Male.1 AAor a h CLASS HISTORY ( V we are Seniors and our school days are over; those happy days and years we spent together have now come to an end. But before we pass along let’s look back a few chapters in our lives to the time when — It was a sunny autumn day in September of 1938, and everything was just dandy I to us, Freshmen. We had just come into high school and thought we owned the whole place; but then came Supreme Court and we were put in our proper places. Well, finally after settling down we chose Miss Phyllis Ferguson for our sponsor, and tor our class officers Wilma Clapper as President; Shirley Lewis as V’ice-President, and Ruth Shafer as our Secretary. Our first year of high school passed and June was there before we knew it. Then came our Sophomore year and we again selected Miss Phyllis Ferguson tor our sponsor. We then elected Donald Bolding, President; Clarence Taylor, Vice-President; and Cornelia Gregory, Secretary. With these officers and sponsor we completed our second year ot high school and were now halt way through with our trip. Chapter III. B ’ now we thought we were getting somewhere. It was the third leg ot our journey and so to begin with we selected Miss Dorothy Pettus for our Junior Sponsor and for our class officers we chose for President, Buddy Dunn; for Vice-President, Smokey Broughton; for Secretary, James Martin, and tor Treasurer, Cornelia (iregory. The big event of the year came on .■ pril 2.5 when we honored the -Senior Class of ’41 with the annual Junior-Senior Dance. During this year many new pupils came into our class and school but as in the year betore we went “Onward ever; backward never!”, this being our motto for the last two years. Came June, much, much too quickly and we realized that three ot the short years ot high school were now behind us. Thus ended Chapter III. Chapter 15’. ' I ' he greatest one of all; the one that passed all too quickly. We got down to busi- ness right away and chose Miss P.velyn Byrd for our sponsor and J.ack Wilstrup for President; James Martin tor 5 ' ice-President; Julia .Albert tor Secretary and Cornelia Gregory for Treasurer. Red and white were chosen official Senior colors along with our motto, “Don’t wait for your ship to come in; swim out to meet it!” The “tresh” Freshmen were put in their righttul places by our Supreme Court on October 28. .Alter much discussion we selected our rings, invitations and finally our caps and gowns. With the mid-term exams safely in the backgroud we started practice for the third in our series of “Odds and F.nds” ministrel under the direction of Miss Ruth Haverty. It was given February 26 and 27 at school and March 14 at the USO Club. The annual was planned to be bigger and better than ever this year so the staff was chosen November 28, and work was begun on the usual picture- taking and the job of getting enough ads. By now the time for the Senior Play had arrived and we picked out “The Merry Hares” and the usual task of selecting a cast and practice was started. It was greeted by a tull house in May and was pronounced a great success. .All tormalities were dispensed with on April 1, our annual “baby day,” when we all became babies once more. In May we were the honored guests at the annual Junior-Senior Dance. These were the days when “jitter-bugging” was in full swing and all the “bugs” had a chance to show their ability. .At the Senior Burial all of our grievances were buried with much ado and with this our year was just about ended. With the Senior Banquet, the Baccalaureate Sermon, Class Night and Commence- ment we wrote the “finis” to Chapter IV. Thus we end the last chapter in our school life, those happy days we spent at Cradock High are now just a memory. Here we bid our .Alma Mater adieu with the sincere hope that she will continue to serve the youth ot our community as she served us. Robert Glenn Jackson, Esq., B.B.S. Ph.D. A.B. D.D. CLASS PROPHECY March, 1952. Dearest; Honestly, the people one doesn’t see nowadays! Why last nite at the theatre who should walk in on the arm of M ’alter Powell, the world’s best and handsomest photographer, but that glamourous artist, Jeanette Lewis! You should have seen the gown she had on. None other than a Story creation; it was superb! .All tulle and just dripping with sequins and jewels in the Story manner. I can remember when Carolyn Story was just starting out on Sixth .Avenue, and now she’s on Fifth .Avenue rivaling Saks. .Also in the audience were the Gardner twins, Margie and Margaret, practicing their famous magical act that stunned and still continues to stun the world; wrapping their husbands around their little fingers. They really attracted attention, too. .Almost stole the show from Frances Knox. This is without a doubt F ' rances’ best play to date. A ' ou simply must see it when you come home. It is a satire on “The Little Foxes,” and F ' rances has done a wonderful writing job. Hollywood was well represented. FJhabeth Shaw, that singing, slinky siren of Collossal Films, was escorted by that dancing sheik, Heyward McElveen. I wonder where Dorothy IVright, his dancing partner was? Probably out with Totn Case, that sports writer who has made such a name for himself. Torntny Luke, the convertible auto magnet, sauntered in at 100 miles an hour with Ora Wheatley, recently voted first among .America’s ten best dressed women. She had on a green and purpile affair that was so intricately made that I just can’t begin to describe it. Sorry I don’t wirte newsier letters, but nothing ever seems to happen. Lovingly, Ina Mae. March, 19.52. Dearest: Had lunch at the Colony Club today with Nancy Crane anti Ruth Batrow, editor-in-chief and die- tician respectively of A’ogue. Which reminds me, I saw the most adorable evening gown in Vogue’s current issue. Just oozing with oomph, and just within our budget limit. I can’t remember whether it was $400 or .$.500. .Anyhow you’ll get the bill the first of the month. It won’t be an .April Fool. To get back to the luncheon. I saw Vincent Cherry, the mathematician, and the scientist, Jean Everton. They were reported to be engaged by Clara Heybach, the gossip columnist. That’s one time Clara slipped up. She’s hardly ever wrong. She dropped in the other night to get some extra tips on the play, and her hat was the cutest thing I’ve seen in a decade. .All metal. Harold Schultneyer, the dapper movie heartbreaker, was lunching with his press agent and publicity manager, Tom Hathaway. The way those autograph hounds surround him is simply disgraceful. He was dressed in the latest of the latest. I think it’s a shame the way he keeps Ruth Shafer so busy. She had to answer all that tan mail by herself, you know. You really should have been home last week. I was very pleasantly surprised when two of the nicest young married couples from home dropped in to see me. Jack Wilstrup, who is now foreman of the sheet metal department in the Nav ' y Yard, and Jerry Ward, his devoted wife, still make such a cute couple. They had just missed Wade Foster, who is now head supervisor for the Greyhound Lines in A ' irginia, and his wife, Ethel Hull. F ' rom the four of them I really learned a lot of gossip about so many of my former friends from home. To hear tell. Jack Bushnell has gone back to F ' lorida and is now in the hotel business down there. I really do think we should stay there on our next F ' lorida trip. Cassie Dibble is now assistant principal at Cradock School. She seems to be doing a swell job and fills the place admirably. Valentine Ripley and Bob Kane have taken over all the movie theatres in Portsmouth, and are thinking of buying the entire Wilder chain. Aubrey Houghton, pardon me. Lieutenant Commander .Aubrey Houghton, is now in full command of Pearl Harbor, and Major Billy De Loache is head master at Massanutten Military .Academy. Katherine Atkins is now happily married and is President of the Cradock Women’s Club. Mary Reichle is also residing in Cradock and is enjoying a happy marriage, but sorry to say, Mary is only 5 ' ice-President of the Women’s Club. Doris Byers is now in charge of Woolworth’s, manager. I hope to see her on her forth coming trip to New York. The conversation was most interesting, and 1 was sorry to see them go. Eva Martin had the world premiere of her new .African film at the Radio City Music Hall. Clara Heybach and 1 went. The gossip that girl doesn’t know. The picture was a huge success. You really must see it. We shared a box with Norma Smith, the National President of the .American Red Cross. Clara tried to pump her the whole evening. She’s even willing to risk friendships for her column. A’esterday 1 saw Ellen Adams, head of City Hospital, on F ' ifth .Avenue. That girl is working too hard, but she seems to thrive on it. We received an invitation today to attend a party that James Martin, the country’s current favorite novelist, and Dorothy Weaver, the Metropolitan’s great dramatic soprano, are throwing jointly. Dot and Jimmy also called up to make sure we’d be there and were brokenhearted when I told them you were out of town. Simply everyone is going to be at the party. I’ll write you and tell all. Life gets duller and duller. Lovingly, Ina Mae. March, 1952. Dearest; The party was a howling success! 1 never saw so many celebrities in my whole life. Mabel Morgan, that dare-devil newspaper woman, was telling me about her most hair raising exploits. She has really nerves of steel. Robert Jackson, the head designer of planes and aerial radios at Lockheed, flew in from the coast just for the blowout. With him was Jule Albert, the current toast of New York. Jule still retains her title of Champion Woman Bowler of the Eastern Seaboard. Carohn Whyte was unusually quiet. She had just bought some Glenn Miller records that after- noon and insisted on playing them all evening. She carries those records everywhere she goes. Hilda Perkins, the famous milliner, ami Skeets Taylor, were haml holding. “Skeets” now owns Madison Square Ciarden and is a great sports promoter. Diti you know that Hilda makes all of his hats? , s you probably know, Shirley Lewis, the champion woman wrestler, is defending her title at the Ciarden tomorrow night. .Almost everyone is going to stay over to see the bout. Rear .Admiral Talmadge Mountcastle and Alva Koon, top make-up artist at Paramount Studios, dropped in at the apartment after breakfast had been served at the party. We had everything from soup to nuts for breakfast. It seems that conversation just flourishes early in the morning, and espe- cially after a party. It was certainly true of ours. However, the main topic of conversation was about the forth coming cross country rocket ship race. Jean Pool, ace woman rocket ship pilot and test pilot, seems to be the country’s favorite. M ' , but that girl has certainly chalked up a record! I’ve been planning on having her over for dinner, but she moves so last I can’t keep up with her. My, but one just doesn’t see one’s friends anymore. Where is everybody these days? Lovingly, Ina Mae. April, 19.52. Dearest: Well, another month is here. It certainly did come in with a bang! Too bad you missed the wonderful party I threw. I’m sending you the bill in this letter. I neglected to tell you in my last letter that Billy Kincaid is now supervising the Norfolk Navy A’ard in Portsmouth, and Dr. John Ewen is the A ' ard’s doctor and is bandaging all casualties very well. You should have been here for the opening of Phyllis Harrell ' s new musical. I think it’s marvelous the way she has combined her dancing with her modelling for Powers. She really gets prettier every day. The show opened Monday at the Schubert I ' heatre. Marie Hamilton even gave her a good notice. I know the show will be a big success because priase from that critic really makes you. John Peterson directed the extravaganza and designed the sets. Ann Gettier designed the costumes. When I went backstage after the show, she told me of her new job. She was just commissioned to paint the murals for the new post office building. .After theatre we all went to the Swank Club, Donald Smith ' s new place. It is positively too lovely for words. Donald, himself, showed us to our table. I was just thrilled to tears. Dorothy Dunn quit her job at the Stork Club just to get the chance to open with her orchestra at the Swank. She had on the most stunning gown you ever saw. Cornelia Gregory, the thrush, is getting star billing. She improves every time I hear her. Confidentially, she told me that she is planning a show on Broadway for next season. I heard from Virginia Dornme, that head librarian at the Library of Congress. “Pete” is having right much trouble now. She’s having nightmares about books. I invited her up for a tew days. Shirley Casteen, the Star’s society editor, also wrote me. It seems that on that South .American cruise she took she ran into none other than that world famed meteorologist, Joe Taylor. Then guess whom they ran into on the boat? None other than Ernest Dent, that roving foreign correspondent for the Portsmouth Star. I just know owner Betty Crane misses him terribly. He’s the Star’s star reporter. I feel so good now. Mary Ellen Letsinger ' s Morning Sunshine Program always cheers me up so much. Her guest star was none other than Elizabeth Coshatt, that expert writer and lecturer on Egpy- tology. She has done so much work with Catherine Miller, Dean of Women at the University of Vir- ginia. A ou know, Catherine was so instrumental in getting the LIniversity to go co-educational. I’m sending you a copy of Marilyn Ridgeway ' s newest book on art with pictures of her own work. The Metropolitan Museum of .Art is having an exhibition of her most recent works this week. I he book is published by Majorie Taylor ' s company. That girl really knows how to pick best sellers. My new watch came from the jewelers today. It’s a new Margaret Crist design and just about the prettiest watch you ever saw. Margaret is really designing some unusual pieces this year. I’m seriously thinking of letting her handle our new silver pattern. She has such unusual taste. Angeline Matthews caused quite a sensation at the exhibition of her new model skyscraper. The plans are simply magnificent! It was so cleverly arranged. We were all dumbfounded! Ivan, I really think we should let her design our new home. She’ll be able to build a nice room for you to putter around in and build your bridges. Don’t work too hard in South .America. Lovingly, Ina Mae. CLASS POEM Although the time is drawing near When we must part from friends so dear, NVe look back on those golden days And sometimes wonder in amaze. At first a captain tor our crew And then to help him — just a tew W ere chosen for their leadership, Then set to guide our sturdy ship. Sometimes the ship would toss and turn On that great sea ot “Teach and Learn,” But with the help ot our good crew That captain brave would steer us through. .And now that we have crossed the sea Our flag cries out, “To dctory!” Although that battle has been won, A greater fight has just begun. — Ci.AR.A Elizabeth EIevbach CLASS SONG I ' O DEAR OLD CRADOCK HIGH (Navy, Blue and Gold) Our school days to an end have come, -And parting time is near. Eor many happy days we’ve had -And friendships we hold dear. So tried and true we say to you Our last and fond good-bv. W e’ve given years ot faithfulness d o dear old Cradock High. We border on the future now, -And know not what’s in store. But what we’ve learned at Cradock High. Will serve us evermore. And as we journey on life’s way.

Due to the injuries of many ot the players, the .Admirals went through the most unsuccessful season in the past years, d ' he record of this year stands, two (2) wins, one (D tie, and seven (7) defeats. d ' he boys’ Basketball Squad with five (5) lettermen and Coached by Dick Daughtrey, returned to school to win the Norfolk County Championship for the third straight year. The record for the season was ten (10) wins against ten (10) defeats. With four (4) lettermen left from last year, the girl’s sextette, under the ex- cellent coaching of Miss Duke played brilliant basketball throughout the season, being set back by only one competitive team. Following previous years the team came through with another County Championship. •Although the girl’s softball and boy’s baseball teams are not in full swing there has been a very good showing and we wish the best of luck to them.
