Not only did we possess the coveted position of Seniors, but new horizons and visions of things to come stirred our hearts. The peak of high school life attained, we eagerly sought to capture the spirit of G. W. with all its vivid meaning, recording it within these pages for all to see. f rotected Inj the stars and stri ipes i the heart op the Aeat oj learning . . . A familiar figure in the library is Mrs. Ix la H. Wicker, who has served well her post for the past thirteen years. Behind the scenes, she spends the day mending and stamping (J.

Tagged by students as an ideal teacher and friend, Mr. Motley is loved by all for his gentle and tactful nature and his constant readiness to help others. Our years at G. W. have been enlivened by his presence, his frank and sincere way of speaking, and his wit, which is the spark plug of all his discussions. It is to him that we dedicate our Cavalier of 1949.

They were headed by Buddy Barker, president; Mary Denny Wilson, vice-president; and Bernice Wyatt, secretary-treasurer. The organization, considered one of the best in the state, was active in leading various school projects. Among these was the annual Community Chest Drive, which went over the top this year. Recommendations for im- provements in the school grounds, buildings, and welfare of the students were made at their regular meetings, then later presented to the student body. In November a convention was held in Richmond, attended by Bernice Wyatt, Mary Denny Wilson, Mary Catherine Myers, Jane Schooltield. Buddy Barker, and Mrs. Ruby Vernon, faculty adviser. The following week Buddy Barker, Clay T. Gardner, Davis Hamlin, and Tommy Collie, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Baxa, attended the annual meeting of the Student Council Association in Mobile, Alabama. 1 34 J- G. W. HIGH E. Gatewood; J.

An outstanding publication since its founding in 1922, the Chatterbox, now a bi-wcckly, has been characteristic of the sensibilities of the school. Under Mrs. Hill’s guidance it has livened interest, spread its fame, and caught the attention of all the students by its wide-awake policies. The annual Easter Bunny Girl Contest, High School Day at Herman’s, Press Club Play, and assembly, which this year depicted the value of spreading news, represent a few of its originalities. Among the laurels which the Chatterbox has won arc the Medalist rating from the (Columbia Scholastic Press Association, Pacemaker rating from the National Scholastic Press Association, In- ternational Honor rating from Quill and Scroll, and first place trophy rating from the Southern Inter- Scholastic Press Association. Thus has our High School paper proved its worth, and every student looks forward with great eagerness to the Friday afternoons it’s distributed. ’49 -I 36 )• G. W. HIGH To spark the subscription drive, The Chat- terbox presented to the students in assembly an animated edition of its symbol, the Green Duck. G.W.’s feathered friend explained with illustrations that if Cleopatra could have read The Chatterbox, she would not have been deceived by her adoring admirers. No less necessary was the presence of the Circen Duck at Herman’s on High School Day at that store. Waddling up and down the aisles in ducky fashion, the attractive creature steps up the sales spirit—and The Chatterbox reaps results. Dleij strive to matte the tie a it fit Me hr 9 us J Lei . . .

W. is the Cavalier, our yearbook, which depicts the activities of the school, the close relation of the school with the city, and which preserves forever memories of our glorious high school days. While this is only a yearly publication, much hard work and co-operation go into its making. And these efforts have not been in vain, for, under the supervision and sponsorship of Miss Dod- son, the Cavalier has had conferred upon it many honors, among which arc the first-place rating of the Southern Intcrscholastic Press Association, the title of distinguished in the state, and first-class honor rating from the National Scholastic Press Association. The ’48 book was a trophy winner. For the betterment of their financial status, the Cavalier staff waged a subscription campaign, a fac- ulty versus student basketball game, and a skating party at a local roller rink. Also given was an assembly program, which contained a Macbeth witch scene. This lively and cooperative spirit prevailing throughout the year, the Cavalier staff successfully man- aged, compiled, wrote, edited, and financed the annual which each year grows better, 1949 no exception. ’49 CAVALIER— 4 38 )■ Mr. Thomasson took all the junior pictures this year. iJhis is u hat maheA the (Cavalier tich G.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Here are our brain-trusts and, of course, some of our most versatile students. Only Sopho- moics, Juniors and Seniors arc eligible to join this organization, which is directed by Mrs. Mar- garet Motley. To become a member of the National Honor Society more is required than just an average of 90 or above. Students must also be approved by a faculty committee and must have demonstrated outstanding qualities of leadership, service, and character. They are not an all-work- and-no-play group, for these students look forward to their traditional picnic held each spring. Last year a chicken fry was all the Honor Society needed as a spur toward better grades. ’49 CAVALIER 40 y Jdere are our journalists extraordinary . . . Seated: Jean Farley, Frieda Kahn.

Chosen by the faculty sponsor of the publica- tion for which they work, these student journalists must rank in the upper third of their class. They also must be Juniors or Seniors at the time of their election. The George Washington chapter, co-sponsored by Mrs. Nora Payne Hill and Miss Ethel M. Dodson, is a member of the national organization, an honorary society of student journalists. A feature all the students look forward to in this local chapter is the initiation, usually held in Mrs. Hill’s apartment. 1 4i y ParL-. A UOUS ancaid or t eSpuno[? Spanish Club: First row: N.

SPANISH CLUB These gay Scnors and Scnoritas, besides studying the Spanish language, listening to native speakers, and learning of customs from Spanish records, often took time out for fiestas. Scnorita Cooke made the class inter- esting all right. She read to the class from Spanish newspapers, referred to romantic talcs and adventurous his- tory of Spain, and had the group singing Spanish songs. Thus, fun and work were combined just as it is done in old Espana. FRENCH CLUB Anyone of La Flcur-dc-Us will tell you that French is quite interesting and lots of fun—but could it be otherwise with such wonderful programs as skits, performed en francais, French songs, a study of French cus- toms, history, food, symbols, the National Anthem, and the Flcur-dc-Lis? The club invited some native French- men to speak to them, and also the members took great interest in the Francc-Ameriquc newspaper. •I 42 y G. W. HIGH shelved LIBRARY ASSISTANTS Very competent help is given Miss Lucy Fitzgerald by these volunteer assistants. They check out books, return them to the shelves, and help students find material they want. Besides being a great aid to the library, the girls gain practical experience in this kind of work. Imoncj th LITERARY CONTESTANTS Some of these industrious students made the grade in competition to represent ( . W. in the state literary events. The lucky G. W.-ites competed in public speaking, prose reading, poetry reading, spelling and debating meets sponsored by the Virginia Athletic and Literary League. Last year G. W. took top honors when Jean Dyer won first place in the state for her prose reading and Pat Furgurson for his spelling. 3nte((ectua( interests yo beyond the clt lass room Top panel, first row: J.

These science enthusiasts at their very informal biweekly meetings discussed, under the leadership of Mr. Thomasson. anything from Einstein’s theories to hypnosis. Since the Forum was not organized as a club, anyone interested in science could attend. The meetings, held usually in students’ homes, were enlivened not only by “weighty” discus- sions, but by refreshments as well. To arouse a more lively interest in reading for both educational and enjoyable pur- poses, the Literary Club was formed again after a lapse of several years. Meetings were held once a month with interesting and varied programs presented. Alice Hydcn Merritt, a Danville Negro woman, whose book of poetry was recently published, was one of the most outstanding speakers. In the spring a tea was held for all old and new members. Financed through dues, books were bought and presented to the library as a gift from the Literary Club. ’49 { 44 y =ss G. W.

Conversational and lively, these half-hour performances represented as nearly as possible every department of the school, bringing out in an informal manner just what was news at G. W. Sponsors Ellis and Dudenhausen deserved much credit for rounding up enjoyable programs which were popular with the students as well as their parents. “I think this shrubbery needs attention, says Sponsor Christopher as he and the 1948 Washingtonians tour the school grounds. All out for G. W., this school-spirited group has definite ideas concerning not only an attractive, well-kept environment for the students, but also a healthful moral atmosphere. When unfair practices arc observed, the boys, upholding the integrity of the school, go to bat. They arc proud of the fact that theirs is the only club in school sponsored by the principal.

It was awarded a “Su- perior Club” certificate by the Associated Distributors Clubs of Virginia, and club president. Bob Gravely, was elected associate vice-president of the state organization. Among the groups activities recognized in the superior rating were a membership drive, an Employer-Employee Banquet, sponsorship of an area convention for Distributors Clubs, voca- tional programs featuring outside speakers, social meetings for members and second prize in a state poster contest. Active members of the organization arc all D. E. students. Associate members arc elected from the student body and must be employed in local stores on a part-time basis. There arc twelve active and fifty-four associate members. In addition to the president, club officers are: Florence Westbrooks, vice-president; Inez Black- well, secretary; Jean Miller, treasurer; James Ingram, parliamentarian; and James Baccary, editor- promotion manager.

Outstanding for their traits of scholarship, character, and leadership in the school, these nine girls were chosen by Principal J. T. Christopher, each to represent her particular field as a Junior Business and Professional Woman. They attended monthly meetings of the club and were excel- lent “ambassadors for George Washington. The meetings proved to lie quite valuable, revealing to them just how necessary it is to be efficient business women and at the same time alert Ameri- can citizens. As Mr. Baxa stands ready to support any suggestions, Mr. Christopher gives tips to these future business men, who are representative of the varied activities of the school. Also, they arc outstanding in scholarship, character, and leadership. They were Junior Kotarians. chosen by the principal from the Senior Class to attend the monthly meetings of the Danville Rotary Club, one Senior being present at each meeting. These boys were very much impressed by the excellent programs of civic affairs—and by the delicious lunches. «I 47 y Major Stokclcy Fulton, Peggy Upchurch. Captain Russell Keek. Pat Ycalls. To give the members training, teach them respect for officers and a general understand- ing of military life arc the main objectives of the corps, which is under the supervision of Coach Vaughn C. Woodall. Besides drill- ing and engaging in mock battles, the boys also gain experience in guard duty. During the two lunch periods guards are posted to close off areas in which classes are in session. The highlights of the years activities arc the maneuvers held at Park Springs and the (Country Club. It is on these maneuvers that the boys get some practical training in “rugged Army life. Another of the anxiously anticipated events of the year is the selection of sponsors by the brass-hats”. Each year the girls look for- ward to the prospect of having their pictures appear by their military friends. Slick Williams. Bcntz Howard. Russell Keek. Coach Vaughn C.

The council- “men”-and-“womcn” look after such things as “yummy” refreshments, “solid” music, and “a slight contribu- tion” at the door when each member strolls, lopes, or walks with dignity, into the “Y” gym for a Friday night of good fun.

Open to all girls of high school age, the Y.W.C.A. Clubs provide fun and entertainment throughout the year. The Amazon, Do-big, True Blue, and Friendship Clubs arc made up of the younger students, who look forward to their Junior year when they become members of the Flotilla. Keeping in mind the de- velopment of the religious, social, and home life of the teen-age girl, directors of these clubs discuss such topics with them at their weekly meetings. Much to the satisfaction of the members, entertainment plays a most important role. Believe it or not, some of these boys governed our State for a few days last year. On the lighter side, they had several gay parties and dances. The club, which is the high school branch of the Y. M. C. A., aspires to develop higher ideals in the fields of religion, sportsmanship, and morals among the boys of the school and the community. Seated: Jimmy Williams, Billy Anderson, G. G.

Meetings, planned and carried out by the members, arc both educational and entertaining. With a well-equipped irkroom at their disposal they spend many enjoyable hours, turning out interesting photos. Increasing :cjrcst among the junior highs finally brought about the founding of a junior Photography Club, a ;cial fKojcct of these enthusiasts. ’49 CAVALIER 1 52 }■ Letch rincj wai a favorite hobby First row: Miss Walton, F.

The art students have certainly been busy around school this year. They have drawn posters for every thing from “Hansel and Gretel” to Cavalier advertisements, made cuts for the Chatterbox, exhibits for the hall, also for the art room. For the regular curriculum, these young Raphaels, after starting with pencils, worked up to oils. Such things as still-life studies and landscapes were attempted by the artists. Last year’s Cavalier was dedicated to their instructor, Miss Walton. ’49 CAVALIER 3 reaidij LOVE “Yes, we’ve been at G. W. for seven years! We’re proud of it,” was the serious refrain from this all-male division. It’s just that these boys couldn't bear the thought of leaving after only six years. Needless to say this group of characters added a great deal to the spirit of fun at the school. They were useful too. Even now I can imagine Richard at the door. “Announcement!” he would call out briskly. There’ll be a pep meeting this afternoon at 3:15. The game at Ixague Park has not been called off.” Everybody would take on new life at such a thrilling reminder. “The purpose of our club is to pro- mote education,” President Richard Wells has just told his fellow cohorts, Berkeley Keek, vice-president.

This theater-minded group, under the capable leadership of Miss Dorothy Fitzgerald, staged many productions of various types during the school year. Stagecraft committees, costumers, general managers, and players, all combined to make “drama life at G. W. practical and interesting, as well as highly entertaining. Those students who make contributions to dramatics, whether in actual performance or stagecraft, arc rewarded with a membership to the Thespians Club, which is a national dramatic honor fraternity for high school students. Those in the upper picture have passed the requirements. Miss Fitzgerald Sponsor ( 58 y re Au Minor Miracle was C. W.’s prize- winning play in the spring of ’48. That was once the state judges agreed with us, that Miss Fitzger- ald's productions arc tops. Here arc shown the four who made up the entire cast: Bill Evans, Sam Adams, Buddy Barker, and Ed Henderson. Almost Eighteen was the first play to be presented this year, and was very popular. It was an hilari- ous comedy, starring Buddy Barker as confused Eddie Barry, who, al- most eighteen. had such a compli- cated life. In the opposite picture are Eddie’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Barry, as port rayed by Harry Mc- Farling and Barbara Torrence. Our annual Christmas play, The Miracle of the Castle, which depicts luxurious living,in a medieval castle, was presented again this year at the City Auditorium. Although this production, on the whole, had been rc-cast (the leading parts, I ady Gwendolyn and Lord (filbert, Bar- bara Torrence, and Harry McFar- ling) the Dramatics Club and the Glee Club worked together to make the performance a greater success than it was the preceding year. (When the Annual went to press, the Senior and Press Club plays had not been chosen.) It wasn't all just work you know; There was a bright side to it. It’s positive these pictures show, “The school and I”—we knew it. ( ( ( With a 3oncj in m y heart voices were uS one The Glee Club has grown in membership this year as well as in activities. For the first time since its organization, an operetta, “Hansel and Grctcl,” taken from E. Humper- dinck’s opera, was presented to the school and to the public. This project was well received, giving urge to an annual presentation of its kind. In the Christmas play, “Miracle of the Castle, the Glee Club again appeared, being cast as lords and ladies, as well as villagers. They added to the color of the play by singing carols and songs of that era. More of the club’s activities arc the State Contest (from which a high rating is always received), and accepting the many invitations extended by the various churches and civic clubs. •I 62 y 1 ixty- c our stron '9 On numerous occasions, the Glee Club was called on to sing in assembly.

MISS Elizabeth Oliver’s love for music and her intense desire that young people love it as she does, are qualities that endear her to those who know and appreciate her work. THIS year’s officers of the Glee Club were June Stephens, presi- dent; June Blanks, vice-president; Mary Meade Robertson, secretary; E. C.

Our team had its ups and dt i owns Beginning the season with the Missouri T-formation, Head Coach Vaughn C. Woodall had to change to the single wing because of the early loss of three backs. Five major injuries plus singu- larly strong opponents held the Rcdbirds’ total to a mere two wins out of the ten games played. For the first tilt the Rcdbirds journeyed to Rcidsville, where they met with disaster. They lost 25-7, while swift-running back. Buck Keeton, broke his leg. George Haley scored for CL W. with Buster Brown converting successfully for the extra point. Next came Roanoke's Jefferson Magicians who defeated the Cardi- nals 26-0 at League Park. On this occasion Co-captains H. B. Fowlkes, Jr. and Stokeley Fulton won recog- nition for outstanding defensive football. The Cardinals knew their worst defeat of the season at Hopewell, with a score of 48-0. It was here that four blocked punts counted for four touchdowns. Winston-Salem followed with an 68 y Second row: G ach Vaughn Woodall, George Haley. Billy Anderson, Ed Wrenn, Jimmy Mas toff. Curly Wil- marth, Eugene Holland.

This was one of the hardest fought games of the season with the entire line showing a determined spirit to fight to the finish. Next came the Cardinals' arch rival, («lass High of Lynchburg, who won over them by a score of 32-0. Luck changed at last when the Redbirds defeated Morrison at League Park 9-0. Buster Brown scored and then followed with the conversion. Curly Wilmarth, co-captain elect, tackled a man behind the goal for a safety. But success did not linger long. Washington-Lee of Arlington romjscd over the Cardinals with a score of 20-0 at Arlington. Fulton and Fowlkes were the line stars with Jerry Davis and Buster Brown sharing the backfield honors. Of all the conference tilts the game with Salem was the hardest fought, but Salem won in the last two minutes of play, the score 6-0. This was the Homecoming game when Jean Farley reigned as Queen with Jean Rush and Anne Murphy, attending. Schoolficld. District champions in Class B, suffered a 7-0 defeat by the Cardinals. Fleet-footed Allan Knick intercepted a j ass on his own 15-yard line and raced eighty- five yards for a touchdown. Buster Brown again converted. 169 y On Turkey Day the Cardinals traveled to Portsmouth where Stokclcy Fulton and H. B. Fowlkes with superb line play held them to one touchdown. . . . By popular vote of the boys receiving monograms, H. B. Fowlkes was presented the Capitol Theatre Trophy as the most valuable player of the year. Later Stokclcy Fulton won the coveted honor from the Class A coaches as guard on the 1948 All-State team for his out- standing defensive play throughout the season. Members of the squad receiving mono- grams were Fred Martin, Cordon Woody, Curly Wilmarth, co-captain elect, Jimmy MaslofT, Ed Wrenn, Fred Hundley, Bobby Parr. Stokclcy Fulton, co-captain elect. Alvis Hardy, Hayes Thomas, H. B. Fowlkes. Jr., Allan Knick, Buster Brown, George Haley, Jerry Davis, Hugh Carson, Ernest White, Mills Rogers. The four boys injured at the beginning of the season were Ace Martin, Raymond Knick, Buck Keeton, and Clarence Barker.

By vote of the football team, Stokclcy Fulton and Curly Wihnarth were elected Co-Captains for the coming year. 73 The Iasi game of the season found the Cardinals in Portsmouth for the annual Thanksgiving Day game and our photog- rapher caught Allan Knick returning a punt for a forty-yard gain. Although play- ing on a muddy field, this was one of the finest games of the year. Light-weight Jerry Davis (also at Ports- mouth) was held back by this same mud, yet he is shown sweeping end for a nice gain. By playing their finest ball of the year, Co-Captains H. B. Fowlkes, Jr. and Stokcley Fulton won high honors for their defensive play. Grand finale would be a proper name for Homecoming week at G. W. The gala event opens with a bonfire on the athletic field, followed by a mile-long parade the next morning. Keeping every- one in high spirits is the main duty of the cheerleaders. Then the big moment arrives. The tra- ditional game is played in League Park. At half-time the Queen and her attend- ants arc presented to the spectators.

Our h too per were on the hall! The Cardinals really got off on the right foot by taking five straight victories, including one confer- ence win over Salem. The sixth game provided the greatest upset of the local basketball season, as School- field nosed out the highly favored Cards 51-50, but later gained sweet revenge from their arch-rivals by swamping them in the second game between the two teams, 66-34. The Cardinals wound up the season with a record of twelve wins against six defeats. Their games in- cluded those with Schoolficld, Salem, Roanoke, Lynchburg, South Boston, Martinsville, Gretna, Averett, Hanes High of Winston-Salem, and the local D. T. I. Tech team. Coach Al Mathes, beginning the season with only three lettcrmcn, lost one of these, Fred Martin, to the Army midway of the campaign. Therefore the season record of the Cards should be considered out- standing and a tribute to Coach Mathes coaching. Captain Bill Smith was high scorer for the season, being closely followed by Bill Bolton. Both boys played outstanding ball during the entire campaign, and as a result Smith was voted the team’s most valu- able player, while Belton was elected captain of next year’s squad. The players who arc likely to receive letters as we go to press arc Bill Smith, Bill Bolton, Avcry Huff, Allen Greenberg, Richard Wells, Stokcley Ful- ton, Rufus Reynolds, Loyd Wilkinson, and Melvin Collins. i 76 y rains an cl L raivn THE CARDINAL WORKHORSES Bill Smith, Mow Valuable Player, and Bill Bolton, elected G.W. captain for the '49-’50 leason, liwcn intently a% Coach Al Mathes diagrams a new play.

WJe have girl athletes too Beginning the season with a loss of four games, these Ladybirds gained experience and came through the rest of their crowded schedule with a winning team. It wasn’t as easy as it sounds, however, because a winning team requires plenty of hard practice and a fighting spirit. With practice beginning early in the fall and a spirit that was never down, the girls had what it took. Mary Ann Harper was a good choice for captain because of her expert ball- handling and outstanding leadership. Not to be overlooked were Mrs. Ingram and Miss Burton, the dependable coaches whose constant aim was to have a successful team. Having played more games than the G. W. girls’ team had for many years, their schedule included contests with South Boston, Martinsville, Gretna, Schoolficld, Phillip’s Business College, Winston-Salem, Belk-Lcggett Office Girls, and Averett College.

The return of Lefty Wilson to the coach’s scat and the coming-through of four untried pitchers were the main factors that contributed to the success of the 1948 baseball team. The Cardinals ran up a record of eight wins and seven defeats. The Redbirds defeated Dan River High 2-1 in the opening game of the season. It was then Stokcley Fulton, con- verted from a third baseman to a pitcher, hurled a beautiful three-hit game, and as a result of his fine pitching and hitting during the rest of the season was voted by his team- mates as the most valuable player. The Redbirds claimed two victories apiece over Dan River, Reidsvillc, and South Boston, split a two-game series w-ith V.P.I. Extension and Schoolficld, dropped one game to Hargrave, and lost two conference tilts with Roanoke. The Jeffersonians came out on top by scores of 18-10 and 6-5. Monograms were awarded to fifteen of Coach Wilson’s diamond performers: Bill Carter, Stokcley Fulton, Bill Dyer, Fred Evans, Richard Wells, Allan Knick, Billy Williams, Frank Fulton, Allen Greenberg, Pat Furgurson, Fred Hundley, Loyd Wilkinson, Otis Barber, Jerry Davis, and Chubby Carson. 4 80 y _ylnd netmen p(.ay. their part G. W.’s 1948 tennis team fought their way to the Virginia Group I finals only to be defeated by talent-laden Thomas Jefferson of Richmond. Coach Marion Wells headed the Card racquctccrs and their loss to T. J. broke their two-year reign as king of high school tennis” in Virginia. Bill Smith, Everett Carter, Bill Carson, Frank Turner, Carl Norburn and Howard Bolton held down the top six positions. George Snead teamed with Bolton in number three doubles. For the third successive season the Rcdbirds copped the Western District crown without a loss. They trounced Lynchburg twice, 7-2 and 5-4, and defeated Roanoke in two close 5-4 matches. On May 7, Coach Well’s netmen overpowered Maury of Norfolk 8-1 to reach the final round of the class A tourney. The next day T. J. eked out a 6-3 win over the Cardinals and thus annexed the Group I Championship. Although G. W. failed to capture the team titles, Smith and Carter won the State Class A Doubles title the previous week by defeating representatives from Maury, T. J., and Suffolk.

And he rapped with his sword at the guardsman So wrinkled and bent and old. “The key is my own,” said the guardsman; “And safe 1 think it would be If such as thou comcst, young master, To open the gate o’ the lea.” “But what is the price?” said the younger. My youth I have and my steed—” “The price is the same and your courage Will stand whenever you need.” “For your road is life,” said the elder; ” Tis narrow and rocky and long, But a goal of great worth shall await him Who follows it through with a song.” Then give me the key,” said the traveler And guided his steed on the way Into the path of the sunlight Into the light of the day. —Margaret Choate -I 101 }• Wc bid you luck, we bid you joy And from this life’s fair treasure Wc pray that you will straightway find Of happiness full measure. ’49 CAVALIER Senior Poem Hark! What arc the words I seem to hear. That sound a meaning we all hold dear? As an echo down from the past they came, Calling each one in our class by name: “Seniors, get ready for your crowning day; It’s here at last,” it seems to say; “You have bravely worked in the years that’vc passed; You are ready to reap a reward at last.” We have labored long on the toilsome road, . And helped each other to bear the load; We’ve come to the place we must bid adieu To our teachers dear, and G. W., too! As we face the dawn of another day. The same old echo seems to say: “Fight on, dear comrades. Be brave and true, And win each battle that is left for you.” We ho| c that our class of ’forty-nine Will live in the hearts of those behind; May it inspire others, their best to do, And to feel they arc victors when their work is through.

W. seniors. Nomi- nated by their homerooms, approved by school officials as well as the staff of the High School Register, eleven of the group above had their biographies published in this biographical index of outstanding high school students in America. Such qualities considereJ were scholarship, leadership ability, service to school and community, personality, and probable future usefulness to society.” As pictured, those in- cluded in the High School Register arc Connie Higgs, Tommie Collie, Celeste Bishop, Albert Kahn, Jane Schoolficld, Preston Purdum, Raymond Knick, John Heard, Bent Howard, Homer Bass, and Brantley Barr. These, with the last two in the row, Mary Lane Stembridge and Harry McFarling, also comprised the group from G. W. known as Who’s Who in American High Schools.” 1 132 i Miss Cleo. Johnson Miss Clco Johnson passed away on February 13, 1949, as the result of a traffic accident. Having served in the Danville School System for the past fifteen years, six of them at G. W., Miss Johnson was well known to each teacher and student. Especially well known was she to the Senior Class, having been closely associated with a group of them as homeroom teacher during their entire stay at George Washington High. Her gentle guiding spirit, her very special interest in each student, her friendly, cordial smile, has touched their lives with an enduring influence. 1 133 Y ) ( ) III ) I I ((( ) ) ) III }}) I ( } III ( C ( III ( c c ) ) ) ) ) ) ((( ))) )}} III V V III f I f ))) ))) ))) Is this goodbye?
