Wesley Raney, Assistant Principal of Hunting- ton High School, whose breadth of vision, enthusiastic support, sympa- thetic understanding of the problems of young people, adherence to lofty ideals and principles, and’ sense of justice al- ways tempered with mercy have served as an example and an inspiration to the youth of our school and our com- munity. iz rincipal. é Message My young friends, I am indeed happy for the honor of extending you greetings on your graduation day. Making the adjustments de- manded by secondary school graduation is an accomplishment in which you justly might take considerable pride. I am proud of any small role I may have played in bringing these exercises to pass. You are neither embarking upon life for the first time nor are you beginning or ending edu- cation. This is but another stage in your de- velopment—a period of greater freedom and re- sponsibility. You stand today heirs of the past and our hope for the future. The accumulated wisdom of the ages is yours. Whatever errors have attended man’s efforts in the past are yours to correct, and whatever the formula for peace is yours to fashion. Your world is characterized by strife, fear and uncertainty. Conflicting ideologies mediat- ing between the peoples of the world and man’s apparent ability to resolve them continue to be a very costly affair. Young men are presently giving their lives in the defense of principles they cannot adequately define. You can appre- ciate these conditions when you remember that some of your schoolmates have died on the battle fields of Korea. The dynamics of our social order predispose the ever-present prophet of doom to lament the chaotic conditions of our times . . . yet there can always be found some resolute men of faith, character, and industry and it is through such as these that the path of progress is kept forever pointed upward. The brief span of your life has been sub- jected to the impact of wars. This fact undoubt- edly has influenced your outlook on life. When your elders speak of “peace times” they employ a language you do not understand. It is your task to understand the meaning of world peace and work for its realization. A way of life de- signed to promote the greatest happiness to all the peoples of the world must be a constant con- cern of yours. You are an integral part of the social order and as such it is your obligation to foster the general good. Cast your lot in the vanguard of those ever vigilant to safeguard the principles of The outlook Let not the presence of problems democracy. The future is yours! is bright! dampen your enthusiasm. The material and spiritual coffers of the world are open to those who will pay the price for them. Set up for yourselves some worthy goal and strive unceas- ingly for its realization. Reflect in your behavior what you know and accept the principles of moral conduct. These will enable you to rise above obstacles that doom the weak to despair. Those who have shared the responsibility of directing your development here have tried to instruct you, by precept and example, in the democratic way of life. You have been taught the meaning of freedom; the values derived from according others their just deserts have been explained to you; you have shared in formulating regulations to which you have been expected to conform. It is our hope that you will be guided by these ideals in your future relationships with all men. Finally, it is our desire that you keep your connections strong with your high school. Those of us whom you leave here to help others will always be interested to follow your progress and lend whatever assistance we can in the further- ance of any worthwhile objective you may seek.

The eighth grade classes from both Dunbar and Booker T. Washington schools were assembled into classes with Mrs. Cobb, Mr. McGhee, Miss Duncan, Mr. Miller, Miss Venable, and Mr. H. N. Johnson as our instructors. Al- though we were somewhat appalled at the thought of being initiated, we found here a feeling of mutual interest and good will among the mem- bers of the body. Although we were deprived of the privilege of being in too many organiza- tions, William Davis was successful in holding the office of assistant secretary. All of us will remember his unpredicted campaign speech. This, our eighth grade year, passed swiftly by with not too much action. In September of the next year we were fresh- men. Classes from Dunbar, Booker T. Wash- ington and Huntington were united in the gym- nasium and were given the following instructors: Mr. Rollins, Mr. Frazier, Mrs. Cobb, Mr. Miller, Miss Riley, and Mrs. Lucas. responsibilities, more activities, and increasingly difficult subjects. Those joining the Math Club were John Williams, Addie Abrams, George Crawley, Chester Whittaker, Lester Gordon, Lo- renzo Grant, and Theodore Palmer. In the choir were Jean Manley, Edith Randolph, Bernice Car- ter, Flossie Parker, John Williams, Lillie Denson, We had greater and Juanita Rainey. Our sportsmen were David — 30 Lawrence and Harry. Marrow, track; Bruce Hobbs and Winfred Johnson, football; and Ells- worth Brown became one of our best trainers. It was now our sophomore year, and we began to get a slight feeling of supremacy. We organized our class with the following officers: President, Eddie Jeffries; Vice-President, Jenever Hill; Secretary, Margaret McGhee; As- sistant Secretary, Marian Haskett; Treasurer, Del- ma Robinson. Many of our classmates joined the various organizations. William Davis was elected secre- tary of the Student Council. Joining the choir were Delma Robinson, Ralph Phillips, David Lawrence, Sylvia Jones and Gleason Glover. In the band were Edward Williams, Charles Scott, Calvin Hobson, Theodore Palmer, Cornelius Braxton, William Scott, Ernest Clary, and Alphon- so Bellamy. Juanita Lee and Sarah Jackson were our high stepping majorettes. On the cheering squad were Jenever Hill, Gladys Anderson, Ber- nice Carter, and Margaret McGhee. Our sports- men were Robert Jones and Harold Hundley, foot- ball; Calvin Hobson and Chester Whittaker, bas- ketball; Robert Dobbs and Harry Marrow, track. We gave a very successful Easter pageant this year with Miss Weaver as our directress. Our junior year was one of hard work and a busy schedule. We organized our class as follows: (Sen Hs fory President, Marvin Harrell; Vice-President, William Davis; Secretary, Jenever Hill; Assistant Secretary, Jean Wiggins; Treasurer, Sylvia Jones. Samuel Armfield was elected vice-president of the Student Council. Eddie Jeffries, Aurelia Slade, Jean Wiggins, Jenever Hill, John Tynes, Marian Haskett, Ronald Walker, Flossie Parker, Eula Bryant, Sylvester Jenerson, Delma Robin- son, William Davis, David Lawrence, and Sam- uel Armfield were selected to be members of the National Honor Society. Those who joined the choir were Ernestine Neal, Chester Whittaker, Marian Haskett, and Leroy Holt. men remained the same with the exception of Our sports- a few additional participants: James Jones, Mar- vin Harrell, and Lloyd Brandon in basketball, and Marvin Harrell in football. Entering the choir was James Bailey. The prom we entertain- ed the seniors with was one of beauty and fun. Buddie Cradle rendered the music for this occa- sion. Representing us as Miss Homecoming’s at- tendants at our regular homecoming festivities were Jenever Hill and Delores Johnson. Our senior year soon rolled around, and we elected as our class officers the following: President, Smith Beckett; Vice-President, Sylvester Jenerson; Secretary, Juanita Rainey; As- sistant Secretary, Jenever Hill; Treasurer Sylvia Jones. Many class meetings were necessary in order for us to make our plans. Our Ring Committee selected our rings and our Annual Staff began their work. Reigning over our homecoming fes- tivities were Shirley Blair, Miss Homecoming, and Gladys Anderson, her attendant. William Davis was elected president of the Student Council. The participants in the various organizations remain- ed the same. Our sportsmen continued their work. Robert Dobbs and Orlandus Branch join- ed the football squad and David Braswell, the basketball team. Several trips were planned for us to attend the various colleges. The purpose of these trips was to acquaint us with college life. As the time drew nigh for us to march to the tune of that familiar song, “Pomp and Cir- cumstance,” we were both happy and sad—happy that we were able to climb thus far towards a successful educational goal and sorry to leave the place where our hearts will ever dwell. We, the senior class, wish to thank the facul- ty for the interest, patience, and sympathetic at- titude shown us during our five years here. Most of all, we wish to thank our dear par- ents who were interested enough in us to make it possible for us to receive a high school educa- tion. We believe that the knowledge and experi- ence gained, the leadership developed and the character traits stressed will truly help us to be- come successful men and women in our various fields of endeavor. 3 1} Sao IZ.

To our Principal and Faculty members we leave our very kindest regards and sincere ap- preciation for the patience, guidance and the help that they have given us during our four year sojourn in Huntington High School. To the Juniors, our rightful heirs, we leave our seats in the classroom, our self-satisfaction, our wisdom, our importance and the many posi- tions that are left vacant by our graduation. To the Sophomores we bequeath our pa- tience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the Juniors. To the young and unsophisticated Freshmen we will our notebooks, pencils, fountain pens, workbooks, and funny books. We hope that you will be able to mix the serious and the light in the proper proportions. We also bequeath our copies of “How to Bluff Your Teachers.” It contains information about which teachers are easy and hard to please, and those it is impossible to please, which you can bluff and under which you must study. We think this book might prove valuable in your three remaining years. To the 8th graders we leave our good citizen- ship records and this advice, “Be seen more and heard less.” Sylvester Jenerson and James Bailey leave to the 8th graders and Ramon Loper their ability to be cool. John Tynes, Harestine Woodard, Aurelia Slade, Ruby Latham, Jane Parker, Grace Cooke, - {34 and Addie Abrams bequeath their seats in the library to Isaiah Samuels and Bernard Foster with a hope that they may sit still in the library and acquire some knowledge instead of pacing the halls so much. Alphonso Bellamy, Cornelius Braxton, Lester Gordon, Thomas Bradby, Ernest Clary, and Floyd Robinson will their musical talent to Alfred Williams, Leonardo Thomas, and Isaiah Samuels. James Bell, Jr. wills a trumpet to his brother Robert Bell. Marvin Harrell, Bruce Hobbs, Robert Jones, and Harry Marrow leave their places on the 1951 varsity squad to Jerome Reese, Oliver Sid- ney, and any other hopeful aspirants that Coach Madden can find to help him continue his win- ning streak. William Brown, Dorothy Lee, Francis Chris- topher, Flossie Parker, Willie Powell, Floyda Carter, Fannie Drew, Ralph Phillips, and Lin- wood Smith leave their pleasing personalities, quiet and unassuming ways, and their ability to get along with others, to James Tate, Eugene Butts, and Rudolph Blount. Life will be more pleasant for you if you acquire this art. Ernestine Neal, Geraldine Sheridan, Gladys Anderson, Edith Randolph, Shirley Blair, Jessie Alston, Jean Montgomery, Gloria Parker, Edith Brodie, Juanita Rainey, Mary Green, and Annie Veals freely bequeath their charm and their at- traction to the male sex to those lonely juniors who have so much difficulty in interesting the opposite sex. LaVerne Williams, Jean Manley, Mildred Douglas, Elnora Dodson, Eula Bryant, James Young, Samuel Armfield, and Gloria Parker will Class Will , their English workbook, Tressler’s English books, and seats in Room 208 to any junior who is cap- able of keeping pace with Miss Peace without suffering heart attacks. The Casanovas of the senior class: Lorenzo Grant, Theodore Palmer, James Henderson, David Lawrence, Smith Beckett, Freddie Allen, Delma Robinson, Gleason Glover, William Davis, Ed- ward Williams, Leroy Holt, David Branch, Per- nell Parker, and Waverly Allen depart with best wishes to the males of the junior class for success in charming the female elements as successfully as they did. Upon Charles Luton, Mary Blair bestows her abiilty for staying out of school weeks at a time and then being able to pass all examina- tions and courses. Eddie Jeffries and George Crawley leave their privilege of walking the halls at all times without being stopped by a teacher and their in- fluence with the faculty to those trouble makers, Ramon Loper and Robert Butts. To his brother, William, Charles Scott leaves a watch so he can get to school on time. George Riddick leaves his combat boots to anybody who has the strength to drag them. From Ronald Walker to Calvin Downing, a pair of binoculars. These will aid Calvin in his night driving. To George Clark, James Pickett leaves his skill in laying bricks. Jenever Hill gladly donates her cheering squad uniform to anyone who will enjoy wear- ing it as much as she did. Sylvia Jones leaves her talent to read notes and sing a tune on pitch to Hattie Jennings and Bernard Tumblin. Marian Haskett wills her four years of serv- ice to the Student Council, to anyone who will have the patience to withstand the meetings as she did. A poodle cut is willed by Irma Roberts to anyone interested in trying it. Viola Copeland bequeaths her title as “Miss ”° Senior,” to any junior who deserves it. To Mozell Outlaw goes Bernice Beverly’s fat. Use it wisely, Mozell. Mary King leaves her shorthand notebook to anyone interested in the course with this advice, “Be sure you can read it after you write it.” Herbert Fulgham leaves his position as bank messenger to any junior who can be trusted to execute the job as efficiently as he did. Juanita Lee’s majorette uniform goes to any- one who will be as conscientious and happy as she was. Dorothy Holmes, Joan Barrett, Jean Wig- gins, Christine Coppedge, Esther Godwin, Ber- nice Carter, and Alma Hartwell will to the seniors of 1953 their graduation robes and the joys that they experienced in becoming eligible to wear them. Rudolph Manley leaves his height to Wilson Hill. Stretch out “Gater.” To any worthy student, John Williams and Ellsworth Brown leave their ability to cut four classes out of six and get away with it. Lottie Walker and James Young bequeath their slowness to some of those hopped-up eighth graders. Slow down kids, you have a long time yet (4 years). ACTIVITES IZ rophec Y Huntington High Grads of 1952 Hold Reunion Crass meets for the first time in 25 years: Notables return for the event. Last night the Huntington High School cafe- teria was the scene of a reunion for one hundred illustrious men and women who graduated from Huntington High School in 1952. Not since the night of graduation had the class been so nearly intact. Around the banquet table many delightful childhood experiences were recalled and many anecdotes related. Dr. George Crawley, leading optometrist in Newport News, served as toastmaster. First he announced that Charles Scott of Scott and Sons Contracting Firm would welcome the guests and present those who still resided in the city. Many of the Class of 1952 have remained here and are well known for their contributions to the educational, civic, and social development of our community. Marian Haskett, Eula Bryant, James Bailey, Ernestine Neal, and Bernice Carter are now teach- ers in Huntington High School. Miss Bryant is serving efficiently as head of the Guidance De- partment having taken Mrs. E. M. Greene’s place under whom she received her training. Dr. Samuel Armfield heads the staff of sur- Hews ably assisted by Drs. William Davis and Lin- geons at Whittaker Memorial Hospital. - {38 wood Smith. Composing the Nursing Staff are Addie Abrams, Gladys Anderson Harrell, Edith Randolph, Bernice Beverly, Ollie Gregory, Willie Ruffin, and Jean Montgomery. The new 500 bed Whittaker Hospital has just been dedicated and making the principal address at that cere- mony was Dr. Rudolph Manley—receiver of the Nobel Prize in 1969 and head resident phy- sician at Harlem Hospital, New York City. Mary King and Lottie Walker are owners of the Newport News House of Beauty and enjoy a lucrative business. Our class officers have wrought well. Smith Beckett, President, is the owner of a chain of stores located in Hampton, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Hilton Village and Newport News. Heading his secretarial staff is Jenever Hill ably assisted by Tom Ann Bowens, Alma Hartwell, Doris Riley, Irma Roberts, Viola Copeland, Flossie Parker, and Jean Wiggins. The latter four are combining a career and marriage very success- fully. The Vice-President, Sylvester Jenerson, has become the greatest X-Ray Technician of his day. He has for his private secretary, Juanita Rainey. Our Treasurer, Sylvia Jones, is director of Nurses at Freedmen’s Hospital. The class is represented in a number of other occupations that differ widely in character. JZ; rophec Hf James Bell, ambassador to Liberia, is often in the U. S. Dorothy Holmes, Sarah Jackson, Gloria Parker, Dorothy Lee, and Jane Parker are now recognized as the fastest typist in the service of the U. S. Their speed varies from 131-150 words per minute. Real fast, girls. In the field of designing we are represented by Fannie Drew, Esther Godwin, creator of “Lit- tle Esther” evening gowns, and Juanita Jones who owns two shops in Paris. Ronald Walker and James Henderson, lead- ing architects, point with pride to their beautiful New World Peace Building in Argentina. One of their chief draftsmen is James Jones.
