TlPli it., jJ t- ' A To Dur Parents It’s hard for us to understand the love our parents feel for us, for everything we do, every honor we win, each mistake we make, and each event and incident that takes place in our childhood and through the years of maturity. No one enjoys more seeing us happy and no one suffers more for us in the dark moments than do Mom and Dad. We often hurt most those we love the best; still they choke back their feelings and guide us on. Some day, while passing down the road of life, we may realize the love of a parent. Now, we can but grow and learn and try to understand. Thus, for the tears shed and heartaches endured, and for their everlasting hope for our success and happiness, do we dedicate this book; that it may lessen some of the burdens we hang on them and add to the many joys and lasting happiness that they enjoy with us. u- MJ Jiy UUboAJ. cyy- a JU ny’ Contents 0 Page Faculty 5 Seniors 7 Lower Classes 21 Athletics 29 Clubs 41 Ads 53 2 Principal Clifton Forge High School MR.

To Mary Phillips, Betty Mae Rose and Loretta Clark leave their naturally curly hair. Eddie Truitt and Elwood Bayne fall heir to Benny Smith and Ronnie Drewry’s position on Farrar’s corner.

Barbara Sink and Patty Lowman will keep their diamonds but will leave to Carolyn Riddlebarger their tech- nique.

Sherman Thurston and Richard Goodbar fall heir to Peter Kelly’s dignified ways. Martha Smith and Phyllis Taylor leave to all the lonley hearts of C. F. H. S. their many boyfriends.

Given under our hand and seal this the 8th day of June, 1953 THE SENIOR CLASS OF 53’ 16 CLASS Think back across the years ivith me Those years that seemed so slow, Those days to work and play and plan And hope and dream and grow. We welcomed the eighth grade joyfully. Our dreams were coming true The dreams we’d dreamed for seven years, Of those days we’d looked forward to. POEM Our freshman and our sophomore years Were very much the same. More English, history, science, or math With an occasional football game. We worked so hard our junior year. And, as all good Juniors do. We staged the loveliest prom of all For the class of ’32 Now we all stand at an open door. A life’s out there, we haven’t begun; And we can all look back on our high school days As theq rst ig job vj ’ve done. ■ ’r V t- ' V I • ' r 5 V CUTEST Elva Lee Hanlin Benny Smith BEST ALL AROUND Carolyn Hodges Benny Rudisill MOST SCHOOL SPIRITED Barbara Golladay Bob Hawkins BEST FIGURE AND BEST PHYSIQUE Dorothy Riddle Bill LeHew 18 BIGGEST FLIRT v Dorothy Riddle Robert Mundy MOST SARCASTIC Barbara Drewry Bob Hawkins MOST DIGNIFIED Jo Ann Abbott Peter Kelly 19 MOST STUDIOUS Katherine Thurston Peter Kelly MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED f. .

The loss knocked undefeated Buena Vista from the top of the District 5 ladder and proved to be the one game that kept them from winning the championship. When Clifton Forge dumped Parry McCluer, Lexington as- cended to the top spot in our district. The next week the Mountaineers traveled to Lexington for their second straight battle with an undefeated team. Two spectacular fourth down, fourth quarter touchdown passes gave the never-say-die Green and Gold a thrilling 13-6 win over the Scarlet Hurricane and burst their championship bubble. These two games were the climax to one of the best football seasons Clifton Forge has had in ten years. The Mountaineers, with only two returning lettermen, won six out of nine games and almost won two others. Co-captains George Greaver and Bill LeHew were the sparkplugs as the Mountaineers defeated Central to open the season, lost two close, hard fought games to Harrisonburg and Waynesboro, and came back to win five in a row before dropping the season ' s finale to Covington. The success of the team came mainly from the fighting spirit and brilliant teamwork of the players. Every victory except one came by the margin of one touchdown as the big green outfought every opponent until the last game when Covington’s manpower wore them down after three quarters of constant pound- ing. The Cougars won this game 26-6. The season opened as Clifton Forge gained a 13-6 win over rival Central. This game, played in the mud at Memorial Park, was much more lopsided than the score indicates. The next two weeks, Clifton Forge lost two close games when comeback attempts bogged down. Harrisonburg scored twice in the first quarter and spent the next three periods fight- ing of the aroused Mountaineers. Bobby Eanes scored on a pass from LeHew but the Green couldn’t push over another tally and lost 12-6. The next week Waynesboro built up a 19- 0 lead; but the Mountaineers scored three times in the final period and the Little Giants had Coach Laughlin George Greaver Co-captain Most valuable lineman Bill LeHew Co-captain Most valuable back to push over another score to eke out a 26-19 win. LeHew, Richard Smith, and Eanes all scored in the wild last period, but the Waynesboro lead was too big to overcome. LeHew then sparked the Green and Gold as they started their win streak with victories over Valley High and Natural Bridge, both by a 12-6 score. Clifton Eorge had to employ their vaunted spread formation to push over a fourth quarter score and dump Natural Bridge. LeHew scored twice against the Rockets and once aganst Valley. Eddie Truitt made the winning six points against Valley High. The next game, the Mountaineers built up their only big score of the year in smashing Staunton 47-0. Benny Rudisill scored twice and a quartet of other backs, along with end Duane Shelton, also hit paydirt to run up the lopsided score. Two other unmentioned factors caused the Mountaineers to upset the pre-season dope bucket this year: Coach Jim Laughlin and the seven players across the forward wall. The play of the linemen was the difference in all six of the wins, and it was brilliant in the other three games. Senior guards Benny Smith and Joe Booth, center Dickie Gorman, tackle Louis Houff, and ends Ray Corron and Shelton, along with the invaluable Greaver, gave the opposing line a rough game of it ail the way. Coach Laughlin was the inspiration of the team throughout the year. He worked the players so hard at first that about 15 dropped from the squad ; from then on, however, he had his ball club, and his top notch coaching and popularity with the players turned out to be the number one reason for the Green and Gold having the winning season. In the coaching and scouting department, however, he got plenty of valuable assistance from Mr. Meblhaff, the assistant coach. 3! 32 CFHS OtP- 6 12 26 6 j 0 6 6 26 Wins Sportsmanship The final climax to the season came in early December after all the games and banquets were over. The Civitan Club of Roanoke announced that our school had won their annual sportsmanship award. The trophy, pictured here, is in the library, and it will remain there until some other school wins it next year. If we can win it three years in succession, CFHS will get to keep it permanently. The winning of the award is the highest sportsmanship honor ever attained by Clifton Forge High School. It is a great honor to our school and football fans, who together earned and won it; and who, next year, will try to keep it. Shown above receiving the award are co-captains George Greaver and Bill LeHew, Mr. King, and Coach Laughlin. If there can be any individuals responsible for our winning the trophy, these four deserve the credit: Coach, Moose”, and Shoulders” with their leadership of and inspiration to the ball players on and off the field, and Mr. King with his constant prodding and reminding us to remember our manners. r- Award 33 Cheerleaders Left to right — Kaki Paj ' ne, Carolyn Hodges, Connie Michael.

The team was well-balanced with speed, height, and strong reserves. A spurt of erratic playing in the latter half of the campaign was the only thing that prevented them from going through the regular season undefeated; but other than during this period, CFHS out- played and decisively defeated all opponents. The climax of the season came at Lexington on March 3 when the Mountaineers played the Harrison- burg Blue Streaks, state champions for 1952, in the District 5 tournament. It was the third time in the last SIX years that the Green and Gold has earned an invita- tion to the tourney, and each time they have played and lost to Harrisonburg. This time the score was 53-40. The Mountaineers made a ball game of it for three quarters, but in the last period the winners pulled away and built up their margin of victory. CFHS got off to a flying start at the beginning of the year, winning eight straight before their first loss. During this streak they defeated every team on the schedule once. The lid-opener with Waynesboro was one of the most im- pressive wins as the Green and Gold triumphed 50-43. The Mountaineers then dumped Central 54-37 and Wilson Memo- rial 48-39- Lexington and the Alumni came next ; and they had no trouble dumping the Scarlet Hurricane 56-36 and the old grads 58-35. A fourth quarter outburst at Staunton’s expense gained them their sixth victory, a 62-49 win. Two nights later Valley High fell 46-28 and the next week the first half of the season was completed with a 47-46 win over Natural Bridge. The Mountaineers then proceeded to lose three of the next four games. Central, before the largest crowd of the season at the Armory, put an unceremonious halt to the winning streak by walking off with a 46-42 victory handed them by the free-fouling Green and Gold. They seemed to remain stunned the next week as Wilson Memorial topped them 55-44. This was their only conference loss. , tt , Captain Ray Corron . . Coach Hartley CFHS momentarily revived to trounce Natural Bridge 64-28, but lost to Valley by an humiliating 53-35. At Valley the Green and Gold could do nothing right for three periods, but the Mountaineers woke up in the fourth frame. It was too late to win the Valley encounter, but they stayed on the rebound to drop Staunton, Lexington, and Waynesboro and finish the season in a flourish. The final game victory over Waynesboro was a stirring 58-38 triumph. Sophomore Richard Smith was the team’s leading scorer with 181 points in fifteen games. He was the only player to average over 10 markers per game. 120 of his points came in the last seven games as he sparked the team in the last two weeks and in the tournament. Ray Corron and Eddie Truitt were next in the scoring department with 148 and 146 respectively. Morgan Owen also topped the century mark with an even 100 markers and Bob Hawkins just missed with 99. As an indication of what to expect next year, the top four scorers of this year, along with center Eddie Meadows, will all be back. Hawkins, Benny Smith, Benny Rudisill, Van Sessoms, and George Greaver, along with Bill LeHew who graduated at mid-term, were all seniors. The Junior Varsity won four of six games, their only losses being to Covington. They defeated Eagle Rock and Central once each and Lexington twice. Bill and Bob Stinespring and Duane Shelton led the team in scoring and all-around playing ability. Mrs. Siple’s Mountainettes wound up with a 5-6 won-lost mark, but they ended the season with three straight wins. They won only two of their first eight games, but improved tremendously during the latter part of the year. Carole Lawler and Joyce Howard were almost the whole show offensively. Joyce scored 162 points and Carole followed closely with 150. Dorothy Riddle was a distant third with 69. Elva Lee Hanlin an Charlotte Brown led the guards defensively. 38 Kneeling — Elva Hanlin, Dorothy Riddle, Peggy Gilliland, Charlotte Brown, Joyce Howard, Carole Lawler, Ethel Mae Grimes, Barbara Broughman.
