'fjjg______ == THE ’411 EAVALIER ON FRIDAY morning as the 8:5 5 bell echoes through the halls, we eagerly make our way to the auditorium for another of the ever-popular assemblies. Programs consist- ing of plays, speeches, music or other extra-curricular affairs provide humor and education to both Senior and Junior High. = GLUHINUS DAYS Gwen Hoclscher, as president of the Student Council this year, usually presided over assembly; Ed Foley, outstanding in science, generally acted as technician. This picture of the school is fast becoming traditional in the GW annual. Used here for the fourth time, the students feel it is the real symbol and scene of their joyous high school days. UURS TU REMEMBER FUR ALL TIME ♦ On a ftAcuun £ea$. QaAftei . . . Here stand six of the school’s topmost leaders. Beginning at the left, their names and positions are: Buddy Robertson, editor of the Cavalier; Gwen Hoelscher, president of the student body; Anne Oakley, president of the Senior class; June Stephens, president of the Glee Club; Lindow White, captain of the football team; Harriett Ann Burnett, editor of The Chatterbox. jotiewQtid As time passes in a never-ending march, we, as tomorrow’s leaders of the world, will always possess the memory of days gone by—memories that the years cannot erase— memories of our days at George Washington High School. The thrills of Homecoming Day, the Senior Dance, the pride we felt as our battling teams ran onto the athletic field, the dates at the Junior-Senior Dance, Class Day, Gradua- tion—all combine to leave us with ncvcr-to-bc forgotten recollections. The clamor of the halls between periods, the dash and hustling to the cafeteria at lunchtime, the engulfing drowsiness of students the last period, and the joy occasioned by the ringing of the 3:2 5 bell, too, will afford happy remembrances in the years to come. We have enjoyed our stay at OP GW.” The six years of studying and extra- curricular activities that we have received here have traced their indelible stamp, which, as a mark of culture and refinement, will remain with us always. £aa inty into the OxutWve - - MAIN HALL AT 8:40 Each morning as the school day begins, the main hall becomes alive with students as they gather informally to discuss major and minor issues of both school and out-of-school activities. Relaxation and good humor predominate in this calm before the storm” period. Administration Activities Athletics Seniors Senior Superlatives Juniors Junior High JJwisl 9t Qa, ltl {Blade and (dhiisi With its huge oak trees and wide lawns, the GW campus is always especially beautiful in the fall. The girls and boys too, add to the attraction. Mx. and Mild QW - - The campus of our school provides an ideal back- ground for these typical teenagers—Mr. and Miss GW of 1948. No better students than Bobby Jones and Jo Price could have been chosen by popularity vote for such an honor and be so worthy of it. The students are proud to have these two represent the school as the average Senior couple, popular, versatile, and friendly. Miss Lucille Wal ton OUR BOOK TO A DEAR FRIEND The seniors of 1948 feel honored to dedicate the Cavalier to Miss Lucille Walton of the Science Department of George Washington High School. Her unsung deeds and friendly cooperation have won her admiration and loyalty from both students and faculty. An outstanding instructor in science at GW, she has recently achieved national importance in the field of research. As a result of her theory concerning a possible explanation of what causes the orderly organization of cells into patterns and designs presented to the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science, she was elected a member of the Botanical Society of America. Being an art instructor and designer of the school riifg are only two of her contributions to the school. Miss Walton has responded eagerly to any activity or program when called upon; she is tireless in her efforts to do what she can when presented with problems of the students. And so to one who is our teacher, our helper, and our friend, we sincerely say, Thanks, and best of luck—always.” ADMINISTRATION G. L. H. Johnson Superintendent O. T.

These mentors greet us with their smiles Each morning this is true, But on the boards are lists of things They have for us to do. The lessons are so very numerous For every hour there’s one— No wonder that the smiles grow dim When teacher’s day is done. —Mary Ann Morton. 24 Y ACTI VITI m HIE CAVALIER ENGLISH CLASS Kitty must be reading a passage from The Haunted House at Midnight . . .” It could be the class is just relieved not to be bur- dened with another essay, but from the smile on Miss Dod- son’s face, perhaps they are seeing the calm before the storm.” HISTORY CLASS No, this isn’t the dividing line between the Democrats and the Republicans, but the Mississippi River,” Mr. Mot- ley explains to two of his His- tory 7 pupils. MATH CLASS With such rapt attention and bright faces, there is small wonder Mr. Lefty” Wilson can make rapid strides in the field of high school mathematics. PHYSICS CLASS It ain’t easy!” says Ruddy, as he and Slick struggle through another Physics ex- periment on specific gravity, with Mr. Thomasson standing by ready to add more weight to the subject.” 14PPPP m LATIN Cl ASS £ «, Catherine! Maybe next year, was Mr. Wilson’s dubious remark as he prodded Mary Catherine on with another of the many Latin exercises. FRENCH CLASS While June confidently ex- plains the French exercise on the board, Mr. Ellis follows in his genial manner, ready to give a mild correction. SPANISH Spanish is easy when taught by Miss Frances DeLamar, for she has the unusual knack of combining work and play. Organizing the class into a club, she often has the group singing Spanish songs, talking en la espanol. JOURNALISM CLASS Keep your eyes on the proof! was the admonition of Mrs. Hill to these Chatter- box workers Wednesday morning second period in the pressroom. TYPING CLASS Nancy’s gleam seems to say she is way ahead of her fellow students in Miss Coppedgc’s typing class. However, all work hard and enjoy their efforts, each hoping one day to be the future private secre- tary for a John D. Rockefel- ler. HOME EC CLASS What’s cooking? It may be those famous plum puddings that these homemakers, un- der Miss Anthony’s efficient direction, turned out for Christmas treats. SEWING CLASS Here they arc not ripping what they sew, but according to Miss Simpson, these girls often do just that. MECHANICAL DRAWING CLASS Mr. Blinky” Grau is cheerfully explaining the basic standards of mechanical drafting to four of his indus- trious students during an Ad- vanced Drawing session. PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS Here we see the Stephen Douglases of GW, though quiet for a change. According to their genial sponsor, Mr. Ellis, they sometimes in 302 let loose a barrage of words, even baffling to him. WOODSHOP CLASS It’s “Say, timber!” with the members of Mr. Bacon’s woodshop class, as the stu- dents work earnestly on their products. Here Porky” helps Pete assemble his semi-finished coffee-table ’mid the clamor of chisels and saws. DRAMATICS CLASS Just look at this!” ex- claims Anne as she explains to editor and assistant her “Bar- ter Plan” for raising funds— all of course in a scene from one of the Dramatics Class plays, sponsored by Miss Dorothy Fitzgerald. SCHOOL STORE Dan Smith, manager of the school store, pauses in his work of supplying the stream of students who patronize this popular establishment. THE CAVALIER 9n. 5 SifenL tRaAoJiL ...

In the silent resort of G.W.’s extensive library, the students relax from the grilling and drilling of teachers to find peace among the hundreds of books, magazines, newspapers, and pamphlets to be found here. To quote most teachers: If you don’t know the answer, go to the library; you’re sure to find it there.” LIBRARY AND LIBRARY ASSISTANTS When Mr. Hitchcock said, Now smile!”, he met a cheerful response from these library assistants. Their duties, ranging from being sure that Shakespeare and Words- worth do not stay out too long to putting Byron and Bryant in their respective places, were numerous and tiring. i 30 y A IIT CLASS OF FORTY-EIGHT Sketching on the outside was rare in the GW scheme of things, but Miss Walton with her corps of artists yielded to nature’s spell on this occasion. This group have for a long time been a must” around both school and city; they have done the art work for The Chatterbox and the Cavalier; they have put on exhibits in the downtown stores; and they have presented attractive displays in the school’s show eases. As the class grows in popularity, everyone realizes a need for better facilities and more equipment. Hence they look forward eagerly to the new high school building. Ouh, Own, (R mbhandiA,...

THE CAVALIER STAFF Members of the Cavalier Staff enter wholeheartedly into their jobs of managing, compiling, writing, editing, and financing one of the school’s biggest undertakings—The Cavalier. 1 32 F 7o C£et e2an.cJ . . . The '48 yearbook staff waged a subscription campaign, spon- sored one of Miss Fitzgerald’s plays, a basketball game between faculty and students, a radio broadcast and an assembly program, besides selling more than two thousand dollars worth of adver- tising in an effort to uphold G. W.’s high standard set by previous staffs, and turn out an annual all would admire. The '46 Cavalier won a first place rating in the S.I.P.A. contest, the ’47 Cavalier the title of distinguished” in the state and a first-class honor rating in N.S.P.A. By capturing the spirit of GW and using it as the theme, the staff this year has striven to make the ’48 Cavai.il r a treasure house of memories in the years to come. Jhc.

THE CHATTERBOX Published for twenty-two consecutive years under the inspiring leadership of Mrs. Hill, The Chatterbox has won highest honors in various state, sectional and national con- tests. Among the distinctions conferred upon the paper arc the Medalist rating from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, Pacemaker from National Scholastic Press Associa- tion, Trophy Winner from Southern Inter-Scholastic Press Association, and International Honor Rating from Quill and Scroll. OF FORTY-EIGHT Last year The Chatterbox celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary with a banquet which was attended by former editors as well as the current staff. Mrs. Hill, having known the paper in its infancy, recalled dif- ferent years of publication by means of their respective editors as guest speakers. Among the projects sponsored by the Press Club are the annual Easter Bunny Girl contest, High School Day at Herman’s, and a play. The Green Duck, symbol of the Press Club, continues to uphold the highest jour- nalistic standards.

Chosen for their school spirit and leadership, one from each home room, this group and the judiciary form the governing body of students. Meeting on the first Wednes- day in every month, they bear special com- munications to their respective rooms. In this way, drives for Community Chest or Red Cross funds, packages for hospitalized soldiers or needy children in Europe, and improvement campaigns at school are speedily carried on. At all times their influence rates high for the good of old G.W.

During the 47-48 session Miss Wood- son, Gwen Hoclscher, and Buddy Barker went to the convention held at Corpus Christi, Texas. Gwen, as vice-president, presided at the banquet there. Complete with robes and solemn looks, these judges, selected on a basis of scholarship and leadership, try all cases of misdemeanor and breaches of honor committed by the students. In them is vested a great responsibility by the school, for their decision is final and their recommendations are usually fulfilled. In the past few years the importance of this group has increased until today it is perhaps the most powerful branch of the student body JhsL Qu Hf QomsA, to Ohd h,... Sant Clifton.

CAVALIER NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Judging from the happy, relaxed faces above, one might be led to believe that keeping a ninety average is easy! This group of students, in addition to having a high average in academic subjects, have also demonstrated outstanding qualities of leadership, service, and character. After having been approved by a faculty committee they are elected by popular vote into the George Washington Chapter of the National Honor Society. Only Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors are eligible. The National Honor Society is sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. This chapter, now under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Motley, was chartered in 1943. Jh ij.

QUILL AND SCROLL Scholarship and high journalistic standing arc the chief characteristics of this happy group, GW’s chapter of Quill and Scroll, the international honor society for high school journalists. Only students who have excelled on The Chatterbox and the Cavalier staffs are eligible to this society, the highest of its kind. Mrs. Nora Payne Hill and Miss Ethel Dod- son, faculty sponsors of the two publications, make the selections from their workers.” To qualify for membership a student must: (1) be in the junior or senior class, (2) be in the upper third of his or her class at the time of election, (3) must have done superior work of some phase in the field of journalism, (4) be recommended by the supervisors governing these publications.

StanJing: Hope Stuart (Bookkeeper of Student Funds); Ann Oakley (President of Senior Class); Miss Ethel Dodson (President of B and PW). In ties and coats these GWites are hardly typical, but they represent all fields of activities in our school. For these arc the 1948 Junior Rotarians who attend the Rotary Club luncheons, one for each month, as guests and future business men. Mr. Christopher and Mr. Baxa, themselves Rotarians, delight in giving the young men cues on their future responsibilities. Because of their ability, leadership, and cooperation in various high school activities, these seven Senior girls were selected as Junior Business Women of 1947-’48. Principal J. T. Christopher chose the girls, one for each month, to represent certain activities or depart- ments of the school. Ready to lend the girls a helping hand is Miss Ethel Dodson, President of the Danville Business and Professional Women’s Club, the sponsoring group of this feature. OF FORTY-EIGHT LITERARY AND PEPSI-COLA CONTESTANTS As winners of try-outs in the literary field of our school, these students have been selected to represent GW in the state contest. This meeting, sponsored by the Virginia Athletic and Literary League, includes competition in public speaking, prose and poetry, reading, spelling, and debating. Those winning the district contest in Lynchburg will take part in the State meet, which is held annually in Charlottesville. Anne seems to have found the answer to one of the tough questions, or perhaps these seven seniors arc merely pleased at the opportunity the Pepsi-Cola Company has made possible for them. According to this company’s generous plan, five per cent of the senior class in each Virginia high school may enter competitive examinations for a scholarship. Only students who have maintained an A or a B average are eligible. A special aptitude test eliminates many contestants and is later followed by a Scholarship Aptitude Lest of the College Entrance Examination Board on January 24, 1948. In 1947 Gene Wilson was acclaimed winner in the semi-final contest. “(j)sl, thsL pswplsL ... TOP: Firtt row, left to right: Frieda Kahn. Martha Pritchett, Buddy Robertson, Kilty Newman, Bobby June .

The purpose of this organization is to promote good music and to develop better voices among the talented GWites through the singing of the best lit- erature. Very active in school generally, the club adds a great deal to Christmas and other seasonal programs, as well as to the weekly broadcast, GW-On-The-Air. The group participates in entertainments given by various clubs and churches of the city. Closely identified with the Club is Miss Elizabeth Oliver, faculty adviser, director, and inspiration.

CHEMISTRY Cl UR AM) SCIENCE FORUM Test Tube Tinkers” has become a popular and active organization in GW. The pur- pose of the club is to further scientific interests of students and to help develop their abilities. To anyone meeting the scholastic requirements and having scientific ability, membership is extended—and usually accepted. Pictured on the left is the Science Forum, whose chief function was to choose topics of scientific value to be discussed at monthly intervals in open forum. The group on the right is the Science Club, composed of students interested in chemistry, biology, or physics. THE CAVALIER JhsL JjAq J'loiltlcL .. . The more the merrier” scorns to be the motto of these conscientious Flotilla Club members. The Club is a division of the Y.W.C.A. and its members consist of high school Juniors and Seniors. It is the purpose of this organization to assist in the development of the religious, social and home life of the young girl. This group composes four individual Y.W.C.A. clubs for the younger girls of the community, the Amazons, Do-Big, True Blue, and Friendship. While not directly school organizations, these groups consist of school boys and girls who carry on their programs and partying all during the nine months’ session. On various nights, they meet to exchange their ideas on numerous problems con- fronting them. 44 }■ OF FORTY-EIGHT J’jun -louin j wupL (p wmoi A, Jutl ...

Ill-Y CLUB These alert looking Hi-Y boys tend to develop higher ideals in the fields of religion, sportsmanship, and morals among the boys of the school and community. The Club, which is the high school branch of the Y.M.C.A., is also active in the sponsoring of dances and parties. To become a member of the organization one must be in senior high school, must have met the required qualifications, and have been voted in by the members. GmL thfL (BoytL.

Their efforts were not in vain, for the work they turned out, some- times for The Chatterbox and the Cavalier, was outstanding in the field of amateur photography. Now boys, here’s what we’ve got to do,” begins Mr. Christopher as he glances to the 1947 chapter of the Washingtonians. Thus began a series of objectives listed by the sponsor for general improvement of the school. With the establishment of the honor system as their main goal for ’47-’48, these six Seniors and two Juniors endeavored to make a better GW in appearance, good sportsmanship, and achievement.

Such tasks as these represent the practical side of G. W.’s work-as-you-learn” course. DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION Miss McKinney, sponsor of D. E. work, seems pleased with her proteges. The boys and girls work a minimum of fifteen hours a week in downtown establish- ments, each day having one hour of retail training at the high school. They work regular hours in such places as Herman’s, Belk’s, Rhodes’, and Bibee’s. It is the object and purpose of this organization to bring about better ideals of sales- manship among high school students; furthermore, to initiate them into the business world. In April of 1947 the club became nation-wide in its scope, with the first national convention held in Memphis, Tennessee. THE CAVALIER Qko SL MouA koiipinq . . .

This group is com- posed of all Senior High girls who are taking or have taken home economics. The Club tends to develop higher ideals among the homemakers of this country. Monthly meetings arc held after school in Room 311 for the purpose of discussing prob- lems that may arise in the kitchens of 1960. When sewing dominates they meet in familiar 315—home of the needle and thread. { 48 OF FORTY-EIGHT OIIGHESTIIA AMI) (i. W.

Although small in number they were cheerfully received by all radio listeners. F.ach Wednesday through the courtesy of WBTM the high school conducted a fifteen minute radio program GW on the Air.” With Harold Wilson and Evelyn Cooter as student announcers, the program included a wide variety of events and organizations composed chiefly of students of GW. The helpful supervision of Mr. Ellis added much to the improvement and betterment of one of the most active features of the students. JouA. ShahfLiL. and a, JlaL ...

Here displaying posters advertising their current production, this dramatic group presented various types of plays through- out the year. True, if no one in the club could fill the role in question adequately, the entire school was combed for talent. However, the members here assumed the greater responsibility, making up the committees for costumes, stage set, props, pro- grams, publicity, tickets, and ushers. This year’s plays were Ever Since Eve,” Miracle of the Castle,” and Annie Laurie,” besides several one-act plays. j wn «I 50 h 'EVEN SINCE EVE' OF FORTY-EIGHT Ever Since Eve, which, by the way, proved an hilarious succo� , was Cavalier's choice for sponsor- ing.

(Jeanne Dyer, leading lady in the play, was absent when pictures were made.) THE CAVALIER Jho, Xadi oft, iksL Qa HfL The play is the story of the miracle which brought love back into the heart of a grief - stricken man and joy into his home. It caused him to be once again loved and respected by the people of the village. Especially so was the third act, into which the Nativity was artistically woven, skillful lighting adding much to its effectiveness. It is hoped that the dramatization will be- come an annual custom of the school, to be improved upon each year. This plan has met with the approval of other schools and was commended by the National Scholastic Pub- lications of America. G. W.’s Original The Miracle of the Castle was GW’s contribution to Danville's Christmas pro- gram. Written and directed by Miss Doro- thy Fitzgerald of the faculty, the play brought out many old customs of the medie- val Yulctide celebration. Blended into the plot was an extensive musical score of medieval and religious Christmas carols, se- lected and directed by Miss Elizabeth Oliver, also of the faculty, and rendered by mem- bers of the Glee Club in costume. The set, a medieval castle, was made by members of cur own student body, as were many of the costumes. Much research was done so that the set, costumes and even the general atmosphere were in keeping with the time. All of these were very effective and gave the presentation a realistic air. tBhinqinq Qn. ihsL (BdcUUl. disuad. iBsihbuL ihsL SamsLiu OF FORTY-EIGHT Unsung Heroes Before and after every produc- tion, there's physical work to be done. These boys arc part of the group who, under William Duden- hausen, constructed the play sets. Especial recognition was given the raft they built for Minor Miracle,” the one-act play which won top honors against Roanoke and Lynch- burg. Many sets were constructed on the stage of the city auditorium, winning high admiration from the townspeople.

The season’s summary: Using both the T” and single wing attacks, GW’s gridders fought their way through an eleven-game schedule which was probably the hardest of any Virginia high school squad. In only two of its games was Coach Vaughn Woodall’s hustling outfit rated so much as equal to its opponents. The fact that they won two, and tied three others, shows that they did better than many fans expected, even with a mediocre season. First of the ties was with the Green Dragons of Schoolfield, who fielded one of the strongest teams in their school’s history. Fullback Raymond Knick scored through the line for the Cards, and quarterback Peyton Hatcher added the conversion. This was Knick’s only appearance of the year, as he was hospitalized before the second game, and remained out for the season. Schoolfield came back to tally on an intercepted pass, and the game ended in a 7-7 deadlock, before either eleven could push across more points. Rcidsville’s Golden Lions were held scoreless by the Redbirds in the second tie at League Park, where all home games were played. GW came through with several brilliant goal line stands, but was unable to muster any scoring power of its own. The entire Danville line showed exceptional stolidity, with left tackle Harold Keck and right guard Lindow White leading the way. Journeying to Victory Stadium in Roanoke, on September 27, the Cards met their first serious disaster. Although they unveiled a dazzling aerial attack, with halfback Sonny Nichols tossing to right end Pat Furgurson and Pate Hatcher, they were crushed 38-6. The Redbirds scored when Furgurson lat- craled to guard Stokclcy Fulton, who scampered across. The Magicians, destined to be Western District Champions, used their T-formation deception and superior experience to score almost at will. It was in this battle that Dan Overbey, first-string halfback, broke an ankle and was lost for the season. •I se y Kueelntfi, left to right: Peyton limiter, Kenneth White, Harold Keek, Stokelcy Pulton, Bill Barnes, Captain I.indow White, H- B.

Although the final score of 37-6 was not indicative of the game’s actual progress, the Cards were again clearly outclassed. This time, their score was on a buck by Nichols. Bowman Gray Stadium at Winston-Salem was the scene of the best-played game to that date by the Washingtonians. Sid Whitehcart, R. J. Reynolds center, true-toed a last-quarter field goal through the uprights to beat the Redbirds 3-0. On a slippery field, the visiting Virginians had outrushed and outpassed their Tarheel hosts, but to no avail. To make their Homecoming week-end one of genuine gaycty, and also as a birthday present to Coach Woodall, the GW eleven pulled their biggest upset by trouncing Lynchburg on October 17. Hard- played straight football was the order of the day as the clicking single-wing pushed over a 6-0 victory. Kenneth White went off tackle for the tally, and shared outstanding-player honors with Captain Lindow White. In the starling line for this game were the seven stalwarts who started throughout the schedule. Kissie Martin and Furgurson were at the ends, Keek and Elton Saunders at tackles, Captain White and Fulton at guards, and H. B. Fowlkes at center. The backs were picked from a group of standouts which Woodall used alternately. They included quarterbacks Bill Barnes and Pate Hatcher, fullbacks Jacky Mowbray, George Haley and Buster Brown, and halfbacks Kenneth White, Buck Keeton, Nichols, and Johnny Jones. Ever-strong Hampton High downed the Cards 19-0 at League Park before the year’s only open date. The First game after the rest resulted in an identical score, this time run up by Washington-Lee of Arlington. Meeting their last Western Conference foes, GW’s gridmen outplayed Andrew Lewis all over Salem Municipal Stadium, but had to be satisfied with another scoreless deadlock. Buck Keeton’s power-running «{ 57 F Surrounding Captain Lindow White and Coach Vaughn Woodall arc eighteen of the Kedbirds’ top-notch gridders: clockwise from the left: Fred Martin, Curly Wilmarth, Harold Keek, Charlie Put c, Stokelcy Fulton, H.

Back at home for the final Danville performance of a number of seniors, the Woodallmcn put forth a razzle-dazzle exhibition in downing Hargrave 21-0. Kenneth White contributed twelve of these markers on two runs of forty-six and fifty yards, and Pat Furgurson’s sixty-yard runback of an intercepted pass was good for six more. Peyton Hatcher place- kicked all three extra points perfectly. Thanksgiving Day saw the Cards go down fighting before a heavier, more experienced Portsmouth squad, 40-0. The President’s tenth straight win clinched the state Group I title for them, and wound up a hectic year for the Redbirds. i 58 y Klton Saundcri, Bing Parrish, Ac« Martin, Pat Furgurson, Kinky White, Buster Brown, George Haley, Bill Barnes, Peyton Hatcher, Sonny Nichols, Johnny Jones and Buck Keeton.

Lindow White was picked to receive the Capitol Trophy as the most valuable Cardinal during the past season. This award in itself is a signal honor, but besides this l.indow was chosen to head the squad as captain. Me was the only GW member of the all-state team, and was a unanimous choice for the all-western dis- trict eleven. Coming out in 19-4-4 for the first time, he played on the state championship squad. The following season, l.indow broke into the starting lineup at left tackle, where he remained until being shifted to right guard this year. He was highly respected by his teammates not only for his hustling line play, but for his superlative spirit as well. I')4ti Co-Captains Veteran linemen Stockcley Fulton and H. B. Fowlkes were selected by the letter winners of the squad to head next year’s eleven. Fulton, who held down the left guard post this season, is one of the scrappiest men to perform for GW. Despite his comparatively light weight, he managed to repeatedly upset opponents’ plays behind the line of scrimmage. Only a few minutes of play were missed by Fowlkes, who probably spent more time in actual competition than any other Redbird. An excellent linebacker and reliable snapper-back, H. B. promises to make 1948 an even more impressive year. From this crew were selected the starting eleven for each of GW’s 1947 games. The linemen arc, left to ri bt: Pat Furgurson, niton Saunders. l.indow White. H. B. Fowlkes, Stokcley Fulton. Marold Keek and Fred Martin. In the backficld arc Johnny Jones, Peyton Matcher.

BASKETBALL TEAM 47-'48 The season’s summary: When Coach Al Mathes summoned prospective courtmcn to an initial workout early last December, the future looked dim. Only five lettermen returned from the mag- nificent 1947 squad. Nevertheless, things rook shape. Despite the fact that they dropped their first tilt, one played at Hargrave, the Cards steadily improved. After Christmas they had come up enough to take a 32-26 overtime contest from their close rivals, the Schoolficld Green Dragons. Left: Five of GW’ top courtmcn go through drill . . .

Big gun in the scoring parade up to this time was lanky Bill Evans, the towering pivot man. Bill played on the ’44-‘45 edition of the Redbirds before entering the Army. Since his discharge he has shown the same variety of shots and skill under the boards that made him runner-up for high-scoring honors during that year. At forwards. Coach Mathes used Bill Smith, Kissy Martin, and Sonny Nichols as starters. Smith, a six-foot master of the hook-shot, also turned in some exceptional floor work in his third cage season. Martin and Nichols finished their first full varsity year and did commcndably well. Both had a great deal of experience in city leagues and intramural play, which they used to good advantage. Captain Jackie Mowbray was the squad’s best passer and setup man. The stocky veteran had an uncanny faking and dribbling ability, which came naturally in his fourth season on the Cardinal varsity. Buddy Stutts and Peyton Hatcher played a fast, hard- pressing game at the guard slots. Teamed with Mowbray, either of them made set plays work with well-oiled precision, and kept quite a few rival points off the scoreboards. Tn 18 starts, the GWitcs turned in ten victories, although only two were conference wins. They split their homc-and-away scries with Lynchburg and Salem, but fared worse in dropping two to Roanoke. Besides these schools in the Western District Group I loop, they mixed with several non-league teams. Hargrave, Schoolfield, South Boston, Martins- ville, Dan River and Ferrum were all parts of the Danville schedule. After their final contest, members of the varsity squad selected Buddy Stutts as their most valuable player” to receive the 1948 WBTM trophy, and also picked cap- tain-elect Bill Smith to head next year’s quint.

After several indecisive weeks in which everyone was sure there would be no girls’ basketball squad this year, a group of determined students won out, and arrangements were made to have the 1947-’48 Ladybirds. Coached by Miss Virginia Easley and Mrs. George Ingram, the misses rapidly moulded themselves into a successful sextet. Early in the season Connie Bray was made acting captain of the Lady Cardinals. Connie, a tall, sharpshooting forward, is well-liked and respected for her outstanding skill and spirit. Among the returnees from last year’s team were Doris Crews, who topped the scoring procession in ’47, and Iris Haraway, who was also responsible for quite a few markers. Nancy Winn and Frances Groves were the top-line holdovers at guards. On the Ladybirds’ schedule were Schoolficld High School, Averett College, Chatham High, Dan River, and several other aggregations. The GWites’ expert ball-handling and shooting made easy work of some of these opponents, while early in the season they seemed, at times, unable to roll. The girl’s energy in getting for themselves a court team, as well as their determina- tion to make it a winning one, was admired by the students and other local citizens. 67 k 1947’ BATSMEN were j hefty lot.

Baseball was emphasized on a larger scale in 1947 than in many years at George Washington. The Redbirds, under Coach Vaughn Woodall, returned to conference com- petition and played a number of other strong nines. Three home tilts were night affairs at League Park—those with Schoolfield, Roanoke, and Salem. All games away from Danville were played on the host school’s field, except those at Roanoke’s Piedmont League Park and at Salem, where the Shenandoah League field was used. The ever-intense rivalry with neighboring Schoolfield was whetted to new heights by the split two-game scries. First of the clashes was taken by the Cards in a tense scrap which ended 3-2. Only two weeks later the Dragons evened things up by a similar score. Although they failed to turn in a win against their western district Group I foes, GW’s batsmen gave both their conference opponents tough competition. Probably their best showing was in the second Roanoke game, which they dropped 5-4. Regular first baseman Mike Greenberg toed the slab, and pitched a brilliant but vain nine innings. A bcttcr-than-cven slate was chalked up against other opponents, including Martins- ville, Reidsvillc, and South Boston. Monograms were awarded to twelve of Woodall’s diamond performers. They were: Co-captain Bill Caldwell, pitcher and outfielder; co-captain Jacky Mowbray, second base; Stokely Fulton, third base; Allen Greenberg and Allan Knick, shortstops; Mike Green- berg and Melvin Ryan, first basemen; Buddy White, pitcher and outfielder; outfielders Buddy Stutts and Pat Furgurson; Catcher Richard Wells, and infielder Clarence Barker. «I 68 y TENNIS For the second straight year GW’s tennis team smashed to the Virginia group 1 championship in 1947. Coach M. Roy Hood headed the nctmen in a season which saw them undefeated in conference play. Bill Smith and Buddy White alternated at the top slot, with Bill Caldwell, Robert Ramey, Bill Carson and Charlie Williamson filling out the singles sextet in most matches. Lindow White paired with Williamson in number three doubles. Against western district opposition, the Cardinals were superlative. They over- powered Lynchburg twice, 7-2 and 9-0, and in their only match with Roanoke coasted to a 7-2 victory. On May 9 and 10, Coach Hood’s netmen reached their peak. In their first clash of the state championship play-offs, they blanked Fairfax High. Next day, in the finals against Thomas Jefferson of Richmond, they won 6-3, thus annexing the VHSL crown and the season’s fifth triumph. The 1948 racquct-wielders will be coached by Marion Wells, since Hood has returned to his native Mississippi after several successful years of handling the squad. Returning to the court wars are only Smith and Carson of this championship group, and at present the outlook is for a squad built from the ground up. THOSE SMILES mean a lot.

Each year, a select few of the school’s athletes are tapped for membership in the National Athletic Scholarship Society for Secondary Schools. Organized in 1946 by Gerry Quirk, the George Washington Chapter was composed of ten charter members. Besides leading lives which exemplify the highest type of citizenship and sportsmanship, boys must meet high scholastic standards to be accepted, and of course, earned a monogram for participation in athletics. These scholastic requirements are that the athlete must have maintained an average equal to or higher than the general average of the school. Stated purposes of the NASS are: to foster high scholarships among athletes, to elevate the ideals of sportsmanship, to stimulate a desire for balanced training, and to develop more outstanding leaders in the secondary schools of the United States.

Made up of boys who have done excellent work and shown outstanding ability in one of the four major sports, the Monogram Club makes itself well known throughout the school and community by sponsoring social and athletic events, and other worthwhile student projects. Membership in the club comes through recommendation of the coach and approving vote of the group. As well as those who actually participate in athletics, its roster includes cheerleaders and managers who have served two years. The club officers during the 1947-’48 session were Jacky Mowbray, president; Johnny Jones, vice-president; Pat b'urgurson, secretary and Peyton Hatcher, treasurer. i 7i y THROUGH tough schedules and bad lickings, along with state championships and homecoming victories, those who participate in sports at GW try to uphold an unwritten code. Modest winners and graceful losers, the athletic teams are never beaten in spirit. One could not find better examples of the attitude set forth in this code than Co-Managers Roger and Harvey, who, with all the student body, extend hopes for .... «I 72 y MILITARY MILITARY GW is proud to have itself represented in the field of military tactics. The Cadet Corps of our school, having been organized in 1942, has functioned as a military body for the past six years under the super- vision of Captain Herbert Caldwell, who left in 1946, and Vaughn Woodall, his successor, who has served the past two years. Striving for military discipline, courtesy to offi- cers, and perfection in both drilling and the manual of arms, the corps has developed into a compact body of serious students who realize the value of being militarily prepared for any occasion necessary. It has grown in importance until today it is a major unit in the functioning of the school, guarding the restricted areas of the hall during lunch or assisting at public performances. 1 his year the unit was re-organized into a single company which increased con- siderably the number of men in each platoon and reduced the number of commissioned officers almost in half. One hundred new rifles of the Springfield 1903 type were bought and issued at the beginning of the year, a major improvement over the ones formerly used. Maneuvers and hikes were conducted several times during the year to better prepare the boys who may some day lead our armed forces cither in time of peace or in turmoil of war.

To Those We Leave Behind I wish to leave a poem here For all my youthful friends so dear, A memory verse to tell them how We were young as they are now. That we once thought we’d simply try To pass the course, or just “get by”; But now too late we wish to say We’d like again to pass that way To delve more deeply into lore. More deeply far than e’er before. —Anne Dodson io7 y Senior A 108 V Senior iijjeriali lued 1 109 h Senior no y _ £ emor Superlu lives •i in y CLASS OF IORTY-NINL SPEAKS Next year we‘11 rise and take your jobs� And struggle then to do The task you leave us, Seniors, But half as well as you.

You’ll have to be an all-round sport On baseball field or tennis court— At games, at plays, in classes too, In fact in every single thing you do. You’ve got to take an active part In all campaigns the Seniors start And also see your task go through, So others can depend on you. And then to turn to subjects light Some things you’ve got to do up right: You see you simply must get by With a trick or two quite on the sly. It would be sad to leave this school And never glimpse detention’s rule— Or feel your heartbeat as it falls When teacher says the office calls. But over all remember this These are the years the most you’ll miss, So make each minute count; it’s late, Because too soon, you’ll graduate. —Jean Farley. «I 135 }■ GEORGE WASHINGTON We are proud of the pace of G.
