Acknowledgement We, the members of the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-eight, wish to ex- press our appreciation to all whose kind assistance has made this book possible. May due thanks be extended to Mr. Palmer, our principal, for his kindly interest and encouragement; to Miss Wilson, our sponsor, to Mr. Picott for financial advice; to the faculty committee for revision, con- structive criticism, and suggestions; and to the faithful students who conceived and executed the drawings and illustrative ma- terial used throughout these pages. THE SENIOR CLASS (262) Forenord In the pages of this book the class of 1938 attempts to portray the life we have lived in our high school during the four years of our stay within her walls. We have done our best to picture here our strivings, our hopes, our ambitions, and our achieve- ments thus far. We have tried, too, to hold up a mirror to the activities of our school as a whole. We recognize our inability to catch fully the atmosphere of Huntington High School. But if our efforts in compiling this book bring back pleasant memories to the students who have preceded us, instil into those of the present a larger appreciation of their splendid opportunities, and inspire those of the future to build high the foundation we have laid, we shall be amply repaid for the hours of effort which this book represents. It is our fond hope that all who peruse these pages may share with us the joy we had in bringing them into being, and read between the lines the great and fundamental values which constitute the spirit of our Alma Mater. The Principals Message Members of the Class of 1938: Fifteen classes have preceded you across the threshold of your Alma Mater’s door. You go now to join a goodly company. As the years have passed and these hundreds of boys and girls have marched across the stage to receive their coveted diplomas, | have watched them go with mingled joy and sorrow. | have shared the joy that they have felt in achieving high school graduation. | have sorrowed to think that we should have to part. | knew well that they would have to face the stern realities of life in a larger sphere than high school affords. This joy and this sorrow | feel again as your graduation day approaches. Only in your case it is intensified. You are ending your high school career in a year in which “the times are out of joint. Seldom in the history of mankind has the world been so filled with the bewildering complexities as those that pervade our civilization at the present time. War, unemployment, poverty, and crime chal- lenge the world’s progress and defy the forces of righteous- ness. You have chosen for your watchword а significant motto. Yau say Less Than Our Best Is Failure. If you take this motto seriously, you will meet successfully the challenge which the forces of evil have thrown down to you and to thousands of our youth who, like yourselves, are com- pleting their high school work in the class of 1938. Whether you go on to college, or whether you remain here in this community, align yourselves with the forces of righteousness and truth. Give of your best to whatever tasks may be committed to your hands. Thus will you justify the education which you have received and make your con- tribution to the solution of the grave problems which beset our world. © с Aunt inc tontan 19 Y ТЫЯ АГА m А, 38 LUTRELLE FLEMING PALMER Principal | (9) The Order of Book ЕА 601800 ІІ SENIORS ИГ CLASS HISTORY, CLASS CHAMPIONS, PROPHECY, WILL. № GASSES V ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS ( 10 ) i тоон tan MISS ALMA JEANETTE WILSON HEN, in our attempt to publish this book, the prospects were gloomy, and failure stared us in the face, there was one whose dynamic opti- mism inspired us with courage. Her wise counsel and unfailing enthusiasm gave us the determination to carry our project through to a successful conclusion. Therefore, we, the 1938 class of Huntington High School do dedicate this book to Miss Alma Jeanette Wilson, our class sponsor, our teacher, and our friend.

In February 1934 we entered high school life. Our hearts were filled with a mix- ture of anxiety, and fear. After an en- couraging lecture by our principal, Mr. Palmer much of our fear was dispelled. We were divided into two sections under the supervision of Miss Pannell and Mrs. Drake. We spent much of our time trying to get acquainted with our new teachers and fellow students, while between times we were forever arriving at the right places, but at the wrong time. In April of 1985 our school became State Champions of the Debating League. The Chorus and Glee Club won first place in the Music Festival at Virginia State College. These accomplishments made us feel very proud of the fact that although we were only freshmen, we were yet a part of our be- loved Huntington and might aspire to take an active part in such outstanding events. We returned to school as sophomores in September. Our hearts were gladdened when we saw so many freshmen. How proud we were to be no longer the newest and greenest group in the school. Many of our members joined the various school activities. Silas Binns, Curtis Clarke, Lutrelle Palmer, James Cradle, and Landis Gaffney became members of the Junior Band. Naomi Little, Catherine Artis, and Elsie Rattley were admitted to the chorus. In September 1936, we entered our new school building as Juniors. Here we had to make adjustments to our new surround- ings and although there was much to see and everything seemed quite strange, the adjustments were soon made and our school work was continued without inter- ruption. The new Recreation Building was also offered to the student body as an assembly hall and gymnasium. High school geography and journalism were added to our curricula. A large number of our classmates eagerly enrolled in these new classes. Т� е most thrilling football game of the season was played Thanksgiv- ing Day on Armstrong Field at Hampton Institute, when Huntington battled with Phenix to a 6-6 tie. John Patterson and George Davis were our class heroes. The Boys’ Cooking Class of which John Patter- son, David Cradle, and James Cradle were members, was entertained at St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon by the Foods III Class. In May the annual Music Week was inaugu- rated. The annual Huntington and Phenix Amateur Night was observed by many enthusiastic students and friends. Naomi Little and Cleopatra Swann were among the Huntington representatives. Voca- tional Guidance week was observed by the presentation of a play He Got the Job. Theodore Patterson and Winifred Drake interpreted the major roles in the play. Our senior year was one of great achievements. More new courses made the school program more interesting. Among the new offerings were general business, senior science, vocational guid- ance and physical education. These courses were undertaken by a large number of our class. Five of our classmates were induct- ed in the National Honor Society: Charles Fountain, Juanita Davis, Lutrelle Palmer, Rosa Charity and Catherine Artis. Hun- tington lost its chance at football cham- pionship by a 6-0 defeat by Peabody High of Petersburg. 'The Hi-Y Club sponsored a Huntington-Phenix Amateur and first prize was awarded the “Three Little Words, a singing team of the school com- posed of Naomi Little, our class song- bird, Cornell Obie, and Ethel Little. The largest mid-year graduating class comple- ted its work on January thirty-first, with a membership of 38. On March 5, Hun- tington was host to the Eastern High School Basketball Tournament. John Pat- terson, Theodore Patterson, and Samuel Ruffin were our class basketeers. Hunting- ton was awarded the trophy as runners-up in the tournament. Now as our reminis- cence draws near a close we find that many of our hopes and dreams have at last come true.

The purpose of the club is to create a deeper interest in, and a keener appreciation for, the finer types of music, and to develop available musical talent. During the past year the chorus under the capable directorship of Mr. Mozart Frazer, has made a number of worthwhile presentations, the most outstanding being the Spring Concert and participation in the Music Festival which was held in Virginia State College. In addition to these the group has furnished music for the school assembly programs, community church programs, and the Vesper Services. On no occasion did this group appear to better advantage than during its renditions at the Sunday Vespers. These model services, one hour in length, presented a group of hymnals by the chorus and a sermonette by one of the loca] pastors. This year, four of these hours of worship were held and, despite of the fact that the undertaking was new, they were fairly well attended. We feel assured of the fact that, this success has been in no small measure due to the enjoyable singing of our chorus. ( 70 ) Ohe o untingtontan mm n (нін 19 7 AM IA = my | n PS сн.

Т� е students assembled in the gymna- sium and proceeded in march formation on the athletic field. The school band led the student body around the field in several drill formations, coming to a halt in front of the bleachers, where the speakers and guests were seated, The program opened with songs, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and “My Country ’Tis of Thee,” followed by a prayer by Rey. J. В. Hender- son. The first speaker was our principal, Mr, L. F. Palmer, who paid fitting tribute to the city and school board officials and to the shipyard authori- ties for their help in making the field possible. At the conclusion of hig speech, he introduced Attorney J. Thomas Newsome, the principal speak- er for the occasion. The main theme of Attorney Newsome’s address was the importance of fair play in all phases of life. A thrilling football game followed the dedi- catory program. Huntington met and defeated Van De Vyver High School of Richmond by a score of 25-6. Football Team The first Blue and White team to defend Huntington's honor on the gridiron met and tied the Booker T. Washington High School of Nor- folk, Virginia, in the year of 1920. Кот the next three years Huntington remained undefeated and unscored on and was State Champion. It is a little known fact that our first championship team was coached by Professor L. F. Palmer, our principal. In 1925 the program for the football team was expanded to include on its schedule such distant teams as, Armstrong Technical High School of Washington, D. C., Dunbar of Lynch- burg, Addison of Roanoke, and Douglass of Balti- more. Throughout its long history of football, the records show that our teams have an edge in vic- tories over the teams who have opposed us on the gridiron. Even the briefest history of Huntington’s foot- ball team would be incomplete without reference to two factors which have done most to color its career. The first is the late W. A. Thomas, for thirteen years our beloved coach and friend, to whose memory we now pause to pay respectful tribute. The other is the annual feud of sixteen years standing with Union (now Phenix) High of Hampton, over whom our victory of last year gave us a one-game lead. This year marked a new era in football at Huntington. The acquisition of a concrete-in- closed athletic field together with locker rooms and showers has done much to put football on a much higher level from the standpoint of health as well as convenience. The crowning feature of the ‘New Era” was the good fortune which fell to our lot in the person of our new coach, Mr. Stephen E. Howe. Under his tutelage our team showed commendable form on the court this year. The 1938 edition will be without such stellar performers as Homer Brown, John Patterson, and George Davis. Although they will be sorely missed; it looks like a State Championship for a Howe-coached team next year.

Starting back in 1921 with an eutdoor court on which to practice, our teams have since made unforgettable history on the court. Until the first State Tournament held at Virginia State College in 1928, the Blue and White quintets recorded net victories over the years т series with all of the scholastic fives in the state. in 1930 Huntington won the State Championship in Virginia State Tournament. For succeeding years, and until 1931, Huntington was runner-up to the State Champions with the exception of one year. It is fitting that our fina] lines in this, first chapter of Huntington's basketball career, be writ- ten as an expression of appreciation to the memory of the men who guided these teams to their out- standing victories, our beloved coach, the late W. A. Thomas. The history of basketball at Huntington divides itself naturally into two chapters. From 19920 to 1931 marks one period. From 1931 to 1936 when the Y. M. C. A. Gymnasium was not available for practice, basketball was left out of our athletic program. In 1936 we moved to our new home on Orcutt Avenue and here started our career anew in the m modern gymnasium provided for the buildin gand Drydock Company. This, incidental- ly, is the first regular court which we have been able to call our own. In the short two ycars that we have been represented on the court, our teams have made phenomenal strides. In the Sectional Tournament, which was held at Huntington this year our team played Phenix in the finals and advanced to the quarter-finals in the State Tour- nament.

In baking a cake Ada Palmer decided that the batter was too stiff. Too thin if she added hot water. “What’s wrong with the batter, Ada? (82) asked Miss Spivey. With a giggle she answered, “Oh, nothing, It’s just a little warm from beat- ing?” ° We wonder why John Patterson stays so mixed up on his athletic seasons. On the football field he'd try to dribbble the ball. On the basketball court he'd run with it. “Maybe it's the pig in him, says the coach. Mr. Howe was explaining a new play to his team. In questioning the boys to find out if they understood everythng he asked an unlucky star by the name of “Chavis” if he knew the play. What play, Phenix Play? asked the bewildered, fallen hero. , Воу— (Тс cafeteria attendant) Please give me a piece of Washington pie.
