At this critical time in the history of the world, democracy is on trial as it 2 never been before. As nation after nation falls before the irresistible military machine 2 а smooth-functioning dictatorship, the question uppermost in the minds of the people of ou nation is what can be done to preserve the remnant of freedom in the old world and гере the evil forces of tyranny from our own shores. Our great country is engaged today in a mighty effort to prevent the flickering fires of democracy from being completely extinguished in Europe. It is resolved that here ІП America these fires shall burn brighter and brighter that they may serve as a beacon ү struggling and foundering nations in a world buffeted and torn with the terrible storms 9 ruthless warfare. Thoughtful Americans have further resolved that we must purge our nation ої all those evil forces in our national life which prevent democracy from reaching its full fruitage in our favored land. The American people are beginning to see as never before that there are flaws in the American way of life that must be removed before democracy can have full sway among us. As democracy in Britain and in America goes under the microscope of world scrutiny, the dark spots which have been overlooked heretofore come sharply into view. Class hatred, race prejudice, religious intolerance, economic exploitations, and social proscription—these are the things we detest in Nazism and Fascism. Here in this last stronghold of democracy we must bend our national will to eliminate from our body politic these cankerous sores which, if unchecked, may ultimately destroy us. In these critical times, America turns to its youth. America's youth must fight its battles on land, on the seas, and in Ше air. America’s young men and young women must fight also the unspectacular but vitally important battles at the ballot box, in the courts, and on the forum which must also be won if democracy is to survive. To you as Negro youth and Ше рое� а leaders of your people these times are doubly critical. The Negro in America is the yardstick of American democracy. He is the man farthest down. Our great country's final decision with reference іо him will determine whether we shall, as a nation, tread the high road of national policy where all men shall be recognized as free and equal or whether we shall take the downward path to Fascism and Destruction. As young Americans, you must join with American youth everywhere to make our country what the founders of this nation dreamed that it would become—a land in which every man would have the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is the great principle for which you must give your all-your energies, your strength, your worldly possessions, and, if need be, your lives. Let us look at democracy and behold in it the salvation of humanity-the mighty áprtress of a Нее people, and the hope of the world. 2220 22 nen tan OUR PRINCIPAL LUTRELLE FLEMING PALMER рт Bin) ТП De 2 1 ER m Ер pa f се Aus NE BOARD OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES гтэ МВ.

CLASS HISTORY Four long, and yet four short, years ago, the majority of us, the Class of 1941, entered the portals of Huntington High School as Freshmen. We came, ambitious and enthusi- astic, with an unexplored land of learning confronting us. We found at Huntington an atmosphere of good will, comradeship, and democratic free- dom which at first was somewhat intangible; but which after four years spent within these walls we know as the spirit of Huntington High School, the spirit that is the axis upon which our school world turns. We can never forget that hot September morning when we assembled in the Recrea- tion Building and listened to words of wel- come and advice given us by Mr. Palmer. Despite these encouraging remarks from our principal and our newly assigned homeroom teachers, we were intimidated by the taunts Р Greenhorn and Freshie hurled at us by the upperclassmen. Nevertheless, we determined to be among the best classes that ever entered Huntington High School, so we applied ourselves to our tasks with admirable zeal. When the call for volunteers for the Band, Choir, and Orchestra was issu ed, several of our number responded. In October, our faculty advisors deemed us sufficiently intelligent to organize our class and we selected as officers: President, Sophronia West; Vice-President, Amanda Moore; Secretary, Lucille Cradle. Our first attempt at a class program was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. We presented in assembly a play depicting the origin of Thanksgiving. The student body contributed sufficient food to fil twenty baskets for the Weaver Orphan Home. All too soon, the first school year ended and we in turn dubbed the new entrants 'Freshies. During our second year, many of our classmates joined clubs and went out for football, basketball and other extra-cur- ricula activities. All the while, we were still Striving to do our best scholastically, and as а result, at the close of the year, several received Certificates of Distinction. September of 1939 arrived and with it the knowledge that we were Juniors and all that the name implies. Most important was that day, that never-to-be-forgotten day, when our class organized and elected: Eldridge Willis, President; Rosetta Wilkerson, Vice- President; Lanae Ingram, Secretary; Мат- garet Williamson, Assistant Secretary; and Flora Davis, Treasurer. For colors, we chose blue and white. Several events marked this as one of our most important and enjoyable year s. First, an unexpected honor came to us. Huntington High School was one of the ninety high schools in the country selected to participate in a study of effective practices in citizenship made by the Educational Policies Commis- sion. Four members of the Commission spent two days at our school visiting classes, meet- ing with student and faculty groups а� а observing extra-curricula activities. When the Commission published the book entitled Learning the Ways о! Democracy, we were justifiably proud to note references to our school. Next in importance was the Assembly Pro- gram, at which time Flora Davis, Rosetta Wilkerson, Margaret Kin g, Sophronia West, Mamie Holley, Inez Seabron, Alton White- head, Anna Denson, Margaret Williamson, Ruth Nelson, Ruby Robinson and Augustus Palmer were inducted into the National Honor Society. Qur social activities were climaxed by the Junior-Senior Prom which was held at the Elks Home on Мау 10. The hall was beauti- fully decorated; the music was excellent and everyone had a good time. Thus, another year rolled by and we en- іегед Huntington High as illustrious, intelli- gent, dignified and all-important Seniors. Realizing that this was our last year, we determined to make it the best.

I wonder what have been the lots of Edith, Lucille, Lander, Lanae and other classmates of mine. Have they found the happiness they sought? Have the Fates been equally as kind to them? My wandering thoughts were recalled by a voice over the ether uttering these words: This program is coming to you from the spacious cafeteria of the Huntington High School, where the Class of 1941 is holding its twenty-fifth reunion. Gathered around the long table are fifty members of the Class. Some haven't seen each other since the day of graduation. Just now the members of the class are rising to sing their class song, after which Dr. Boykins, the master of ceremonies, will take charge. Adjusting the volume control, | settled down comfortably for an hour of unexpected pleasure. Аз the strains of All Through the Night faded away, Dr. Boykins began: 1 is indeed a great pleasure and a privilege to bid you welcome. Many are the changes that have occurred since last we assembled here. But neither time nor your patience will per- mit me to mention all of them, so without further delay we will proceed with our program.” (That's just like Thomas, I thought. He got his practice engineering Student Council meetings). First, we shall hear two selections— ‘Mountains’ and Со Down Moses'—by the Smithfield Choral Ensemble which is directed by Mr. Wallace Gwaltney. Alumni belonging to the Choral Group include: Frances Brown, Lucille Cradle, James Britt, Samuel Mason, Elzena Copeland, Bruce Boone, Kathleen Smith, Sophronia West, Otelia Cooper, Lanae Ingram, and accompanist, James Everette. (Well! Well! Well! Mr. Frazier has not worked in vain. He gave them their first training.) Dr. Boykins continued: The principal ad- dress will be delivered by one who is well known to us. He has had outstanding success in the business field and is at present a leading mortician in New York City. I have the pleasure of presenting to you Mr. Augus- tus Lindsay Palmer. Gus began: Friends, I am truly happy to be here tonight. I bring you personal greet- ings from the New York Alumni Association. Persons whom you know are Dr. Vina Briggs Ricks, Nurses Sarah Buggs, Geneva Jones, Sarah Eaton Harris, Anna Denson, and Dietician Louise Cooke—of the Harlem Hos- pital Medical and Nursing Staff; Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge (nee Ruth Nelson) of the Harlem Journal; Miss Evelyn Davis, staff photog- rapher for the Journal, and my wife. Mrs. Palmer (Flora Davis) is unable to be present tonight because of the serious illness of our twins, Florine and Chlorine. On behalf of this group of Huntingtonians, I am proud to present a donation of $25,000 for the con- struction of a swimming pool in the school gymnasium.” When the thunderous applause ceased, the master of ceremonies announced the next two numbers on the program. The first, a selection by the orchestra, and next intro- duction of the staff of the Huntington High School by the principal. The orchestra, directed by Mr. William Bircheite, Jr., famous violinist, played one of his own compositions, The March of the Birchette Boys. Mr. Alton Whitehead, principal of Hunt- ington High School, introduced Miss Mamie Holley, who had taken Mr. Ballou's place аз instructor of Instrumental Music. It might be said that although Mr. Ballou has retired, he is still actively engaged in teaching music at home. Other faculty members are: Leola Riddick, Mary Wilson, Charles C. Smith, Inez Seabron, (Continued on Page 73) CLASS WILL We, the members of the Class of 1941 of the Huntington High School, Newport News, Virginia, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby affirm and declare this to be our last will and testament: To the members of the Faculty, who have guided us through these four short years, enduring our faults and understanding our shortcomings, and under whose leadership we have won honor and praise, we leave our sincere gratitude and deep appreciation for their kindly interest and help. To the Juniors, we leave our places in the school activities with the hope that they may attain the high standard which we have set. To Ше seltimportant “Sophs” and the Freshies, we bequeath our best wishes for a profitable high school career and a parting injunction to continue to the end, however difficult the way. To Mr. Palmer, we leave a quiet and orderly Library. To Mrs. Jackson, an empty Detention Room. To Miss Pannell and Mr. Miller, vacant halls. To Miss Frazier, a good Journalism Class. Genevieve Coleman and Beatrice Williams will а few of their excess pounds to be divided equally among Doris and Costella Crowder, and “Peggy” Davis. Sophronia West leaves her good disposi- tion to Celestine Carter, Addie Parker, and Ruth Wheeler. Grab it, girls! It might come in handy during the rest of your high school days. Hosea Parsons bequeaths his ability to stand up in the assembly and sing God Bless America” to the members of the Hi-Y Club. Willie Watson takes with her, her tendency to misbehave in school, because she is afraid her sister, Thelma, might acquire more of it. Because Flora Davis has so much love for the Palmer family, she leaves her position in the cafeteria to Marian with the special request that Marian keep by Miss Spivey's side аз faithfully as she did. Edward Darden and John Seabron be- queath their fame on the hardwood' and gridiron to Dardens little brother, William, with the parting message that William hold up the family honor. Rosetta Wilkerson and Sarah Eaton have been thinking and thinking about what they will bequeath, but at last have decided that they don't have anything to leave dear old Huntington High School. Their treasures left school in 1938 and 1940, respectively. To her little sister, Myrtle, go Evelyn Davis' quiet and matter-of-fact manners. Please, little sister, don't disturb everything and everybody. Аз a special gift to Karl Ward, Alton White- head bequeathes his four years of perfect behavior. Julius King, who invariably has the last word on а� у subject, no matter how import- ant or trivial, wills this argumentative talent to Charles Tucker. Augustus Palmer and Eldridge Willis will sell their exceptional ability to secure adver- lisements and manage the 1941 Huntington- ian and The Mi rror to anyone in the 1942 Class. See them, Juniors; the highest bidder wins. Lillian Cobb is sorry, but she must leave Lutrelle Parker, so she is returning him to the care of Bessie Ruth Ford. Samuel Mason and James Britt, the class filibusters, will their wind-bag skill to Lloyd Mines and Yulis Joe. Ruth Gray, Margaret Williamson, Inez Seabron, Mary Bullocks, and Elizabeth White leave their string of A's and B's to John Cotrell and Clarence Jones. Skinny Birchette, the small town Romeo, wills his varied collection of letters from his host of feminine admirers to Quentin Smith, the up-and-coming ladies' man, Junius Brown leaves his position аз presi- dent of the Hi-Y Club to а dependable Junior. Albert Manley, whose presence in school is made conspicuous by his absence, donates his large stack of class permits to Corrine Dillard. Kathleen Smith feels that she can spare a lock of her tresses-for anyone who cares to wear false curls. Doris Furbush wills her fondness for the opposite sex, regardless о! age, size, or speed, to Frances Wright. Sarah Buggs, ater ca.e:ul consideration, thinks she would like to leave her domineer- ing personality to some Junior. She named Neider Brown, but has been told that Neider already has one. Pauline Crocker reluctantly bequeaths her compact to Rosa Lee Allen. To Vermond Morton goes Mamie Holley's ability to come to school every day, and on time. Since Thomas Boykins is taking “Freda” Binns with him, he finds he has nothing to leave except his office as President of the Student Council. This position he cheerfully gives to any Junior who is willing to acce� t and who will perform well all responsibilities connected with it. Ruth Nelson and Ruby Robinson give their ability to stroll the halls and still make pass- ing grades to Lolita Wilkins. Charles Smith, Bertha Dillard, Otelia Cooper, Mary Vann, and James Everette leave their love for Huntington and their teachers to the incoming Freshmen. Marcus Mack wills some of his superfluous height to Rudolph; not that Diggs needs it, but just for effect. To Sister Sarah, Elzena Copeland leaves her girlish figure. Mary and Josephine Wilson leave their timidity to Maude Bracy. To Theodore Parker and Earl Potter are left the Lord Chesterfield manners of Alex- ander Ponton, Wadel Clark and Lander Chavis. : Bruce Воо� е, who has а� aptitude for prom decorations, leaves this talent to the future Tri-Hi-Y decorators. To Hattie Thomas, Leola Riddick bequeaths her gold crowns. Louise Cooke's, Bertie Marshmond's and Audrey Bell's neatness go to Mary Under- wood. Wallace Gwaltney leaves his love for music to Oswald Gholson so that Gholson may have another interest in life. Frances Brookins, the carefree member of our class, wills this characteristic to Velma Hill. Anthionette Rainey leaves her skill in plucking eyebrows to Bernice Boulden. David Willis leaves his ability to sleep in class without being detected by the teacher to Slick Riddick. Ora Lee Travis and Geraldine Buie will their fondness for each other's company to Jacqueline Ridley and Mildred Lipford. Lucille Cradle wills her voice to Celestine Price. Geneva Jones leaves her stylish wardrobe to Edythe Wallace. Arthur Booth leaves a choice bit of advice: Studies serve for delight, for ornament and for ability. Use them for what they are intended. Mary Daniels has no legacy because after many trials, conferences а� а tribulations, Marcus Mack has made sufficient credits to graduate with her. Dorothy Copeland wills her ability to dress her hair in the latest and most becoming fashion to Catherine Williams. Anna Denson, the girl from Jersey, be- queaths her Northern accent to that lassie with the Southern drawl, Susie Redcross. Blen Eva Gardner leaves Mickey Smith іо the care of Grace Brooks. Handle with care, Gracie. Daisy Hall wills her position as office girl to Thomasena Williams. To Anna Brown is given Ethel Little's gymnastic ability. Doris Siler leaves cheerfully to the Junior girls David Bailey, because she is neareı Phillip Walker, She At un nine 10 tan The Senior Election ое nee re Shortest О a Most Studious Neatest Girl.

Already much of the copy has been edited, seniors photographs have been taken, and part of the material із in the hands of the engraver and publisher, Group and elass pictures remain to be taken, but this cannot be done nn- til the weather gets warmer, This year's book will contain more than one hundred pages and will sell for $1.50. The circulation manager insists that orders for the book be placed with him immediately because only в limited number of copies will be printed, Seventy-three of these are to be reserved for the senlors who have paid their annual fee. Too much praise for this book са� - not be given to the Editor-in-Chief, Augustus Palmer, and the Advertis- ing Managers, Eldridge Willis and his assistant, William Birchotte. They have worked assiduously to secure advertisements and to make the book а financial success, Annual Spring Concert April 16 Т� е musical organizations of Hunt- ington will be heard in thelr annual Spring Concert at 8 P.M. on April 16 in the Recreation Building.

Coach Howe's youthful and comparatively inexperienced players have gone through a hard season, with the f ighting spirit which is characteristic of Huntington's teams. The team played seventeen games, won ten sectional victories, followed by one round won at the State Tournament, and massed a total of 488 points to their opponents' 481.

The only one of the older teachers remain- ing is Mr. W. A. Miller, who has been assigned chiefly to hall duty because no one has been found capable of taking his place. As the program drew to a close, Dr. Boykins acknowledged the receipt of telegrams and mentioned the work of many alumni. Mr. and Mrs. Otis Langford (Willie Mae Watson) are living on a farm in Holland, Virginia, raising chickens and hogs. Doris Furbush, ably assisted by Beatrice Williams and Frances, is now Matron at The Masonic Home for Orphans and Old Maids, Phoebus, Virginia. The great poets and humorists, Albert Manley, Junius Brown and Julius King, are living in seclusion while collaborating on a masterpiece ої realistic drama which has the interesting title I Dunno. Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Mack (Mary Daniels) are Suffolk's most prosperous peanut venders. Pauline Crocker is the owner of a powder рий factory in East Hampton, Virginia. (If Pauline is like she used to be, she must be her own best customer.) Mlle. Dorothy Copeland, the famous hair stylist, has opened beauty salons in all the large cities along the Atlantic Seaboard. Her managers are Eva Joyner, Daisy Hall, Bertha Dillard and Mabel Jones. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Darden are traveling with their team. Mr. Darden is coach of the Brookville Football Team. Our time is almost up, so I close by read- ing an excerpt from a speech delivered by Rosetta Wilkerson, Dean of Women at Vir- ginia State Teachers College. Her sentiment I believe to be that of all Huntingtonians: Аз the years go by, we of the Class of 1941 fee] more and more the moulding and stimulating influence that Huntington High School exercised over us. We know that whatever intelligence, aggressiveness, and reliability we have developed and whatever success we have attained, are due in a large measure to training we received at Hunting- ton High School. We are grateful to our Alma Mater and may the ideals awakened in us in dear old Huntington High School permeate all the future classes.” Calendar of Events Continued from Page 72) APRIL 7—Freshmen have social in music room.

TIE Class: History (Continued from Page 30) zation took place early and all officers of the Junior Class with the exception of the Treas- urer were retained. Augustus Palmer was named for this office. Our President, Eldridge Willis, appointed committees to attend to the many duties connected with our graduation. As we spoke and thought of. graduation, our joy became mingled with a touch of sad- ness. We had known the joy of being mem- bers of an institution with such ideals and such spirit as Huntington and we were sad that our days here would soon end. Knowing that this year held our last chance to prove our appreciation, we participated as widely as possible in the various activities. Albert Manley, John Seabron, Samuel ason, and Edward Darden were the class gridsters who brought honor to us. The bas- ketball team was ably captained by Edward Darden with Albert Manley playing forward. Forensics and dramatics attracted Lanae Ingram, Doris Furbush, Lander Chavis, Au- gustus Palmer, Alfreda Binns, Wallace Gwaltney, Sarah Eaton, Flora Davis, and Thomas Binns. These cannot be forgotten for their commendable performance in “Hob- goblin House.” Augustus Palmer and Rosetta Wilkerson led the forces of the Huntington Mirror toward higher goals. These same two, as- sisted by Eldridge Willis and William Birch- ette, Advertising Managers, gave us one of the best yearbooks in the history of our school. The time has come for us to depart, but the memory of our life here we shall carry with us. The same true spirit and the same high ideals so characteristic of our participation in the activities and classes while in Hunt- ington High School will surely inspire us to lead lives of service and earnest endeavor.
