H. S. Class Hiffory W |E HAVE come a long way since ___ i that September day in ’33, when as green freshmen we entered nigh school; so let’s turn our eyes backward. Everything was new to us ; there were four new teachers in school (Miss McNeil, Miss Baggett, Mrs. Smith, and Mr. Shotwell) a new cafeteria, and a new Glee Club. We were a rowdy, impulsive, dumb group of “freshies,” thrilled at the thought of what lay ahead; but Mr. Shotwell, our sponsor, scon put a damper on us by passing out six detention hall slips the very first day. The hang out and most popular places for many of the members of this class, to be sure, was the office and a short vacation at home. Nevertheless, we came through all right with less than a few quality credits, much knowl- edge of the world, and many in bliss of puppy love (ask Fleety and Fax). First floor, Rooms 9 and 4, (Mrs. Hud- son and Mr. Jefferson presiding), were assigned to all freshies lucky enough to pet there, and ones who were un- fortunate enough not to go further up the hall. We had great fun that year: first taste of club activity and a greater interest in “Big Jeff’s” T room. (’Mem- ber how we girls in the back used to blush at “Jeff” and those “big boys” in the corner?) Block tickets came in for the first time and we had a Hi-Y Conference here that year; both were grand successes. That year La Rue and Fant were most dreamy of couples. Then to the Junior Room. Oh, how important we felt ! For many it was the first time to have a woman sponsor of our class. Miss Winn almost turned us into dignified ladies and gen- tlemen that year. Club activities be- came even more interesting and “Camp- bell Soup” became a favorite dish of all girls. John Thrift made a fine class president and under his supervision we entertained the Seniors at a fine party. Subjects were more difficult, as we ran into geometry for the first time, and for many it proved a blank wall. There were lots of love affairs blossoming in the Junior Room last year. Remember Fant and Lorraine, Johnny and Fran- ces? Seniors! To the goal we had come! How big we felt, how dignified we tried to be! “Hayseed” was again the class president. And what exciting times we had under his leadership. Mr. Wright and Mr. Hudgins were the only new teachers, and of course, Mrs. Reams was our sponsor. Gee! it was a busy year with the selection of rings, invitations, caps and gowns, and our play, “For Pete’s Sake!” and trying to keep up with Jimmy and Virginia. It was one of the school’s largest gradu- ating classes and everybody had a full year of fun and hard work. And then with a tear in one eye and a smile in the other, we bid adieu to our faculty and underclassmen. PATSY BERRY. 19 C. H. S. CLASS TROPHECY 4 Very Dark and Stormy Night — iy6o if (Harris Grimsley) L ISTEN to that rain outside. It ' s certainly a terrible night. I think I’ll sit down by the fire and take it easy. I wonder what’s good to read among these books? Let’s see, what’s this? The Colonnade, 1937. It’s my old classbook! Gosh, these pictures look familiar. I wonder what has become of that class. I’ve got an idea! I’ll look in this ‘ Who’s Who” of 1958. Hmm — I might as well start at the beginning. Hotcha! just listen: Berry. Eleanor Patricia, lawyer: foremost woman lawyer in U. S. Home, New York. Well, she was certainly sharp enough to be a lawyer. She couldn’t keep quiet. Brown, Edna Earle, novelist, author of The Scarlet Sage,” Nobel Prizp Winner in Literature 1958. Well, she always had the best compositions in English class. Ho! Brown, Kenneth Rhodes, motion picture star, owner of Blue Willow Night Club, Lignum, Vir- ginia. Also a famous polo player. Well, well, Brown, Vernelle, famous woman artist. Painter of “The Breakers,” which won first prize in Metro- politan Art Gallery, New York City, N. Y. Chelf, Josephine, technician, Mayo Hospital, Rochester, Minnesota. “Fleety always did have an ambition to be a technician. Carder, Silas William, crimi- nal lawyer, known as The Great Foghorn.” Has won 900 out of 803 cases. I guess that nickname came from his voice. Coates, Virginia, designer, Macy’s, New York City, assistant editor Delinea- tor. Ah, ha, Cubbage, Cecile; known by her stage name of Cecelia Cubasky. She ought to do well in the movies. Crigler, Mary Miller, interior decorator: firm Crigler and Crigler. Well, that’s that for the C’s. I’ll look in E. Edwards, Charles Wallace, Professor Impratical Mathematics, Fish- town University; home, Macon. Georgia. Barrel” was the best math scholar in school. Fitzhugh, Pembroke Thom, Secretary of Agriculture, Presi- dent Wottasimp’s cabinet. Grant, Jean, famous woman golfer, holder of English and American championships; home. Newport, Rhode Island, and London, England. Green, Helen, woman mission- ary to China. Good, Geneva, dietitian. Yale Uni- versity. Heflin, Ella Belle, President National Newspaper Association. Foreign commentator, New York Times. Jasper, Edith; Home Economics expert, Cornell University. I guess she got her training when she ran the school cafeteria. Ha! ha! Johnson, Anne, National President D. A. R. I can ' t find Jolliffe. Ch, I forgot she married the Duke of Kantzer and is now living in Bohemia. Judd, Helen, here’s another, school teacher Gov- ernor Clinton High School, New York City. Founder Judd System in teaching. Kibler, Inez, scientist, noted for experiments in regard to solar rays. Lane, Lucille, better known by her stage name as Lesseya Swingit. Famous tap dancer and partner in famous dance team of Stompit and Swingit. Who would have thought that. Hmm Let’s lock at the M’s. Myers, Eunice, style con- sultant Pierre ' s of Paris. Well, I’ll look over a little farther, N, O, P, Pe, Ph, Pi; ah, Pierce, Dr. Jacquelin, physician; home, Rixeyville, Virginia. Noted for his discovery of cure for rabbit fever known as the Pierce treatment. Well, that’s that. Ah! Quaintance, Elizabeth. Secretary to R. U. Asucka, Vice-President of the United States. Wotta girl! Rue, Anna Marie, society editor and style commentator New York Clarion; in private life Countess DeBurn. Well, I expected that. Sneed, James W., manager Philadelphia Mares Baseball team. Won six pennants and nine world series in nine years. Strother, Marguerite, U. S. Senator from Nevada, famous social security ad- vocate. Walker, Elizabeth, former woman athlete. Now vice-president A. J. Connelton Sporting Goods Company. Waugh, Bill, president Waugh Publish- ing Company, famous authority on Plane Geome- try and its use in sculpture. Husband of Sally Squeak, famous burlesque queen. Weaver, Fran- ces, superntendent nurses’ school, Bellhaven Hos- pital, New York. Weaver, Lorraine, U. S. Ambas- sador to France. Owner of famous racing horse, “Projectile,” Kentucky Derby winner in 1956; home 1197 Riverside Park, Boston, Virginia. Whiting, George E., President Borem Firearms Company; President Board of Directors Eureka Oil Company. Willis, Cornelia, President Vassar College, noted Lecturer. Williams. Kitty Leigh, famous actress. Known internationally in her role of Ophelia in “Hamlet.” Hey, what’s this, Withington, Sarah Vey, poet and art critic, in private life, Virginia Apperson. No wonder I couldn’t find her name!! That seems to be all but I’ve overlooked some of them. I’ll look in this index. Let ' s see, Carpenter, look under Van Trinkelow. Here is it! Van Trinkelow, Mrs. Frances, famous composer of such famous tunes as What’s In a Name?” Under Your Thumb,” and What’s Up Your Sleeve.” Signs her name simply as Frances Carpenter. Gosh, most of the girls are married. Ah, I know about Marion Jameson. She is the wife of Lord Dunstan, British foreign secretary. I’ll look back over the D’s. Yes, here it is, Dunstan, Lady Marion, famous social worker; home, London. Well, I can ' t account for Edith Rumsey; I’ve looked in the R’s, but no luck. Well, I’ll close this book. Hey, what’s this introduction? This book compiled and edited by Miss Edith Rumsey, lexicographer, compiler of New English dictionary and many other works. Well, well, quite a tough job to write a dictionary! That’s all for that class! It’s been so much pleasure to think when we were students together. I ' m glad they did so well. Well, it has stopped raining, the fire is about out, so I guess I’ll take this newspaper and go to bed. Look at this headline: “Sir Francis Malcolm Harris, noted aviator, has received Nat- uralization Papers.” I’ll read this. Sir Malcolm gives his reasons for changing his nationality as this: American women are too bold. They are too modern and sophisticated. I am going to Eng- land and marry an old-fashioned girl.” Holy mackerel! I know it’s time to retire. What a world ! ! ! 20 La§t Will and Testament Class of 1937 (Cornelia Willis E, the Senior Class of Culpeper High School, of Culpeper, Virginia, being of unsound and unsettled intellects, do here- by make, publish, and declare this to be our final will and testament, hereby revoking all wills by us at any tme heretofore made. First, we desire our just debts to be forgotten! Second, we wish and desire all our real ana personal estate (beautifying tools, marbles, gossip, chawing gum, etc.) shall pass to those persons who would be entitled to receive the same when the teacher ain’t looking in case we had departed with the aforesaid wealth undisturbed. Third, we, in a fit of generous humanness, do unkindly bestow the following disadvantages to our unfortunate fellows: To Miss Campbell, one of the newest model classroons with plenty of space to place numerous means of injecting information into future groups of energetic non-gum-chawing pupils. To Hugh Ryan Francis Malcolm’s ever-increas- ing supply of girls. To Peggy Berry Virginia Coates’ modest blushes. To Thelma Rosenthal a husband and a big church wedding. To Miss McNeil Erskine Grant’s plaits with the provision that she dance “The Highland Fling” wherever she wears them. To Mr. Hudgins all of Silas Carder’s git’s, aint’s, and fetche’s, also to Oscar Bates his philosophy of life. To Pete Norris Frances Carpenter’s melodious voice. To Fanny Hudson Barrel Edwards’ extra pounds. To Tish Roberts Frances Weaver leaves the summer baseball players. To Miss Lee Perry Lorraine Weaver’s affection for mice (at a distance). To Charlotte Bishop and Gay Lane Lucile Lane’s suckers. We warn them to distribute them freely at every ball game or they’ll have the tummy ache. To Edith Frances Brown Anna Marie Rue’s in- cessant talk, plus her flirtatious mannerism to add to her own talented big-eyed glancer. To Elizabeth Bushong Vernelle Brown’s and Cecil Cubb age’s giggles. They spread faster than fire. Perhaps its their red wigs. To this bequest it is thought best to add Mary Miller Crigler’s grin so that Elizabeth might have plenty of space to giggle uncramped. To Jimmie Green Francis Malcolm’s deliberate speech. To J.mmy Rust Bill Waugh’s characteristic of and Lorraine Weaver) coming through any scrape unbroken. Speaking of Mr. Waugh we warn you hands off his Kite or there’ll be a war here. To Virginia Wiseman Ella Belle Heflin’s cow- boys. To Tinky Martin Jimmy Sneed’s soap boxes to stand on at ball games, but he can’t have his Coates. To Frances Huffman all the newest song hits and ten tests in one day. To Emma Jane Patsy’s technique; she can use her dash to get ’em in Suffolk. To Howard to use for kindling wood Hayseed’s cane. Marian Jameson’s Yardley perfume to Miss Garlick. To Mary Lee Smith Fleety Belle’s tardies which she will kindly allow her to make-up. Bill Waugh’s hunger to nobody; it’s too great to be satisfied. Frances Weaver’s spacious trunk-sized pocket- books to Miss Campbell. To Martha Johnson her cousin Anne’s recipes Don’t be surprised what turns out of things. To Mr. Shotwell a pair of white pants which will remain unsoiled through all his tennis gam es. To Garland Booth Kenneth Brown’s bashfulness and lady killing ways. To the Athletic Association Liz Walker’s skill in playing any game. To Mrs. Reams plenty of peace and quiet to repay her for trying to keep us still all this year. To the whole school Lorraine Weaver’s jolly smile and charming sign language. Kitty Kat Williams’ magniloquent vocabulary to Oscar Bates which unusual dictionary should be a great asset to this eloquent orator. Most of the Seniors’ dignity has been sadly worn to bits so we beg that our new replacements apply to those of our number (Edna Earle Brown, Eunice Myers or Inez Kibler) who still have a scanty supply of this much needed treasure. Fourth we appoint Mrs. Myrd Bore and Fessor Robin, executors of this, our last will and testa- ment; we desire no security be required (it would be of no use) of the said executors. We authorize and empower Myrd Bore and Fessor Robin as our paid (don’t press too hard) executors to sell and convey our real estate and numerous investments as we know they’d sift through their hands otherwise. Given under our hand this 6th day of May, 1937. THE CLASS OF 1937. 21 r C. H. S Class r Poem- £argo ” (Kitty Leigh Williams) Length of sturdy milestone stretching Down the curving road of life; Light and shadow strangely etching Ecstasy, distress, and strife. Another milestone now we reach — Graduation day is nigh. Accompanied by our school’s refrain, On we’ll march, resolves flung high. Poets write in words of flame How lighted torch Greek runners passed. Graduation holds the same — “■Hail, farewell, God keep thee fast!” How can a mere rhymster, I, Catch in shining web of phrase The things that in each heart now’ lie — The joy, the fear, the hope, the praise? Joy for the goal we now attain, Tear for comradeship held dear, Hope for victories yet to gain, Praise for those who guide us here. But this I know for us is true Facing now the pathway steep; Part of us we leave with you, Part of you we’ll always keep. 22 C. H. S.
