Clarksville High School - Golden Leaf Yearbook (Clarksville, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1953 volume:

u 41 A GIFT OF DIVISION OF EXTENSION GOLDffl Lfflf CLARKSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL CLARKSVILLE, VIRGINIA The Staff hopes with this publication of THE GOLDEN LEAF of 53 to bring you enjoyment now-to awaken fleeting mem¬ ories later. As the scenes on this page depict the swiftly mov¬ ing hours of an average school lay so the many scenes on these many pages picture the highlights of a school year. As you slow¬ ly turn the pages in the years to come, may each of you, especially each Senior of ' 53, remember not only friends and teachers and sweethearts, work and study, sports and fun, but courage and faith, truth and loyalty-all things which make us cherish the days at C. H. S. ZJQ. + QEDICftTIOn We, the students, lovingly dedicate this annual to the Seniors of 1953 and hope that it will keep alive memories of happy student days at Clarksville High. Through years of association with you, we have grown to love you, your seriousness, and your gaiety. You have contributed much to the school in studies, in sports, and in club activities. We shall miss you, and, as we say au revoir, it is our hope that the best of all things will come to each of you. 4 BB PWM| ■ □ SB! CLARKSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL MR. A. B.

In turning back through the pages of your memories so many things stand out about that class of ' 53-What ' s that? You ' ve forgotten about those four important years of your lives spent at Clarksvi I le High? Then it ' s time for you to settle back in that easy chair and let me remind you- For some of you those four years sped by all too soon; for others, they ' ve seemed an eternity. But for all of you, I think 1 can safely say that there ' 11 never be another fouryears just like those past. Your freshman year was one you had long awaited, and you found the teachers, the cur¬ ricula, the activities, and the routine of high school just a oit different. Itseems only yester¬ day that Miss Walker and Mr. Swartz took you under their wings. You soon learned the ropes and sailed through the year with Gregory Taylor and Danny Reams as your capable presidents. By the way, had you forgotten the high light of the year? Of course-- ' twas the costume party at Halloween in the Taylor ' s tobacco warehouse. By September, 1950, you were the all¬ knowing Sophomores, and you elected Margaret Ann Fuller and Baxter Huss to serve you as pres¬ idents. Under the sponsorship of Miss Walker and Mrs. Woltz you leveled off with a Halloween party at Hi I Itop Inn (you real ly seemed to go for Hal loween, didn ' t you?) and an end-of-school party at the ball park. Remember too how proud some of you girls were as commencement ushers? By now you should be remembering almost as wel I as I-As Juniors, your class had dwindled in size. Rita Hite and Maxine Jones presided over you with the aid of your sponsors. Miss Walker and Miss Fahringer. You launched off on a money-making campaign for the Junior-Senior Banquet under the direction of Miss Wagstaff -- and what a gala banquet you gave those Seniors at the Country Club, or should I say Club ' 52 with the idea that Every night is Senior night. Also memorable of this year was the trip you made to Richmond with the senior class to visit a session of the General Assembly. I especial ly remember how thrilled you were when your class rings came, and it was with pride that you shared in the graduation activities that June. Your fondest memories should be those of your Senior year— ' 52- ' 53. Glenna Tillotson, the proud president of the largest graduating class in years, led you toward your goal and motto, Aimhigh—reach higher. 11 Clarksville ' s Red Terrors boasted some fine Senior boys, who, under Captain Mickey Moore and Co-Captain Pat Winston, helped bring success and victory in the first Homecoming Football game at C.H.S. when Shirley Daniels reigned as Homecoming Queen. While you are reminiscing of these happy days, you might pause long enough to recall other fine leaders of your distinguished class. As president of the S.C.A. Gregory Taylor was always poised and diplomatic, whi le Aline Sadler was the Beta Club ' s capable president. Weren ' t you proud when the Dramatic Club elected your talented Shirley Glasscock president? The F.H.A. and the F.F.A. worked toward their goals with Jean Griffin and J . D. Ful ler as their respective leaders. Without the efficientand persevering efforts of Rita Hite and Margaret Ann Fuller THE GOLDEN LEAF would never have been the splendid yearbook that you now cherish with the dearest of your highschool treasures. It was with much loyalty and devotion that THE GOLDEN LEAF for ' 53 was dedicated to the Senior Class. Career Day inBoydton with all of the Seniors from the county brought you to a clearer real¬ ization of the future. Your sponsors, Mrs. Shep¬ pard and Miss Hite, chanted, The show must go on, as you struggled to produce your play, Off The Track, despite epidemics of appen¬ dicitis and flu. Fol I owing the sumptuous Junior-Senior Ban¬ quet when the Class of ' 54 were royal hosts, the King and Queen of May, Pat Winston and Shirley Glasscock, triumphantly reigned over festivities representing the United Nations. Then the days passed quickly and before you realized it you were walking down the aisle blinking back those inevitable tears and holding that coveted diploma tightly in your hand. Spirit of C.H.S.

We started our activities by sponsoring a Baby Contest to raise money for our Junior-Senior Banquet. The contest was a huge success. With the approach of December we began gala plans for our Christmas party at the Country Club. With the assistance of our Sponsor, Mrs. Hughes, we had a very enjoyable party. Then we ordered our rings and after impatiently waiting a long while, we received them. After many ahs and oos with some brief confusion, a few stern glances sent us again on our way. Having given a lovely banquet long to be remembered by the seniors, and having struggled through final exams, we com¬ pleted the year by singing at the baccalaureate service. Now the twenty-seven re¬ maining members of an original class of more than fifty are looking forward to next year when we will be the honored Seniors . 22 Billy Arrington James Averette B. F.

It is the focal point of ail our school activities and its aims embody those of all the other clubs: citizenship, recre¬ ation, cooperation, self-improvement, and health. Led by Greg, our president, we have completed a very successful year with our May Day, centered around the United Nations, being our most outstanding project. We have been pleased with the wide variety of our assembly programs, ranging from educational and inspiring talks to frivolous plays. Delegates from our school attended both the Staunton River District meeting and the S.C.A. Convention at Mary Washington College. We brought a busy year to a close with a tea for the graduating class. This page is sponsored by SANDY FORK ESSO STATION Buffalo Junction, Virginia 30 SITTING LEFT TO RIGHT: A. Brown, M. Fuller, L.

It has undertaken many worth-while projects and met with success in each of them. It recommends: 1 . Knowledge of law and order 2. Leadership and fellowship 3. Cooperation 4. Morale 5. Self-reliance It directs all activities in the school, including the work of the Buildings and Grounds Committee and Fire Patrol. The purpose of the student government is not only to get things done, such as to prevent running in the corridors, to keep shrubbery from being trampled, or to r estore lost notebooks, but also to teach students self-control, self-government, and democratic ways of living. This gives students practice in making carefully considered choices and carrying out their own de¬ cisions. It accustoms them to accepting responsibility and gives them practice in making and carrying out their own laws. Experience in self-government prepares the students to take an active and intelligent part as adults in democratic government in the community, state and nation.

Two years ago the Town Safety Patrol was organized and this has proved very worth while. They are seen diligently work¬ ing before and after school directing traffic and assisting boys and girls crossing the streets. There are two patrolmen on each bus and their duty is to maintain lawand order on the bus going to and from school. Their faithfulness and determination to do the job well has been re¬ cognized among the students and we owe them a great deal of grati¬ tude . KNEELING, L. TOR.: J. Beasley, G. Yancey, F.
