(jjyv IjDJUL 0 0 FOREWORD With the long awaited strains of Pomp and Circumstance” just beyond our hearing range, we, the class of ’50, begin to look back over the years we spent in the old familiar classrooms. It is here that we dreamed the dreams of youth, learned of the past, prepared for the future, and wrote the first chapter of our lives. There were many golden moments in that chapter. Now in- delibly written in our minds, some of the most impressive have been chosen to be highlighted in the ’50 Cavalier. May we in the years to come as we turn the pages of our yearbook be recalled to our high school days and think fondly to ourselves, I remember.” “Vybc. ... £LnwDocL (Davits “VVUaa!’ . . .

We shall not be forgetting the ’49 winners soon, ’'Her” because of her school spirit, vivac- ity, and a smile as bright as her hair; Him” because of his friendliness, good humor and easygoing iikeability. Old Man Sun had a smile on his face when he lighted Miss Ethel Dodson’s path to GWHS that early September morning six years ago. She came supplied with a radiant charm, a captivating manner, and remarkable versatility. Knowing a good thing when we saw it, we warmed to her immediately and she soon was not only a teacher but a friend as well. In 1945, her second year at GW, Miss Dodson added to her already heavy duties in the English Department by assuming the sponsorship of the Cavalier. Her work in this capacity, her gentle voice, easy laugh, and sincere interest in each of us has made her one of our favorite instructors. Therefore, the Class of ’50 takes great pleasure in dedicating this issue of the Cavalier to our Woman of the Year,” MISS ETHEL M.

W. way of life. Sometime in late spring, one whole week is devoted to the campaigning and election of the Student Council heads. During this week the candidates’ managers carry on the campaign by means of posters, banners, handbills and the like. With the ’49-’50 vote in, the results were: Mary Denny Wilson, president; Davis Hamlin fcc-presidcnt; and Jack Scism, secretary-treasurer. One member from each homeroom makes up thA tudcnt organization. At regular meetings the group discussed various improvements to be made in«Jnd around the school. They also pro- moted such projects as Red Cross and Community ChcsjjTto ra� ticket sales, and an orientation period for incoming seventh grade students. Oi At the National Association of Student ComfttfsJjpVnvention, held last summer in Cincinnati, Ohio, G. W. was represented by our president, MaEy®emvp Vilson, who was also Virginia’s only delegate.

Mrs. Hill’s familiar sentences may still be haunting them: Julian, your editorials aren’t in.” Barbara, where’s your column?” Did you know your feature story was due yesterday, Nancy?” Carter, every story needs a headline.” Since 1922 there have been Chatterbox staff members going through the same racy routine to give birth to their brain children. Yet it was worth it, for they have piled up awards and honors year after year. Furthermore, individual GW students have gained recognition for being outstanding on college publications and afterwards in the field of writing. Well remembered arc the days when Mrs. Hill went to the printers, and also the Fridays when The Chatterbox came out and they got to sec it first. It was fun spon- soring the Press Club play, and nothing could be better than a climactic banquet. Most of all it was important to be a part of one of GW’s favorite institutions. Mrs. Nora Payne Hill Sponsor -i COUNTING THEIR green ducks” after they arc hatched are the business heads, while their financial adviser, Miss Rebekah Coppedge, watches over the brood. They are preparing to distribute to all subscribers buttons adorned tith jjicjp mascot. THAT’S A FAMILIAR look in Nancy’s eyes, as she throws an under- standing glance across The Chatterbox trophies to her fellow head wretch” Julian. We who saw them hand in copy to Mrs. Hill remember that ex- pression as a mirror of the high school journalist’s hopes and fears. During the year the editors gazed upon honors and trophies of Green Ducks past. Now Nancy is crossing her fingers and join- ing Julian in the hope that they can keep up the same tradition of being on top that seems to be a habit with their sponsor. With a constant turn- over of journalistic talent, Mrs. Hill has turned out a superior Chatterbox all of the twenty-six years she has been with the paper, and her students have left GW with a wealth of helpful experience in handling their nouns and verbs. When we think of Friday afternoons, we will call to mind also the 3:2 5 scurry for Chatterboxes. ph MAVfld JvuLTl IjSMhA, JUiWAWUuL mSLMtflisiA. . . .

HOW DILIGENTLY THE Cavalier Staff worked to capture and preserve the spirit of G.W.! Al- most any day we could see Ann Shaw rushing around begging students to pay up early and win a free Cavalier,” or Frieda wracking her brain for some original catchy phrase. Buddy Mac” and Ernie acquired the habit of popping up at the most unusual times to snap an unsuspecting victim’s picture. Mr. Hitchcock made the rounds of the classrooms, as well as the broad, attractive campus. The Cavalii-r has many laurels of which to be proud. Since ’46 it has been recognized by the SIPA as one of the three top yearbooks among the ten states represented. In ’48 the Cavalier won the coveted trophy. The ’50 Staff, trying to uphold the standard set for them, did everything possible to produce a Cavalier anyone would be proud to own. They worked with the sincerest hope that in the future de- cades, this year’s graduates and students would turn the pages of the Cavalier only to recall vividly some phase of life at G.W which meant a great deal to them. i 35 Jkmh, avcJmqsiiu wqJisl abovsL avsXaqsL . . . hirst row: Peggy Nichols.

However, membership in the National Honor So- ciety is not based on scholarship alone. Students, elected in by members, must be approved by a faculty committee, possess outstanding qualities of leadership, character, and service, and be of sophomore, junior, or senior classification. Directed by Mrs. Margaret F. Motley, the group held num- bers of activities during the year, the main event being a dinner-dance at the Country Club.

Mr. Houser, at the left, and Mr. Perkinson, at the right, arc the sponsors.

When they had been approved and initiated into the club, these boys and girls had reached a height which belongs to very few in high school. Under the supervision of Mrs. Hill or Miss Dodson, they strove for proficiency and perfection with Quill and Scroll as an ultimate goal. Those who showed talents and put forth great effort or who proved themselves capable of shouldering responsibility were eventually rewarded. Each of these Juniors and Seniors has not only been outstanding on a publication but also ranks in the upper third of his class. Besides the customary honors, they look forward to the traditional cheese sandwiches, which Mrs. Hill serves at the semi-annual initiations.

MADAMOISELLE CHEEK, HER gay manvzels and monsieurs, really proved that French could be fun. Moments were kept lively with French skits, records, newspapers and native speakers. Lusty voices, that certainly lacked no volume, issued forth often from 306, singing L.l Marseillaise” or French Christmas carols. In order that Jack might not be a dull boy, many social activities were included in La Flcur-dc- Lis” program; parties, picnics and hayrides were just a few of the never-to-be forgotten highspots. Finally all that was needed to complete the picture was Chtries Boyer . . . wonder if he’d recognize the accents? THEY JUSTLY CLAIM to be studious, yet the Span’sh Club has that spice of life needed to make any class a success. Senorita Cooke really kept things popping, with no time for siestas. Spanish newspapers, records, skits and group singing made the programs entertaining. There was plenty of social life, too, which gave their Don Juans a chance to shine. The only thing this club seemed to miss out on was Spanish bull- fights—but maybe next year. 38 y DISCARDING THE BELIEF that Latin is a dead language,” these students have formed a club to keep it very much alive. According to Mr. A. B. Wilson, their sponsor, the principal aim was to learn the Latin terminology of the most common objects of their surroundings and some of the early Roman customs. The highlight of the year was the celebration of the Roman Christmas in January when characteristic foods were served and costumes were worn. i � ) £ 5- (jO. qo A, Jjaiin, . . . i 39 y JhsL ma tsh. pjainisAA, • C � fin! row: Sue Page Franklin, Chase Stuart Wheatley, Stanley Goodrich, Pete Cook.

Their work was featured in the Cavalier, in The Chatterbox, and in stage sets for all high school plays; it also appeared on numerous posters for the various activities conducted by school organizations. In class, these artists followed a progressive curriculum, starting with pencil and working up to oils. Two still life paintings by Helen Heard were displayed at the Virginia State School exhibit in Richmond. -I 40 y AS AN HONOR MEMBER of the ASSOCIATED DISTRIBUTORS’ CLUBS OF VIRGINIA, the DE organization, under the guidance of Miss Mary V. Marks, has become one of the best in the state. With fifty-three members, thirteen active and forty associate, working toward that goal, there were numerous activities which brought recognition to them as well as to the school. Banquets, socials and conferences were only a few of the many educational and social events which will be long remembered by its members. Along with the Employer-Employee Banquet, one of the bigger affairs, there was sponsorship of a Vocational Conference on Retailing, a skit for the Business and Professional Women’s Club of our city, representation of the organization to the area and state convention of Distributors’ Club and other such outstanding projects.

Baxa to represent the various activities of our school. We were proud to know that these future young business men, outstanding in leadership, scholarship, and character, were to be our voice at the weekly luncheons given by the Danville Rotary Club. To mingle with the business wizards of our town and have the privilege of enjoying the excellent entertainment and delicious food was, indeed, a memorable experience. OUTSTANDING IN LEADERSHIP, scholarship, character, and various activities of school life, these eight senior girls were chosen by Principal J. T. Christopher to attend the monthly meetings of the Danville chapter, American Association of University Women. As a University Nominee, each attended one of the meetings, acting as a representative of both the school and her particular activity. This year the AAUW sponsored the group, replacing the Business and Professional Women’s Club, sponsor in previous years. d 42 h AS LIBRARY ASSISTANTS the girls checked out, re- newed, and shelved books. They also helped students find information for reports and suggested books for parallel reviews. In performing such duties, they rendered great service to Miss Johns, the librarian, besides receiving valu- able training in library work. Miss Pcnultima Johns came to G.W. just this year, replacing Miss Lucy Fitz- gerald. ■{ 43 y Sca eJ: l.indlcy. Cooler, Nichols, Franklin, Kahn, Torrence, Trent, Krasny. StiinJiiig: Koplcn, Wells.

THE SCIENCE FORUM was organized three years ago for the purposes of discussing and learning more about the various fields of science. A popular club from the start, last year membership was limited to only eighteen science enthusiasts, new members being admitted by invitation of Mr. Thomasson, the sponsor. Meetings, held every two weeks at the homes of members, were enlivened as much by the refresh- ments served as by the interesting discussions on the subjects chosen. WITH PRINCIPAL J. T. CHRISTOPHER as sponsor, the Washingtonians contributed much toward keeping our school in good condition. Defacing of school property and unsportsmanlike conduct were among the practices against which this club stood. This school-spirited group of young men, acting as intermediates between the principal and students, created better understanding and a more healthful atmosphere between students and faculty. Active in all school affairs, the WASHINGTONIANS was an honorary organization of which the members were very proud. ■{ 44 I- t BhiqhL liqhiA, ihsL dahlc JWDWL . . . Proof of our proficiency . . .

With their primary object to create interest and further the skill in photography, these students were proud to have as their sponsor, Mr. Thomasson, although he often ad- mitted to them, I am just an amateur myself.” To inspire greater interest in their special line of work, they sometimes held contests. Behold a couple of their prize winners at the top of the page!

We liked the dear old halls so well that we decided to throw in an extra year just for fun, was the serious observation made by these gay blades of G. W. This all-male group has added much to the spirit and fun of the school. They seem indeed to be the most school-spirited group at G. W. However, the prime purpose of the Seven-Year Club is to promote education. Studious and serious-minded, students in the club arc intensely interested in this quest for knowledge. Yes, even if it takes seven years. PRESIDENT BEATTY IS explaining the importance in tak- ing one’s time in obtaining an education. He, Bob Bankhead, Roger Lea, Shag Browder and Richard Wells arc well quali- fied for leadership in the club. i 46 y THE FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA CLUB was one of the most active organizations at G. W. As a participant in the Piedmont Association of the Virginia hederatiori of the FHA, the group conducted many projects during the year and attended meetings throughout Pittsyl- vania County. However, the highlight of the group’s activities comes in the summer when the girls may attend the FHA camp at Morgot’s Beach, Virginia, (pictured below). There they not only learn more about FHA work but also have a good time while doing so. Last summer La Verne Hudgins, Laura Anne Jones, and Joanne Everett were Danville’s representatives at the camp. Ola Wellman was the delegate to the State Convention at Fishcrsvillc, Virginia, last June. The officers of the 1949-50 club were Lorraine Carter, president, Ola Wellman, vice-president; Marie Gibson, secretary; Delores Strader, treasurer; Annie Lee Iscnhour, parliamentarian, and Laura Anne Jones, reporter. At a special ceremony silver FHA pins were awarded to first-year members, while those partici- pating for the second year received guards. JJul wmp io cl maml hoct ii, . . .

These girls have many worthwhile and entertaining projects and contribute much to the school as a whole. At the end of the year when they have built their treasury to its maximum, the Y-Tccns look forward to a fun- packed week-end at Stony Mill. A FLOTILLA AT LAST!” This expresses the sentiment of all newly initiated Flotilla members. All G. W. girls look forward to the time when they can become part of this popular and active club for junior and senior girls. Their aim is to become better citizens and make a better world. Neither do ’'Flotillas” slight the opposite sex, who get in on the dances, hay rides, picnics, and other jamborees. As a branch of the Y. W. C.

THE NATIONAL ATHLETIC Scholarship Society is an honorary organization for boys who have won a letter in one of the sports in school or cheerleading. A bcttcr-than-avcrage student, he must also have shown the highest ideals in sportsmanship, not only in athletics but in his other activities. Purposes of the society are: to develop more outstanding leaders in the schools of the United States; to promote better scholastic records among athletes; to stimulate a desire for training; and above all to elevate the standards of sportsmanship by setting good examples for others. A sound mind in a sound body is the all-in-all purpose of the club. The Society Charter was granted to George Washington High School in May, 1946. When the G. W. chapter was first founded. Coach G. L. Quirk was appointed sponsor, and through his and Mr. Christo- pher’s efforts, the organization was begun. Mr. L. G. Wilson has been the sponsor since 1947. From the first the club has been very successful in raising the ideals of sportsmanship and scholastic standing in G. W. During its existence, the society has more than proved its value to the school. ■I so y JhsL SL ‘ctoltoA, Ksuadikl addsuL coksv ... to Achoot tifsL jfuaqsA, . . .

THE GLEE CLUE of George Washington High under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Oliver has contributed greatly to school life. A number of the programs given at G. W. and at the city auditorium would not be complete without the voices of these boys and girls. During the course of the year they gave many inspiring programs for various clubs in and out of town. A Christmas program was given at Averett College; late in December they gave Handel’s Messiah” at the First Baptist Church for the American Association of University Women; also during the year they furnished music for the Rotarians, Lions, and several women’s clubs in Milton, Halifax, and South Boston. Many years the Glee Club has entered the State contest, returning home happy and content after receiving a Superior Rating.” These boys and girls, under the leadership of Miss Elizabeth Oliver, sing their notes clear and true. Every day they practice and are rewarded highly by the applause of the assembly groups. WEARING THEIR WHITE sweat- ers, the Glee Club stands looking as if any minute they might burst forth in one of their gay songs. WELL REMEMBERED ARE Jean and Charlene for their portrayal of Han- sel and Grctcl. Their splendid work stood out during the events of the year. WITH THEIR HEARTS in their work these members of the Glee Club gave thanks for the happy return of the children, the death of the witch and the delicious goodies on the house in the performance of Hansel and Grctcl.

These boys and girls marched slowly down the aisles of the auditorium traditionally carrying lighted candles, singing softly as they came. It was indeed a highlight of the year for every G.W.-itc, for it seemed to start off the joyous season in the proper moot!. No more studying after this till January 2. One of the favorite carols of the student body was Hark, Hear the Bells” which the Glee Club sang to perfection.

The first and all important purpose of the organiza- tion is to familiarize its members with the basic training they will receive if they are called upon to enter the armed forces. Under the supervision of Commandant V. C. Woodall the military corps has continued in impor- tance at G. W. Some of its services to the school are guarding restricted areas during lunch and assisting at public performances. The corps is a compact unit of serious-minded students who will stand militarily prepared if the occasion demands. Many boys, who were in the serv- ice during World War 11, found their experiences in the Cadet Corps useful. The corps this year consists of two platoons or on: rifle company. Rifles of the Springfield 1903 type are used in manual-of-arms practice and drill. Maneu- vers and hikes were held several times during the year to train the boys who might some day need this knowledge in defense of their country. hsmmib JL . . .

Serious injuries were held to a minimum throughout the schedule. Using the Missouri split-T formation, Coach Vaughn C. Woodall and his new assistant, Lester Hooker, led their team through some stiff confer- ence competition. After two bad defeats the Car- dinals settled down and made a fair impression with their opponents. Journeying to Rcidsville for the season opener, the Redbirds met a powerful force that romped over them 35-12. Haley and Carson scored for Danville while Quarterback Chaney was the workhorse for the Golden Lions. Captain Stokclcy Pulton began the season with his same brand of ball which has come to be regarded as spectacular. In the Roanoke Victory Stadium, the Cardinals were hopeless against the Jefferson High Magicians as far as offense was concerned. The defensive at- tack was led by Captain Pulton and Ed Wrenn. After two defeats and a week’s rest the Red- birds bounced back and beat their city rival, Schoolfield, 18-0. It was a hard-fought ball game (How could wsl iJuwL . . .

In their second Conference game of the season the Cardinals held Glass High of Lynchburg to only three touchdowns. The final score was 20-0. Lynchburg later tied Roanoke 14-14. This gave the Western District title to both teams. Meeting Martinsville for the first time, the Redbirds came from behind and beat them 13-6. Buster Brown and Raymond Knick scored touch- downs while Stokic Fulton again played a bang-up game defensively. The Cardinals next journeyed to Morrison where they met the undefeated Farmers. In the second period the Morrison boys cashed in on a fumble and a long pass in the end zone to beat the Redbirds 13-0. Back home again and trying for their third win, the Cards beat Hargrave Military Academy 19-0. Allan Knick, the fleet-footed scatback, took a punt on his own 21-yard line and raced 79 yards for a touchdown. Wrcnn and Fitzgerald also scored TD’s. Every member of the line showed his de- fensive skill. On the road again the Cardinals went to Salem where they were defeated 9-7 in the hardest fought battle of the year. Jerry Davis carried the ball over the pay-off line and Buster Brown converted. The game was filled with fumbles and injuries to both teams. It was Home-coming when the Cardinals met Cradock High in League Park. The Red- birds were right and led the field during the entire contest.

Converting the extra point, the Cardinals won their all important Home-coming Game 13-0. As usual on Thanksgiving Day the Redbirds journeyed to Portsmouth. Making a desperate at- tempt in the final minutes, little Billy Williams scored two touchdowns after a long pass to Daniel Morris and a blocked kick by Stokie Fulton. Ports- mouth won the annual Turkey Day battle 28-12. The members of the football team showed their appreciation to their captain, Stokeley Fulton, by voting him the most valuable player of 1949.

GOLF RETURNED TO GW in 1950 when Hughes, Woody, Strange, and Kent gained permission from Mr. Christopher to carry on. Lacking in both experience and veteran players, the squad with Beau Hughes as leader, planned a well-balanced schedule for the year, most of the playing taking place during April and May. The team consisted of (as they appear in the picture, back row first): Henry Walker, Sam Kent, Charlton Strange, Royster Lyle, Beau Hughes, Gordon Woody, and Daniel Morris. The junior varsity, Stanley Goodrich, Hosea Wilson, Ronnie Smith, Bob Eggleston, Tony Carroll, Jack Barnett, Fred Leggett, Jack Frizzell, and John Dickenson, made up a promising group for 1951.

COACH LEFTY WILSON, coaching for his third straight year after returning from service, last sea- son had one of the best baseball teams ever produced on the G.W. nine. Roanoke, our powerful Western Dis- trict rival, defeated the Redbirds twice for their only losses. On the ’49 team were three excellent pitchers, Stokie Fulton, Tommy Claud, and Billy Carter. Fulton lost both of the games, but they were the finest of the season. Richard Wells, G. W.’s hustling catcher, was voted by his teammates as the Most Valuable Player” and first baseman Frank Fulton and third baseman Allan Knick were chosen for captains of the ’50 season. Expecting the best diamond nine ever, Coach Wilson has a great problem. Who will fill the shoes of Catcher Wells? When this question is answered, it is believed the Cardinals will go on to a victorious season.

Our hardwood heroes, led by Captain Bill Bolton, finished the season with a 13-6 record. The Cardinals’ worst defeat was dealt by Lynchburg’s Glassmcn, with the final score at 63 to 35, a defeat which put the Cardinals out of the running for the State Tournament. A good feature of this game, however, was that Bolton brought up his score to beat the school’s record of 283 points made by Ray Wynn in 1938. Bolton, who was runner-up last year, has an all time high for G. W. with 314 points. The Cardinals took sweet revenge on South Boston by swamping Friend High School 52-37. In a previous game the South Boston quintet edged the Cardinals out with a 57-54 score. In this battle. Bill Carter scored 16 points for the Redbirds, while Bol- ton and Melvin Collins scored 13 and 12 tallies, respectively. The Cards were victorious in the last of their regular games, which was played with V. P. I. Extension. Carter and Collins scored high in this contest with 16 and 8 points, respectively. Leading the G. W. hoopers next year will be Bill Bolton, who was elected again to that position by his teammates. Coach Al Mathes announced on the WBTM sportscast that that stations most valuable player award would go to—you guessed it!—Bill Bolton. Mathes announced also, that thirteen boys would receive letters this year. They were: Jack Woods, Mickey Crawford, Melvin Collins, Billy Carter, Alfred Mebane, Bobby Fitzgerald, Gene Holland, Ray Martin, Johnny Royster, Stokie Fulton and Managers Frank Fulton and Dan Dickenson. In looking forward to next year, our school can expect another fine team. Coach Al Mathes and Captain Bill Bolton are expecting a good percentage of the varsity back next year, even though only four lettermen will return. As a whole George Washington can expect a roaring, scoring basketball team, with their hopes set on state honors. VYlaihsiA.

According to Coach Al Mathes, he is expect- ing a stronger cage team next season than he had this year. In view of this fact, games with Gretna, V. P. I. Extension, and Reidsville will probably be discontinued in favor of scheduling games with other Class A schools outside G. W.’s particular district. These would prob- ably include Thomas Jefferson of Richmond, and other schools around in that area of the state. The G. W. five should be particularly strong offensively with Captain Bill Bolton, Alfred Mebanc, John Woods, and Mickey Crawford, who arc all sharpshooters. Adding that extra fight and height under the backboards will be Bobby Fitzgerald, Carrager Henderson and John Booth. Up and coming players from the Junior Var- sity who should add strength to the team are Enoch Jones, Joe Reynolds, Roy Holland, and Charles Denny. These boys’ experience on the Junior Varsity will probably prove invaluable to the team.

The Ladybirds in their second tilt with Ferrum trounced them by a score of 30 to 18. In addition to Ferrumi, G. W. defeated two other college teams twice each. They were Averett and National Busi- ness College of Roanoke. Mary Ann Harper led the Redbirds, scoring 2 03 points, with Betty Jean Myers and Peggy Davis holding down the other two forward posts. Out- standing guards of the season were Nancy Holland, Wanda Dunlap, Nancy Hoskins, and Joan Redman. Members of the team graduating this year arc Nancy Holland, Nancy Hoskins, and Alyce Jane Hundley.

In the past years the Cardinal racquctcers have made fine showings against such teams as Maury of Norfolk, Lynchburg and Roa- noke. In 1948 their first loss, to Thomas Jefferson of Richmond, broke their hold as champions of high school tennis in Virginia.

Wicky Swain, Jacky Knick and Tommy MacFarling were constant threats to their op- ponents. The pass snatching of Captain Melvin Nunn and Roy Up- church set up a number of touch- downs throughout the season.

As one of the outstanding activities of the first semester, the faculty-student basketball game, sponsored by the Cavalier staff and the Monogram Club, proved a great success. This was one occasion of the year that the faculty and students alike let their hair down.

Wilson cutting curves on his baby scooter, Mr. Lefty” Wilson (wearing his horsccollar) and Mr. Jones getting in a little practice in their respective sports, the crowd was aroar with laughter. The Monogram boys also added to the fun with their antics. Despite the clowning an excellent game was staged between the faculty and students. JwwmboJv . ..

I'LL NEVER FORGET Wide flung doors stood beckoning, As if to say, “Come in! And sure’s the day of reckoning, I entered with a grin. So bold I stepped inside the door To start in Junior High— Not half so brave, one minute more, I wished to say, Goodby! The eighth grade came with all its fun; Yes, I was growing fast. I studied so that I'd be one, Who to the ninth grade passed. The lords of Junior High we were That third and fateful year, But did I pass, you ask? Well—sir— I'd rather stay right here. Frieda Kahn A 90 }■ TRIBUTE Have you a heart that’s light as air? A smile that's friendly, also fair? A laughing, winning, winsome way That serves to cheer the darkest day? A courteous manner, words polite. A will to stand for what is right. To help in all the ways you may To bring a richer, fuller day? And so achieve a better iife With steady gait instead of strife? If all such virtues you adore Surely You're A Sophomore! —Margaret Ann Ciioate.

Few are the words I present— But so importitent. Try you—vivacity And pertinacity Not demi-tassity— Gay now and sassity. Sophistication Fit for your station Lords of a nation Time is a-wastion. Fear not exertion, Complete immersion— If learning Persian Or products of Worsham. Advice always treasure Give (without pressure) Spare time and leisure All in full measure. So halt retrogression, Need of confession In closeted session, Or Teacher's aggression. So learned and happy you ever will be And if you ain't Don't blame it on me!

Not yet like Seniors, calm and serious Nor Junior Highs, with ways delirious— We present sophisticate exteriors To these our small inferiors. Studies no more may make us weary, X2s no longer leave us bleary, We have learned the electron theory— It's all quite simple, dearie. Football games no more amaze us, Skipping, tardies never faze us. We think that these are gala days, us Juniors, and it pays us. We re intelligent, filled with cultra, Witty, bright, of knowledge fulltra— We're received among the adultra— We re so ultra ultra. We re ambitious, and someday we Might be famous people, maybe— But we ll never live so gaily As when Juniors—may we? Margie Talbott, 1 101 h h msmbsiJv . .. “I am my Past so long as I am I.” For the Past lives on within the mind. And when in memory's haze we see the faces, the happy and sad ones, the laughter-loving ones, the sympathetic kind ones, we will think back and recall half wistfully all the dear names and indi- vidual personalities of those within these pages.. . Our Seniors—friends and classmates. SENIORS SENIOR POEM Long we wandered glad in golden valleys Liquid days of wondrous sweet content— Those days of our content; Nor eager made our none too-frequent sallies Into a gloomy world on sorrow bent In awesome vastness—weary, worn and spent. Yet now our dreams like effervescent shadows Have led us to a threshold glimpsed afar, A mountain pass afar; And roused All-Brave Desires lying fallow That kindle like a staunch and glowing star A flame, that blackest night could never mar. See—how the glimmering mountain tops evade us. Now beckon on with luminescent ray, With faint, evading ray; O let us go before the days do fade us And quench the cherished dream fire quite away And cause our footsteps then to go astray. Within our hands the staff of courage is wielded Above our heads an ivory standard furled, Pure hope's white banner furled: We come prepared from Youth's green valley sealed Rejoice! Rejoice! and shouts of triumph hurl To yon mist-ridden vastness called the world. For if we bear—each one—his liahted heart-fire To some crude crevice of that cavernous space, O distant darkened space, And raise our voices in almighty choir Then shall all Heaven's windows ape apace And Light shall flood the earth from His Fair Face. —Margaret Ann Choate.

Wc knew people and they knew us . . . and supported the Alma Mater, too. Cooperative firms all over the city backed our activities and even made pos- sible our publications, the annual, the paper. When we needed furniture for school plays, a sponsor for the basketball tickets, a store window — for displaying posters — why, our merchant friends offered a helping hand. Jhsuf w iSL out ikmA, AhosdstaiPwA. 0 0 0 Hi-ho! It was off to work they went with bright faces and their most charming manners. The merchants just didn’t have a chance! With Bobby Fields at their head as Advertising Manager, these twenty-three stu- dents canvassed the town from one end to the other. Although there were often aching feet and tired backs, the thought that Danville businessmen were their friends and that the Cavalier was on the way to realization more than made up for the effort put forth. The two teams, led by Mary Miles Puryear and Beau Hughes, were in strict com- petition. Mary Miles proved the best woman” would win by getting a great number of the ads herself and urging her helpers on to victory. Approximately one hundred fifty establishments took space in the Cavalier, a fact which made the staff feel that Danville docs things.” i 136 y OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS Mr. Raymond Hitchcock Miss Marion Hitchcock THEY ARE SATISFIED ONLY WITH THE BEST i 137 y Designers and engravers of the South’s finest school publications T LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA i 138 y 139 V Home E MOfflki Exhibit at the Danville Fair See the Exhibits at the I9JO Fair — September 26, 27, 28, 29, JO L.

It has increased in size to become the world's largest single unit textile mill. • Like the majority of industrial enterprises in our great country, Dan River Mills has survived the test of time and grown greater by continually serving three groups of people—employees, customers and stockholders—with fairness, freedom and fidelity. • Only in a free society such as ours can an enterprise grow great through the con- tinued confidence of the people. This confidence has been built upon a foundation of freedom . . . freedom of the worker to choose his employer, freedom of the customer to choose high quality products at fair prices and freedom of the in- vestor to buy a share of ownership in American industry. • The Dan River Story is a story of continued confidence . . . the confidence of a free society.

And good service starts with competent, well-trained tele- phone people, as shown by the following letters: From a doctor: “The service is nearly perfect. Your op- erators are always efficient and their courtesy is refreshing.” From a lawyer: “No operator was ever more considerate or ever gave better service than she did. Please thank her in our behalf.” From a business man: “We appreciate the courteous and efficient service. In many instances your operators went beyond the normal line of duty in an effort to help in any way they could. May I say ‘thank you’!” From a fire chief: “Eighteen years of fire duty here have given me a very high regard for your telephone operators. They have shown alertness and resourcefulness ... and have handled difficult problems or located badly identified fires like experienced fire department officers.” The “voice with a smile” holds a proud place on every tele- phone team. And her courteous, helpful service has become a traditional part of American life. The Chesapeake Potomac Telephone Company of Virginia.
