school rings in the Junior year. We all worked hard that year to make the prom a success for the seniors. This brings us up to our Senior year where we were joined by Garfield Royston, who had taken the four grades of high school in three years. It was in our Senior year that we worked the hardest and had the most fun. We’ll never be able to forget the numerous times that we stayed up at night burning the midnight oil while studying for those English, shorthand, government, or trigonometry tests. Then too, the trip to Charlottesville to the football game, the “Talon”, the Senior play, the trip to Washington, the prom, and our many other wonderful experiences will long be remembered by the Seniors of the class of 1953. — Susan Jones — J. D. Berlin 29 CLASS PROPHECY Ten years have passed since I graduated from high school. Being so tired of the crowded city life after hard work in a test kitchen, I decided to accept the invitation which was extended to me by one of the girls. Her family had rented a cabin near Lake Placid. The night was stormy and we sat before an open fire watching television programs until late. Even after I went to sleep, I seemed to be still watching the screen. But the scene and actors had changed. The Cavalcade of Stars was now the graduates of the Class of ’53. The first person that came into view was Ginger Locke, my neighbor in days gone by, now a very successful model for the Roberta Style Center of New York. She was modeling a dress designed by Mattie LaFollette, one of the best designers in the East. The headquarters of a noted theatrical company in New York comes into view. Susan Jones is directing a Broadway success. Backstage Betty Lou Wiley was the noted make-up artist and Russell Roberson was stage technician. The scene shifted to the Sunny South. I saw Anne Jenkins, who is always having a good time, operating a hotel resort in Florida. Not far from there Carol Pine was seated in the primary depart- ment of an ultra-modern school building, reading a book to the children. I also saw Kenneth Stickley as the head coach for North Carolina State. The scene switches to our Nation’s Capital. In one of the many large offices I saw Joyce Denny as secretary to a United States Senator from Virginia. With the camera picking up other Washington scenes, I saw Pauline Boyd as head secretary for the Hecht Company. In the same office working hard keeping books was Irene Riley. Down the street at 13th and F Streets, the home of Strayer Col- lege, Juanita McDonald was teaching shorthand. Also I found Marie Levi as a secretary in the Penta- gon. Living near Washington, Bill Royston, our star football player, was shown as defense guard for the Washington Redskins. My eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw Betty Jean Gray as private secretary for Clarke Griffith, owner of Griffith Stadium. Then the Kitcheteria came on the screen and I noticed Sara Crim, Goldie Garrett, and Russell Allamong having lunch together. They were talking about their real estate firm and the head of it, J. D. Berlin. Again, a change In the dial and in a mining district of Colorado I recognized Richard Dove nd Charles Richard Suddith now profitably employed as engineers for a gold mining company. Mysteriously, the dial is turned and the picture shifts to a familiar scene — Main Street of Berry- ville. Bobby Bell operator of a truck farm on the Shenandoah River was talking to Johnny Dodson manager of Byrd’s Cannery. They seemed interested in the news of Garfield Royston, who is now owner of his own business firm in Charles Town. They were joined by Martin Grim, manager of the local A P Store. Across the street in the Bank of Clarke were several former F.F.A. members, Milton Nicodemus, Bobby Cooke, Edward Weir, and Bobby Crim, all owners of dairy farms in Clarke, discussing the market prices. Again, the scene shifts — this time to the office of Gegertha Kerns, head nurse at King’s Daughters Hospital in Martinsburg. Relaxing over a cup of tea are Ida Morris and Georgie Renner on the Win- chester Hospital staff. Margaret Jenkins, dietitian at King’s Daughters and Barbara Grove, county nurse from Clarke were in deep conversation. I learned from them that Mary Lou Hibbard and Shirley Stickley had moved to Richmond. Mary Lou has become secretary to the Governor of Virginia and Shirley opened a smart dress shop. A slight turn of the dial brings the campus of V.P.I. and the reunion of the class of ’57. The two I recognized were Margaret Shiley and Billy Peters exchanging notes on their chosen fields — sewing specialist at V.P.I. and surgeon at Johns Hopkins. An airport looms into view and I see Helen Wilson, airline hostess, boarding a huge plane bound for New York. I recognized Ivan Ostrishko getting on the plane, and learned from Helen’s greeting that he was an Interpreter for the Llnlted Nations. I heard two of the passengers talking of the won- derful aviator, Ronald Fuller, who has set a new record at the air races in Cleveland. I was suddenly awakened by the sound of an airplane, and I wondered if maybe the dream could have been true. — Rebecca Ann Ashby 30 LAST WILL AND T ESTAMENT We the Senior Class of 1953, of Clarke County High School, Clarke County, Virginia, being almost of sound mind and memory do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all other wills heretofore made by us.

The team that Coach Cochran put on the field this year had only two men returning from last year’s first team. Only four lettermen returned. But in spite of the greenness, the team distinguished itself. To begin with, a team must have leadership. The Eagles had an excellent leader in Bill Royston, who was elected captain of the team and Kenneth Stickley and Bobby Crim who were elected co-captains. The team got off to a disappointing start, losing a 14-6 thriller to Harpers Ferry. However, they got some revenge by winning the next game against Woodstock, 45-0. One of the highlights of the season was the Musselman game. Musselman had lost only one game and when they came here to play Clarke County, they were three touchdown favorites. The score speaks for itself. Led by a good defense and excellent offense, Clarke won 16-6. As in all sports, the main objective in football is not to win but rather to be good sportsmen and play clean, good, hard football. Bill Royston will be long remembered for his sense of sportsmanship and fair play. But that is not all. He was as strong as a block of granite on defense and just as adept on offense. You might call Bill “a high school All-American”. On offense, the strongest runner was Bobby Crim. Those powerful legs of his churned up many a yard. Bobby was the spark behind the team’s running attack. The two first-string ends were Kenneth Stickley and Bobby Cooke. Although he was not as ex- perienced as Stickley, Bobby played excellent ball. Stickley was not only the team’s high scorer, with 10 touchdowns, good for 60 points, but scored more points than any player in Northern Virginia. Ken- neth was truiy an outstanding end, both on offense and defense. Praise of the team cannot stop with these four. The team as a whole played outstanding ball. Each player is to be commended for his spirit and never-say-die attitude. With the experience gained this year and with the return of 14 lettermen our 1953 team should be one of the best our school has ever produced. The least that can be said is that in the 1952 season, Ciarke County High School had a team of which it could be proud. Compliments of Community Self-Service Center, Berryville, Virginia.
