We are conscious of the many sacrifices that you have made for our happi- ness and security. With these things in mind we are especially proud of our dedication for this year, for we can find no one more deserving than you, our parents. “The seniors were discussing the dedication of the annual a few days ago. I think it would be a great idea to dedicate it to our parents.” “This would be a good way to show our appreciation for all the things they have done for us.” “Yes, and they have put up with us when no one el e could.” “We should mention how they have given up much time and money, so we could go to dances, make trips, and have the things we wanted and needed.” “When we needed help with our problems our parents were always ready to help us.” “They usually get a laugh too out of our fashions such as knee socks and middy blouses.” “Just think of the number of times they have sewed the letters on our sweaters, washed our argyles, and ironed our pink shirts.” “We have a good idea here. Let’s get it into writing.” L_l I ADMINISTRATION Mr. John S. Hehetick, M.A. Assistant Principal University of Virginia Latin ADMINISTRATION hh Mr. Walter R.

Right where it is supposed to be.” Ronnie Boswell AND Frances Fairburn “Tests coming up. It’s a good thing we have a mimeograph machine to save the students pages and pages of writing.” Ruth Fortune “Miss Mahaney, here’s the absentee list. There are several announcements at the bottom.” Shelby Schumaker and Shirley Miller “Your attention, please. The following students report to the counseling room.” Regena Deane “Anno uncements, menus, schedules, letters and trans- cripts are piling up. Maybe I’ll finisf by activity period.” U- U Francis J.

OFFICERS Carroll Clark President Joyce Bennett Vice-President “Well, we finally reached our goal. It was a struggle, but we loved every minute of it.” Reva Crowder Secretary Mary Carolyn Jamison T reasurer “Who could ever forget the thrill of at- tending the big dance of our junior year?” “Which of us will ever forget that “dread- ed” day of initiation? It wasn’t as terrify- ing as I e.xpected it to be. In fact, I enjoyed it as much as, if not more than, our tormentors.” “What did you wear? I must have looked like an invader from Mars. I felt that the sloppy sweater I wore was down to my knees.” “Did you have more fun in your junior year initiating the sophomores or plan- ning the Junior-Senior Prom? ’’ “Remember how excited we were when our class rings finally arrived? They seemed to symbolize the standings of the seniors.” “It made us feel like big shots to march down the aisle to assembly while our lower classmen stood for the Alma Mater. ” “To my sorrow it is all just about over now, as we near graduation. Yes, I am reluctant to say “goodbye” to C.H.S., the faculty, and our underclassmen.” 22 Clarence Edward Arritt Mildred Bethania Andrews Mary Jo Bailey Jenny Lee Andrews Mont Bay Anderson Nancy Mae Baker CLASS Jerry Hunter Ballengee Roland Bobby Barrett Paul Winslow Beazley Virginia Brent Ballengee Marlene Yvonne Bartley Joyce Mae Bennett 23 Patricia Mae Bishop Roselle Frances Bowman Earl Lee Brown Thomas Stuart Blankenship Robert Franklin Brinkley SENIOR Ann Virginia Burns Jean Marie Byer Lois Ellen Bryan Albert Leon Byer, Jr. John Lee Cahoon 24 Ronnie Berkley Campbell Shelby Jean Carper Patricia Ann Cash Floyd Thomas Carpenter, Jr. Judith Ann Carter Patricia Luise Cobb Ronald Evans Coiner Emmett Bertrand Cottrell 25 Keren Lee Coxe Randall Maynard Craft Reva Marlene Crowder Alma Ruth Craft Reba Marie Crowder Shelby Jean Crowder SENIOR Mary Deanna Davis j f ' l Laura Ellis Deffinbaugh Linda Mae Dickson Regena Christene Deane Leon Alden DeHart, Jr. Myrna Delores Dilley 26 Ronald Evans Downer Jacqueline Carol Eubank Ruth Naomi Fortune Betty Jean Dressler Freddie Jerome Firebaugh Joyce Marie Gabbert James Robert Gibson Dennis Lanier Groves 27 Donald Lee Hambric John Lawrence Harrington, Jr. Virgil Jackson Harmon, Jr. Marie Wyatt Haynes Robert Coe Haynes James Monroe Haynes Willis Eugene Hatcher SENIOR i 1 Virginia Ann Hite Carolyn Lee Hoff Gary Curd Hodges George Roscoe Hepler, Jr. Harriet Melissa Hayslett 28 Shelvajean Carol Hubbard Calvert Hale Humbert, Jr. Phyllis Jean Humphries Bertrand Ryland Hudnall, II Mack Edward Humphries James Allen Hunter CLASS Sylvia Jean Jackson Charlotte McClure Johnson Mary Carolyn Jamison Margaret Louise Johnson Robert Lee Johnston, Jr. Nancy Carroll Keller 29 f William Frazier King Evelyene Frances Lambert Donald Robert Keyser Joyce Anne Leffel Bettie Lynn Leitch Patsy Ann Knick SENIOR, Forrest Wayne Lindsay Powell Murry Leitch, Jr. Shirley Ann Linkenhoker Carl Edward Linkenhoker Nancy Carol Lockhart 30 Betty Jo Looney Priscilla Jane Mahaney Nellie Jane Martin Mary Darlene Luchard Norma Maxine Mann Robert Eugene Miller Charles Layman Morgan Nancy Lee McAllister 31 1 Patrick Joseph McCarthy Catherine Anne McCormick 3 Richard Graham Nahouse SENIOR Sue Ellen Null Laura Jean McDonald Claude Ashton McMilhon Shirley Ann McFadden Patsy Carol O ' Dell Juanita Darlene O’Conner Linwood Andrew Paxton Agnes Louise Orndorff Harry Allen Persinger 32 Sara Lu Persinger Charles Lester Putnam Mildred Cornelia Reed Jesse Edward Pullin, Jr. Margaret Ellen Ralsten CLASS Barbara Grey Roberts John Sylvester Reid Joyce Anne Reynolds Shirley Ann Rogers Harry Miller Ritsch Charles Lane Rogers Sylvia Jean Rogers 33 Charles Arthur Rohr John Robert Rose Bertrand Raymond Seay Norma Louise Shears Robert Steele Shifflet Dreama Jordan Shawveh Sylvia Jean Sheppard Juanita Sue Sibold 34 George Junior Simmons James Morgan Simmons Rachel Ann Simmons Jack Wallace Smith Mary Elizabeth Sluss CLASS Virginia Lee Snead Shirley Rosemary Smith Muriel Louise Smith Romie Edward Smith William Howard Snead Terry Eugene Southers James Edward Sprouse 35 Helen Marie Stalcup Harriet Holmes Stone Bertha Joyce Sutphin Frederick James Stokey, III Barbara Lou Stuart Donald Louis Swihart SENIOR Leola Virginia Thacker Donald Woodrow Tingler Gordon Edward Tucker Shelby Jean Thompson Betty Reese Tucker Deloris Ann Tyree Richard Glendon Tyree Mollie Jo VanLear Bessie Ann VanDevender Arnold Louis Warlitner CLASS Thomas Daniel Warlitner Neola Jean Welch Martha Louise Walters Doris Marie Varner Samuel James Wilhelm Gary Burdette Watts Ronald Lee Wilhelm Fred Wade Williams 37 Tho mas Meredith Winn, Jr. Charlotte Mae Wolfe George Hilson Wood Calvin Ray Worley Minnie Jean Woodson SENIOR CLASS Betty Elizabeth Wright Martha Kaye Worsham Helen Jean Young James Lee Young Woodrow Murray Young 38 Wallace Overton Adcox Kenneth Franklin Andrews William Arthur Bird Ronald Lee Boswell Theodore Payne Bowen Charles Thomas Brill Alice Lee Coffey James Bright Corbin Sybil Jean Farmer Charles David Croves Patricia Anne Harrington Sue Ellen Henderson POST GRADUATES Mary Ann Jackson Arthur Lee Kraus Wanda Maye Lewis Ronald Lewis Mahaney Donald Lee Riley Shelby Jean Schumaker Mary Eloise Seay Robert Lewis St. Clair Bobbie Joe Tucker Robert Randolph Vail Linda Ann Vess Anna Seward Wallace Stone, Hardy, Boone, Mackey, Miss Carr JUNIOR OFFICERS David Hardy President Dayton Stone Vice-President “Gee Whiz! Hasn’t this year been a whirl wind of events? It seems impossible that it s almost over and just think soon we will be seniors. ” “I’ll never forget the struggle I had with those battles in American History.” “Longfellow, Irving, and Bryant are em- bedded in my brain forever. ” “What about those constructions that were drilled into our heads in geometry? Bet they will follow us to our graves. ” “Initiation Day was really a highlight of Charles Boone Secretary Mary Ellen Mackey T reasurer the year. It was fun to display our powers over the new Sophomores. ” “We really put our hearts into our work on the Prom, and I think the Seniors really appreciated our efforts. Just think, ne.xt year the Sophomores will be doing all that for us. ” “Yes, the walls and halls of C.H.S. have really been good to us this year. The memories and good times will live with all of us forever; someday even our grandchildren will hear the tales of our junior year at dear ole’ C.H.S.” 40 Henry Hollis Agnor Evilee Merial Ailstock Mary Eloise Ailstock Virginia Belle Ailstock Ann Clementine Andrews Carol Elizabeth Andrews Kelly Eugene Andrews Sara Nair Armstrong James Lewis Arrington Edward Franklin Back, Jr. Alvin Jackson Ballard John Thomas Ballengee Alma Lee Bartley Carol Ann Baugher Ronald Eugene Biggs V ' .

Well, I never did til my first week at C.H.S. Gee, did you have the trouble I did trying to work the com- bination on your locker? “I never thought I’d remember which steps to use or on what floor my classes were held. I don’t know what I would’ve done without the help of the upperclass- men. ” “Weren’t they always so calm and collect- ed? And the smug look on the faces of the juniors didn’t help matters at all. In fact, I never felt at home until after that dreaded day of initiation.” “The dissecting in biology class was loads of fun but the smell of formaldehyde al- most drove me from the lab.” “Latin and Algebra were difficult at times but a little extra burning of midnight oil usually brought me through.” Yes, I think we all enjoyed our first year and are anticipating the years to come.” 50 Deanna Lorain Ailstock Murray Wilson All Glendon Earl Angell Henry Watson Baker William Barber Dewey Frank Bazzarre Stanley Hamlin Bazzrea Peggy Sue Beverage Wenton Lloyd Blevins Mary Yvonne Boerner Earl Roosevelt Bostic Juanita Frances Bowen Audrey Eveleen Brill Ryland Bertrand Brisendine Mary Marshall Brooks Shirley Rebecca Broughman Charles Raymond Brubeck Ellenne Frances Burks John Howard Burns James Roman Bush Grover Hartford Byer A1 Don Campbell Doris Jane Campbell Ruth Ellen Campbell SOPHOMORE CLASS Howard Lee Carpenter Lawrence Leo Carpenter Algene Aliese Carter Roy Burton Carter George Washington Cash David Louis Catlett Daryl Wayne Catron Patricia Anne Chamberlain Betty Ann Charles Judy Kay Clemons Pliyllis Yvonne Cobb Arelene Jewell Collins Donald Cook Jerry Cornell Aileen Betty Counts Grover Nelson Craft Jackie Eugene Crawford Thomas Crawford David Oakley Crookshanks Eugene Walter Crowder Robert Eugene Croyle Alice Faye Dame Loretta Fay Dame Donna Marie Davis Mary Elizabeth Davis Sandra Jean DeHart Oscar Bernard Downey Dreama Dolores Duncan Ralph Eugene Dunn William Frederick Earehart Sylvia Kay Entsminger Thelma Jean Erwin William Henry Estepp Amelia Estridge Robert Ray Fairbum Norman Wayne Felty James Edward Fisher Freddie Fix David Allen Fleming Virginia Lee Ford Thomas Douglas Frame Virginia Sue Freasier Harrison Lewis Fridley, Jr. Phyllis Marie Gibbs Jeffrey William Gibson Zeddie Fay Gooch Norma Jean Goodwin Willie Roger Ham Gharles Barnett Hammond Howard Revercomb Hammond Helen Irene Hawkins Gharles Alfred Hazen Garol Jean Hedge Gene Decator Hedgepath William Alvin Helmintoller Laverne Dae Henning Ralph Edward Hepler Patricia Louise Heydrick Danny Bernard Hill Harriet Gatherine Hill Barbara Frances Hoke Thomas Edward Horton, Jr. David Warren Humphries Garland Ray Humphries Nancy Pearl Humphries Ruby Louise Humphries Arthur Maxwell Jackson Gorena Alice Jackson Frances Virginia Jackson Lelia Jane Jamison Audrey Grey Johnson Harriet Ann Johnson SOPHOMORE Jilleen June Johnson Maurice Johnson Harold Wayne Jones Lloyd Garland Kelley Sandra Jean Kelley James Preston Kern Phyllis Diane Kersey Thomas Dewayne Keyser Alice Faye La Brie Paul Wayne Lacks Gregory Benedict Lawless Robert Preston Leitch Ronald Edwin Lipes Jerry Allen Loan Thomas Lester Lockhart Betty Sue Long Garol Mae Lugar William Berkley Markham Boyd Franklin Martin Donald Francis Martin Franklin Albert Martin Kenneth Douglas Martin Alvin Theron Meeks Joyce Louise Miller CLASS Barbara June Montgomery Jack Wayne Montgomery Jo Anne Montgomery Nancy Garole Moran Bertrand Ronald Morris Shirley Jean Mottern William Edward Mullins Gharlotte Evelyn Myers Lewis William McGormick Arthur Kerwin McGully Sonny Edward McLain Janet Danise O’Gonner Norma O’Gonner James Leroy Oliver William Ray Orndorff Garrett James Paxton Larry Ray Payton Tulion Franklin Perkins Nadine Elizabeth Persinger Rosa Lee Persinger Gwynette Powers Bertha Marie Pritt Penny Lavinda Puckett Ira Steven Pyle David Carlton Pysell Barbara Jean Reed Nancy Gertrude Reid Melvin Lee Reynolds William Lee Roach Dolores Ann Rogers Mary Alice Rogers Rhoda Lee Rudisill Carlinda Bell Schooler Larry Ernest Scott Thomas Stratton Scott Ruth Louise Sellers Linda Ann Semones Peggy Allen Shannon Richard Wayne Shiflett Ruby Ellen Sink Brenda Joyce Sizemore Hollis Haywood Smith, Jr. Leland Coleman Smith Lenore Marie Smith Norma Jean Smith Shirlene Alice Smith Toby Sue Smith Richard Lewis Snead SOPHOMORE Patricia Sue Snyder Virginia Carolyn St. Clair Frances Miller Steger Edward Mike Suroski, Jr. Nelda Ruth Suroski Cameron Leo Terry Harry Warren Thacker Josephine Thompson James Coleman Thorpe Lottie Louise Van Devender Mollie Louisa Van Devender Arlie Clarice Warwick Kenneth Leroy Whitmore Mary Ellen Williams Barbara Blanche Wilmer John Leslie Wilmer Wallace Fulton Winebriner Willard Cary Winn Larry Emmett Wood Judy Marie Wright Robert Weldon Young First row, left to right: Simmons, Gibson, Thompson, Fleshman, Napier, Perdue, Potter, Miller, McNeeley, Richard, Hall.
