There is indeed no blessing of life that is any way comparable to the enjoyment of a discreet and virtuous friend. It eases and unloads the mind, clears and improves the understanding, engenders thoughts and knowledge, animates virtue anil good resolutions, soothes and allays the passions, and finds employment for most of the vacant hours of life. â Joseph Addison. The members of the 1950 Colonnade staff feel that they are especially privileged to he the ones to record a pictorial account of the pleasures and activities of the first school year in the new Culpeper County High School. They have chosen friendship as the theme of the 1950 Colonnade because they feel that it is a very necessary factor in everyday life. They see how every phase of school life is shared by friendsâ whether the friends be administrators, teachers, classmates, club members, or persons in the community. If the 1950 Colonnade helps the reader to keep afresh in his memory those cherished school activities in which he and his friends participated, the staff will not have labored in vain.

By their deeds they have proven themselves friends not only of the 525 boys and girls who compose the present student body but of all those who will later reap benefit and pleasure from the buildings.

Always willing to give advice and to encourage the student in his work, the faculty and administration can truly be said to be the friends of every high school student. Each year students look forward to having as teachers those faculty friends return- ing and anticipate the pleasure of making friends with the newly added faculty members. Every student has benefited by their wise counsel and enjoyed the quality of their friendship. ' Jriehfa hired. Counsel, J}hJ tract SCHOOL. BOARD OF CULPEPER COUNTY. Left to right: Mrs. G. B.

Students leave the building at the ringing of the 3:15 bell. 2. Principal J. H. Combs addresses the student body on the opening day of school, September 16, 1949. 3. Hattie Faulkner, senior, glows with justifiable pride as she leaves the new school on opening day. The new Culpeper County High School opened for classes September 16, 1949. On this opening day Prin. ). H. Combs and Supt. Paul Hounshell addressed the 513 pupils at an assembly in the combination gym-auditorium. Mr. Combs stressed the importance of keeping the school and grounds in good, clean condition. Emphasizing the purpose of the new school, Mr. Hounshell said: âYour new high school was built not just for housing, but to provide facilities for a better education than you were able to secure in the Ann Wingfield Building. If parents see that you use this to advantage and take care of the building, they will consider it a good investment.â This beautiful building, constructed by the Goode Construction Company of North Carolina, under the supervision of Mr. K. A. Bates, rates as one of the most modern and elaborately built in the state of Virginia. Other than 20 class rooms the school consists of two well equippe d science rooms, a five-room home economics suite, a large gymnasium, a modern cafeteria, plus a spacious, well-lighted library located on the first floor front. New to the students were the recessed lockers lining both the upper and lower halls, and the public address system, over which announcements are made. The students of Culpeper High School are both proud of and grateful for the costly $700,000 school which has been provided for them; and because of their pride in the school and its grounds, they will endeavor to leave it as they found it. 4 12 y ÂŁckccl OfflerA tucfehtA Varied Curriculum Culpeper County High School offers its students an extensive schedule of subjects from which to choose. Three main courses are offered; namely, the general course, the college preparatory course, and the commercial course. The majority of the high school students take the general course. It is a course designed for students who do not wish to go to college hut who want a practical education. The general course prepares the hoys and girls to carry on lifeâs work in the community as well as in the home. Also it prepares them to enter into various fields of work; such as, retail selling, apprenticeships for mechanics, farming, plumbing, car- pentry, printing, and many other trades. Certain subjects are required of students taking the general course for graduation: four years of English, one year of civics, one year of U.S. history, one year of mathematics, and one year of science. All students who plan to go to college take the college preparatory course. Only the students who have a âCâ average or above are recommended for college entrance; therefore, the college preparatory course must be harder and must include a variety of subjects. The subjects offered in the college preparatory course are four units of English, one unit of U.S. history, one unit of civics, two units of science, two units of algebra, one unit of plane geometry, and one half unit of solid geometry and trigonometry. Electives offered with this course are Latin, world history, Spanish, chemistry, physics, typing, and public-speaking and dramatics. The third course which is planned for the students is the commercial course. Anyone who desires to become a secretary or hold some commercial position takes this course. The subjects necessary for graduation under this course are as follows: one unit of civics, one unit of science, two units of typing, two units of shorthand, one unit of bookkeeping, and one unit of vocational bookkeeping and office prac- tice. Students who take the commercial course are allowed two electives. Pupils who take this course are trained especially to do careful, accurate, and speedy work in all required subjects. The eighth grade is now ' an essential part of the high school. In order to exercise their interests and abilities in different fields, the eight graders are given an opportunity to take nine-weeks courses in art, agriculture, general business, industrial arts, home economics, and music. Mathematics and science are given for 18 weeks each. Language arts, social studies, and physical education run throughout the year. A program of physical education is offered in the high school. The students participate in sports of various kinds and study health lessons. During the winter months classes are held in the gymnasium. To serve the science students, there is a modern laboratory with equipment and chemical supplies. Culpeper County High has a library with a seating capacity of 72 and contains more than 4,000 vol- umes, the most up-to-date reference, fiction, and non-fiction books. The library subscribes to 30 magazines and three newspapers. New to the students of Culpeper County High is the Home Economics Department which includes a bedroom, bath, living room, sewing room, and kitchen. In this department the students are given an opportunity to learn how to manage a home. { 13 y V Camera Catcher ClaAAeA at Work 1. Library. 2. Mrs. Rosson ' s Eighth Grade Social Studies Class. 3.

All students who have a vacant period may come to the library to do reference work, read the pajrers and magazines, or to do recreational reading. Per- mits are required to enter the library. 2. Most all teachers use films as a good educational medium. Mrs. F. Rosson found films particularly beneficial in her eighth grade social studies classes. 3. Although a regular part of all science classes, ex- periments in the laboratory are particularly inter- esting to the students. 4. Agriculture classes have shop work in a spacious well-equipped room in the shop building. 5. A new course, public-speaking anil dramatics, teaches the students to be well poised, competent, and gives them an opportunity to exercise their talents. 6. The art classes spend much time making posters for publicity of plays, etc., and drawing pictures for the front hall bulletin boards. 7. In a comprehensive home economics department the girls have vast opportunities to learn to cook, clean, and sew, with the most modern facilities. 4 14}- Sock II CLASSES âOf all the heavenly gifts that mortal men commend , IV hat trusty treasure in the world can countervail a friend.â â Nicholas Grimoald For years to come all students will cherish the memories which are locked within their hearts and recorded on the pages of the Colonnade. Especially will seniors remember as the best their senior year. At first, wonder filled the heart of each senior, but toward the end of the year a note of sadness crept in. Graduation meant the parting of friends. Due to the addition of the eighth grade four years ago, the senior group numbered only 35, including the five postgraduates. Residing in one home room, they felt bound together by friendly ties not always experienced by a larger group. Underclassmen numbered approximately 485. As these boys and girls passed from eighth grade to ninth, from ninth to tenth, and so on until their goal, their senior year, was reached, friendships of lasting quality were formed. As the world cherished the stories of such friends as Damon and Pythias, and David and Jonathan, so will students in school cherish the friendships formed among their classmates and mem- bers of other classes during this school year. The staffs presentation of the classes by individual pictures will make possible the recollection of school days through the memory of friends. 4 15 1- O ' Same leadi ClaAA erf 1950 Left to right: G.

William O ' Bannon President Maude Perryman Vice-President Louise Hitt Secretary Virginia Arnold Treasurer Gloria Moss Reporter Mr. Floyd T. Binns Adviser September, 1945, saw a freshman class numbering 160 enter high school in the Ann Wingfield building and reside in four homerooms. They chose John Edmondson presi- dent. Mr. R. R. Tolbert was sponsor. June, 1946, saw three-fourths of those freshmen pass on to be sophomores, and the other 40 were freshmen again in September, 1946. They resided in Room 9 under the direction of Miss Edna Reed. Frank Henslev was the president. September, 1947, saw the class, numbering 33, slightly changed by several losses and a few additions. Henry Woodville, better known as âMeatball,â was president, and the class again had Room 9 with Miss Jean DeShazo as sponsor. September, 1948, saw 37 juniors divided between two home rooms â Room 6 under Miss Ellen Whitmore and Room 4 under Miss Laura Thornhill, who served as class sponsor. The class early elected Richard Herbert president and started plans for the Junior-Senior Prom. The school saw a class small in number making big plans. They sponsored a benefit movie and âSunshine Sue, and sold autograph books and Christmas cards. April 29 was a gala occasion as juniors and seniors danced the night away in the streamed bedecked gym to the strains of the âCavaliers â orchestra. September, 1949, found Room 11 in the new Culpeper County High School occupied by 30 seniors and five p.g.âs under the sponsorship of Mr. Floyd T. Binns. Thev had arrived! The smallest senior class for many years crowded a big number of events into a short year. They proudly marched into the new gym-auditorium to occupy front seats at the first assembly on September 16. The class elected William O ' Bannon president. Class rings were worn with pride. Using the surplus from last year ' s Junior-Senior Prom to pay expenses, the class spent one day in Washington. Anticipating commencement in June, the seniors ordered cards and invitations early. Mrs. Gordon Witt directed the senior play. The seniors were guests of the juniors on Mav 5, and other final events came in a rush â Class Day, sermon for seniors, and graduation on June 12. {] 6 } CLASS OF 1950 Danie Virginia Arnold Ginny Rixeyville, Va.

We feel another mind bent on the same end enjoy- ing it, ensuring it, reflecting it, and delighting in our devotion to it.â â William Ellery Channing Participating in club activities is an excellent means of gaining friends. To make friends and to be a friend one must associate with other people. In club activities students find opportunities to formulate and express their own opinions and learn to work with others. Students found that participation in various clubs helped to secure more friends. Nineteen school organizations offered varied opportunity for benefit and pleasure from club participation as well as the joy of working with people having the same interests. The staff presents for the record the activities of the clubs for the school year. i 3 5b C.tf. PlatfA Hc.it tc OreHerickibutq faiiMct First row, left to right : S. Harlow. M. Perryman, J. Kilby, R.

C. A. Council was composed of home room representatives, the president of each organization, the chair- man of each committee, and the president of the senior class. This year, for the first time, a junior Scott Harlow, held the most responsible position of president. To become a banner S. C. A. was the main and foremost objective of this organization; and in carrying out this objective, it performed many worthwhile activities. It endeavored to promote school spirit, improve attendance, encourage cleanliness and improvement in the school, participate in nation-wide drives, increase opportunities for wholesome recreation, have assembly programs educational as well as amusing, develop leadership, encourage student participation in school gov- ernment, and instill within the pupils a desire to leave the school even more beautiful than they found it. Under the S. C. A. were four committees: Health, Clean-up, Monitors ' , and Ushers . The Health Committee assisted with clinics, supervised sanitation activities, and had the first aid room ready at all times for any emergency. To get students to have respect for the building and grounds was the hardest duty the Clean-up Committee had. Besides this the members checked the rooms, grounds, and lockers to se e if they were clean. 4 36h I iii! -w |r (1) rlOiviii RUU ..1 RhcRtStN I A ' l ivi_S, first taw, left to right: M. Lux, E.

Approximately thirty-five students were appointed as monitors at the beginning of the year. With each one serving six times a year, the monitors kept order in the halls before school, after school, at lunch time, and during the changing of classes. Students receiving detention slips from monitors for breaking a rule reported to detention hall, which was sponsored by this committee. The Ushersâ Committee saw that students came into assemb lies orderly and promptly, put chairs up in the auditorium for assemblies, and kept the auditorium neat and clean. Audrey Turner, Everette Powell, Richard Herbert, and Daniel Crane served as chairmen of these committees, respectively. Besides sponsoring the foregoing committees, the S. C. A. organized and conducted fire drills, planned school assemblies, awarded a citizenship prize at commencement, kept a record of activi- ties of all students, sent Christmas baskets to the poor, kept the bulletin board for activities, and did many other things. Two outstanding events of the year 1949-50 were Parentsâ Night and the District S. C. A. meeting. Parentsâ Night, in November, was acclaimed a huge success with three hundred patrons attending school and following their childrenâs daily schedule. Culpeper played host to the Dis- trict S. C. A. Convention in the spring and ran away with many honors. Since the school was in a new building, the S. C. A. had an extra hard job, but it fulfilled its duty to the utmost. denier Annual Secern School yearbook First row, left to right: G. Kearnes, H. Kerrick, J. Kilby. E. Hitt. Second row : A. Graves, F.

Each member of the staff, having been assigned to his job the previous spring, began working to prevent any last minute rushing to meet the dead-line. The circulation staff opened its campaign with an assembly and a campaign song which was heard frequently while the Colonnade was being sold. Miss Martha Warriner was adviser for this staff. Under the direction of Mrs. H. M. Thomas, the advertising staff started soliciting early when one morning was given them to see the business firms in town. After that, ads were sold in the afternoon after school. 38 J- First row, left to right: A. Graves, F. Kelly, Miss M. Warriner, J. Rosser, Miss M. G. Bolen, G. Kearnes, Mrs. H. M. Thomas.

Miss Mary George Bolen was adviser for the entire staff. Miss Bolen, Helen, Ann Graves, and Jackie Kilby attended the S. I. P. A. Convention held at Washington and Lee University in April, 1949. This is a much coveted award for any mem- ber of the staff. Next yearâs leaders attended the convention in April, 1950. To carry out its chief objective â to give a true pictorial record of the school year â the Colonnade staff did its utmost to publish the best yearbook Culpeper had ever had. 439J- Pepergratn HeepA tke School First row, left to right: H.

This four-page printed paper contained a complete coverage of school news and sports. Also included within its pages were editorials and such fea- tures as âPepper Shaker.â âTulips and Tombstones,â âThe Crystal Ball,â âThe Fashion Parade,â and âMiss Inquisitive. For the first time, the paper used linoleum block prints. The Pepergram, published by the journalism class and students selected after submitting sample articles for it, was able to print twelve issues through the sale of ads and subscriptions. Besides soliciting for ads, the advertising staff delivered the paper to business firms advertising in it. The circulation staff distributed the Pepergram to the students in school and other subscribers. In its publication, the paper strove to acquaint students with the activities of the school so that they would be better citizens of their school community, to emphasize the work of the vari- ous departments within the school, and to encourage students to take pride in doing their work, to arouse studentsâ interest in school projects, and to stimulate pride in school buildings and grounds. As each issue of the paper came out, each student could be heard to say, âIâm proud to have the Pepergram as my paper.â 1 43 y First row, left to right: G. Hitt, G. Moss, M. Button, R. Deane, A.

Rock, Jr., the Hi-Y also strove to show the school what Christian character gave one. During the year they tried to keep the school clean, especially the boysâ rest rooms. They also held religious assemblies for the purpose of enriching the lives of the students spiritually. With the Tri-Hi-Y they went to church every third Sunday in a body, attending different denominations in Culpeper. The Hi-Y sent delegates to the Hi-Y conferences in order that their club might gain informa- tion on Hi-Y work. As one of its annual activities, the Hi-Y with the Tri-Hi-Y sponsored the Sweetheart Cotil- lion on February 10. A red and white color scheme was carried out. It was the only formal dance other than the Junior-Senior Prom. Working with the state Y. M. C. A. secretary, Mr. William E. Hansen, and affiliated with the National Hi-Y, the members attempted to live up to their standards. 7ti-W- y ÂŁtreJJeJ Spiritual 94eaL First row, left to right: L. Cubbage, G. Kearnes, H. Dinkel, L.

Davies Adviser Clean scholarship, clean sportsmanship, clean speech, and clean living â these formed the four- sided platform of the Tri-Hi-Y. Within the platform there was an equilateral triangle, whose three sides were the minds, bodies, and spirits of each member. Even within the triangle there was another ideal â to have Christ reign as the center of each member. Each week an inspiring motto was written on the blackboard of the homerooms. A basket at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter was sent to a child in the grades by the members. Six new members were inducted at the beginning of the school year on the basis that they would do their best to live up to the standards of Tri-Hi-Y. Again in the spring the club held another in- duction service. At the same time officers were installed. Two delegates were sent to the Southern Area Congress at Blue Ridge, N. C., for a week last summer and three to the District Confer- ence at Front Royal. The Hi-Yâs will hold a district convention in Culpeper in the fall of 1950. A delegate also attended the State Convention. The outstanding social event was the Sweetheart Cotillion given in the gym on February 10 by the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y jointly. A heart theme was carried out. As the year passed by, each Tri-Hi-Y member did her best âto create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character.â -{ 43 J- iibranj Club Celebrate J Tenth rfhhtteMarif First row, left to right: E.

Vice-President Secretary-T reasurer Reporter Adviser Celebrating its tenth year of service, the Library Club engaged in several new activities includ- ing a hobby program and keeping the reading record for the entire high school. Inspired by the new, large, and beautiful library, the members had an even greater opportunity to promote good reading. They enjoyed working in the new workroom and at the new circula- tion desk. To support the library in all its activities, to support the S.C.A. in its effort to sponsor social life for the students, and inform the public of the clubâs activities were among the aims set by the Library Club. Guided by Martha Colvin as president, the club supplied two desk assistants for each of the six periods every day: one for checking in books; the other for recording the time each pupil entered and left the library. Each issue of the Pe pergram carried a book review written by the reporter of the Library Club. Wanting to inform the community as well as the school of its work, the Library Club gave an assembly program for the benefit of the students anti a radio program for the public. As well as engaging in activities the members entertained in the social world with a picnic for the club. -{ 44 ]- Sand Chi-olLi Turentif- ix iHemberJ First row, left to right: C. Brown, R.

But with two periods a day plus an activity meeting, the band reached its highest enrollment, and 26 members did make a loud noise. Each member strove to help develop a good band which could represent Culpeper County High School on all occasions. In doing this the band gave all instrument players in high school a chance to play together. Composing this band were the players of many different musical instruments. Included in the woodwind instruments were the first, second, and third clarinets and flutes; in the brass section were the trumpets, cornets, alto horns, trombones, and sousaphone; in the percussion section, the bass drums and snare drums. The Music Department, composed of the band, choral music class. Junior Glee Club, and Senior Glee Club, worked together to promote appreciation for music. These groups gave per- formances at assembly, over the radio, and at public meetings. Many of the band members belonged to the town band, which supported the football team. Playing with the town band gave the members a chance to work with a larger and more ex- perienced group. With J. H. Payne, Jr., as president and Mrs. Werter H. Hurt, Jr., as director, the band worked toward the goal of furnishing a worthwhile activity for high school students. -{45 b (jlee Club iZenderA ÂŁ election at fcecficatich First rou;, left to right: J.

After several weeks of practice, this musical group entertained the radio audience with sev- eral selections. At the dedication of the new school a very appropriate selection entitled âThe Builder was rendered by the group. When Christmas came along, the Glee Club gave a Christ- mas assembly and also a Christmas radio broadcast. Then they began working for the State M usic Festival to be held in the spring so that they might make a good impression upon the judges. The Glee Club drew its membership from three grades: sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Anyone interested in singing could become a member. After taking voice tests, the girls went into either the soprano or alto section; the boys into either tenor or bass section. This developed part singing. Among the selections sung by the Glee Club were âThe Green Cathedral,â âI Heard a For- est Praying,â âO Holy Night of Memory,â âThe German Folk Song,â and âThe Lost Chord.â Among the members were several soloists and quartets. Also in one selection, there was an obligato or high soprano section. In getting others to appreciate good singing the Glee Club broadened its own singing reper- toire. â { 46 y Jui tier ÂŁihgerJ Warble Waif tc Jaw First row, left to right: Mrs. W. H. Hurt, Jr., M.

Hurt, Jr. President Secretary-T reasurer Accompanist Director Drawing its membership from the eighth and ninth grades, the Junior Glee Club was com- posed of approximately seventy members, making it the largest club in school. While in the Junior Glee Club, the members prepared for singing in the Senior Glee Club. The club met on Mon- days each week for practice. Ellsworth Bowler, head man of the Junior Glee Club, was chosen at the very beginning of the year. Soon afterwards the club began working on an assembly program. With such an outstand- ing program, the junior singers were well on the way to perfecting selections for the State Music Festival. Last year they came out ahead of the Senior Glee Club, and they endeavored to keep this standard. They, like the Senior Glee Club, worked to broaden the singing repertoire of the members and to develop part singing of the group. There were breath control, tone quality, and expression on which they worked especially. They worked with the Music Department whenever they were called upon. Some of the selections they rendered were âNight Fall and âFather, Most Merciful. Although just a junior organization, the Junior Glee Club performed a job comparable with that of a more experienced group. U7V bramatiAtS Present fkree-Act Cwecfif F.rst row, left to right: A.

Miss Love Bentley, the Dramatic Club soon selected its three-act play. This year a hilarious comedy, âAunt S amanthay Rules the Roost,â was chosen from among many other plays read. Included in the cast were Ann Graves, Helen Kerrick, Ann Herndon, Kermit Wagner, Lois Doyle, Mildred Ruth Weaver, Roy Carroll, William Clement, Paul McNeer, and Janet Bolen. When the play was given on February 9, it was ac- claimed such a huge success that the drama players were sure they would have to give another one or at least a one-act play. They decided to choose the latter so that they might compete with the Junior Dramatic Club for a chance to go to the District Meet. Producing these plays gave pupils an opportunity to speak and act before an audience. But not all of their time was taken up with play acting. On Armistic Day they gave an assembly program with Mrs. Berkeley Calfee as the principal speaker. Also on the clubâs list of activities was a radio program by which they informed the public of dramatic production. In addition they gave a dance for the entire student body. Through all its productions, the Dramatic Club strove to increase appreciation for drama. -{48 h Junicr Club (jUii Platf fa Radio Audience First row, left to right: N. Hopkins, F. Thompson, M.

Francis Thompson President Nancy Hopkins Vice-President Constance Coiner Secretary Mary Robeson Treasurer Miss Ellen McMullan Adviser Wasting no time in producing its first play, the Junior Dramatic Club gave âLove Hits Wil- bur a one-act comedy, at a regular Friday assembly in the fall. The cast included Francis Thompson, who was also president of the club, Constance Coiner, Jeane Coffey, William Gil- bert, Mary Robeson, and Maxine Weaver. The play kept the students in a constant uproar. In the spring the club gave another short play and also worked on a three-act play. Although the Dramatic Club prepared for more elaborate productions, the junior organization gave the senior club stiff competition. In fact, in the District Meet the juniors won over the seniors. When called upon to give one of its plays for the P.-T.A. or some other school function, the club was always ready with an excellent performance. Although limited to eighth graders and freshmen, the club had two business meetings a month just as the senior club did. Not giving plays at public expense, the club had dues as its only source of revenue. Out of this fund came play books and any other necessary expenses. In joint agreement with the Dramatic Club, the Junior Dramatic Club gave its plays in order to increase the appreciation for drama. i 49 f Junior Ge4 CrcAA Pack A Ctykteen ScxeA First row, left to right: M.

Mary Rogers Button Chairman Miss Sutton Bland Adviser As its outstanding annual event the Junior Red Cross had its campaign in the fall. With a rep- resentative from each home room working, eighteen boxes, containing such items as toothbrushes, washcloths, yo-yos, pencils, and other essential articles, were packed. The council sent the boxes to some foreign country enclosing a return address, so that the council might have some means of communication with people of other lands. In addition to the boxes, the students contributed a total of $25.64. Anyone making a contribution to the Red Cross received a membership card. Also each home room that gave as much as $1 won a Junior Red Cross sticker. The art classes of Culpeper County High School worked with the Junior Red Cross, drawing and painting pictures representing the American way of life. The council and art classes then started working on scrapbooks with snapshots, newspaper articles, and interesting stories or write- ups. These pictures and scrapbooks were also sent to foreign countries. With Mary Rogers Button as chairman, the Junior Red Cross helped the Culpeper County chapter of the American Red Cross whenever they were called upon. Whereas Red Cross placed more emphasis on local help, Junior Red Cross strove to create an interest in helping children across the ocean. 4 50h a etif Council Protect A Students on SuAeA First row: W.

Howard, Jr. President Vice-President Secretary-T reasurer Adviser The Safety Council, as its name implies, is a group of students whose main purpose was to look after the safety of the entire student body. At the intersection of Highway 229 and Hend- rick Lane which leads to the high school, a group of volunteer boys had charge of seeing that the students crossed the highway safely. Also on the Safety Council were those, both boys and girls, who served as bus monitors. On each of the buses, there was one, sometimes two, who had charge of the safety of each person on the bus. When the bus stopped, the monitor took a red flag and stopped approaching traffic from both directions until the persons crossed the highway. The bus monitors also saw that the children remained in their seats, kept their arms, hands, and heads out of the windows, and kept quiet. This was necessary in order that the driver could keep his mind on his driving. As a reward for their outsanding work the Safety Council, accompanied by Mr. J. H. Combs and Mr. A. T. Howard, Jr., journeyed to the capital of the nation to visit points of interest. The Safety Council, under the leadership of John Frazier, was one of the clubs that lived up to its name. -{ si y PaH- hnericaH Ctufa tflake foebut Left group, first row, left to right: R. Kahoe, M.

It was really two clubs. The Junior Pan American Club was made up of those tak- ing Spanish I; the Senior Club, those taking Spanish II. Because each club met every other Fri- day during class time, the clubs did not carry points on the point system. With a Spanish dinner given in honor of the Spanish II class, Catorce Pimientos, or Fourteen Peppers, entertained in a Spanish way with a Spanish menu. Los Diablos Espanoles, or the Spanish Devils, in turn gave a Spanish Christmas party for the Spanish I class. During the year several members corresponded with students in Spanish speaking countries. In these ways the Spanish Clubs furthered the membersâ knowledge of current events, customs, and activities of Spanish America. In order that they might develop an appreciation of music, art, and literature of Spanish America, both clubs participated in the Christmas program by singing carols in Spanish. Also on March 17 Catorce Pimientos and Los Diablos gave an informal dance for the student body, carry- ing out the Spanish theme, âSolamente Una Vez.â A radio program presented by the club gave the public a chance to learn more of Spanish America. The Spanish students gained useful experience for future years in speaking the language of the Pan American neighbors. i52Y ' Jutute RuAitxeAA teaforA Jind Juture Jc( J First row , left to right : V.

B. L. A. by paying twenty-five cents dues each semester. In order to become a member each must have been taking one com- mercial subject. Each member ' s one goal was to bring the business world to himself and to thereby enable himself to become more familiar with the problems he will have to face and which he will have to meet in order to be a success upon completing his schooling. Included in the commercial course at Culpeper County High School were general business, Typing I and II, Shorthand I and II, Bookkeeping I, and vocational bookkeeping and office practice. The clubâs main project was to prepare a list, compiled from date sheets through personal in- terviews, of jobs open to graduates in and around Culpeper. This list included such things as personal qualifications and subject requirements. With the experience obtained in F. B. L. A. each member felt as if he would be a better business leader of tomorrow. 1 53 y 014 Club (jetA fleu flame, fleu A4tiAer First row, left to right: V. Soutter, J. James, E. Hitt, H. Myers, M.

Not only did it have a new name, but it also had a new adviser, Mrs. Thomas E. Sweet, and a new president, Elizabeth Hitt. With all these ânewsâ the club worked harder than ever on added activities. To promote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfaction of homemaking, to work for a good home and family life for all, and to further interest in home economics â these were the objectives of the F. H. A. In order that they might carry out these objectives, the F. H. A. spon- sored a social hour for the parents so that they could become more familiar with the homemak- ing program. During the school year they had an interesting bulletin board for two weeks and also gave an assembly entitled, âCourtesy in the Home.â Through their F. H. A. work they made homes safer and more livable and home life more enjoyable. They also observed National F. H. A. Week. With the experience the club gave them, the members became better homemakers for their future homes. 54 J. J.J. l. WiwA JcreAtrif CchteJt First row, left to right: Mr. R. R. Tolbert, S. James, J.

Tolbert j President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Reporter Sentinel Advisers In order that each Future Farmer of America might carry out the objectives of F.F.A., the club, with James Gorman as president, set up certain standards that each member tried to reach. Under supervised farming, each member owned and carried enterprises, did supplementary farm jobs, and engaged in improvement projects, which were all based on long term programs. The hardest job under these projects was to keep an accurate account of all activities. The F.F.A. cooperated with all agricultural agencies in order to promote agriculture in the community. They cooperated with other federation members in holding contests and with the F.H.A. in activities. The club also conserved farm machinery through repairs and farm shops. In practicing good leadership activities, the F.F.A. entered contests which furthered leadership ability and sponsored money-making projects. They won the district forestry contest. Each member also set a goal for earnings and for saving out of these earnings. The F.F.A. members felt as if this were one goal each student could well set up. In addition, each eligible member applied for a college scholarship; and in order to promote scholarship in the school, the F.F.A. cooperated with all school members and the faculty. Through his chapter of the F.F.A., each future farmer did his best to become a better farmer. d 55 J- PemjtnaH Attend fcLsMbutcr â Contention First row, left to right: V. Arnold, B. Thompson, L.

Thomas, Jr Adviser Members of the Distributorsâ Club were drawn from the distributive education class. After spending the morning in school, members of the D.E. class worked in Culpeper in the afternoons and on Saturdays. This training was a part of their school work. One of the objectives â to provide students with the opportunity for developing projects, hold- ing social events, and participating in high school programs â was displayed in the social meeting they had. With the outside speakers in the class and the many field trips the club exerted un- daunted efforts to carry out their purpose. The D. E. Club ' s monthly business meeting gave each member a knowledge of parliamen- tary procedure, another of the clubâs objectives. In order that each student might become a bettter citizen of the community, Maude Perryman and other members attended the Distributorsâ Club Convention which was held in Richmond and the Area Convention which was in Charlottesville. Each class meeting and each club meeting gave the D. E. students a well-rounded view of re- tailing. Through the leadership of Betty Thompson and under the guidance of Mrs. H. M. Thomas, Jr., the D. E. Club showed that the combination of theory and practice broadened one ' s view- point. i 56 y JS. 0. lftletnlterA Cuyaye in VariouA Trade A First row, left to right: W. O ' Bannon, W. Jenkins, R.

Although the D. O. Club, composed of boys enrolled in diversified occupations, was only in its second year and was limited in membership because of a small senior class, its members did a thorough job in all fields. Headed by William O ' Bannon, the club made an earnest endeavor to expand each studentâs knowledge and understanding of common problems. At their club meetings, they developed and practiced good parliamentary procedure. Within their class an atmosphere of stability and self- confidence was found. Guidance and individual help was given to each member and each was encouraged to improve his scholastic standing. Because they were being trained for future work, they cultivated a friendly and cooperative spirit among their future employers. In class discussion, the D. O. students studied various vocational activities, especially those fields which they would enter. When working with each phase of industry, the advantages and disadvantages and comparisons and contrasts of each were thoroughly discussed. Throughout the year the members of the D. O. Club worked to prepare themselves for the vocation which they would follow. d57h Club Chfaye in Varied rfctiritieJ 1. J. Kilby. M. Perryman. S. Harlow, R. Herbert. 2. M. Fincham. M. Button, B.

' â Ralph Waldo Emerson Games and contests promote amity both among the players themselves and among players and spectators. Boys and girls participating in athletics learn true sportsmanship and acquire friends within their own school and other schools and communities. The new gymnasium was the fulfillment of the dream of both player and spec- tator and the scene of intramural games at activity period, informal play at the noon hour, or interscholastic scheduled games. Whether the reader be a player on the floor or a spectator in the bleachers, the pages of the sports section will help keep alive memories of activities shared by friends. d 59 E Slue faetiU Win ÂŁix (jameA, ÂŁcJe Three Front row, left to right: F.

Thompson Secretary To become a member of the Boysâ Monogram Club a student must have received a letter in football, basketball, baseball, or track. To receive a letter in football or basketball he must have played over half the quarters of the games. He must have played over half the innings in baseball to win a letter. In track he must have scored ten points to win his letter. A student may win a letter from each sport. When he received his letter, he automatically became a member of the Monogram Cluh. To be a full fledged member the student has to be initiated by the old members of the club. The initiation, which lasted for two days, took place soon after the Christmas holidays. During this time the initiates had to wear crazy outfits and do anything the old members told them to do. Some of the things a student had to do were to push a penny with his nose, have races, sing, and dance. On the second day of initiation the new members had to put on a talent show for the entire school. If the new members did not do their part they were paddled severely and made to perform anyway. The Monogram Club had a basketball team which played in intramural games. This club, sponsored by Mr. A. T. Howard, Jr., is one of the oldest organizations in school. { 70 y (jirL ' iflchcgratn Dhttamral (jam J First row, left to right: D. Gore, M. Myers, P. Jenkins, L. Deal, J. Wood, M. Perryman, E.

As well as officiating at these games, members coached the teams. Their purpose was to heighten interest in sports among the girls of Culpeper High School. Organization teams included Pepergram coached by Ann Kennedy, Library Club coached by Martha Ann Colvin, and Tri-Hi-Y coached by Margaret Fincham. The eighth grade teams that participated in the program were Miss Sutton Blandâs home room coached by Lois Deal, Mr. Colie Rockâs home room coached by Margaret Myers, Miss Love Bentleyâs home room coached by Catherine Jenkins, and Mrs. Werter Hurtâs home room coached by Martha Ann Colvin. Juanita Payne and Mary Ellen Baumgardner coached the first period physical education class team; Pauline Jenkins, the second period class; Anna Lee Martin, the fifth period team; and June Wood and Lois Domazet coached the sixth period class team.

In every school year there are the unusual moments which students will want always to cherish. As well as the unexpected and unpredictable, there are also the usual happenings and activities that they want to recall. Their interest in these in- cidents lies not always in the fact that they took a lead in them but perhaps in the satisfaction that they gained from sharing them with their friends. âSchool Lifeâ attempts to catch the friendly spirit of boys and girls as they whiled away the hours of fun at the Junior-Senior Prom or as they proudly listened to speakers at the dedication of the new school. d 75 F Cclcmade (Zecwfa tfear ptf 1949-50 After two delays due to the sewer line not having been completed, the doors of the new Culpeper County High School opened for the 1949-1950 session on September 16, with a Washington Post reporter on hand. Other events on the September calendar included the initial football game when the Blue Devils won over Madison 26-6 and the annual candlelighting service to induct S.C.A. officers on September 30. October 7 gave pupils a double feature â a holiday while teachers attended district meeting in Alexan- dria and a Blue Devil 74-0 defeat of Luray that night. On October 11, indoor rooms marked âBoysâ and âGirlsâ were opened and the students saw the Junior Varsity defeat Louisa in an afternoon game on school time. The secretary to the principal, Miss Ashby Griffin, initiated a series of faculty weddings when she became Mrs. M. M. Mitchell on October 15. Other October happenings included the first issue of the Pepergram on October 17; open house for all outsiders to see the new school the night of October 20; a Blue Devil victory over Front Royal on Octo- ber 21 and a 27-0 defeat at the hands of Fredericksburgâs gridders on October 28, in spite of âAlexanderâsâ having been burned in effigy the night before. November opened with Colonnade pictures being taken November 1 and 2. Culpeper won its last home game â Culpeper 14, Falls Church 12. The S. C. A. sponsored Parentsâ Night November 8, and parents went back to school. The Blue Devils Journeyed to Fairfax to come up with a 25-13 victory on November 11, but lost the last game at Glen Allen November 18 â Glen Allen 54, Culpeper 12. Miss Joan Lane, in the second faculty wedding, became Mrs. Hobart McKinley Thomas November 18, and students and faculty members celebrated Thanksgiving with a school holiday November 24-28. Events in December followed in close succession. The S. C. A. Council sponsored the first dance in the new gym December 2. The Culpeper Safety Council and the Rescue Squad simulated an automobile ac- cident December 6 on the football field as part of a safety program. Serving all Spanish food, the Spanish I class gave the Spanish II class a dinner in the cafeteria December 7. A Roth program in the morning and a county teachers ' meeting in the afternoon made December 8 a red letter day for the pupils. The first boysâ basketball game in the spacious gymnasium was a Culpeper victory over Manassas, 29-22. December 14 saw the school crowded with town and county officials, civic and educational leaders, and other visitors as Culpeper Countyâs new $700,000 high school was dedicated. Few students will forget âGod Bless This House,â sung by Mrs. Richard Lamb and the laudatory remarks that flowed from the speakersâ tongues. Just before the doors were closed on December 22 for Christmas holidays, parties were the order of the day and chief among these was the party with a pinata given the Spanish I class by Spanish II. On January 3, school convened at 9 A.M., but the monotony of school life was broken by the famous magician â Thomas Magrum in a Roth program January 4. That same day the Colonnade Staff gave its radio program, one of a series put on by the Culpeper County schools each Wednesday evening. More pictures were taken for the Colonnade January 20; the girlsâ basketball teams won games from Manassas on school time that afternoon; and the boys lost that night to Fredericksburg 64-37. Spotsylvania came to Culpeper January 24 to be defeated 55-36. Comprehensive tests, January 27 to February 2, crowded out everything else, and the new term started February 3, with the Blue Devils falling before the Fredericksburg quintet that night, 42-36. The Dramatic Club gave âAunt Samanthy Rules the Roostââ February 9 in the gymnasium. The next night the Hi-Yâs and their guests danced under red and white streamers in their annual Sweetheart Cotil- lion. The Chicago Brass Quartet entertained the student body on February 13, and the Spotsylvania quin- tet suffered their second defeat from Culpeper the next night. The Blue Devils closed their season attend- ing the District Tournament at Randolph Macon, and the girls ended a successful season by defeating Warrenton March 7. The Colonnade went to press March 4, and J. Phillip Robertson, the musicologist, presented a program March 7. The Spanish Clubs gave a dance for the student body March 17. The school put on its company manners as a committee of ten spent March 20, 21, and 22 in the school to evaluate it and its activities. Miss Ellen McMullan, the yearâs third faculty bride, toured the western states with her new husband, Mr. Robert Graves, and the Easter holiday April 6-11 gave everyone a spring vacation. The S. C. A. played host to the Fredericksburg District meeting on April 14. The senior class dramatists exhibited their skill in P oarding House Reach directed by Mrs. Gordon Witt, April 21, and the next weekend saw the Pepergram and Colonnade staffs go to S. I. P. A. in Lexington April 28-30. The chief social affair of May was the Junior-Senior Prom May 5. Events that closed the school year included Class Day June 9, sermon for the seniors June 11, and graduation June 12. 4 76 J- Ifeu ÂŁchccl bedicated beceniber 14 1. Dr. Dabney Lancaster. 2.

Before a large contingent of Culpeper people, including the Board of Supervisors, the County School Board, the Mayor of Culpeper, town officials, many other citizens, and a number of distinguished visitors, including the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dowell J. Howard, the dedication of Culpeper County High School took place in the auditorium-gymnasium on December 14, 1949 at 2 P.M. Supt. Paul Hounshell presided over the program and introduced Mr. William H. Eggborn, chairman of the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors, who said that the board he represented had seen the necessity of this building as far back as 1942 and had been working towards such a building. Mr. Eggborn said that he and all those who had worked for the building were proud to have had a part in building the school to which every citizen could point with pride. Superintendent Hounshell then presented Senator Robert Button who in turn presented the speaker. Dr. Dabney Lancaster, president of Longwood College; whose text was taken from Psalm 127:1, âExcept the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.â He also stated, âOur democracy is dependent upon the education of the people.â In conclusion he congratulated the superintendent and the people of Culpeper County on having the present consolidated High School. He said, âIt is an example for the state to follow.â The program closed with a very appropriate song, âBless This House,â by Mrs. Richard Lamb with Mrs. H. S. Dyer at the piano. Previously, the Glee Club had sung âThe Builder.â 4 77 b The Colonnade Congratulate A 1. P. Borst, M. Deal, M. Quaintance, J. Bolen, ). Carpenter, S. Payne, R. Loy, T. Hawkins, C. Stanley. T.

By remote control the program was given from the stage of the high school gym with the entire high school as the studio audience. Appearing on the inaugural presentation of âThis Day were Marshall Sophia, as announcer, Lois Doyle, William Gilbert, and Joe Knakal. These prog rams presented a chronicle of American events, high- lights of history, in the narrative of the nation. Besides the world history class four other classes took turns in presenting the program, and more than 115 boys and girls appeared one or more times on the program. These students were enrolled in the other third period classes; namely. Miss Gertrude Lewisâ third year English, Miss Ellen McMullan ' s second year English, Miss Love Bentleyâs speech and dramatics, and Mr. Floyd Binnsâ United States history. 4 79}- Senior. i ChccAe IJtcAt T epical Best All Around That ' s the way to go; get him in the kitchen.

Carrying out a color scheme of red and white, streamers ran from side baskets to end ones, and huge red hearts adorned the front of each basket. Chairs, placed around the floor enclosed an oval space for dancing. Refreshments consisting of punch, cookies, and Valentine candy carried out the red and white color scheme.

The Junior-Senior Prom of 1950 held on May 5 was the first to be given in the new gym. The execu- tive committee of the Junior Class met early in February to determine the theme for the âbiggest dance of the year. ' The class, led by David Guinn, president; J. H. Payne, vice-president; Ann Colvin, secretary; and Bobby Loy, treasurer, worked from September to the time of the prom to secure the money needed. In partnership with the Junior Chamber of Commerce they sponsored Bob Porterfield ' s Barter Theater players in You Canât Take It With You. In addition, they sponsored a movie, sold Christmas cards and stationery, and gave a talent show. For the third consecutive year Connor C. Phillips and his âCavaliers orchestra provided the music. d 82 )âș Seek VI ADVERTISEMENTS âAs you grow ready for it, somewhere or other you will find what is needful for you in a boot ( or in a friend.â â George McDonald. The staff feels that local merchants and other business firms are indeed their friends. In the years to come students will still be patronizing the same stores, or maybe, they will be employed in them. Thatâs why it is so very significant that stu- dents are friends with the merchants now. Without the appreciation and faithful support of these businessmen, the work of the staff and other school activities could not be as extensive as they are now. The staff, ever mindful of benefits other than financial to be gained through the association of businessmen and school, presents with pride a friendly community through its advertisements. -i 83 h OWEN MOTOR SALES Your STUDEBAKER Dealer CULPEPER 51 1 N.
