The proms, the games, the clubs, the plays, the assemblies, the school projects — all united us into a single student body, proud of our school. As the years pass, our minds shall retain only vague images of the people and circumstances which have influenced us through this year. In an attempt to preserve a vivid record of all that occured, we of the 1965 ADMIRAL staff present to you our Scrapbook of Memories to serve as a visual ac- count of all that we love and cherish about our school, Cradock High.

Adapted from To The Memories of Northwestern University. I REGINALD BYRD our friend and advisor Active as assistant principal and as our coach of golf, he has remained, above all, the friend, guide, and counselor of the many hundreds of students who have come in contact with him ... in their work, activities, and their all important character development. After graduating from East Carolina with a B.S. in Physical Education and Science, Mr. Byrd served two years in the Army. He then embarked on his teaching career. He taught at Alexander Park Jr. High, then Cradock Jr. High, and finally, Cradock High School. In 1960 he received his M.A in Education and took his present position as assistant principal. In all his activities he has shown an understanding of youth and has provided a stimulas for youth to do its best in all its various endeavors. He accomplishes these things with concern, sincer- ity, kindness, and modesty. For such an influence we are grateful. For such a guide we count ourselves fortunate. Of such a man we are proud 6 for Jfis JJaried Services PRINCIPAL A frequent scene at Cradock is that of Mr. Byrd enter- ing the Principal ' s office. Being Mr. Booker ' s right hand man calls for numerous conferences on school policy. As Assistant Principal and disciplinarian, Mr. Byrd is often seen checking his own traffic committee and handling any violators of the traffic system. Mr. Byrd takes a practice swing to keep himself in shape. He is responsible, not only for his own game, but for Cradock ' s record since he is both a conscientious Sun- day golfer and an enthusiastic school coach. e 71 cfmi nisi ration ncufl , y 8 ncouraqe Conscientiousness and cooperation on the part of the administration and faculty have character- ized this school year. Whether involving the school board, the principal., the counselor, or the teacher, the student has been assured a fair judgement and a direct, honest approach. Our Scrapbook of Memories shall serve as a reminder of those who have dedicated their time and genuine concern toward the success of our educational efforts. We shall remember them appreciatively!

The real work began, however, in the fall and continued throughout the year. Each de- tail was carefully worked out and its progress noted by those responsible for its completion. Step by step the ADMIRAL was built and with its christening in May, 1965, was to be found the fruition of the dreams of those by whom it was designed. Within its hull is to be found a pictorial account of the activities of your school which will grow in beauty and become more cherished by you from year to year.

The class- rooms and teachers, by stimulating our intel- lectual growth, have molded us for the future. We shall remember them gratefully! A uicfeposi Jor A Mrs. Rose Pollard Guidance Director The GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT existing for no other purpose than to serve, to counsel, and to guide students, tries to give each stu- dent accurate information about himself so that he may be equipped to make wise choices concerning his future. The Guidance Department endeavors to provide the following services: 1. counseling, individual and group 2. maintaining data on all students 3. providing information service to students, parents, teachers, and other authorized persons 4. providing a placement service through the work programs 5. engaging a follow-up program Priscilla runs errands for counselors. 22 Mrs. Weaver, Mrs. Liddle Librarians Mrs. Edmonds Guidance Department Secretary Miss Weaver Attendance Office 23 Since four years of English ore required of all students, it is quite normal that the English Department should be the largest in the school. Sixteen classroom teachers and one librarian comprise the staff that directs the learning experiences of fifteen hundered students in English, Latin, Spanish, and French, along with such related instruction as speech, dramatics, and journalism. The broad objective of the English department is one of effective communication. To facilitate achievement of the goal for every student possible, in addition to regular classroom activities, other activities are provided on a discoi in ere catior stude is a goal rovide the epartment Accomplish sufficient to challenge est possible progi rag|l sfTf Ssata render his spe Who ' s going to be the baby bear?

With the increased stress on physical -fitness, the Physical Education Department has strived to keep up with the modern program. The fitness of the body has been proved to have a direct influ- ence on the functioning of the mind. Here at Cradock, we are proud of the well-rounded pro- gram offered by this department. Mr. Jack Veazie Driver Education Instructor Practice makes perfect! 25 Mr. Wulzer confuses students Have you ever tried to draw a circle with one hand? The Mathematics Department utilizes the most modern methods of teaching. To keep abreast of the times this department has modernized its program by introducing a series of Modern Math text books which introduce new concepts. It emphasizes learning by reasoning and understanding rather than by memo- rization.

While taking science courses offered at Cradock, a student develops the ability to apply scientific methods of thinking to the solution of problems. We hope to help the student determine whether or not science holds an interest for him and, if so, where that interest lies. Tim examines product of an experiment.

Randi Bryant Speaks During Mock Elections We believe that Social Studies classes are most logical areas in which to emphasize the meaning and the application of the principles of our American way of life We hope to provide a background which will develop an inquiring attitude, critical thinking and conclusions drawn after careful examination of the facts We hope to inspire pride in and loyalty to our country We believe that a knowledge of past cultures, the framework of present governments and an appreciation of our American heritage are necessary to the individual if he is to evaluate the world, his country, V and himself, today and attain a full, active, alert, y and meaningful life as a citizen in this democratic y a republic which our communities, states and nation represent 28 . . Cftncf Joreicjn jSanc uaye The Foreign Language Department strives to broaden the horizons of pupils by acquaint- ing them with a culture other than their own through study of the language, history and literature of the foreign country. The . modern languages are presented by the audio-lingual method. There is a com- plete course for three years and the fourth is in preparation. At this time, fourth year students meet with third year classes and are given outside reading from the great writers of France and Spain in addition to the regular class work. The primary objective of this department is to enable the pupil to communicate in and to understand the language in the current idiom.

The skills of cooking, sewing, and etiquette are presented in Home Economics classes in a manner that will be use- ful regardless of any future occupation. In Industrial Arts boys learn to repair and build many household objects. These courses add to the well-rounded curriculum of Cradock students. Mr. Spruill oversees the production line. 30 The Business Department offers general consumer-education courses for all students as well as vocational skill courses for those students preparing for secretarial and clerical positions. General courses include the following: Gen- eral Business, Typing I, Record Keeping, Eco- nomics, and Business Law.

Awed by the seeming complexities of the building and dwarfed by the upperclassmen who seldom bothered to notice us, we could not have known that in coming to high school we were entering a new world of studies and activities, a world which we would soon have the opportunity to shape just as the classes preceding us had created the world we observed those first days in September. Our chance to make our impression upon Cradock did not come quickly, but before November, guided by our class sponsor Mrs. Pollard, we elected our class officers: Ralph Gaebhart, Nita Fortune, Ronnie Conway, and Patsy Simmons. The first eighth grade to be rep- resented on the high school Student Council, we elected Betty Forbes, Billy Jones, Kathy Hayden, and Elizabeth Wright. In sports, although we were only the “Baby Admirals, we were proud of our football and basketball teams and of our cheering squad. The next year we entered Cradock more confident of our familiarity with the school organization. Our young confidence was slightly shaken by the taunts of seniors; however, nothing deterred us from assuming a greater role in school activities. Freshmen flooded the clubs, the sports teams, the chorus, the debate team, and the band. Wherever opportunities for participation existed we eagerly accepted them, and school began to notice our class. Nita Fortune, Erlene Fuller, Sandra Nettles, and Carolyn Salas became majorettes. Harold Kretzer made All-State Chorus, and Lindsey Alston, Randi Bryant, Micky Hirst, and Nat Malcolm made their debuts into high school dramatics in two pro- ductions, “Pure as the Driven Snow and No Deadly Medicine. We were pleased when Lindsey Alston and Randi Bryant became the first freshmen ever to receive their Literary Letters. In sports several of our class members, Ralph Gaebhart, Johnny Griffin, Jack Templeton, Dennis Stickland, and Billy Jones, were already on the varsity football team, and freshman girls outnumbered the sophomores on the cheering squad. CLASS HISTORIAN Elizabeth Wright Miss Brown. Representing our class on the Student Council were Lindsey Alston, Betty Forbes, Kathy Hayden, and Billy Jones; and representing us in a com- pletely different group, the Homecoming Court, was Darlene Johnson. Freshman prom chairman, Barbara Cummings, and her committee members helped to make our first prom recreating Camelot a memorable oc- casion. In the spring, we chose Chris Comstock, Pat Goffredo, Kathy Hayden, and Micky Hirst to represent our class in the Miss Cradock contest. As sophomores we looked back upon our previous years as mere preparation for the achievements to come. We were ready to learn and apply methods of in- fluencing the world of our school and of making our presence known. Beginning in our own class, under the leadership of President Lindsey Alston, we wrote a class constitution, an unprecedented action, and we organized a Class Congress which included a representative from each homeroom and the class officers, Lindsey, Toni Sylvester, Patsy Simmons, and Mickey Hirst, as well as sponsors, Miss Bryant and Mr. Ross. Sophomores, under the leadership of Mickey Hirst and Darlene Johnson, took the lead in preparing for Some Enchanted Evening, our prom. In the Miss Cradock Contest our representatives were Betty Foltz, Billie Clevenger, Chris Comstock, and Mickey Hirst, who was also our repre- sentative in the Homecoming Court. We elected Jackie Taylor, President; Patsy Simmons, Vice-President; Micky Hirst, Secretary; and Ronnie Conway, Treasurer, Our sponsors were Mr. Hyde and Our sophomore year was one of outstanding achieve- ments by individuals in our class in many activities. Diane Stone served as S.C.A. Treasurer, Dottie Berck and numerous other sophomores held roles in Cradock ' s first musical, Doug Gilmore was a leading basketball scorer, ond six sophomores made All-State Chorus. In the spring David Estes received a trophy as Most Valuable Golf Player, and Elizabeth Wright represented Cradock at the Conference of the National Association of Student Councils. In the fall of 1963 we were prepared for the many positions of leadership and responsibility that would be ours in the next two years. Class President Billy Jones, assisted by Ronnie Conway, Ann Payne, and Patsy Simmons, worked hard to keep our class activities going The height of these activities was, of course, the Junior-Senior Prom, our gift to the graduating class. Working diligently, chairmen Mickey Hirst and Darlene Johnson, and their committee transformed the gym into the setting for a magical Midnight in Rome As |uniors we were eligible for the National Honor Society; none of us will ever forget the excitement of the morning of the induction or the wide grins of the thirty-odd new |unior members of the Society. Our class also provided two S.C.A officers, Nat Malcolm, Vice- President; and Elizabeth Wright, Secretary. Gordon Wheatly, Chris Comstock, Mickey Hirst, and Pam God- win were |unior representatives. In the S.C.A , as else- where that year, our large, strong class often vied with the seniors for many privileges and honors In clubs juniors predominated as club presidents, and the FT. A. shared honors with our class when Randi Bryant was elected State FT. A. Vice-President and, the next year, President. On the district FT. A. level Tim Casteen and Dale Brinson won offices. In Diversified Occupations Larry Burchett was elected State President, and also on the state-wide level, Elizabeth Wright was elected State Secretary of the S.C.A. The Cradock band was led by two members of the class of ' 65, Nat Malcolm, drum major, and Nita Fortune, head maiorette. In dramatics our class shall never forget Roger Styron and Buddy Lucas, who both played Conrad Birdie in two performances of Bye, Bye, Birdie, our second musical. Other singing, dancing, and acting members of the class of ' 65 to hold major or supporting roles in the musical were Harold Kretzer, Betty Foltz, Barbara Bastinelli, Dottie Berck, Sandra Nettles, and Nat Malcolm How proud we were in the spring of 1964 when the state forensics competitions were completed and we learned the Randi Bryant had been awarded First Place in Girls Public Speaking. Our class already had a fine record of performance in many contests, par- ticularly in the district forensics competition, but Randi ' s award was our first state-wide record in forensics. Within our school that yeor, we were also proud of Johnny Griffin, who was named Most Valuable Track Man, and of David Estes, again Most Valuable Golf Player In May our rings came and our delight, mirrored in their sparkling surfaces, was not even dimmed by sarcasm from the seniors. By June we were more than eager for the class of 1964 to graduate, for possession of our rings reminded us that our turn for school leadership had come. We would soon be the seniors! With September came the beginning of the end for the class of 1965. Over the years we had earned our place at the top of school society, not merely by our chronological position, but by the numerous contribu- tions we had made to Cradock collectively and individ- ually. Getting a good start under class President Nat Malcolm, we elected Mrs. Adamson and Mr. Graham class sponsors, ond we chose to dedicate our annual to Mr. Byrd, Assistant Principal Homecoming approached, and, directed by George Perrot, Homecoming chairman, members of our class worked to make Homecoming an unforgettable event. Our class was particularly happy to score a first with our Senior Class float. The right to build o float was one of the several senior privileges we had re- quested and received. In a way Homecoming was sad for us; because, as we watched the football players and the cheerleaders from our class and the floats that represented, to a great extent, our efforts, we realized that this was indeed our last Homecoming. The traditions, the efforts, the joys, and ’the satis- factions would pass from our hands into others in the succeeding years. It was the same in everything; as- semblies, the Christmas programs, the dances, the sports events. As each event came and passed, we remembered it was our last. Yet despite the underlying finality of all our senior activities, school life continued as always. Our class supplied three of the S.C.A. officers: Billy Jones, President; Pam Godwin, Secretary; and Dale Brinson, Treasurer. To the great delight of our entire school, Kathy McCormack was named a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Competition. The casts and staffs of the year ' s dramatic productions, Antigone and The Music Man, were filled by seniors. Fall and winter passed quickly and veteran Cradock players like football tri-captains Ralph Geabhart, Buddy Pleasants, and Dennis Strickland, and basketball co- captams Dennis Novack and Doug Gilmore played their last games and retired forever from high school com- petitions. The second semester passed quickly, and, as we prepared for the Prom, Banquet, and Senior Play in May, and for the final activities, baccalaureate and graduation, we looked backward to our five years to- gether, regretting their quick passage, yet pleased with the scrapbook of memories that we had filled with the many activities we had shared. We were proud of what we, through our own efforts, had made Cradock become and were hopeful that the future classes would save the best of our high school environment — the world we had created and now passed — to them We were certain that in the years to come our experiences in high school would provide a firm basis for our progress and our contributions to the larger worlds we soon would enter.

We think of all the trips we took and of all the fun we had. We think of the initiations and things that made us mad. We think of proms and plays and of teachers that made us tame And we won ' t soon forget going to a Cradock football game. We think of how the Victory Bell rang; No, we won ' t soon forget We think of all the laurels that our class has gathered here, And how, on many a gloomy day, we transformed sadness to cheer. All these thoughts can be recalled and then fade into the sky, But we will never forget our own, our unconquered Cradock High 1 CLASS POET Harold Krefzer 87 We, 7£e Senior C ass , I, BOB GOMER, do hereby leave to next year ' s college-bound seniors one-half bottle of tranquilizers in hopes that it will do a better job of stopping the nervous breakdowns they will have while waiting for acceptance notices from college.

Signed, sealed, and delivered on this twenty- sixth day of February in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-five. Lindsey Alston Cl ass Lawyer 89 yfomerooin Ueachers Mrs. Adamson — In the largest class to graduate from Cradock High School, by the law of averages, there are more potential leaders — perhaps even a President, who knows! Added to that, the higher percentage of honor students, the greater number of students winning honors and participating in activities on regional and state levels would indicate a bright future for the Class of 1965 Best wishes ' Mrs. Bruce — I think the Class of ‘65 has a fine array of brains, beauty, and ability We will certainly be hearing about some of you. Mr. Graham — The Senior Class of 1965 will enter college with collective potentials unequaled by classes of the immediate past. The prognosis for academic success is a good one. The vast array of talents and abil- ities demonstrated in high school work certainly provides them with the tools necessary for success in their future learning pursuits. For a class or individuals with such abilities, there are dangers, too Many of the members of this class have been successful at Cradock with no strain on their abilities. To be thrust into a more competitive college situation will offer greater challenges and may result in temporary frustrations. I am, however, confident that this class can and will meet those challenges and make the transition successfully. Mrs. Hampton — As I gaze into my crystal ball, I see a few students who, by choice it seems, will be with us next year. The other students display very few bruises com- pared to the number of ' blows ' of reality they have faced and overcome Mrs. Morgan — Due to the wide diversity of abilities of the students in the senior class, I predict the present senior class will have a greater number entering the professions than any previous Cradock graduating class 90 7 )iew Oar GO ass Mr. Prillaman David Fitzwater, Roger Styron, Harry Amory, and Doug Creech will be members of the Raid Your Neighborhood City Club. Gordon Wheatly will be a pest control expert specializing in fish removal. Ronnie Carrigan will write the best seller, ' How to Run Out on Your Friends and Not Get Caught ' Mr. Westler — I predict that the present senior class will prove to be one of the finest senior classes in the history of Cradock High School. Mr. Wulzer — I predict the Class of ' 65 will produce some of the outstanding citizens of tomorrow Miss Lumsden and Miss Mullins — We predict that at the class reunion of 1975, 10% of the senior class will arrive in their space ships; 60% will bring along their 5 children; 2% will come from jail (on parole); 2% from the unemployment lines; 2% from engage- ments in Hollywood and Paris; .01 % from the Metro- politan Opera; 10% who took part in a toothpaste test; and 14% secretaries to executives. 91 Class President: Andy Stampley Under the leadership of Andy Stam- pley, class president, and the other of- ficers, this year ' s Junior class has real- ly been one of adventure and fine spirit. There were many activities to make it one of our most memorable years at Cradock. The most important events were the Junior-Senior Prom, which proved our class to be hard-working and co-operative; and, of course, the day we received our long awaited Sen- ior Class rings. As all of the memories of this year fall into the past, the class of ' 66 face its Senior year with eagerness and en- thusiasm.

Richmond the capital of Tennessee? We shall always remember our Soph- omore year as being a happy one. Led by Gary Phillips, class president, and Miss Liddle and Mr. Carroll, class spon- sors, we experienced a most exciting year. Our success was largely due to our willingness to work together in a happy blaze of renewed friendships, football games, and new back to school activi- ties. Soon we were caught up in the Homecoming festivities — the float, the dance, the parade The thrill of the year, however, was our Freshman-Sophomore Prom. As al- ways, the Sophomores gave their full support to insure the Prom ' s success. We are well satisfied with our Sopho- more year and the memories it leaves us. We are now looking forward to our last two years at Cradock and hope that they will be as wonderful as this one was.

Cradock Admirals Plagued by ' injuries and bad luck, the Ad- mirals compiled a disappointing statistical record, but one which vouched for its effort and spirit. Only 19 points robbed Cradock of a victorious season. After winning four of their first five games, Cradock experienced a series of defeats which dimmed all chances for securing the district championship. With injuries hitting Geabhart, Griffin, and Pleasants, the team played under a great handicap. But, winning or losing, the Admirals always strived to pick up that extra yard or stop the drive of the opposing team. All the Admirals sacrificed time and effort to insure Cradock of the honor it deserved. For this spirit alone, we should be proud. A team that gives its all in every game is a team of which we can all be proud. The Fighting Ad- mirals of ' 6 4 was such a team.

Mr. Weldon, a long-time athlete, is a form- er Washington Redskin quarterback and one of Presbyterian College ' s all-time great backs. Besides his football accomplishments, he com- piled an impressive record in the minor lea- gues. Out goes our royal salute to a most deserv- ing man.

This year ' s indoor track team consisted mainly of underclassmen. Even though the members of this team were inexperienced, they con- tributed a great deal of enthusiasm and hard work to the success of their first season. Per- haps the drive which caused this team to win half of its meets will bring many more suc- cessful seasons to the men of indoor track.

Social, Service, and Scholastic clubs encourage every student to in- volve himself in an organization which can serve him and which he can serve effectively. Our Scrapbook of Memories has recorded the officers, members, and projects of the numer- ous clubs to which we have dedicated so many hours of fun and work, but mostly, comradship.

The Student Council began this year in fine style with its annual back-to-school projects — the Teacher ' s Tea, 8th grade orientation, the Back-to-School Dance, and the opening assembly. The Council planned nu- merous activities to carry out its objectives and the state theme of Goals Guide Growth. It gave serv- ice through various drives and projects and leader- ship training through the mock election and other ac- tivities. By carrying out its objectives, the Council ' s hope was to serve and benefit the school. Its objectives were: 1. To guide the students to become active, in- formed citizens. Secretary Pam Godwin 2. To maintain sound relations between the Council and the student body. 3. To project a good image of Cradock by em- phasizing positive, constructive behavior. 4. To develop a love for the school and an in- terest in the community. 5. To create an awareness of one ' s responsibili- ties — social, moral, and personal. Many well-planned activities helped to make this year a successful one. 167 Treasurer Dale Brinson DCJfS. demands Sc 20 arsJiip -(- 1st Row, L. to R.: Mike Nash, Phil Doughtie, Don Ander- son, Herb Bing, Hugh Brady, Jimmy Layden, Jimmy Brett, Nat Malcolm. 2nd Row, L. to R.: Sandra Mitchell, Lynn Waters, Elizabeth Wright, JoAnne Kellam, Holly Jacocks, Patsy Simmons, Glenda Miles, Donna Bene, Juanita Hute, Diane Stone, Marie Whitehurst. 3rd Row, L. to R.: Patsy Edwards, Dale Brinson, Randi Bryant, Dottie Berck, Sandra Styron, Jean Cooper, Pam Honaker, Priscilla Wyatt, Darlene Johnson, Marie Foltz, Janet McNeely. 4th Row, L. to R.: Pam Godwin, Toni Sylves- ter, Francine Harmon, Elaine Wilson, Linda Meads, Penny Hedge, Faye Hughes, Deloris Maynard, Phyllis Pearce, Marty Coleman, Elaine Woods. 5th Row, L. to R.: Mrs. Bruce, Jimmy Spinel I i, David Kyle, Rod Wade, Bill Clark, Collins Gooch, Mike Walls, Dennis Novack, Ralph Geabhart, Ricky West, Tommy Blalock, Charles Orrock.

All the girls got reserva- tions from their parents and boy friends to get their cars and jalopies washed. It was a cold day for such an activity, but, all in all, it was a big success. Homecoming, which honored the class of 1954, was another event in which Sigma participated. Making flowers and decorat- ing the float, the members worked hard and enjoyed the festivities. These are just a few of the activities of Sigma in the year 1964-65 and it is hoped that future years will be just as successful.

This club is guided by Mrs. JoAnne Vance, to whom we owe a great debt for her sponsorship dur- ing the year. The main objectives of Delta are to serve the home, school and communi- ty. These objectives have been carried out through many beneficial activities during the year. This club served the school by entering a float in Home- coming, promoting better response to P. T. A., and by giving a scholarship to a member at the end of the year. Delta served the community by con- tributing to the United Fund the pro- ceeds from a Halloween Dance and by collecting clothes for the needy. Standing: Mrs. Vance, sponsor , On steps L.R.

The Bible Club participated in Homecoming activities and was a hard working club while it promoted all S.C.A. and Inter-Club Council projects. The Club also gave devotions over the pub- lic address system and tried to promote a bet- ter Christian atmosphere and fellowship in Cradock High School.

Fourth Row: Dreama The Cradock High School Band has had its best year since Mr. David Steelman began building it back up in 1961. With over 100 marching pieces, it received acclaim for both its parades and half- time shows from the most critical audience of all, the students. The band entered the Spring Music Festival playing the most difficult music and topped off the year with its annual Spring Concert. The band members have learned to work to- gether, to discipline themselves, and to accept f nlertammeni Touring 7 fie year triumph and defeat, success and disappointment and still keep striving for better music. Perhaps even more important, there has been an exchange of knowledge and friendship which will be carried by each member of the band long into his adult years.

To raise the standards of home life. To secure adequate laws for the care and pro- tection of youth. To bring into proper relation the home and school that parents and teachers may co-operate intelligently. To develop between education and the general public united efforts that will secure for every child the highest advantages in physical, mental, social and spiritual education. The P.T.A. ' s aim must be to instill in all the realization that to obtain a good education is a necessity. The completion of high school is the minimum educational requirement for life ' s needs.

The LOG, Cradock ' s literary magazine, is com- piled and published once each semester from ori- ginal short stories, poems, essays, and sketches submitted by Cradock students. By offering its contributors the rewarding experience of seeing their own work published, the LOG assists the English department in encouraging creative, lit- erary effort within the student body. Staff members work long hours at a variety of lobs to prepare the LOG for publication; they not only select all material for use in the magazine but also illustrate, type, lay-out, collate, and dis- tribute the finished copies to subscribers. This year the LOG staff owes a debt of gratitude both to co-sponsors, Mrs. Doris Boswell and Mr. Wal- ter Graham, for their guidance and encourage- ment, and to the many talented students whose literary contributions have comprised each issue of the magazine.

Tis- sue flowers and crepe paper blew around the back parking lots as the floats neared completion. Students ran around frantical- ly trying to hold their floats together, at least, until the judges had seen them. As the parade wound down Afton Park- way, people were crowded on either side of the street to make their own choices as to which float was best. The judges chose the D. 0. float as the prettiest, the Y. M. A. float as the most original, and the Art Club float as the one best welcoming the class of 1954. Later that night at the football game, the day ' s events were climaxed by the crowning of Micky Hirst as The Home- coming Queen of 1964. The students breathed a tired sigh of relief as the final whistle blew ending the 1964 Home- coming. Evelyn Whitlock waves an enuthsiastic greeting from a tissue igloo on the Sigma float. The members of Y. M. A. put the final touches on their float. In spite of Joe Spears ' hairy legs, it was a prize-winning float. The queen and her court extended a beautiful welcome Matthews, 8th grade representative; Paula Smith, sopho- to the alumni.

Antigone explains to Creon that it is inhuman to leave the dead unburied. (Jree ? Drama Jean Anouilh ' s Antigone was presented at Cradock on December 11, 1964, to a packed house. For one hour and thirty minutes the audience was held spell- bound as the actors portrayed the ancient story of sentiment versus logic. A tragedy of this sort has never been presented here. It will be a long time before another play at Cradock has the quality and impact of Antigone.

Phyllis Pearce A truly memorable dramatic experience in the year 1964. 213 Trends were prominent in hair-dos this year. Like Francine Harmon, many of Cradock ' s girls were seen wearing per- fectly matched artificial hair pieces. The more casual styles are typified by Jewell Harris and Sherry Heckle. Some girls ' hair was worn long and flipped up, others, short and turned under. Round collared blouses in pastel colors were extremely popular among the female students, as were gayly patterned jumpers and sweater-vests This year girls ' legs had rather new appearances. Some various patterns in as many colors. These textured hose legs were plain, others seemed to be sporting lace and were extremely well-liked as were over-the-knee kneesocks. Shuffling down the halls on feminine feet were the ever- present ' ' Scotch grains and something new, the sophisti- cated stacked heel. Also coming in with the new year were burlap and leather cut-away shoes known as fruit shoes. The latter resulted in many a cold foot for the sake of fashion. dads Cpptjy JlCore dasdton Conscious Ctucfents Men ' s fashions also took on a new look in ' 65. Stan DeHart is wearing the typical button- down collar shirt which came in as many as there are colors. Sweaters ranged from soft wool V-necks to bulky mohair cardigans. Slacks lost their sprayed-on look and became much less tapered and more collegiate. Stan is a per- fect example of a casually-dressed young man. Following the pace set by the popular sing- ing group, the Beatles, the Beatle hair cut became the thing. Varieties ranged from Roger Styron ' s more conservative cut to some that came below the ears. Also well-liked for more formal occasion was the club tie. Suits displayed the slimmer, more debonair look. Shoes came in models from Roger ' s respected Cordovan to the far-fetched Desert Boots. 215 GJiristmas J j arty brings Go y Go GGifcfren The SCA ' s annual Christmas party for the underprivileged children of the community was an even greater success than usual. Such joy is rarely seen as when a small boy opened a gift and whispered unbelievingly, Gosh, my very own books. Paula Smith helps Santa unload his sleighful of toys to the eager children. Happiness is a gift. Delegates to Boys ' State were Lindsey Alston, Nat Malcolm, and Billy Jones. Outstanding Seniors Jit tend SB, ogs an d dirts ; States Pam Godwin and Mickey Hirst represented Cradock at Girls ' State. Virginia ' s Boys ' and Girls ' States are essentially crash programs for the study of Virginia state government. For seven days during the summer, students from all over the state attend lectures, watch demonstrations, and see movies all dealing with government in Virginia. The Virginia Ameri- can Legion sponsors both States. They present a summarized analysis of Virginia ' s three govern- mental branches. The framework is similar to that of Virginia state. It is composed of twelve independent and competitive cities, each named after a famous American statesman and each with a population of about fifty. Each stater is a member of one of the two political parties, Federalist or Nationalist Each city elects its own officials who run for office on the ticket of their party. City offices range from Mayor to Commissioner of Sanitation. The American Legion rounds out the seven day pro- gram with speeches by prominent statesman, busi- nessmen, and clergymen All of these activities are designed to achieve the unique purpose of both States, making a better person of each one who attends. American citizenship is my most priceless pos- session was the thought foremost in each Stater ' s mind and is one everyone should remember. 217 Elizabeth Wright displays her domestic talents which won her the Betty Crocker Search for the Homemaker of Tomorrow Contest Kathy McCormack looks through yearbooks, trying to decide which college to attend next year.

This year over 400 students came to Cradock for this musical work- shop, which was directed by Mr. Paul Salamunovich from Holly- wood, California: This year, Cradock sponsored dances in the cafe- teria following athletic events. Here exhibitionist students did the “Swim, Jerk, and T-Bird. In this typical scene it ' s impossible to tell who ' s dancing with whom, but it ' s easy to see that the dances provided a good time for everyone. Dean and the Mustangs were only one of the many bands, composed of local high school talent, who provided the blaring music for the Friday night dances. The National Honor Society presented an impressive assembly to induct new members. The Rev. Carl Coslet spoke on the qualities of a successful and happy adulthood. i J Jean Cooper was mildly surprised when Marie Whitehurst tapped her into the Society, ean was among twenty-seven new members inducted in a beautiful candlelight ceremony. 220 Cradock was extremely fortunate in hearing Lt. Gov. Mills Godwin speak at our football awards assembly. Ralph Geabhart presented Mr. Booker with a football inscribed with the score of the Cradock- Wilson game, 6-6. Mr. Weldon welcomes Sen. William Spong to the assembly. JlCore iAssem6 ies Cn iuen Jhe y ear The frenzy of campaigns and the presidential election hit Cradock during the week of Oct. 26-30. The lunchroom was plastered with elec- tion posters and shouts of In your heart you know he is right and L.B.J. for the U.S.A. hung in the air. On Wednesday the student body assembled in the gymnasium for a rousing assembly. Both parties were given equal opportunity to pre- sent their party platforms. Later all students who had registered, voted at their respective precincts. The returns showed Johnson the victor with 709 votes out of 1242. A tableau was staged by chorus members as a beautiful finale to their Christmas assembly. The Chorus presented their annual assembly and sang many familiar Christmas carols. 222 SRetiriny Superintendent ttfonore On March 3, 1965, Cradock High School honored the retiring Superin- tendent of Portsmouth Public Schools, Mr. Alf J. Mapp, by presenting him with a large oil painting of himself. The entire student body took part in this tribute to a fine man. The class presidents formed a receiving line for Mr. Mapp and visiting dignitaries. Some dogs were more faithful in their attendance this year than the students. Lt.

The affair was presented in the auditorium which was beautifully deco- rated to carry out the theme of the Goddess of Beauty . Amidst a flurry of satin and silk, twenty of the most beautiful girls in the school, selected by their classmates, com- peted for the coveted title. Virginia Mathi- son, a senior, was selected to reign as Miss Cradock of 1965. Betty Foltz, another senior, was first runner-up and Margaret Black, an eighth-grader, was second runner-up. Caro- lyn Salas was chosen by the contestants them- selves to be Miss Congeniality. Chosen by the judges on the basis of beauty, charm, and poise, Virginia will certainly represent Crad- ock well as our Goddess of Beauty. BETTY FOLTZ First Runner-Up VIRGINIA MATHISON Miss Cradock of 1965 CAROLYN SALAS Miss Congeniality MARGARET BLACK Second Runner-Up 5 Nat Malcolm as Professor Harold Hill leads the finale. U GracfocJ? JoJe comes JKusic Jltan Stupendous! Marvelous! Fantastic! These were some of the remarks over- heard on May 21 and 22. The occasion was the Fine Arts Department ' s produc- tion of Music Man. Thought to be an impossible task, Music Man overcame many set-backs and obstacles to become a smashing success. The story concerns a professional con- man, Harold Hill (played by Nat Mal- colm), and his attempts to sell a boys ' band to the folks of River City, but Marion Poroo (Sandra Nettles), has a few objections to his plans. After many en- joyable songs, dances, and general hulla- baloo the objections were dissolved. Marion comes to Professor Harold Hill ' s defense when the townspeople start to turn against him. One of the highlights of this production was the Grecian Urn dance by several upstanding matrons. Others in the cast were: Howard Whit- aker, Harold Kretzer, Johnnie Atkinson, Randi Bryant, Susan Bailey, Curtis Bryant, John Spiaggi, Barbara Bastinelli, Paula Owens, and many others. Cradock ' s production of Music Man Buddy Lucas, Jeep Whitaker, Betty Foltz, Harold Kretzer, and Ruth Lilegren take advan tage of refreshments offered after the choral concert. The girls in the chorus prepare to go on stage. Richard Wellons on the Tympani adds drama to the band concert. lA ■ Goncer s Glncf GlssemSfies Gn fiver GJfie year Spring concerts presented by the band and chorus offer- ed a wide variety of entertain- ment in the form of musical selections. Whether a stirring Spanish march or a popular song from a hit Broadway musical, talent was evident. The annual change of com- mand within the S.C.A. took place in an assembly this year. The out-going officers looked a little sad, but they breathed a small sigh of relief as the eager new officers took over. It will be quite a challenge to top this year ' s record. Billy Jones turn command of the ship over to Sam Jesselson. Incoming officers are Francine Harmon, treasurer; Chris Grigas, Secretary; Paula Smith, Vice- President. The S.C.A. is being left in very capable hands It has become traditional that, each year, each depart- ment in the school chooses the outstanding student in that field. Four students are selected to run and the winner is announced at the annual Literary Awards Assembly. This year Jimmy Layden distinguished himself by becoming the first student in the school ' s history to win the award in three different fields. The winners are: (front) Evelyn Hamil, girls ' physical edu- cation; Marsha Jones, business; Barbara Bastinelli, chorus; Kay Orland, D.E.; Elizabeth Wright, social studies and English; (back) Jimmy Layden, industrial arts, science, and math; Joe Myers, boys ' physical education; Billy Leary, art; Larry Burchett, I.C.T.; Nat Malcolm, band. tB iter ary Baurefs The original purpose of the Literary Awards Assembly was to recognize students who had won literary letters and stars. These monograms, similar to those awarded in athletics, are earned by activity in literary events such as forensics, dra- matics, and publications, with points awarded for participa- tion. Students with 25 points win letters and 15 additional points merit a star. This year ' s winners were (back) Nat Mal- colm, Dottie Berck, Lindsey Alston, (front) Pam Honaker, Elizabeth Wright and Randi Bryant. Randi was also pre- sented a dictionary for having accumulated a new record high point total of 1 1 9 points. 10 Perhaps the most coveted awards presented at the Literary Awards Assembly are the acting awards. Each year the casts and stage and production crews of all the dramatic productions vote by secret ballot for the best actor and actress and the best supporting actor and actress. The results of the voting showed Jeep Whitaker, best supporting actor, Nat Malcolm, best actor, Sandy Nettles, best actress, and Randi Bryant, best supporting actress. Cradock has always been especially noted for its forensic activities, and this year proved to be no different. With the talent of the students and the enthusiasm of the English Department who coached them, Cradock had little difficulty in winning top honors. On the district level, we were represented by Kathy McCormack in spelling, Pam Honaker and Harold Kretzer in poetry reading, Carolyn Blaylock and Bruce Keaton in prose reading, and Randi Bryant and Neal Barnes in public speaking. At the district meet, Bruce Keaton and Carolyn Blaylock, pictured at right, won first place ratings. Pam Honaker took a sec- ond place. Bruce and Carolyn, because they were both first place winners, were allowed to enter the competition on the state level where they brought even more honor to Cradock. Carolyn was judged the state ' s best girl prose reader and Bruce took second in boys ' prose reading. ' 1 1 Some of Cradock ' s “pioneer citizens attend the special Cradock Day assembly. Gracfoch Jhfonors Citizens Of hhje yincf youth Cradock ' s S.C.A. has always been a strong advocate of citi- zenship in the community as well as in the school. In an attempt to trace and compile a history of Cradock, a special S.C.A. committee search- ed records and documents. These efforts resulted in a very special assembly honoring Cradock as it stood fifty years ago and as it stands today. An impressive oc- casion, young and old citizens alike honored their community. School citizenship is observed every year during a special week. During this Citizenship Week, the S.C.A. sponsors the election of the best citizen from each class. One of the highest honors paid a student, the presentation of the Best Citizen plaques re- main a climactic highlight of every year. Cradock ' s Best Citizens were: 8th grade, Addison Daniel; 9th grade, Nadine Browne; 10th grade, Paula Smith; 11th grade, Cris Grigas; and 12th grade, Ronnie Conway. Vanity Baseball Team: Terry DePriest, Leon Bell, Tommy Larviee; 2nd row: Chester May, Mike Collins, Ronnie Con- Dail, Rod Wade, Dennis Novack, Nat Malcolm, Clyde Ivy, way, Greg Whitley, Jerry Goul, Stan Root, Johnny Morris, Mike Dunlow, Linwood Archer, Mike Bradley, Dennis Mike Lebar and Robert Lindsey. c Coach Eure and Coach Bell c Tri-captains Bell, Novack, and Dunlow 14 Scou s Z)l jf CRun Uo iJl Ua entecf Ream Though winning only five of fifteen games, Cradock ' s team did not seem discouraged. The superb pitching and hitting of Leon Bell led the team well. Other senior members, as Novack and Dunlow served their final year in good form. Perhaps the most astonishing aspect of this year ' s team is the promise that it sug- gests in the person of pitcher Tommy Dail and other underclassmen. Next year ' s team should draw scouts from all over the country to see a team and individuals scoring high!

Second row: Steve Ranlin, Louis Edelstein, Carlos Rasnake, John Murphy, John Meeks, Ronnie Williams, Jack Neely, and Bobby Hare. Cradock ' s track team is one of promise. Losing only two meets this year, the team seemed to show potential with its majority of strength coming from its junior members. Steve Rankin led the team in its strongest event, Distance. Other Distance men included Hare, Rasnake, Neely, Gibson, and Meeks. Louis Edelstein, new to the team, trained in the Shot Put. Williams and Strickland also entered Shot Put competition. Jimmy Salas led in the Pole Vaulting event with Harry Edelstein as his apprentice. Top Hurdlers were all under- classmen, Bill Clark, Larry Howell, and Ronnie Davis. Next year ' s forecast is bright and sunny for spring track!

Jimmy Whitener and Mike Revels were the only return- ing lettermen, and Joe Petrie, team captain, was the only Senior in the top six positions. David Kyle, Tom McCotter, and Rick Skelton were the other starters. They were backed up by Bob Gomer, Bobby Stinnett, and Jerry War- ren. The team surprised everyone by winning two matches and concluding their season with a 2-7 record.

Uhe ' junior- Senior ShocuSoai SProuecf JKemoraSfe The music and dancing were grand, but so was the punch! The Junior Class presented the Senior Class with a memorable gift, the prom Showboat. The gymnasium on the night of May 14, 1965, was transformed into a Mississippi riverboat, complete with columns and a view of a riverbank dotted with plantations. Billy Morris and his orchestra played a variety of music. The Senior Class deeply appreciated the efforts of prom chairman, Chris Grigas, and her committee, who did such a commendable job. Both the Seniors and the Juniors will remember Showboat tor a long while. The Seniors enter the gymnasium for their last assembly. On Thursday, June 3, 1965, the Senior Class entered the gymnasium for the last time. This assembly was dedicated by the class to Mrs. Evelyn Byrd Adamson, the class sponsor. The program consisted of the presentation of the Class His- tory, Class Poem, Last Will and Testament, Class Gift to the school, Class Song, and a special present to Mrs. Adamson. The Seniors dedicated their assembly to their sponsor, Mrs. Adamson, who was presented a miniature French poodle. A reception for Mrs. Adamson, honored guests, and teachers was held after the assembly. Mr. Strickland executes some fancy footwork to avoid the flawless guarding of Bill Havens. The student-faculty basketball game was held twice this year. At the first game both the boys and the girls lost to the male and female faculty members, respectively. The boys, who lost by a much, much smaller mar- gin than the girls, requested a rematch. At the second game, the boys again lost, but the student body was proud that they had come so close to a win. The moral to the story is: It ' s not how you play the game, it ' s whether you win or lose! JsJAai A OG ' yAf Is) hen UeacAers Ancf S uc en s GfasA! From the looks on some of these faces, the girls had some anxious moments. 22 Most of the scenes took place in the home of Judge Turner and the bobby- soxer. . . . cS, eniors CPresenf u ffie 7) a c fie for yincf fffe oxer v But some of the most interesting ones were staged by Tarzan (Billy Jones) and Agnes (Ruth Liljegren) at the Tick Took Club. The Senior Class play, The Batchelor and the Bobby-Soxer, was pre- sented on May 28 in the school auditorium. The presentation rep- resented the efforts of a cast full of only seniors, many of whom had no previous experience on the stage. A special ef- fort was extended by Dottie Berck, student di- rector, and Mrs. Trudell, faculty director. A production of fun and laughs, The Bache- lor and the Bobby-Soxer proved to be another Cradock Great. Mrs. Trudell and Dottie Berck discuss some techniques with leads Dale Brinson and Bruce Keaton. The Senior Class Banquet took place on Tuesday, May 18, 1965, at the Suburban Country Club. At this dinner, the song, history, poem, and Last Will and Testament were presented to the Senior Class for the first time. The entire class seemed impressed with these items, which would be presented to the entire stu- dent body during the Senior Assembly. Everyone agreed that the food at the Suburban Country Club was better than that in the school cafeteria! c Seniors Jeast On Joocf Jor CBocfy The guests at the head table included Barbara Bastinelli, co-author of the song; Lindsey Alston, lawyer; Harold Kretzer, poet; Elizabeth Wright, historian; The Reverend Carlton W. Long; Mr. R. E. Byrd; Mr. A. J. Mapp; Mrs J. J. Booker, Jr.; and Mr. Booker. Others at the head table were Nat Malcolm, class president and co-author of the song; Mr. W. D. Graham, sponsor; Mrs. Evelyn B. Adamson, sponsor; Mrs. Rose E. Pollard, 24 Guidance Director; Billy Jones, S. C. A. president; Ronnie Conway, vice-president; Kay Wiggs, secretary; Patsy Sim- mons, trecsurer; and Dale Brinson, banquet chairman. The Reverend Owen Kelly, who gave the sermon, was assisted by The Reverend Henry Foster. As Baccalaureate was the first time gowns were worn, many seniors needed help. On Sunday, June 6, 1965, the Reverend Owen Kelly, who once served as minister to the Crad- ock Methodist Church, returned to Cradock from Epworth Methodist Church in Norfolk to address the graduating seniors. In his address, he at- tempted to impress the class with the impor- tance of combining compatibility and intelli- gence with emotion. This lesson, along with others he mentioned, were to help the class be- come better equipped to live in the future. Of He G ass Of 1965 becomes yi umni Commencement came for the class of 1965 on Thursday, June 10, 1965, in the Cradock High School Stadium. The feelings of the en- tire class can be found in an editorial of the June, 1965, edition of The Shipmate. It reads: A short five years ago, the class of 1965 entered Cradock High School; and in a few more days, all will have left. Graduation is an extremely joyous occasion but, at the same time, an extremely sad one. People who have known each other since the first years of grammar school will soon be departing — each going his own way. The past five years have been important in molding the lives and character of each member of the class. These seniors have made a name for themselves — they have worked hard to be somebody. And now, they must give up all this hard-earned status — underclassmen will take over their positions on publications, in forensics, in sports, in clubs, in Student Council, in music, and in dramatics. Next September the people in the class of ' 65 will be all but forgotten. And the class of 1966 will be on top, the lead- ers of the school. Upon entering Cradock, the big thought is to hurry and graduate. Now the time is here, and most seniors are beginning to wish they had five more years in school to decide what they want to do upon graduating. As we look back over the past five years, we remember all the fun, the tears, and the work that we ' ve all shared. Each of us will take a part of Cradock High with us, and we hope that a part of us will always remain with Cradock. 26 ABOVE: The speakers at Commencement, Lindsey Als- ton, Dottie Berck, Randi Bry- ant, Elizabeth Wright, and Harold Kretzer talk to Nat Malcolm (on the telephone), who was unable to be a speaker because of illness.

She had been directing the Senior Class play and had become angry with the cast. She told them all to go home, learn their lines, and come back when they were ready for a re- hearsal. Solemnly, the cast filed out of the auditorium. Mrs. Adamson proceeded to lock up and turn out the lights. When she left she found this phrase scrawled upon the rafters —WE LOVE YOU, EVELYN— We, the Seniors of the new Cradock High School, would like to express these same senti- ments to Mrs. Adamson, whose diligence in her work and devotion to our class have made her special in our hearts. Some of us shall remember her as a Sponsor, some as an ad- visor, some as a devoted teacher, some as a personal friend and some as a combination of these; all of us shall remember Evelyn Adamson Miss Byrd Evelyn Adamson and Le Petit Admiral, a gift from the Senior Class, compliment each other as a new team. advisor 29 personal friend CJe Close O ur IcrapSool ( hi i A final Safuie Tie raise our voices now to greet thee, (Jur school . f our GraDoch Dfigh.
