Tennyson — oh, yes — he was poet laureate of England for Victoria, wasn’t he? Idly 1 turned the pages — then stopped— my eyes fell on these lines: “For I dip’t into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders that could be. “Saw the heavens filled with commerce, argosies of magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales. Heard the heavens filled with shouting and there rained a ghastly dew From the nations’ airy navies, grappling in the central lilue. Why, he even saw the hope of the hopeful — the Federation of Man. Tennyson was a wonderful man, I thought. He dip’t into the future. 1 leaned back, closed my eyes. Ah, Tennyson had put me into the proper mood — for suddenly — clear and crystallized — “For I dip’t into the future, far as human eye could see,” Saw the Class of ' 41 — Cradock High — it seemed to be — Hazel Pearman replacing Miss Graves.

That can ' t be me! Donald Bolding — old atid gray! From going to Cradock High School, He got that way! The Admiral 1941 CLASS HISTORY r WAS early in September, 1937 — a calm, peaceful, autumn day. I ' he good ship Cradock High School, stood at anchor at the wharf ready to begin another four- year voyage over new and untried waters to the Land of Wisdom. As the ship stood at anchor on that eventful morning in September, the passengers began to arrive, and to me was entrusted the important task of writing the log of the voyage — the voyage that, even then, we all realized was to be the most important of our lives. ' e were informed that it would take four years to complete the four laps of the voyage. W’e started our voyage of High School life over the Freshman Sea with Miss Elizabeth Duke as captain. I ' he ofheers were: Francis Matthews, Fresident; Everett Ripley, Vice- f resident ; John Casteen, Secretary-Treasurer, ’ith this crew in charge, we sailed along smoothly until June. W ' e could hardly realize that the first year of our voyage had been completed. V ' e began our second year on the Sophomore Sea, and again Miss Duke was our captain. W’e elected Margaret Batzold, President; John Casteen, Vice-President; and Marguerite Treiber, Secretary-Treasurer. Again we had a very etiicient crew, which piloted us successfully through the second year of our voyage — thus completing the first half of our journey. W’e began the second half of our journey and the third year on the Junior Sea. Miss Duke, having served us well for two years, was elected again as our captain. Jimmy I ' avlor-was elected President; John W’inn, Vice-President; Margaret Batzold, Secretary; and Charles Stainback, ' Preasurer. We charted our course with, “He who studies, prospers,” and Hew the colors of Blue and White. I ' his year we were hosts to the Seniors on the memorable night of April 26. W’e were complimented on the excellent selection of an orchestra, and the Junior- Senior was a great success. Then came June, and at last the long-awaited fourth and last year of our voyage. Entering the Senior Sea, we met with many mishaps. Our captain. Miss Helen Haines, had been called to another position and we faced the problem of guiding our ship into port with- out a captain. W’e are proud that ours is the Hrst class to work through a Planning Committee. Each Senior activity was planned by class committees with the guidance of an elected facidty member. The class elected very efficient officers to guide the various enterprises. The officers were: Jimmv Taylor, President; Charles Stainback, Vice-President; Doris Knowles, Secretary; and Maragret Batzold, Preasurer. In October we selected our rings with the usual discussion. In November the Class went to W ' illiamsburg, Virginia, and attended the Home-Coming Cele- bration of W’illiam and Mary College. W’e also attended the football game, in which W ' illiam and Marv defeated the University of Virginia. Also, in November, we initiated the freshmen and new-comers into high school life. In December the Class spent a delightful evening at Citv Park, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. The many dances sponsored by the Class added to the social enjoyment of the school. After the dreaded mid-term exams, we picked the Admiral Staff, and then started the task of taking pictures for the annual. On February 14, the annual Odds and Ends” minstrel was presented to a very large audience, under the excellent direction of Miss Haverty, with a large cast of seniors. After much disctission, we selected our invitations in March. I ' hen started the usual task of selecting the cast for the Class play, “One Wild Night.” ' Phis was presented on . pril 18, and was pronounced a great success by all who attended. On March 31 the tides of time were turned back, and we became babies once more. On April 25 we were honored guests at the annual Junior-Senior Dance. In May the Class enjoyed a sight-seeing trip to the National Capital. V ' e relin |uished all our sorrows at the Senior Burial and brought our ship into port with the usual functions — the Ban |uet, Baccalaureate Sermon, Class Night and Commencement. Phis year the annual proved to be the finest in the history of the school. riuis our vovage is at an end, and we are now beginning another and longer voyage — the V’oyage of Real Life. W ' e hope that we have left as much to Cradock High as she has given to us. WILLIAMSBURG OCTOBER baby pay ARCH 31 The L dhniral - 1941 CLASS POEM The time has come when we must part From friends we know and hold so dear, From all the old familiar things That knit us closer year by year. But tho its sad and we would stay, ’e watch the banners now unfurled. And bright and new with dreams of life That whisper loud, “Yours is the world.” So here’s to the night of nights for us. To hopes that we some day may say “Success is ours, the dreams came true. The banners still are bright and gay.” — Mary Pearson CLASS SONG LET’S BE BUDDIES In the years we have known Our friendships have grown But the time’s drawing nigh To say good-bye to our school With the memories so dear We leave you with a tear And sadly we depart With hopes in every heart. Another milestone won Another task well done W ' e leave you now with Ambitions rising high. The road’s long and winding But we’ll find our Farewell, Cradock High We fondly bid you adieu. — Margaret Batzold The (tJldmiral - 1941 CLASS PLAY THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1941, CRADOCK HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS “ONE WILD NIGHT” By Guernsey LePelley Directed by Ruth Haverty Assistant — Peggy Warren Rodney Dodd Henrietta JODWILLOW Charlotte Allen Aunt Myra Dr. Bell Nurse Trent Ned Steerwell__.

I’he County Championship was won by the y dmirals through successive victories over the Class B conference schools. Early in December the Admiral ' s basketball season got under way with five veterans and a newcomer. Bill Lane. Lane was high point player with 275 points to his credit. The major defeat of the season was administered by the Admirals when they defeated Portlock to break that team ' s 28th straight victory and to chalk up a second County championship. W ith six of last year ' s letter players returning for more basketball, the girls went through a victorious season. I ' ndefeated by any team in the Class B league, the Cradock girls won the Norfolk County championship. d ' he thriller of the season was played at Cradock with the St. Joseph ' s Academy, which ended in a 25-25 tie. W ith most of last year ' s lettermen returning, the boys ' and girls ' baseball teams are expecting a season of victories, and with them the fourth and fifth championships. ' The track team looks forward to its annual meet at W illiam and Mary, and its victorious trip to Charlottesville to participate in the State track finals.

The Frisco, with its variations, was danced to “Beat Me Daddy, 8-to-the Bar,” “Rhum Boogie,” and “Frenesi.” The boys wore trench coats with slacks and shirts with detachable collars. Bank Night every Thursday crowded the Afton. lumper dresses and bows in back of a girl’s pompadour were popular. The fav ' orite rendezvous was the drug store practically every night. 7’he boys’ hot socks and saddle oxfords hit you between the eyes. The world was a-gog over the first peace-time conscription and the first third term President. Long pearls worn with pastel sweaters were just the thing. The he-men of Cradock High swiped their girl friend’s pin, ribbons, et cetera, and proudly wore them on their sweaters. ' Fhere were not enough chairs to provide for the influx of new pupils. Plaid, pastel skirts (short) were worn with trotter shoes and socks. Rodman’s or Pete’s was the place to go for square dogs. Cradock Gardens and New Gosport were infants-in-arms. The boys wore baby-blue trousers with glass belts and smoked 2 for 5c cigars. X ' isits to the new wing to view progress on the Cafeteria was a daily occurrence. A person who was darhig enough skipped a class to go to the drug store for a Pepsi-Cola and two straws.
