T. HAMRICK We, the graduating Class of 1955, dedicate this edition of the DuPontian with fondest memories to our favorite cheerleader, Mr. M. T. Hamrick. Mr. Hamrick has been a member of the DuPont faculty since 1946. Besides increasing the students knowledge of world history, Hick was also junior high coach until his retirement in 1953. He not only is well known for his coaching ability, but also for his leadership of our favorite school songs and cheers in pep assemblies. In dedicating this annual we wish to express our appre- ciation for the years of untiring loyalty and devotion given to DuPont. 6 Now and years to come you will probably be talking about this teacher or that one. Wondering now, then realizing later why we thought they were so strict. Remember all the nicknames you gave to each one. Some were even passed down from year to year. f C2 lf Ns.. Gfdnziizisfrafive ersomze I am assuming that the desire of the staff of the DUPONTIAN is to present a simple record of our high school life for the past year, iather than a crowning effort in the realm of art or literature. Starting this note, I was a bit dubious of the theme- MEMORIES. After all, a yearbook is more a pictorial recollection of the recent present. And if some one or two of you, in gazing at these pages, slowly-turned, shall pause betimes and smile and sigh, remembering sun- drenched noon strolls around the building, quiet chats in the library, the bustle of the halls on a rainy day, those dim, sweet mo- ments caught with someone between acts of the Senior play--then it may be not in vain that you have chosen the theme MEMORIES for this book. It is my hope that your yearbook will have an appeal to a group of people, other than your fellow students. For pupils it will be a life-long reminder of never-to-be-for- gotten days, to the other group, their par- ents and friends, it is a most excellent ex- ample of visual advertising for our school. This is the exact, the faithful, though in- complete, representation of life at DuPont high school. Daily, nearly eleven hundred individuals, pour into, over, and out of this ivy-less institution. Merely attempting to baby sit with this goodly number would be a sore chore. And, although to some of our older readers, many of the depicted scenes may need expert interpretation to prove this relation to the 3 R's, we have un- bound faith that as students, and actors in these plays, it will be easy to translate the relation to learning at the present and judg- ment for the future. For you who are creating incidents today -football games, band festivals, Junior Prom, dates, class plays, Follies, locker ro- mances, Carnival, A Honor Roll-all these, are to gather more color and larger values as the years flow over this DuPontian-with truly green envy I bow to you. Certainly, you have chosen well the theme-MEMORIES!! MR. E. F. GARRITY, Principal of DuPont High School 4 . Y J. :1'WW1.a,., - .

A miniature Grand Central Station through whose doors all of DuPont High School stu- dents and faculty pass at various times. According to Mrs. Campbell, Dean of Girls, there-are days when it seems that everyone has a problem- it may be a question about what col- lege to attend-what preparations must be made for certain professions -advice on looking for a job-how to apply for a scholarship or a workshop in order to go to school or to enter nurses' training. Remember the lighter side? No less important to the students are the needs of a safety pin, a needle and thread, an aspirin, the loan of a quar- ter or advice to the lovelorn. Never a dull moment in her long day from eight to three, Mrs. Camp- bell, director of the wondeiful senior play each year, is also a great aid to her students during Hfth period speech. Besides typing and filing Josephine Minnix Shirlene Fleck, and other deans' help- ers run errands assist deans in checking senioi credits, and other helpful duties. any cgzzizzqs Mr. Frank Black, Dean of Boys, is well-known by the students of Du- Pont High School. Even at noon it looks as if he is holding an open house because the ofhce is usually filled with students doing time for some misdemeanor or mischief, or who have stopped by for advice, or just to chat for a while. When fifth period rolls around and Mrs. f'amphell goes to the third floor to teach a small speech class of fifty-two seniors, the responsibilities fall on the shoulders of Mr. Black. lle reminds one of the old woman who lived in a shoe-he has so many chil- dren he doesn't know what to do! But he enjoys every minute of work- ing with the boys and girls. With the assistance of the deans' help and the cooperation of the co- workers, the problems somehow are solved during his hours from eight to three. Betty Hudnall, Patsy 'Edwards, and Sandra Muncy are seen doing ex ervday duties of the deans' help: answerlng the telephone, typing, and filing schedule cards JUNE ARTHUR FRANK BLACK ERMA BROOKE ANNIE DICKENSON HARRY DILLER HARRY DOUGLAS The Faculty Visual Education Committee, Miss Joachim, Mr. Gardner and Mr. Sweeney, works in conjunction with the student committee composed of one student from each class. The films se- lected are shown each week at Visual Education Period. l2 sz 5 YIOL V. .jar sf Q Q' l 7 Y 'A 4 1 - fx if--.R wg Na ' r W 3 wif .

A recent addition to 207 is an A. B. Dick Mimeograph Machine that increases the departments speed and efficiency. The SHORTHAND CLASSES of Miss Dunaway take dictation at graduated speeds from new- bought records and the instructor. While dictated letters are correctly typed, office procedure is taught.

The MACHINE SHOP boys learn by doing-their job is to repair anything from the basement to third floor. The shop has repaired 900 desks and chairs, built new rods and hangers for stage curtains and drapes, repaired doors, and built approximately 8600. worth of stools. 63 Luzior fasses .dn Gfcfiozz Right: Future homemakers are taught the many fundamen- tals of sewing.

Physical cleanliness is taught as well as good sports- manship. One of the most active of the School's many organizations was the Drama Depart- ment, which is divided into four groups. The Dramatic Club, under the direction of Mrs. Wolfe, entered the Morris Harvey Drama Festival in March.

Mary Lou Haynes and Barbara Noble worked closely with Yvonne planning the Press work. The duties ranged from making out assignments to collecting parking tickets. The deadline hours created much confusion around the Press Office. Frantic journalism reporters struggled with their stories, striving to make them fit on the dummy. Just as the staff thought each dummy was all set, a misplaced picture disrupted the entire appearance of the next issue. Headlines and word counting nearly drove the journalists mad not including what trips to the printers brought on. At the Print Shop the long galley sheets had to be checked for typographical errors. A lot of cutting-up was always essential in order to paste the printed stories on dummies . The following day called for another experience at the Printers for checking page proofs . This last trip before the Press met its readers, ended one part of the cycle that was repeated every three weeks. Patty White and Jean Olzer tackled the task of selling the merits of Press Ad- vertising and making layouts. Advertising teams helped solicit ads which paid for three-fourths of publication costs. Both the editorial and business staffs combined efforts that won First Honors in the Thirty-third State Journalism Competition and a First Place Rating in Columbia.

Their activities began in July with summer training under the tutelage of Mrs. Jean Smithers. Through the training the girls learned some of the fine points of advanced dancing which are both beneficial to them physically and as a member of the majorette corps. When school began in September they were prepared for the football season and the Kanawha County Majorette Festival which is a big event. In the originality divi- sion of the Festival the girls dressed as old ladies in long black skirts, white apron , large bonnets, purple shawls, carrying canes and equipped with old fashioned rocking chairs to entertain to the band-played melodic-s of Little Old Lady, Rockin' Chairs Got Me, and 'Get Happy. The corps received 110114 points out of a possible 120 for a classification of superior rating. Dressed in a cowgirl outfit which included a large hat, vest, and belt, complete with holsters and guns, the girls appeared in the annual Fall Follies. The corps has been asked to perform in many outside events such as the home- coming college game between West Virginia Tech and Fairmontg the opening of the St. Albans High School which was high-lighted with The Parade of Majorettes , and along with our high school band at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D. C. Besides appearing for ball games, pep assemblies and other events, in January the girls manage a class to prepare new girls to take the places of outgoing members of the corps.
