In so doing we hope to express some part of the love, honor, and respect, we have for her. We thank her for her faith in us, her guidance, her lahors, and her love. Her presence here can never be overvalued. Her whole life is an inspiration and example, and association with her is a memory which we shall always cherish. ETS. YT - 1 5- 1 - . : .

Now we go to face the future unafraid: To your memory our devotion we're bequeathing As we venture toward the dream that we have made. Many happy hours with you we will remember As we graduate we'll promise to be true: Though you'll be new Cradock High next September We'll not forget you, nor neglect you. The fondest memories of you will never die, To us you'll always be the same old Cradock High. MRS.

We were scared and quivering at the sight of the mighty Seniors at Supreme Court. Now laughingly, we remember the boys wearing tee shirts with ties and the girls with pincurls and no makeup, We, the fun- loving L'Rats with our leaders, l.innie Ritter, President: Arthur Branch, Vice-President: George Combs, Secretary-Treasurer: and Nancy Meiggs, Annual Representative, reached for high ideals. Our two wonderful sponsors, Miss Geraldine Neathery tnow Mrs. James Madigan! and Mr. Ed Austin lnow in the U.S. Armyl encouraged us. The s'Rats,' with their sister class, the Sophomores, surprised everyone by giving the first Freshmen-Sophomore Prom in sev- eral years. All of us beamed with pride when Freshman, Shirley Fisher was crowned Miss Cradock High. The inspiring presentation of the Francis Bellamy Flag Award by Mar- garette S. Miller to our Alma Mater is still dear to our hearts. As Sophomores the class settled down to serious study, looking forward to the future. Under the capable leadership of Melvin Olsen, President: Arthur Branch, Vice- President: George Combs, Secretary: Nancy Meiggs, Treasurer: and Jeanette Swain, An- nual Representative, we grew in knowledge and popularity. Our faithful Miss Neatherv and a new-comer, Miss Bowman guided us as sponsors. l mvfhlf so L , The third year of our precious High School career was filled with many accomplislnnents. After months of planning and working. we presented the ,lunior-Senior Prom at the Suburban Country Club on May 1, in honor of the Seniors. lt was a huge success for which the deserving Juniors received much praise. The captain of our winning ,lunior team was Linnie Ritter: co-captain was Mcl- vin Olsenz Brucie Hodges recorded the min- utes and Dinker', Pope kept the financial records in order. Our fine sponsors, Mrs. Betty Jane Yarborough and Mr. Bill Sind- linger led us to victory in every project we undertook. Then suddenly we realized that time was growing short as we ordered our Senior class rings and chose the Admiral and 'fShipmate staffs for the coming year. Then at last our dreams were fulfilled, we entered the Halls of our beloved Cradock as Seniors-fewer in number, but stronger in spirit and knowledge. Wie were taller and older, but if you looked close you could see the resemblance to that fun-loving group of Rats in our faces. Now as dignified Seniors we were led by Dinker Pope, President: Raymond Carson, Vice-President: Linnie Rit- ter, Secretary and Brucie Hodges, Treasurer. W'e chose Miss Evelyn Byrd as our sponsor. Her kindness and never ceasing efforts to Help us will be long remembered after graduation. In our hearts that last year together is a precious, never to be recaptured memory. We remember so vividly the enthusiasm of showing our class rings to everyone, cheering the football team to victory, posing for grad- uation pictures and the last minute studying the night before exams. The Senior Play, Our Town was a booming success under the direction of Mr. Sindlinger. With spring came Baby Day, the- Junior-Senior Prom and the never-to-be-forgotten Senior Banquet and all too soon we knew we would be parting. At the Baccalaureate service and Commence- ment our hearts told us that we had reached our first goal in life. Our beloved Cradock High. we will ever strive to make thee proud of the Class of 1954. Now, with our diplomas in our hands, tears in our eyes and a feeling of happiness and sadness in our hearts we make our finale. Farewell!

Cradock was rated as one of the highest scoring teams in'the state, and although they were beaten, they were never held scoreless. The Admirals were victors over the New- port News Typhoons for the first time in Cradock football history. Especially outstanding was the hard hitting forward wall composed of: Bob Aydlette, Huey Burgess, Bob Hudson, C. L. Kessler, Ralph Hicks, 'sBunny Harmon, T. O. Wil- liams, and Delane Simpson. Showing up well in the backfield were: ace quarterback, W'alter Pope: fullback, Frank Mighty Mo W'ebster, Johnny Chap- man, Bob Clark, Bob Ryder, and Don Deaton. Bob Clark, fleeting halfback, won laurels for the Cradock team by coming in second in the state scoring race, while big bruising fullback, Frank Webster, also major yardage gainer, made both the Eastern District and All Tidewater Teams. Walter Pope, the Admiral quarterback, who was one of the leading passers in the state, threw 9 touchdown passes. Much credit should be given to the team's coaches for a splendid job done, coaching the Admirals during a successful season. Head coach is Larry Weldon and he was assisted by Henry Hambrecht and Rod Snelling, For outstanding sportsmanship, team spirit, and hard playing, Bob Aydlette and Frank Webster were elected co-captains of the Fighting Admirals of '53.

Cheerleaders The ,I.V. cheerleaders are seven in number and are chosen by the members of the faculty during the first part of the school year. They are not only chosen on their ability to cheer but their personality as well, The success of the ,l.V. cheerleaders is due to the complete cooperation of all the members of the squad and student body. There are certain rules and regulations that a J.V. girl must abide by, for when she is in uniform she knows that she represents her school and team and that she must conduct herself accordingly. A J.V. girl must work hard to stay on the squad and must respect the advice of the Varsity cheerleaders and the sponsors. You will find these girls at every football and basketball game, rain or shine, cheer- ing their team on to victory. .Y l f 'f '-. - Q. L.

Future Homemakers of America Our first meeting was devoted to the new members of the club and our new sponsors, to whom we explained the functions of the club. On the ninth of October we decorated a float for the Homecoming parade, sold candy apples on Hallowe'en, and set up a list of objectives, from which we were to choose one. The objectives were as follows: citizen- ship, cooperation, health, self-improvement, welfare, vocational understanding, safety, and recreation. The one that the club chose was citizenship Wi' nfl ave' .U 4 In November we planned to give a Christ- mas party, at which time we would bring old toys for the needy. We also planned to repair the toys before giving them away. In january the club decided to help the March of Dimes by having a cake raffle. The tickets for the raffle were sold for lflc a ticket. All the proceeds were donated to the March of Dimes. Mrs. Stuher- Mrs. Mathison son, Treasurer. -iam Sponsors OFFICEZRS, left to right: C. llahoon President: M. E. Evans, Vice Presl- dent: C.

Future Business Leaders of America These are the things that we believe: These are the things that we shall keep foremost: We believe that every young person should prepare himself for a useful occupation, and that he should carry on that occupation in a manner that will bring the greatest good to the greatest number. We believe that every young person should be actively interested in better social, polit- ical, community, and family life. We believe that every young person should take upon himself the responsibility of carry- ing out assigned tasks in a manner that will reflect credit to himself, his associates, his school, and his community. We believe in our own ability to work efficiently and to think clearly, and we pledge ourselves to use these abilities to make America a better place for everyone. UFFICERS, left to right: P.

The spiritual standards of our school are of definite interest to the Christian Youth of this club in that we realize our moral standards can be raised only after our spiritual needs are supplied. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, baskets of food were given to the needy families in the Cradock area by members of the Bible Club. An award was presented to the club for having the prettiest float in this year's Home- coming parade. On December 8, 1953 a fellowship social was held at the Fourth Street Baptist Church where we were hosts to the Bible clubs of Wilson and Chnrchland, and their sponsors.

We filled 'llllilllliSglVilIg and Christmas baskets for needy families. The Club entered a float in Homecoming which came in second place. The Library Club drew names for Christ- mas, and instead of receiving gifts, -we brought toys, which were given to Miss Weaver to contribute to needy family. v We sold refreshments at the Granby and Cradock Basketball game on January 13, 1954. Citizenship week was held during the month of March. Loving cups were presented to the number one citizen of each class at an assembly on March 19. Three months were spent in campaigning for the annual event. M rs. Marjorie Weaver Sponsor Ulfrnzrzn-4, lvl! lo right: li. Johnston L. Heed, Sf'fK1'llllf-Ill-JJFIIISQ C. Motley Secreluryg ll.

Science Club The Science Club's first project was a float in the Homecoming Parade: while the lloat didn't win it was highly praised for its originality. Another project the Science Cluh has undertaken is a long range project of start- ing a scrap hook. showing some of the things that the cluh has done. The club made plans to buy a set ol' films to be used by the science classes. The Science Club also plans to send three of its menlbeix with their projects to Mathews High School in Mathews, Virginia for a science contest. We hope to send some students to Virginia Junior Academy of Science of the Science Talent Search.

Freshmen - Sophomore Dramatics The purpose of the Freshman-Sophomorc Dramatics Club is to help promote and culti- vate dramatic interest in our school. Students from our club worked both on the stage and behind the scenes. With this team work we gave our annual Christmas assembly with the cooperation of the mixed chorus. The club sponsored a Hoat in the Home- coming Parade and we gave a cast party for the players in Stage Door. We sent a Care package to Korea at Christmas and worked on other welfare projects during the year. We also enjoyed social activities. This year a deserving member of the club will be awarded a prize and the Most Out- standing club member title. This award will be given to a hard working member, accord- ing to a point system set up by the club. I Mrs. Earlye Miller Sponsor Orrlcsns, left to right: A. We-rtz Secretary: N.

This club is alliliated with the Y.M.C.A. in Portsmouth. A Constitution was drawn up which stated that the club shall have a percentage of Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. There should be a religious exercise at the beginning of every meeting. We promoted good fellowship through our acknowledgment of each other and other clubs. The club had a basketball team represented in the Hi-Y league in the Y.M.C.A. The members in the club agreed to give ten per- cent of all earnings to the World Service Fund. 1-vi.

Sigma Tri- Hi- This year the Sigma Tri-Hi-Y of Cradoek High School was sponsored by Miss Nell Ramsey. The officers for the club were elected the previous year and took olliee in Sep- tember. The Club is a Christian organization, and the members work together during the year in every way possible to help the less for- tunate people or those who are sick and not able to help themselves. Projects of the clubs included decorating a float for Homecoming, making pom poms and selling them to the students of Cradock. collecting baskets of food at Christmas.. can- vassing different areas for food for the needy, and attending church together. A committee was appointed to read and make changes in the club constitution. Among our entertainments. we have had many splash parties at the Y.M.C.A. in Ports- mouth and organized a basketball team.

To many this was a month of drudgery, to others this was a moment of heaven for a school team had thus begun. To the boys it meant a showing of their summer practice, for football season had also begun. ln October we had the annual Homecom- ing Festivities with Lynn Brinn and Shirley Fisher being crowned King and Queen. November brought the annual Thanks- giving Day game with our mighty rivals, the Woodrow Wilson Presidents.', This game brought much gloom for the Admirals who suffered defeat. December was a month of many happen- ings. Basketball took up where football had left off. W'e had our annual three-act play, which this year was, Stage Door. The high- lights of this play were the presentation of the best Actor and Actress awards, These were presented to George Combs and Ann Stevens. The Christmas vacation brought the much anticipated dances and parties. In January we came back from our vaca- tion happy and rested only to face our mid- term exams. Our Townf, a play in three acts, was presented by the Senior Class during the first part of February. Joyce Penland and Donald Smith were chosen the best actress and actor. The 14-th of February also brought the Junior Dance with Glenda McRary and Roy Lee RE IEW W'illiams heing crowned as Mr. and Mrs. Junior. The Juniors played the Seniors- Guess who won? The F.B.L.A. Club tried something new this year. They held their first animal Tax Forum for the purpose of helping the people of the community. Thc beauties were on parade during the windy month of March. From the group of twenty girls Miss Cradock Hi and her two attendants were chosen. The one-act play was presented to the school. lt was then taken to Charlottesville for the state contest. The annual Freshman-Sophomore Prom was held in the Cradock gym. April showers accompanied our first 10-day Easter yaeation, The Dramatics Club held a banquet to present the best actor and actress award for thc school. May camel A hand concert was given by yours truly and a Musical Comedy was given by the chorus. At last May 28 came. This was the hig moment of the year for this was the night of the Junior-Senior Prom. June came, closing for many, the last year of their High School career. The Senior Banquet was a huge success. Then came Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. This time was both happy and sad. The lower classmen had thc new Cradock Hi to which to return. The graduating Seniors had only the thoughts of the future and memories of the past, f' .37 Deed of Z F fi, , -nle x?,. i , M- -gui, ravlifc XS' -W ..-- ,A be-r .PN --- ri-,,.-' f .t v!! ,J-'X-,x.-j' .- V I' ,, ,--' IL!-2 , ll, -3' ,f' They might fool you but they're not fooling us. .- -,-Fr, .4 , ,fy c'b- .rf 1 Xfyrf. -,:f7'f,-fi' 'K vv- -- ' NIT ' if xv f X f' W I - -' 4' L Y..-., I 1 ,, b x'-,-r .f - 4 .AM , Q A ivy' I - 5 -,xv-T - L,,,z'-'LA Q W 9 I' tv ..?'-' ,N ., I ' ' i i .--A54 A-WJ.

Junior-Senior Prom 'MN ' The 1954 Junior-Senior Dance took place in the Suburban Country Club. Upon passing through 'the reeeiving line, the evening swung into a gala affair set to the pace- of ,lack U'Neill's fine band. The theme of hearts added eolor and a earefree feeling for all. Evi- dently this thought proved true. for during the evening several engagement, announcements were made, and be- fore long diamonds were really sparkling on the third fingers of very 4-xvitwl girls. As usual, when the band played Good Night Sweetheart. a wistful sigh could be heard from all the departing Seniors. Yes, May 28, will long be remem- bered as one of the brightest spots in our high school days.
