Without the generous aid of our advertisers, the financial assistance of our parents and friends, the unstinted work and advice of faculty members, and the kind interest and cooperation of classmates, this book would not have been possible. To all we say again, Thank You. Thu Huutingtouian Foreword HEN THE days Which we have spent at Hunt- mington High School have become yesterdays, and the years, yesteryears, may this book serve as a companion by reviving pleasant memories and encouraging bright hopes for the future.

Huntinglnniun Z .1 Has- 7719 leluntiugtmziuuw The principalys Message MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1945: It is a pleasure for me to greet you upon this your graduation day. This is your day! You are to be congratulated upon the successful completion of your high school education. It is with a great sense of pride that I extend felicitations to you on your commencement. This is the rising rather than the setting of your sun-the beginning rather than the ending of your day. . No teacher, who is interested in the development of the youth, can escape the emotional disturbances that follow the graduation of his pupils. However, it is equally as certain that he will also rejoice over the fact that those whom it has been his pleasure to teach have realized such an appreciable degree of edu- cational advancement. You are truly war-graduates. All of your secondary school experiences have been received at such times as our country has been engaged in a world war. These are the most challenging times of history. This global conHict has painted a picture of desolation and ruin 0n the campuses of thousands of institutions of learning. There is no school that has escaped its evil influences. The damage done the youth of the world will never be accurately recorded. The cumulative experiences you have gained during your stay at Huntington should afford a springboard into a life of greater usefulness. When school opens again some of you will be found in institutions of higher learning, while others will have taken their stations in different types of gainful employment. We have made an effort to educate you in the art of making intelligent choices and I hope that whatever course you may elect to follow these lessons will serve you well. It is a very splendid thought to dedicate this memorial to the members of our school who are now serving in the Armed Forces of the United States. I salute them! Reports have come to my attention from commanding officers located at various military posts in the United States and from theatres of operations in combat zones to the effect that our boys are serving our country in a creditable manner. I am pleased to report that a large percentage of them are attending school while in the Service and several will be awarded their diplomats, in ab- sentia, at this commencement. I pray God that the day will soon come, when all of the students of all the land may return to their homes and begin anew to build a world founded, indeed, upon the principles of peace. You are vital to this program. I have faith that you will contribute your just share in this monumental task. ll. Igfhe Hlnritingtonian I l OW principal W. D. SCALES 1am- - M9H4 NOEL J. PLEASANT A.

The station's an- nual Cradle Hour was scheduled to begin at nine a. 111. Hopeful aspirants entered the gymnasium where inspiring words of welcome by Director L. F. Palmer opened the Broad- cast. For our iirst lesson in the intricacies of modern studio life we were ushered into the rooms of Misses Manley, Parker and Ferguson and Mr. Rayford. Microphone-shy at first but encouraged by our sponsors, we gradually began to accustom ourselves to the general routine of our sur- roundings. We felt the scorn 0f the upper units and we were very ambitions to attain their levels. With hidden admiration, our eyes followed the superior looking seniors. XVe watched the pompous juniors and hilarious sopho- mores who lost no opportunity to hpoke fun at us. We began our second year at H H. S. Studio, no longer IIMike- -shy for during our first we had learned among other things to have con Edence in ourselves. Our interest in various studio activities increased. We were proud of being members of H.H.S. and we wanted to do something worthy of her praise. M7e pulled through our exams and finals with varied luck. It was the beginning of our third year that Directors were changed. After a while we adjusted ourselves to the change and became fully aware ol our 1esponsibilities as Iuniors. Next year we must take the places of the out- going Senior Unit and we must prepare and make ourselves worthy of the task. we or- ganized our Unit and elected 01T1eers as 101- lows: Morris Poe, President; Charles Pratt. Vice-President; James Keller, Secretary: Alease Brown, Assistant Secretary; and Thel- ma Bullock, Treasurer, mati40 Thu H11111111qlm1i1111 76mm; In the Spring, we honored the Senior Unit with a Prom at the Recreation Building. Many compliments were received and it was Voted a grand success. At last! Our final year of radio perilonnanee. VVC chose as our Class. Otheers: Harvey Brown, President: Morris Poe, ViceePresident: Sarah Drummond, Secretary: Ernestine Jones. As- sistant Secretary; Thelma Bullock. Treasurer. But alas! Many of our performers were snatched by war and romance. Among these were our president, Harvev Brown, Eloid IVil- liams, Earl Moore. and Edward Gregg. To succeed Harvey, we again chose Morris Poe and Jamie Clarey, Vice-President. As our interest in school activities increased, we counted six of our number as members of the 1944 Football Team: W'illiam Malone, John Jones, Eloid Williams, Freddie Travis, Harvey Brown and Charles Pratt. We were 1epresented on the Basketball T eam by Fred die Travis and Iohn I.ones In Dramatics were Mary Louise Walker, Frances Lane, Arthur Gregg. Annie Win- borne, Morris Poe, Charles Pratt, Mildred Bagnall, and Rebecca Davis. Counted in the Band and Choir are many persons from our Unit. We have had the opportunity to absorb the practical knowledge placed before us and now we are expected to plan our own careers. The realization that no longer are we '0 have the protection and wise counsel of our beloved advisers is somewhat staggering to us. Some of us must terminate our studio careers and must seek permanent positions in the turmoil of skeptical audiences, while the more for- tunate ones are to continue striving for future knowledge and perfection in their chosen fields. Wherever our separate paths may lead, may we always strive to uphold the standards of Huntington High School, 37 Thu Hunlingtuniuu 4m..- T120 Hinztingtonian 66am 70666 HE YEARS OF 1941 to 1945 have carried with T them many events that will long be stamped on our minds. The outburst of war. llDay, the drafting of our eighteen year old classmates. the chang- ing of principals, and the voices of boy friendless Fe- males singing, tiTheylre Either Too Young or Too Old, are but a few of them. Despite all these, our mental states have remained balanced and we, of the graduating class of 1945, do on this, the first clay of June. declare this to be our last will and testament. To our Principal and Teachers, we leave our grate- ful appreciation for their guidance and teachings during our four years at Huntington. 'lo the Juniors, we bequeath our seats in Rooms 206 and 10-4 and our many student offices. We hope that you will fill them with dignity and honor. T0 the Sophomores, we leave our interest in school activities. To the Freshmen go our excellent scholastic records. '10 Mr. Galloway, a cultured English Class. To Miss Weaver, 3 day of no tardiness. To Mr. Ballou, a Band of loyal members. To Miss Taylor, Orchids. To Mr. Scales, a book of pleasant memories. To Mr. Miller, a Civics Class of interested students. To Mr. Madden, another Kimbrough.

Mary Lou Harris. Annie Mae Hall, Marian Jones, and Doris Wallace. leave these parting words, United we stand; divided we fall. Maurice Butler, who Hourished for four years on hamburgers and spaghetti says she will gladly give her best accomplishment, eating, to any freshman who lives to eat as she did. Lucille Washington, Joseph Britt, Martha Atkins, and Louise Stephenson who were late to school nearly every day of their stay at Huntington will their in- exhaustible supply of excuses to Vivian Alhriglit. Linwood Bowers leaves Florence Retlcmss with this admonition: No 'lirespassing, Private Property. Lorraine Brown. our sophisticated prowess of the hardwood, names as her suecessor Miss Billie Gant. Coley Seahron, our walking bureau of information, regrets that he wonlt be able to leave any of his wealth of knowledge. He's reserving it for his appearance on Information, Please. Jack Wright leaves his one and only possession, Virgie Newby, in the care of Alphonso King. Handle with care, Phonie? Morris Poe, James Keller. James Linzy, and Edward Parker wondered for a long time what their legacy should he, and they finally decided to bequeath their neatness to Norman Ricks, the most egotistical boy in Huntington. Charles Pratt and Geneva Sweriugen glady will their large vocabularies to anyone who prefers good English to njive. Marion 1V00dley, VVilbert'Ashe, and Ernestine Jones, the class jitterhugs, have decided to shuffle their nu- merous dances down to Catherine Moore. Because they have the good fortune to take James Wallace and Robert Jones with them, Dorothy Craw- ford and Christine Fultz are making no legacy. Betty Small. is to receive Constance Minnis' seat in the library and her title as uMiss Martiifs Little Helper. Freddie Travis, HKinihrough Jones and Mudgi'e Ma- lone, our all-star trio, feel that no one can really take their places, so theylre just. leaving Loads of Luck to Huntingtons future teams. Ellen Crowder and Ella Mae Lyons, who spent five years at Huntington leave their love for the school to Vernon Watson and Preston Jackson. Frances Lane and Dorothy Brown, the perfect ladies in the Senior Class, leave their ways and manners to Cora Clarkson. Mary Louise Walker and Gwendolyn Wade leave their positions as soloists 01' the Choir t0 julia Mae Boone with the hope that soon she'll learn to sing. After much persuasion. the class Romeos, Rudolph East, Arthur Gregg, Hardy Whitehead, and Norris Sea- bron, finally have agreed to will their dashing and chivalrous manners to Walter Miles and the plump but mighty William Moore. Thelma Emmanuel, Eunice Lockett, and Rebecca Davis who are perfect pictures of dignity give to Nevada Ashe and Thornton White copies of their latest essay, uHow To Mind Your Own Business and Yet Be Happy. Our drum majorettes, Ernestine Price, Mildred Bag- nall. Hattie Williams, and lllSissie White, leave their ability to twirl a baton and really strut to Mary Clark, Doris Binns, and Charmaine Logan. tConlimled on Page 721 - 43w Thu Huulingtouiun r PwMecg COME TRAVEL with me into the future. Fill teen years have elapsed and we see again the students who were graduated from Hunt- ington High School in the year of 1945. A few of these graduates, impressed during their military service in Asia, Australia, and Europe, decided to make their homes there. Some finished college, married and are now living in other parts of the llStates, but by far the largest number have settled in Newport News and are enjoying full and prosperous lives. Tonight, May 7, 1960, Mrs. Alease Brown Tucker, the gay divorcee, is honoring Freddie Travis and Sarah Drummond Travis with a reception in her palatial home. They have just returned from Switzerland where they at- tended the Olympics. Freddie's first love is still athletics. In the receiving line are Mesdaines Thelma Bullock Ricks, Annie Hall Davis, Bernice Las- siter Robinson, Mary Harris Palmer, Marion . Iones Purdy, and Doris VValIace Parker. In 1945, these girls were known to us as the uGang. Now they belong to uThe Insep- arable Wives Club. Also congratulating the happy couple are Dr. and Mrs. James XVallaee. James is Chief of Staff at the XVhittaker Memorial Hospital and his wife, Dorothy Irawl'ord Wallace, is Sup- erintendent of Nurses. Serving under Doro- thy are Nurses Frances Lane, Pearl Howard, Hilda Green, Arlethia Brown, Martha john- son, Thelma Hood, and Emma Stokes. II is rumored that these girls spend so much time flirting with Stall Doctors John Jones, james Iiimy. William Malone, and Hardy M711ite- head, that Dorothy, who was ever attentive to duty. is thinking of firing them. She was heard to say, uRemember, girls, there is no shortage of nurses like there was in 1945. Still other guests are the Coles, W'illiam and Frances. William owns the Coles Funeral Home and his assistants are Nathan Allen, George Anderson, and Milton Langford. Playing for the affair is Linwood Bowers 4M4 and his orchestra. His guest soloists are Odes- sa Jones, currently leaturcd on Broadway, and Edward Parker. Edward is still the worlds number one Romeo. Others in Linwoodls aggregation are Clarence Brooks and VVilhert Green tstill buddiesl, Elsie Scott Davis and Ivan McEachin. Think of it! After all these years, Ivan mastered the art of playing the trumpet. Bessie Daniels Cherry, Betty Gilliam Ste- wart, and Delores Wilkins Boone are takingr turns serving punch. Delores has just been telling those around her that she has lately received a letter from Mildred Bagnall Cheek, of the La Mil T. Dress Shoppe, stating that Senator Charles Pratt, JR, has accepted a call to Abyssinia Baptist Church. Charles will ceit lainly feel at home because his assistant is Joseph Britt. Joseph always said he wanted to preach. James Keller, is the pianist of the choir and Morris Poe is chorister. In the choir are Thelma Emmanuel, Mary Brinkley, Nettie Hamlin, Nathelia Johnson, Dorothy Sidberry. Florence Watkins, and Mary Chapman. t1 know Mr. Ballou and Mrs. Quander feel mighty happy because all these got their start under themy. Concerning the lighter side of life, she writes that Gwendolyn Wade Sessoms, Essie Knight Pearson, and Elaine Scott Travis, are appearing at Small's Paradise which is owned by jack eright, Norris and Coley Seabron. A request by Coach and Mrs. Eloid iVil- liams for some punch interrupted Delores' suc- cess story. You know Eloid succeeded Mr. Madden as Coach at Huntington and he. too, is producing a series of winning teams. Under his expert coaching Huntington has finally defeated Armstrong and become State Basket- liall Champions. Wilbert and Mary Jane Ashe have just walked over to the punch bowl. I know you are wondering if Wilbert married Mary Louise. Well, he didn't. He married Mary Jane Hubbard. As the reception came to a close, Alease asked us all to gather around the piano and Sing the class song.

Making up the second team were John jones. Rucll Blair. XVillie 'l'ravis, Buck jones. and Lorenzo Horne. Because few of these will graduate. the 1945-46 season promises to be even more successful than this year's.

Inspired by the single defeat in 1943 and paced by manv out- standing players like All-State candidates John Jones. William Malone, and Preston Baldwin. and hard lighting veterans as Freddie Travis, George Parker, Ruell Blair. and Eloidl Williams, the team opened the season with a determination to take top honors. The initial game saw the Vikings down the Norcom Greyhounds 30-0. Then came the traditional rivals and perhaps their strongest opponents. the thting Bookers of Norfolk. lihey fought the Vikings to a standstill. The third game brought on another team who had high hopes of duplicating the performance of the Bookers, but the outcome of this env counter was Phenix 0. Huntington 12. Game four found us face to face with the team which blackened the no defeat record of '43, the Green Dragnnsi' of Maggie L. Walker. This was a whitewash ending Hunting- ton 34, Opponents. 0. Then it was that the cry for the State Championship became louder and the boys became more determined. In the next game we met the Bookers and after a hard fight defeated them 6-0. Game six was a continuation of our successes-Huntington 26, Peabody 0. Then :Nercom returned to take a 36-0 bludgeoning. At last arrived the final and championship game. - Everybody asked if the Vikings' success could last. The answer was yes. They easily disposed of: the tiBiby Pirates to the tune of 26-0. And thus, unbeaten and unscored upon, the Vikings became State Champs. Thu Hunliugttmiuu THE 1945 TRACK TEAM - State Champs 1111 NINE veterans. Coach Madden looked forward to the 19-15 Track Season with high ho cs. The first nctivit u a thml meet with Phenn. resulted in Huntin'rton winninrr 19! o P ' , h V - paints and Phentx 32.

I Shall Be An Advocate . . . I Shall Be A Herald . . . I Shall Be A Mirror And A Record . . . I SHALL CRUSADE for all things that are right and just and I will, with equal fervor, expose and condemn all things that are un- just. I shall be a CRUSADER but I will not permit my fervor nor the rightness of my cause to provoke abandonment of the cardi- nals of journalism, accuracy, fairness, and objectivity. I shall be an ADVOCATE of the full prac- tice of the principles implicit in Life, Liberty, and Justice For All. I shall be an ADVOCATE for these human and civil rights on behalf of those to whom they are denied, and I shall turn the pitiless light of publicity upon all men who would deny these rights to others. I shall ADVOCATE for my country. my state, my city, and my race, but I shall ever be on guard that I will not forget the greatest good for the greatest number while seeking deserving benefits for those small segments who are disadvantaged by denials of them. I shall be a HERALD, a bearer of good news, whenever I may, but of all news, whether it be good or bad if its heralding is in the public interest. I shall HERALD these tidings, good and bad, in the faith that the people are free only if the truth is known by them. I shall HERALD those things that others would suppress out of bias or for any and all other reasons. I shall be a MIRROR AND A RECORD - a MIRROR of our existence as it is and a RECORD of our strivings to better that lot. I cannot deny or overlook my people's vices and shortcomings. Neither will I permit their virtues and good attributes to be hidden or denied. I shall have integrity and I will not be bought. I shall be beholden to no man or class, because I am the voice of all my people. I will knowingly print nothing with malice nor permit the exploitation of my columns by self seekers and narrow special interests. I shall mold public opinion in the inter- est of all things constructive. I shall seem impatient at times. I will be abused and misunderstood, but I shall try always to be right and ignore the abuse, knowing that the wages of advocates and prophets ever have been, in the beginning, abuse and mis- understanding. I shall be a crusader and an advocate, a mirror and a record, a herald and a spot. light, and I shall not falter. So help me God. x This Credo, written by Journal and Guide Editor P.
