George Washington High School - Cavalier Yearbook (Danville, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 180 of the 1946 volume:

We will never bring disgrace on this, our city . . . We will transmit this city . . . greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us”—Athenian Cried DiL 1946 CAVALIER II A IV V I L L E V I II Ii I IV I A orewon ]C L • • • As we, the graduating class of 46, move forward into the steady stream of human progress—as we draw up sharply at reaching a peak in our charted lives—our eyes instinctively view the past. It is a past rich and alluring, and one in which our city has played a leading role. The rapid chant of the tobacco auctioneer, the loud blast of the mill whistles, the crowded buses along the beautifully shaded streets, the cheerful greetings of friendly people, an alert WBTM, often featuring on programs G. W. boys and girls, and the hearty cooperation between city and school in many important civic movements will linger in our memories and will color our entire lives. bach student takes with him as he goes forward, his own character, initiative, ability, training, and a portion of his city life. These are his possessions, to mould, each in his own way, into a lasting tower of success. As a future citizen of the city, incidentally of any part of the globe, a George Washington graduate may feel confident of finding his place in the world of tomorrow. Possessing eleven warehouses, Danville is one of the largest bright leaf tobacco markets in the country. As a local industry it is often referred to as the World’s Best Tobacco Market. Winter snow in Danville presents to lovers of beauty an exquisite scene, long to be remembered. The Riverside and Dan River Cotton Mills have acquired for Danville the title, the home of the largest textile mills in the South”. The great span of bridges across the Dan is one of the scenic beauties of the city and one in which its citizens have great pride. ICCI To Mrs. Nora Payne Hill, the head of the English Depart- ment and faculty adviser of THE CHATTERBOX, we, the current senior class, dedicate the ’46 CAVALIER in appreciation for her faithful and efficient service. Mrs. Hill’s unswerving loyalty to the highest standards in English and journalism, her excellent judgment, her charm- ing and interesting personality have inspired admiration from students and teachers alike. It is through her untiring efforts that our school can boast of national prominence in journalism, and we feel that with her leadership we may anticipate even greater recognition. Now when our last high school days arc drawing near, we, the miserable wretches” of G. W. H. S., can boast to the world with pride, We have served under Mrs. Hill.” [12] G. L. H.

[22] mSTHIHUTIVE EllUCATIDN CLASS Through the Distributive Education classes at George Washington High School, students are prepared for the field of distribution. Furthermore, these classes form an important link between the school and the community. Classes are held here in school, where they are taught retailing. Their downtown work in the stores is the laboratory part of the program, where they put into practice what they have learned in school. The downtown stores cooperate splendidly in the course. Thrifty students are taking advantage of this learn-while-you-work method. Some will continue their studies in college, recognizing the fact that retailing has become important as a profession. This training covers instruction in pleasant human relations, variety in experience, and a knowledge of the security of year-round employment. Also, the students realize wonderful opportunities for advancement. f 241 Upper Left: Rachel Haraway (Woolworth � ); Center Ixft: Irene Shelton (Diana Shop); l.ouer Ixft: Agnes Walton, Clarence Bartec (Sears, Roebuck tc Co.); Upper Right: Horace Brumfield (Piggly-Wiggly); Imuct Right: Bill Fitzgerald (Ace Office Supply Co.).

W. are proud. And they have gone beyond the call of duty”! Upon request of the USO in Blackstonc, Va., this organiza- tion has presented plays and various entertainment for the boys in service. Civic clubs of Danville have also witnessed performances of these students. The applause of the audience fol- lowing any performance of these young dramatists will disclose the choice of the people in enjoying the best in high school dramatic pro- ductions. [59] THE HMJSE OF SEVEN GABLES Discussing with his financec the overhanging portrait of a staunch Pyncheon ancestor (drawn for the set by Mary Elizabeth Dodson) and all the Puritan traditions of his New England family, Clifford (John Coffey) and Margaret (Margie Shelton) open the Prologue of The House of Seven Gables.” In November, 1945, the George Washington Dramatics Class, under the direction of Miss Dorothy Fitzgerald, presented an adaptation of Hawthorne’s famous House of Seven Gables”. The scene repro- duced below occurs in the Prologue, in which at a party given by the Pyncheons, guests chat gaily, unaware of the impending tragedy. Patience (Nancy Mabes) and Colonel Pyncheon (Teddy Huggins) arc seen at the sofa; Hepzibab (Alice Garrett) and her brother, Clifford (John Coffey) talk by the fireside; while Lucy (Maryle Jones) reads Margaret’s (Margie Shelton’s) palm. [60] (i.W.H.S. MILITARY CORPS The Military Corps, first organized in 1942, con- sists of two Rifle Companies, and a Battalion Head- quarters. Supervising the Battalion is the Cadet Com- mission, composed of the Major, Adjutant, and Captains of the Companies. Under this system the Cadets are self-disciplined and self-governed. The purpose of the organization is first, to familiar- ize its members with the basic training they will receive upon entering the armed forces; second, to learn and practice Military courtesy, discipline and customs of the service; third to realize the need of physical fitness for the vigorous training of the service. Captain Herbert S. Caldwell, a veteran of World War I, during which he participated in five major operations, came to George Washington High School in 1942, after a year as commandant of the Jaycee Flight School. While here at G. W., he has trained numbers of boys for World War II. He has every reason to be proud of his achievement, for many of his trainees advanced rapidly in their lines of service. He is hoping, how- ever, there will be no World War III. Captain Herbert S.

FOOTBALL ’45 Although failing to meet the 1.000 average of the 1944 football squad, the 1945 Cardinal eleven came through the most difficult schedule in the school's history with three wins, seven losses, and two tics. The Rcdbirds had only three first-stringers from the 1944 State Championship team returning to the gridiron sport la t fall when the first drill was held on September 1. The ‘45 squad had to be built around this nucleus, the remaining positions filled with candidates from last year's reserves and Junior Varsity. When the Cardinals lined up against Schoolfield in the season opener, the following faces were seen in the start- ing lineup: Ed Matncy, left end; Walter Baucom, left tackle; Bill Fitzgerald, left guard; Walter Bridges, center; John Reynolds, right guard; Lindow White, right tackle; Charlie Travnham, right end; Jacky Mowbray, quartcr- Aithough failing to meet the 1,000 average of the 1944- and Robert Ramey, fullback. After a muddy encounter which allowed only straight football, the closing whistle found the locals on the top side of a 13-0 score. Rcidsvillc invaded the home grounds the following week to take a cloic game from the determined Rcdbirds, 13-12. The Cards played the Lions on even terms throughout and only brute force and weight advantage of the visitors determined the final outcome. Arlington brought one of the best-drilled elevens to Danville local fans had seen in a long time, and handed the lighter Cardinals their worst defeat in several years. It was Arlington all the way. Final score 25-0. After the disappointing loss of the previous week, ’.cvcral changes were made.

Also, various changes were made in the lineup. Charlie Williamson took over the injured Bill Fitzgerald’s left guard position, and in the backfield, Peyton Hatcher was upped to quarterback. Robert Ramey shifted to right halfback and Richmond Williamson installed at fullback. The following week, the Cardinals journeyed to Norfolk to play Maury High School. With only three days of work on their new T formation, the Cards met the powerful Commodores before S,S 00 cheering fans at Foreman's Field, and tied them 6-6. The Commodores were consistently outplayed throughout the game. On October 1). the Redbirds encountered the Justices of John Marshall at League Park. Although outweighed by 25 pounds per man, the Cards bulled through and soundly thrashed the visitors to the tune of 13-0. For the first time, the GW running attack clicked, smashing through the line as well as around the ends. The following week, Lynchburg took a 13-0 encounter from the hard-fighting Redbirds before 4,500 disappointed fans at League Park. The locals showed up well, but couldn’t muster up the punch to put it over. Hitting the road for the next four contests, the locals dropped the first to Hampton 16-0 before 9,000 specta- tors. Danville fans who made the trip said the Cardinals played their best game thus far, regardless of the score. Winston-Salem bulled through the greatly-outweighed GW line on November 2, to down the Redbirds in the second half, 15-2. The Cards just could not get started and the case was the same the following week as Harding of Charlotte downed the stubborn Cardinals 7-0 in their beautiful American Legion Stadium. The fighting Cards, in their last out-of-town encounter, bounced back in the second half to tie Salem 6-6 in the Roanoke College Stadium. The Wolverines smashed through the injury-riddled GW lineup early in the first period for their only score, but were greatly outplayed by the locals for the remainder of the game. Several scores by the Redbirds were called back because of penalties or other technical difficulties. In a rough and tough scramble at League Park on Turkey Day, the Cards were defeated by Charlottesville in the first four minutes of play, when the visitors scored their two touchdowns. During the last three periods it was an all-Cardinal affair, but the locals were able to put it over only once in addition to a safety. The score—13-8. John Archer Reynolds (All-Western District) Co-Capt. Numa Bkadner (All State, Second Team) FOOTBALL ’45 Outweighed some seven or eight pounds, the Redbirds were determined nevertheless that it was to be their day, and they completely crushed Hargrave SI-6 in the sea- son’s finale. Bradner. was the big gun for the locals, scoring five times and passing for a sixth. So in reality, even though the won and lost column is a little top-heavy on the losing side. Coach Ferguson's boys didn’t fare too badly, and excellent preparation is in order for next year. The Cards will, however, miss the following first-stringers who arc seniors or will be lost to the draft: Charlie Traynham, John Reynolds, Eddie Matney, Peyton Hatcher, and Numa Bradner. (For the Jenny-Brewer version see page 126). Co-Cap . Walter Bridges (All-Western District) Coach Fletcher W. Ferguson In the past two years Coach Fletcher W. Ferguson has replaced Coach Gerry Quirk, who has been on leave with the United States Navy. The return of Coach Quirk to G. W. H. S. next September will mean the loss of Coach Ferguson.

BASKETBALL ’46-Cnntiniieil Starting the season in December Captain Dick Hurd, Maynard Reynolds, Milton Green- berg, Buddy Stutts, and Jack Mowbray were in the lineup that ran rough-shod over Stuart and Ferrum. After the Christmas holiday Milton Greenberg was the first loss suffering with flu. Charlie Traynham rose to the occasion and replaced Greenberg at center and at the same time Reynolds was moved up to forward with Hurd. Walter Bridges became Jacky Mowbray's running mate at guard. This combination dropped only two of the following eight games, to Roanoke and to Reidsville in an overtime. However, Reidsville got the short end of a 29 to 14 score at the hands of the Redbirds a week later. At the turn of the semester difficulties set in. Mowbray was classed ineligible; however, Greenberg returned fully recovered. Another change was made in the Cards line up. Reynolds and Traynham at forward, Milton Greenberg, center, with Hurd and Bridge at guard. This shake-up took time for adjustment. During' the interval G. W. was easy prey for its opponents, as Lynchburg, Hargrave, Roanoke, and Salem overwhelmed Danville. Before the second Lynchburg game coach Ferguson made his last adjustment. Hurd was returned to forward and Traynham teamed with Bridge at guard. This change seemed to do the trick, as the cardinals defeated Lynchburg and Salem to land the third place spot in the Western District race.

A CHALLENGE Margaret Buck As we launch into the future l earless of shores where we embark. We chant a song of faith and courage To steer us onward; toward life’s mark. With the cessation of all hostilities In a world stained with blood and strife. There comes a challenge to all who accept it. That of finding a richer, fuller life! With an unquenchable and sustaining faith We devote ourselves to the task Of founding a peaceful tomorrow for all. Which with Almighty God’s help, shall last. [123] COME HITHEH Based on The Fable of the Skylark A skylark sniffed the delightful air And uttered his trilling note: The world was beauty and love his song. Handsome feathers his silken coat. Each day it was fun and easier to do To pluck for the coachman a feather, So the finely dressed man and the gay little lark Daily did business together . . . He jauntily fluttered his youthful wings As he circled in the sky that day. But his proud little head twirked sharp as a whip When he spotted a brilliant array. But a day came sooner than skylark had dreamed When—he could not fly at all. Then with head tucked low, and steps too slow, His happiness turned to gall. For below him there stood on the wide smooth road A coachman with high cocked hat. With blue satin coat and vest of gold Bright red breeches and black cravat. Long in thought the skylark stayed— But at last he raised his head: ”1 know of a plan, a very good plan. The coachman must give me feathers instead! The skylark drew nearer to this vision bright That he might hear his alluring cry: O Skylark, dear Skylark, come hither to me; I have wares to sell. Will you buy?” Such a fine coachman is an honorable man. That I do surely believe. He'll hear my fair story, he'll listen to me, And my feathers I’ll soon retrieve.” The daring young skylark with sparkling eyes Flew ever closer to earth, For one dressed so gorgeous as the coachman was Would surely have goods of worth. The little bird struggled as never before, To achieve fearfully late ambition; He dug rich earth, he found fat worms— He’d regain his worldly position. Come hither, dear Skylark, come hither to me! Surely we can come to terms! For a feather or two of yours, my dear, I’ll give you nice juicy worms!” Then he returned to the coachman grand And uttered his solemn plea: O Coachman fine,” he said to him, sell worms; you pay feathers to me!” The skylark twittered and flitted about, Then plucked a feather or two, That is no chore, O Coachman grand, Tomorrow again I’ll come to you!” The coachman sputtered and looked askance, Unable to perceive such terms. Away, he said, you foolish bird, It's feathers I want, not worms.” The little bird trudged down the wide smooth road. And his day was as black as night. For the effortless life the skylark had lived Was suddenly devoid of light. [124] THE STORY OF THE YEAH Jenny Johnson and Betty Brewer Onward Danville, onward Danville, Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight” (This could go on foreverl) 'ur team really did fight hard this season, But they call it unnecessary roughness,” quote Charlie Willie as we are penalized 1S yards. The Cards got off to a flying start September 14 on the Bi-State League ground playing School- field. The grandstand—correction—bleachers —were packed with hundreds of enthusiastic G. W. fans. They kept yelling, Our team is red hot!!” The Redbirds turned back the Green Dragons with a 13-0 score. Then came Rcidsville. The fans kept yelling, Our team is red—hot?” The score was.......... j i j i Our next game was with Arlington. There was a lot of confusion in the huddle because Matncy wanted to take off his noseguard. But Co- captain Bridges, for the good of the team, said, No.” He was afraid they would be penalized for off-sides. The next tangle for the Cards came when they met Maury at Norfolk. This game ended in a 6 to 6 tie. Several of our linesmen, one in par- ticular, proved to be so good that a sailor said, If Maury had worn red uniforms they would have had five men in their backficld.” This remark refers to Johnny Reynolds, who was really the spark plug of that game. Great play- ing, fella. October 13 was the date of our next game and this time we played John Marshall of Richmond. There was really no Justice in this game for we walked all over their team with a 1 3 to 0 score. Lynchburg came next and revenged their two defeats of last year by turning back the Cards. The score meant nothing and that's what we got. Any team can play football but you really have to be good to be able to run around your own end. Then Hampton—and the great fun all had on the chartered bus. And who were the brilliant souls who slept up in the suitcase compartment —with the ottjer bags?? None other than Nell Marie Hamlin, Slick” Williams, Landon Over- bey and another party whose name we won’t mention here. Some of the G. W. students cer- tainly picked-up some swell souvenirs in Rich- mond. Something to remember their good times by. Incidentally, there was a game that day. The score was . . . oh, let’s not go into that. But we did go into Winston-Salem the next week only to lose, but we were not discouraged, for next week, November 10, we played Char- lotte—only to lose—but we were not discour- aged for the next week we played Salem but we were not discouraged for we tied the Wolverines 6 to 6. It was a grcat day for the Cardinals!!!!! The next week heralded in Homecoming. For this gala occasion the Monogram Club chose Doris Hundley Queen Homecoming VIII and [126] Franny Barr and B Hylton as her attendants. On Thanksgiving day the Cards met Lane High of Charlottesville in the annual Homecoming game. There were such joyous events as the presentation of the Queen at the game, and the Homecoming Dance at which she was crowned by Mr. Herbert Ellis. Hilarity reigned and so did Doris. All hail the Queen!!! But Doris replies, I dare you hail me while I’m reigning. The game was real exciting. The score??? Oh, that's a minor detail. The Rcdbirds ended their season with a tri- umphant victory of 51-6 over the Hargrave IC-dets. The Tigers really got clawed in this game. Most of our team proved to be very thirsty and kept calling for water all through the game. Could be ’cause Doris Hundley was acting watcrgirl at this game. Credit should be given where credit is due so we want to congratulate our cheer-leading squad for outstanding leadership in yells. So to Richard Wells, head cheerleader (and Ulin Hamlin, who’s on the other end), Eleanor Hos- kings, R. I). Vernon, Franny Barr, Charlie Davis, Nell Marie Hamlin, and Jean Farley, the school gives 15 for goo ! Some of the team bequeath certain character- istics and abilities to remaining players: Item 1: Eddie Matncy leaves his nose guard to Bridges—who certainly needs it. He’d leave it to Numa, too, (but rybc Bradner won’t be here next year.) Item II: Traynham leaves his ability to lose teeth to Lindow White, whose not doing so bad on his own. (We like his new upper-plate.) Item III: Managing the team is left by Dick Hurd to Berkeley Keck. Item IV: Johnny Reynolds leaves . . . er . . . ah . . . well, he leaves it to Dan Overbey, anyway. Item V: Peyton’s just leaving so right about here we will, too. Witnesses: Itchy (courtesy of Dick Tracy) He had to scratch his name. Lord Twiffie (courtesy of Little Orphan Annie) We waited for the spirit to move him. [127] WHO S WHO Hi G. W. H. S. aucia amrrroiiiA tU h MAIN STREET ENTRANCE CUTEST............ . .

QUichl and an Now that it’s spring again we arc reminded of spring jokes and summer jokes—some arc jokes and some aren't . . . but nevertheless, we’ll con- tinue with this column and let you decide for yourselves. We know you’ll like them. Now we’ll stop twisting your arm!!!!! Regardless of certain restrictions at school this year we still had fun. Why, we even had our own printing press in the basement—and it wasn't to print money . . . no . . . wc printed out-of-class- permits and Pat the penman” signed ’em. Now it can be « !!!!! A little on the serious side now—our memories of G. W. are lasting and we’ll always remember our alma mater as the spot we had our most enjoyable times and spent the best years of our lives. In fact most of them. (Note to readers: We don’t know why Brewer’s getting so sentimental—she's not leaving.—J. J. A. E.) Johnny Wood: Oh, 1 just hit my crazy bone. Cynthia Ann Corcoran: You poor thing! You must hurt all over. The only thing Adam would recognize if he came back to earth would be the jokes. Weather Bureau Lindo White: Do you think it will rain? Susie Upchurch: 1 don’t know—it all depends on the weather. (We haven’t decided whether this is a joke or not. We really aren’t trying to snow you. But maybe you’ll catch on in Jew time. We adore weather 'cause there’s so much of it!!) I warn Your History Patt Murphy: Phyllis Fralin thinks July the Fourth was one of our kings. H. A. Burnett: That’s really funny. What country was he king of? Men Wanted Jeanne Dyer: What do you prefer best in a man . . . personality, money, or appearance?

Gordon Woody: Well, she’s half right. Bang!! Bang!! Bobby Jones: We’ll shoot on the count of one. Gene Verner: No, we’ll shoot on the count of three. Bobby: No, we’ll shoot on account of we don’t like each other. Don’t ever stop in the pressroom for information . . . if wc knew anything we wouldn’t be here.

ON LOOKING BACK by Anne Taylor Through her halls we have walked, gaily laughing as we talked; In her classrooms we have found the desired knowledge so profound; And to her teachers who gave their time so that each of us might develop his mind We extend our hands in gratitude as we now complete this final interlude. Reviewing the years here happily spent, recalling how swiftly they came and went, When to be a senior was our greatest aim and for this goal we strove to gain, Now we find having won the race, we reluctantly turn to leave the place— Seeing her walls so staunch and strong, surrounding the busy hurrying throng, Her floors daily trod by scurrying feet, her halls often used as a place to meet .. . We recall the assemblies we have seen (that snake charmer was really on the beam!) And of how daily we climbed those flights of steps (as for going down, well, the banister helps!). Then come the memories of dear old Gym, which we took merely to keep us trim. Yet in the gym we did also eat, alistenin’ to the music soft and sweet. Then there was first period, only an hour long, and you sat lookin’ at the clock, alistenin’ for the gong! On to second class, then through third: commenced the fourth: oh dear, the thundering herd! It was just the Juniors on their way to chow—poor Seniors, another half hour to bear! The last year, oh my! how it did fly, nine weeks’ test a-staring in the eye; And you wondered why—? oh why?? Did you have to suffer so, before you could die? But then those happy dances by the old jute box, giving out with the jive many good trots, And the figures that were cut by the bobby sox, never regarding the clock’s tick-tocks. It took all these things to make up school, just as a ball and a cue go to make pool. And we wouldn’t have missed it for anything; in fact we wouldn’t mind doing it over again! So to her, the school of whom we boast, we’d like to present this final toast: Here’s to you, G. W. High, Hearts full of love for days gone by; For within your walls we found cheer and joy, An individual spot for each girl and boy; We think of you now with gratitude sublime; You will remain in our hearts, aye, for all time!
