Airs. McCall Recognized For Contributions Her First Blue Ribbon — Taking top honors in the Culpeper Garden Club Christmas doorway contest, Mrs. Howard McCall holds the blue ribbon awarded for the decorations on her entrance at 141 Garwayfen Drive. Mrs. McCall declared that this was the first blue ribbon she had ever won on anything. Mrs. Howard McCall who came to Culpeper when her husband transferred to the Culpeper District of Virginia Department of Highways has been a member of the Culpeper County High School faculty for the past seven years. As co-adviser to the Culpeper Chapter of Future Business Leaders of America, she has directed the chapter in rendering many services such as addressing hundreds of TB seals and Polio letters to people in the community. A native of Washington County, Mrs. McCall began her teaching career in com- mercial subjects after her graduation from Madison College. At present she teaches Typing I and II, and Shorthand I. In other years she has taught Business Arithmetic and Bookkeeping. Bulletin boards are a pet project of Mrs. McCall. To go along with the daily happenings of the world, she comes up with ideas that go into the construction of an informative and attractive display related to commercial sub- jects. Serving on such committees as the Faculty Guidance, Clean-up, and Commercial has also taken up a lot of her time. Because she has really endeavored to make her classes educational and beneficial, because she has always shown that students could do their best in her classes, and because she has always put first things first, the 1959 Colon- nade staff is proud to have this opportunity to honor her. It is with deep appreciation and sincerity that they dedicate the 1959 Colon- nade to Mrs. Howard McCall.

the Delightful and Eventful Year of 1958-1959 in CULPEPER COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL Here are the many activities of the CCHS school year to which students looked forward with greater anticipation than ever before. These events highlighted each month of the school term. During the month of September, students attended the first football game of the season. Because the team won four straight games, school spirit was aroused and inspired through- out the school year. In October a senior girl became Homecoming Queen and the third month saw many school dances. Students saw their first basketball game of the season during the fourth month. Many attended the annual Christmas dance. Although the big event of the month was the exam schedules, after Christmas there were more dances and many new events. February saw many banquets. Students individually, or as groups, entered contests as well as spring sports at CCHS or away and won numerous prizes and honors. The event of the year for the juniors and seniors, however, was the Junior-Senior Prom held in May. June brought graduation, the long looked for and memorable event for seniors. COMING AND GOING — Students arrive at school, opposite page, to prepare themselves to become better citizens of tomorrow. Each student follows a six-period schedule. Roll call at 8:54 precedes class periods. At 3:09 roll call in homeroom ends a typical sch ool day. Students, right picture, leave school after a hard day’s work to board the buses to take them home.
