unioA (ZCaM O fliceAd Miss Virginia Lewis S ponsor Reva Miller Treasurer Nancy Hounshell Secretary Louise Frazier Vice-President Johnny Brown President With the long anticipated Junior-Senior Prom as their ultimate goal, the teen- agers of the Junior Class launched a program of activities early in the school year under the guidance of their sponsor. 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
