This being our first attempt to present to the public in this form a representation of our school career, we ask that your criticism be not too severe. It is our earnest desire to present to you in this meagre way a glimpse into the toils and joys of our High School journey, and in so doing we have tried to give each class its fair apportionment. We sincerely hope that you may find much pleasure in these pages and that the HUNTINGTONIAN will sink deep into your sympathetic nature and create a greater love and interest for Huntington and all that makes for educational advancement in the community.

The students, the faculty, and patrons of Hunt- ington High School were cast into the depths of mourning and sorrow, because of the untimely death of their teacher, co-worker and friend, Miss Camille Young, who passed into the Great Beyond on the six- teenth day of February, at her home in Washington, IDE (0 5 Efficient and enthusiastic as a teacher, helpful and co-operative as a colleague, loyal and lovable as a friend, it will be a long time before we look on her like again. Stricken in the bloom of her young womanhood, when life held out to her such fair promises for the future, we mingle tears with those of her parents and relatives and submit in all humanity to the omniscent willof Him who does all thing swell.

We must ascend the ladder of Success round by round. We may try to jump from the bottom over each round to the top, but the chances are we will fall and fall hard. Let us look into this Ladder of Success, ponder over it carefully and attribute to each letter in Ladder to Success some fitting noun. We find in Ladder: Labor, Adversity, Duty, Diligence, Energy and Right and in Success: Sacrifice, Usefulness, Constancy, Carefulness, Economy, Sagac- ity, and Self-Control. “Labor ipse Voluptas.” Labor itself, is a pleasure, says a noted pro- verb, and if we look at it in th at light, labor will also conquer everything. That is, the first thing we must do as a necessary round to success; labor and labor hard. Although the way may seem dark and dreary, we must simply press onward and upward. We must meet with adversities. In picking the roses look out for the thorns. Adversity is a great thing to- wards helping us to be successful. If life were a calm sea with us always we would soon become self-complacent, we should not be satisfied with our present conditions, and, therefore, get nowhere. Adversity is the thing that will make us appreciate success. Our sense of duty to God and man will be sharpened. We will find that in order to overcome adversity we must do our duty. Let us keep in mind that it is our duty to give God praise for His blessings. We should remember that it is in the hollow of His hand that we are standing, that it is by His guidance we attain success. Duty to our fellow-men is very important. Our duties as citizens are many and too numerous to mention in this small space. Diligence also plays a prominent part in this ladder to success. In order to be successful we must be assiduous only to those things which go for the betterment of our circumstances. Then we must-have and retain energy to overcome these surrounding hindrances. We also must be energetic in doing right. When we do right religion comes into play. Success cannot be had unless we remember the Omnipotent Ruler. We may think we have made a success without His aid but we have not. Soon our air castles will begin to totter and fall. Anything that is successmul will not fall. So, let us remember to do right, for when we do right success is ours. Now that we have climbed the ladder round by round and success is now looking us in the face, let us consider the next steps to take. After we shall have reached the top of the ladder to success, let us pause a while (15) = 0455 19289 THE HUNTINGTONIAN a Se and see what is necessary to do in order to retain our position. Things that seem to be prosperous for a while and then fall are not successful for successful things cannot fall. It was a successful day with the Jews as they thought, when they crucified the Prince of Peace, but these dreams of success were shattered when on the third day Christ arose, making Christianity triumphant. In order to be sure of success we must sacrifice our dreams of Щи ure until the actuality of the thing is revealed. Successful men of ol sacrificed even their lives for the sake of others. Some sacrificed their time, money and other things that were of value to them. What did this Sacrifice mean? It meant that these men were given over to дет ПИ They were not useful in order to get fame. Service is what SA these lives. Let us maintain constancy in our usefulness. Ве stable EC firm in those things that are right and go to make success. To be да ful we must let carefulness be a part of us. We must feel a responsibili | on ourselves; the welfare of others should be our interest as well as ou own welfare. t Success is not selfish. In order to be sure of success we should le M | economy have its share in our program. We cannot be spendthrifts and | retain prosperity. Sagacity is the quality which is very important. i | Wise in our undertakings. Do not be overcome with fickleness. We ne E to be keen minded in order to have a practical judgment of thos things that are best for us. Then self-control is a big factor in success. If we cannot have self-control then success is not ours. If you are striving to meet success, Never look behind you; Fortune will favor your efforts, Unless you Stop to look behind. Keep in mind this motto true, Always with Success in view, Never look behind you. J. JACKSON BALLOU. (16) 1926 THE HUNTINGTONIAN Some Facts Concerning The New Huntington High School This building will contain twenty-five rooms, including an auditorium, laboratories in chemistry and domestic science, a library, principal’s office, teachers' rest room, and a hospital room. The auditorium will seat five hundred people, and will be equipped with a motion picture machine. Seven hundred students can be comfortably housed in this building. The structure is fire-proof throughout. The site on which the building is located is one of the most beautiful in the state and consists of more than seven and one-half acres of ground. Three acres of this site will be used for a park and playground. (17) THE HUNTINGTONIAN LO Э THE HUNTINGTONIAN WHAT WE MISSED The Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twenty-three, the first graduating class of Huntington High School, like those who would be pioneers in any field of endeavor, whether it be those who journey to some distant and dreary wilderness or those who establish the smallest institu- tion within that community. Those who go first must be determined to en- dure many hardships in order that they may overcome the numerous ob- stacles that must of necessity confront every effort of man in its infancy. It rests with the Pioneer to establish traditions and customs which will not only go towards perfecting these organizations for themselves, but the gen- erations of those who follow might receive the benefit of their labor, and so the Pioneer endures the log cabin that those who follow might build in its stead a mansion. The frame building in which this class has done its work has none of the outward appearances of a modern high school. Its equipment is very limited, without playground or laboratory, but with these handicaps there has been perfected an institution with its organizations and a form of government which would do credit to any high school, and more, this institution will enter a beautiful new building next year with its large airy class rooms, playground, laboratory, and spacious auditorium. This magnificient new building is what the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-three will miss. But we are proud of the fact that whatever the future of Huntington may be, we are the Pioneers, and have established traditions and customs and helped in the perfecting of an institution that has been and will continue to be a Beacon Light of Knowledge in our community. J. Е. CRAWLEY. (19) The Student Council was organized February 18, 1923, for the purpose of : E assist- ing the Faculty in fostering school spirit and maintaining general good conduct among the students. The organization, although a new one, has worked well, and each member f th за È Council of '28 earnestly hopes that the organization of '24 will function even bett etter. Among the many good things accomplished by the Council are a general clean : Aor can ai campaign, purchase of equipment for the baseball team, doing patrol duty in the hall alls, and sponsoring closer co-operation between teachers and students.

That purpose was to get a high school education. Here we found some- thing entirely new to Newport News—a room presided over by a high School teacher— Miss Sanders, from Wilberforce University. This room was called Dunbar High School. All plunged into the work with an earnestness and zeal that we had never before dreamed we could muster. After enduring hardships (?) for only one term, six of our flock, namely, Misses Addie Mason, Virginia Marrow, Estella Scott, Hellena Holman, Irena Percy and Virginia Hender- Son, decided that life was too short and time too precious to be spent so seriously, so they set sail on commercial seas, only jumping from the fry- ing-pan into the fire. Although they dropped out, we contniued with our work successfully. The happiest event during our first year was, when Miss Sanders presented a picture to our class as a token of her esteem and remembrance of us. With our number reduced to forty-six, we returned in 1920 to wel- come our new principal in the Joseph Parker School, now called by the beloved name— Huntington. We felt that we had suffered a great loss in the departure of Miss Sanders, but we soon realized that she had a worthy successor. This year was an eventful one. As I look back at it now, it Seems as if it was a period of stern preparation for the glorious years which were to follow. Among the eventful happenings of the year, was the formation of the girls and boys basketball teams, the formation of a formidable football team, and above all, our double victory in debate, Which made Huntington champion of Tidewater high schools. In all of these activities members of our class played the leading parts. The stu- dents immediately became accustomed to the methods that our new Principal—Prof. Palmer and our new teachers, Misses Camille Young, Mabel Thomas, and Mrs. Bassette, presented. We had a larger number to enroll than the number tha tdiscontinued. There were seven that came from Lynchburg, and fifteen others came from other schools. The closing exercises were presided over by Mrs. Bassette, Miss Young and Prof. Palmer. It was a grand closing and every one enjoyed it. The program was rendered at the Lincoln Theatre. The day after the closing we took a trip to the beach, after which we went to our respective homes, for the remainder of the summer.

Now Miss Barney and Mr. Crawley are the leading characters in our class. They deserve credit for their splendid work the last two years. There came to our school also, three teachers, namely, Making a total of seven teachers. The most versatile teacher during our third year was Mr. Lissimore, and under his direction a splendid cantata was presented for our closing exercise. It was so well rendered that he and the participants won deserved praise from the whole city. On June the 10th, we parted, to return to Huntington and to work аз а senior class in September. ; “To be a Senior—Oh, what a pleasure!” inform some bewildered and uneasy Junior tha stairs, or to lead her in imagination through just as we were once led.

Although Miss Young died gallantly working for us, we soon realized that she had a worthy successor, Miss Ethel Pannell, who started to work without hesitating a moment. There were three more, trying to carry out the plans of Prof. Palmer. ‘There were three more, who came to join our faculty. They are, Misses Mayme Abrams, Helen Gould, and Mr. W. A. Miller. Among our relations, we found that there was more truth than poetry in the old adage, “Little but mighty, emphasized in the personality of one who guided us through the numerous problems in Mathematics. А1- though we must admit that many of us knew practically little of mathe- matics until we were skillfully led through the main avenues opened to us in this field, we confess that we were forced to believe that his day began with “trig” and ended with “logs.” No matter how hard the problems were or how blue one chanced to be, we knew that before the week ended that there would be at least two tests whenever the startling commands, “Sit down Miss, “Talk Miss, “Take your time, or “Pass on, brought us out of our mathematieal . reveries; smiles involuntary spread over our faces— smiles very often to be hastily withdrawn by the one astounding word “Order,” emphasized by vigorous raps upon the desk. Sometimes forgetting the dignity of our calling we would stroll along from one class to the other, only to be met on the steps by an angry but forgiving teacher and hastily ushered into our respective places in the class room. Our class organization has been one to be remembered for its unity within and its loyal school spirit without. Much of this has been due to the influence of the president, Miss Lula Jordan. Now comes the pathetic conclusion. The class is still united, but in a few weeks its members will separate, most of them to further their edu- cation in other schools. Аз we pause upon the dividing ground between two eras in our lives and and look over varied experiences of our high school career with its bouyancy, and its pleasures, its rivalries, and am- bitions, its duties and generous friendships, we cannot avoid a feeling of sadness that comes with the thought of our parting. There is one thought however, which should be uppermost in our minds, dispelling the gloom of present sadness and suffusing with a golden glow the morning sky of the future. The influence of our high school days has left a lasting im- print upon our minds and hearts. It has become the guiding principle in our lives, it molds our character and shapes our destinies. Our life's work lies before us. The hours of the present are golden and the memory of the happy days that we have spent together will ever brighten our pathway, as we press with confident and hopeful promise into the future and so parting with a. cordial weleome for those who come after us say, God bless our Alma Mater and our class. |, : DE As we leave you we are not forgetful of the fact that “Т� е Elevator to Success is Not Running, so We are Taking the Stairs.” LILLIE SMITH. (39) THE HUNTINGTONIAN 1923 The Last Will and Те� о he Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Three We, the dignified Seniors of the first and only Senior Class of the Huntington High School, located in the city of Newport News, the State of Virginia, County of Warwick; being of sound body, but weak of mind, and confused of memory, do hereby ordain and publish this, our last will and testament. We order and direct this, our last will and testament. We order and direct that our heirs receive these, our parting gifts, with . good natured humor, but in solemnity and reverence for in such spirit ‘they are given: Upon you, trembling Juniors, we the suffering specimens of humanity about to be released from misery, bestow the dignity and grace, which we have so tragically lacked, in order that you may rid Huntington High School of your most obnoxious presence by 1924, and give Professor Palm- er a little rest, for it is you who are worrying him bald. To you, Juniors, the Seniors bequeath this light, which four years ago, was but a spark and which we have nursed into a flame; (the light of higher education), keep it burning that all the world may see it. 1. To Ernest Parham, the most humble and undignified president of said class and his successor, Lula Jordan bequeaths the authority to lead his most simple minded constituents in everything and nothing, and he is charged to see that this light is kept burning. 2. Bertha Atkins bequeaths to Candace Wright the broom with which she has so successfully kept her mind swept of the thoughts of the орро- site sex. 3. Ethel Bradby has decided to leave to Mamie Parsons, fifty pounds of flesh and not an ounce more. 4. Harry Stewart leaves Lee Hundley a pair of perfect feet; and to Carnegie Bowling his ability to read perfect compositions from blank pa- per, but advises him not to try it on Miss Pannell 5. Our mocking bird, Mozelle Crayton, leaves her vocal talent to Kate Pannell, and if the said young lady does not develop into a Prima Donna within six months after coming into possession of this wonderful talent, it shall be taken from her and given to Marie Hardy. (40) = 1923 - THE HUNTINGTONIAN Е 6. Emma Robinson has decided to be an old maid, so she willingly bequeathed to Beatrice Dockery her tantalizing eyes, powder puffs and paints. 7. Arona Diggs bequeaths all her affections for John Gilmore to Ge- neva Shields. 9. Lorraine Spivey leaves to Edward Whiteurs his ability to ask foolish questions and make all kinds of noise. 10. Louise Gilmore leaves her obstinate disposition to anyone who will promise to oppose anything the class undertakes. 11. The flirt of the class, James Crawley, leaves his many admirers of the opposite sex to Robert Carter with many regrets, and advises him to use them to the best of his ability. 12. Beatrice Byrd, Eva Odum, and Viola Brooken will their friendship towards each other to Vivian Robinson, Audrey Lewis, and Ethel Mason. 13. Edwin Mason bestows his soul, mind and heart to Muriel Vergil. 14. John Ballou bequeaths his ability to play any musical instrument from a piano to a Jews Harp to Fernando Brown, but advises him to con- fine his musical efforts to the Jews Harp. 15. With much regret, Christine Jefferson, leaves her senior dignity to Johnsye Ridley. 16. Geraldine Tynes and Ada Vaughan leave their modesty to Fran- ces Hill and Josephine Boone. 17. John Gilmore leaves his surplus knowledge of Chemistry to Prof. Randolph's future classes. 18. With much regret, we leave our delightful Trig. to the entire Junior Class, trusting that they will cause Prof. Thompson as much trouble as we did, and know as much about it as we do. 19. The Rev. Barnes leaves his host of girl friends, especially Rosa Nelson, to their future husbands, with regrets. 20. Lilie Smith leaves her ability to play basketball to Josephine Jones, trusting that she will be able to use it. 21.

Floyd Rowe leaves his heart to Velma Davis, asking all Junior boys to protect it. 24. Ida Johnson leaves all of her vamping qualities to Lola Diggs, (41) ————— 5 THE HUNTINGTONIAN LOS 3 еее Ооо... trusting she will break as many hearts of these beastly men as she has. 25. James Reid leaves his oratorical ability to the whole school, with this warning, “You can't talk your way through this world.” 26. Beulah Cooke leaves her devotion to one person, to Georgia Paige. 27. Beulah Willis leaves to Sarah Furbush sixteen inches of height, hoping that she will be able to use it to advantage. 28. Willie Meekins leaves to George Vaughan the right to complain about all the teachers who do not give him “A.” 29. Ruby Faulk leaves to the whole Junior Class her neatness in dress. 30. The Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twenty-three leaves to that sluggish class of February, nineteen hundred and twenty-four their Speed, vivacity, vim, and vigor; warning some of you, to Hurry up or you may be left. А hint to the wise should be sufficient. 31. To the Freshmen, we leave our humility of Spirit and toughness of body, in order that you may be able to withstand the knocks and kicks of the sophomores and upper-classmen. 32. Upon our beloved principal and to the other members of the fac- ulty we bestow our gratitude and our appreciation for all that you have done for us. 33. To the whole student body of Huntington High School, we bestow something that we did not possess, the beautiful modern and spacious new School building which is truly representative of Huntington. 84. We bestow upon Huntington High School and the city of Newport News, Virginia, the privilege of remembering us always as the first class of Huntington. In witness thereof, these said parties hereto set their hand and seal this thirteenth day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-three. Witnesses: L. F. PALMER, E. E.

THE HUNTINGTONIAN mA CLASS PROPHECY Having finished mv high school education in June, mv father decided to send me to the Boston Conservatorv of Music, promising me if I made good there, and helped him in his business during the summer, he would give me money to go on a long trip after finishing my training. The summer months glided swiftly by and September came. On the 20th I left for Boston, determined to make good. After a very pleasant trip I finally reached my destination and entered the Conservatory of Music. Everybody appeared happy except me, for I longed to be back with my parents, sisters and old acquaintances, but this sadness soon left me, for in roaming through the corridors, I came upon my homie, Beatrice Byrd, who told me that she, too, was going to take a course in music. My life at the Conservatory is too long to relate, but it is sufficient to say I made good and graduated in 1927. My Dad was elated over my success and told me I might take my trip right away if I desired, but I refused, telling him I would help him in his office for a while. I remained there four years, during which time his business grew miraculously. One day he told me he was going to employ a traveling agent to go to Rich- mond, Washington, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, New York and France. I thought this was my time to act, and I informed him that I would go as his traveling agent. He consented and I began making preparations for my departure. At the appointed time the transfer man came and took my baggage to the depot; soon after the jitney driver, Willie Meekins, came and conveyed me to the train. My trip to Richmond was a pleasant one and on reaching there I stopped at the home of one of my relatives. On Sunday she suggested walking around to Rev. James Reid's church to services. I accepted the invitation. On my way I saw a spectacular pa- rade. А man and woman headed the line, both with a child in their arms, and thirteen, little fat boys behind them arranged in stair-step fash- lon; three in the first row and two in each successive row. Their garb attracted my attention more than anything else. Each of the boys had on red knitted blouses and socks and light blue pants. The man's light blue trousers were rather short and I could see he had on red Socks, also a green vest, a black Prince Albert and a derby. The woman was attired in à red knitted dress, and as they passed me and I got ready to clap, my aunt touched me and warned me to be careful, for it was not a parade but Mr. John Ballou and his better half, Mrs. Erma Tynes Ballou, taking their children to church. After leaving church I went back to my aunt’s home and had dinner, afterwards going for a long drive in the country. My (44) 192% THE HUNTINGTONIAN time in Richmond was spent very pleasantly and I left that city for Washington. I had an accident as soon as I reached that city, for in jumping from the street car I lost my balance and fell to the pavement. I knew nothing until I was in the hospital, with Dr. J. E. Crawley by my side and Nurse Brooken near me. I soon recovered and went about my work, stopping at the home of Mrs. Alma J. Wilson Petty. Little Petty, Jr., took me over his mother's home. In the library I paused for a moment to read the morning paper, and I received valuable information about two of my classmates. The famous elocutionist, Beulah Willis, had gone for a tour around the country. Floyd Rowe had settled down out West with his child-wife. I saw an ad that read thus: “Wanted! А wife. If interested, apply to Dr. John Gilmore. I put on my coat and hat and hurried to answer it, but was too late. Emma Robinson had been a little eariler than I and, of course, was the lucky one. I was glad that she was for I learned later that this was his fourth advertisement and marriage; divorcing his first three wives, Ruby Faulk, Ada Vaughan and Ida Johnson. From Washington I wert to Philadelphia. This was no strange place to me, and I knew exactly where I was going. I stopped at the home of Mrs. Lula Jones, wife of a dentist. She informed me that Ethel Bradby was engaged, but was doing all in her power to reduce, should the parson tell him to embrace her. Mrs. Jones took me to the old maid’s home. On our way, we saw a tall, slender man coming towards us with a very large piece of cheese in one hand and newspapers under the other arm. 'The old maid's home was a very beautiful building and the first thing that attracted my attention was a sign at the main entrance that read thus: “Positively no men allowed. We entered and I found Bertha Atkins and Olie Brown. The latter informed me because Louise Gilmore had been deceived in some love affair, she, too, had entered, and allowed no one to cross her thresh-hold but her black cat, and when she thought of this trival affair it was commonplace to see him on the outside. I left the old maid's home very pleased with my visit. From Phila- delphia I went to Atlantie City and went to the home of Mrs. Geraldine T. Barnes, wife of à very suecessful shoemaker, William Barnes. He had an order from Mr. Harry Stewart to make a pair of shoes for him, for all other manufacturers had refused. Mr. and Mrs. Barnes, from their knowledge of Trigonometry, were trying to find the exact length of Mr. Stewart's foot, having found the angle of elevation of his bunions and corns, but found that neither of the six ratios could help them. So they decided to send for a new set of ratios. I learned that Mozelle Crayton had become а preacher and her head deaconess was Beulah Cooke. (45) THE HUNTINGTONIAN 1207208 From Atlantic City I went to New York. I went directly to a hotel - the finest in that city, owned and controlled by Edwin Mason. Mrs. Mur- iel Mason and her two little children made it very pleasant for me during my stay. My business necessitated my going out each day, and I am glad that it did, for I came upon a number of my classmates. I went to a large department store owned by Christine Jefferson, who when waiting on customers had to use a box to reach tbe counter. I had an occasion to visit the largest and most exclusive Theatre in New York, and the Prima Donna was Arona Diggs. My time in that city was very brief, for you must remember I was on a business as well as pleasure trip. From New York I set sail on the steamship Harve of the Franco- American Line for France. Most of my time over was spent in reading а book of poems composed by Eva Odum. After a very delightful trip, I reached Paris and went to I’ hotel de Ville. While in that city I went to the art gallery and viewed some of the works of the famous American painter, Theodore Davis. On reading a French newspaper, I learned that Lillie Smith had gone as a Missionary to Africa. I spent a very enjoyable time visiting famous buildings and histore runs. From France I came back to New York, thence to Newport News, pleased to have been so successful on my busness as well as pleasure trip. As I near my home I see a beautiful brick building in the center of many other outstanding buildings. What school is this? It is the Huntington High School, The Harvard of Virginia. I am told that it has an enroll- ment of many thousands and its fame has Spread from, pole to pole. It has at its head the man who brought it up to what it is now, Prof. L. Е. Palmer, who intends, with the help of God and the co-operation of the students and faculty, to raise it to a higher standard. NELDON BARNEY. (46) өө ө IVO THE HUNTINGTONIAN GIFTITORIAN After rambling and searching every store in the City, I have at last, completed my list of gifts. It has taken considerable time and thought to find appropriate gifts for each member of the Class. Bertha Atkins is like a Chinese sign, beautiful and attractive, but to read her is impossible. She keeps all the boys guessing and, therefore, wins this, Chinese Puzzle. Lorraine Spivey is always losing his books, so I thought it best, in keeping with the slogan, “Safety First, to purchase for him this “Bag,” to keep them in. Neldon Barney is always losing or misplacing her pencil. 'To keep her froom losing or misplacing it while in college, I shall give her this Pencil and Cord, to wear around her neck. We do not think it fair to keep al lof our knowledge in thie Country ; so, for this reason, I give to Ada Vaughan this Steamer “Congo,” in order that she may sail for Africa and give the natives the benefit of her learning. For the future Dr. Gilmore I have, a Butcher Knife. so that he will start in right with his first case of vivisection, as that is likely to be his pr ofession. Ida Johnson teases all the boys. With this, “Stamp,” I hope you will stamp yourself to one of them. In order to increase her “vampire ability, it is only befitting that I present the “class flapper,” Emma Robinson, this,Mirror, Rouge and Lip- stick. Аза firm believer in preparedness, I present our football champion, Floyd Rowe, this, Pair of Shoes, in the place of those he kicked out while with us. I hope you will take them with you to the University of Pennsyl- vania and maintain the record you made at Huntington High. Christine Jefferson, the tallest member of our Class, is given this, “Yard Stick, in order to ascertain how many inches she has grown in the last four years. After you leave Huntington, you will be buffed by the World and some of the members of the Class do not seem to be prepared to receive these buffs, so I present this, Pacifier, to Louise Gilmore to help her sail on Life's Sea peacefully. Fdwin Mason, our social star, I take pleasure in presenting you this little, Book of Etiquette, which will serve as a guide in your courtship after you have left Huntington High. Arona Diggs is asked to use these,“Tooth Picks, and stop sucking her teeth when she recites. There will soon be some newly-weds among our classmates, one of whom is Beulah Cooke. Nothing I know of would please you more than to receive your, Wedding Ring. It is hard to judge just how much a preacher eats by his size. Since William Barnes is theologically inclined and it is commonly believed that (47) preachers like chicken, therefore, I take pleasure in presenting you this, Rooster, which I hope you will enjoy. Viola Brooken, the song-bird of the Class, is given a,“Bettle of Oil,” to keep her voice well oiled and in good condit ion. To the only suffragette in the Class, Lillie Smith, I wish to give this Bag of Sugar, with which you may sugar-coat your arguments when you go to Congress. Willie Meekins, bachelor of our Class, after careful consideration and rambling through department stores, I accidently found this little “Doll,” which I thought would serve as a companion for you during your lonely hours of meditation. У Lula Jordan: Неге is the “Key” to Harry Stewart's heart, for which you have been searching so long. Ruby Faulk: This “Clock,” will help you to be punctual to your classes throughout your college career. Harry Stewart, the class flirt, who was entrusted with the key to Ruby Faulk's heart and lost it: To you I give this “Ledestene,” which I hope will draw her closer to you. “One thing well learned is better than a number half learned. I give this Book Mark to Beulah Willis to aid you in finding your lessons when your teacher's back is turned. Ollie Brown, who has been the quietest and sweetest person in the Class: Itake pleasure in presenting you this “Вох of Candy, which I hope will keep you sweet. James Reid believes that there are just as good fish in the sea as have ever been caunght. He needs a Hook and Line to try again since Eva Odum put him on the bricks. Alma Wilson, the smallest member of our Class, only needs а Bag of Fertilizer,” to increase her height. To Erma Tynes, who has broken so many hearts, I shall give this “Unbreakable Heart. È i John Ballou sees a hard time. Some cruel person in our Class is always crushing his heart. I hope this bottle of “Heart Balm. will cure you, and I advise you to keep your heart out of other people's way. To the school ma'am, Ethel Bradby, I give this, “Set of Rules and Regulations,” to help you maintain as good order and decorum in your classroom as you gave your teachers while in Huntington. The “Darning Bag and Needle, is waiting for the old maid of the Class, Beatrice Byrd. This Pocket Dictionary, will serve our future lawyer, James Craw- ley, in pronouncing t-o. у For Mozelle Crayton, I have some “Weights,” to keep you from grow- ing any taller. Eva Odum is always sitting in Class with a swollen jaw, which i climax of a tooth ache. This “Quick Relief, will help ġibu but a you to buy a new set of teeth or have your old ones fixed. — 3 As a final gift to Huntington High School, we, the members of the first graduating class, give to future Huntingtonians: Our school spirit loyalty, the unparalleled achievements ana our high ambitions. Build your air castles and strive to reach your ideal, “For a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?” GERALDINE TYNES, THE HUNTINGTONIAN JOE D PST го 2 (US) THE HUNTINGTONIAN THE ELEVATOR AND THE STAIRS MANTLE ORATION In this great era of advancement the proposition that is giving the nations of today considerable thought and a problem which must be solved is how to get to the top. It is useless to explain the meaning of an elevator, for all know that it is a mechanical device for raising loads from one level to another. But the elevator to success is not running today. There is a sign posted on the cage, “Out of Order. То advance to the top floor of success it is necessary to use the stairs. Victories have never been won nor obstacles overcome by those who have waited for a lift. The financial powers of Wall Street, the oil, the steel and the coal magnates; the late John Wanamaker, Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, did they take the Elevator Route? Let us search history, let us pick out the men who have exerted so much influence ‘upon man- kind that their lives are worth emulating and we will find that none waited for the lift. Booker T. Washington, starting out in life with a toothbrush, built Tuskegee; Frederick Douglass, rising from slavery, became the lead- er of his race. Abraham Lincoln beginning life as a “rail splitter, saved a nation; and even our Lord, Jesus Christ, a working man, born in a stable, became the Redeemer of the world. АП toiled up the Stairs, for at that time as now, a sign was posted on the cage, “The Elevator to Success is not running, take the Stairs. When we look back over the ages past and ob- serve the progress made by nations, it is impossible to do so without see- ing that successful men did not wait for the elevator but took the stairs. When we began our school career down in the first grade, we placed our feet upon the first step of our educational suecess, the very bottom of the stairs; and we slowly climbed six more fundamental steps toward our goal. Finally, when we finished the seventh grade, we began to realize that we had covered only our first flight of stairs; and had reached the first turn in the upward journey that leads to higho school, college and after school life. We then became aware of how little we know. There were some who waited for the elevator to ascend, but it was out of order. They failed, they are still waiting. Oh! It is a wonderful sensa- tion to ride upon an elevator when they are running smoothly, but what a fall when something goes wrong. They are inefficient; today, the world demands efficiency. The steps can always be relied upon, and when you have placed your foot firmly upon them you are safe. When we began our high school course we started upon the second flight of our journey. Although we had many difficulties and the stairs were steep, yet a stealfast determination to succeed has finally urged us to the top of that flight. Now that we have advanced to this point, it will be our earnest endeavor to maintain the footing we have on the stairs and try even by more strenuous efforts to go a flight farther. (49) THE HUNTINGTONIAN 1923 You, Sophomores, who will take the place of the Juniors, make sure that you have your feet upon firm foundation, and, remember our motto: “The elevator to success is not running, take the stairs. То your school- mates who are preparing to take the place of those in this class just grad- uating, remember that the elevator cannot be depended upon; if you really want to succeed, take the stairs. Juniors, I speak in all sincerity, as you take up the work of your Senior year perform diligently the task that is set before you. Although many storms may arise and your little boat of knowledge be endangered by the great waves of text books, remember, that every billow you overcome makes you stronger and lessens the distance be- tween you and the land of graduation. But Why Should the Senior Be Concerned? “А senior, going alone on a highway Came at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast and deep and wide. The senior crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. “Senior,” said a sophomore near, “You are wasting your strength with building here, Your journey will end with the ending day, You never again will pass this way; You've crossed the chasm, deep and wide, Why build you this bridge at evening tide? The senior lifted his old gray head: “Sophomore, in the path I’ve come,” he said, There followeth after me today A junior whose feet must pass this way ; This chasm that has been as naught to me, To that fair junior may a pitfall be; He, too, must cross in the twilight dim— Mr. President, l'm presenting this Mantle to him. JAMES REID. (50) АЕ L-9278 THE HUNTINGTONIAN CLASS POEM Do you ask me what I’m seeing As I view the distant skv2 I behold a band approaching— It's a class from Huntington High. For four hard years we've been toiling From break of day to set of sun; But now we are all rejoicing Over the victory we have won. In our own beloved city, In a very humble way, We began our upward journey, Striving on toward this glad day. Yes, we're the class from Huntington High Our school, so dear, so good, so true, We pledge to her our loyalty Whether clouds are dark, or skies blue. We are the first fruits of her hands, In that we take great pride; We'll bear her banner ever aloft, | And take her teaching as our guide. How pleasant our stay within her walls, This parting brings a sigh, But life's stern duty calls us far away; So now dear Huntington— Good bye. EVA. R. ODUM. (51) THE HUNTINGTONIAN шо О; WHO'S WHO?

(53) THE HUNTINGTONIAN 1925 February Class (54) il -9:250 THE HUNTINGTONIAN HISTORV OF FEBRUARV CLASS, 1924 In the fall of 1919 a band of enthusiastic students found their мау to the John Marshall School building which housed the Dunbar High. This class was under the instruction of Miss Bernice Sanders. Since that time we have been climbing through difficulties and toil. We have been facing the storms and riding the waves of strife. The class of February, 1924, has made it sway thus far and we shall continue to march on. We can now look back over the rough and rugged road over which we have come, but we will not stop for we are determined to press on until the victory is won. When we shall have finished our career in Huntington Hilgh School we shall not finish from the one room building in which we started, but from a twenty-five room school building, modern in every respect. We, the Class of February, 1924, will have the honor of being the first class to finish from the new high school. Our success has not been accomplished by ourselves, but through the grand and splendid leadership of our Principal, Professor Palmer.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY September, 1920, was the day on which we, a wide-eyed, eager, high- spirited band, now known as the Junior Class of 1923, entered Huntington High School. Full of hope and ambition, we entered our work in the high school with a will. The class was a large one, and it was divided into two sections; one section going to Miss Mabel Thomas, and the other to the late Miss Camille Young. While the class division was not very rigid becaus ethere were only the first and second year classes in school at that time, there was quite a bit of competition, the second year students under Professor Palmer of competition, the second year students under Professor Palmer and and Mrs. Bassette sometimes leading, at other times, the first year class under the Misses Young and Thomas. All went well until the mid-year examination time came. This is a (61) ——А tre d ___________tm_É_É_Ét—1_r THE HUNTINGTONIAN 1607299 rather dark period і� the history of our existence, and we will pass over it as quickly as possible. The year rolled by and the first term ended. Those of us who had been able to stand the shock that the first year Latin and high school Algreba often give were happy and full of hope; those who had not with- stood the shock, sad but determined. When school opened again, September, 1921, we found ourselves housed in a building twice as large as the one to which we had gone the preceeding term, and also met four new teachers who had come to us. There was something, however, that struck us quite forcibly, despite the excitement going on around us. . We were no longer freshmen, but had risen to the dizzy height of be- ing sophomores. The freshmen seemed so insignificant, and inferior when once thought of in connection with ourselves. We were now scaling the dizzy heights of knowledge and, before February we were standing on the lofty pinnacle of wisdom, looking disdainfully at the struggling mor- tals below us. As the last days of January were being ushered in, some found them- selves becoming rather topheavy, but quite a number of us held our places as only a sophomore who has been through examinations can. The term was quite an eventful one for the sophomores. In one of the sophomore classes, the girls startled and surprised the other classes by wearing to one of the games the blue and white tams, afterward adopted by the school as part of the uniform. For a large part of the year, we led the activities i nthe school and the end of the term found us in high spirits and still keeping the pace begun when school opened. School opened September, 1922, and found us who had been sopho- mores the year before, juniors. As was our custom, we kept the pace set the first and second years, and begun the year by leading in everything. Especially were we proud of the athletie record made by one of our classmates. In the Hampton- Huntington game, the one goal was scored by a Junior. In all other activities of the school the Juniors have full, free sway, and promise to make the second graduating class worthy successors of the first. (62) 9 2.5 THE HUNTINGTONIAN Хи.

These “Freshmen” went after know- ledge in such a way tha t they were bound to gain it. Some groups of workers, in faet, all groups, have what are called “drones.” We had few; na majority were and are still “true blue. : We, the Sophomore Class, have elected the fo i i © Lillian А. Williams, president; William Dixi E Ma E. Norfleet, secretary, and Alexander Atkins, treasurer. With these offi- cers we have made wonderful strides. The 2-B.-2 Section is one hundred er cent, and always has been. We are as one large family, we never fuss De try to “Ро unto others as we wish to be done by.” We have very few office cases; such a thing as frequent tardinesses are unheard of; very few absentees and—well, we can't begin to enumerate our good points. The present Seniors call themselves “big hate” and I suppose they do feel that Way, but we expect to have it said that the '25 class was the “cream” of Huntington, and that we couldn't be beat. And that is true even today. We don't allow ourselves to be surpassed by any team, class club, section or anything in the school. We are in constant receipt of challenges offered by any section in Huntington. All who come behind us can boast of having had the model '25 class for an example. Fellow stu- dents, join the march.

O. T. RANDOLPH The athletic career of Huntington High was begun in the terms of 1920-1921, the first year in which the school occupied the building it now occupies on Eighteenth street. At the opening of this term the school found among its student body a large number of red blooded boys who desired to engage in athletics. These boys organized a football team for that season, and, thus started themselves off in the athletic world. From this start Huntington has continued to engage in athletics, chiefly foot- ball and basketball. Huntington also put a track team in the intercollegiate track meet at Hampton Institute in 1922, from which our boys brought back two medals. The success of Huntington in the athletic world has been re- markable for they have the reputation of being the “Tidewater football Ccampions” for two successive years and also, of not being scored on in two successive years. It has one of the best teams in three states, Vir- ginia, North Carolina, and Maryland. This season (1923) Huntington has started in the baseball world and already they are well on the way to the Tidewater championship in that sport. It may be said that athletics has greatly added to the spirit of fellowship and co-operation among the student body and has greatly in- creased their love for fair sportsmanship and contest. In fact, athletics (72) јато THE HUNTINGTONIAN 0 has already proved a great factor and benefit to the school and may it ever prove to be so, and successful in the future as it has been in the past in the field of sport. Huntington High School's Football Team These boys came together of their own initiative to form a team, even though without a coach at first. True to the saying that, “Wherever there is a will there is a way,” a coach was found in the person of Mr. Abner .Byrd, who was willing to give his services to the boys free of charge. Through his efforts and good coaching, thanks to Mr. Byrd, Huntington was able to put her first football team on the field. The games played this season were with the Newport News “У” and the Booker T. Washington High School, of Norfolk. The results being as follows: Y. M. C. A. 14, Huntington 0; Booker T. Washington 6, Hunt- ington 6. Huntington thus started in the football world. 1921 The football season of 1921 was begun with plenty of vim and vigor. The boys went into the season with the determination to make themselves known in the athletie world and the results of the games played during that season will amply tell whether or not they succeeded: 3ooker Washington 0, Huntington 6; Norcom High School 0, Hunt- ington 26; Portsmouth Y. M. C. A. 0, Huntington 14. RETURN GAMES Booker Washington 0, Huntington 0; Norcom High School 0 Hunt- ington 24. Total: Opponents 0, Huntington 70. The boys this season defeated the best in Tidewater and therefore became the “Tidewater Champions for 1921. 1922 This season was a repetition of the preceeding, only to a greater de- gree. This year they not only defeated the best in Tidewater, but also the best among the high schools of Maryland and North Carolina. The games played and the results are: 3ooker T. Washi ngton 0, Huntington 13; Baltimore High School 0, Huntington 5; Portsmouth Y. M. C. A. 0, Huntington 19; Norcom High School 0, Huntington 34; N. C. State Normal 0, Huntington 21; Union High School 0, Huntington 7. Total: Opponents 0, Huntington 99. The boys made such a rep that they were written up in the daily papers of the Peninsular and their pictures also appeared in these papers. The boys have won a place for themselves in the athletic world. They were this year not only “Champions of Tidewater, but also “Champions of Maryland and North Carolina.” (73) THE HUNTINGTONIAN YAS GIRL'S BASKETBALL ‘was organized by our teacher, Mrs. Bassette, of Hampton, with Lillie Smith as captain. The first game was played with Union Street School, of Hampton, Va. The first girl's basketball team was organized in February, 1920. It It was a fast and exciting game in which our girls were defeated. But the fighting spirit of our girls and the school spirit of our students made the basketball season a success. Our next game was played with Booker T. Washington High School, of Norfolk, Va. ‘Our sextette defeated Booker T. by a score of 18-12. This was the most thrilling game the team ever played. Then came the final game with Norcom High School, of Portsmouth. Our captain, Miss Smith, was our forward at that time and brought Huntington the vistory, which she deserved. Much credit is due Mr. Т. О. Randolph, who put forth strenuous efforts to make the team efficient. (74) THE HUNTINGTONIAN 1923 YELL LEADER AND = е 3 4 4 А ЕН © О Gu NO.

CAMILLE YOUNG LITERARY SOCIETY On March, the sixth, nineteen hundred, twenty-three, thirteen anxious young people, representing all of the classes, met for the purpose of organ- izing а society worthy of representing Huntington High School in a liter- . ary capacity. The name Camille Young was the unanimous choice. It was chosen in honor of our most beloved and lamented teacher, whom we found to be always a friend and helper, whether it was encouragement or advice we needed. The society aspires to be a fit memorial to her by developing literary talents, this being her chosen line of endeavor. The society further pro- . poses to make itself worthy so as to become a part of that grand institu- tion known as Huntington High School. О� account of its youth the So- ciety has not accomplished much in a material way, but it is truly alive г and active, every member being a worker.

This statement is very inter- esting i n that it shows what can be done by organization of patrons who take as their motto “Service to the School, and as their watehword “Со- operation.’ The report is all the more remarkable when it is remembered that the Huntington League is a new organization and is comprised of an active membership of only about thirty-five. То have raised nearly a thousand dollars in the short time of its existence, part of which was in the midst of a business depression, is an accomplishment of which this group can be justly proud. With this money the League has purchased a piano for the school, bought a complete set of orchestral instruments, helped to equip the ath- letie teams, and contributed to the salary of the principal of the school. These things, valuable as they are, are not as important as the in- tangible things that the League has done. It has helped to keep alive the community interest in the high school work, has co-operated with the faculty in its effort to produce not only finished secondary scholars, but ladies and gentlemen as well; it has represented the school before the school board and the city council, and has been a tower of Strength in se- curing facilities with which to develop the work. The Huntington League has outlined an ambitious program for the near future, one item of which is a federation of all leagues of colored schools in Newport News, the establishment of a park and play-ground and securing pavement to the new high school buiding. The following officers have been elected this year: President. Mrs. A. B. Ellis; vice-president, Mrs. L. A. Cofer; secretary, Mrs. M. J. Robinson; treasurer, Mrs. R. H. Spivey. Under the energetic leadorship of Mrs. Ellis, ably assisted by her corps of officers, the League expects to accomplish even greater things in the future than it has in the past.

The Choral Club of the Senior Class gave a party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Cooke, April 12. Beautiful music was rendered during the evening and many games were played during the course of the time. The charming hostess served the guest with punch. The Choral Club extend their thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Cooke for their kindness. The Choral Society of V. N. and I. I., under the direction of Miss Anna L. Lindsay, gave a very pleasing concert before a large audience at the Lincoln Theatre, April 12, 1923. The Treble Clef Club composed of all young ladies and the Lyric Glee Club (all young men) sang unusually well, in fact, the singing of the Choral Society as a whole was superb. Mention must be made of the solo, “Three Shadows,” sung by Miss A. Matthews, the duett by Miss Ruth Robinson and Prof. Rogers, and the instrumental solos rendered by Misses Gwondolyn Brown and Beatrice Robinson. After the concert the guests were escorted to Berlin’s Auditorium, at which place they were given a royal reception with Huntington High School Juniors as hosts. (85) THE HUNTINGTONIAN 1923 BAND-ORCHESTRA ASSOCIATION Prompted by the desire, the natural instinct and the love for music, it was in November, 1922, that this ambition was put into the actual life of the school work by the organization of the Band-Orchestra Association. Тре main object of the association is to increase our knowledge along the lines of music, give an opportunity to those who desire to develop their musical ability, and to serve as a mutual benefit to the school and the community. Our orchestra was: the first to be organized, being made up of those students who already had some musieal training, and their own instru- ments. This organization was necessarily composed of only a small number of the large student body, but these few were willing to put into use what they had at their command, with the bright hopes of encouraging others and thereby making the organization a live wire in our school life. The success of all good undertakings is first to secure a successful and aecomplished leader. At this time there being none among the fac- ulty or student body, we were fortunate in getting one from the community in the person of Prof. A. L. Watkins, who gave his untiring services a 5 (86) 1923 THE HUNTINGTONIAN greater part of the time that he stayed with us, without pay, and proved to be the real life and success of the organization. Moved by the great success made by the orchestra the next great op- portunity that looked bright was the organizing of a band, but one barrier stood between us and this desire, namely, the instruments to be used by those who wanted to take part. With so great a task before us as buying instruments for a band, for a student body to assume such it seemed rather discouraging. But we were prompted by the indomnitable will of our principal, the task was undertaken and met with the success of securing the necessary instruments, and the organizing of our present band. The beginning of the band gave opportunity to a large number who had not had musical instruction. There was a large answer to the call and they improved so rapidly that for the good of all concerned the orchestra and band were combined under the head of the Band-Orchestra Associa- tion, with the following officers: Prof. A. L. Watkins, director; John Bal- lou, president; Harry Stewart, vice-president; Johnsie Ridley, secretary; Lee Hundley, assistant secretary; Hannibal Ridley, treasurer. It was not long after the combining of the two, the rapid progress of the new musicians, and the improving of the old ones, that we were able to appear before the public with a creditable organization. То our surprise and to the surprise of the community, we were able to furnish music for many occasions, to give concerts for our financial benefit and for the bene- ` fit of the community. Under Prof. Watkins our progress was noticeable from every angle, and at a time when it seemed that we were to reach the height of our am- bition and obtain th purpose for which we set out, to our sad regret, we lost our musical director. However, we were not discouraged but were successful in getting valuable assistance from one of the faculty, namely, Prof. J. H. Lissimore, who plioted us until he severed his connection with the school. Since that time we have been struggling against odds and without an instructor, save one of our own members who has lent of his knowledge to the best of his ability. The Band-Orchestra Association with all of its misfortunes and suc- cesses, has proven a real factor in the school work. It has made musicians, greatly improved those who have had training, and brought to-gether a large body of students for successful organization work and co-operation.. All in all, the Band-Orchestra Association has been a real benefit to the community in general.

The Senior Class Orchestra has played on many Occasions, the result being highly pleasing to all concerned. This meant much to the advancement of the School, for it played so skillfully that it delighted music lovers, whose favorable criticism they have won. Since this is the first Senior Orchestra of Huntington High School it is ardently hoped that the next Senior Class will earry the good work on. (88) 19238 ТНЕ HUNTINGTONIAN Mirror Staff THE HUNTINGTON MIRROR The Huntington Mirror, the official organ of Huntington High School made its first appearance in December, 1921. It was founded by the able pilot, Mr. J. H. Lissimore and for a year it proudly sailed on the sea of journalism under his guidance. When first organized the Mirror staff consisted of five members; Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editor, Business Manager, Advertising Man- agers and the Faculty Director. This number was soon increased to eight members. At the present time there is an Editorial Staff of nine mem- bers (selected by scholarship) and a Business Staff. The Business and Ad- vertising Managers being chosen because of ability. At the begirining of the present year the “Mirror” passed into the charge of a different though equally capable Faculty Director, Mr. T. Roger Thompson and has now completed her second voyage on the sea of journalism. We hope for her a prosperous voyage when she sails again in September, 1923. (89) 17912 8 THE HUNTINGTONIAN (90) THE HUNTINGTONIAN ORS A PARODY ON “KATE” There’s something in the name of “Kate” Which many may nct condemn; But read, please, as I relate The traits of some of them. There is advo-Kate, charming miss: Could you her hand.obtain, She would lead you in the paths of bliss, Nor plead your cause in vain. “Communi-Kate” is most intelligent, As we may well suppose, Her fruitful mind is ever bent Upon telling all she knows. There's deli-Kate, а most modest dame, Worthy of your deepest love; She is light and beautiful of frame, And just as gentle as a dove. Now “dislo-Kate” seems to fret As she tries to gain her point; Her ease is quite unfortunate And sorely out of joint. Equivo-Kate, no one would woo, The thought would be absurd; She is faithless and untrue, You cannot take her word. “Prevari-Kate,” is a stubborn maid, And bound to have her own way; This cavilling, contrary jade Objects to all you may say. There's “vindi-Kate,” she's good and true, And tries with all her might Her duty faithfully to perform As she battles for the right. (91) 105259 | THE HUNTINGTONIAN Now, take a look at “rusti-Kate,” a country las Quite fond of rural scenes: She loves to ramble through the grass, And amidst the beautiful greens. But of all the Kates you will find, There will be none like du-Kate, Because she cultivates the mind, And ever aims for something great. So if you have never seen a gorilla, well, take a good look at John Gil- more the next time you see him laughing. If size meant money, Viola Brooken would surely be a millionaire and Miss Pannell would be a pauper. The ladies now have had as a fad for sometime, parting their hair in the middle, but I can't understand why Mr. J. E. Crawley has a mania for parting his hair in the middle also. Economics Professor: Our lesson to-day is about the insane. Are you all here? Class: All except Mr. Spivey. The Indians have had to give up dancing because its too wild for them. Society has given it up because it's too tame. It's a hard world to please. Mr. Thompson, in Geometry Class: Class, where has my poly-gon? Up the Geom-e-tree, sir, answered Mozelle. FASHION NOTES The well dressed woman will wear slightly less this year than she did last year. Owing to financial depression of Paris dressmakers, gowns will be worth their weight in greenbacks. Hats will be large enough to block the view of movie audiences. Veils will be worn by cross-eyed girls. Engagement rings lend a chic effect to the appearance. get them at any jewelry store. 2 Lip sticks, vanity cases and other junk will be carried і� escort's pock- ets along with silver flasks.
