u NIA s r M e- IQ 19 GIFT OF DIVISION OF EXTENSION I CLARKSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Clarksville Virginia r JR 14 § orewori Come with us for a while and we ' ll take you through the year at our school, to scenes that are so familiar to us—to our classrooms, clubs and organizations, assemblies, the playground, May Day, football, baseball and softball games, parties and even conventions. We are preserving memories, too, because we wish to cherish all these things. Winnie Talbott won the contest for naming the annual bypresenting the name The Golden Leaf . When the name was announced in assembly, everyone seemed highly pleased. We all knew it was the very best name possible because it fitted us so well. Tobacco, the golden leaf is the symbol in tradition and in reality of our locality. We proudly hail our part of Virginia and the golden leaf . And then, too, Winnie says that our annual will be a golden leaf that will grow more precious with the years. tUOFE 2 i, o sJt 6 yxa . V le - t You ' ve watched us come and go to school and you ' ve seen evidence here and there of how we spend our time atClarksville High School. Butwe want you to really know more about the classes, clubs, and many activities thatfill our school year for you are the dear hearts to whom we look for guidance and love. In this first volume of The Golden Leaf we want you to see what goes on at C. H. S. so that you wil I continue to take as much interest in the affairs of the school as you have in the past. It is our earnest wish that the true spirit of our school will be represented in the first vol¬ ume of the 1951 The Golden Leaf . !

As our faith¬ ful teacher and friend he has urged us on to a higher goal and through his loyalty and patience has made the attainment to the goal seem more nearly possible. He has endeared himself to all of us and takes more than just a professional interest in our problems. By his faithfulness and perseverance he has helped to mak e our school life a success. Because he is a wonderful principal and a real friend, we dedicate thisfirst volume of The Gol¬ den Leaf to Mr. Moore. 4 II acu NOBODY KNOWS THE TROUBLE THEY ' VE SEEN W. E.

Remember our freshman year, 1947-48? We were completely bewildered! The strange awe of students hurrying through the halls, the thrill of changing classes, and the ever hard-boiled (our first impression) teachers were not to our liking . By the end of the first semester, we had taken high school in our stride; we began to go to classes late as the high class students did and we managed to get into as much mischief as possible, (well, almost!). Although we didn ' t haveas manyprivi- legesas the upper-classmen, wedid getaway with a lot. Even as freshmen we did have a little social life. There was a Christmas party at E leanor ' s when the boys sat on one side of the room and the girls on the other. 12 Then came 1948-49. They were the years of mine, Oh, yours is pretty, but 1 like mine better. entirely different atmosphere . From past experi¬ This was the memorable day we received our long- ence we learned what to expect and what we could awaited class rings. Something to remember, also. get away with.

We worked hard and we are proud. Proud of Hitch Your Wagon to a Star was our theme and our accomplishments, but most of all proud of our we felt quite proud of the results.

Sponsor This year under the hickory stick of Mrs. Majors, we moved downstairs to be underdogs to the Seniors only. We have worked hard this year to become the sophisticates that we must be next year. Aside from concentrating on our personal growth and behavior, classes, raising money, and many extra-curricula activities have kept us busy. Football practices and games, measuring for rings and dreaming of Christmas kept us busy in the fall. Then came examinations, baseball and soft- ball and the most memorable date of all—our Junior-Senior party on which we lavished time, work and money. It was worth it, too, because everybody looked so pretty and had such a good time. May brought May Day and work to be done. And as usual our class furnished a beautiful part of the court. Commencement plans are under way and we Juniors are all looking forward to our big-shot positions as Seniors.

Tis Clarksville High School Under the leadership of President Bob Chandler the S . C. A. has had a very successful and busy year. The Student Cooperative Association is organized for the purpose of stimulating character growth of pupils and of promoting the general welfare of the school . Each student in high school is a member of the S. C. A. and is given an opportunity to help create an atmosphere in the school home which is conducive to ideals and habits of civil conduct. TheS. C. A. was in charge of assembly programs which were held every Friday. School groups and visiting speakers presented a variety of most enjoy¬ able programs. With Mr. Moore as the teacher, the S. C. A.sponsored a Parliamentary Procedure Class. Our spring months were busy with preparations for the Staunton River District Meeting which was held in our school . We feel that our students and visit¬ ing students derived much good and a great deal of enjoyment from this meeting. With the district meeting behind us, we began to really concentrate on our May Day. Miss Wagstaff directed the activities and with full cooperation from the entire school we presented a May Day that was even more beautiful than our 1950 program. The S. C. A. rounded out a busy year with a tea for the graduating class and faculty. Our S. C. A. is growing and we hope that more and more of our students will turn to the organization as a clearing house for their problems. FROM ANOTHER GOOD SOPHOMORE PRODUCTION R. West, C. Hackney, and M.

Shortnin 1 Bread and Tatter Pie Of course, you get to go to lunch ten minutes early, but—eating hastily, shivering in the cold, getting snappy answers, staying on the job, are some of the drawbacks. It has its good points and its bad points, too, but the members of the lunch patrol have felt that it is a duty and a privilege to serve the student body. The main purpose of our lunch patrol is to carry out the fixed rules and regulations to make our cafeteria a more pleasant place in which to eat. A faculty member is usually head of the lunch patrol, which consists of a captain and six members to patrol the students on the way to the cafeteria as well as in the cafeteria. Mrs. Hite manages our cafeteria. She and her helpers plan and serve us meals that are appetizing as well as wholesome. Captain, Bob Chandler; Faculty Advisor, Mrs. Majors.
