Much credit for the financial success of the 1954 Huntingtonian must be given to the members of the advertising stalf whose abounding energv, per- severance, and courteous manners won for the school new supporters and cnabled the entire staff to surpass the goal set by the budget committee. The members of the staff are grateful to them and to all the advertisers who through the years have so graciously and generously cooperated with year- book staffs. 7 | Our Р kincipal and His Secretary : MR. W. D. SGALES A.B., Johnson С. Smith University M.A., University of Iowa 3% rincipal : My young friends, it is an extremely satisfy- ing experience for me to extend you greetings on your graduation day. The progress you have made justly entitles you to considerable praise. Great sacrifice and effort are represented by this accomplishment. You now become identified with a host of people who have finished your Alma Mater. This group includes ministers, doctors, law- yers, insurance brokers, contractors, dentists, career soldiers, and others who have dis- tinguished themselves in various fields of human endeavor. The social order into which you are to soon assume adult responsibility is fraught with many imperfections. The apparent moral and spiritual bankruptcy into which so many have fallen continues to impose grave responsibilities upon those who would respect the dignity of man. It is fairly generally agreed that present advancements in the field of thermo-nuclear -- 8 Mrs. VERLEY PACE JAMES B.S., Secretarial Science St. Paul’s Polytechnic Institute essage energy are such as to guarantee the possible de- 5 . .q. . SEA . 3 . x struction of civilization. Mechanical inventions have made possible a standard of living un- thought of a generation ago; yet the techniques demanded by the principles of peace continue to elude us. This is the social order you face—this is your world. It is yours to contribute such as you can to improve the lot of man. Who knows but that one day you may not derive the formula that may usher us into a new era of peace. We have endeavored to create within you tendencies toward positive actions calculated for your personal and social advancement and to establish such inhibitions as will safeguard you against evil doings. Our aim has been to assist you in understanding and the values in- herent in, and the responsibilities demanded by good citi- zenship. : ХЭС It is our earnest prayer that you will look with charity upon our errors and remember with kindness those whom you leave behind, those who have gone, and will continue to go beyond their contractual obligations to safeguard you from falling. کش رر ———— € 0232029992107 r کر‎ [5 Secretary Our slant Р, rincipał and И ШИ ШИ ШИМ ШИШ 1111 ШИ ШИН ШИ ШИ Ши a ۷ ШИЛ ШИН ШІП ІІІ m pur A x rsity NE RAI x A.B., Lincoln Unive G.

Are filled with wild excitement, At last the goal 1s won; We gaze in admiration, Upon the work we've done. The courses we have taken, The stiff exams we've passed, Would indicate intelligence, With wonder we're aghast. The faculty, they tell us, Is equally surprised, For when they found us passing They scarcely believed their eyes. Perhaps it was their wisdom, That dragged us up to grade, And so we're saying “Thank You,” For good advice and aid. How olten we have counted, The time until holidays, And wished the hours were shorter, In education's ways. But now we may discover What old folks say is true: Life's working day is lengthy And holidays are few. Still armed with high endeavor, We meet fate with a smile, And strive with hearts und aunted, Remembering the while, That life, despite misfortune, Is but adventure gay, And Death's a friend that gives us A last long holiday. -4[ 10 0535 papers JM be retu nned N w Tow FBullefin Boa rd на Department LILLIAN WEAVER B.

UON 43 ће | шар History Ga day in the morning!” said the members of the Huntington High School student body, “What in the world is this invading us?” Well, they were talk- ing about our “little” class that came to the great Huntington High School in September of 1949. How clearly I remember the beautiful address that was given by our principal. One part—the part about being “ladies and gentlemen”—has always remained ut- most in my mind; how many times have we heard it since? Often, but not too often. Who were our homeroom teachers, you ask? There was Miss Peace, Mr. McGee, Mrs. Cobb, Mr. Stark, Miss Duncan, and Miss Thomas. Settled at least we seemed to be a part of the “great” Huntington family. The school year passed rapidly; our love for our school grew, but so did our responsibilities. Glorious September! we were at last freshmen. We now took our responsibilities with more consideration. This year found us branching out into the various organi- zations of the school. In the choir the melodious voices Of Edna Lawrence, Ira Holloway, Joseph Cope- land, Zella Williams, Lonniell White, James Cosby, and Cozelle Upshur were evident. The band got an addi- tional boost from Edna Reid, John Hardwick, James Poe, Rudolph Palmer, Lois Haskett, Floyd Cofield, Franklin Dillard, John Christian, and Kathryn Vaughan. Complacent and satisfied we came to the conclusion of a very successful year. It is now our sophomore year and we feel as if we rule supreme. We organized the class as follows: Quinn Shelton, president; James George, vice-presi- dent; Dilsie Graham, secretary; Mae E. Smith, assistant secretary; James Cosby, treasurer. We found many of our students going into the Various organizations of the school. Edna Reid was elected as secretary of the Student Council. Participat- ing in the choir this year were Margaret L. Bowes, Mae Smith, Charles Holland, John Hardwick, Bernard Tumb- lin, Nannie Moore, Delores Gregg, Lula Fuller, James Gwaltney, Jack Pierce, Gloria Hargraves, Franklin Dil- lard, Floyd Green, Carey Wrenn, Vinetta Parker, Shirley Wilkins, Irma Owens, Patricia Pope, Mazelle Outlaw, Queenie Outlaw, James Chevious, and Dorothy Riddick. In the band we found Dilsie Graham, Sarah McPhatter, Barbara Tucker, Geneva Pulley, Olivia Garrett, Esther Furbush, William Brunson, and Evelyn Scott. Those joining the Math Club were Aeolus Jones, Rudolph Palmer, James Poe, and Franklin Dillard. Our sports minded boys with burning zeal captured some of the best positions in sports. Our sportsmen were James Braswell, Floyd Boyd, Charles Sanders, Stanley Jones, Leroy Jones, Jerry Small, and Oliver - 44 Sidney, Isaiah Cotton, James Marshall, John Christian, Franklin Dillard, Stanley Green, Ernest Everett, Marsh- all Hunt, Johnny Knox, and James Ponton in football; William Brunson and Joseph Copeland in Track; and Bernard Tumblin and Joseph Covington in tennis; also James Poe, Jerry Small, and Nathan Stith in baseball. In the Student Council, Franklin Dillard was elected vice-president. The time has come; hard work and busy schedules were here at last for this was our junior year. We had to get started early, so we organized our class as follows: President, James George; vice-president, Vernon Harris; secretary, Mae Ellen Smith; assistant secretary, Dilsie Graham; treasurer, William Brunson. The wonderful work of our sportsmen was carried on by the same persons with an exception of a few additional participants. At the prom we entertained the seniors. The music for this occasion was rendered by the Royal Hamp- tonians. Representing us at the Homecoming festivities were Ira Holloway and Irma Owens. Happy day! Franklin Dillard was elected president of the Student Council. The senior year is here at last; open your doors world; we will be there soon; how happy we аге. We elected the class officers as follows: President, James George; vice-president, Vernon Harris; secretary, Shirley Stubbs; treasurer, Joseph Copeland; chaplain, James Cosby. In order to make plans for the (ensuing) year’s activities we found it necessary to have a number of class meetings. The electing of our Ring Committee and our Annual Staff was the order of the day. Mae Smith and Anna Jones were our representatives in the Homecoming activities. Our sportsmen continue in their capable and efficient manner. The time draws nigh for us to march to the melo- dious tune of “Pomp and Circumstance.” Perhaps as we march we think—only too well — “Veni vidi vici” (1 came, J saw, I conquered) and this is my reward. We, the senior class, want to thank all the mem- bers of the faculty who have been our friends and benefactors; who through their patience and perse- verance have contributed much to our growth and de- velopment. We wish also to thank our parents, for without their help, their guidance, and their interest, our goal could not have been attained. We know that without these forces behind us that the wealth, position, and influence which we seek can never be ours. 1 WH and Si WE the members of the graduating class of 1954 being in sound mind (with little credit to those senior tests) and health (with much thanks to our physical education teachers) hereby submit our last will and testament. To the faculty we leave our gratitude for their patience and fortitude during these four years of our stay at Huntington. To the Juniors—we leave our places in the school activities and our choice seats in the as- sembly. We hope that they will enjoy their par- ticipation in school organizations as much as we did. To the Sophomores we bequeath our text- books and our school spirit. Use these textbooks carefully and diligently because they are your friends and will stay by you until the end. To the Freshmen—we give our dignity. Hurry up and grow up. To the Eighth Graders—we will our forti- tude and determination to graduate. The road is long and hard but you can make it if you will just remain in school and apply yourselves. Cozelle Upshur's lady-like trait of chewing only one-half of a stick of chewing gum at a time goes to Vivian Hill. Vivian, popping gum is rude and annoying.

Stop, Eugene, trying to in- terfere with other fellow’s progress. Ira Holloway's and Vinetta Parker's beauti- ful smiles are bequeathed to Pauline “Grouch” Hill.

BĘ heed Mack, “You can fool all the people some of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all the time.” Frankie Sermons, Annette Merritt, Nancy Veals, Ruth Williams and Kathryn Vaughan will their pleasing personalities and their motto, “Si- lence is golden” to Mary Woodard, Joan Mack, Marion Williams, Ruth Grant, Lillian Ashcraft, Mary Wynn and Jackie Wakefield. Children should be seen and not heard so much. James Cosby wills his place in the choir to his sister Loretta. We're pulling for you, friend.

Louise Washington bequeaths her serious de- meanor to those giggling froshies, Norva Wash- ington and Joyce Small. To Ella Eley, Margaret Robinson and Mary Rainey, goes the poised and dignified manner of Georgia Eley. James Gwaltnev, Redelle Clinton, Carey Wrenn, Floyd Green and Vernon Harris leave their melodious voices to Charles Pleasants, Carter Bradshaw, Leonard Tucker and Breon Haskett. Singing in the bathroom won't help you, boys. Betty Lee bequeaths to Jean Everette, Doro- thy Taylor, and Marion Poe voice distinguishers to aid them in continuing to make telephone calls they consider mysterious. Floyd Boyd has nothing to leave but the bas- ketball and his keen shot for the basket. Joseph Covington and William Brunson leave to the future clarinet players a stack of reeds. You will surely need them. To Janice Hope, Mary Lewis leaves her battered gym case. She became tired of your throwing gym clothes all over algebra class, Janice. To William Conde and Claude Richardson, Leonardo Thomas leaves his camera. Take good care of it, boys, because Dorothy Nicholson will need it next.

Sarah McPhatter, Zella Williams, Barbara Small, Geneva Pulley, and Eva Harrison leave their high moral standards to Beverly Allen, Beverly Briggs, Loretta Cosby, Mary Jones, and Blondena Woodard. “At the rate you are now traveling, girls, you will never make it.” Claudette Brinkley and Barbara Tucker, will their attraction and charm to the opposite sex, — to those lonely juniors who have so much difficulty with the he-men. John Christian, James Marshall, a nd Marsh- all Hunt, bequeath their football uniforms and positions to any fellow who is capable of filling the job.

Lillie Fultz bequeaths to Rosa Avent and Lethia Vaughan the ability to be seen and not heard. PROPHECY Си. ойг y Ir is the year 1964 and a beautiful evening in October. Members of the famous class of 1954 of Huntington High School are having their class reunion and are about to attend one of the most elegant soirees of the season at the Palladium in Hollywood. The hour of the great event has arrived and among the first of the guests to arrive is Nathan Stith who has always been present and on time for everything. Decked out in white ties and tails and the best of satins and jewels, some of the class members are being swept up to the entrance in their limousines. They were greeted by the noted speech therapist Aeolus Jones, who is acting as hostess. Assisting her is Edna Lawrence and Eva Harrison, business execu- tives of a local firm. Mae Ellen Smith and Franklin Dillard are still playing along together and are entering now. Behind them enters Doctor James Gwaltney, who is now Chief Executive of the Bellevue Hospital in New York City. Arriving at this moment I see the Pope sis- ters, Patricia and Loretta. They had requested to give the party for the reunion, but since there were also offers from Audrey Lloyd, Mary Hus- sey, and Shirley Stubbs, who are noted for their hospitality, the committee refused both offers. Five persons receive a warm reception from the committee at the door. They are Dr. Floyd Green, a famous surgeon in a large hospital, Claudette Brinkley and Shirley Wilkins, superin- tendents of nurses, Mary Lewis, a competent pharmacist assistant, and Esther Furbush, the laboratory technician in the same hospital. If there are any accidents tonight we feel sure that the sufferers will be properly attended to with nurses: Barbara Tucker, Ireatha Davis, Nannie Moore, Annie White, Ira Holloway and Gloria Hargraves on the job. These nurses are now residents of Washington, New York, Philadelphia, -=4 50 and Chicago except Gloria Hargraves, who is still the hometown girl. Conversing in the corner are James Chevious and Floyd and Anna Boyd; James and Floyd have become partners and are quite, successful auto mechanics. ) With these three are Marion Gross, Vinetta Parker, Ernestine Pryor, Loretta Simpson, Bar- bara Seldon, and Mary Bervine. I am told that the beautiful garments they were wearing came from the very select, not to say expensive, shop of Anna Jones and Betty Gatling who design gowns for all the best dressed women in the country. Coming in now are some more ele- gantly dressed your ladies. They are Lucille Harps and Barbara Small, who have also become exclusive fashion designers. These ladies seem- ingly have some problems and are asking the legal advice of the prominent lawyers, James George and Redelle Clinton. They were making progress until another lawyer, James Poe, stepped into the scene and confused all with his unwanted advice. Fashion-setters, Loretta Simpson and Kath- ryn Vaughan step into the scene and all eyes turn toward their dresses. Our attention is now directed to two settled married couples whose futures lived up to every- one's expectations. They are Delores Gregg and Jack Pierce, and Irma Owens and Stanley Jones. It is surprising though, that we didn't receive letters of regret that the Pierce’s couldn't afford а baby-sitter or the Jones’ could not be present because of an important football game. Several of the most outstanding players on Coach Jones” team are Oliver Sidney, John Christian, and James Marshall. Marshall Hunt has just announced that he shall be playing with his beloved Redskins this year. Standing in the door, looking for old friends, I find Joseph Copeland, business manager of the largest corporation in the state. Except that he has grown a trifle stouter and looks more cheer- ful than ever; he has not changed one bit since his high school days. He has employed several of his former classmates as secretaries: Nellie Kee, Betty Lee, Jacqueline Wilkins, Ruth Riddick, and Frankie Sermons. Clarice Vaughan, Nancy Veals and Lillie Fultz have established a prospering business school in Richmond. Surprisingly enough, Lula Fuller, the dental tycoon, is the center of attrac- tion. In attendance are three dental assistants, Drs. Rudolph Palmer, Carev Wrenn, and John Hardwick. It is rumored that Rudolph is smiling at the female patients while John is administering laughing gas to their husbands. Present is Charles Saunders, who is now established in psychiatric social work in San Francisco and at the present is residing in Berkeley. Margaret Knight, a skill- ed cosmetologist is an instructor at Howard Uni- versitv. A man and woman are sketching the people as they come. Yes, it's Carole and Jerry Small. They have teamed up and have become quite famous as illustrators of magazines stories and newspaper articles. Arriving late from Washington because of a storm are Margaret Bowes, Floyd Coefield, Vernon Harris, William Brunson, and Joseph Jackson. Margaret being an architectural en- gineer, is now designing halls of fame for the gov- ernment. Floyd, Vernon Williams, and Joseph are electrical engineers employed at the Civil Service Laboratory and all are making the most out of the social life in D. C. Ruth Artis has accomplished fame through painting. Some of her most wonderful paintings can be seen in the Museum of Paris. Charles Holland is a television technician and is an in- structor at Howard University. Annie White could not resist the peppy music being played by Joseph Covington, James Patterson, and Samuel Hardy. With the distinguished actor, James Cos- by, she tried a new dance step in the crowded drawing room. Other arrivals are George Hill, Ernest Everett, Earl Taylor, Leroy Bowens, Fred Bryant, and behind them is a young woman in Uncle Sam's uniform. She is Elizabeth Holmes. Yes, she has joined her brother in the air force. Of course, there are those who could not come and sent telegrams of regret. Florence Haynes, Sarah McPhatter, Zella Williams, and Lionelle White have gone back to our Alma Mater to teach and the principal would not give them the time off. James Braswell is now Hunting- ton's basketball coach. Well he had plenty of experience in his senior year so I can see why he is doing such a good job. Word has come that Johnnie Knox, and Ward Johnson have joined the Navy to see the world through a port hole and would not be pres- ent. Ruth Williams, Margaret Barrett, and Betty Jarrett are attending the National Beauticians Convention in California. Mazelle Outlaw, Queenie Outlaw, Loretta Gayle and Olivia Gar- rett are now living in Germany with their hus- bands who are in the United States Army. Dorothy Sykes is vacationing in Canada. Cozelle Upshur is on a singing tour in the Eastern part of the country. Annie Brown, Emma Rich- ardson, the Riddick sisters, Doris Palmer and Mary Coefield are still residing in Newport News and could not come because of their families. After sampling a buffet of lobster newberg, cold salmon, and fruit tarts prepared by the noted dieticians, Arnette Merritt, and Ethel Roane, all the guests, except Dilsie Graham, the public accountant, who was busy figuring the expenses of the evening, sang their class song and bade each a pleasant farewell. |, | 3 | WE, | | | || ІІ || ІЛІМІ, ||| IIL |. el | || | || | [o 1 — Aul | | | | س‎ E He i —— rn má nd e ——-— и ar: — 一 = SEZ vio HINA T Br ” = ина mano INJA ТЕМТН LLI а сё O ее. 9444. жаа иттін 3 kr I.

Most teen-agers make it a daily habit to read the news- papers. Maybe they turn first to comics and sports, but they absorb national and international news, too. Here's an idea worth adopting. Reading newspapers regularly helps anyone get along better in business and social life. It gives him background knowledge.
