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

Text from Pages 1 - 186 of the 1947 volume:

His work well done, the leader stepped aside, Spurning a crown with more than kingly pride, Content to wear the higher crown of worth, While time endures, First Citizen of Earth. James Jeffrey Roche—Washington. Hi dfiqh Sdfwol DANVILLE, VIRGINIA When the final days of summer blend into the fall, our minds arc struck by the beauties of our campus, clothed by Nature in her regal splendor. ,'sr' i Conlcnls PAGE 13 21 49 55 73 79 117 127 135 Administration Activities oi the School Military Athletics Dramatics The Senior High Junior High The Features Advertising To succeeed is our motive, the ends of the world our limit” Jwetoorct As our eager eyes search for the lofty aims of life, which seem ever just beyond our reach, we are buoyed up by the hope that surges within us, the hope that some day we may take our place by the great citizens of the world. Ours is a world, the future of which we ourselves deter- mine by the influence of our leadership, our character, and our qualities of citizenship. It is a world built by the ceaseless toils of our fore- fathers, colored and enriched by the courageous, adventure- some spirit of the Virginia Cavalier. We are determined to attack our problems with a simi- lar fortitude, and pray that we may carry on with as much fervor, dignity, and resourcefulness. Voss Neal and Betty Gard- ner represent the school’s choice as Mr. and Miss Cav- alier, who in this scene take our minds back over the sands of time to the bygone age of early Virginia. We see the Cavalier couple as they step in after a tiresome jour- ney to read a letter by the roaring fire. HOMECOMING DANCE These modern Cavaliers” were celebrating one of the big events of the high school year, the formal Homecoming Dance, at which the Queen and her attendants were honored. Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, with- out which neither freedom nor justice could be permanently maintained” —James Garfield. Herbert A. Eli.is, Jr. t$e ticatfoh It is with a mixed feeling of pride and gratitude that we, the graduating class of 1947, dedicate this annual to you, Mr. Ellis, who have done so much to help us through- out our years at G.W. By your pleasing personality, your friendliness, your untiring efforts, you have not only helped us individually with our problems, small and large, but you have also done much to create a spirit of cooperation in our school. You have, by your example, taught us unselfishness and how to get along with others, thus enabling us to become better citizens. Because of your true Cavalier spirit we shall always remember you, not only as our teacher, but as our friend. G. L. H. Johnson O. T.

Class Activities This group of active stu- dents comprising the Dis- tributive Education classes, arc shown as they leave the training grounds to enter the retailing held. Home Ec. Yum! Yum! Doesn’t that look good — the food, we mean. Yes, those arc mighty nice dishes in this scene from the Home Ec. Class. Typing This class really clicks. It is a section of the large num- ber of students taking typing this year. Chemistry Lab Cisco” seems extremely confident that he will have a glass full of something or other as he and Fruit” carry on experiments in the lab un- der the watchful eye of Chemistry Instructor, Walker Ford. OCR Ai G. W. On The Air These students seem to be up in the air about some- thing, and with reason, for it’s ‘‘G. W. on the Air,” our own weekly radio program. Library Scene Miss Greenberg is explain- ing to Jean that ’’Forever Amber” is not listed under the ”A’s”. Donald, who is al- ready thumbing through the F’s” seems to be one jump ahead. Math Class These outstanding figures (the two in the foreground) depict a typical scene from Mrs. Motley’s math class. History Class Here Buddy takes a close- up view, of an international hot spot during a current event discussion in Miss Mary Oliver’s history class. English Class Ye-es! But arc you sure it is original?” asks Mrs. Hill, as Martha reads a composition before the English Class. Print Shop Although these serious faces may make you think this a dull class, it is in real- ity one of the most produc- tive groups in school. Many helpful jobs are performed by this printing class, which is directed by James Van Oot. Mechanical Drawing Class Mr. Grau seems to hold the interest of these future draftsmen, who will help re- lieve the shortage of homes in Danville. Wood Shop Under the critical guidance of Roland Porky” Bacon these students of the wood shop class labor industriously on their individual projects, but we catch that just- wait - ’til - his - back’s-turned” gleam in Charles’ eye. Public Speaking Ewell is demonstrating the principals of effective speech to the Public Speaking Class while Mr. Ellis stands by to wake up the listeners in case they do not hear the bell. Latin Class The expressions on these students’ faces seem to say, It is all Latin to me,” as Dr. Allen brings out a grammati- cal point before the Latin Class. Office Machine Class This scene from the Office Machine Class shows but one of the numerous phases of the class which prepares the stu- dents to handle complicated machinery in the business of- fices of the city.

W. yearbook. Through the untiring efforts of these staff members, the high caliber of previous George Washington annuals has been maintained and even improved in many respects. The Class of ’47 and the students of G. W. have this group to thank for preserving the memory of the events and achievements that make a typical school year at George Washington High School. In writing, financing, and editing this yearbook, the staff has striven to make the 47 Cavalier a book that will be treasured for many years to come. «I 26 V THU CHATTERBOX Friday afternoon at 3:20—time for The Chat- terbox! These staff members seem to have their copies and judging from their happy expressions, they are quite proud of the national and state honors which have been awarded the paper for its high standards in journalism. Since it was founded in 1922 the Chatterbox has received the Medalist rating from Columbia Scholastic Press Association, first place trophies from Southern Inter-Scholastic Press Association, Pace-maker rating from Na- tional Scholastic Press Association, and Interna- tional Honor rating from Quill and Scroll.

THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society is sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. The George Washington Chapter, under the direction of Miss An- toinette Parker, was chartered in 1943. Only students who have attained an average of ninety or above in academic sub- nun.i. aim ii riCiuiu. Among this array of tics, sport shirts, reindeer sweaters, and T-shirts can be found the writers of G. W., who arc members of Quill and Scroll”, international honor society for high school journalists. Students on The Chatterbox and The Cavalier staffs who have met with the qualifications are chosen for this honor by Mrs. Nora Payne Hill, faculty sponsor, and Miss Ethel Dodson. The members (1) must be of at least a junior standing, (2) must be in the upper third of their class at the time of their election, (3) must have done superior work in some phase of journalistic or creative endeavors, (4) must be recommended by the supervisors governing publications.

These famished gentlemen seem to be in a great hurry to dig into those tantalizing victuals. They arc our Junior Rotarians who arc selected, one for each month, to attend the Rotary Club meetings. They arc chosen to represent the varied interests around the school, such as scholastic achievement, athletic ability, leadership, and distinction in journalism.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS ELIO Now here is something you can put your finger on,” says Mr. Motley, as this inter- nationally minded group discuss a topic of current interest. This club was organized to stimulate interest in the national and international af- fairs. They have the opportunity, at forum meetings, to express their views on these sub- jects as well as to hear the opinions of others. In our world of today, these students believe that such discussions arc vital toward maintaining and preserving world peace. i 33 y FLOTILLA Rawthcr crowded, eh what! But these members of the Flotilla Club take it all in stride. The Club which is a division of the Y. W. C. A., is organized to promote higher ideals among the girls in the fields of religion, social and personal relations, health, arts and crafts. Though not an integral part of the school, it is made up entirely of high school girls, and is one of their most popular clubs. OPEN HOUSE EIOYEII. The well represented group of boys and girls above serve as a council for the popular High School Open House, held every Friday night at the local Y. W. C. A. This group was chosen by the stu- dent body.

W. form a union for social and religious aims. While carrying out the Hi-Y purpose to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character, the members still find time to sponsor dances, parties, and athletic teams. These senior high boys, who met the qualifications and were voted into the club, arc proud of being members of the Hi-Y. 35 k Left to Right: Pete Long, Walter Bridges, Martha Gray Johnson, Bobbie Lee Covington, Betty Camm, Patsy Payne, Mary Speer, Bonnie Lockcrman, Martha Jane Riddle, Miss Lucille Walton. ART CLASS Hold that pose! While the camera man is catching these artists, they seem intent on sketching him. Art at G. W. has grown popular under Miss Walton’s leadership, un- til the class represents many of the leading students. Outstanding work is done each year, finally ending with an exhibit in the down town stores. By the way, the art in this book was done by these artists. True Nancy Willard is missing—ask her why. Jeanne Bennett is out too, but she was absent that day. i 36 y HIM Mill SCHIII.ASTIi: PRESS ASSOCIATIUN Bobby Paylor certainly holds an envious position in this picture. Just think! All the way to New York and back with ten G. V. gals. Every year a group of G. W. journalists, selected on basis of high scholastic stand- ards, is chosen to represent George Washington at the Columbia Scholastic Press Associa- tion in New York. At these meetings the students are instructed in journalism, and are entertained at parties, such as a dinner at Hotel Astor. The rest of the time is spent exploring the city, and taking in the famous sights of Broadway. Si:atiu , left to right: Gene Wilson, Barte Frix, Barbara Fowler, Martha Fitclictt, Betty Brewer.

THE SCIENCE lll.l ll I love the laboratory; it is my playhouse,” is the gloomy outlook of the Science Club adviser, Walker H. I'ord, who here seems to have deserted the lab for the outdoors. The students who compose this club are interested in pursuing scientific careers. They carry on experiments and do research work in the various fields of science. Membership to the club is open to anyone meeting the requirements of scholarship and ability. Through their active work they further the progress of the school. LITERARY EUNTESTANTS It seems that Robert is the only one who caught on to that joke. The rest of our literary contestants look on quite seriously as Walter delivers a weighty discourse. The group is made up of students who are trying out for the State Literary Contest, which includes Public Speaking, Prose Reading, Debating, Poetry Reading, Dramatics. Those chosen from this group to represent our school will enter the district compe- tition and winners of this contest will go to Charlottesville, where the State Contest is held.

Well, after all, they have a pleasant place in which to work and a most efficient boss, Miss Hilda Greenberg. After being exposed to the inner sanctum” of books and methods of exposing them to others, these girls are far on the way toward being librarians or assistant librarians of other schools. At least they will know whether or not they wish to choose this type of work for a vocation. junior m u cross Looking pretty proud of themselves, Santa’s little helpers are protecting their in- terest—namely the 117 Christmas packages for children in war-ravaged countries. This was the Senior project for this year. Previously they had filled 1500 Christmas stockings for the Veterans’ Hospital in Roanoke and operated a Red Cross booth at the Danville Fair.

Of course, with these white shirts and stiff collars there’s nothing to be too GLEEful about, but the Glee Club is certainly proud of its reputation as one of the most active groups in school. Miss Oliver, its director (right), has led the Club in many presentations before churches and various organizations in the city. Last year the Glee Club received the Superior rating, the highest ( 42 y THE SYNCUFATHV’ SEVEN Well, plant me now and scratch me later; dig me, daddy, I’m a hot tomato!” Seen below is this year’s edition of the G.

With Porky” Bacon giving the down-beat and introductions by the rhythm section of Ruth Sugar-Child” Dodson and Buddy Rich” Robertson, the band proved to be a great improvement over past high school orchestras. Being able to play only in assemblies because of union disagreements, the orchestra was greatly restricted and the hep-cats who heard them had to be content with tapping their feet and humming along as vocalist June Stevens issued the vocals to the tunes. The inembers include (left to right): front row—James Williams (alto sax); Mr. aeon (tenor sax); Buddy Robertson (drums); Ruth Dodson (piano). Second row— Egbert Williams (trumpet); Norman Glover (trumpet); Ralph Walker (trumpet). 43 V Left to Right: Marvin Schuster, Jimmy Hamlin, Gene Wilson, Robert Ramey, Mary Speer, Jean Lewis, Ramona Cootcr, Nancy Leigh Hall, Buddy White. PEPSI COLA SCHOLARSHIP CIIATLSTANTS Judging from the studious expressions, that test must be a humdinger. But these nine students, who were elected by popular vote of the Senior Class to take the Pepsi- Cola Scholarship exam, all have high scholastic averages and are very capable of taking the test. Perhaps one of these contestants will receive a four year scholarship to the col- lege of his choice, transportation allowances, and expenses for books and laboratory and JUY phdtughaphy mm These future photographers arc quite intent on that picture which Mr. Thomasson is holding; perhaps each thinks he can develop a better.

HUME EEONUMIES I I I II A stitch in time saves embarrassment is the motto of the Home Economics Club, which was organized this year by Miss Elizabeth Simpson, and is made up of students in the seventh and eighth grade home economics classes. The main purposes of this club are to give the girls more initiative and responsibility, and to teach them to be more helpful in their homes. The girls have written a constitution for the Club, and have planned several activi- 46 y THE WASHINGTONIANS These Washingtonians, with Mr. Christopher, their sponsor, taking a sideline scat, arc shown as they seriously discuss plans for a cleaning up campaign of the school.

Y-ITENS Too numerous to mention, these energetic junior high girls compose the Y-Tccns which is made up of the Amazon, Do-Big, True Blue, and Friendship Clubs. They meet and make new friends, learn to associate with others, so that they will make more toler- ant, sociable citizens of Danville. (i. W. H. S.

Three of the games lost were by two or fewer points, showing the inability of the Washingtonians on conversions, and that their record wasn’t as bad as it might at first seem. In their opening encounter the Redbirds trampled the Green Dragons of Schoolficld at League Park by a 27-0 margin. Jacky Mowbray, the outstanding player of the night, accounted for 13 of the G.W. points, and the entire team showed up well. The starting posts were filled by ends—Charlie Flora and Fred Martin; tackles—Lindow White and Walter Baucom; guards—Charles Williamson and Harry Meade; center—Captain Walter Bridges; QB— Runt” Moore; LH—Mowbray; RH—Buck Kccto.n; and FB—Richmond Williamson. The second fray, played under the lights of Reidsville’s Kiker Stadium, was a hcartbreaker for the Cardinals as they dropped a hard fought 7-6 decision to the more experienced Golden Lions. A pass from Barnes to Flora gave the Quirkmen their only score for the night. Matt Crawley took over the guard slot from Meade, who broke his leg in this game. Neither the Magicians from Roanoke or Captain Bridges’ boys could cross to pay dirt here Septem- ber 28, but each team’s goal line stands kept the fan; in constant tension. In the only daytime game here, Maury High of Norfolk caged the Redbirds with their weight, power, and speed. Gates, Polizos and Ranier of the visitors’ backfield gave the Cards a tough afternoon. The locals ended with a 19-6 defeat on their record. Frank Talbott replaced Martin on end, as the latter dropped out of school. {56F 1947 Overbey, Trot Hylcr, Vow Neal, Hal Parrish, Buck Keeton, Donald Martin, Harvey Camm, Ernest White, Coach Gerry 3uirk.

A Mowbray to Flora combination gave the locals the lead in the third quarter, but the Demon� scored later, converting to hand G.W. their second 7-6 defeat. Hitting the road for the first of three out-of-town games, the Birdmen encountered Glass High of Lynchburg. The locals were aerial bound—Flora scored on one. Buddy White, attempting to pass while deep in enemy territory, raced around end to pay dirt when he could find no receiver. Again the G.W. eleven lost because of their inability to convert. Bridges, Flora, and Baucom showed up just as well as in earlier games, but the final score stood, Glass High—14; G.W.—12. Richmond Williamson broke his wrist, leaving his starting post for Bill Barnes and Raymond Knick. Power was the deciding factor in the 38-6 trouncing handed the locals in Hampton October 2 5. The Cardinals got off to a bad start and just couldn’t do anything right. When it became evident that the Danvillians were out-classed, Coach Quirk gave every substitute a chance in the fray. Mowbray scored the lone touchdown. Crawley starred along with Flora and Bridges because of his hard charging. Two members of the ’44 State Championship team returned about this time. Jimmy Allred returned from serv- ice in time to play end in the Hampton game, and Lindy Wells, All-State guard, got back from the Army to participate in the remaining games. The trip to Arlington proved to be hazardous as the Generals over-ran the Washingtonians 40-7, the largest score against them in many seasons. After battling on even terms in the early part of the game, the Cards had a punt blocked which turned the tide against them. However the game was not as one •f 57 y Top, left to right: Jimmy Allred, Walter Baucom, Trot Hylcr, Harry Meade, Matt Crawley, Waite Bridges, Charlie Williamson, Lindy” Wells, Lindow White, Charlie Flora. sided as the score would indicate. B. White intercepted a pass and after racing 40 yards latcralcd to Bridges while being tackled. Bridges passed the double stripe, and this with conversion pass to John Jones proved to be the only scores for the locals. Allred, Bridges, Flora and Wells were best for G.W.’s losing cause.

The conversions failed. Pcarman, left tackle for the Tarheels, showed up above his team mates, and Lindow White and Charlie Williamson stood out for the locals. The fact that Coach Quick announced that he would resign his post as head G.W. mentor Decem- ber 1, to take a State position in Richmond as Assistant Director of Physical Education, was received by the squad with much regret. Gee, they’re powerhouses—bet they cat Wheatics!

Salem, Homecoming and last game of the season, ended the foot- ball careers of fifteen boys just as they wanted to remember it, and made the reign of the queen an enjoyable one. Keeton scored first on a pass from White and then Webber crossed for the Wolverines. The extra point pass was good, giving them a 7-6 lead at half-time. Knowing that this was to end the G.W. football careers for so many boys and the end of Coach Quirk’s nine years of guiding George Washington gridmen, the squad was filled with new vigor for the second half. Runt” Moore raced around right end for a TD, and a Mow- bray to White pass made the score 13-7. The last quarter was a see- saw affair, neither side scoring. Bunting of the rivals proved him- self to be a triple-threat, and Flora performed his punting duties as de- pendable as he did throughout the year. Barnes received a cracked col- larbone and Dan Overbey got water on the knee from their efforts in VARSITY RECORD 27 Schoolficld 0 6 Reidsvillc 7 0 Roanoke 0 6 Maury 19 6 Winston-Salem 7 12 Lynchburg 14 6 Hampton 38 7 Arlington 40 12 Charlotte 6 13 t Salem 7 95 •VI.AL Games. 1 Homecoming. 138 JR.

Returning to GW after two years navy service, Charlie played bang-up ball and led the Redbird scoring from his left end position. He just missed the 1946 A. P. All State team but in 1944 was selected co- captain of that mythical eleven. Mos Valuable Charlie Flora Lindow White was named to lead the 1947 Cardinal aggregation by the lettermen of the 1946 squad. At his left tackle posi- tion, ’'Ike” consistently played a fine brand of football throughout the season. Left to Right: Head Coach Gerry Quirk, Captain Walter Bridges, Coach Vaughn Woodall. When Coach Gerry Quirk announced his resignation as Head Football Coach and Athletic Director to take a post with the State Board of Education, the football squad, the Monogram Club and the cheerleaders decided to pre- sent him with a gift to ex- press their appreciation of his work here. Captain Walter Bridges is shown making the presentation of a pen and pencil set and a football, signed by the members of the team.

Varsity llaskethall The 1946-’47 basketball season will be long remem- bered by students of George Washington and Danville fans who follow the court game. Coach Al Mathes’ boys compiled an impressive season record of sixteen wins and only three losses in a difficult nineteen-game sched- ule. The Cardinal hoopmen racked up 833 points during the year while holding their opponents to only 45 3. The rampaging Redbirds rolled to four easy victories before being derailed. Salem’s championship Wolverines handed the locals their first and worst defeat when they took a 51-35 victory. An impressive 34-31 victory over Carolina’s freshmen followed before the Mathesmen were again beaten. Roa- noke took a close 35-32 victory from the Washington- ians, and their chance for the western crown narrowed. The Cardinals got hot” after this and topped eight straight opponents, including Roanoke, Salem, Lynch- burg, and Carolina’s Freshmen again. The district crown seemed within reach but a heart-breaking 34-33 defeat by Lynchburg killed those hopes and the Birdmen had to be satisfied with runner-up honors. The season ended with wins over Martinsville, H.M.A. and in the last game, the locals ran wild taking a 70 to 29 win from Ferrum Junior College.

Two more! That’s what they’ll say in just a second ’cause if Captain Mike Green- berg doesn’t rack them up Jack Mowbray, Bill Smith, Buddy White, Walter Bridges, or Charlie Flora will follow it up to add to our score. At the end of the season, Charlie Flora was the unanimous choice for the center berth on the All- Western District team and Bill Caldwell won a place on the All-Star second team. Flora was the leading scorer with 236 points and Caldwell was third high with 208 tallies. Captain Mike” Greenberg, who scored 222 markers, and Walter Bridges, standout guard, were voted the most valuable players” by their teammates. For this honor they were awarded the coveted WBTM Trophies. Jack Mowbray was elected captain of next year’s team and monograms were awarded to Walter Bridges, Bill Caldwell, Charlie Flora, Mike” Greenberg, Buddy White, Buddy Stutts, Bill Smith, Buck Keeton, Clarence Barker, and Managers Stokclcy Fulton and Roger Lea.

In spite of the fact that it was the first baseball team at G.W. since 1941, the ’46 version of the Cardinal nine gave a fine ac- count of itself. Under the guidance of Coach Vaughn Woodall the Redbirds managed to take ten of their thirteen games and consistently outplayed opponents throughout the season. As it was the only conference team in the western district there were no conference games played but the best competition in this vi- cinity was played and the season was considered a great success. Letterman Jack Mowbray, an infielder, and Bill Caldwell, a right-handed fireball pitcher, who has just recently returned from service, have been selected by their teammates to lead the 1947 nine. Indications arc that this year will produce another powerful diamond squad as Coach Woodall is expecting six lct- termcn and a number of last year’s reserves to be on hand for the season. The mound staff will be led by Caldwell, who built a fine reputation here before entering the service, Walter Baucom and Buddy White, a right hander, who marked up a number of vic- tories last season. Mowbray, Mike Greenberg, Allan Knick, Clar- ence Barker, Tinker” Ryan, Buck Keeton, Richard Wells and Stokie Fulton arc expected to have the best chances on the infield post, while Buddy Stutts, Ernest White and Pat Furgurson should hold down the outer gardens. L. G. Lefty” Wilson, G.W.’s pre-war mentor, will help with the coaching duties and many returning veterans are ex- pected to strengthen the team. Top: Baseball Coach Vaughn Woodall.

The Cardinal netters took all the regular season matches and went on to win the Western Conference and State Championships as well. After defeating Maury High of Norfolk and Thomas Jefferson High of Richmond to become the Virginia Class A Tennis Champions, the Redbirds were invited to par- ticipate in the National Invitation Tennis Tournament, but due to unfortunate circumstances could not attend. The 1947 Cardinal netters continued the winning ways of the ’46 squad and walked off with the Western District championship by defeating Lynchburg and Roanoke. Coach M. Roy Hood was very proud of the fact that his ’47 net- ters came through as nicely as the former team.

N ition il Athletic Scholastic Society The National Athletic Scholastic Society for Secondary Schools was organized at George Washington last year by Athletic Director Gerry Quirk and was composed of ten charter members. It is an honorary society composed of boys who must have earned a monogram in athletics, maintained an average equal to or higher than the general average of the school for three consecutive semesters, and must have exemplified the highest type of citizen- ship and sportsmanship. Purposes of the society are: to foster high scholarship among athletes, to elevate the ideals of sportsmanship, to stimulate a desire for balanced training, and to develop more outstanding leaders in secondary schools of the United States. 0HEEKLEAI1EKS How about fifteen big ones for these spirited cheerleaders who are always on hand to lend their support to our teams!

Finishing their season with six victories to eight setbacks, the Ladybirds, despite in- experience, came through to record 360 tallies against the opposition’s 357. After leveling the odds with two wins and two falls, ill luck hounded the GWettes for four straight games. Then an upward swing: again the Ladybirds were holding their own with three im- portant victories, those over Ferrum, the Y.W., and Avcrctt. At the invitation to participate in the All State High School Girls’ Basketball Tour- nament, the Ladybirds outdid all expectations and in the single eliminations staged a sensational upset against district champions Covington High School.

No longer was his head turned up In stately grace and sightless gaze, But he looked down and smiled at me And what he said still with me stays. You think I’m dead,” he softly spoke, But still I live upon this wall That I may be a symbol here Of citizenship, our nation’s call.” And I replied, If only we Could be like you—the Cavaliers— Graduation time would seem to be When we are ripe in years.” I saw you come to school,” he said, • From your first day until the end. I saw the first bell welcome you, The final one, you homeward send. I saw you come here, children young, I see you leave matured and men. But most of all, I saw you earn The right to be called ‘Citizen.’ As I looked on, you did your part To fight for all we hold so dear. Not only are you citizens But each of you a Cavalier.” At this, he turned his head again And struck his pose—Virginian bold— And still remains, a symbol true, The Cavalier that’s framed in gold. —Ralph L.owenstein. i 106 y limior Class Otiim’s Sam Clifton Barbara Fowlf.r Martin Bankhead ................President Secretary and Treasurer Vice-President Ann Adams Dorothy Adams Jocelyn Adams Sam Adams, Jr. James Agee Empress Anderson Martin Bankhead Charles Barbour Otis Barbour Clarence Barker Virginia Boggs Howard Bolton Jane Booth Connie Bray Harriett Ann Burnett Billy Carson Betty Mae Chilton Mary Clark Dorothy Clifton Sam Clifton Jean Cole Dorothy Cook Lois Cowan Betty Maude Crafton Doris Crews Nancy Crowder Nancy Culpepper Hazel Davis Anne Dodson Fred Duncan Billy Dyer Jeanne Dyer Sam Elliott Florrie Evans Nina Farthing Martha Fitchctt Richard Floyd Edward Foley Barbara Fowler Ann Fowlkes Pat Furgurson Jerry Furr Clyde Gauldin Jimmy Gentry Ann Lee Glasgow Shirley Grogan Frances Groves Elizabeth Green Lois Hall Nell Hamlin Iris Haraway Edwin Henderson Tillie Herndon Christine High Alfred Hill Gwen Hoelscher Hazel Holcombe Bobby Howard Bobby Hudgins Dean Hudgins 1 109 y G.

Why do you weep and sniffle so? All right, I’ll tell you—wait, now BLOW— I said I’d tell you how to be As qualified as great big me, You miserable Junior Highs. Now, first of all, you’ve got to grow ’Til you can make—on your tiptoe— Faces through the door’s glasses At your friends in boring classes, You wretched Junior Highs. You’ll have to sec each football game And always yell G.W.’s name, And then attend each High School dance, But it would be nice to wear long pants, You enviable Junior Highs. Of course, you’ll have to be in plays And there are hundreds of other ways Of keeping you from doing lessons, Not to speak of all bull sessions,” You pitiable Junior Highs. Soon you’ll be citizens, A-numbcr-onc, But don’t be worried, keep having fun, And before you know it, about two years late, Yes, YOU might even graduate— You remarkable Junior Highs. —Ralph Lowenstein. 1 123 Se ve ii 111 Grade Front row, left to right: Barbara Ledford, Dorothy Colcnun, Betsy Meade, Nancy Glass, Mary Cill Flowers, Ann Penn, Katie Alvis, Audrey Jones, Anne Ellison.
