Sometimes we become very discouraged and we wonder if this could be true. But after we have taken our places in the world, may we look through our annual, see loved faces and familiar scenes, and realize that they were right. For their patience when we failed, for their constant help with our annual, and for being such faithful workers, we are proud to ded- icate our 1947 Alleghanian to our co-sponsors Miss Sarah Lupton AND Mr. C.

We love the halls, the rooms, our friends And we know each teacher sends Us from this place with a little prayer That in building the world, we will do our share. We long to work, to strive, to gain. To learn bravely to endure pain; But wherever we go, whatever we do. Dear school, friends, teachers, we ' ll remember you. ■S Senior Superlatives Best Looking Martha Jane Bradley 1 Dicky Drewry JVittiest Peggy Lou Oakes Billy Frederick Most Popular. j Sarah Enos 1 Joe Hutcheson Alost in Love Barbara McGehee Ralph Deaton Friendliest Marie Parthenis I Edward Bradley Best Dancers Joan Larrick Milan Sampson [ 16 ] Senior Superlatives Most Glamorous Hallie Showalter Monty Anderson Cutest Peggy Lou Oakes 1 James Smith Most Athletic Jackie Woodrum I Edward Bradley Best III Around Sarah Enos 1 Billy Rule Most Draviatic ( Grey Holland I Dennis Fairburn Most Studious I Marie Parthenis ( Sidney Hannah [ 17 ] Senior Class History In the year 1943, the Senior Class of 1947 was merely a group of shy, unso- phisticated freshmen. We had little knowledge of what was in store for us. We knew only that four long years lay ahead and that on a certain day at the end of those four years, we would march across the auditorium to receive our diplomas. We chose as our officers for the first year: Ruben Showalter, president; Robert Tucker, vice-president; Martha Jane Bradley, secretary, and Nellie Whitmer, treasurer. Miss Margaret Van Horn guided us through our first trying year, as faculty advisor- As “sophisticated” sophomores, we entered the second year with high hopesof achieving greater things. Jacqueline Woodrum served as our president; JanieGar- land, vice-president; Ralph Deaton, secretary, and Grey Holland, treasurer. Our activities of the year were sponsored by Mrs. Elmo Mitchell. As a means of raising money, the class decided to sponsor a food sale. Each student was responsible for some article of food. With the cooperation of each student, the event proved to be a great success. The year 1946, our junior year, brought with it much work and worry. The task of entertaining the Seniors with the annual prom lay ahead. It was the sincere desire of each member of the class to make the event worthy of remembrance for every senior. With Herbert King as president; Albert Bryan, vice-president; Vlartha Jane Bradley, secretary, and William Frederick, treasurer, the class got off to a flying start. Miss Alary Frances Williams, our sponsor, was an inspiration to each and every one of us. Her untiring efforts contributed greatly to the success of our activities. The months faded away into days and the date of the prom ap- proached. We spent much time in preparation. Special committees were appointed to plan the affair and to decorate the gym. The auditorium was decorated with green and white paper. An arch was formed, and beneath it was a miniature wish- ing well. The senior banquet was held the same evening in the Jefferson Hotel. Place cards and decorations were planned by the juniors. The entire evening was regarded as a success by the participants and the spectators. We, the juniors, sighed with pride as we looked back upon our work; and then we settled down, looking forward to our senior year with expectancy and a little regret. September, 1946, appeared on the calendar a little too soon for many of us. We awaited the opening of the high school doors with a desire to make this, our final year, one which we would always cherish. We adjusted ourselves to the regular routine in due time. At our first class meeting of the year, we elected the following officers to lead us: president, Sidney Hannah; vice-president, Dennis Fairburn; secretary, Jeanine Alorris; treasurer, Carolyn Kirby. The central attraction of our senior year was the prom given to us by the juniors, and we entertained ourselves with a banquet at the Jefferson Hotel. The senior play was a great success. The cast spent many hours in rehearsal, and as a result, the play attracted a large crowd of appreciative patrons. Since we did not have a definite sponsor for the class, our respective home- room teachers, Aliss Alargaret Van Horn and Airs. W . L. Lynn served as faculty advisers. After completion of our extra-curricular activities, we, the Senior Class of 1947, resigned ourselves to studying our final examinations so that the long- dreamed-of and cherished day of graduation might become a reality. Senior Class Will We, the Senior Class, being of sound mind and body, do hereby will and bequeath on this fourth day of June in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, our abilities, peculiarities, and characteristics to our beloved underclassmen. To the Junior Class, we leave our memories of the good times, as well as the few bad times, that we had in our high school career. Monty Anderson leaves his ability to work plane geometry, although he does get a little mixed up in the spelling, to Jim McGavock, who is supposed to be pretty good himself. Any girl who has straight hair falls heir to Dickie Drewry’s curls. We hope only it is the right shade. Barbara McGehee and Ralph Deaton leave to Leo Krimm their ability to make good grades in school and still have a good time. Jackie Woodrum, “Drue” Lair, Nancy Paxton, and Catherine Clark leave their basketball skill to Martha Hall, Nancy Hughson, Mary Ann Scruggs, and Nancy Perry. Joe Hutcheson leaves Air. Hartley a new door for his car. Sarah Enos leaves her driving skill to Marion Emmett, and we hope it will be put to the best of use. Ann LeHew and Harry Woods fall heir to Carolyn Kirby’s and Jimmy Smith’s friendli- ness and wit. “Smoky” Sampson leaves his baseball skill to the whole team next year. There should certainly be enough to go around. The Senior Class leaves Herbie King and Bobby Westerman all their extra credits. Ed Bradley is leaving his football uniform to Billy Joe Meade and we hope he’ll be able to fill it out soon. Martha Jane leaves her title of the best looking girl to Betty Lou Greene. Johnny DeVenny leaves his dimples to Billy Bath. Thomas Hicks leaves his height to Bobby Oakes. Jeanine Morris bequeaths her all-around ability to Ann Rudisill. Dennis Fairburn is happy to leave his long eyelashes to all those girls who like to wink. Bob Gallagher falls heir to Roger Rapp’s masculine voice. Hallie Showalter, Violet Downey, Dorothy Ferguson, and Joyce Gibson bequeath their diamonds to any girl who has matrimonial intentions. Peggy Stock leaves her corny jokes to James Bryan and Bob Bowers. To Marilyn Miller and Phyllis Binion, Joan Larrick and Mary Ann Clarkson leave their green skirts and white cheerleader sweaters, hoping they will cheer a winning team. Peggy Powell, Mary Ann Fisher, Janie Garland, and Evelyn Bayne bequeath their dignity and quietness to next year’s senior class. Sidney Hannah leaves his chemical and mathematical genius to Charlotte Paxton. To Eleanor Deaton, Marie Parthenis leaves her ability of leadership. Grey Holland is proud to leave her fine high school record to her brother, Harold, to keep it in the family. Peggy Lou Oakes, Nellie Whitmer, and Billy Rule leave to all the “gloomy folks” in high school their radiant smiles. Margaret Turk leaves her skill as a library assistant to Ann Wade. [ 19 ] Class Prophecy This Class of ’47 has been through a lot together and now each one is going his way. This prophecy foretells the occupation of each member of this class ten years from now. All of it was written in fun so we hope no one will take offense. Let’s pretend we are looking into a crystal ball and every time we rub it, it reveals a picture of one of our classmates at his or her work. As we rub the globe, a picture of a man about 27 years old, with black hair and very good looking comes into view. He seems to be doing all right. Written on the door of his office is: “Mr. Montague Anderson, Private Architect.” You have to have an appoint- ment with him if you want him to remodel your house. The next time our hands move over the magic ball, we are looking at our old school house. Dear old C. F. H. S. is really going to town. It seems as if no one cares what the students do, and every one is having a grand time. Wait just a minute! No, it couldn’t be, not him! Yep, there he is, Billy Frederick taking it easy in his office which is full of beauti- ful women, plush chairs, fruits, and goodies. Billy pushes a button and a very cute young lady enters. She has brown hair and has grown a little bit since the year of ’47, but she looks about the same. Yes, Peggy Lou Oakes is there too. She is Billy’s private secretary. Another scene is coming into view. It looks like Barbara and Ralph Deaton. My, but don’t they look nice together, and what a happy family! Ralph is now chief engineer for the T. V. A. Marie has gone far since she won that Pepsi-Cola contest. After attending William and Mary, she was asked to stay on and teach her theory of studying. After teaching three years, she decided she didn’t like it and moved to Toledo, Ohio. She now sits in the mayor’s seat and manages Toledo to suit everyone. This crystal ball does wonders! Let’s see what is coming next. A picture of a small cottage in California with Anne Claville and her husband. Jack Sumner, inside. It seems that her first husband, Hubert Smales, went completely out of his mind drawing comic strips and cartoons. As a mortician, Nellie Whitmer is doing a good job. At least nobody has complained. The head nurse at the Clifton and Ohio Railroad Hospital happens to be Evelyn Bayne. All the patients like her and even some get sick just to see her. As I mentioned in the last paragraph, the C. O. is the Clifton and Ohio Railroad Co. The president of the C. O. is Richard Clark, who does nothing except give orders. Jeanine Morris has been going places too, for she is one of the nation’s top pin-up girls and an exclusive Powers model. Nancy Paxton is her companion and secretary, and very efficient. The pool business has picked up in Clifton now since James Scruggs bought out Doc Liptrap. He also has extensions in Low Moor and Richpatch. Joe Peaco is his partner. The money situation in Clifton Forge is becoming serious now. It seems that every- one’s funds are getting low since Dennis Fairburn took over the banks. Speaking of serious situations, here is a dilly. C. F. H. S. has been blown wide open because of laboratory experiments. Sarah Enos has been teaching Chemistry and she is doing a good job of producing explosions. Margaret Turk decided to keep her job at Newberry’s after she got married and it was a good thing she did. She has been promoted to Manager of Newberry’s and gives away a free bag of candy with each 3.00 purchase. In the field of sports, Clifton Forge High School is on top. This excellent report is due to “Smokey” Sampson’s supervision of both the girls’ and boys’ teams. 120 ] Class Prophecy The mayor’s chair has been taken over by Sidney Hannah. He has been rebuilding Clifton ever since he has been in office and it has spread another mile. In the city itself, he has installed fountains that spurt Coca-Cola instead of water. As everyone expected, Billy Rule is running his father’s furniture store. He is now trying to persuade Principal Frederick to buy plush seats for the students instead of those old hard desks. Jackie Woodrum is having a grand time playing in all the National Basketball Games. She has won many championship cups. Peggy Stock has worked three years as a traveling saleswoman and expects a pro- motion soon. She has traveled all over the world and is now enjoying herself in Florida. It’s too bad Joanne Larrick wasn’t owner of the Clifton Forge Bottling Works ten years ago, because she is now giving free contributions to that struggling refreshment committee in the Beta Club. Martha Jane Bradley, now wife of General Albert Bryan, is living in Washington, D. C. Airs. Bryan often visits the White House to see her old schoolmate, Ed Bradley, who now holds the high position of President of the United States. Emory Font finally reformed. He’s the minister of the Baptist Church. The member- ship has increased considerably. Some people have to see this miracle for themselves. Joyce Gibson owns the Courtesy Store and she has changed it a lot. They sell hard- ware instead of groceries. Wonder if she makes any profit that way. After an unhappy love life, Drue Lair decided to let others profit by her experience. She has a program on the air which concerns love troubles; how to get a man and keep him. She calls it, “If you’re ever in a jam, here I am!” The Gypsy Tavern has changed its name to Joe’s Joint since the place was bought by Joe Hutcheson. Joe hired the Glovers to referee all fights. Mary Anne does all the work because Bob is busy at Big League. She is a better bouncer anyway. All these marriages are getting me down. Peggy Powell is married too. She lives in Cliftondale Park and runs a little antique shop. The teen-agers are all excited over the new “Casbah” man, Richard Drewry. Don’t you think he makes a good one. (Cashbah man, I mean.) Roger Rapp is running all of the movies in Clifton and is doing a fine job. He gets all of Warner Brothers’ and Walt Disney’s Cartoons. He has built two new movies and calls them. Rats, I mean Rapps, Inc. Air. Mitchell has been shown by Grey Holland that studies aren’t everything. Be- cause of her interest in psychology. Grey took up the profession as her career. She now treats psychopathic cases at Happy Dale in Staunton, Va. Johns Hopkins Hospital has been greatly relieved of its work since Betty Durvin has given her services to that institution. After graduating, Thomas Hicks decided to become a great Rodeo rider. He moved to Texas and became a rustler. After escaping the law seven or eight times, he joined a Rodeo. At first he had to take a job as a waterboy but he was allowed to ride a wild broncho. He is now known as Wild Tom Hickok. If it’s money you need, look up Johnny DeVenny. He has a loan shop all his own. He named it “DeVenny Pawn Shop.” His motto is, “The dump to place your junk.” Gerald Thomas made history during his school year and gave everyone something to talk about. He hasn’t done much since then but raise a family. His poems have become few and far between but when he does write, he writes good stuff. 1. “That pest! 2. “ IVhere ' s the rest of us? 3. “Si, Si, Senorita! 4. “Is he safe? 5. “ The ‘ scrub’ women. 6. “ Homeward bound.

They did not win a single game and played only one scoreless tie. But I do not think it was the most unsuccessful season in their history. The school spirit here has been gradually falling down in recent years. At the beginning of this session, it appeared to be even worse than before. Then came the strike with all of its consequences. Alost of the football players were suspended from further extra-curricular activities. Mr. Crawford asked for volunteers to bolster the team so that it could finish the season regardless of the odds. Many boys responded to this appeal and a new team was organized. Our first game played by our new and inexperienced team was with Staunton. We were not conceded to have a chance to win that game. And we did not win it. But the boys, after only two days’ practice, ac- quitted themselves magnificently. The final score was Staunton-19, Clifton Forge-o. I think that I can safely say that more school spirit by far was shown at that game than any of the preceding ones this season. Next came our traditional game with Covington, our ancient rival. Covington had one of the best teams in her history, while Clifton Forge, relatively speaking, had a team of midgets. When our team took the field, they had had little more than a week’s practice. But they had something more, for backing them in that game were the students of Clifton Forge High School one hundred per cent strong. Our team tried valiantly. Back of them in that game were all the fine traditions of other Clifton Forge-Covington games. The final score was Covington-56, Clifton Forge-o. The last game of the season and the third for the new team was with Lexing- ton. They won, 44 to 7. That we scored in that game appears to me to be a distinct honor and credit to our team’s fighting spirit. Any school can back a winning team. But it takes good sports to champion a loser. We undoubtedly had more spirit in those games than we have had for a very long time, much too long. I sincerely hope that in the years to come the stu- dents of this school will look back upon our 1946 team with pride. It may be re- membered here and in other places as our worst, but by our own people it will be proudly recalled as the team that gave us new hope at a troubled time and as a fighting outfit that will go down in the football history of Western Virginia as famous for its courage and stamina against unbeatable odds. — By Charlie Magee [ 42 ] 1946 Football Squad Mr. Walter C.

Goodbar [ 66 ] 2,500 Years Ago Wlien the youth of Athens reached the age of eighteen, they took an oath of allegiance to their citv . . . “We will never bring disgrace to onr city by any act of dishonesty and cowardice . . . We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many. We will revere and obey the city’s laws and do our best to incite a like respect and reverence in those about us who are prone to annul or set them at naught. We will strive increasingly to quicken the public’s sense of civic duty; and thus in all these ways, we transmit this city not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.” perhaps more than in all the years since ancient Athens, there is a crying need for the courage of young minds . . . ready and willing to help in civic affairs ... so that better cities can make better nations . . . and better nations a decent and just world. We are confident that the graduates of this school “will transmit this city . . . better and more beautiful” than it was transmitted to them. To each, we extend our congratulations and best wishes.
