Culpeper Town County Library Culpeper, Virginia 7 h 1948 COLONNADE Barbara James, Editor Mary Quinn, Business Manager Miss Mary George Bolen, Sponsor Published bv O THE SENIOR CLASS of CULPEPER HIGH SCHOOL Culpeper, Virginia ' Jenifer 4 The emblem of the blue devil has become representative of Culpeper High School, and all its phases of activity, particularly athletic games and other contests. Therefore, we have chosen as our theme the spirit of the blue devil. These eighth graders are entering high school with an eager anticipa- tion of deriving the benefits of the planning and work of the administra- tion and faculty, exploring new fields of knowledge, participating in a variety of activities, discovering their latent talents and those of their classmates, and enjoying the opportunities offered by the business men of the community. As these students take part in high school life, the spirit of the blue devil will develop and they will learn to appreciate its significance, as they advance from year to year.

At times, the staff thought they’d never get it done, but finally the last ad was sold, the last subscription was bought, and all the features were written. It was really with a sigh of relief that we saw the Colonnade go to press. We want to thank everyone who helped us by buying a Colonnade or an ad, and by turning in snapshots. We particularly wish to thank Jean Pierce, who, though not a member of the staff, willingly gave of her time and talent to make the sketches for the divider pages. Our only hope is that you will enjoy reading the Colonnade as much as we enjoyed working on it. { 38 y mi Mwe, First row, left to right : William Cook, Eleanor Kivctt, Barbara James, Miss Mary George Bolen, Inez Palmer, Nancy Hounshell, Lucy Willis Thornhill.

Brown i 75 y oCe t c [AJl . . . As we, the prospective seniors of ’47-’48, began our goal as unsophisticated freshmen in ’44, we had to face the usual anxieties which one finds when entering high school. Our first leader was Melvin Spicer, whom we elected president of our class. 1 he rotating from Miss Virginia Lewis’ room to that of Miss Gertrude Lewis became quite an arbitrary habit which we could not possibly forget. Oh, well, no work without play! What fun we did have at those good old-fashioned high school dances which were held in our spacious library before it was diminished in size! This year two new clubs were organized — the Distrib- utors’ Club and the Science Club, which sought to band together the salesmen and scientists, respectively. An important event took place when the S. C. A. launched a student participation plan. This plan aroused much enthusiasm because it made the students feel that they had more voice in the government of the school. Then we trotted to our sophomore year, which began with a bang! Mr. C. E. May became our new principal after the resignation of Mr. R. R. Tolbert, who had served the school as principal for twenty-seven years. We made Pat Johnson our president this year. The easy going” language called Latin was drilled into our heads by Miss Marion Wright. My! what a time we had. Other pleasant memories which reign with us are dissecting grasshoppers with instruc- tions from Professor Floyd Binns, and running needles through our fingers under Mrs. G. N. Hudson. Gay plaid shirts and overalls were the dominating features of the Barnyard Sock Hop” which was sponsored by the Library Club. This was the year that we had eight math teachers, after the regrettable loss of Miss Ruth Campbell. Back in the corridors of C. H. S. as juniors under the leadership of Johnny Mac Brown, our president, we were greeted by Mr. J. H. Combs, our new principal. Also on the faculty was Mr. H. E. Null, who returned to Culpeper to replace Mr. Carter White as coach. The high school plan was changed with the addition of an eighth grade, having as its coordinator Mrs. J. W. Ross. This addition increased the number of students to 42 3, which up to this time was the largest enrollment of Culpeper High School. Soon our thoughts turned to preparing for the Junior-Senior Prom. In order to raise money for the Prom, we presented the Dancing Moonbeam Minstrel” in which hidden talent of many students was revealed. This was the year we introduced ourselves to Miss Emily Carper, the Spanish-speaking senorita with a southern drawl. The proper position of the fingers and those funny curly-cues called shorthand were learned in typing and shorthand classes instructed by Miss Jean DeShazo. This year Culpeper High School was host to the Fredericksburg District S. C. A. Convention, which attracted over 2 00 students and advisors. At last we felt that we had reached the final step on our ladder of fame. Yes, we were the dignified seniors of ’47-’48. We again honored Melvin Spicer by bestowing upon him the responsibility of being senior class president. A new attraction of this year was the organization of a long anticipated band, under the direction of Miss Rebecca Chappell. Also, on the vocational side, was the addition of a class in diversified occupa- tions, with Mr. Howard Newlon as coordinator. Laboring over the Colonnade added to our activity as the press date drew dangerously near. We never realized that there could be so much work to it. The explanation of plans for our new high school, presented in assembly by Mr. Paul Hounshell. superintendent of schools, caused much excitement among the members of the student body. Practice! Days and nights of practice! The senior play was under production, and the work was not in vain. The radiant faces we seniors possessed on the days when we received our rings and gowns renewed once more the glorious experience of being seniors. This thrilling feeling reached its height on April 2 3, when the juniors entertained us at the Junior-Senior Prom. Finally graduation day arrived. As we marched down the aisle for the last time, we realized that we had not actually reached the last step on our ladder of fame; but had taken only the first successful one toward a richer and more abundant life in the future. Inez Palmer Everette Kelley 4 76 h Clabb ojj 1948 .Street b SenionA Witk Out tan.c5i.n. TnaitA John Robinson Brown, better known as Johnny Mac,” is noted for his athletic prowess. He has played varsity baseball for three years and for four years was a determining factor in many football victories. Because of his inspiring leadership in football and his devotion to athletics of all types, Johnny Mac” was voted the most athletic in the senior class. Faculty and students demonstrated their admiration for his dependability and good citizenship by voting him the first Rotary Good Citizen of the school year. Further proof of the esteem fellow classmates and teammates hold for him was shown in the fact that he was captain of the 1946 football L team, president of the junior class, and vice-president of the senior class. As President of the Girls’ Hi-Y, Betty Hurt has demonstrated her ability to lead and to cooperate with others. A true representation of the ideals of Hi-Y, Betty is one of the most popular girls in school. A few of the qualities that make her outstanding are her sincerity, thoughtfulness, and consideration for others. Betty also has an excellent scholastic record, which should be a valuable asset in the future. Characterized by her pleasant disposition, leadership ability, initiative, and diligence, Barbara James exemplifies the typical Culpeper High School spirit. Although a student at C. H. S. for only two and one half years, she’s recognized for her contributions to the Colonnade as editor-in-chief, to the Glee Club, to the Pepergram Staff, to the S. C. A. Council, and to the Girls’ Hi-Y. Barbara has demonstrated industry and resourcefulness in these major organizations as well as in her class work. As a testimony of their esteem for Barbara, the faculty and senior class elected her D. A. R. Good Citizen for Culpeper County. Senior Class President Melvin Spicer is known throughout the school for his leadership, initiative, and loyalty. Melvin has served the school through his active membership in many organizations, especially the S.C. A., where he gained recognition when he was elected president of the district organization. As business manager of the Pepergram, he worked not only to help finance the newspaper, but also to promote better understanding between the school and community. Melvin demonstrated his loyalty by his presence at all school functions and his willingness to go the extra mile” for the benefit of C. H. S. { 77 Y Senior Present The Wont tkt Wtnnltn Gloria Arrington and Billy Brown were selected to enact the leading roles in the senior play, which was presented on Friday evening, April 22, 194 8, at 8:15 p. m. Mrs. Gordon B. Witt directed the performance. The More the Merrier” is a comedy in three acts by Anne Ferring Weatherly. Jimmie Flunter, a typical 16 year old boy who seems to be a magnet for trouble, is played by Billy Brown. Gloria Arrington portrays the part of Jiffy Peyton, Jimmie’s girl-friend who adores him and is always willing to help. Mr. and Mrs. Flunter, portrayed by Jimmy Ross and Kitty Williams, respectively, go off to a college reunion and leave the children to keep house. Miss Sheldon, a celebrity played by Reva Miller, arrives and the children sell her suitcase and clothes in their white elephant” sale. Upon returning, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter find the house a complete wreck, and the gang planning to have a party there that night. But there are compensations, not the least of which are warm words of praise that come from Judge Washburn, Judge of the Juvenile Court, portrayed by Melvin Spicer. Other characters are Barbara, Eleanor Kivett, the attractive 18 year old daughter; Ellie, Mary Quinn, another daughter, wise beyond her years; Mrs. Green, Nancy Hounshell, a neighbor poisonously sweet; Gloria Green, Betty Hurt, her scheming, boy-chasing daughter; Hank Robbins, Jack Fincham, Jimmie’s awkward pal; Jerry Washburn, Buddy Catron, attractive quarry for Barbara and Gloria; Herb Allen, Stanley Brown, a practical joker; Louise Nash, Jean Crews, a giggler; and Dot Hogan, Gertrude Yowell, the athletic type. In (1) Ellie holds the interested attention of Gloria, who has dropped in to entangle Jerry, Barbara’s boy-friend. Elbe is trying to explain to her big sister Barbara that she must leave before the frogs leap out of her pockets, but Barbara pays no attention to her strange words and actions. In (2) Judge Washburn praises Jimmie for establishing Teen Town, as Mrs. Green, Miss Sheldon, Mrs. Hunter, and Mr. Hunter witness the event. In (3) Dot, Hank, Jiffy, Herb, and Louise prepare to give their first party as members of the newly-established Teen Town. J 78 y ADVERTISEMENTS Without these advertisements our record of school life would be incomplete, for the places of business they represent form an important link between the school and community. As students go through school, they become familiar with these business establishments and learn to appreciate their value.

Wearing cap and gown and carrying their high school diplomas, these two seniors typify the achievement of all seniors’ goal — graduation. During the four years of their working, learning, and cooperating with each other, they have learned to realize the values of good citizenship. As they go from high school into the future, they will take with them, in some form, the spirit of the blue devil — the spirit of loyalty, cooperation, and consideration. d 96 k
