On a bright sunny September morning a group of scared quivering boys and girls entered the great halls of Cradock. These were the poor souls who had so nobly faced the first year of the eighth grade. htlixed with sophomores and juniors throughout the first two years, we were never really a class. Study, study and study some more, the more we learned the more they taught us. Then, before anyone could find out why, We were juniors. Goodness knows we had studied enoughl It was then we dis- covered that the Seniors were not as big as they thought they were. Vile even became their friends and sometimes they would hand down a little popularity to one of our notables. We elected Dickie Soules as our leader. Billy Foxwell became his assistant and Margaret Rasnick lugged our money back and forth from Hijtorwl.. the ofhce. Dear Miss Chitty Cshe's Mrs. Gurganious nowj pro- Donormr THoMAs tected us from the evils we had yet to learn about. Hard work, which was something new to us, had just begun. This We did not realize as we paraded around the school. We were a small group, only 40 in number and the first thing that was thrown our way was the uBall of the Year, the junior-Senior Prom. VVe worked and studied and worked some more. VVe did every thing but tear down the school, determined to make this the best prom ever. We did our best and our efforts were greatly rewarded. At last the day came when we walked into the Halls of Cradock as magnificent Seniors, with Miss Byrd as our guide, to teach us how to be Seniors. She was never too tired or too busy to lend a helping hand. We are indeed grateful for the trust, sincerity and cooperation that she gave us. Our group was smaller now, for many had been trans- ferred or drafted. But at least it was our turn to teach the Freshmen to respect the mighty Seniors. This we did in a big way with Supreme Court. We cut them all down to size and taught them who the bosses were. This year we elected Mickey as our Big Bossf, and Gladys Hasty as Second Big Bossf' Muscular Charles Bass was elected treasurer because if anyone could protect our money it was Charlie. Ever faithful Margaret Rasnick kept our minutes as secretary. To raise funds for the Annual was a big job, for such a small group, but we did it. The Senior girls and boys challenged the lower classes to great games of basketball. VVork, work, we never stopped. Rehearsals began for the Senior plays. This year we staged 3-1-act plays, QUIET PLEASE, 'Til-IE BOND BETWEEN and a WES'l'ERN SKIT in which everyone in the Senior class took part. These were under the leadership of Mrs. Yarborough, Mr. Sindlinger and Miss Fitzgerald. To them we express our deepest ap- preciation for all the work and worry of casting and producing these plays. Then came Baby Day, when we once again returned to our childhood, starched dresses. buggy rides and milk bottles. Oh! 'What a dayl Vile rew u almost over ni fht as the unior and Senior Prom was once more uion 8 P 5 . l us. This time there was no work, just play for us, lt was a fine prom. They did it up in a big way. Then all at once we realized that the end was near with Banquet, Baccalaureate Sermon, and Commencement. Yes. we leave dear Cradock High with tears in our eyes, but we leave with a feel- ing of confidence that the Seniors of 1952 will uphold all we worked to obtain: Honor, Trust, Friendship and Good Spirit. VVe were small in number but lWIGHTY ANIONG THE MASSES. Song BILLIE Foxwsu. and Write a Through these portals one Fine morning, We Sing OUR LAST SONG ITU the tune of thr Wijfenpoof Songj Through the halls of dear ol' Cradock, To the rooms we loved so well, To the dear ol' faculty, and they were swell, Sing the Seniors all assembled with their voices raised on high, And the magic of their singing cast a spell. Yes, the magic of their singing, to the things they loved so well, To the gym, to dear ol' George, and all the rest. We will serenade our Cradock, While hearts and voices last, Then we'll pass and he forgotten with the rest. We are now sad Seniors, to be on our way, By, By, By- We are now sad Seniors, here no more to stay. By, By. By- Boys and Girls not off on a spree.

F A REWELL With their hearts so full of fun, Happy that their school had started, Came the class of '5l. We surprised the other classes, With our love of all the sports, Contests, races, hall and parties, We were fond of every sort. All too soon the years have vanished, Leaving all our joys behind, What the future's holding for us, Rises now to fill our mind. We have loved our Alma Mater, As no other class before, And it's with reluctant footsteps, That we pass out through her door. Farewell to thee, dear Cradock High, As long as heaven holds a sun, May your colors wave triumphant, Is the wish of 'S1. SONYA LEE RA1KE Poem SONYA RAIKE We Make Believe For a Night Unlike the usual three act senior play, the 1951 Seniors presented two one- act plays and a western skit written by the class. The Bond Between, a drama, was directed by Nlr. VVilliam Sindlinger. The plot dealt with the pleas for a stay of execution by Nlrs. Carson CBetsy Daugh- ertyj for her son, to Mrs. Haledon ffilenda Baileyl, the Governor's Wife. Mrs. Haledon's prim secretary was played by Vivian VVright and to add a pretty touch to the deep atmosphere was joan, played by Billie Foxwell. Silence, Pleasefi a comedy was directed by Mrs. Betty .lane Yar- borough. A husband-wife spat about who could go the longest without talking made a laugh filled story. The husband was played by Nick Cardamone and the wife by Witty Carol Smith. Madge and Dolinda, the interfering socialites were Caro- lyn Dean and Dorothy Thomas. The Barroom Scene, a western skit was directed by Miss Cora lXlae Fitzgerald. The cast consisted of: Klaury Vkhite, Nick Cardamone, Dorothy Everett, Betsy Daugher- ty, Glenda Bailey, Billie Foxwell, Lynear Kenrick, Xlickey Riggs, jack Edmonds, Dorothy Thomas, Carolyn Dean, Bunky Yick, Carol Smith, Frankie Johnston, and Mick- ey Riggs' animals.

MILTON DREWER, MISS ELIZABETH WEST The main objective of the sophomore class was to secure warm-up uniforms for the track team. Several ways were suggested as to how we should do this. The president appointed a ways and means committee to look after this. This committee sold drinks and candy at all home basketball games. A sophomore and freshman prom was also suggested. Each member of the class was asked to bring seventy-five cents for class dues. They also received a bid to the prom. The sophomore money was to help buy track uniforms. If any money was left over, it would be put in the treasury to benefit the sophomores when they become juniors.

Our first job was to distribute the handbook to the students so they would be sure to know all the rules and regulations regarding the school, teachers and students. The Council's first meetings were important as everyone was assigned a committee. The committees are: assembly, traffic, cafe- teria, building and grounds, auditorium, ofiice assistance, publicity, point system, service awards. After the basic things had been taken care of, and everyone was settled to his duties, we began our year's work on the five objectives we had drawn-IIp. They are as follows: 1. To build up school spirit by: 1. Increasing support of activities 2. Making an activities ticket 3. Supporting The Bond Issue 4. Emphasizing all phases of school spirit 5. Improving club programs 2. To further the Honor System by: l. Improving our Honor Code 2. Interpreting it to our students 3. Forming an Honor Council 3. To work with the P. T. A. by: 1. Sending a representative to all executive meetings of the P. T. A. 2. Publicizing their meetings HONOR COUNCIL OFFICERS ARTHUR BRANCH .cc cccccc .President NIAVIS DANIELS, .,,,., ,,.Virr Prmidfnz We, the members of the Honor Council, under the guidance and direction of our sponsor, Mr. Stenzel, have attempted this term to promote in this school an atmosphere of honesty and dependability, and to stress further the importance of cleanliness of mind and character to the students of Cradock High School.

I know all looked forward to our first football game on the 21st with Wilson, the spirit was great. After this, the serious study really began and all was well at dear ol' C. H. S. OCTOBER About now the football season was well under way and the boys really fought with all the kids backing them up. Oh yes, the annual staff and class officers were elected. Everyone seemed pleased with the results. NOVEMBER All of our parents came to school to see how we were getting along on the 7th when we had Back to School Night. We got our legal revenge on the uRats and punished them for their unpardonalble crimes against the Seniors on the Zlst, yes, this was Supreme Court Day. On the 22nd, to change the mood, the Norcum Glee Club visited our school, bringing their wonderful songs with them. Of course this whole month we did not forget Home-Coming, and we prepared to meet Danville on the Gridiron. The results were beautiful des-pite the driving rain, and a good time was had by all.', DECEMBER The Christmas spirit reigned, and everyone was looking forward to Kris Kringle's visit later in the month. Basketball season was bringing forth a new kind of spirit and excitement that wasn't felt before. We had a band concert on the 15th, and that night our minstrel Manhatten Madcapsi' burst forth with a show never to be equaled. Black-face, or Diamonds, what made the difference? Our two week vacation started with everyone gay-A Merry X-mas to all. JANUARY The New Year brought us back to school on January Znd with everyone pre- pared to work for the forthcoming exams. For the first time in the history of Cradock We beat both Granby and Maury in basketball which proves we had what it takes. The Seniors were now awarded their long awaited-Class Rings. FEBRUARY Is she your Valentine or mine? This was the question this month around the halls. On the seventeenth, the Monogram Club gave a Sweetheart Ball to answer it. I-t looked like basketball season was over, but track and baseball began with high hopes and a few prayers! The Freshmen challenged the Sophomores to a basketball game at the end of this month and it came out just about even. The freshman girls won, and the freshman 'boys lost. is Varied MARCH This month, above all others, brought more activities to the students. March second brought us our Senior Play, which .broke the usual three act play down to three, one act plays, The Bond Between, Silence, Pleasef' and an Entr' acte about the OV Western Dazef' On the fifteenth and sixteenth of March, the Circus came to town with the entire troop of performers. The Freshman and Sophomores surprised everyone when they gave a Freshman-Sophomore dance in the gym, with our beloved Vagabonds furnishing the music. The Juniors and Sophomores had their playoffs to see who was champion basketball class among the boys. The Juniors proved themselves worthy, and the Senior girls became the undefeated champions among the girls. The Easter Vacation gave us a happy feeling and we all knew that spring was finally in the air. APRIL This month gave our stately Senior Class the appearance of a nursery when we held our Baby Day and did we have fun! The S. C. A. held the Girls Beauty Contest on the sixth and a Queen and two Maids of Honor were chosen. The eleventh brought Career Day to the school with prominent speakers for the many different vocations. Yes, graduation was closer than we realized, and we were just beginning to get used to the idea. MAY The ravin pretties of Cradock really got a chance to show off their beauty on the fourth when the boyis beauty contest was held. Ah! Such grace and poise! The eighteenth really gave us our big day. We had the Frances Bellamy Flag Presentation that day which honored us among all the schools in the United States. That night, among lovely pastel gowns and fragrant fiowers, the Junior- Senior Prom was held at the Suburban Country Club. The Senior Banquet was held later on that month, and this really gave the Seniors a sad and wonderful farewell. JUNE The final exams were brought to a close and the seniors fully realized now that their life in High School was almost ended. The Baccalaureate Service was held the third, and then graduation on the seventh. Many students looked forward to a happy summer vacation and school again in September, but others realized that they would never be back again. This calendar is just a reminder of the events we held close to our hearts in the grand years of 1950 and 1951.

FRANCIS BELLAMY FRANCIS BELLAMY 118922 C193 lj On October 12, 194-3 the Alexander Park High School was the recipient of the Second Annual Bellamy Flag Award. Because this high school is no longer in existence the Award was trans- ferred to Cradock High School on May 18, 1951. Each year, since 1942 when the nation celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Hag of the United States of America, a distinguished high school in a different state has been chosen by Miss Margarette S. Miller, donor of the Award, for the purpose of paying tribute to Francis Bellamy, author of the Pledge of Allegiance. Miss Miller, Portsmouth author of the history, I Pledge Allegiance, originated the idea to perpetuate the memory of Bellamy and to focus attention on an active and progressive high school in the nation. In selecting Cradock High School to represent the State of Virginia, Miss Miller noted its fine spirit: Each year a distinguished high school in a different state is selected for this Award and I am pleased to have Cradock High School represent the State of Virginia. Your active arid inspirational school has impressed me with the 'community spirit' that pervades the student body, as well as the entire community of Cradock. Mr. J. J. Booker, jr., principal of Cradock High School, in acknowledging the Award stated: We feel that it is a distinct honor being conferred on Cradock High School in the light of the nature of the Award and the schools chosen for this Award. We hope that we may be able to merit being numbered among the schools which have been so honored and bring prestige to the Francis Bellamy Award. High schools that have preceded Cradock include: Rome Free Academy, Rome, New York, Ballast Point High School, Tampa, Florfdag Boys Town, Nebraska, McKinley High School, Chicago, Illinois: Lincoln High School, Portland, Oregon: Arsenal Technical Schools, Indi- anapolis, Indiana, Francis T. Nicholls High School, New Orleans, Louisianag and Western High School, Washington, D. C. THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WAS WRITTEN BY FRANCIS BELLAMY OF THE STAFF OF THE YOUTH'S COMPANION, BOSTON, AT THE SUGGESTION OF JAMES B. UPHAM, ONE OF THE PUBLISHERS. IT WAS FIRST USED IN AN OBSERVANCE OF THE 400th ANNIVER- SARY OF COLUMBUS' DISCOVERY OF AMERICA OCTOBER 21, 1892. BELIEVING THAT THE CODE SHOULD BE A STRICTLY UNITED STATES CODE, AT THE WASHINGTON FLAG CONFERENCE, 1923, IT WAS SUGGESTED BY GRIDLEY ADAMS, FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES FLAG FOUNDATION, THAT THE VVORDS MY FLAG BE CHANGED TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND SUCH CHANGE, UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED BY THE CONFERENCE, IS NOW THE GOVERNMENT-ACCEPTED FORM. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands: one nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. to Our Flag THE FRANCIS BELLAMY FLAG AWARD Selection: ,f,......,, -H Defvotions .,,.... f,,..A.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there were things inside our gym that had never before been seen by man and we hope never will again. The C. H. S. Circus was presented on Thursday and Friday nights of March 15 and 16. There was also a matinee on March 15. There were clowns, animals, and Gooks ga- lore and performances by the army, dancers, and tumblers. Never before had such intelligent animals been brought before the public, and as for the rope walkers-well-we've heard that three other cir- cuses are after them. All of the populace of Cradock was overjoyed to find that we had our own private army. After seeing them in action we are sure now, that, in case of war, we shall be properly protected. How- ever, there is a movement on foot to have another army to look after the one we now have. Never again will you hear such a voice as that of our imported barker from Foghorn Island. And -as for tumbling-there are no words to describe it. Such stunts put on by our tumbling team did not take long to learn as we have such intelligent members on our team and in the whole school. The circus was under the direction of Mr. jack Thomas, assisted by Miss Bowman and Miss Dyer. The Ringmaster has dropped his whip and so again we must wait another year for another of the greatest shows on earth, the C. H. S. Circus. Career Day The Guidance Department with the cooperation of the Student Council, faculty and students first held '4Career Day at Cradock High School last year on Nlay 18. It was organized to give all students of the high school an opportunity to gain information concerning their prospective careers after leaving high school. The first Career Dayl' program began at 9:00 o'clock in the school audi- torium and was presided over by Dwayne Black, student council president. Mr. Booker welcomed the Deep Creek Seniors and others guests and speakers. Mr. Charles B. lVlcFee, -lr., Managing Director of the Virginia Retail Merchants Association, gave a fine address on Choosing A Vocationf' Mr. Stenzel intro- duced the forty speakers who represented twenty-four different occupations. Each student then attended two, one hour, group discussions. at Cradock High School PLANNING COMMITTEE Fox CAREER DAY Career Day 1951 April 11, 9:00 A. M. The second annual Career Dayi' program this year was held earlier at the request of the students. The first program was evaluated by the students and Faculty and several new groups were added to the program. The general organi- zation of the program was the same as last year but most speakers were different. lWiss Neathery and NTL Stenzel headed the planning committee and were assisted by the S. C. A., faculty and students. Mr. Arthur E. Jakernan, Personnel Director of Norfolk Shipbuilding and Drydock Company was the opening speaker for the general meeting in the audi- torium. He gave a very inspiring address on Personal Qualities to Successf' Fifty-three speakers met with thirty different occupational groups. hiany out- standing people of this area discussed the knowledge of their own occupation with the students in the various groups. Many favorable comments concerning the school project were given and plans will be made to improve each year. The success of the second Career Day program was due to the fine speakers and the all-out cooperation of the whole school, administration, teachers and students. and More Fun 4531! ,Fifi Lights and gaity.
