THE 1947 COLONNADE Published by THE SENIOR CLASS of Culpeper Hi h School CULPEPER, VIRGINIA Peggy Blankenbarer Editor-in-Chief Nolie Towsey Business Manager Foreword - - - Teen-Agers” are a part of the pattern of life in this period of time. Should some one in years to come, seek an authentic picture of the way of life of a 1947 Teen-Ager” in an average high school, we hope that the pages of the 1947 Colonnade will satisfy that demand. We have tried to present a clear picture of, not only the gay and carefree moments, but also those of grave and solemn significance in the life of the students, the Teen-Agers,” of Culpeper High School.

Without their guidance, untiring efforts, and last- ing patience our hopes of the future would have been in vain, and our talents would not have been unfolded.

Each year as we passed from freshmen to sophomores, from juniors to seniors, the Colonnade has listed our membership. We now look back on the three years at C.H.S. that we completed and see familiar faces that are no longer with us. In the future, when we open the pages of the ’47 Colon- nade, we will remember the fun we shared and the goals we worked so hard to achieve, for the memories of these happy days will never leave us. . «! £enioA Qtad.3 O iceAd Mh. Floyd T. Binns Mende Lerner S ponsor Treasurer Kennon Eller Secretary Cary Humphries President Missing from picture: Charles Thomas, Vice-President Seniors at last! What a wonderful feeling, but how much the class had to ac- complish, this being their last year as high school teen-agers. The Senior Class resided in home rooms 1 and 2 with Mrs. Maude Witt and Mr. Floyd T. Binns as their teachers, the latter serving the regal class as sponsor. Amid unintelligible jive talk and serious discussion, the officers were elected at the first meeting in form of Cary Humphries, president; Charles Thomas, vice-president; Ken- non Eller, secretary; and Mende Lerner, treasurer. A dignified member of the class ' 47, one Geraldine Jones, was chosen hv the school as Football Queen, and she reigned in glory at the Monogram Club dance on December 13. Other seniors had made great names for themselves at C. H. S. by their outstanding playing on the football team as the ’4(1 season ended. I U ... . The class worked in close cooperation in order to publish their senior yearbook, “The Colonnade.” While they were slaving over features, ads, and subscriptions, it was necessary to begin work on the annual production of the senior play. Directed by Mrs. Witt, they gave “ Young April,” which was acclaimed by all as a great success. Thus the year passed; one activity after another until graduation lay before them and the senior year was completed.

Miss Virginia Lewis, and with the cooperation of the two other junior home room teachers, Miss Gertrude Lewis and Miss Laura Thornhill. The first of the activities was the contest for the Football Queen. The students selected the queen from a list of four girls nominated by the juniors and seniors. Any high school student was eligible to cast as many votes as he desired by paying one penny for each vote. A senior, Geraldine Jones, was crowned queen at the Mono- gram Club Dance. For the purpose of bringing real music to the community, and also for the pur- pose of raising funds, the class of ’48 brought Leona Flood, noted violinist, to Cul- peper. Miss Flood played in the high school auditorium on February 6. Still in need of funds, the Junior Class sponsored a benefit movie on January 28 and 29, and a minstrel on February 21. Directed by Eleanor Kivett, the minstrel, “Dancing Moonbeams,” gave dramatic experience to about twenty juniors and swelled the junior treasury. Finally came April 25, the date set for the prom. A banquet, enjoyed by every- one, was held before the dance. The hall was decorated in pink and white and was lighted by candles. The municipal hall was beautifully decorated for the dance. The theme, “Moonlight and Roses” was used with lattice on the windows and posts en- t wined with pink roses. The ceiling was draped with pink and white, making the long awaited prom a very festive occasion. Finally came Commencement Day, when the juniors’ dream of becoming dignified seniors became a reality. 4 17 F fyunioJii Hollie Amos Gloria Arrington Jack Atkinson Eleanor Baber Ellen Baber Nancy Bache Jack Barber Hazel Beahm William Bennett Joan Bentley Jack Blankenbaker Virginia Bowen Billy Brown Johnny Brown Stanley Brown Helen Broyles Garnett Carpenter Buddy Catron Billy Cook Frances Corbin Hazel Cunningham Gloria Curtis Myrl Davis Eddie Dinkel Violet Dowdey Ollie Edwards Elizabeth Edmondson Louise Frazier Sara Gardner Herbert Garr Laura Geil Vivian Gore Douglas Grady June Haught Ollie Hawkins Marshall Haynes Thomas Hensley Beulah Hilton Jane Hilton Nancy Hounshell Lueyle Humphries Betty Hurt Grace Inskeep Barbara James Julian James Mildred James Henry Jenkins Rachel Jenkins Edward Johnson Pat Johnson Mary Lou Jolliffe Elsie Jones Everette Kelley Eleanor Kivett Leroy Leavell Katherine Lewis Kenneth Maddox Reva Miller Bill Mitchell Rachel Painter uruoAi 1 19 ! v-nioM Inez Palmer Harold Paul Earl Peyton Jim Queen Mary Quinn Joan Reel Barbara Rosenberger Thomas Rosenberger Jimmy Ross Cecil Ryder Gene Sanford Goldie Schlosser Virginia Settle Doris Jean Sisk Louise Smith Melvin Spicer Kathleen Swan Hilda Taylor Ann Thompson Lucy Willis Thornhill David Thurston Betty Ray Turner Norma Jean Utz Alieze Weaver Teddy Willcox Kitty Williams Bill Willson Jean Woodville Bernard Wrenn Gertrude Yowell Lee Yowell Not pictured: Frank Brown, Stanley Isner -{ 20 K StapPiamoJie (UtaiA O fticeAA Mrs. John A. B. Davies Mary Hurt Sponsor Treasurer Thelma Willoughby Secretary Jean Pierce Vice-President Betty Lou Burke President The Sophomore Glass had the distinction of being the largest class in high school. They were divided among three home rooms under the care of Miss Mary Cary Addi- son, Mrs. John A. B. Davies, and Mrs. Russell Inskeep. Each room vied with the other and with other home rooms in the high school to make the greatest improvement in their school home. Walls were painted, windows washed, and everything in the room kept in order. Mrs. Davies’ room won second place in the room improvement contest put on by the Clean-Up Committee of the S. C. A. early in the fall. Class members contributed liberally to the Red Cross, the T. B. bangle sale, the U. S. O. fund, and the March of Dimes. They also collected newspapers and magazines for the P.-T. A. scrap paper. In the magazine selling contest, Mrs. Davies’ room won a radio and phonograph combination for selling the largest number of subscriptions of all the rooms in school, passing the $156 goal by a margin of $64. Members of the class joined the various school activities. For the first time sopho- mores were invited to join the Dramatic Club, and a number availed themselves of this opportunity. Led by the cheer leaders, two of whom had been elected from their own ranks, Betty Lou Burke and Loraine Pote, the class attended football games and gave the team their support. In the campaign for Pepergram subscriptions, Mrs. Davies’ room was the first to report 100 percent subscribing. Another sophomore room, Mrs. Inskeep’s, only a few minutes later announced that they had reached the 100 per cent mark. 4 21 p ytojifiatno-kei William Amos Virginia Arnold Jack Bache Winfrey Barfield Edward Bentley J.

OjieAhman, G£aM Miss Edna P. Reed Ann Brown Sponsor Treasurer Frances Jenkins Secret ary Levi Brown Vice-President Frank Hensley President A rather unique feature of the Freshman Class this year was that it consisted of only one home room containing 37 students. They claimed room number 9 as their school home and Miss Edna Reed both as sponsor and home room teacher. The class was organized early in the year with Frank Hensley chosen to serve as president. The activities of the class have been varied, including the packing of a Junior Red Cross box under the direction of Mildred Hawkins, the room representative, and the painting of the walls of the home room under the supervision of Levi Brown and Billy Hawkins. The interests of the freshmen seemed to lie mainly in vocational fields with large representations in the F. F. A. and Home Fc. clubs. The class has been ably repre- sented on various school committees and activities by the following: Bond and Stamp Committee, Ann Brown; Clean-Up Committee, Buddy Fant; Health Committee, Maude Perryman; Safety Committee, Campbell Hitt; May Court, Ann Brown; and Junior Var- sity Football Squad, Frank Hensley. i 25 1 - O’Az.kh.tnen Ruth Allen Russell E.

A 2fi ! EiqM Shade, Mrs. J. W. Ross Kathleen Button Sponsor Treasurer Mary Rogers Button Secretary Frances Wright Kelly Vice-President Bayne Bentley President Eighth grade members, enrolled in four home rooms under Miss Emily Carper, Miss Jean De Shazo, Miss Martha Millard, and Mrs. J. W. Ross, and with Mrs. Ross as coordinator, have participated as groups and individuals in many activities. At the opening of the football season try-outs were held to select a group of junior cheer leaders from the eighth grade. Successful candidates for the job of official noise makers for the Junior Varsitv football team were: Frances Wright Kelly, leader, Lois Deal, Louise Brown, Jacquelyn Kilby, Anne Graves, Douglas Noakes, and Vernon Shaf- fer. During the fall, the S. C. A. Clean-Up Committee sponsored a Clean-Up Campaign in the entire school. The October prize for the cleanest home room was won by Mrs. Ross’ grouj) while the winner for November was none other than Miss Carper’s room. Does the eighth grade know its mops, brooms, and dustpans! Have you seen or heard the Philco radio in room 13? This was their reward for selling over the assigned quota of magazines. Roth the business and editorial staff of the Peperyram drew several eighth grad- ers. Six hoys were members of the Junior Varsity basketball squad. Two organiza- tions which drew their entire membership from the eighth grade were the Eighth Grade Chorus and the Junior Dramatic Club, both organizations providing training from membership in the senior organizations. Jacquelyn Kilby’s story, “A Christmas Sacrifice,” appeared in the December issue of the Peperyram, as did Ann Herndon’s poem, “A Christmas Jingle.” 1 27 1- EJUjJhth 9Aade Ruth Baber Sally Ann Barber Margaret Bennett Thelma Bennett Bayne Bentley William Bledsoe Eleanor Brown Erna Brown Laura M.

To help us to do this we have put in our yearbook this group of senior features which represent our past, our present, and, in a humorous way, our future. We hope that some day as we look back that this book will restore to us the memories of the happiest days of our life, the days when we were teen-agers.” y,o-u Ytemem eA You remember back in 15)43 the freshman intelligentsia met and Oliver Kilby was unanimously elected president, an honor only one person could hold at a time. The shepherds who guarded the small herd of bewildered adolescents were the Lewis sisters and one Josephine Miller. Everything was awfully new and obscure to us, and we fell into the mode of higher learning with all the gusto and confusion that was to be expected. As you know, there was the lighter side, football, clubs, dances, and such. We had one of the best football teams in Culpeper County that year, losing eight games in the same number of attempts. But. where there’s a will there’s a way. We had the will hut no way. Dances were few and far between hut enough fun was consumed at each to last from one party to the next. And, of course, you won’t forget that first summer. You remember when we got hack to Ann Wingfield, everyone had undergone a complete metamorphosis. The boys were shaving from one to six times a day; whereas the opposite sex seemed to worry only about their outward appearance. Our existence was being recognized for the first time. We were individuals now, each with his own ambition and separate goal. As faculty advisors for the semester, we won in the stu- dent lottery. Miss Mary Frances Sours and Miss Mary George Bolen. As quarterback we chose John Henry Brown, who held the same position on the football team, hut with much more efficiency. You remember after exactly ninety-six days of fun. frolic, and hilarity, operations were resumed. The Grand Pasha this year was destined to he Anne McMullan. As an At- torney General, Professor Howard Newlon, Sr., of hammer and saw fame, advised Miss McMullan. Here we were on the verge of mental maturity; the excitement of class rings and the prom was unbearable. So that our prom could he a huge success, we spon- sored an amateur night. This provided entertainment for all hut the amateurs. And no one will ever forget the banquet or prom. We thought if those seniors didn’t stop eating we’d have to sponsor another amateur show. You remember when we finally reached the last lap, everyone was so excited and happy, except a few introverts who were aroused by nothing. The clan united and Cary Humphries drew the longest straw, entitling him to the rank of president, or the president of the rank. The Colonnade staff immediately swung into action, with Peggy Blankenbaker as editor. Invitations and caps and gowns were ordered after much controversy and measurement. The Junior-Senior Prom and the Senior Play rounded off the program nicely. En- joying all the senior privileges and activities to the utmost of our ability, we found ourselves confronted with the last major step, graduation. As a nine-piece symphony orchestra of Culpeper High School undergraduates hanged out the last strains of “Pomp and Circumstance,” we marched, with hitter re- luctance, down the halls of Ann Wingfield for the last recessional. There was a lump in everyone’s throat and tears welling everyone’s drooping eyelids, as all present re- called the burning words of Hannibal as he stood on the burning deck, “Graduation is only the beginning.” 4 32 y “ O ejn- Jtye,” Ba tat 13-aec C lass Clowns 0 Joyce Harlow 0 Mende Lerner Best Looking 0 Gerry Jones 0 Cary Humphries Most Likely to Succeed 0 Joanne Bailey 0 Pete Bragg Best All Around 0 Peggy Blankenbaker 0 Hollie Lee Sisk Biggest Wolves 0 Doris Domazet 0 Stanley Frazier Most Dignified 0 Betty Lee Curtis 0 Charles Thomas Most Studious 0 Peggy Blankenbaker 0 Harry Dulaney 0 0 Most Athletic Pete Bledsoe Hollie Lee Sisk 0 0 Most Popular 0 Cary Humphries 0 Kennon Eller Best Dancers Kennon Eller Mac Moore Friendliest Gerry Jones Chic Brown Best Dressed Joanne Bailey Marshall Gayheart J 33 f Reutg, o-$ iP,cnmd Mind In order that we shall not he forgotten, we, the Senior Class of ’47, finding our- selves at the end of four years of work and fun, believe it is only fair to leave behind for the underclassmen, the better known traits of our regal Senior Class. Eileen Baylev bequeaths her popularity with the short boys of C. H. S. and S. M. A. to Joan Bentley. John Flannery wills his shy manner and reserve with the fairer sex to Pat Johnson. Elaine Brown leaves her ability for getting in and out of trouble to Kitty Williams. Charles Thomas willingly relinquishes his blushes to anyone who will accept them. To Jack Atkinson, Charlton Schilling’s expert technique- with the camera. Peggy Blankenbaker bequeaths her uninquisitive nature to Inez Palmer. Pete Bragg’s vim, vigor, and vitality is left to Howard Newlon, Jr., who could use some of the same. Doris Domaizet bequeaths her non-interest in boys to Eleanor Kivett.

Stanley Frazier’s ever ready laugh is willed to Betty Lou Burke. Charles Brown and Mende Lerner leave behind their unusual supply of witticisms to Bill Willson. To Harriet Witt, Margaret Yeager bequeaths her letters from distant places, hut we sadly note that Hopewell is not included. That southern drawl belonging to Tommy Broyles is cheerfully donated to any Yankee desiring one of the same.

Tommy Preston. To Carolyn Orange, June Payne leaves her mass of girlish curls.

We remain your faithful scribes, M. L. M. K. E. 35 V UiqMiqJhJU a-fi. 1946 ’n 1947 “Hi there!” It was August 29th and all C. H. S. students were back at the old grind, and could va imagine? “WE’RE SENIORS!!!” What with only two days in August, September had arrived and for most students, school had officially begun. On the 6th day of this month, the S. C. A. officers took their oaths. “Good luck, Pete.” Then from amid the bright lights of Broadway, the Barter Theater honored us by its superb performance of “State of the Union.” “SSSSSSsssssssssss boom!!!” On a brand new field under glaring flood lights and amidst a steady downpour of rain, the Culpeper football season was launched in a sea of mud. However, most of the drenched C. H. S. spectators recovered sufficiently to really “paint the town red, come October 30th. Halloween, “Nelly” (nearly) got us ! ! ! Every Friday night there was usually a game scheduled. Football, football, and more football throughout which the courage, spirit, and determination of our famed “Blue Devils,” was never broken, even though vertebraes were in and out of place, mostly out. As is customary, November followed October. Our innocent, little librarians cer- tainly knew how to handle themselves in any situation, especially in their authentic performance of “Bargains in Cathay.” The S. C. A. ' s presentation of “The Little That is Good” showed the spirit of American youth. “Caution -all healthy turkeys he on the alert.” It was Thanksgiving and we students certainly hoped there was enough pepto-bismol to go around. “HEY!!! Did everyone have a happy holiday?” Lights, camera, action ! Play practice, Glee Club practices, play practices. Monoto- nous wasn’t it? Or was it??? The Dramatists presented on December 6th a three act play, “Ramshackle Inn.” It definitely was a new type of plot which had never been attempted before. The critics said, “Different — but good.” On December 19th the Glee Club presented its cantata entitled “The Story of Christmas.” Mistletoe, holly, snow, and soft strains of carols filling the cold winter air all go into the making of a wonderful Christmas. Yes, at last this festive occasion had ar- rived and for a whole seventeen days we were free from studies, and talk about celebrating, WOW ! ! ! But all good things come to an end and January 6, we were back at school facing a critical crisis — EXAMS!!! Besides our facing the gruesome aspects of these trifles, the yearbook workers were tearing their hair. They would have looked cute going around school minus that attractive appendage of the skin, wouldn’t they?? “By the way, fellows, why all the coats ’n ties?” You might have known it Colonnade pictures were made. In the next two months highlights such as the Hi-Y Cotillion, Pepergram sock- hop, Dramatic Club dance, basketball, assemblies. Junior Class Minstrel, and the per- formance of Leona Flood, famed violinist, kept C. H. S. students busy. April 25 was next on the agenda and brought the Junior-Senior banquet and prom, the time when romance was in the air and everyone was vaguely aware of being in heaven on earth. We no sooner emerged from this super event than we were plunged into another. It ' s Class Day and Colonnades are out, and before we realize it June 3d will be here bringing with it graduation. The familiar strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” will fill the hallowed halls of Culpeper High School as we seniors walk sedately down the aisle for the last time to receive our diplomas. We sincerely hope that you underclassmen will gain as much from your work and play as we did in high school. N. N. T. E. O. B. T36 y «3em OxyjxpeAt We, the Seniors of C. H. S., chose these members of our class as our “Teen Toppers.” The faculty recommended students who had qualifies of outstanding leadership and superior scholastic ability. Here we present our choice. As President of the Girls’ Hi-Y and Assistant Editor both of the Colonnade and Pepergram, Joanne Bailey is kept very busy; hut she still gives her excellent qualities to the various clubs. She is Vice- President of the Library Club, Secretary of S. C. A. Council and a member of the Glee Club and Quill and Scroll Society. Not only is she admired for her efficient club work, but also for her friendliness and high ideals. By an unofficial poll, she was voted the most representative girl in the Senior Class. Besides being an active member of the Glee Club, Peggy Blankenbaker is Editor-in-Chief of the Colonnade. She is a busy girl because she is also a member of the Dramatic Club, Quill and Scroll, Library Club, S. C. A. Council, and holds the position of Treasurer in the Girls’ Hi-Y. Belong- ing to these various clubs in no way hinders Peggy in her regular studies as she is an “A” student. Her willingness to accept responsibilities and her loyalty to her amigos are qualities that have helped to make her one of the most outstanding members of the Senior Class. Caleb Bragg, better-known as Pete, is the high officeholder in high school. He is President of the S. C. A. Taking an active part in the Dramatic Club, Library Club, and Quill and Scroll helps to make Pete a busy boy. Under this “little hoy’s” supervision, as Advertising Manager, the Colonnade sold more ads than ever before. Pete is a typical senior- conscientious, helpful, and reliable and at the same time always smiling and fun-loving. From these qualities he is assured a successful life. Virginia Kennon Eller is our outstanding Pepergram artist. She lends some of her talents to the Colonnade Staff as a feature writer, and she is in the Glee Club and on the S. C. A. Council. She energetically directed the Junior Bed Cross for the past year. Kennon’s charming personality with her ready smile and warm greetings for everyo ne has made her very popular with the entire student body. i 37 y “Ox Re oa Ylal to R.e” As I was merrily shoveling coal into the hungry mouths of the furnaces, I backed into a pitchfork. The exclamation involuntarily uttered reminded me of Roland Clement and his colorful language. That took me back, of course, to my days on earth when I was just a school kid. I began to reminisce more and more about those days and the teen-agers I knew until I decided to return to earth to see just how they had turned out. Anxious to go but afraid of what condition I would find the world in, I went to Scratch with my request. He was in a pleasant mood and I always have been one of his favorites, even if I must say it myself, so he granted permission, handing me a “corridor pass.” I began my long journey to earth by crossing the river Styx. At last my feet touched the cool green earth. Looking upward, I recognized Elaine Brown; she had dropped her harp and was flying low to retrieve it. After a moment of friendly talk and exchange of gossip, I told her why I was there. She considered it a good idea and decided to join me, so after adjusting her halo by means of a hand mirror and handing me her harp to carry (it did look a little out of place) we started off. We journeyed across the valley until at last we came to a neat little farmhouse nestled in the foothills. Because there was a familiar atmosphei’e about the place, we stopped. Who should be stand- ing on the porch but Katherine Jones, evidently the County Home Demonstration Agent. She had just completed a demonstration of a new chemical cooker, (one drop in the food and it’s cooked), invented by Dr. Robert Bruce, one of the foremost scientists of the world. This charming little place, however, belonged to none other than Hazel Childress and Betty Jacobs, who had made their fortunes by their advanced methods of chicken-farming. The entire chicken indus- try was revolutionized by these two brilliant minds. Their closest neighbor was Thompson Claxton, who, we found, had been voted “the outstanding horticulturist” of the century for his magnificent work in combining the beet and the cabbage, thereby creating the beetage. A little further on was another neighbor, Dallas Christensen, a prosperous dairy farmer. We found Dallas in his barn, talking to his prize cow, Penelope; the walls of her stall were covered with blue ribbons. They both seemed very contented. With much reluctance, we left the rural district and entered the great metropolis of Lernersburg, named for its present mayor, Mende Lerner. Mende had made quite a name for himself in politics. He even talked the town into abolishing the stop-lights. We noticed in particular a large white building on the corner. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the John McDevitt Dog, Cat, and What-have-you Hospital; founder and head surgeon, John McDevitt; head nurses, Eloise Roberts and Mary Embrey w r ho were busily giving artificial respiration to a chicken with the croup. Across the street from the hospital (a perfect location!) we found “Partlow’s Pool Parlor.” I stopped in to see if Banny was doing a good business. While I was there, Professor Jack Fincham, a math teacher at the local university, stopped in. He was looking for one of his fellow teachers, the debonair Roland Clement. He was there all right. Elaine was standing in front of Marshall Gay heart, Jr.’s Drug Store. Marshall, a doctor, had his office above his store. Elaine did not stop in as there was some hard feeling between the two. You see it was due to one of Marshall’s prescriptions that she no longer graced the earth with hei presence. Our next stop was at the Bayley Academy. Eileen had made quite a sum with her private school. Her specialty was teaching Northerners to speak with a Southern accent. Miss Bayley’s best English teacher turned out to be Anne McMullan, who had been with Bayley’s Academy for years. Need I say any more. We also dropped in on Virginia Morris and Nolie Towsey, two eminent psychiatrists. They seemed obsessed by their work. The last time I say Nolie she was struggling with a patient whose name I think was Little Nell. Barbara Stultz, a great literary critic and writer, was being followed down the street by her many admirers. Her first book, “How to Play Black Jack and Win,” was an immediate success. We were not astonished to note that Cary Humphries was president — not of the United States, but of the United Nations. Vice President of the United Nations and Cary’s right-hand man was Harry Dulaney. Both looked very distinguished riding along in their Cadillac convertible with the top down. They were on an extensive tour of the United States. The noise of a crowd gone mad reached our ears so we knowingly walked towards the source which was the Mixing Bowl, the Lernersburg football stadium for unadulterated professionals. A great game was going on. It was the Lernersburg Hyenas versus the Unionville Tigers. The score was 21-0 in favor of the Hyenas. This score was due to the efforts of that great football star, Pete Bragg. Players on the Hyenas, including John Flannery, Kelly Peyton, Holly Lee Sisk, and Robert Barfield, were powerless before the mighty Bragg, in whose hands the ball rested almost continuously. ■f 38 y Mac Moore had a very interesting- column in the daily paper, “How Government Affairs Should Be Run.” He also had a radio program entitled “I Speak.” On this program, Miss Joanne Bailey, presi- dent of “Goitsy Toitsy Soap Products, Inc.,” is his sponsor. Miss Peggy Blankenbaker also had a column, hers entitled “Away From Home Counsel” specializes in advice to the love-lorn. Miss Kennon Eller, we found, was Arts Editor of Esquire Magazine. She had achieved world-wide fame for her Eller Girls. We were more than surprised to find Tommy Broyles, manager of his own hotel, Monticello. Nancy Brown was receptionist there. She added much to the prestige of the hotel by writing a book on etiquette entitled “Don’t Pick Up That Fork.” Picking up the sports page of a newspaper, we saw that Woman’s Champion Wrestler, Annie Laurie Estes, was overpowered by a contestant in the Olympic Games. This contestant was Miss Dorothy Hitt. Miss Estes stated that now she would take up designing and retire to a relatively in- active life. Also on the sports page were pictures of the “terrible trio” of baseball, Dorothy Bledsoe, Margaret Tharp, and Doris Myers. They also were resigning but to take up music. All want to become ac- complished pianists. On the corner of Main St. we saw the dignified, influential Joyce Harlow, and found her to be president of the Woman’s Prohibition Society. Miss Harlow has been working for years to have the country dry again. As of yet she hasn’t succeeded. A little bit farther down the street we saw a crowd of women gathered around a store. “The Manful Men’s Clothing Store” was giving a fashion show. Stanley Frazier and Stanley Settle were the proprietors of this popular little shop. Their model, get this, was the one and only Frank Hitt, voted Mr. America, of 1960. A spectacular neon sign next attracted our attention. It was above the entrance to the “Pink Dahlia,” a night club run by Jesse Carpenter. Walking in, we were pleased to note that vivacious Betty Lee Curtis, the popular comedienne was one of the featured entertainers. One of the stars making a guest appearance at the club was Geraldine Jones, beautiful New York model, who had recently achieved more fame by her blues singing and was now touring the country making personal appearances. Also entertaining at the “Pink Dahlia” were Mary Lee Moore and her all girl orchestra, the Hoosier Hepcats, with Mary Lee at the piano, Ethel (Smith) Yowell at the organ, and Rebecca (Harry) James on the trumpet and Jean (Krupa) Judd at the drums. At the Club, Charlton Schilling, photographer from the “Don’t Look Magazine” was taking pictures right and left. Just before he ran out of films, he snapped a picture of prominent Peggy Norris, editor of a fashion magazine. With Miss Norris was Miss Lucy Lee Hitt, president of the tobacco firm v-hich produces “Fortunate Hitts,” the cigarette millions smoke. (Lucky Strike for those morons who don’t “ketch on.”) Sighing happily, we reluctantly left to seek others of our friends. Luck was with us, for no sooner had we turned the corner, when our eyes fell upon the sign, “Jo Ann Baumgardner, Interior Decorator.” But this was not all; Jo Ann was once professor of Modern Architecture at the Univer- sity of Cocomonga. The office next to Jo Ann’s was occupied by Charles Thomas, a successful lawyer. Mr. Thomas ran once for the presidency, but was defeated by Miss Mary Frances Yancey. President Yancey’s cabinet is composed of some very influential women among whom are Miss June Payne, Miss Helen Kibler, and Miss Margaret Yeager. Just by chance I happened to look up; there was a plane sky-writing an advertisement. It read: “Use Pound’s Palputatin’ Pastel Petunia Pink Perfume created by Evelyn.” Of course the plane was piloted by Elizabeth Martin, famous woman aviator. We could tell that writing anywhere. Time was growing short now. We had time for but one more stop, so we decided to attend a movie. Featured in the newsreel was the laying of the cornerstone of the new Karnegie Hall, financed by Mr. Paul Karnes, that Wall Street tycoon. Starred in the main movie, “The Wolf Girl Meets Frankenstein,” was the dainty, dauntless Doris Domazet, who was now, we learned, a world famous actress. Barbara Brown, a magnificent harpist, was shown playing sweetly on her beautiful harp, which was given her by the Maharajah of India. Elaine, much enthused over Barbara’s playing, was anxious to pick up a few pointers that might come in handy on her return to the Celestial Heights. We returned — at last — the way we had come, myself more or less reluctantly, naturally. Elaine went her way — up, and I stood there. Just when I was about to change my mind about returning, Mortimer, the little messenger, came up. I believe I said before that I was one of Scratch’s favorites. Well, he hadn’t forgotten me. So — so long. If I ever get around to sending you a post-card it’ll read: “Having a fine time. Wish you were here.” E. L. B. C. M.

Not pictured: Eileen Bayley, Frank Hitt, Barbara Stultz. iP.enio- ' i TlCay, “Young April,” a typical picturization of the average American family, was presented by the Senior Class on March 28, 1947. George, played by Pete Bragg, was a college freshman who returned to his home for vaca- tion and whose love life caused quite a hit of disturbance. Terry, played by Eileen Bayley, his sister, similarly caused her parents distress by her frequent engagements and the trouble she had getting out of these en- tanglements. Mr. McIntyre, a college professor, played by Mende Lerner, and Mrs. McIntyre, the concerned mother, played by June Payne, were the long suffering parents who eventually had to straighten out their children’s harassed lives. George’s sweetheart, Diane Gilmore and his sister’s in- effectual fiance, Stewart Miller, were portrayed by Geraldine Jones and Chic Brown. Bill Willson enacted the role of Brian Stanley while Stewart’s high strung mother was played by Mary Lee Moore. Elsie, Vivian, and Bert Parrsons, several of Terry’s numerous friends, were played by Ann McMullan, Nolie Towsey, and Jack Eincham re- spectively. Other characters included Doris Domazet, Peggy Blanken- baker, Boland Clement, Elizabeth Martin, Frank Hitt, Bobby Bruce, Tommy Broyles and Barbara Stultz. V 40 h iflenioA.

Have you sold your ads? How many subscriptions have you sold? Have you turned in your articles?” were some of the remarks heard in the Culpeper High School halls before the Colonnade deadline. Every staff member was in a turmoil a month preceding the deadline. Taking pictures, voting on the honors, setting up the dummy, getting the money, and many other odds and ends all helped to practically drive the entire staff goofy. Naturally we had to put on our thinking caps to try and think up something original, which for us was very difficult. After the dummy was sent, the staff just sat and wondered if there was anything they had forgotten to do. Nice time to wonder!!!

PEPERGRAM Contrary to the custom of former years, the Pepergrctm now has twelve issues yearly instead of the usual eight. The paper is published every three weeks by the students of journalism class, which is new this year, and other high school students interested in newspaper writing. Just as “the pen is the tongue of the mind,” according to Cervantes, so the Peper- gram strives to be the voice of C. H. S. teen-agers. Its purpose is news and views of the students, written by the students, for the students. In addition to providing the usual news stories, the 1946-47 Pepergram presented new features in Johnny Edmondson and Tommy Colvin ' s “Bits of Wit,” Charles Brown’s “Chic ’n Corn,” Mende Lerner and Howard Xewlon, Jr.’s “Grams of Grit,” all of which portrayed teen-age humor. Cary Humphries and Mac Moore’s “From the Locker Room” revealed happenings in the field of sports, and Joyce Harlow’s “Views on the News” presented student opinions on current happenings. Mary Lee Moore and her assistants gave additional student opinions on both local, state, national, and international issues in their editorials. As winners in the 1946 Virginia High School League Publications Contest for Group II schools, the members of this year’s staff are striving to maintain their rating of distinguished as well as to serve as the voice of C. H. S. teen-agers. 48 y ‘P.ep.e ' igAam STAFF OFFICERS Editor-in-Chief Mary Lee Moore Assistant Editors Nancy Hounshell Lucyle Humphries News Editors Mende Lerner Grace Inskeep Feature Editor Charles Brown Sports Editors Jimmy Towsey Jack Blan kenbaker Sta f Artist Kennon Eller Heads Editor Barbara Stultz Exchange Editor Joyce Harlow Staff Photographer Charlton Schilling Business Manager Howard Newlon, Jr. Advertising Manager Melvin Spicer Circulation Manager Jack Barber Typists Bey a Miller, Virginia Morris, Joanne Bailey Faculty Advisor Miss Gertrude I).

OFFICERS President Kathehine Jones Vice-President Helen Broyles Secretary Nancy Bache Treasurer Evelyn Fletcher Reporter 1 Jean Colvin Sponsor Mrs. George Hudson With much enthusiasm rising from new home economics quarters this year, the Home Economics Club set up its aims and objectives. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. George Hudson, they worked diligently to carry their program out. Serving the school, home, and community and broadening their intelligence and efforts in homemaking were the over-all objectives of the club. In carrying out these objectives, the club adopted a girl in the lower grades to whom gilts and baskets were sent throughout the year. The girls presented an assembly program entitled “Courtesy Around the Clock.” Outstanding in the activities of the year was the re-decoration of the home economics room. The members of the club purchased and made the drapes and assisted in the painting. They also purchased equipment for the cooking department. •( 50 V Science QO.U - OFFICERS President Mende Lerner Vice-President John McDevitt Secretary Robert Bruce Treasurer Nolie Towsev Sponsor Mrs. John A. B. Davies The Science Club met the first of the year and selected the things for which they would work during the year. One of these was to have an assembly during the year. This organization serves as a means by which students can learn more concern- ing science and to discover and cultivate skills and talents along this same line. Be- sides these, learning to work for the joy of working makes the club members more conscious of their actions. A student must have one credit in science and be pursu- ing another scientific course to he eligible for membership in this club.

This year, due to the large membership, there are two sections, the lower organization for the grade children and the upper one com- posed entirely of high school students. “To make the best better” is the motto of this nation-wide club, and every year each member selects one project, which may in- clude cooking, sewing, dairy and beef calves, poultry, home improvements, and others on which to work during the year. National honors came to two members within 1946. For outstanding work in bread making Louise Hitt was awarded a free trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago. In the spring of 1946 Katherine Jones, for her leadership ability, won a free trip to the National 4-H Camp in Washington. Entering the contest for the State Dairymen’s scholarship to V. P. I., Thompson Claxton won second place for which he received a plaque. Also for outstanding club work he received a twenty-five dollar bond.

Club, is the youngest organiza- tion in Culpeper High School, this being only its third year. To foster interest in the field of retailing as a profession is one of the purposes of the organization. The members take a distributive education class in which are taught the fundamentals of retailing; after attending school in the morning, they work in retail stores of the town the rest of the day. In this way they receive practical experience as saleswomen. { 54 £i JuiAy, dub OFFICERS President Doris Domazet Vice-President Joanne Bailey Secretary and Treasurer Charles Brown Reporter Virginia Morris Sponsor Miss Mary George Bolen “To furnish a student staff for the library and to further the students’ interest in the use of books and library service” is the purpose of the Library Club. In carrying this out students serve as desk assistants every period during the day, including activity period. The different committees serve as a means for making the club work more interesting to its members and helping the club. We are constantly reminded of the fact that this club cooperates wholeheartedly with the S. C. A. at all times as well as with all other organizations. On November 8, to introduce Book Week, they had charge of assembly. Upset- ting all traditions of giving book reviews, the student body saw a play, “Bargains in Cathay.” Reviews of newly bought books are written up in the school paper by the reporter. After performing these and many more activities, the Library Club hopes that their purpose has been carried to the furthest extent.

Within tlu 1 past few years the Glee Club has grown not only in size hut in stature as it has contributed a great deal to school life. Having as one of its objectives to encourage and develop the technique of choral singing the Glee Club met at activity period to practice, over and over, the selections they had chosen to sing. Throughout the year they participated in varied programs: American Education Week, Music Week, and school assemblies. The highlight of the ' winter season was the Christmas cantata, “The Story of Christmas.” After many practices, learning the music, and much patience from our sponsor. Miss Edna P. Reed, the final touches were put on, and it was ready for the public. During the spring, everyone looked forward to travelling going to the district music contest in Alexandria, and if the judges said yes, to the State Music Festival. When the strains of “God of Our Fathers” were heard, every one suddenly realized that another successful year had come to a close. ! 56 1 - Size.

In order to accomplish this, they try to teach the children the safe way of doing things. The council is divided into two groups, the patrol hoys and the bus monitors. The patrol boys are stationed at various places in the school area and up town before and after school and at recess to see that students get across the street safely. On each bus, there are monitors who aid the driver in keeping order on the bus. They also see that students follow safety rules in getting on and off buses.

The one organization in school that every person belongs to is the Student Coopera- tive Association. The governing body of it is the council, which is composed of one representative elected from each home room and the presidents of all clubs. The main purpose of the S. C. A. is to give each student a voice in the government of the school. To encourage cleanliness, as well as improvement, in the school, to promote school spirit, and to plan assembly programs arc some of the objectives for this year. Candlelight installation service was conducted at the beginning of the year and dances were sponsored by the S. C. A. throughout the year. They presented the ' Good Citizenship Award at graduation. Accompanied by Miss Virginia Lewis and Supl. Paul Hounshell four members chosen to represent Culpeper motored to Richmond to attend the State S. C. A. con- vention.

Cast in the 1 leading character roles were Eileen Bayley, as Belinda Pryde, the flighty, “old-maidish” librarian who purchased Ramshackle Inn, and Mende Lerner as the sinister Patton, who was constantly on the prowl. Harriet Witt and Frank Hitt furnished the romantic interest, as the young couple who became involved in the murder. Other leading characterizations were enacted by Nolie Towsey, as the mysterious Joyce Rogers, and Kitty Williams as cynical Maine Phillips. Remaining roles were tilled by Billy Willcox, Johnny Edmondson, Roland Clement. Inez Palmer, Marshall Gayheart, Nancy Hounshell, Howard Newlon, Pete Bragg, and Everette Kelley.

The standards by which each girl tries to live, clean thoughts, clean speech, clean scholarship, and clean sportsman- ship, play an important part in the work of the club. One of tbe club’s most important objectives is tbe adoption of an underprivileged girl in the lower grades. Baskets are sent to the family on several occasions, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. In addition, little things are done for her all through the school year. Activities from which much is gained are: (1) going to one of the churches in the community once a month, (2) having charge of assembly programs, and (3) attend- ing district and state Hi-Y meetings. The social life of the club involves the annual “Sweetheart Cotillion” around Valentine’s Day, which is given jointly with the Boys’ Hi-Y, and the Mother-Daugh- ter Tea in May. i 64 y Bmja.’ HL-ty OFFICERS President John Flannery Vice-President Pat Johnson Secretary John McDevitt Treasurer Billy Cook Sponsor Mr. Floyd T.

VARSITY FOOTBALL Although the Blue Devils had an unsuccessful football season, much credit is given the team because they worked under one big difficulty, injuries to their first- string, both line and backfield. From the first of the season injuries hindered the team, but this did not keep them from putting their whole hearts into every game. Cary Humphries deserves credit for his tine field generalship as quarterback and Stanley Brown for his courage and loyalty, as he came back to play after an early season injury. Robert Barfield, who has been a regular Blue Devil center for four years, helped many a back get off to a flying start with his hard accurate passes. Credit should be given to Charles Thomas, right guard, and Hollie Lee Sisk, left end, for their blocking and tackling on the line. In the backfield Johnny Brown, fullback, and Pat Johnson, left halfback, deserve credit for their hard running and passing that kept up the team ' s morale. The strong list of reserves really saved the day, for without them, it would have been impossible to have finished the season. 1946 VARSITY FOOTBALL RECORD Opponents Place We They Opponents Place We They Waynesboro Culpeper 2 7 Fluvanna Carysbrook 6 6 Faiifax Culpeper 7 7 Falls Church Falls Church 2 21 Fork Union M.
