CHRISTOPHER, our principal, we dedicate this volume of The CaVAUER as an expression of the respect and esteem in which he is held by the students of the George Washington High School. When we have gone to him with our many problems, he has never failed to understand; he has helped us solve and settle our difficulties; he has been a helpful friend. Not only has Mr. Christopher guided our activities, but he has devoted his time to the development and advance- ment of our high school and has exerted every effort toward making it a greater C.

October 7—The football season got off to a fine start today when we turned back Lynchburg’s Glass High 14-6 in the first home encounter. October 18—Flotilla Initiations provided a lot of fun for all today. The halls of old G. W. High were filled with echoes of “Your wish is my command.” November 3—The first Thespian production, “Pride and Prejudice,” was a big success. We’re looking forward to more of them.

W. and the senior class as hostesses. December 4—We had our second class meeting today to appoint committees for the play. December 8—“As the Clock Strikes,” our annual play, went off on schedule tonight. We’ve all done our share of work on the production. Although we may be a little partial, we thought it was “Super.” December 20—School was dismissed for Christmas holidays today after the presenta- tion of an inspiring assembly program. January 22—We’re proud of the new members of Quill and Scroll. They’ve earned their rewards. January 23—At our third class meeting today three senior girls were nominated for D. A. R. Award.

March 12—At a meeting of the honor society today twenty new members were voted in. Five of them were from our Senior class.

We donned our caps and gowns for the baccalaureate sermon today. June 8—We roll down the curtain on our senior year today. With sadness we bid fare- well to G.

These students who work in various cooperating stores and agencies spend one period daily in specialized training in order to fit them for their work. Because they are able to coordinate this work experience with classroom instruction, these students will, on an average, do a better job than the usual high school extra or an inexperienced salesperson. The trained student graduates with his regular class in high school, and at the same time, he is equipped for a position in his chosen field. To these boys and girls a diploma carries a double significance. 68 LIBRARY ASSISTANTS Catherine Abbott Betty Lee Agee Mary Anast Betty Clyde Cook Audrey Faucette Nancy Flora Nancy Fox Betty Gardner Elizabeth Green Margaret Groves Gay Hardy Pat Hasty Julia Hiller Norma Mayberry Mayme Powell Ann Taylor Ruby Terry Marian Thompson Doris White Mary Denny Wilson The students who work in the Library do so voluntarily, and they are of invaluable assistance.

Constance Willard, Nancy “Art is taught in the high school because it figures so largely in business, manufacturing, and engineer- ing; because it helps the pupil to a fuller understanding of his school work, because it enables him to employ his leisure more advantageously; and because it provides for his initial training as a prospective worker in the arts or in art teaching. 70 FLOTILLA CLUB President..........

It seeks to develop this interest by giving opportunity for discussion and by providing programs on these topics. The group, believing that such discussions are vital to American democracy and world peace, hopes that the International Relations Club will become a permanent organization at George Washington High School. 1 945 CAVALIER GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL MILITARY Captain Caldwell came to George Washington High School in 1942 after he had served one year as com- mandant of the Jaycee Flight School. He was commis- sioned during World War I. In his eighteen months of service overseas he participated in five major operations. He helped organize the first chapter of the Reserve Officers’ Association in Danville and served as president and secretary for several years. Herbert S. Caldwell Captain Infantry Reserve Commandant Captain Caldwell has seen his first military class at George Washington High School go forth to serve in the armed forces of their country. Each year has added to their ranks. He feels confident they will perform their various duties in a manner worthy of the cause for which they fight. BATTALION STAFF Lieutenant G.

This program was to include at least one full length classic, a drama, a comedy or mystery, and several one-act plays. It was too late in the year to get in the full schedule last session, but the production of the costume drama “Jane Eyre” was adequate compensation. In addition to “Jane Eyre,” the charter members presented an historical drama, “Now and Then,” “The Monkey’s Paw,” and “They Burned the Books.” During the 1944-1945 season the objective set last year has been reached. The Thes- pians have presented a classic, “Pride and Prejudice”; a drama, “The Rock”; a comedy, “Janie ; and the one-act plays, “The Haunted Theatre,” “Saint Francis,” “The Rescue,” and Gallant Lady. The scene above was taken on the set when Thespians presented Pride and Prejudice” at the city auditorium last November. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett (Henry Lee Sublett and Ma- rian Barbour) and their daughters Lydia (Jeanne Dyer), Elizabeth (Ann Lanier), and Jane (Alice Garrett) are enjoying a few moments of “family chat” before the arrival of the guests for their ball. Mrs. Bennett is confident the two eligible wealthy new neighbors cannot resist the charms of her daughters.

For the first lime in the history of the school, the varsity team shared the V. L. A. L. Class A Championship, and Coach Fletcher W. Ferguson's boys marched through a difficult eleven game schedule undefeated and untied. In addition to the varsity's outstanding accomplishments, the junior varsity won its only game of the season, and the 140- pound team look the City Football Champ- ionship with a record of five wins and one lie. In a port-season game, the Junior Cardinals played the League All-Stars to a scoreless lie. The squad record totaled 17 wins and two lies. VARSITY RECORD C. W.

The team was not a star-studded aggre- gation, but it was one that was based on cooperation and fine comradeship among the entire 35-boy squad, the largest in the history of the school.

While Coach Ferguson attended high school and preparatory school, he participated in football, swimming, water polo, basketball, and baseball. Dur- ing his four years at the University of North Carolina, he served as assistant director of intramural athletics. From the University of North Carolina he received A. B. and M.

Despite their failure to hit the .500 mark. Coach Fletcher Ferguson’s boys put on a good performance and several of their set-backs were by narrow margins. At the end of the season, Billy Caldwell and Billy McCubbins won places on the Western District All- Star team. This showed that Con- ference coaches did not take the Cards any too lightly, despite the fact that our league standing showed only two wins in six starts. Billy Caldwell led the scorers with 207 points and was also voted the most valuable player by his teammates. For the latter, he re- ceived the coveted WBTM Trophy. Runner-up in the scoring race was Billy Fvans with 93 points. The following who also made scores were: McCubbins 50, Hurd 52. Gosney 32, M. Reynolds 31, Walk- er 28, Bradner 16. Mowbray 13.

Top Row Johnny White, Johnny Clement, Richard Wells, Bobby Martin, Buddy Haraway Front Row 99 1 945 CAVALIER GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOO CLASS HISTORY John Clement Time Marches Back—six years back, to be exact—to the day we received our first high school instructions in this very auditorium. Many of the new students found it difficult to understand how to get to their first class. The principal had said. “1 hat way. Being new to the school, we couldn’t find our way around until we observed that the even numbers ran in the West Hall, odd numbers ran in the East Hall, and the 7th graders ran all over the halls. Ruth Dodson saw by her preliminary card that her third period class met on the third floor, and she wasted twenty minutes looking for the elevator. Previously in grammar grades the boys walked down one side of the corridor, and the girls marched down the other side in neat, trim lines. Ahh. but those days were over; now we were relieved of walking in lines. The boys were glad but. needless to say, the girls still retained their lines. All-in-all, we seventh graders found high school very dull—which is exactly the way the school found us. Early in our G. W. years we learned the spirit of cooperation. We must all work together.” preached Coach Quirk. We tried that on several tests. For the most part, everyone did well that year, but I might add that the class’s comment was, “School doesn’t bother me . . . it's just the principal of the thing. In 1939 the Freshmen were skipping rope, the Sophomores were skipping Hop-Scotch, and the Juniors were skipping school. That was the year the quotation originated, Pass me the scissors. Mother; I’m going to cut class today. The big snow came that winter, and everybody came to school to keep warm. Bobby Howard was going to skip, but he got cold feet. And at this point it may be important to note that the janitor and the principal were the only ones who could make it hot for everyone in school. By then our class was already winning school-wide recognition. Mary Covington was writing Junior Hi-Lights for the Chatterbox, and Melba Booth was the first Glamour Girl to get a front page picture and story in the school publication. Nappy Benton gained recognition with a front page picture that year, too. It was taken while she was working at her desk. The caption read something like this: Nappy Decides to Study. Her father got after her about that, and from that time on people began calling her Snappy Nappy with a Happy Pappy.” According to records. Old Father Time tells us that Robert Smith had charge of the tool room in metal shop. If you don’t believe it, just ask him what he was doing on January 31. 1941. Oral quizzes came into existence at G. W. that year. Remember when Miss Naylor asked Ann Lanier what a square root was? She said, The lower part of a tree . . . that must be right. I don’t think- I know. “I don't think you know, either, answered Miss Naylor. The same year, little Frcshwomen Lanier. Rhodes, Baines, and Watt starred in the Boyer show called, Oliver’s Travels.” Because they did such excellent work. Barbara Rhodes and Alice Baines won dancing scholarships. Well, by the time we reached our Freshman year, they had something else figured out for us . . . little quizzes that took place every nine weeks and were so very insignificant. They count only 40% of the grades. They were pretty hard at first, and it was nothing to walk down the hall during exam time and hear, Well, Hello there. How’re you failing? On one occasion Billy Caldwell saw how hard an English test was and said. Why, I wouldn’t take that test in a million years.” But if you don’t, you’ll fail the course, protested Mr. Ellis. My. how time flies! If you missed one of the tests, it was very important that you take it later—a re-exam. One girl was so confused she brought powder and lipstick for a make-up test. Anyway, it’s things like this that make our Freshman year worth remembering. That summer was uneventful. The students just went on long vacations, danced, played, and enjoyed swimming and hiking. They had no lessons, no homework, no mental fatigue. Instead they went to parties at the Country Club, went boating on Lake Wildwood or riding on Maple Lane, slept ’til 10:30 in the 100 morning—but such things didn't appeal to us very much. In fact, we were so intent upon getting back to school that we could hardly wait. Then it came ... our Sophomore year . . . with only two more years, one term, three days, two periods, five minutes and an old recess left for us. And now. let’s mention a newcomer. Ann Luther came to join us in October. 1942; she will leave in June. 1945. Now that we’ve mentioned her. let’s go on. In 1942 the G. W. Military Corps was originated, and many of our Sophomores predominated. From an early start, one particular boy worked and sweated to become the Captain he is today. Then we knew him simply as Private Dyer; today he is termed just plain Blood and Gus. He’s the Captain of Company ’’A. ’ and he’s so tough that he wears two chips on his shoulder. Some of the Seniors, on the other hand, were so far behind in military manners that they had to be trained privately. That’s the first time we’ve ever seen a private first class in his first private class. Just an extra duty to him. I guess. Some cadets even wanted to go to an Officers’ Candidate School. Why. with Billy Caldwell it was a major problem. No one got “busted though. Dyer still had his captaincy; Fowler had his Lieutenancy; the rest of them had their privacy. I wonder if the Senior boys will ever forget those long hikes the corps used to take. You remember, they’d walk about fifteen miles (the way the crow marches) with full equipment and pounds of useless junk on their backs. Boy. these Lieutenants were heavy. One time on maneuvers Wade Yates tried to conceal himself and chopped down a tree to make a barri- cade. but he yelled timber” so loud that it gave away the position. It was then that Company A found out that no tree can make quite as much noise as an ash can. Outstanding football records were piled up that year, and our little mates were starring about that time on the Junior Varsity. Coach Quirk insisted on calling them “G. W. Janitors because they were just a scrub team. In 1941 the war hit pretty hard on the home front. Our teachers were called upon to distribute ration books, and for several days school closed three hours early—which all goes to prove that rationing has its points after all. The gym was turned into an office, and the teachers were assigned special jobs. One day a lady came in and said. “Do you ration cans here? A teacher answered, We ration any- body. lady. Sit down. Then it seemed Summer School. Bible School, and Sunday School weren’t enough for the faculty, so the next week we went to school on Saturday. Very few of us had seen a Saturday morning at 7:00. In fact, the instructions read, If it’s darker when you get up than it was when you went to bed, then you know it’s time to get up. Naturally the people who worked on Saturday were excused from classes. The War Manpower Commission got the solution to its employment problem that very day. Never before in history have so many people applied for jobs as they did that Saturday. By that time, the class was really clicking. Mary Patience McFall was the Bunny Girl that Easter; the Teen Age Club was organized; They’ve Sized Me Up (plug) was published; War Bond auctions were introduced that year; the students raised over $28,000 in the Jeep Campaign. It’s things like this that make our Sophomore year worth remembering. During the summer Miss Mears became Mrs. Travis; Miss Ferree was married; Miss Poe changed her name to Harmon; Miss Shelburne married; Miss Ruby Jones became Mrs. Vernon. That was the year the principal stopped juveniles from holding hands in the halls—afraid he’d lose some of his students by marriage. When the Junior Class election was held. John Neal was chosen president, Jane Sanford, vice-presi- dent. and Johnny Clement, secretary and treasurer. No one will ever know how Johnny got in there. Corrupt politics. I suppose. During the first term while Glenn Updike was learning how to be a China Boy and Frannie Jones was being made Homecoming Queen, all the juniors were getting A’s. That is. all except Betty Clyde. She had what we call a rejected report—one with four F’s. Her mother said it was because she wasn’t trying, but her teacher said Betty was the most trying girl in the class. That same year late in December, the stadium caught fire and burned down. Boy. was that hot. 101 1945 CAVALIER GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOO We’ll all remember our G. W. Juniors were quick to catch the journalistic tradition. The Chatterbox soon found Kathryn Benton. Harriet Harper. Feature Editor George Anderson, and future editor Boo Bass. Bill McCubbins. Ann Luther. Barte Frix, Nell Penn Watt, and others. Jimmie Allred was already an old newspaper man—until he found there wasn’t money in old newspapers. Gus Dyer also found a more important position on the daily papers—he had a route of 1 50. Shortly after we launched into our Junior year, the first legal floor show for the younger set took place during the Fourth War Loan drive. A party was held in the gym. Remember how the “Boulderettes (not the “Rockettes ) danced ... the boys made up as girls in a line routine? Brother, after that act the party settled down to a normal uproar as Wade Mae West Yates, John Legs Neal, Bill Fascinating Townes, and Holland Lamarr Gravely got out of their make-up. Funny thing, these seers of stage and screen were immediately signed for a three-week engagement at the luru'ious Paramount theatre—in Draper, N. C. About that time. Miss Fitzgerald was specializing in making assemblies very realistic. In one program, she portrayed a U. S. O. Canteen with dancing girls and singing ladies so vividly that six boys went out to join the Army. Well, by then. Ira Hancock was back from the Senate meetings; The Chatterbox delegation w'as off to the New York convention; the Bunny Girl campaign had started. Then, too. Station G W HS was broadcasting daily at lunch period over about a fifteen motorcycle frequency. Inez Ferguson. Ann Luther, and Nell Penn Watt were Girls of the Week, and with so much going on, we hardly had time for the Junior Dance. Leave it to our class, however, to do it up big. Not only did we have a King and Queen (which turned out to be Charlie Flora and Boo Bass—the reigns” came), but the gym was jumping with a big name band—Charlie Price—and the set-up was cabaret style with tables and soft candles all around. We had a big bandstand, too. Charlie said the band had to be elevated for his higher type of music, so we boys moved in five large platforms. Anything for a Price,” we told him. In the spring. John Neal, our president, won the Virginia Literary award in Charlottesville. The judges said he was the best public speaker in the state. Just ask Norvell if you don’t believe it. I hat year Jane Sanford. Ann Wrenn, B. C. Cook, A1 Jarrett, Jimmy Bernard, and Gus Dyer were members of the Jane Eyre cast. I believe George Anderson had a little part, too. I can s-’e him acting his part now. Jeffries, he said. “Bring my hat, my gloves, my cane . . . and now. my skate key. The property committee had a great deal of trouble. They had to secure a lot of costume jewelry—everything else was in costume, and they didn’t want the jewelry to fee! out of place. There were other important events that climaxed that year. For irstance, there was the time that Bob Agee went up to Barbara Rhodes and said. Let me ask you two questions. Will you date me. and why not? I hen too, there were the Flotilla Formal, the Honor Society Banquet, the Military competition, the Junior-Senior picnic, and two things that students will always connect with Tuesday. June 6, 1944—Miss Trent’s Spanish exam and Eisenhower’s invasion. During the last few days of school the new CavaTers held the interest—tests and girls were secon- dary. Those were the last days we would be Juniors (Thank Goodness!) Next yenr the upperclassmen would be gone, and we knew what that meant . . . John Neal and Norvell would be separated. Thus we left G. W.—for the summer, at least. It’s things like this that make our Junior year worth remembering. Finally, September rolled around again. It seems it comes almost once a year now. Quickly we rushed into G. W. for our final year. Rushing out will be much better, we thought. One Senior didn’t have his schedule card and went up and down the hall causng a d sturbance. Come into my office. said Mr. Christopher, and I’ll tell you where to go. On another occasion one fellow didn't like his schedule; so he forged the principal’s name on a preliminary card. He gets out of the detention room in time for graduation. That year everything seemed to run in doubles. Luther and Bass were appointed co-editors for the school publications; Bernard and Rhodes headed The Cavalif.R; Sanford and Graham led the Press Club. Early in the season The Dramatics Division decided to present another classic, Pride and Preju- 102 dice.” Do you remember what excitement there was back-stage on opening night? Mr. G. L. H. Johnson walked through and said. “Well, it's 8:30, Miss Fitzgerald. Run up the curtain! And she said. What do you think I am, a squirrel? In October Ann Luther was selected the seventh Homecoming Queen and Betty Prichard and Harriet Harper were her attendants. What a week-end! G. W. slightly swamped Salem 14-0. Then followed the coronation of the queen, presentation of flowers, and the dance. Another formal dance was held the next week-end. “Prolonged Homecoming, we called it. Soon after that, another exciting week-end followed. A bus load of G. W.-itcs went to Charlottes- ville to see G. W. beat Lane High. During the same month the Dramatics Class gave a spookie play called Haunted Theatre, which we thought didn't have a ghost of a chance, but it was so popular it toured the college circuit —Stratford and Averett. Then came the Senior election. Bill McCubbins was chosen president, Harriet Harper, secretary and treasurer, and Bob Mills. ice-president. They were the officers for the sophisticated Seniors of '45. Not long after that. Mary Patience McFall. Inez Furgurson. Betty Prichard. Harriet Harper, and Kathryn Benton made up the honor court at the dedication of the Municipal Airport. After the formal ceremonies a pilot took them up in a C-54 Transport. That day the girls were literally flying high. How- ever, it wasn’t long until they were back down to earth again . . . the plane gave out of gas. In keeping with tradition, the senior play was presented in December. Bob (Dan River) Mills. Jar- rett. Chancy, Price, Rhodes. Maynard. Benton, and Agee were in the cast. By February, George Anderson. John Neal, Bob Agee, Runt Moore. Jack Golden. Jimmy Barker, Holland Gravely. Bill Townes, and Bob Howard had gone into the armed forces. G. W. is proud that she has sent out these boys to fight for our nation. We, as Seniors, are equally proud that they were mem- bers of OUR 1943 graduating class. May luck be with them wherever they are! Among other features of our Senior year, superlative sheets will show us that George Anderson was selected the fellow with the most class: math class, English class, and dramatic class. The Thespian Banquet, which was given this year, has been on everybody's tongue. During March, the Senior dance caused the greatest comments. We really had a barn dance. What do you know? The girls asked the boys for dates. Of course, there weren't quite enough boys to go around; so we started calling the females the Ginger ale girls —they were dating boys from 7-Up. That dance brought forth the funniest costumes, and all of us enjoyed holding our sides laughing at them. When Buddy Haraway hit the barbed wire, I thought he'd split. Another outstanding event that will linger in our memory was the day our history classes attended court. Many outstanding entertainments have filled our last G. W. year. The orchestra has played in assemblies and in the final play. Boots Dameron even unpacked a new bass drum, and he said, “Well, can you heal that? One night in March, the entire school had a date with “Janie. The play was very successful with Jeanne Dyer taking the lead, and Ann Lanier, Harold Chancy, Alvin Jarrell. Bob Mills. Charlie Price, Catherine Bass, Nat Swann, and Bruce Cook in other leading roles. Even our ’45 football season was the best. G. W. went undefeated and won the State Champion- ship. Well, they always did say the best classes had the best teams. In these pages covering six years, we have touched only the high spots ... the little things that none of us will ever forget ... the things that mean so much to the typical high school student. After all, it’s the little things that count. We shall depart within a few weeks. Each of us will begin writing his own in- dividual history. Some of us will journey to all parts of the earth: others will remain quiet and settled; others will revolutionize the world. But wherever we go, we will take these memories. They'll be a mighty big part in our lives. The man who said, “High school days are the best days in one’s life” wasn’t far wrong. Besides, it’s little things like these that make our high school days worth remembering. 103 945 CAVALIER GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOC THE PROPHECY Mary Covington and Florence Crute Big John Neal, director, producer, owner, and sole stockholder of the Four Bells Movie Corpora- tion. sat in his 125th floor office and stared dejectedly out of the window. Absent-mindedly, he read a huge neon sign that blazed forth with: “Charlie’s Haberdashery and Grill—The Price Suit; Have a Fit While You Eat. 1 he sounds of music and revelry floated up to him. and Neal regarded all this with envy. He had so wanted to see that new floor show featuring Johnny Clement and his Sweet Clement-time,” the world-famed Baines and Dodson combination, and Inez Furgurson, who had put the can in its right place. But none of this. He must think of a plan to outwit his rival. “Little Jennings Shelton, head of the Triple Feature Movie Company. He decided to call in his topranking stars: Catherine Bass. Olga the new Greer Carson, and Casanova Anderson. Maybe they could help him solve his problem of how to pro- duce the top movie of 1965 and thus receive the Albright Award offered by that wealthy widow. “Frankie. When the trio arrived, he laid before them his predicament. Oh, that’s easy, they said. Just have a movie about our fabulous class of ’45.” “By George! I believe you’ve got something there. he shouted excitedly. “Let’s get in touch with G. W. right away.” At this, his secretary. Sylvia Newman, who obviously had been listening through the keyhole, hur- ried into the room and efficiently began to put in a call to Principal James Bernard. Miss Koplen (Mil- dred to you) answered, but said that J. B. was on the seventh floor. While she waited patiently for him. sounds of a hot argument were heard over the ’phone. It seems that Coach Dickie Walker was complain- ing to Jane Sanford that he didn’t think the girls should practice their ju-jitsu on all of his best football players and cripple them. Finally Principal Bernard answered, and the arrangements were made for film- ing the movie on the grounds of the school. Ralph Barksdale, keeper of the keys and head janitor (best paid position in the school), was promptly commissioned to set the building in shape. The idea spread like wildfire. Jack Furgurson, president of the First National Bank, rushed to the pro- ducer’s office as soon as he had read of the plan in Ed Schwartz’s “Comical Appeal,” and as a special favor to his old Alma Mater, he offered to back it financially. With him was Bob Mills, head of a col- lection agency, whose motto was: Let Mills Collect Your Bills. It seems that Mr. Mills had just come over from Nat Swann’s soap factory where he had got himself all in a lather over an account. These business men had just settled down to talk over the proposition when Judge Gerald Marshall and Attorney Junius Francis burst in and enthusiastically added their approval of the matter. The aid of Rom Teague, manager of the Telegraph Company. Bill Booth of the Sandtrap Airlines, and Margaret Burrell, chief operator of the Telephone Company, was enlisted in contacting the remaining members of the class of ’45. When Flo and I heard the news, we immediately began checking up on who could make it and who could not. Buddy Haraway, sports editor on the New York Times staff, and Carolyn Graham. Madamoiselle’s leading feature writer, had already asked for time off for this all-im- portant occasion. Dorothy Richmond, private secretary to Danville’s first lady mayor. Kitty Wyatt, assured us that her Honor would be present. She had also contacted Peggy Arrington and Jo Gatewood of the Rec- reation Department and Elsie Phillippi and Frances Shelton of the Slim Gym. Since Billy McCubbins was competing in the Olympic meet held in Russia, he was unable to come. Harriet and Charles Hayns- worth had gone up to Niagara Falls on their thirteenth honeymoon and thus were otherwise occupied. Nat- urally Gus Dyer was already warming up one of his own famous lemon-yellow helicopters to make the trip down from his Detroit plant. Thomas Dameron offered his fleet of taxis to transport the cast to George Washington High School where the picture was to be made, and Mary Patience McFall. who ran an Information Bureau at the railroad station, promised to direct the incoming classmates. However, there was more attraction than direction—if you get what we mean. A telegram from Scott Scott’s Soda Shoppe announced the intention of Faye and Pauline to be right there when the fun began, and Garland 104 Ladd, famous black-faced comedian, promised to swing on down with a lass (life begins at 40. you know). With Chatham still only twenty miles from Danville, Wee” Farley, now a laboratory technician in General Motor Laboratories, was only too glad of an excuse to make this trip south. Marion Still-at-it” Barbour, who had gone to work for her Uncle Sam selling offence stamps and anti-war bonds. readily agreed to come, apparently hoping to drum up a little business here. But, as to the long and short of it. Rives Edwards and Melbale Booth were unable to leave their mission stations in Africa. As it was time for the meeting at G. W. to start and the actual production to begin, a group of us gathered at Kroger's Corner—only now it was “Tate’s Corner” for Myral had run out all other businesses with her “Tate’s Tasty Tantalizing Tidbits Store —located in the heart of the library yard. We found that she even grew her own vegetables there and had employed Mildred Haley and Orena Hubbard, both the energetic type, to tend her crop. As we passed on down the street, we met Nell Penn Watt, who told us all about her “will-writing profession which she had so naturally fallen into back in 45. (Remem- ber?) Still farther on. we were picked up by Coleen Adams and Rcba Mustain. owners of a western chicken farm, who transported us safely to the door of the school. What a change had taken place! Instead of the one three-story building with its beaver board annexes, there was a seven-story main building with a tremendous gym to the left and a dance hall and club to the right. A hugh sign over the latter attracted our attention. It read— Herman’s Hangout. We learned later that it was one of the first things that Nig Gosney had introduced when he became superintendent of schools, and it was here that he spent most of his time, cracking unnii jokes over Harold Chancy’s loudspeaking system. As wc entered the doorway of the main office, what should we spy but that captivating smile of Ann Luther’s. She was now on the other end of that miserable wretch, for Ann was the pedagogue of the Press Room. As we started down the hall, we saw a familiar figure lurking outside one of the classrooms. It was none other than Bob Agee, who because of his fondness for the old place, had stayed here and taken over the Photography Department of the school paper. Several other graduates had returned to teach, for we met Margaret Davis and Lois Williams, directors of the 2,000-voice Glee Club. Nancy Foster, teacher of serious dramatics and Carolyn Farish, head of the history department. Soon wc were attracted to a window by the excited squeals of female voices and discovered Bruce Cook, riding instructor, gallant- ly galloping across the campus, followed (as usual) by a group of girls. When the bell rang for lunch, we flattened ourselves against the wall in preparation for the impact of bodies wc knew would come; but the students leisurely loafed by. We understood this only upon viewing the spacious dining hall, along whose sides were gayly decorated booths—enough for every one. Above these was an overhead carrier service that swiftly transferred orders and trays to and from the kitchen. It was then that we noticed little Barbara Rhodes, precariously perched on one of the stools, trying desperate- ly to retrieve her bill folder (fooled you. didn’t we?) from a fast-moving tray. Next was heard the long forgotten cry of One Meatball issuing forth from a stocky lad on our right. This stocky lad was Master Wade Ycatts, who was performing his monkey shines (inherited from his papa) before all the girls. Some more members of our class were seen entering the building. There were Irma Haynes, children’s librarian. Bernice Gourley and Dorothy Denny, cosmetic specialists in a local store, and Ida Powell. Mar- garet Matsatsos, and Mary Frances Fulton, secretaries in the cotton mills. As we were eager to get on with the production, all adjourned to the auditorium, where the equipment was assembled. The set buzzed with activity. Robert Dunn had just completed elaborate drawings of the stage, and a corps of workmen had arrived to set it up. Ann Lanier, who had opened up her own exclusive shop on Fifth Avenue, was designing special ensembles for the cast and explaining to Lorraine Taylor and Inez Lester just how these clothes should be made. The famous makeup artists. Maynard and Davey, orig- inators of the special formula for buckwheat makeup, were hard at work putting a moustache on Robert Smith, who still hadn't grown one. Betty Prichard, now of Hollywood, was busily demonstrating to the 10? 1 945 CAVALIER GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL inexperienced actors that certain technique, while Yolanda Cardclli, noted teacher of expression, tried des- perately to keep the attention of the boys centered on their lines. We caught sight of Frances Shackelford playing some old records she had found in a corner of her record shop. Near her were those beautiful blonde ballerinas, Kathryn Benton and Betty Jefferson, who were attempting to even up a line number composed of Peggy Burn, Ella Crews, Judith Lewis, and Ailene Jones. These girls seemed a little stiff even after housecleaning all of these twenty years. Mary Clippard and Vivian Good, managers of a beauty shop, were trimming the long curly locks of “Runt” Moore, formerly employed as the guinea pig for a patented Grow-Mo’-Hair company. Mary Alice Yowell. author of Here’s the Way You Spell It.” was revising the script, as Billie Mays and Gloria Richardson, expert typists, pounded in the corrections. To refresh those hard at work (very few, as usual), businessman Maynard Wilson, had set up a snack bar which he stocked with soft drinks from Connie and Doris’ “White White Bottling Company,” and with delicious Juanita biscuits and cakes made at Crank Hanks Bakery. Furniture from Harry Tucker’s Store was now being brought in. Frances Adams, interior decorator, and Cathon Neal, her assistant, were directing the arrangements for the set. Meanwhile more classmates had arrived. Carolyn Cook and Margaret Dillon came by plane from Europe where they had been doing relief work; Elsie Fuller and Irene Thornton, enroute to Washington to takeover Civil Service jobs, stopped by the school; but a message from Alice Kilby and Mary Tyler Newman, members of Milton’s City Council, informed us that these two would be unable to make the trip right away, as Mr. Ellis’ car was not working so well. After all of the routine work was completed, it took only about a week to film the picture. During this time, the whole group was staying at James Barker’s hotel or Martha Gibson’s tourist home. In our spare moments, when we were neither before a grinding camera nor posing for Ruby Hines and Mary Dodd, professional photographers, a group of us took sight-seeing tours around Danville. As we went along, we learned a number of things about other former classmates. Harry Graves had set up a thriving undertaking concern down on Gay Street and was working along with Alfred Martin, owner of a line of ambulances and hearses. Bill white, manager of the world’s heavyweight champ, had organized the Big Bill Battling Company, known the country over as a training ground for prizefighters. We visited the new branch library which we found under the supervision of Bobbye Anne Wilkinson. As we examined the shelves, we noticed no less than three works by 1945 graduates. There were Ruth Jean Simpson’s “Hand book for Navy Wives,” Sammy Love’s “Life and Letters of Love, complete in twenty volumes, and Dot Webb’s “Why Economics? While we were in the library, we met Eleanor Ragland, or rather Dr. Rag- land, head of Memorial Hospital, who told us that Alvin Jarrett, playboy and soldier of fortune, was con- fined to bed because of serious wounds received on an elephant hunt in Siberia. We decided to pay him a visit. As we entered the hospital, we saw Nurses Norma Siviter, Marion Smith, and Dolores Edwards. finally the movie was ready for a showing, and John Brackin offered us the use of his theatre. Since tickets were to be sold in order to finance a huge banquet of celebration. Nelson Motley quickly got his presses rolling to print them. The success was tremendous! Never was a show accepted with such applause! Naturally it went down in history as a great production (who could expect otherwise—just look at its actors and subject.) After the premiere, all of us went to the City Club, owned and operated by Phyllis Reynolds and Shirley Skinnell. Here we found that Torcasa Chattin, city dietitian, had prepared a delicious meal for us and we settled down to eat with that same hustle and bustle of the old “cafeteria days.” Ruth Royster, Jane Terry, and Elizabeth Hughes had also planned wonderful entertainment. This was topped off with the unveiling of large sketches of all the ex-seniors, that had been prepared by Adeline Scarce and Mary Ruth Evans. Finally, all too quickly, the fun came to an end. We had had a perfect time! The curtain came down on another dramatic exhibition of the Class of 45 as the band burst forth with—“Flail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here!!!” 106 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Wc. the graduating class of '45. having fought, struggled, pleaded and bribed all who sought to imbue us with a “general diffusion of knowledge, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament in manner following: FIRST— To our weary and relieved homeroom teachers whose enduring patience and argumentative tactics have pushed us over education’s rocky road, we leave two months, three weeks and one day to call your own. May your carefree days of rest restore your mental and physical health to the high standard it maintained six years ago. so you can remember us as we might have been. Then, dear homeroom teachers, to make sure you don’t remain idle too long, we guarantee to each of you a bunch of blossoming seventh graders to be delivered next September. SECOND— To that rising group of young optimists, the Juniors, we bequeath these long coveted assembly seats. Due to certain shortages, however, we fear that the supply of chewing gum usually furnished beneath each seat has been completely exhausted by now. but maybe your heart desires will be just as fascinated by assembly programs like Miss Jean Thompson’s! Just ask Dickie Walker! There are a lot of little things that you, as sophisticated seniors, ought to know. Did you ever hca’ tell of Senior Privileges? (We heard of them, too. period.) Well, we would like to inform you about a few of these exclusives: ( I ) the right to be called on at all times and all places to do any and every odious task. (2) ditto. (3) same. (4) etc. So you see, there’s a real advantage in being a Senior. THIRD— To the yearning Sophomores. Lindow White, Dan Overbey, Jimmy Hamlin, and Dan Overbey, we leave Betty Brewer, whose fatal fascination will most likely cause quite a few casualties next year. Since the coming year will find you Juniors, we will you those honored balcony scats. May you keep a close watch on that favorite guy or gal to make sure that neither he nor she will be attacked by stray wolves or wolverines. FOURTH— While we arc on the subject of animals, wc will to the Freshmen the eerie biology lab, its snakes, frogs and hearts. Yes, they were heartless days we spent in that queer environment. Flow well we remember our numb and shriveled fingers, our burning noses and throats, as tears streamed down our faces. Wc even drew pictures of each one. so wc would never forget them. Those days were priceless, but, for less than that, we give them to you. FIFTH— To the innocent eighth graders we will a set. in fact sixteen sets—to be exact—of beautiful mimeo- graphed nine-week tests. We know they’re tough, kids, but that’s high school. So. when your hopes fall to your toes, stick your chin up, your nose in a book, the technicolor type preferably, and tell yourself, If Boots Dameron did it, so can I! Also, since we arc in such a generous mood, we leave you this $64 question, Which shall it be, Latin or Spanish? If you choose the former, you’ll have to buy a pony; if, the latter, you’ll have to pay a tutor, namely—well, we can’t tell names and tales, too. but the initials arc A. K. It’ll cost you cither way. and we do mean plenty! 107 945 CAVALIER GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOC SIXTH— To the midgets of the G. W.-ites we leave the school in general, or rather what's left of it. But, on second thought, that’s such a big rat for such little cats (no reference to personalities) we add these helpful hints: (1) Boys, don’t be afraid of those sophisticated Seniors. If you want a date with one of them, it’s yours for the asking, isn't it Nappy? (2) If those big bullies like Walter Bridges nose into your affairs of the heart, just call 3056-R. in care of Williams Brothers, Inc., and have your troubles Sliclfed out in no time. (3) From now on. as from then 'til now. A’s are few and far between. But. if you lug all your books home every day and learn at least one thing out of each one, we promise ya' you will be a genius just like Robert Smith. (4) Remember that next year you will be able to speak with the voice of experience to those far fresher and greener than you. LASTLY— Since nothing is complete without it, we dedicate this last corner to Cupid—(Stop pushing. Matt, there's plenty of room for everybody)—and to those whose talents have been so well sharpened during their G. W. days. To-wit: ITEM I. Billy McCubbins leaves his ability to swing a racket to John Wood. This offer does not include his other racket, however—namely. Jean Bennett. ITEM 2. Harper 'n Haynsworth will their abilities as homemakers to G. G. Fralin ’n Dot Wyatt with hopes they live “happily ever after. ITEM 3. Harry Graves leaves to David Fralin his greatest accomplishment, that of “shooting bull. ITEM 4. Bob “Scooper Mills bequeaths his friendly personality and rug-cutting ability to Charlie Willie. IT EM 5. Bruce “Ride ’em Cowboy Cook leaves his boots and saddle to Betty Mae Allen. ITEM 6. Gus hup-two-three Dyer leaves his blood, sweat and tears to Eddie Matney, who nose all. ITEM 7. Ailcne Jones leaves Bill with a Slone heart for any soulful glances that may come his way. ITEM 8. “Pee-Wee Shelton leaves his roving eyes to Jimmy Allred, past master of this famous art. ITEM 9. Jimmy Bernard wills his intelligence to one whose name belies the fact that he has any, name- ly, Dopey Reynolds. ITEM 10. Carolyn Graham leaves her “There I’ve Said It Again” voice to Mat Crawley. Long may he bellow! We do hereby appoint as sole executors of this will Taffy Topaz Hill and Andy Naylor. In witness thereof, having hereunto set our hand and seal this twenty-fifth day of May, in the year one thousand nine hundred and forty-five. Testatrix: Nell Penn Watt. Witnesses: The Look (Courtesy of Lauren Bacall) Lt. HOTSHOT Charley (Courtesy of Terry and The Pirates) Measles (Courtesy of Dick Tracy) 108 OUR PROMISE As we embark on our journey of Life, Armed to the teeth, we'll use courage and fight. Yes! Fight to nfin; to conquer rampant strife. Conquer—so all may see that glowing Light, Whose rays of Freedom pulse our evry vein. The rays which freed us from the tyrant's reign. We go into a world of pain and grief Distorted by war, and stained with blood. We go to build a peace; to bring relief; To calm all fears; to stay the tears that flood. Our tasl( is hard, but strong is our power. We'll wor!(, strive, and fight, but we'll not cower. The fight will be long, but it shall be won Through many a struggle, fierce and hard. We'll stick to our task until it is done. Endowed with the will and Grace of our Cod. Our children shall see a peaceful world. With Freedom's bright flag over it unfurled! —DOLORES EDWARDS.
