THIS COLONNADE BELONGS TO i-un, WL WTfi THE 1954 COLONNADE Published by the Students of Culpeper County High School Culpeper, Virginia Sandra Kerrick, Editor Ellen Hossley, Business Manager Miss Mary George Bolen, Adviser What Was Culpeper High In 1953-54? What was Culpeper High in 1953-54? The staff of the 1954 Colon made has undertaken to answer this question by presenting a complete record of the school t ear of 1953-54 in Culpeper County High School and one that could be con- sidered a typical school year. This record will preserve down through the years the fact that the year was a memorable and exciting one marked by the cooperation and interest of parents, teach- ers, and students, sharing responsibility in difficul- ties or enjoying pleasant moments, whether in the academic or extracurricular field. Though it was an impossibility to include every little detail of the school year, the most im- portant are depicted in this yearbook. Every ac- tivity went to make up a successful and prosperous school year for the school and community. It is the wish of the staff that the book will serve its readers both as a record and a memory book of those activities. • £■{ 4 X.

Ci ti £■ ■ CHAPTER I THE ADMINISTRATION AND FAC- ULTY gave guidance and direction in each phase of school activities to help make Culpeper High School what it was in 1953-54. Each was interested in the welfare of the school and the students of this community. Students found them capable, willing and helpful, giving the best pos- sible directions at all times. They cheerfully went beyond the call of duty to aid their sub- jects, and all respected the rights of the indi- vidual pupil. Through this superb guidance the students learned to travel the road of good school and community citizenship. Besides a principal, an assistant principal, and a secretary in the ad- ministrative office, the faculty included sufficient instructors to provide a teacher for every 23 students for classroom work and efficient coun- seling and guidance service. One or more faculty members served as advisers or assistant adviser, to one, two, or even three of the clubs and other organizations. 7 Administrators Direct School Affairs Mr. Raphael H.

Culpeper County High School provided a variety of subjects and opportunities for its stu- dents. Certain basic subjects were required, but students were allowed to select from a list of electives a sufficient number of studies to round out their curriculum for the sixteen Carnegie units needed for graduation. I he eighth grade did not provide any of these credits. Work in this bracket was largely exploratory. The first of three courses offered was the col- lege preparatory designed for those who planned to continue their education beyond high school. These students studied four years of English; two years each of science, algebra, and physical education ; one year each of plane geometry, United States history, and senior civics. Usually two years of Latin and or two years of Spanish were among the electives. The other electives were selected on the basis of the career or college of the individual student’s choice. To be eligible for college recommendation, a student must have made a “C” average or better on his academic work. To maintain this average was a challenge for each college-bound student. 2 ( 1 + } As Top Necessity Spanish students concentrate on English-Spanish translation. Boys acquire a foundation of physics. Attending school in Culpeper, Virginia, was definitely not all play. Classes were a great necessity. Within the limits of each of the six fifty-minute periods, one engaged in activities from which he gained information and experience designed to build good citizens. I hree specific courses were offered to students. I hese were commercial, college preparatory, and general. Upon entering high school, each student chose one of these three around which his schedule of classes was planned each year. Eighth graders received report cards at the close of every nine weeks, while the other high school students were issued these reports once every six weeks. Tests were given in each class at the end of these grading periods. At the end of each term, every C. H. S. student took a two- hour examination on each subject. His grades for the preceding semester deter- mined the extent to which each individual could participate in extracurricular activities. This par- ticipation was based on the point system. Any- one making below “B was limited to twelve points, while those making “A’s” and “BV were allowed more points. $ 15 )• For the Development Typing I students take speed test. Eighth grader in exploratory art class gives report on an artist. 1 he second course offered was the commercial course. Those students not planning to attend college, but desiring to enter the secretarial or commercial field after finishing high school, selected this course. Some of these students will continue their schooling in a business school. All these students must be careful, accurate, and speedy workers. Students majoring in this course took four years in Knglish ; two years each of typing and shorthand ; one year each of l nited States his- tory, senior civics, general mathematics, business arithmetic, science, general business, bookkeeping. and vocational office training. These students also were given the opportunity to choose electives which ranged from art, band, and journalism to shop. To secure the best jobs, the individual had to do his best in all subjects. Though employment is not always based on grades, they usually help a great deal. Regardless of course, all students were graded on conduct. If one received an average of un- satisfactory on conduct, he was ineligible to hold an office in an extracurricular activity. Of 16 } Of Future Citizens General Shop I students work at machines. Hostess prepares to serve meal to classmates in homemaking. Within the third course, the general course which is considered the basic high school course, students could find a broad and varied program. I his course developed good citizens, whether homemaker, farmer, carpenter, or some other trade. 1 hese pupils usually had no desire to enter the college or commercial field. In this field a student took four years of Lnglish, two years of mathematics, and one year each of United States history, senior civics, and science. Each was allowed seven electives. Home economics, diversified occupations, shop, and dis- tributive education were the basic vocational classes for all. Whether a student chose the college prepara- tory, commercial, or general course, he strove to attain the honor roll standards. To be placed on this distinguished list one must have received at least a “B ”, above average, on each subject, and satisfactory on conduct, attitude, and effort in each class. This list was compiled after each grading period whether six or nine weeks. It was considered a great honor for a student to make the honor roll.

Numbering 620, highest en- rollment in the history of the school, the 1953-54 student body, noted for enthusiasm and ability, was not only outstanding in number but also character. In curriculum, clubs, sports, or school life, they were the important factor. Spending most of their time in classes during school hours, students developed friendships, ac- cepted new ideas, and formed work habits. After school time — Friday night football and later 1 uesday and Friday basketball games, dances or other scheduled school functions — consumed their waking hours. When nothing was happening on week ends at Culpeper High many students were at Pitts’ T heatre or found time to stop by Baby Jim’s and Lewis’ Pharmacy, or some other favor- ite snack bars. T he fads of the year were many and various. One saw girls wearing rolled up socks and short haircuts or pony tail hair-dos. T he fads seen among the masculine species were white buck shoes, and charcoal suits for dress. Loud plaid shirts or T-shirts, and Argyle socks continued to be popular for school wear. 4 19 Front Row: H. Hicks, D. Haught, J. Bailey. Second Row: Mr. F. Binns, M. Callahan.

As they look back, they realize that they are the first class to complete five years in this building. During their C. H. S. career they have ac- complished many things which have brought glory to this school. In their junior year they slaved over the prom — to be told later by the seniors that it was the prettiest and best dance ever held in this building. Then when they got to be seniors they found that they had a celebrity in their midst. The National F. B. L. A. president was in their class — the first national officer in the history of C. H. S. Two new basketball scoring records were set by two- of them. And for the Senior Play, they presented a drama. “Little Women” — a break from the traditional slap-stick comedy of previous years. May Day festivities were inaugurated this year, with seniors filling the royal positions of king and queen. Commencement came, and eyes were wet as they sang the class song and marched out for the last time. They are gone, but their spirits will linger in the halls of C. H.

H. S. where the curriculum left off. Each organization contributed something, even if it were only small, in rounding out the year 1953-54. Accepting the fact that education consisted of more than the three R’s, today’s educators and students have undertaken to provide adequate clubs and activi- ties so that every individual may find his place in an extracurricular activity and be benefited by its work. Clubs held their meetings during the 30 minute activity periods on the specific days designated on the school activity calendar with at least one starred meeting a month, attendance being com- pulsory at starred meetings. All clubs gave their members training in cooperation, school spirit, and the ability to get along with others. The clubs helped to develop better faculty-student re- lations and teachers planned and worked to- gether. Evidences of the good work in clubs were seen throughout the school year on bulletin boards, at assemblies, in Home-Coming and May Day celebrations, and participation in manifold daily events. ■{ 49 f Prexies Direct Varied Activities Trip Row: E.

Vice President Secretary Treasurer Adviser Adding to its agenda many new activities, the Student Cooperative Association set up a teen- age committee to discover and solve teen-age problems. Other new activities included a special meeting for club reporters, new system of recog- nition for cleaning school grounds, flag raising ceremony, revision of the qualifications for S. C. A. officers, assisting with the District Teachers’ meetings held here, and sending Sandra Kerrick as chairman for District meeting at Fredericksburg, Virginia. For the third consecutive year, the S. C. A. co-sponsored the Home-Coming festivities. This gala event was held October 22-23. 1 he alumni program, at which plans were made for or- ganizing an alumni association, was given 1 hurs- day evening, October 22, featuring the Class of 1918. A roll call of classes was taken, and the members of the Class of 1919 were presented with tickets to the football game for having the largest percentage of members present. On the following day, October 23, the great Home-Coming Parade was held. Float judges awarded first place to the float of the F. F. A. and F. H. A. Clubs, second place going to the Pan American Club. Climax of the gala week end was the football game between Culpeper and Fredericksburg. Rose Meadows was crowned Queen Home-Coming 111 by Mr. Powhie Kelly, Class of 18, at halftime. The band, led by Captain Ellsworth Bowler, who presented an exhibition of fire baton twirling, entertained at halftime. David Haught, Ann Griffin, Barbara Dulin, Kathleen Yancey, and Ellen Hossley also at- tended the District Meeting at Fredericksburg, 52 Virginia, at which Sandra presided. The State Convention held in Radford, Virginia, March 1 9-20, drew several C. H. S. members. Ellen Hossley, local president, was chosen to serve as one of the two hostesses from Northern Virginia to the foreign students who were guests in this country of the New York Herald Tribune. Ellen accompanied these thirty-two foreign students on a sight-seeing tour of Washington, D. C., Wil- liamsburg, and Richmond, Virginia, on February 19. The next day, she served on the panel of the Miller and Rhoads and the New York Herald Tribune Forum in Richmond at which time the problems of youth in this country were compared with those of countries abroad. Stanley Hoffman, Sandra Kerrick, Ann Griffin, Barbara Dulin, CHAIRMEN OF and Jesse Yowell attended the State Forum. New ideas introduced in assemblies this year included “Call to Colors” played on a trumpet, National and State flags brought in by two flag bearers, Pledge of Allegiance, and the singing of the National Anthem. The S. C. A. held its installation service on Friday, September 25. File Rev. Francis W. Burke, rector of St. Thomas’s Episcopal Church in Orange addressed the student body and faculty following the installation. Using for his topic, “ 1 ' he Four Roads of Life” — truth, sorrow, serv- ice beyond the call of duty, and recognition of Christ — Rev. Burke cited the routes that all eventually travel if they would go through life happily and successfully reach their destination. COMMITTEES Carol Doyle Kathleen Yancey. . .

Houck Mr. Woodrow Favre . . .Editor-in-Chief Business Manager A dviser Assistant Advisers Inspired by the thrill of having won the coveted S. I. P. A. trophy in April, 1953, for the ’52 Colonnade edited by Lois Doyle, the ' 54 Colonnade staff set to work at the beginning of the year to continue the good work of previous staffs. When Sandra Kerrick, the ’54 editor-in- chief, received from the hands of Professor O. W. Riegel, of Washington and Lee Univer- sity, the trophy for the Southern Interscholastic Press Association award, this was the first time that a Culpeper High School publication had ever won an S. I. P. A. trophy. The ’53 Colonnade, edited by Page Borst, also received recognition when it won a first place rating by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Early in the year Sandra was busy planning the book’s layout and working out a theme. The cover and theme were kept a secret by the editor and adviser until Class Day, a day to which all Culpeper High School looked forward. Right on the job with Sandra was Ellen Hossley, busi- ness manager. Her job was that of setting up a budget and keeping a record of all income and expenditures. The business manager also served as over-all head of the advertising and circulation of the yearbook. Nancy Hopkins in charge of the class section, saw that each student had a picture taken and collected senior information. Margaret Harding gathered data concerning each organization. Ann Griffin with one of the staff photographers could be found at every sports activity taking notes and snapshots to be used in her sports section. Jesse Yowell ' s job was to record in word and picture every phase of school life. Sarah Haught, index editor, was constantly alphabetizing cards and seeking addresses. Katherine Smith, advertising manager, was right on the job soliciting ads from local business firms. Lucille Blankenbaker and her circulation staff were working on subscriptions in September. The typists, under the leadership of Dorothy Smith and supervised by Mrs. W. A. Houck, were always willing to do what typing was neces- sary. This typing job was indeed a tedious one. •� 5 ( 54 With the coming of the week end of April 30, the Colonnade delegates were once again travel- ing to Lexington in hopes of capturing another trophy and obtaining some excellent suggestions for the publication of the ’55 Colonnade. Rep- resentatives from the staff included Miss Mary (ieorge Rolen, Sandra Kerrick, Margaret Hard- ing, Ann Griffin, and Joel Burke. N. S. P. A. awards were presented to the staff at the annual banquet in May when each member also received his Colonnade ahead of general circulation the next day. It was at the banquet that the entire staff learned the person chosen for the dedication. Following the custom of previous years of having as guest one organi- zation’s president and adviser, the Senior Class president and home room teachers were invited to this year’s fete.

Mary Robeson Jane Carpenter Miss Gertrude Lewis Co-Editors Business Manager A dviser “Wonder who this month’s ' personaliteens’ are ? W onder who the lucky boy and girl were this month ?” were some of the questions asked by the student body. Yes, they looked forward to receiving their school papers and scanning through them to see among the other things who the personalities of the month were. These stu- dents were chosen by the Pepergram Staff on the basis of scholarship, personality, and participation in school activities. Other new items in the 1953-54 Pepergram were the “Sports Shorts’’ on the sports page and the “Crazy Red Riding Hood and Real Gone Wolf” series. The business section of the staff played an important part in seeing that the paper went to press, for without the sale of ads, the paper could not have been financed. In fact, under the leadership of Nancy Jeffries, advertising mana- ger, they sold the largest number of ads in the Pepergram ' s history. They tried a new policy this year by having all advertisements at least two inches or over. Jane Carpenter was in charge of the Business Staff. Approximately 725 copies of each issue were circulated. Many of these Pepergrams were sold to alumni in Culpeper and surrounding areas, in colleges, and in the armed forces, who wanted to know what their alma mater was doing. Although the entire Pepergram staff worked on the paper, most of the planning, writing and rewriting copy and headlines, proofreading and make-up of the paper was done in journalism class. Immediately after the publication of each paper, the journalism class made up the assign- ment sheet for the next issue. After the staff members completed assignments, journalism stu- dents checked, rewrote, and prepared copy for the printer. The proofreading job had to be done twice; first, there was the galley proof and 56 Sports Editors then the page proof. The editors worked long hours preparing the dummy to make the paper as attractive and as interesting as possible. S. I. P. A. was held at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia, the weekend of April 30. Miss Gertrude Lewis along with Frasia Trice, Audrey Covell, Kathleen Yancey, Ellen Gaines, attended this convention and car- ried with them three consecutive issues of the Pepergram to be judged in the competition. The staff felt as if they gained much from this convention. They had received concrete suggestions from experienced journalists and had exchanged ideas with other high school and prep school journalists. S. I. P. A. broadened students’ knowledge of current affairs and the literary and artistic accomplishments of certain well- known writers and cartoonists.

Tri-Hi- Y Observes Nancy Hopkins Ethel Fincham Jane Carpenter Dorothy Smith Elizabeth Apperson Mrs. Franklin Rosson Y.M.C.A. Week President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Chaplain Adviser The Tri-Hi-Y Club observed National Y. AT C. A. week February 1-5 with a bulletin board stressing the club’s platform, and panel dis- cussions at assembly with students, teachers, and parents using topics from Teen Talk. The Tri-Hi-Y Club adopted a child this year to whom they sent Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter baskets. They remembered her on her birthday and took her to an Easter service. The installation and induction services for the forthcoming 1954-55 Tri-Hi-Y officers were held at the Mother-Daughter Banquet in May. Selling pennants at the Home-Coming game and sandwiches at basketball games were other new activities of the 1953-54 Tri-Hi-Y. A radio program, Darius, the Hunchback, was presented by Beverley Carpenter, Emily Rogers, and Shirley Stultz on December 23 over WCVA. “Bethle- hem,” a Christmas pageant, presented by the eighth grade, was sponsored by the Tri-Hi-Y and H i-Y Clubs, December 18, at the annual Christ- mas assembly. Delegates Nancy Hopkins, Rose Meadows, and Margaret Harding attended the District Conference at Charlottesville, Virginia, Novem- ber 14-15. The Tri-Hi-Y sent two delegates, Barbara and Peggy Dulin, and a reporter, Nancy Jeffries, to the Model General Assembly at Rich- mond, Virginia, April 22, 23, and 24. Special Holy Week Services, 8:309:00 o ' clock, were held each morning before school in the gymnasium and an Easter bulletin board was decorated the week of April 10. A special Easter assembly was presented April 15. The Tri-Hi-Y Club voted a picnic to be held at Brand-Alan” in the summer to plan the program for 1954-55. ${ 58 }£ Hi-Y Sponsors Sadie Hawkins Dance The Sadie Hawkins theme dominated the dance given by the Hi-Y Clubs on November 21 in the Culpeper High School Cafeteria, which had been decorated to look like a barn. 1 he girls and boys wore dungarees and resembled Daisy Maes and Li’l Abners. Candidates from each class had been chosen to compete for the title of the typical Daisy Mae and Li’l Abner. The first choice was Genevieve Edwards and M anuel Dillard. Square dance figures were called bv Mr.J antes Stover, Physical Education Instructor. The girls bought their dates sandwiches, cookies, and cokes. Jesse Yowell, president of the Culpeper High School Hi-Y, was elected vice president of the District IV Hi-Y Clubs at the district conven- tion held at Lane High School auditorium in Charlottesville on November 14. Frasia Trice, M errill Crews, and James Combs also attended this convention as delegates from Culpeper. The Hi-Y Clubs provided an orchestra at the annual Sweetheart Cotillion which was held on February 12. Mr. James Logan, former C. H. S. music instructor, and his dance band of Luray High School furnished the music; and judging by the excellent attendance at this cotillion, the Hi-Y felt as if the dance was greatly enjoyed by all. The Hi-Y Clubs’ members sponsored teen talks for the students of the eighth and ninth grades. Members of the two clubs spoke as well as outside speakers. Cooperating with the Tri-Hi-Y, the club gave the annual Christmas Dance to which each per- son brought a can of food or a toy for the com- munity Christmas project. Another united ac- tivity of the two clubs was the second Halloween Carnival held in October. This was another activity which helped to furnish money for the gala Sweetheart Cotillion.

Lawrence Leavell. Kathleen Yancey Edith Cunningham Mr. Walter Thomas President .... Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Librarian Accompanists Director Opening the Christmas Concert, the 38-mem- ber Glee Club sang “The Lord’s Prayer. The setting for the vocal numbers at this concert was a living room at Christmas with an informal group singing carols and other Christmas songs. Some of the selections were as follows: “Joy to the World,’’ “O Come, All e Faithful, “Blue Christmas,” and “Winter Wonderland.” The music lovers who attended these concerts greatly enjoyed the efforts of the choristers. The Glee Club made their first public appear- ance as a group at the alumni reception held during the Home-Coming festivities. They sang “You ' ll Never Walk Alone,” “Desert Song, and “Make Believe.” Former students partic- ularly enjoyed the alumni version of “Grand- father’s Clock” which the Glee Club prepared especially for this occasion. Immediately after returning from Christmas vacation, the Glee Club began preparations for the District Choral Music Festival held at Bridgewater College, Bridgewater, Virginia, on M arch 1 3. Kathryn Brown and Kyle Gibbs, soloists, rendered selections in the individual com- petition, and the club was judged as a group. L T nder the guidance of their new director, Mr. Walter Thomas, and accompanied by Kathleen Yancey and Edith Cunningham, the 1953-54 choristers sang at the senior play, school assem- blies, the Farmers ' Cooperative Association an- nual meeting, and the Spring Concert. A committee from the Glee Club had charge of planning and decorating a queen’s float for Home-Coming. The float consisted of white- covered tiers on which the four runners-up sat, and a chair elevated on top for the queen. The Glee Club made a very picturesque ap- pearance whenever they appeared in their maroon robes, white collars, and gloves as they rendered semi-classical as well as modern arrangements. Climaxing an eventful year, the Glee Club sang at Baccalaureate Sermon and rendered “Halls of Ivy” for the seniors on graduation night. 60 Junior Choristers Sing Thrice Weekly James Weakley Mary Carder Joyce Cropp Priscilla Rosenberger Marilyn McInturff Ann Rawlings Mrs. M. H. Warren Adviser President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Librarian Accompanists Composed of approximately fifty eighth and ninth graders, the Junior Glee Club held its meetings in the cafeteria on Mondays, Wednes- days, and Thursdays under the direction of Mrs. M. H. Warren. Appearing for the first time as a group, the Junior Choristers presented a play at an assembly program on February 11. The play was a short skit in the form of a radio pro- gram. Kathryn Brown was featured as guest soloist at this musical program and sang “A Birthday,” a classical number. James Weakley announced the entire program which consisted of the following numbers: ‘‘I See the Moon,” “Y ou ' re Just in Love,” ‘‘Changing Partners,” and ‘‘Love Walked In.” Mrs. M. H. Warren also accompanied the singers. The Junior Glee Club sent Judy Myers and Ellen MacMahon to the District Musical Festi- val at Bridgewater College, Bridgewater, Vir- ginia, on March 13. On their annual radio pro- gram, the club presented two chorus numbers and three specials on April 28 over the local radio station, WCVA. Elizabeth Burton, Linda O’N eal, Priscilla Rosenberger, Judy Mvers, Ellen M acMahon, Jovce Cropp, Janet Hefiin, Nancv M yers, Cordelia Crosman, Paula Hawkins, Peggy Jenkins, and Christine H aught sang special parts at this radio program. One of the few clubs to change officers at mid- term, the Junior Singers were led in the first term by Donna Callahan, president ; and Vir- ginia Parker, vice president. The Junior Choristers marched as a unit in the third annual Home-Coming parade carrying banners to support the Blue Devils. They ren- dered a special number at Graduation Exercises for the seniors.

Band Gives Skyglow Concert Ellsworth Bowler . . Jesse Yowell David Haught Kenneth McGhee. . . Ellsworth Bowler . Evelyn Edwards Mr. W alter Thomas Captain . . First Lieutenant Second Leiutenant Librarian Drum Major . Drum Majorette Director The Culpeper High School Baud, under the direction of Mr. Walter Thomas, gave a concert at the town’s celebration of Skyglow Operation in Culpeper on November 13. They also marched in the colorful parade down Main Street pre- ceded by the C. H. S. majorettes. Their colorful uniforms, marching music, and rhythmic parading added much to the gala event. The first public performance of the Band and majorettes began with the first home football game against Augusta Military Academy. They performed at every home game and several of the away games during the season. I he new majorettes included Katherine Wilson, Barbara King, Patricia Kilby, and Mary Thompson. Patricia N ichols, a student of the Ann Wingfield Elementary School, served as mascot to the regu- lar C. H. S. majorettes. Though Patricia was small this was not a hindrance to her durability. She was at all practices of the regular majorettes, and she participated in every parade. Patricia has an excellent future ahead of her as a major- ette. Christopher Geest, David Haught, and Ells- worth Bowler, three of C. H. S.’s seniors, at- tended All-State Band February 5, 6, and 7 at Washington and Lee High School in Arlington, Virginia. It was Christopher’s fourth year in All-State Band, where playing the clarinet, he had been selected as a member of the Concert 4 62 Hand each time. David Haught, playing the baritone horn, won for the first time a seat in the Concert Band. Christopher competed against 51 contestants and David against eight. Ells- worth was placed in the Work Shop Hand. The Culpeper High School Band participated in the annual Christmas and Spring Concerts. The Band’s part of the program for the Spring Concert was composed of Rogers and Hammer- stein selections, which were popular favorites. The Ann Wingfield Band also took part in this program. The Alumni Reception, Home-Coming Parade, Christmas Parade, and District Music Festival were other occasions at which the Culpeper High School Band performed. The Band went on the air late in the spring when it broadcast over WCVA on the program, “Our Schools on Pa- rade,’’ a weekly feature sponsored by the Cul- peper County Education Association. O11 each occasion spectators remarked on the growth and improvement of the organization. A new band period was added to the class schedule at C. H. S. Phis period was composed of eighth graders and other beginners which fed into a large band and helped strengthen all sections of the band. Mellophone and oboe were added to the 1953-54 band, and its enrollment continued to grow because of the added interest in band each succeeding year. “Truth or Consequences” was the theme of the novel assembly given by Mr. Walter Thomas and his band on December 4. Contestants were chosen at random from the audience by Master of Ceremonies Ellsworth Bowler and given their chance to strike it rich. Oddly enough, none of the contestants was able to answer the questions, so they had to face the consequences. Each of them met similar fates and at the end of the performance was presented a well deserved candy bar with the compliments of the sponsor, “Ten- gard,” with is “Dragnet” spelled backwards. The Band attended the District Band Festival on March 20 at Fairfax, Virginia. Both the Band and majorettes participated in the Apple Blossom Parade at Winchester, Virginia, on April 30, and in Washington, D. C., at the Safety Parade in May. A fourteen-piece band was organized this year, called the “Blue Notes,” and their theme song was the ever popular “Tenderly.” The first ap- pearance of the “Blue Notes” was February 4 at the Parent-Band Association, a newly organ- ized club composed of parents of band members and other citizens. They played at the Pan American Dance in April and at other school functions when the opportunity presented itself. In order to be a member of the “Blue Notes,” one had to play satisfactorily before the director, and the most talented of those who tried out were chosen. They practiced at activity periods and also sometimes at night. This dance band was a great benefit to school organizations which wanted live music at their parties. Front Row: L. Baumgardner, M.

Dramatists Give Sock Hop, Four Plays Gloria Stafford Joel Burke Kyle Gibbs Shirley Stultz Mrs. Gordon Witt Miss Lucy Ann Botts Repeating a custom of many tears standing, the Dramatists presented the entire student body with a sock hop, at which all students wore dunga- rees and plaid shirts. The Dramatists presented a one-act play, This is Americanism,” over WCVA on January 13. Kyle Gibbs depicted a teen-age girl who fell asleep while doing her history homework. In her sleep she dreamed of the different opportunities and privileges that America offered. This play was also presented in assembly, January 22. and in a D. A. R. meeting, January 26. The cast of characters included the following: Ellsworth Bowler, Ronnie; Jimmy Cothran, Mr. Jefferson; Betsy Speiden, Statue of Liberty; Betty Norris, Susan; Betty Troxell, First Free- dom; Shirley Stultz, Second Freedom; Gloria Stafford, Third Freedom; Christopher Geest, Mr. Lincoln; Francis Griffith, First Revolu- tionary Soldier; and Billy L tz, Second Revolu- tionary Soldier.

The cast of I Shall Be W ait- ing” included Virginia Curtis, Mrs. Standing; Shirley Stultz, Joan; Jimmy Cothran, Carl; Christopher Geest, Dr. Brandt; and Billy L T tz, Peter, the messenger boy. Pink and Patches’ featured Gloria Stafford as Texie, Betsy Speiden as Ma, Joel Burke as Rexie, and Kyle Gibbs as Mrs. Allen. The Wedding Present cast con- sisted of Wife, Barbara Dulin; Husband, Ells- worth Bowler; and friend, Bradford Smith. “I Shall Be Waiting” was selected to be given at the District one-act play contest at Mary Washington College, Fredericksburg, Virginia, March 13. Margaret Powell, chairman of the Home- Coming Float Committee, planned a very novel float for the third annual parade. It consisted of a large silver paint bucket and brush. The brush was carried by a Blue Devil.” The theme of the float was We’ll Whitewash Fredericks- burg Tonight.” 4 64 )s Shock of His Life” Charms Audience Herbert Fox as Mr. Maxwell played the lead- ing role in the Junior Dramatic Club’s first presentation. “Shock of His Life.” This one- act play was given at assembly for the entire student body, February 19, and from the ap- plause of the audience, one could say it was en- joyed by all. Other characters included the fol- lowing: Connie, a nineteen-year-old daughter, played by Mary White; lJettie Lou, her teen-age sister, acted bv Martha Haverstock; Wilbur, the son, played by Lewis Nelson ; and Mrs. Max- well, the mistress of the house, portrayed by Rosie Arrowood. “Shock of His Life” told of the experiences Mr. Maxwell encounters when he learned he had only a few hours to live. The reactions of his teen-age children and their friends brought this comedy to an hilarious climax. A second play presented in the late spring was equally well received. I he Junior Dramatic Club composed of eighth and ninth graders, who were interested in dramatics worked very hard to develop poise through training and learning about backstage methods as well as actual acting on the stage. The club was divided into three groups — acting, make-up and costumes, and props, according to each member’s interest in that particular phase of dramatics. The Club’s enrollment was considerably smaller that that of last year due to the “screen- ing out” the advisers, Mrs. E. O. Willis, III and Miss Jean Young, used in order to let just those join the club who were interested in work- ing and participating in club activities. The 1 953-54 Junior Dramatic Club adopted as its purpose, creating interest in dramatics and pre- paring members for work in the Dramatic Club. l earning with the Dramatic Club, they spon- sored a float for the Home-Coming Parade and closed out the year with a dance for the student body.

In Decem- ber, Bunny went to Greenville, North Carolina, and was the leader in the installation service of the Eastern College Chapter. June 13-15 will be the climax of her term of office at which time she will preside over the third annual convention of the Future Business Readers of America in Dallas, Texas. Service, education, and progress are the aims of F. B. L. A. By Helping Others, We Help Ourselves,” was the theme for the year. In keeping with this slogan, Janet Bailey, chairman of the ways and means committee, was in charge of a stenographic service available to civic or- ganizations as well as individuals. In September, a committee composed of Evelyn Edwards, Frances Bledsoe, Joyce Hilton, and Alice Mont- gomery served the students of the school by •Sf 66 ): selling their used books for them, charging a io per cent commission. As a service to the com- munity, the members mimeographed work for the Infantile Paralysis Drive, Christmas Welfare Program, T uberculosis Association, and several local churches. During the two weeks before Christmas over 400 pairs of yarn lapel dolls were made and sold — these were the answer to the inexpensive gift problem of many C. H. S. students. January and February brought the sale of button and sequin earrings which were made to order. Mary Robeson, National F. B. L. A. Presi- dent, and Edith Cunningham, president of local chapter, along with five other members of the club presented a program explaining the aims and purposes of F. B. L. A. o ver the local radio station on February 3. February 4-12 was Vocational Week with its radio program, bulletin boards, window displays, newspaper articles, and the banquet; these were designed to acquaint the teachers, pupils, and the community with the vocational services of the school. The Vocational Banquet, held on Feb- ruary 10 in the high school cafeteria, was the highlight of the week’s celebrations. All five clubs attended as well as the employers of these students. Mr. Giles Miller of the Culpeper National Bank, guest speaker, spoke on “What the I’own of Culpeper Has to Offer Its Citi- zens. He told of the dairy progress and the general increase of agriculture projects in this section as compared with those of surrounding counties. Nineteen members attended the Madison Re- gional Convention in Harrisonburg, Virginia, at Madison College on March 6. Mary pre- sided anil Edith Cunningham was secretary. T he Culpeper Chapter was in charge of the election of officers and the preparation of election ballots. Margaret Harding entered the speech contest; Shirley Thompson, spelling; Jane Carpenter, essay; and Ann Latham, parliamentary procedure. Audrey Printz was chairman of the committee to prepare the exhibit which consisted of a scrap- book, posters, song, certificates, plaques, and a display of some of the projects. T hen came one of the highlights of the school year for this active club. Thirty members of the Future Business Leaders of America attended the State Convention held at Hotel Roanoke the last week end in March. Janet Bailey, Edith Cunningham, Jesse Garr, Benjamin Brown, Jane Amos, Charlene Bache, and Shirley T hompson attended this convention as delegates, and Bar- bara Pound, Barbara Clatterbuck, and Catherine Carter went as alternates. Mary was guest speaker for the banquet at this convention, and she was also the leader of a group which dis- cussed activities that increase business knowledge and skills. Mrs. W. A. Houck was consultant for this group. Edith was reporter of the group which discussed school and community service activities. Mary presided over the National F. B. L. A. Convention held June 13-15 in Dallas, Texas, and attended by several other delegates from the local chapter. Left Picture, Front Rozv: E. Cunningham, A. Montgomery, Mrs. H. McCall, Mrs. W. Houck, E.

May Day Evelyn Edwards Barbara Clatterbuck Frances McDowell Kitty Jenkins Elizabeth Speiden Ellen Speiden Miss Katherine Habel Co-sponsored by the F. H. A. and the Girls ' Physical Education Department, the first May Day ever to be held at Culpeper County High School drew participants from every class and organization in school. Elected by their respec- tive classes, the court held on May 4 consisted of the following: Senior Class — Dorothy Smith and Calvin Brown, king and queen, Mary Robe- son and Ellen Hosslev, maids of honor; Junior Class princesses — Jane Amos and Maxine Kilby; Sophomore Class princesses- — Carol Doyle and Mary Thompson; Freshman Class princesses — Martha Haverstock and Mary White; Eighth Grade princesses — Paula Hawkins and Barbara Ross. Evelyn Edwards, president of the club, acted as mistress of ceremonies and directed the entire program. President Vice President Secretary Treasurer P arliamentarian Reporter Adviser Each organization and class entertained the queen and her court, whose throne was set up on the front lawn, with a skit, exercises, square dance, or a folk dance. The queen recognized all Five- Pointers and presented an award to the room having the highest number. The Physical Education Department directed the dances, and the Homemaking Department selected the cos- tumes of participants in the court. Basis for selection of the queen and her court included being a Five- Pointer, having a pleasing personality, making a neat personal appearance, attaining a scholastic average of C, making satis- factory on conduct, and demonstrating good manners at all times. Students nominated candi- dates for the court by secret ballot, and the two highest represented each class. • S{ 68 )■ F. H. A. girls participated in the local county fair, exhibiting projects they had made. The girls journeyed to the state fair at Richmond, Vir- ginia, September 20. To obtain money for the club finances, the girls undertook the task of serving teachers from surrounding counties when they came to Culpeper for teachers’ meetings. In order to acquaint new teachers with the work of school clubs, the club gave a tea in October for teachers and presidents of school clubs, classes, and organizations. Along with other vocational clubs at C. H. S., the Future Homemakers of America participated in the activities of Vocational Week, February 8-13. The F. H. A. helped plan the menu at this banquet. The Homemakers on Career Day, Feb- ruary 25, gave a tea immediately after school for visitors, members of the Faculty Guidance Com- mittee and junior and senior homeroom teachers. Evelyn Edwards, as narrator, and Elizabeth Apperson, Geneva Baker, and Barbara Clatter- buck as members of the panel, presented a radio program, November 18, over WCVA, explaining the club’s aims and goals. Each girl represented a year of the four different years of homemaking, explaining kinds of activities taken up. All mem- bers on this day wore red and white, the national colors of the F. H. A., as members all over the nation were doing since this was National F. H. A. Week. During this week the bulletin board in the front hall of C. H. S. carried a display that stressed the activities and platform of F. H. A. On Friday students roared with laughter as the hillbilly wedding of “Aggie Cul- ture” and “Homer Economics” took place at assembly. The entire club took part in this mock wedding. The girls made toys for welfare baskets at Christmas, and sent a box containing clothing and school supplies to a mission school in Dike, Virginia. They held a rummage, bake, and white elephant sale February 13 to make money for the club. On March 16, the local club was hostess to F. H. A. Clubs from the C. M. O. — Culpeper, Madison, and Orange Federation — for the an- nual spring rally. Miss Hazel Wilhoit, District Supervisor, was feted guest at this C. M. O. Trio Rally. The Culpeper Chapter of F. H. A. was honored to have Dorothy Hoffman as secre- tary, and Barbara Miller as historian of the executive board of the federation. These execu- tives assembled often with the other counties’ federation officers to discuss ideas and activities. The club held the annual Ho-bo Picnic on April 30 down by the Culpeper railroad tracks. Each member went dressed as a Ho-bo and enjoyed an all-day gathering with luncheon. To climax an eventful year, the members of the Future Homemakers of America planned a Mother-Daughter Banquet to which they invited their mothers to show them that they were not the only ones who could plan a good, wholesome meal.

This calendar featured a group picture of the Culpeper Chapter. In order to finance the calendar and make money, the members sold ads to local merchants. The next event for the F. F. A. was a joint project with the F. H. A., that of decorating a float for the Home-Coming Parade. This tractor-borne float featured the title, “We ll Plow Fredericksburg Under. 1 wo F. F.

Phis was the float that won first prize when the judges summed up their calculations. President y ice President Secretary Treasurer Reporter Sentinel A dvisers Pen of Culpeper’s F. F. A. members partici- pated in the George Washington Federation Forestry judging contest held at Stafford County High School. Harris Burke, a senior member of the Culpeper Chapter, was elected secretary of this Federation. The club also took part in other contests such as Dairy Judging, Shop Judg- ing, Soil Judging, and Livestock Judging con- tests held there. On February 24, members of the club attended the banquet of the George Washington Federation at Stafford County High School. Roy Kiev was made chairman of the F. F. A. Safety Committee. The purpose of this com- mittee was to record farm accidents, their nature, and their causes. This was a phase of the nation- wide F. F. A. program. � :{ to )■« Eternal Vigilance Price of Safety Trying to make C. H. S. a safer school for students to attend was the main objective of the 1 953-5+ Culpeper High School Safety Council. These patrolmen under the leadership of Mar- garet Arrowood, president, had the responsibility of keeping order on the buses, seeing that no traffic went by while the students crossed the road, and upholding safety rules. It seemed as though the patrolmen with their red flags got on and off the bus every second, just to insure the safety of the school children. The Safety Council met every second Tuesday and Mr. Hobby Walker, their adviser, kept them up-to-date on all the rules and regulations for school buses and traffic. At these meetings the entire club viewed films which stressed the importance of patrolmen on the buses. Occasion- ally they had state troopers or other adult patrol- men at these meetings to talk to the members. Patrolmen looked forward to the annual trip to Washington, I). C. Each year the entire Safety Council travels by school bus to Wash- ington for this parade, sponsored by the American Automobile Association. The councilmen marched behind the Culpeper High School Band, led by the majorettes, who also journeyed to Washington for this occasion. Hundreds of school patrolmen from areas adjacent to Wash- ington gathered on a Saturday in May for a colorful parade down Pennsylvania Avenue. The Safety Council was in charge of patrolling the route over which the Home-Coming Parade passed, thus making it safer for all students par- ticipating in this celebration. Each patrolman was permitted to leave sixth period class at three ten, so that they might be on the bus before other students were dismissed from classes. The Safety Council felt as if the year 1953-54 had been quite a safe one for the students of C. H. S. Margaret Arrowood John James Euva Pritt Shirley Settle Mr. Bobby Walker. . President ....

Members of the Spanish Club began the week by making and displaying Spanish posters, Spanish American flags and curios, and putting mottoes in Spanish on homeroom bulletin boards. On Tuesday, the regular intramural day, they participated in Span- ish sports and contests. The cluh members came dressed in Spanish costumes Wednesday and taught Spanish dances to anyone who desired to learn. Thursday was banquet day when the club feasted that evening in the high school cafeteria. Activities Friday climaxed the week: an assembly for the entire student body and that night a Spanish dance held in the cafeteria, which was adorned with Spanish decorations. By publicizing the club’s activities in this way, students hoped to interest more people in the study of Spanish. The Club’s meetings were held during the regular class time once a month. At each meet- ing the program was devoted to the study of a country in the Americas. They conducted their meetings in Spanish and carried on a corres- pondence with Spanish students in South America. Included in the Christmas program were carols and other Christmas songs sung in Spanish. For recreation during their meetings, the club members played bingo in Spanish and made booklets from information received from the Chambers of Commerce of South American countries. The Spanish II Class visited Washington, D. C., in the spring and toured the Spanish Embassy and Pan American Building. They dined at a Spanish restaurant. The Pan Ameri- can Club also had the honor of winning the second-place award for their Home-Coming float displaying the motto, “May the Best Man Win.” 4 72 Olympic Council Members Enter Contest “Wonder who will get to go to the Latin Tournament?” was frequently asked by mem- bers of the Olympic Council as the time drew nearer for the select students to be chosen. Only the most outstanding students of each year of Latin were eligible to represent the Latin de- partment of C. H. S. at the tournament on April 10 in Charlottesville, Virginia, at the University of Virginia. Finally these students were chosen and Kenneth Dobyns, Randolph Aylor, Cherry Gorham, and Ann Rawlings represented Latin 1 ; and Hetty Troxell, Charlotte Gore, Betty Hundley, and Nancy Rosenberger represented Latin II Class. The Latin II Class and several Latin III members composed the 1953-54 Olympic Coun- cil. The Council met during the regular class period every first Friday of the month, thus necessitating the formation of two sections of the Olympic Council. Each section had its own officers, but both carried on similar activities and business. At the meetings the Council made plans for future activities, and later presented programs on several phases of Roman life to further interest in the life and culture of the Romans. At Home-Coming, the Olympic Council en- tered a float in the parade symbolizing the assas- sination of Caesar — Caesar in this case being a Yellow Jacket from Fredericksburg. Torch, a national Latin magazine, carried a picture of this float in the January, 1954, issue. During Latin Week the club presented a short skit at assembly for the entire student body. On Wednesday night of Latin Week they held a banquet in the high school cafeteria for the Olympic Council members and their guests. At a meeting, held in the Gymnasium, April 2, Miss May L. Keller and Miss Pauline Turnbull of Westhampton College, special guests, showed slides which they had taken in Africa and Greece and talked on the Roman way of life.

Scientists Hold Club Fair David Haught Stuart Colvin Mary Callahan Jesse Yowell Bernard Gaines Bradford Smith Miss Virginia Lewis Mrs. Howard Culpepper ‘‘Have you ever seen such weird inventions and exhibits? was a question asked by many C. H. S.-ers as they wandered about, looking at the exhibits put on display at the Science Club Fair, “Science As We See It,” in March. Prior to the fair a contest had been held in Science Club Photography and many students submitted to Stuart Colvin and Jesse Yowell, chairmen of the contest, pictures and negatives for competi- tion. The winners received an 8 x 10 enlarge- ment of their picture, and the first three prize- winning prints appeared in the school paper, the Pe per gram. The Science Club was divided into different committees — electronics, photography, meteor- ology, and mineralogy. Each committee displayed the projects that it had been working on. Judges gave an award for the most interesting and original exhibit. Jerry Curtis, a senior and chairman of the Science Club Electronics Committee, built a one- President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Reporter Librarian A dviser Assistant Adviser tube radio set five years ago, and since then has built several receivers and transmitters and other pieces of electronic equipment. He built a short- wave outfit for his car and plans to get his radio operator’s license in the near future. Culpeper High School is affiliated with the Junior Academy of Science and also with the Virginia Academy of Science Speaker’s Commit- tee. The Science Club as a group, entered an exhibit in the University of Virginia Science Open House. Some projects which the 1953-54 Science Club took for the year included a bulletin board ex- plaining the platform of the club and having a school assembly to encourage seniors in National Talent Search. The scientists ended their year of various ac- tivities by presenting a trophy at the graduation exercises to a senior who had done outstanding work in the field of science while he was in high school. � j( 7 1 } ' « Jeffries Directs Bookworm Programs Under the supervision of Nancy Jeffries, pro- gram chairman, the Library Club instituted a series of recreational and informational programs for their regular meetings. Among these were a Christmas party ; the showing of the filmstrip, Use Your Library”; a vocational program in February preceding Career Day; and Book Week celebration. Activities to celebrate National Book Week, November 15-21, included presenting a play, The Printer Is a Devil,” in assembly and deco- rating the bulletin board in the school ' s front foyer. John Gore, Rosemary Haught, John Heflin, Ellen Jacobs, Nancy Jeffries, Robert Mc- Inturff, Sylvia Myers, and Philip Shaw composed the cast of the play, which dealt with an incident in the life of Johann Gutenberg, inventor of the first printing press and his first printed book, the famous Gutenberg Bible. The plat ' , presented as a mock radio program, used for its “commercial” an invitation to students to read books from the library for fun and information. Directed by President Janet Bailey, the club filled its membership roster in the second week of school, setting a record for completing the workers’ schedule in such a short time. Twenty- five new members joined the club to boost its total to 44. Upholding the club’s motto, “Every Library Club Member a Worker,” they manned the circulation and permit desk, wrote sketches for the Pepergram, prepared books for circulation, repaired books, tended the magazine rack, and typed the reading record, to meet the required minimum of 60 periods for a Library Club certificate. Featuring a best-seller with the title, “Victory over Fredericksburg,” the club entered a float in the Home-Coming parade. The club’s annual picnic for members and guests in May closed the 1953-54 year. Janet Bailey Nancy Jeffries Donald Henson John Gore M iss Mary George Bolen President . ...

Holds Employer- Employee Banquet Carolyn Brown Wayne Brown Ruth Dodson Lillie Tippett Barbara Myers Mr. Woodrow Favre President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Promotion Manager A dviser Repeating an annual custom, the Dis- tributor’s Club held an Employer-Employee Banquet. This was held in the high school cafeteria on February io, 1954, and proved to be quite successful. A first for the D. E. Club took place on February 27, 1954, when all eleven members of the club attended the District Convention in Washington, D. C., at the Willard Hotel. Several of the C. H. S. members par- ticipated in contests, and an award was given to the school represented in Washington which received the most points. On February 14, at Front Royal, Virginia, preliminaries were held and contests were conducted in speech, salesmanship, and merchandise display. D. E. members decorated a float for the Home-Coming Parade. In observance of Vocational Week at C. H. S., the D. E. Club had a radio program made possible by the local radio station. An assembly program was presented to the entire student body during this week. All the activities of the year were relived again by members of the club through an up-to-date scrapbook. In order to qualify as a member of the Distributor’s Club, a student must be a member of the distributive education class, be a junior or senior in high school, and work an average of fifteen hours per week. Under the guidance of their new sponsor, Mr. Woodrow Favre, the club’s goal was to learn more about the field of distribution and to acquire training in it. The entire club attended the State Con- vention in Richmond, Virginia, on March 4-5, 1954. The 1953-54 year was climaxed at the National Convention in San Antonio, Texas, but due to travel distance, no Culpeper members attended. 76 } - Carroll, Corbin Given State Offices Seven out of the eleven D. 0 . members attended the State D. 0 . Convention at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond, Virginia, on March 22, 23. Two of the D. O. members, Arthur Carroll and Garfield Corbin, had the honor of being on the Registration Com- mittee, and Garfield Corbin also served as host at the convention banquet. The conven- tion was the highlight of the year for the club. The year 1953-54 was the eighth year that Culpeper High School has had a Diversi- fied Occupation class. Members were drawn from the junior and senior classes. The Di- versified Occupation Club of C. H. S. was affiliated with the Diversified Occupation Clubs of Virginia. The D. O. Club’s purpose is to provide activities for students enrolled in the Diversified Occupations class; the organization met once a month during the class period. The members of the D. O. Class did not attend school all day as they usually worked in the afternoons and some at night. The class counted one credit and the job of working in a business firm counted one credit. Thus each member of the D. O. Club earned two credits for graduation by taking this class. These student workers were paid for their work just as any other employee was. The 1953-54 D- O. Club under the guidance of their new adviser, Mr. S. C. Broyles, participated in the following activities : float in Home-Coming Parade, radio program during Vocation Week, Employer-Employee Banquet, and the D. O. Convention. By training in the D. O. Club, the mem- bers will know what to expect when they go out into the world to make their living. All students found that through Diversified Occu- pations it was possible for them to meet the public and get a good start in the business world. Arthur Carroll. . Harold Myers. . . .

Jane Brown received the largest number of blue ribbons for the girls and Marvin Minor, the boys. Four-H members went on to district and state fairs. Their achievement was shown by the amount of money they received, Marvin Minor carrying off a total of $269.00 at these fairs, and Elizabeth Feaganes, $64.50. The Senior Club won the county banner for being the tear ' s outstanding club. Members worked on projects winter and summer. Camps and beach trips were provided by the State Extension Service, so that relaxation became a part of their projects also. Nine club members attended the State Short Course held in June at V. P. 1 ., Blacksburg; four went to the State Conservation Camp at Camp Farrar, Virginia Beach ; and thirteen attended the District Camp held at Holiday Lake at Appomattox. Mary Carder was Area Contest winner and All-Star member for 1953. One monthly meeting was devoted to business and the other to improving projects. Member- ship had increased with growing interest in 4-H work. The club observed 4-H Week on March 6-14, displaying their activities in store windows, on bulletin boards, and by radio programs. Under the leadership of Mr. George Heflin, 4-H mem- bers tried to fulfill their motto, “To Make the Best Better. ' 4 7S } CHAPTER IV ATHLETIC SQUAD, bearing the torch of victory or accepting defeat as good sports — what would the school have been without them? Through training for, or participation in various athletic events, the students have shown their skills and abilities. Whether at a home-coming game with an arch rival or a junior class versus senior class team playing in the gymnasium in an intramural sports schedule, a 1953-54 athlete could be counted on to give his best. Though it had taken extra time and energy, everyone felt the rewards were well worth the time spent with this program. All students were not members of these squads, but each one became interested in what they did in the spirit of C. H. S. All were willing to support their school or class by attendance at these various events. These events de- veloped better school spirit for all. 79 }• First Row: . Hedrick, B. Crane, D. Coates, C.

Treasurer A dviser Beautiful songs, dedicated to beautiful girls, were sung by unusual specimens of humanity at the annual Monogram initiation held January 8. Calvin Brown, Raymond Harman. Stanley Hoff- man, Lawrence Leavell, James Bishop, Emmett Martin, Joe Fincham, Paul Carder, William Cunningham, Winfrey Gore, Charles Chilton, Richard Bayne, Harrell Pritt. and Douglas Weakley were the candidates initiated into the Monogram Club. The boys being initiated were dressed in the finest costumes and fashions the old members could design. The famous penny race, won by Winfrey Gore, and the paddle machine climaxed the program of the day. In order to enter the club these boys must have won a varsity letter in football, basketball, track, or baseball the season before. However, the candidate must also compete in the initiation satis- factorily before he can become a full member. The Boys’ Monogram Club again undertook the task of getting the Home-Coming parade in line and on its way. Claude Burke and James Kibler directed the project. Phis year, however, the boys devised a simpler method than last year which w orked less hardship on them. The boys had anyone who wanted to enter anything in the parade to sign up before the day. Then these people or clubs were assigned numbers in line and had to be in that line by a certain time the day of the parade or be disqualified. This plan worked well and helped to get the parade off to a quick and less confused start. If the Monogram Club members were not found playing their own favorite sports during the school vear, you could always see them on the side lines. But whether on the side lines, the field, or floor, wearers of the “C” continued to carry their tide of good sportsmanship with them. The boys made a special effort to stress good sports- manship wherever they were whether at their own school or at a visiting school. This goal of the club was the cause of the club’s success in everything they undertook. Of 80 L Injuries Cause Devils Four Losses Losing their first game to Warrenton in an upset, and later suffering many injuries caused the Devils to slump and lose four games. De- feating Fredericksburg kept the record clean for Home-Coming victories. Jenkins drove over for the winning score of the Fairfax game. The most sensational score of the Augusta game was a seventy-five yard punt re- turned by Xoakes. Jenkins, Coates, and Noakes racked up the scores over scrappy Louisa. Jen- kins, Martin, Bayne, and Parker scored, with Hedrick making three extra points, to swamp Orange. An interception by Parker set the Devils on fire in the last quarter of the Home- Coming game with Fredericksburg to score twice and edge out the Jackets. Because of a spotty pass defense and injuries to the players the Devils dropped the last three games to Falls Church, Manchester and Madison. Scores Date Opponent Place C. 11. S. Oppt.

Rinkeydinks Acquire New Adviser James Bache President William Parker Vice President Frasia Trice Secretary James Combs Treasurer Mr. Bobby Walker Adviser The Junior Varsity Monogram Club acquired a new adviser this year, as Mr. Bobby Walker took over the club from Mr. Jack Wayland who organized the “Rinkeydinks” in 1952. The club held its first party in the last part of winter for all its members and the Senior Club members. It held a second party for the whole school later on in the spring. The Dinks again entertained the Senior Club when both clubs went to Washington to a base- ball game in the early spring. Following the plan instituted last year the club again claimed Dink’s Den as their special residence. This t ear the boys collected all the pictures of the past Junior Var- sity teams, and framed and hung them in the Den, making it a trophy room. For the second time the club gave a trophy for the best Junior Varsity player of the tear. Last year at the end of the school year James Combs was presented the award. The award was given on a basis of 100 points and the points were dis- tributed in the following way: sportsmanship 15 points, teamwork 20 points, personal effort 25 points, scholastic achievement 5 points, leadership 15 points, aggressiveness 5 points, importance to the team 15 points. Also after being judged on these points boys could be not over 16 years of age and could not be above a junior in school or under a freshman. The Rinkeydinks took care of all seating, park- ing, and selling of programs at the varsity foot- ball games. The club also entered a float in the Home-Coming parade and helped the Senior Monogram Club during their initiation. 1 he club held its second initiation in the spring for all boys who had won their junior varsity letters dur- ing the past season in football and basketball. Boasting all dues paid on time and all members in good standing, the club was proud of its good rating in school. 2 ( 82 Little Devils Encounter Misfortune From beginning to the end of the season the Rinkeydinks like the Devils were tuned to misfortune. Leroy Baumgardner’s breaking his ankle, Buddy Cropp’s being hurt seriously in the Orange game, Eugene W illiams’ break- ing his collar bone, and a few minor injuries caused the records not to show a highly suc- cessful season. Although the scores did not make a fine showing on paper, experience and a fine sportsmanlike manner were added to the Rinkeydinks’ record and will add to their playing in later years on the varsity. With but only one or two hold-overs from last year the discovery of fullback Dillard with his passing and running was a high spot of the season. Baumgardner at the end of the season also showed up as a fine runner and player. The backfield did not get credit however for everything, for the fine playing and spirit of Bache, Pruett, Hixson, and Duncan was an outstanding part of winning games. To give experience to more of those players who did not play regularly, the players played the Ann Wingfield Midgets. The boys on the second and third teams walked away with a 26 to 6 victory over the Midgets. James Weakley, Gene Timmons, Edward Duncan, William Hawkins, Francis Yancey, Robert Dodson, Richard Robson, James Bache, Manuel Dillard, Kyle Haverstock, Charles Hixson, William Cropp, Duane Dugan, Fred- eric Brault, Harris Burke, James Hopkins, John Pruett, Eugene Williams, Leroy Baum- gardner, and Jerry Payne, manager, won letters.

Knakal hurled all 10 games pitching some times twice a week except for a few innings taken over by Smoot. Besides carrying the heavy load of co-captain and pitcher, Knakal also won the batting championship award, given by the coach for the highest batting average with the high average of .394. Parker and Coates were not far behind Knakal with an average of .360 and .333 respectively. This kept the competition for the award stiff during the entire season. Culpeper placed third for the season in the Group II, District II. Some of the games played were not league games and therefore did not count against Culpeper in the district contest. This district placing was recorded as six won and two lost for the 1953 season. 84 Cindermen Smash Three C. H. S. Records Shattering three school records and par- ticipating in the Indoor Meet at Chapel Hill were the highlights of the 1953 track season. Coates broke both the discus and shot-put records with scores of 126 ' 3 and 49 ' 11 . Noakes, Mitchell, Parker, and Chukinas also broke the mile relay record at 3:38.6. Hawkins and Chukinas won a fourth place at Chapel Hill and Mitchell won a third. Mitchell, Noakes, Gore, and Chukinas honored Culpeper with a third place in the Distance Medley at Alexandria. Chukinas, Noakes, King, Kibler, Coates, and Parker won top places in the District meet and an invitation to the Charlottesville Invitational Meet. Culpeper placed third in this meet.

Their long line of consecutive vic- tories each year made it difficult for Coach Floyd Binns to complete a full schedule for this year and the team did not have a full schedule. Eleven lettermen returned to the team which gave it an advantage over the year previous and most other schools. The team batting average for the year was .402 with Culpeper scoring 1 13 runs to their opponents ' 39. Shirley Thompson and Winnie Mae Brown led the Devilettes with three home runs each, while Mary Jenkins and Frances Kihler were close behind with two each. Two two-base hits were made hy Jenkins and one three-base hit b Barbara Dulin. Beggy Dulin led the walks gained by the team with four, and Barbara Dulin and Lillie Butler with three each followed close. The whole ream got 32 walks during the entire season. The team lost only two of its players to gradu- ation, leaving it in good shape to meet its oppo- nents the next vear. 9 Hit J. V. Girls Lose One Game In Two Years Expanding their schedule by one game this season, the Junior Varsity Girls finished with but one loss. The Baby Devilettes this year played Albemarle High School for the first time and came out on top in both games. It was a job for the coach this year with but nine veterans returning to the team. Most of the girls after the first string were inexperienced. However, by the end of the season all girls were seeing action on the court. Virginia Parker gained the name of high scorer for the season as she racked up 82 points to her favor. Virginia’s long shots and layups brought her immense fame. Patricia Kilby followed Virginia close by chalking up 50. Carole Cropp, the other first stringer, clinched third scoring place by acquiring 21 points. Both Carole and Patricia gained fame for alert ness and long shots. The only other forward who made any points was Sally Harman with a record of one. Bell, Minor, W hite, Suddith, Curtis, Shaw, Coughlin, and Cropp did not make any points but their floor playing added experience for next year’s team. Like the Varsity, the Baby Devilettes could not give credit for winnings to only the forwards. Kathleen Harlow, Barbara King, Joan Moore, and Eva Balch held down the top guard positions. These girls with their effective zone defense kept their opponents from obtaining many goals. Baber, Clatter- buck, Walker, Rixey, Benton, Lipscomb held down the other guard positions. Although they did not play quite as much as the first stringers, these girls gained much experience and knowledge of zone defense. Scores Date Opponent Place C. H. S. Oppts.

Barbara Spilman Miss Almadene Mills For the first time since the beginning of the Girls’ Monogram Club, an initiation for new members was held. All new members were initiated into the club in the early fall, by setting aside one day for the candidates to answer to the old members and do all their biddings. The new members were dressed in men’s shirts, short skirts, hair styled with small pieces of hair tied with bright colored ribbons. The main feature of the day was held in the cafeteria at lunch time when the old members sent the new members on various missions. After this day the new members were then welcomed into the club as regular members. Ann Griffin, Beverley Carpenter, Maxine Kibly, Jacquelin Bragg, Barbara Spilman, Ellen Hossley, Patricia Mills, Emily Rogers, Betty Norris, Mary Sisk, and Lillie Butler were the candidates for the first initi- ation. In order to be eligible a girl must have won a letter in softball or varsity basketball or must have competed for two years in the band or on the cheering squad. This rule was changed this year to the extent that girls who had been on the cheering squad only one year but were playing basketball could become a member of the club. The girls entered a float in the Home- Coming parade consisting of a convertible which they decorated with blue and gold streamers and large signs of encouragement to the players. ' Phis car took all the members who wished to ride in the parade. The main activity of the club again this year was running for the students the school store before and after school and at lunch time. The proceeds went to the girls’ athletic funds to buy letters, uniforms, and other equip- ment for the girls’ athletic department. ss Devilettes Appear In New Attire Clad in new uniforms the Devilettes opened their season with Warrenton as their first opponent. The girls appeared that night in navy blue gabardine uniforms with gold trimmings. Each girl also had a new navy blue whipcord jacket with Devilettes on the back and her name on the front. Maxine Kilby who had 15 points for six games and Beverley Carpenter who had five points for three games. Barbara Dulin and Frances Kibler were next high to Mary with 45 and 30 points for nine games apiece. Barbara and Frances were recruits from last year’s Varsity. Led by senior Shirley Thompson and junior Frances Kibler, the Devilettes had one of the best seasons in quite a few years. Shirley Thompson led the scoring with 104 points for nine games. Shirley was the only senior forward on the team and was famous for her push and hook shots. Mary Thompson was the runner-up to high scorer with 70 points for eight games. This was the first The forwards do not deserve all the credit, however, for the string’s guards, Peggy Dulin, Barbara Spilman, and Jacquelin Bragg played outstanding ball during the whole season. Jacquelin took over a first string position after playing Junior Varsity last year.

Frasia Trice, veteran of last year’s team, led the scoring with 173 points, and moved up to the Varsity for the last two games of the season. He also played with the Varsity at the tournament. Newcomer to school and team, Joseph Korte, was next high scorer with 87 points. Korte was noted for his long shots and speed. The steady playing and cool head of James Bache, veteran player, kept the team at their best when on the court. The Rinkey- dinks held their opponents to 334 points while they scored 457 against their opponents. Not only were most of the boys new, but the Rinkeydinks also acquired a new coach, Mr. Bobby Walker, who worked from the beginning of the season to get the inexperienced boys ready for big games. The most exciting incident of the year came in the Fredericksburg game at home when two overtimes had to be played, the score standing 31-31 at the close of the regular game. The game was again tied after the first overtime, 33-33. In the second overtime, sudden death, the Rinkeydinks came through when first stringer James Geest made the first basket. Bishop, Parker Set Two New Records “Record Broken” was written alongside the name of the Devils this season. When he scored 33 points against the King George five on the home court, James Bishop broke the all-time high mark for Culpeper High School individual basketball scoring. John Parker broke the record for the number of points scored during a season for Culpeper High School by tossing in 255 points. Both John and James led in high scoring for the school with 255 and 197 points respectively. This year the Devils boasted one of the most powerful teams in Group II, District II, when they attended the tournament at In the final game of the season with Louisa as opponent and played on the home court the crowd saw first a team composed of those who, due to graduation, will be missing on next year’s string — Bishop, Carroll, Hedrick, Noakes, and Parker. Then they saw what could be the team of next year playing to- gether. Two of the top five players of this year will still be on hand to give the opponents a hard time. Of the five players lost three were first stringers. With the five second string players which the crowd saw in the last game plus two veteran substitutes the team should do well next year.

Cheerleaders Receive New Uniforms Sandra Kerrick. Linda Guinn Miss Almadene Mills Dressed in newly purchased uniforms consist- ing of gold lined royal blue skirts and royal blue sweaters, the cheerleaders opened the 1953-54 football season at Warrenton. Ten girls took over the duties of cheering the teams to victories. L nder a new rule in force this year cheer- leaders could not be on the basketball team. 1 his rule was passed bv the adviser. Miss Almadene M ills, so that it would give more girls a chance to participate in the different phases of sports. Also, this gave the assurance that all cheerleaders would be at every game. The girls performed with the band at each game and rode around in a jeep to cheer before games. Two pep rall ies were held during the football season, one in the gym and one on the football field. Practice every other day as well as decorating goal posts for each home game kept the girls busy. The cheerleaders also sponsored buses to all away games if the students wanted them. The underclass members of the squad honored the seniors at the last football game by presenting a sign sat ing “Good Luck, Seniors. ' Following last tear’s procedure the girls again held a bonfire and pep rally the night before the Captain, V arsity Captain, Junior V arsity A dviser Home-Coming game so as to get the spirit high for the next night. This year instead of entering cars in the parade the girls used a jeep and trailer. During the half of the home-coming game the Culpeper cheerleaders presented the James Mon- roe cheerleaders with a key, which represented good fellowship and friendship between the two schools. Made up of freshman, sophomore, and eighth grade girls the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders ap- peared at every game played by the junior varsity teams. The girls were picked by the varsity cheer- leaders and will take the seniors’ places on the varsity squad next year. The Junior Varsity cheerleaders were organized mainly to give ex- perience to girls who would later be varsity leaders. The Junior Varsity’s uniforms consisted of white sweaters with small “C’s” on them and blue skirts. New yells, snappy uniforms, smiling faces, and good sportsmanlike manner drew favorable com- ment from the press and fans as well as the stu- dent body for both the Junior Varsity and the Varsity Cheerleaders. -tf 92 )T e Come On, Devils” ,r JSaL V 5 • ; JM ■P iai, - � ' r“� i ■� ■• z ± Stf.:.- - “ 4, «Fi T A — David Coates jogs leisurely into base as Orange ' s third baseman awaits throw from left field. On the next hit David scores. B — All wound up is pitcher Shirley Thompson as she throws to a Stafford batter. Shirley was one of two pitchers the Devilettes had during the 1952- 1953 season. When not on the mound she usually held down a position in the playing field. Playing her first season on the team, Lillie Butler catches for Shirley while second season Peggy Dulin awaits a would-be-hit to shortstop. Mr. James Stover, Athletic Director of the school is umpir- ing. C — In the Culpeper- Woodberrv meet at Woodberrv, Richard Xoakes sails over the low hurdles to win. Xoakes was high scorer for the season. Xot having a track, Culpeper High School cindermen had to hold all their home meets at Woodberrv. This was the first time in track history that C. H. S. Varsity ran the Woodberrv Varsity. D — John Parker fights off Augusta tackles as Raymond Harman helps by throwing a block. This year was the first time the Devils played Augusta Military Academy who was reported as having a tough team, but the Devils trampled them with ease. All these events pictured above except the track picture were taken on home field. Raise That Score” A — Shirley Thompson does her famous one- handed push shot, as a guard moves in to try to guard her in the Orange game. Shirley, a senior and also the high scorer for the Devilettes, will he missed greatly on next year ' s squad. B — Joe Korte, new on the Rinkeydinks this year, shoots as a James M onroe man guards him. Joe was famous for his long shots and speed. 1 he Rinkey- dinks came back after a heating at Fredericksburg to wipe out the Jackets on the home court. C — William Parker, who came up from Junior ar- sity at the end of the 1952-53 season to play varsity, goes in for a fast lay-up to score after he had broken away from the Fredericksburg Jackets. This is one of the few times William could be caught by the camera in a lay-up for he usually played outside, to break up zone defense. D — James Bishop, netting 33 points to set the all-time high mark for Culpeper High School individual baskethall scoring, shoots ore of the goals which broke the record. Bishop is guarded by King George men on both sides but this did not seem to stop him that night. Emmett Martin, Richard Bayne, and John Parker wait for re- bounds which were very scarce. 9-i CHAPTER V SCHOOL LIFE highlights the activities of both students and teachers. Here better than anywhere else can be seen the true Culpeper spirit whether in social or academic affairs. Loyalty to alma mater was forever present, even when everything did not please each one. Exceptional achievement as well as the performance of routine school activities brought recognition to students. This en- joyable life ranged from the early-morning arrival of buses to the after-school rehearsals for plays or athletics. Faculty and students were eager to sponsor and present entertaining activities whether in the form of a tea, play, dance, or athletic event. The before-school, last-minute solution of the math problem; the closely watched clock, as one awaited the ringing of the bell, and then the between-class rush on crowded halls; the lunch lines or candy store crowd; activity period with its intra- mural sports or club meetings — all of these gave opportunity for expression of the spirit °f 1953-54- 95 School Begins Riding on 14 school buses, or coming some other way, 610 students entered the doors of C. H. S. September 1. It was “school days” again. Organizations elected new leaders and began planning for the year’s work. In order to acquaint teachers with the student leaders of the school, the F. H. A. held a tea in the Home Economics Department for the club presidents and faculty. Seniors walked through the halls in a daze as they admired their spar- kling class rings. David Haught played “To the Colors” for the flag ceremony which began assembly every Friday. Color bearers, Paul Carder and Frasia Trice, marched in with the American and State flags, and the stu- dent body repeated the Pledge of Allegiance and sang the “Star-Spangled Banner” un- der the direction of Mr. Walter Thomas. Football, king of fall sports, with John Parker and Richard Noakes as co-cap- tains, was underway. At assembly on September 25, Rev. Francis Burke was the guest speaker of the newly elected S. C. A. Council in- stallation. A — Students arrive at school on buses. B — Mr. W. Thomas, E. Christensen, C. Gorham enjoy re- freshments at F. H. A. tea for teachers and club presidents. C — E. Elliott, R.

A. installation service. 4 9G Fun Prevails “Look this way, please. More to the right. I’ll count three and then take the pic- ture.” This is what students heard coming from Mrs. Leon Seigneur as she began the long job of taking individual and group pictures for the 1954 Colonnade. Club machinery was running smoothly. The band contributed much to the enjoyment of football games with their spirited pre-game and half-time entertainment. Drum major Ellsworth Bowler thrilled spectators with his feats in fire baton twirling. Girls exhibited original cos- tumes in the hilarious Girls’ Monogram initiation, the first the girls ever staged. Hi-Y and Tri-Hi- Y Clubs killed two birds with one stone with the Halloween Carnival — creating something for the youth of the town on Halloween night and making money to finance serv- ice projects. The bells of C. H. S. rang for the alumni and parents when the S. C. A. conducted the annual Parents’ Night program. Adults rushed about searching for their classes. As they came puffing into classrooms, they realized that students do not have much free time during a school day. A — Miss V. Lewis explains the high school curriculum to parents on “Back to School Night” sponsored by S. C. A. B — R. Young, K. McGhee, and J. Weakley spin the wheel of fortune for a young masquerader at the Halloween Carnival given by the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs. C — Mrs. L. Seigneur takes individual pictures for Colonnade. D — E.

A. float in Home-Coming Parade. II — Students do the “Bunny Hop” at Home-Coming Dance. I — Culpeper-Fredericks- burg football game. Meadows Reigns At Third Home-Coming Excitement was in the air as plans for the third Home-Coming celebration took shape. Rose Meadows was chosen Home-Coming Queen III and Maxine Kilby, Carolyn Brown, Peggy Pound, and Fannie Butler served in her court. Honoring the Class of 1918, the S. C. A. gave a program Thursday night. Students worked long hours on floats for the parade Friday afternoon, the F. H. A.-F. F. A. one taking first place. Led by the Band, the parade passed along Main and Davis Streets. At the big game Friday night Culpeper rooters thrilled as the Blue Devils in a mighty last minute surge overcame Fredericks- burg, 14-12. Feting the Fredericksburg visitors, the S. C. A. sponsored a dance to end the celebra- tion. � 3| 98 }• A — J. Parker drives in for lay-up as V. King waits for by Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs. D — Mr. J. Combs awards rebound. B — F.

Winter Brings Dance, Holiday, Exams Winter came bringing many exciting activities. Students sold nearly $3,000 worth of magazines in the Curtis Magazine Campaign, and voted to give the school’s portion to the football stadium fund. M iss Lau ra Thornhill ' s homeroom stu- dents as high salesmen won a trip to Washington while Betty Norris received a wrist watch for being high individual salesman, and Herbert Hash won one in the special drawing. Getting the students into a holiday mood the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs gave a Christmas dance, and the Music Department gave its annual concert. The day before the Christmas holiday, the homerooms had Christmas parties. Snow, much to the stu- dents’ delight, gave them first a week, then another day’s extra holiday. Exams were pushed farther into the future but came and left a few casualties. Resolutions made at the New Year and broken were made again. The year was half gone. 4 99 A — Mrs. J. Shepherd explains scene to K. Smith, J. Garr, C. Geest, J. Cothran, H. Hicks, M. Powell, E. Gaines, E. Apperson, J. Bailey, N. Hopkins. B — E. Gaines, C. Geest, K. Smith appear in scene of play.

Little Women” Choice of Seniors Bringing an entirely different type of drama to the C. H. S. stage, the Senior Class presented an outstanding performance of Louisa May Al- cott’s “Little Women” to the theater goers of Culpeper. In the War Between the States set- ting, Ellen Gaines, Katherine Smith, Janet Bailey, and Nancy Hopkins portrayed the four little women, Jo, Amy, Meg, and Beth, re- spectively. Sharing their joys, tragedies, and loves were their mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. March, played by Harold Hicks and Elizabeth Apperson; and their friends, Air. Brook enacted by James Cothran, Laurie by Jesse Garr, and Professor Bhaer by Christopher Geest. Margaret Powell, as the old maid aunt, simply could not manage the little women as she would like to have done. Seniors ramsacked their grandmother’s and grandfather’s trunks to rind their costumes, all of which were authentic fashions of the period. Behind the scenes student committees worked long and hard to construct the stage set, arrange the lighting system, advertise the performance, collect properties, and assist the actors and actresses in the final preparations to go on stage. The play, directed by Mrs. J. O. Shepherd, was declared “one of the best” by both students and adults. { 100 )■ A — King of Hearts, J. Bishop. B — Queen of Hearts, B. Hundley.

Hundley, Bishop Sweetheart Rulers February 12 found the members of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Clubs hurrying about making final preparations for the Sweetheart Cotillion. Under the direction of Ellen Gaines and Stuart Colvin, decoration committee co-chairmen, club members were hanging an array of red and white crepe paper in the gym. After hours of hard work tired boys and girls rushed home to grab a bite to eat and possibly rest a little before they came back that night to greet guests as they arrived. Brightly dressed girls and their escorts were welcomed at the doors by Mrs. Franklin Rosson and Mr. Joseph Hafer, advisers for the Hi-Y Clubs. En- tering the gaily decked gym, one heard the soft music of Mr. James Logan, former faculty mem- ber, and his orchestra from Luray. Judges chose Betty Hundley and James Bishop to rule over the Cotillion. Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Walker crowned them King and Queen of Hearts. Barbara Spil- man and Kathryn Brown, students of C. H. S., and Francis Thompson, a C. H. S. alumnus, en- tertained. Smiling but tired people started home as another successful Sweetheart Cotillion ended. 101 ' p Enjoy Gala Ball I Upperclassmen With the warm days of spring came the 1953 Junior-Senior Prom, an event antici- pated for years by both juniors and seniors. For the entire school session the Junior Class had been working hard to raise money with which to entertain the seniors and give them a glorious send-off into the future. Hard work, boxes of crepe paper, and hundreds of balloons changed the gymnasium into a spring garden over night. Miss Thornhill, Junior Class sponsor, spent many long hours assisting the students to make the Prom a success. In order to enter the garden, the guests crossed a quaint foot bridge which covered a cleverly impro- vised brook. There they danced to the music of Joe Gleese’s orchestra playing at C. H. S. for the first time. As they sat at the tables placed around the dance floor, they were entertained by the special novelty numbers performed by the orches- tra. At intermission refreshments were served. The Juniors recognized their sponsor, Miss Thornhill, and showed their appreciation for her untiring efforts to make this Prom a success. As the final dance drew to a close, many happy hearts left the spring garden and started for home. Another prom had come to an end. A — Students at 1953 Junior-Senior Prom. P — S. kerrick. J. Combs standing on bridge at dance. C — E. Hosslcy, R. Noakes, J. Carpenter. J.

H. S. changed more and more to the out-of- doors. Mr. Floyd Binns and his girl athletes could be seen any afternoon practicing softball to build up that famous undefeated team. In the meantime, the boys were not loafing, but baseball and track were keeping them out of mischief. As a result of intensive practice and the devoted as- sistance rendered by Coach William Caldwell, the boys’ base- ball team enjoyed an excellent season. The track men were getting in shape for the tough schedule ahead. During the season David Coates hurled the discus to a new school record, and big Edwin Gaines became the star of the shot put only to be replaced by Coates with a better distance. In the physical education classes Mr. James Stover, athletic director, also conducted a track program and later had an intramural meet for the school. Emphasizing the classics, the Olympic Council sponsored its first Latin Week. These foreign language students presented a program for inter- ested persons in the community and an assembly for the student body. As a climax of the cele- bration, the outstanding students went to Charlottesville, Vir- ginia, to participate in the Latin Tournament. A — P. Dulin gets a hit at Culpeper- Manassas softball game.

Cothran Sheepskins in Hand, Seniors Leave At last, the great event the seniors had antici- pated eagerly for twelve years had arrived — graduation. As a preliminary there was Class Day with the Seniors introducing class personali- ties, prophesying their futures, and making their final bequests. As C. H. S. students they received their last copy of the Colonnade and had their friends write farewell and congratulatory notes in them. A local minister gave spiritual and moral guidance to the young people in the annual sermon for seniors. Finally came that last mile and was it a long one! As the triumphal and ma- jestic strains of Pomp and Circumstance’’ echoed throughout the auditorium, the smiling young men and women marched up the aisle. After the five seniors with the highest scholastic averages in the class had spoken, each candidate for gradua- tion received his diploma from Mr. Paul Houn- shell, superintendent of schools, and Mr. Flovd Binns, Senior Class sponsor. “Then the graduates were ready to march out into the world to put into use the knowledge and skills they had ac- quired in school. - §{ 104 j - CHAPTER VI ADVERTISEMENTS from the friendly business men of Culpeper and surrounding communities helped to build better school- community relations. These people outside of the school took their place in the activities of the 1953-54 school session. Many functions within the school could not have been carried on without the assistance and encouragement of these patrons and friends. Recognizing the value of advertising space in a treasured volume as a true advertising medium, those advertisers promoted their own individual businesses and at the same time helped the school. All were interested in the progress of Culpeper High School and the development of citizens for a better tomorrow. These advertisers supported the students and faculty in various affairs — social, athletic, and other- wise. The students in turn carried on their business transactions with these business concerns. 4 105 f Dick C.

Each little detail of school life contributed to the success of the year at Culpeper High. Though the Colon- nade has not mentioned each phase, it has presented a general pattern for everyone’s close observation. Each one may pass his own judgment on the displayed pattern of this typical school period. All the groups co- operated to make 1953-54 a fun-filled and profitable session for both the faculty and students. There were disappointments, too. These came in the academic as well as the extracurricular field. All the phases of the school year combined to form a well-rounded chapter in the history of Culpeper High. Everyone, whether parent, student, or friend, was well pleased with this typical year. 4 136 } - 0 - at ’ v ' W v 10 % � % y t p c. f— - ■ CULPEPER COUNTY LIBRARY, CULPEPER, VA 1 jj||j 4 1 V. .
