VIRGINIA HIGH SCHOOL LITERARY AND ATHLETIC LEAGUE Box 1487, Charlottesville, Virginia COMMENTS ON THE 1944 PUBLICATIONS CONTEST Annuals Class C: Winner- The Colonade , Culpeper High School We thoroughly enjoyed reviewing another issue of THE COLONNADE. It continues to be the outstanding yearbook of Class C competition, despite increasing stiff opposition. The physical appearance of your annual is, as usual, very attractive. The binding is handsome, the photography excellent, and the printing in good taste. The contents of your publication are both interesting and varied. We commend particularly Notes from a Senior’s Diary, the layouts of In the Spotlight and of the Pepergram , both your Victory Corps and We Worked to Bring Victory features, your directory, and snapshots. The principal reason for our awarding your am lal first prize is, however, the originality of several of your features. You demonstrate that your incoming staffs are not bound to follow slavishly previous winning combinations, that with confidence and zest they mould new and entertaining highlights. We are thinking particularly of Seniors in Contrast, Who’s Who in 1954, and Young and Now. Your feature Sense of Humor is to be praised because it represents Culpeper High School humor and not some jokes culled from other publications. Judge: C.

At that time our four years stretched endlessly before us with promises of hard work and good times along with friendships and high school romances. Now as graduation draws near, we look back and realize, almost regretfully, that our high school days have passed very quickly. As inexperienced and undignified freshmen, we were placed under the able direction of Miss Juliet Gentile, Miss Anna Mae Harris, and Mr. Charles Caldwell who was later replaced by Mrs. Lewis Smith. We were made to feel more at home and important after we learned to change classes, elected Eunice Allen as our president, and were given a picnic by the seniors. Whether by the fact that it rained for our picnic or whether by the war situation, this was the last Senior-Freshmen picnic given. This year the football team, under the newly acquired coach, Mr. Edward Null, was runner-up for the state championship and the commercial course was established in the high school. One year of our high school life already gone, we found ourselves sophomores under the direction of Miss Mary Cunningham and Mr. William Heffernan with Tootie” Trainum as our president. We wondered, as we enviously watched the seniors march in, if we would someday occupy that stately rank and appear as dignified as they. Now our entire lives seemed to take a turn as this was the year of 1941, bringing with it that fated December 7.” Sports seemed to take on an added importance and our football team earned the State Class C Championship. The Student Cooperative Association was founded entirely new in C.H.S. this year. The glee club received the rating of Excellent” in the music festival at Richmond and a motion picture machine and a radio were added to our school’s equipment. Having finally become juniors, we started on another year’s work with Miss Anne Green Porterfield and Miss Anna Mae Harris as our sponsors. After much campaigning and consideration, Bobby Johnson was chosen as our president. What a year! For this was the time when the Pcpcrgram won first place in class C in the Virginia High School Literary and Athletic League’s annual newspaper contest and our C.H.S. repre- sentatives were the national winners in the Kraft Dairy Production Demonstration Contest. The Victory Corps was organized and the juniors were the intramural basket- ball champions of the school. It was during this year that our class gave up its first member, Charles Stringfellow, to the service of the country. On the lighter side of our school life, we gave the seniors that all important Junior-Senior Prom. Suddenly we found ourselves at that senior goal which had seemed so far out of reach. We began our last phase of high school life with Bud” Burton as our president. Due to the size of our class, we were divided into two home rooms with Miss Carrie Gibboney, Miss Mary George Bolen, and Miss Ruth Campbell as our sponsors. Imagine our pride as we now saw the under-classmen enviously watch us march in at assemblies. We began work on our Colonnade with Hilda Inskeep as Editor-in-Chief, and in October we ordered our senior rings. We’ll never forget how proud we were of our senior class play, A Mind of Her Own,” and all the fun connected with it. Along with the happiness, a note of sadness was added to our school life, for we lost two of our classmates, Ernest Curtis, who gave his life for his country and Seldon Mastin who was accidentally killed. As we ordered our caps and gowns, we realized that our C.H.S. days were numbered. We regret that the seventeen members of our class now in the service may not be here at graduation with us, but to them and each one of you we wish a fond Adieu” and a sincere Godspeed.” Millicent Hutcherson Sixteen NOTES FROM A SENIOR’S DIARY August 29 Last day of vacation.

A group of our own who presented “A MIND OF HER OWN” By Anne Ferning Weatherly A Mind of Her Own” was a 3 -act comedy presented by the Senior Class on March 31. The scene of the story was laid at the summer cottage of the Bartletts, situated on the shore of Silver Lake in the Middle West. Emily Smith played the role of an 18- year-old girl who was naive, impressionable, and had an unbounded enthusiasm for inviting guests to the family’s summer home. Romantic interests were supplied mainly by Bunny Bartlett, Emily Smith and Steve Henderson, A shby Burton. Steve was a likeable 20-year-old Texan who was continually trying to discourage Bunny from copying every girl she knew and to out-wit his love rival, Hugh. Tom Edmondson played the part of Hugh Randall who provided much romantic comedy and rivalry. Other characters chosen by the directors, Miss Carrie Gibboney and Miss Ruth Campbell, were Ashby Griffin as Delia Bartlett, the emotional mother who always saw the better side of her children’s mischief. Shelley Hunt portrayed the part of Jim Bartlett, the conservative father, who was frequently upset by Bunny’s business disrupting guests. Lizzie, the Bartlett’s catastrophe-loving maid, was played by Ann Forbes. The mis- chievous and easy going son, Tommie Bartlett, Duff Green, was for the first time inter- ested in girls and he bestowed his admiration upon flirtatious Carol Russel fresh from the big city, played by Jeanne Zeller. Tommie’s sister, Nettie, who was Eunice Allen, caused much m ischief trying to be noticed. The elderly spinster who had taught bird- lore at Silver Lake, Miss Flora Fenwich, was Sallie Ann Curtis. Delphine Lindley, Hazel McDaniel, and Jessica Atwood, Millicent Hutcherson, were two of Bunny’s troublesome guests. Frankie Brown played the part of Mrs. Phelps, a hard working woman who took life very seriously and highly disapproved of the childish pranks of Nettie and Tommie that nearly drove everyone crazy.

For the third time in our lives we were living and going to school in a nation at war, and it did make a difference. We felt a seriousness and responsi- bility in this matter of getting an education. We cut out some of our useless spending and bought Defense Stamps; we took courses in home nurs- ing and nutrition; and we did our part in help- ing to bring closer the day of Victory.

The Victory Corps, a nationwide wartime student organization sponsored in our school by the Student Cooperative Association, has enrolled 165 members in the year 1943-44. The chief aim of this organization is to enroll each member in some worthwhile activity to aid in the war effort. The training of youth for war services after the war is most essential, as well as partici- pation of high school students in the community war effort. It also guides each member in the selection of his life work. Aside from the General Division, which is sponsored by Miss Virginia Lewis, there are five other divi- sions. They are: the Air Division, which represents the Air Corps and is sponsored by Mr. Howard Newlon; the Sea Division, which corresponds with the Navy and which has as its sponsor Miss Ruth Campbell; the Land Division which is similar to the Army, and its sponsor is Mr. Carter White; the Community Division whose sponsor is Miss Gertrude Lewis; and the Production Division, which Mr. R. R. Tolbert sponsors. The various divisions included have set up the following community activities: 1. To increase the sale of bonds and stamps. 2. To assist in community activities such as rationing and Red Cross work. 3. To aid in salvage drives. 4. To participate in actual farm labor and food conservation programs. 5. To study qualifications for admission into the various branches of the armed forces and the oppor- tunities afforded by them.

Participating 100%, members of the Library Club have served as desk assistants each activity period. Under the direction of the president, Ellen Bragg, and the secretary, Margaret Eggborn, the schedule of the desk assistants was made for the year. Each week a member was appointed to put the flag out in the morning and take it in at the close of school. The plant committee with Katherine Jones, as chairman, was very successful in selling pansy plants, the sales netting over $5 0. Thirty-seven books for the library were bought with the money raised last year. Kate Willis had charge of the annual book review program. Mary Marshall Gilmore, Ida Smith, and Margaret Jones also served on the program. The meetings have been held regularly at activity period on the third Thursday of each month to plan the club’s activities. Club members have enjoyed participation in several planned programs at the regular meetings. President Vice-President Secrctary-T reasurer Reporter . .

We looked forward to Christmas when those voices filled our hearts with a spirit of peace on earth, good will to men . . .” After many school programs, spring brought us more music and at length, to the strains of God of Our Fathers,” we now realize that the song is ended for another year.

Hilda Inskeep missing from picture. The purpose of the Student Cooperative Association is to give every student a voice in the government of the school. Every student in the high school is a member of the S.C.A. but only the president of each organization, a representative from each home room, and the president of the senior class constitute the Council of the association. The organization has two sponsors, one appointed by the principal and one elected by the Council. Among this year’s activities were the presentations of the School’s-At-War Flag, a national citation for the attainment of the goal set for the Triple Threat Campaign, and a bound copy of the S.C.A. Constitution to the school. Various other functions during the year have been the sale of $20,000 worth of bonds and stamps, the sponsorship of three dances for the students, a bond rally, a clean-up campaign, and several assembly programs. The organization has endeavored to further all war time activities in the school.

Starting with tryouts on November 29, the club presented five one-act plays, and on April 24, Cross My Heart,” a comedy in three acts, which was a howling success. Four of the one-act plays were student produced and student directed, giving the members a chance to develop their dramatic ability. The club also sponsored a play-writing contest and presented the winning play on February 16. This year’s Dramatic Club was one of the largest and most energetic Culpeper High School has ever known.

One of the more important and successful projects of the club is the adoption of an unfortunate child. The club provides for this child the necessary clothing, medical care, and school entertainment. Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets are sent to the family. An honesty campaign and a Bible study course in which prominent citizens of Culpeper speak to the students are sponsored by the club. Once a month the members attend church in a body. The outstanding social functions of the year are the Hi-Y Party to which the high school is invited and the Mother-Daughter Tea given by the members for their mothers.

Forty-jive WHO’S WHO— 1954 It was a sunny day in June, 19 54, that I was making a cross-country hop in my moto-plane,” when I decided to stop for a few minutes rest. I sighted the municipal airport and landed. Not having any idea what town I was in, (I never paid any attention to those complicated air maps) I went up into the heart of the city. Glancing at my watch, I allowed myself an hour in this strange town as I wasn’t due in Los Angeles until 8:00 p.m. This was to be my fifth in a series of lectures at the University on How To Solve Math Problems.” I ambled up the boulevard and came to about the largest building I had ever seen. What could it be? My adventurous nature caused me to want to explore; thus up the marble steps I marched. Upon reaching the doors, I saw a huge plaque which read, The Universal Library.” I went in and found myself surrounded by books of all kinds, colors, and descriptions, one of which espe- cially caught my eye. Taking it from the shelf, I read the title, Who’s Who — 1954.” Settling into a comfortable chair, I began to thumb through the pages. Familiar names stared back at me as I really became interested in this volume of forgotten lore. Here was one that sounded very familiar: John Henry Boldridge; and here was another, Ashby Jeffries Burton; and still another, Clarence Jackson Compton. Why, of course, these boys had been my classmates! There should be records of other of my school friends. I searched eagerly for more names. What were these friends of mine doing now? John Boldridge had become a producer for C.H.S. Films. He made the most famous movie of all times, Worst Hand Backward.” Ashby Burton was a famous business man, owner of the Big Theatre Company. He had a theater in every important town. Jack Compton, I found, was a band leader in South America. The populace there was quite pleased with Jack’s Band.” Reading further, I saw that Jack Dempsey was coach of the Pink Angels” and that Jimmy Hoff- man was star half-back. Yes, here was Shelley Hunt’s name. I knew about him — who didn’t? As he was America’s No. 1 screen hero, it was hardly possible to keep his fame down. Floyd Jenkins was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Floyd had done well enough for himself. And Robert Jenkins was not so far behind, as head of the Agriculture Department. J. L. Kilby was president of the First Federal Bank of Culpeper. So, J. L. hadn’t left the old home town. Warren Rollins became president of the Healthy Grocery Company, a chain of grocery stores, and Winnie White was a clothier in New York. These were all of the familiar names in that section, and gazing through the pages, I found names of many girls with whom I had gone to school. Betty Allen, I saw, had taken a job as a tourist guide in Europe. I had always wanted to go to Europe! And Eunice Allen was doing Red Cross work. Didn’t I hear that she was in Russia? Sally Armstrong was a hat designer. Oh, yes, I had seen several copies of her hats in a downtown shop. Well, look who published this Who’s Who,” none other than Ellen Bragg, publisher and author. Frankie Brown embarked upon a law career. Of course! I heard Frankie plead in the trial which the newspapers titled, The Theft of the Lost Chord.” Margrette Brown was out in California doing research work in the flower and vegetable fields. I had heard that she was almost a second Luther Burbank. Mildred Brown, now Mrs. Joe Gimbel, was the mother of the Question Brat who stumped all the experts in every field of learning. Frances Bunch became the head of the Bunch Coffee Tree Business. Good coffee, too. What could her sister, Minerva, be doing? I happened to glance up and there she was: head librarian of Universal Library. Well, I must see if I could find her. Putting my book down, I found my way to the office and to Minerva. We discussed old times for a while — until her work called her attention. Then I went back to my mem- ories and my classmates. Mildred Butler invented that radio-pin that you can wear on your coat and have music wherever you 8 ° ' I had often heard of the famous Clarke Models, but I didn’t know that my former classmate was the originator of the agency. I must look in on Lillian sometimes. There was no need to read the information by the name, Sallie Ann Curtis, for I knew her to be our first woman president. Frances Gimbel had held the position of Chief Justice in the Supreme Court. She had a sister, too, didn’t she? Norella, yes. Let’s see: Norella Gimbel, director of the Glassware Works in Tu Ling, China. My, my, the seniors of ’44 really have scattered themselves over the earth. Forty-six And speaking of being scattered over the earth, here was one who really covered a lot of this globe, Lillian Green, now a pilot for American Air Lines. The name before me at present, has often appeared in the sports headlines, Ashby Griffin, jockey from the Griffinsburg Stables. President of the B. and J. Railroad Company was Caroline Hawkins, the only woman ever to be a railroad president on that line. I saw in the paper, last week, that Caroline had put in all women engi- neers and brakemen. Well, this is a woman’s world, anyhow. And here was a very nice one, Hester Hawkins. Home Economics Director at Cornell University. Some of her pupils had become very famous designers. I had run across Annie Hitt in Miller and Rhoades, San Francisco Branch, last month. She has become chief buyer for the entire southwestern area. Oh, here was one of my classmates who was in a field in which I am very much interested. Millicent Hutcherson, better known as Madame Claire, first sopralto in the Village Opera Group. Doctor Hilda Inskeep, head of the Boom-Bang Chemical Works, has done great work for mankind. She has invented a pill that will cure a disease that hasn’t been discovered yet. Jean Lucas, I found was dean of Woman’s School at Culpeper. Yes, that is a large girls school. Dorothy Martin was now the wife of the diplomat to the North Pole. She has been quoted as saying, The people at the North Pole are so warm-hearted.” Hazel McDaniel was elected Speaker of the House. She holds the world’s record for filibustering. She talked for forty-eight hours on one occasion. On another page I found a name that neither I nor the public has forgotten through all these years, Peggie McVeigh, now woman columnist on the New York Times. I believe her column is called, What’s Cooking?” Mary Moore has made her fame in the bird world. She has established a farm on which she raises love birds, I mean the feathered kind. Sally Moore, the only seven star general, was now in the WACS. Well, well, here’s a secret that all America is puzzled over, the identity of the Croon and Swoon Girl.” She’s none other than Nona Myers, a former classmate of mine. She is singing with Jack’s Band,” the papers say. Farmerette Elva Ney has really begun working now. She produces more food and feed than all the federal granaries can hold. Dorothy O’Bannon, that quick stenographer, has obtained a fine job. Yes, she is President Curtis’s personal secretary. Missionary Evelyn Payne is on furlough from her work among the Hijas in the mountains of South America. Lucy Perryman owns the Fifth Avenue Department Store. That is one store in which you can find everything, and I do mean everything! Barbara Rosson dances in the Bird House Cafe in Hollywood. Barbara’s latest dance specialty is called the Bird Hop Polka.” The owner of that famous restaurant, Mae Rumsey, is widely known for her Mexican dishes. Devolia Rumsey has become the best woman driver of modern times. In her ancient car, she has made the world’s record for wrecks, only 201. Bessie Settle writes all those peppy songs you have been singing lately. Her latest is Topsy Floats.” Gladys Settle now holds the position of main clerk in the Fifth Avenue Department Store. That is where the lovely television star, Connie Singers, gets those stunning gowns. Correspondent Emily Smith is really making news. She is in the heart of the African jungle at present. Janet Viar has set the navigation record with her ship, The Boat.” She sailed around the world four times in three days. Some sailing, I’d say. Of course you’ll remember the girl who had such a love for cats when I tell you that Dorothy Webb has the largest cat farm in this country. Its population has not yet been determined. Dorothy Yancey has accepted a position as commercial teacher at Culpeper High School. So, one of the old class stayed at school? I would love to go back there again. Lillian Yowell, I found, is now the manager of the Make It Plant. And here is our Florence Nightingale, Jeanne Zeller. She has done almost as much to improve nursing as Florence Nightingale did. Oh, my watch says I’ve over stayed my hour! I must have forgotten to set the electric alarm. I’ve got to hurry if I am to reach California in time for my lecture. Why don’t you look among the volumes of forgotten lore sometimes — it’s fun!

(No, they didn’t fail; they chose to take a five year course.) Lillian Green Ashby Burton Jeanne Zeller Torty-nine To Prove We Have a Sense of Humor Ever hear of morons? If you haven’t, they’re the people that everyone makes up jokes about. That’s what they call you when you haven’t proven yourself any too brilliant (but you knew that you weren’t that bad.) Ever see a moron? Maybe you haven’t, but here are just a few incidents to prove that we do have a few around our school. A very hasty notice was sent one morning by the president of the Girls’ Hi-Y. This is the way it read: The third in the series of Bible studies will be held at activity period for anyone wishing to attend. The speaker will be Joseph and Moses, and the topic, Reverend James D. Beckwith.” (Joseph and Moses didn’t appear but Mr. Beckwith did give a talk about them). Then there’s the one about Peggie McVeigh in Math IV class. At the last moment, Miss Campbell changed her plans for a scheduled written lesson. Of course, this an- nouncement couldn’t pass without a word from Peggie. Instead of using the old expression, I’ll dance at your wedding,” she said, Oh, Miss Campbell, I’ll dance at your funeral!” (As Miss Campbell is used to such remarks from Peggie, all was understood and forgiven.) It seems everything happens to Miss Campbell. The photographer was just about ready to snap a club’s picture. Silence prevailed. Suddenly Miss Campbell was heard to exclaim, Goodness, I didn’t have time to fix my hair before coming out. Wonder what it looks like?” Eunice Allen turned to her and said in a very consoling voice, Oh, that’s all right, Miss Campbell. Mine’s a mess, too.” (Their hair really looked all right in spite of this.) Everyone isn’t as familiar with Lillian Green’s wi se cracks” as they are with those of her brother, Duff. One particular rainy day when Miss Miller’s physical education class was having a discussion indoors on Poise,” Lillian said something which caused an uproar from the class. Using examples to explain her topic, Miss Miller told how interesting she thought it was to sit in assemblies and watch the actions of different students. She said some would talk, some would kick the seat in front of them, and others would bite their fingernails or twist their handkerchiefs. At this explanation Lillian asked, Well, Miss Miller, if you watch all of that you don’t pay much attention to the assembly program, do you?” (The only answer was a burst of laughter from the class, and may it be added that Miss Miller’s face was red.) Fifty We Worked to Bring Victory Training obtained in commercial classes will fit students for a place in the business world. Doing one’s work well was a patriotic duty.
