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.
