THE PEPERGRAM The monthly publication of, by, and for the students of Culpeper High School is the Peper- gram. ' ' Its purposes this year were to create an active interest in journalism, to entertain its readers, and to foster a war conscious spirit in the youth of fighting America. Its pages were devoted mainly to school, community and world-wide events which promote VICTORY. Anne Willis is the editor-in-chief of the Pepergram. Assistants are Evelyn Payne and Betty Thurston. The Pepergram ' s business manager is Peggy McVeigh. On her staff is the advertising manager, Elizabeth Jones, and the circulation manager, Margaret Eggborn. Special features which are given a place in the Pepergram each month are All Out For Victory written by Robert Fant, Of All Things by Emily Smith, Orchids and Onions by Duff Green, Miss Inquisitive who is Mary Ellen McClary and The Pepper Shaker, author unknown. Last year the Pepergram received the second class honor rating from the National Scholastic Press Association. Again this year the first four issues have been sent to be judged and criticized. The Pepergram was given International First Place Award by Quill and Scroll in 1942.

OFFICERS President .....Mary Hagy Catron Vice-President Harriet Green Secretary-Treasurer Emily Smith Reporter Julia Quaintance The purposes of the Library Club are to train assistants for the school library and to foster interest in libraries and books. These students care for library material, check books in and out, and raise enough money each year to purchase one unit of books for the school. At least one assembly is given for the student body. This year an interest- ing program was given presenting reviews of newly acquired books, current best sellers, books of war stories and war work bought through the Library Club.

This organization is composed of boys who are studying vocational agri- culture. They work for the advancement of the community, state, and nation. Rural leadership is an outstanding need of the year. Through the Future Farmers of America scientific agriculture will be realized. These boys will learn to produce better and larger crops which will give the food vital for wartime.

With this thought in mind the 4-H Clubs throughout the nation have pledged their Heads, Hearts, Hands, and Health to victory. With every member enrolled in some project related to the war effort, the 4-H Club is a great factor in winning the war. The President of the United States wrote in December, 1942, to the 4-H Clubs of the nation. We have faith in your ability to render a great service. We know that you, like your brothers and sisters in the service, love the spirit and perseverance that will bring victory in the fight for human freedom and a world at peace. We are doing our part!

Conservation, honor, and clean-up committees have been working through- out the year. The sale of war stamps, collections of scrap, and organization of a Victory Corps have been sponsored by the S. C. A. This organization has given the student body a voice in the government of the school. President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer OFFICERS ....C. F.

The Victory Corps which is sponsored by the S. C. A. is basically an edu- cational plan to provide instruction and practical training for service in the war effort. Special emphasis is placed upon the training of youth for war services that will come after the students leave school as well as the active participation of youth in the community war effort while they are in school. Objectives of the organization are: (1) To provide guidance into critical services and occupations by keeping pupils currently informed of manpower needs and by helping them choose and prepare for such occupations; (2) To promote a wartime citizenship by strengthening the studies basic to citizenship training for American life; (3) To enlarge the physical education program; (4) To provide for community services by preparing for work in essential occupations of civilian life; (5) To help in salvage drives, stamp sale campaigns, and Red Cross work. In addition to the General Division there are five special divisions: the Air Service Division, which corresponds to the Air Corps; the Land Service Division, which is similar to the Army; the Sea Service Division, which represents the Navy; the Production Service Division and the Community Service Division. The entire Victory Corps is sponsored by Mr. R. R. Tolbert, Principal, Mrs. Otis Thornhill, Jr., and Miss Virginia Lewis, S. C. A. sponsors. Each Division also has a faculty sponsor; namely, Miss Ruth Campbell, Miss Anna Mae Harris, Mrs. George Hudson, Miss Gertrude Lewis, Mr. Carter White, and Mr. R. D. McCommons.

Third row, left to right: Henrietta Berry, Mrs. George Hudson, Bobby Peterson, Edith Weakley, Miss Ruth Campbell, Anne Willis. Contrary to the customs of preceding years, membership in the Hi-Y this year was opened to all high school girls who measured up to the standards of the club. These standards, symbolized by the triangular Hi-Y pin, are clean thoughts, clean speech, clean scholarship, and clean sportsmanship. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain and extend high standards of Christian living throughout the High School and community and its activ- ities this year were directed toward that end. Welfare work included the adoption of an underprivileged child to whom were sent baskets at Thanks- giving and Christmas and who was given the X-ray for tuberculosis. Chapel programs were held for the student body and programs on Honesty during Honesty Week. Each month mottoes appear in every home room for which the club is responsible.

The Boys ' Hi-Y Club, a branch of the National Y.M.C.A., is a religious and social fellowship designed to develop the mind, body, and spirit of each of its members. These goals, clean thoughts, clean speech, clean scholarship, and clean sportsmanship are symbolized by the tri-cornered Hi-Y pin. The club was first organized in 1935 and at the present time has fourteen members on roll. Its work has done much toward the moral uplifting of our school. OFFICERS President C. F.

Speak the speech, I pray you . . . And so the Dramatic Club play is on. Either it is a short one act comedy or a drama to instill the canons ol patriotism in the American Warriors heart. The immediate aim of the Dramatic Club of Culpeper High School of 1943 has been to build morale and to scatter the gloom created by the horrors of a second world war. This was accomplished through such productions as What a Night,” No Greater Love, What ' s the Matter with Helen, Little Prison, and Just Another Saturday Night. The highlight of the year ' s activities was the reorganization of Troupe No. 303 of the National Thespians, eight Dramatic Club members qualifying for membership.

The Glee Club is an organization for those who have interest and ability in singing. The membership is determined by individual try-outs in the presence of the officers and sponsor. This year it had thirty-one members. Enjoyment is one of their reasons for joining and achievement is an objective. They have learned many new songs and have helped teach the student body popular war time songs. The Glee Club has sung for various programs. Among these have been the Lee-Jackson Program and Education Week Assemblies. Assisted by the Dramatic Club they presented a candle light Christmas Program. The club also sang on Baccalaureate and Commencement nights in June.

Page Forty-three cuss HISTORY The scroll of the class history unrolls and takes us back to the year of 1939. Freshman were we, one of the largest classes to enter the realm of Culpeper High School. How envious we were of the stately seniors as they marched down the aisle in assembly! We were divided into three groups under Miss Juliet Gentile, Mr. Charles Caldwell, and Mr. Hughes Reveley. We soon learned to change classes and assume an experienced appearance. To welcome us the seniors gave a picnic at Hutcherson ' s Grove. The auditorium seating arrangement was instituted that year and Billy Willis was elected class president. Feeling not quite as important but much more dignified, we found ourselves seated in the Sophomore home room with Tootie Trainum as president. Under our new coach, H. E. Null, the football team won the Eastern State Champion- ship over Kempsville. The boys from this school caused many of our feminine hearts to flutter. Rabbit hunting was a frequent pastime in Mr. Shotwell ' s biology classes and his practical jokes were a source of amusement to all. They constituted one of the high lights of our second year and will long be remembered, especially by Colleen and Beverly. Upon our arrival into the Junior Room we were greeted by Leta, who knew her way around due to previous experience. We elected Claude Bradley presi- dent, and under him with the guidance of our sponsors, Miss Porterfield and Miss Harris, we gave the seniors a banquet and dance. The Glee Club won the rating of ' ' excellent” at the State Music Festival and our football team again won the Eastern State Championship. Puppy love was prevalent this year with the spotlight centered on Ellen and Scotty. Finally the day arrived when we entered the portals of C. H. S. as Seniors. Our first step was the election of our class officers with Forrest Carpenter as president. We received our rings in December with sapphires and garnets tying for first place in popularity. It was decided that we would have a year- book, and the Colonnade staff started work. Will we ever forget how proud we were of the success of our class play, False Fronts, and the good times we had practicing for it? Measurements were taken for caps and gowns, and we saw the year drawing to a close with graduation being the center of our thoughts. We realized now that the June, ' 43 which once seemed so far distant is fast approaching and that it is almost time for us to say good-bye to our high school days, which we in future years will look back upon as the happiest days of our life. Page Forty-six Last Will and Testament We, the Senior Class of ' 43, having completed the four years necessary for graduation, feel it is our duty to leave some of our better known qualities behind us to guide the underclassmen. We, therefore, do ordain and make known the following bequests: To Emily Smith, Mary Hagy Catron ' s business ability, but don ' t try to Laucke it up. To Marjorie Gilmore, Geneva Hoffman ' s love for Physical Education. Harriet Green wills her dramatic speeches in assembly to Billy Reams. To Woods Stringfellow, Lila Dodson ' s dramatic ability. To Mr. White ' s Physical Education classes, our sincere wishes that they will soon have a real gym to romp in. To Myrtle Williams, Clara Margaret Hawkins ' way on the basketball court. Polly Miller and Effie Sours leave their loyalty to the Armed Forces to Libby Roberts. To anyone who wishes to acquire it Anne Willis ' s ability to get things mixed up plus her absentmindedness. (You ' ll be sorry, believe me.) Mary Ellen McClary bequeathes her peppy manner to Barbara Rosson. Snooks Button leaves his corny jokes to Dicky Furnival. (poor soul) Tinka Yancey wills her patent on Billy Boy as theme song to Dot Watson to be used exclusively in Front Royal. Forrest Carpenter leaves his gridiron tactics to Bobby Johnson.

Smitty wills his A-l sense of humor to Bryant Durham. To Miss Jones, many quiet hours to repay her for the hectic ones she ' s had with us this year. Ellen Moore wills her peaches and cream complexion to Ellen Bragg. To Charles Hurt, Edgar Bushong ' s resonant spea king voice. To Duff Green, Carolyn Eller ' s enthusiasm for jive.

Page Forty-seven Last W ill and Testament To Marshall Jenkins, a few of Charles Franklin ' s extra inches. Donald and Raymond Kite leave their love of a little game of chance to Earl Collier. To the Senior Class of ' 44, as many laughs and good times as we had. Mardis Utz leaves her interests in the trucking business to Frances Hitt but she has a No Trespassing sign on her Van. The French Class leaves to those who never had Miss Porterfield their deepest regrets. You don ' t know what you ' ve missed. Edith Apperson leaves her interest in the 4-H Club to Margaret Eggborn. Beverly Harlow and Floyd Mozingo bequeath their clowning ways to Henrietta Berry and Chuck Haley. Colleen Jenkins wills her blushes to Frances Gimbel, although she has a copious supply on hand. Marshall Seale leaves his love of teasing to Mac Moore. To Lorraine Frye, Jackie Johnston ' s flirtatious manner. Claude Breeden bequeaths his stylish clothes to Joe Weaver. Hilda Thornhill leaves her flighty mannerisms to Peggy Dinkel. Dot Kelly wills her pet expressions, namely, likewise and pardon to Joanne Bailey.

Helen Woodward leaves her mildness to Peggy Jeffries. Eleanor Cooper wills her sweetness and gentleness to anyone who needs it in a bad moment. Dorothy Roberts bequeaths her ludicrous remarks to Billy Willson. To Tip Eddy, what ' s left! Last but not least our most sincere appreciation to the faculty for bearing with us these past years. We hope you will not judge the entire class by the above, but by those who still retain a small amount of that polish that is so sadly lacking these days. Mary Ann Brown, Edith Weakley, Julia Taylor, and Mary Kibler leave behind some of this polish with the hope that it will be used to the best advantage by the coming class. Hoping that you will forgive our mistakes and errors, we remain obediently yours, The Senior Class of 1943. BOBBY PETERSON and CAROLYN ELLER P. S. For all words not understood by the lowly underclassmen we refer you to Miss Jones. Page Forty-eight o � tN!OK UlARY _ _ 1 7 riMi irfi 4Z Jn- 2 TtfcAe-eA .

As I flew down in my auto-jeep my heart beat wildly in anticipation, for I was about to witness what Old Father Time had done for each of my classmates of 1943. The occasion was my class reunion — the biggest social event of the season. As I entered the portals of my old alma mater, I was greeted by three personable little Freshmores (the newest class in Ann Wingfield) who sang, Welcome to Culpeper High, composed by songwriter, Helen Petty, and directed me to Principal Stanley Button ' s office. His efficient secretary, Miss Minerva Bunch, received my card and I entered. Prof. Button, who had such a deep devotion to C. H. S. that he could never leave it, offered me a 3 cent cigar and told me his latest little imbecile joke. He then invited me to visit several of the classrooms. First we looked in upon a busy Greek class whose teacher was none other than Miss Effie Sours. Then we were led into the library where chief librarian, Hilda Thornhill, sat in a big easy chair engaged in reading the nation ' s best seller, The Art of Swiping and Holding Fraternity Pins, written by authoress, Anne Willis. Prof. Button then pointed with pride to his newest department where the pupils taught the teachers and were at present conduct- ing a course in roller skating supervised by a specialist in this field, Miss Lucy May Starkey. Stepping into an elevator, operated by Helen Woodward, who gave me a big smile, I was whisked down to the gym where I found Physical Ed. Instructress, Julia Quaintance, drilling her undefeatable Pink Devils” basketball squad; Edna Settle, the only woman known to have swum Mountain Run, splashing in the indoor pool; and Hilda Lucas playing shortstop on the Women ' s Softball Team which was having a workout on the indoor diamond. The alarm on my watch sounded then, and I hurried off to the banquet which was scheduled to begin at any second. As I rushed down the marble stairway, I ran straight into Harriet Green and five of her cocker spaniels from the prosperous Dog Heaven Kennels which she now owns in conjunction with the Green Stinky Skunk Farm. Amid much barking, I was finally untangled and made my way to the kitchen where Hallie Jenkins, noted dietician, was giving last minute instructions about the caviar to chief chef, Marshall Seale. I took one long sniff, reminded Hallie of my mania for apple pie, and hurried on to the banquet. The Banquet Hall, painted by interior decorator Colleen Jenkins, was a sight to behold! On the table was a beautiful centerpiece of dragon lilies and poison ivy furnished by florist, Julia Taylor. The table was set with hand painted china, a gift, I heard, from Mary Ann Brown, now a newspaper correspondent in Japan. Evelyn Kibler, ambassador to Ireland, had donated the linen napkins and the glasses were given by glass blower, Eleanor Cooper. Seated at the head of the table was our former class president, Forrest Carpenter, now campaigning for governor of Virginia. On his right was Prof. Edgar Bushong, famous lecturer and speaker of the day. Charles Franklin Clement, now known to millions as Victor Vamp, the idol of the screen, was seated on his left. Glancing around the table, I spotted Jackie Johnston, who was talking with millionaire banker, Franklin Mitchell, about the heavy odds on Baby Girl, a racing horse, from her world renowned stables. Floyd Mozingo, illustrator for Fun Film Magazine,” Dorothy Kelly, lady mayor of Culpeper City, Frank Rosenberger, Manhattan playboy, Beverly Har low, radio comedian, and Ellen Moore who has recently left her husband for a career as a Powers model were in a huddle discussing old times. Side by side were Rev. Donald Kite and his brother Raymond, proprietor of the Monte Carlo Cabaret, biggest restaurant in Culpeper City. The doors swung wide and movie star, Shirley Ann Hawkins, entered with sable, orchids, and maid. Her lovely gown was a Mardis Utz original, her coiffure was created by hair stylist, Edith Weakley, and her Red Tiger nail polish was a product of the noted make-up experts, Page Fifty-two Class Reunion— ’53 Audrey and Pauline Jenkins. Across the table was Clara Margaret Hawkins, M.D., intently reading the most widely circulated newspaper of the time, The Pepper Pot whose success was accredited to its able business manager, career woman, Mary Hagy Catron. Dr. Hawkins read first of the amazing new hens that lay deviled eggs discovered by that scientific farmer, Bill Edmondson. Experts declare it to be the most amazing discovery of the century. The Pepper Pot ' s headlines blazed, Tanner Greeted by Wife after a Non-Stop Flight from Culpeper to Slate Mills. His wife, the former Miss Lila Dodson, is now conducting an arduous campaign for President. Scanning the gossip sheet, Dr. Hawkins turned to Nurse Elsie Bennett beside her and asked, Have you seen Jean Wood ' s ' Advice to the Lovelorn Column ' today? Nurse Bennett shook her head, so Dr. Hawkins read aloud a most touching letter from debutante Dorothy Roberts explaining her desperate situation since the fake French actress, Marie Elena McClarie, eloped with the Count Ed Mon Son. Miss Wood ' s timely advice solved the problem of this unhappy girl. Helen Woodville, owner of a reform school for girls, sat conversing with Marie Frazier, Superintendent of the School Board of C. H. S., about the best means of punishing delinquent girls who persisted on chewing gum. The worst part about it, said Miss Woodville, is the new Choo-choo Bubble Gum invented by Mary Kibler which can be chewed for five days without losing its fresh strawberry flavor. My school will not tolerate it! Some excitement was caused by the arrival of a messenger boy with a telegram in Alaskan which, when translated by translator Carroll Clybern, read I regret to say that I will be unable to attend our reunion because my destroyer is parked on an iceburg and the sixty minutes aren ' t up and signed General Charles Smith. Missing also from the circle of familiar faces was Polly Miller, who is now living on coconuts and bananas with her husband in Tahiti; Corinne Gore, missionary in darkest Africa, and Robert Covington who is on tour with one of his cross-continent streamlined busses. Highlight of the evening ' s entertainment was a violin solo by the gifted concert soloist, Miss Geneva Hoffman, who brought tears to my eyes with her rendition of Autumn Leaves in the Gutter, Never Again Will They Flutter. This was followed by an informal address by retired Admiral Bernard Williams who told of his experiences in the bachelor ' s home where he now resides. After the delicious banquet had been served, all the guests sat back to enjoy the floor show. Hat check girl, Edith Apperson, made her rounds with candy and cigarettes, and then circus manager, C. F. Yates, stepped up to introduce his miraculous, stupendous novelty act which had thrilled audiences from coast to coast. This included a breath-taking exhibition by Leta Fitzhugh, snake charmer, who tamed the most venomous rattler at a glance and a fast moving tap routine by side show dancer, Roberta Anne Peterson, in a costume of red, white, and blue stripes. Next, that swing maestro, number one band leader and former pal of the ' 43 seniors, Bugs Breeden, stepped into the spotlight and began a sizzling tune called, Why Did You Do Wrong with his five-foot-two vocalist, Carolyn Eller, doing the honors. The dramatic climax of the big show was a specialty done by that famous juggler, Tinka Yancey, performed on a bicycle while riding on a tight rope suspended in mid-air, to make her task more spectacular and interesting. This ended my eventful day, so I climbed into my auto-jeep, waved a regretful good- bye, and flew away with the memory of a perfect class reunion in my heart.
