GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL DANVILLE, VIRGINIA Pop Jar Pair MR. AND MISS G. W. Jimmy Leonard and Betsy Garrett examine a whole trunk full of the things we want to remember. The school body chose them as representative Seniors. (tariff lit as a dollar When Miss Rebekah Coppedge joined the GWHS faculty back in 1936, the school didn’t know how lucky it was. For ever since that day Miss Coppedge has been taking a most constructive part in school activities and in general making herself popular with both students and teachers. In an official capacity she puts in a great deal of con- Miss Rebekah Coppedce scientious work as the Cheerleaders’ sponsor and business adviser to The Chatterbox. But it is her willingness to perform such extra duties as chaperoning buses to out-of-town football games and helping decorate for var- ious dances that has endeared her to the students at GW. She is never too busy to help a student with some special task or offer valuable advice to those who frequently seek her counsel. And we think it is fun just to be with Miss Coppedge, for her cheerfulness, her personal charm, and most of all, her keen sense of hu- mor have enlivened many a classroom discussion or out-of-school gathering. And so to you. Miss Coppedge, we, the Seniors, dedicate this ’5 I Cavalier, and offer our sincere thanks for all you have done in making our high school days so enjoyable. the AtrucjCfle against 7- June: Safely first, said Mr. Policeman to the liny folk of ihe seventh grade, but from the appearance of Mary Vaden’s looking on either side of the street she’ll get both Brantley Jones and herself across minus the help of the policeman. As we always say a little extra help gets you a long way. This picture was often enacted when the rush of kids got too much for the poor perplexed drivers. The scene brings back old memo- ries to us seniors who haven’t been walked across the street in Y-E-A-R-S. Pretty neat jobs (the motor bikes, that is) guaranteed to gel you to school on time or (the office should never hear of this) furnish you an excuse for being late. The slccpy-heads call it motor trouble, you know. At the moment John Dickenson is doing a little experimenting on how much he can cram into the back of his scooter with the interesting but not too helpful suggestions of Lawrence Mann and Roger Ferguson. As we gel it from the boys, If you want to solve your problems, and incidentally add new ones, buy a motor bike.” Some walked, some rode motor bikes, but these people came to school in style. They arrived so swiftly in a brand new Oldsmobile that there was plenty of time for a jam session. Wonder what the big discussion was about—possibly the Homecoming Dance with the choice of a queen and her attendants or maybe the more serious question of when would we get a new school and where would it be. Whatever it was you can be sure it was lively talk with Anne, Henry and Margie disagreeing with Mills and Jim while Arch and Betsy look on with good humor. All good things come to an end, so books were hastily grabbed and each made a wild dash for his homeroom as the tardy bell rang. Among My Souvenirs ivere human. The � ixly-four dollar question was. Arc teacher human? We think thi picture prove they are. Gathered 1 . Mu ic hath charm� , especially when played by the� e two gentlemen. Mr. Stryker and Mr. Sturgcll were always willing to render their latest arrangement and, believe you me, we were always willing to listen. Anything from blues to the classical sounds appealing when played by this talented twosome. We in Mr. Sturgell's history classes wouldn't have been surprised to hear the Presidents of the United States recited to the tune of My Funny Valen- tine 'cause the man claimed he just couldn't get music out of his system. around to have their share of fun were Mr. Smith, Miss Sours, Mr. Sutherlin, Miss Brown and Mr. Craig. They look as happy as if we weren’t right around the corner. Maybe they were discussing Mr. Craig's urgent invitation from Uncle Sam. It must have been urgent, because he left within a week after making this remark, 1 knew I should have stayed behind the snowdrift in the hills of West Virginia! Oh. happy day! It’s a boy, fellas I These excited outbursts followed by a sudden shower of cigar announced the arrival of Douglas Rupert Jones, Jr. This wa one precious package Ole Santa couldn't wait to deliver, 0-0 on the morning of December I, Mary and Doug Jones found Junior in their stocking. A few howls and a boisterous inquiry of Where's breakfast? proved they had a bouncing baby boy who had certainly inherited his Fathers appetite and both parents good looks. The first lucky teachers to hear the good news were Mr. Bacon. Mr. Beyea, Mr. Sturgell and Mr. Houser who con- gratulated the proud Pop heartily. Mr. Sturgell gave the timely advice to be sure to rule baby with a stern hand or else fifteen years from now he absolutely would refuse to teach little Doug his history, for, There is nothing I dislike so much as an undisciplined young man.” Well, everyone finally quieted down; even Mr. Jones who claimed the excitement had been too much for him and who was sure he would never be the same again. We're sure too. 'cause walking Junior at three a. m. does things to change a man. FACULTY Left to Right: Nancy Glenn Gardner. Rutherford Harvey. Clyde Sawyer.

The downtown office attends to the business of the Danville Schools, while the uptown office is mostly concerned with the everyday duties of high school. 1 he downtown office is full of friendly, but busy, people.

Likewise the uptown office is full of activity, but Miss Copeland or Mrs. Fentriss are never too busy to help us. Of course.

Diana was pretty serious about the whole thing on this night, but Terry Ley took it in his stride. You can't tell me that Marion and Red didn't realize that we had a photographer there. Courtenay was hitting it off hot in the background but keeping an eye on the refreshment table. Well, we just as well admit that we all like the food. A setting for a formal picture? Not hardly! Just the Open House Council en mass. A hard working group and one who has really done a lot for us this year in the way of entertainment after the games. These were the kind people who saw to it that there was plenty of jazz and sweet music (in the form of the “Rhythm Rascals ) and plenty of good things to eat (also that no one got more than five helpings of the before mentioned). Three cheers for Larry, Dick, Randy, Jimmy, Betty Lou, Lee, Jackie, Franny and Dorothy!!! These particular Rascals really had Rhythm and the nice thing about it was that they were always willing to play a song and an encore at our Open House. Going to town on the front row were Harold Powell, Walton Moore, Bobby Hill and Andy Woods. Bobby Hawkins needed room, Ray Alverson waited his cue, Mr. Stryker loomed in the back- ground and E. C. Moon hit the keys. We are definitely not responsible for Tommy Watts’ appearance in this picture. The Rhythm Rascals, not including Tommy, made our fun at the Y. W. C. A. more fun and we remember them with gratitude.

All activities Or his J xganization are introduced to the homerooms by the representative for approval before any actual planning begins. If there are objections or suggestions, these are taken back before the Council to be worked over. This student organization, which meets on call of the President, promotes such projects as the filling of Red Cross boxes, the Com- munity Chest Drive, an orientation program for the incoming seventh grade students and ticket sales within the school. Also recommendations for improvement of schoolgrounds, and welfare of the students are dis- cussed. Other duties are: to grant charters to all extracurricula organizations in school, such as the Spanish Club and Science Forum, and to foster an honor system under which the students shall govern their own matters of honor. An example of this last duty is the honor study hall which was begun in November. During the last full week of April, campaigning and elections for the '50-’51 officers were held. Some of the extensive campaigning which was done was the distribution of fliers containing the candi- dates names, speeches over the loud speaker system and speeches by each candidate in a regular assembly. The officers, Raymond Perry, president; Anne Penn, vice-president; and Jackie Knick, secretary-treasurer. Ferguson, Vincent, McClung. Gooch. Scruggs, Traylor. Owen. Thompson, Bass. Bankhead, Beckham.

Summing up the purposes of the Student Council, the Constitution of this group states: The purpose of the or- ganization shall be to give the student body a voice in the affairs of the school and to create among them qualities of leadership, and to provide training in the responsibility of self-government.

It tries cases in the school involving breaches of honor and suggests a suitable punishment to be acted upon by the office. This organization consists of thirteen members and a faculty advisor. Be- sides the president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer of the Stu- dent Council, who hold the same offices in this group, there are four Seniors, four Juniors, and two Sophomores. To be eligible for the Judiciary the students must have a scholastic average of at least C and must never have been called before the group. Jones Cox, Jack Wood . John Booth. Margie Talbott.

Since 1946, ihc Cavalier has been honored by the Southern Interscholastic Press Association as one of the three top annuals among the ten states represented and in 48 it won the trophy. This was quite a reputation for the 51 staff to live up to. but everyone set diligently to work to try to achieve the highest honor for this year’s publication. Mi� Josephine Elsies (below) succeeded Miss Ethel Dodson as faculty adviser this year. In the early fall of '50 an assembly was presented lo the entire student body showing them the articles and features of the yearhook and introducing the staff members. Then a subscription campaign began in earnest. Kathryne really was busy writing all those receiptsl When the payments began slowing down, Mr. Beyea stepped in and helped secure the money from those who had signed up for the annual but had not paid. Janice and Anne Elizabeth headed two teams and each worked hard to get the most ads from merchants in Danville and the surrounding communities. This campaign began about the middle of October and continued until January the fifteenth. Many ads were secured which had not been in the Caval:er before. To raise additional money lo help meet the rising cost of publishing an annual, the staff conducted a Mr. and Miss G. W. Contest and helped the Dramatics Club sell tickets for Stage Door. Yes, this year's staff worked hard to publish an annual which would rale as well as past issues, and they hope that in the '51 Cavalier everyone will find their favorite memories which will linger with them for years to come. 22 treasure chest op souvenirs . . . During fourth period of the first semester mo t of the annual’s staff was in room 209 working on the different phases of the Cavalier. This was not an all-work-and-no-play group for there were days when there was little work to be done and on such days everyone just relaxed. And. of course, at Christinas, when all the parties were given, the Cavalier staff couldn’t be outdone. So they pro- ceeded to have a regular luncheon—sandwiches, cakes, Tru-Ades, peanuts, potato chips, pickles, candy, brownies, ice cream and a cake shaped like a Christmas tree I It not only looked good but it was rumored that it tasted mighty delicious! There was so much food that even when the staff members, plus the special guests (Miss Copeland, Mrs. Fentriss, Mr. Christopher, and Mr. Baxa) had eaten all they possibly could, there was practically enough left to have another celebration! Below is a typical scene from the Cavalier period. The staff is busily working on ads. subscriptions, write-ups, and all the other jobs connected with publishing the 1951 Cavalier. Betsy Garrett (left) and Archer Croxton (above) were co-editors of this year's annual. Mrs. Nora Payne Hill First Roto: Bam, Penn. Watson, Woody, Thompson, Terry, Schuster, Thompson, Nostrandt.

Sometimes the going was rough, but they could usually pull through, and there was always Mrs. Hill to encourage them, to keep everything going, to bear the heaviest part of the load. Since its birth in 1922, The Chatterbox has become one of the most distinguished high school newspapers in the country. Under Mrs. Hill's guidance, it has constantly maintained the highest journalistic standards, and that is quite an accomplish- ment in view of the many and varied talents which have served the paper through the years. Knowing what it had to live up to. this year’s crop of young writers worked very hard to remain on top. 24 Mi� s Rebekah Coppedge Margie Talbott Royster Lyle Pat Foley Doris Thompson Business Advisor Editor-in-Chief A deer thing Manager Circulation Manager Associate Editor To be well remembered in ihe future by any Green Duck are the hours he spent in the Pressroom, striving to release his brain children. “What’s a synonym for irresistible—why can’t I think of a headline of twenty-five units instead of twenty- nine—do you gel my meaning in that sentence—Equally unforgettable were the good times that rolled out of that room— the jokes, the clowning, the carefree fun enjoyed by the Green Ducks and by the visitors” who were always dropping in. They'll remember those Wednesday mornings when Mrs. Hill was at the printer's, and the rush of those Friday afternoons when The Chatterboxes were distributed. All staff members belong to the Press Club, whose symbol is the Green Duck. Among the functions of this club arc the sponsorship of the Bunny Girl contest and of High School Day at Herman’s, both of which provide funds for the paper. At the close of the school year, the Press Club has a banquet featuring talks by professional journalists and other guests. 25 were proa j Standing: Gravely, Bennett.

HI-Y Clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living is the platform of the Beta Hi-Y Club. Composed of twenty-five members, it meets weekly on Tuesday nights at the Y. M. C. A. The purpose of the Club is to create, main- tain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The group has been a very active organization this year. Among the projects have been the sponsorship of open houses at the Y. W. C. A. in conjunction with the Flotilla Club and the sale of magazine subscriptions to raise money for social functions. Officers this year were Jimmy Pattisall, treas- urer; Randolph Hall, vice-president; Larry Wil- son. president; and Jones Cox, secretary. These boys were chosen by popular vote of their fellow- members for leadership at the meetings and out- side activities. With the help of a committee, they decided on a bill to be proposed at the Model General Assembly meeting held in Rich- mond during April. Delegates were sent from Danville to the convention.

This year was no exception, as the group held bi-monthly meetings at the homes of its members, discussing problems in the various phases of Natural Science. This is not a club but a forum just as the title says and is composed of the outstanding students in the Science Department. Organized four years ago. the group has grown in popularity so that its membership had to be limited to eighteen last year. The sponsors this year, Mr. Thomasson and Mr. Roe sen, have had to turn down several applications for membership. 29 rea tt9 The modern idea of the study of Latin i that it is a living language in that it has taken a new form in other languages. The Latin Club promotes this thought and studies words derived from Latin. Once a month classes are dispensed with and the students as a group seek to do something to vitalize the subject. Myths are studied and field trips made. However, the big event of the year is the Roman Festival carried out in Roman style and enjoyed by all. Fini Row: Adam , Hilliard, Nottrandt. Harden. Flynn.

Scholarship is not all that membership in the National Honor Society is based on though, for, to become one of the select group, a student must demonstrate outstanding qualities of leadership, character, and service. He must be elected by the members and approved by a faculty committee. Under the guidance of Mrs. Margaret Motley, the society holds meetings during the school hours. During the year gold pins and charms with emblems of the National Honor Society were ordered for the members who desired them. This year’s Seniors received their certificates of membership in the spring. John Booth, who served as president of the society this year, was elected in the fall. Enoch Jones and Archer Croxlon were vice-president and secretary-treasurer, respectively. These three led the meetings and made arrangements for the spring party. Last year a banquet and program were held at the Green Lantern Tea Room to climax the year's activities. Such an event is a traditional affair.

The Monogram Club is an honorary society made up of students who have shown outstanding ability and excellent work in one or more of the major sports, or who have served two years as a cheerleader or manager. During the year the club sponsors the Homecoming Dance, an athletic show and publishes all of the programs for the football games. The purpose of the Club is to promote fine sportsmanship and friendly competition in athletics, uphold the rules of the school, and promote interest in sports at George Washington High School. The club officers elected to serve during the school year were Dick Adams, treasurer, Mills Rogers, secretary, Jerry Davis, vice-president, and Billy Williams, president. These boys along with George Haley and coaches El Wilson and Doug Jones, who were chosen sponsors by the members, direct the activities of the club throughout the year. Their major project this year was the drawing-up of a constitution for the club. 34 an the cic as S The National Athletic Scholastic Society for Secondary Schools was organized at George Washington in May, 1946, by Coach Gerry Quirk and Mr. Christopher. Appointed in 1947, Mr. L. G. Wilson has served as faculty advisor to the group since then. An honorary organization, it is composed of boys who must have earned a monogram in athletics, maintained an average equal to or higher than the general average of the school for three consecutive semesters, and must have shown the highest type of citizenship and sportsmanship. The aims of the society are: to foster high scholarship among athletes, to elevate the ideals of sports- manship, to stimulate a desire for balanced training, and to develop more outstanding leaders in secondary schools of the United States.

Not long afterwards Mrs. Styers had a slumber party for them and they are still talking about it. At Christmas they were the envy of every girl in school. Each one of them received a corsage which brought color and the Christmas spirit to the student body. In the spring the club had a dance and each of the girls made her own cotton dress. After school last year Jean Styers, the president, attended a convention in Harrisonburg at Madison College. She stayed four days enjoying the parties and dances and attending interest groups to learn means of improving the chapter. She brought back many helpful ideas and the club intends to send another representative this year. If you want to have a good time and learn to be a real homemaker, be sure to become a Future Homemaker of America. 30 • • • ? ... __jo in e cjo civic in a Every Junior Rotarian will look back wilh pleasure on h'.s experiences in meeting with the Rotary Club.

Mr. Christopher and Mr. Baxa selected the representatives, making their choices from all fields of school activity. Each boy attended the luncheon meeting every week for a month and was proud that he had been chosen to represent his school before the Danville Rotary Club. Standing: Jim Overbey.

The junior members of the American Association of University Women of the Danville Chapter were chosen by two of its members. Misses Oliver and Woodson. These eight senior girls are outstanding in leadership, character, scholarship, and various other activities in school life. As a university woman each attended one of the monthly meetings of the chapter. She represented the school as well as her particular activity. 37 Miss Dorothy Fitzcerald Director of Dramatic Mi� Dorothy Fitzgerald, better known to most of her students as “Mi� Fitz, is indeed among the most active teachers in our faculty. Other than her beloved dramatics, she teaches English and stage construction. During the summer vacation. Mi� Fitzgerald attends the Barter Theater conferences which are held in Abingdon. This she does because she is so interested in the productions they give. She is on the board of directors of the Little Theater group and is a member of other civic clubs. Every year she pro- duces, here at George Washington, at least three full length plays and a number of one-act plays. Among the many succe� ful plays produced by Miss Fitzgerald in recent years have been Janie, The Home of Seven Cables. Nine Cirls, Junior Mi , January Thau Miracle of the Cattle, which was written by Miss Fitzgerald herself, and numerous others. First Row: McCollum, Berry.

Students who have taken part in a three act play are also eligible for membership. The activities of the Club are many and varied. They include sponsoring at least three full-length play and a number of one act plays. They also sponsor the assembly programs. Each year they enter the district contest, oftentimes bringing home a winner. In such an event the play enter the state contest. Another group composed of dramatic students is the Thespians. They are a part of the National Thespians Dramatic Honorary Society. These students mutt meet requirements made by that body. They must lake part in actual play pro- duction or the business angle. There are at present approximately twenty members in G. W. Kneeling: Penn. Clark. Standing: Wright. Stuart. Amos. Pleasants, Jones, Parr. Sell. Matney.

Doug Robertson or George Lavinder. They know. These boys were often seen hammering away on a large portion of the stage sets. There they are working on the set for “Stage Door. the first three-act play of the year. Those steps were kind of hard to build, weren’t they, boys? “Skater's Waltz? Well, it could easily be called so. Each year a special assembly program is pre- pared and presented on the day we get out for the Christmas holidays. One of this year's chief attrac- tions was this post card scene of Joan Allen and Carson Womack as they pause just before a spin around the lake. According to tradition, every Christmas the scenes from the Nativity are given in one of several forms. Sometimes they are part of a play and other times they are in tableau form. One of the most beauti- ful of all, the Manger Scene, is shown here. Mary and Joseph are Norma Putze and David Sell; the angels. Frances Barber and Shirley Wyatt. New to our school but not to stage work was Sam Greene, who was caught here as he pointed out a few technical details to Big and Lillie Mary. (Trudy Castor and Nancy Reynolds). These two were responsible for a large part of the laughs which came from Stage Door.” Their very names, exactly opposite to what they should have been, were in- dicative of the comedy found in the play. 40 First Roic: Lnura Ann Jonr� , Carolyn Schwem, F.velyn Dots, Ovella Hardy, Mi Walton, ponior.

You do not have to be a Rembrandt to be in this class, for under the capable guidance of Miss Walton, the less fortunate ones, as well as the talented, are taught to draw. Upon entering the class, the students start with pencils and work up to oils. Their work is put on exhibition in the art room, main hall, and at some downtown stores. In school you may find art students doing work with the Chatterbox and CAVALIER, on stage sets, and on posters which add interest to many school activities. Last year the Danville schools had an exhibition of arts and handicraft at the Nature Center. George Washington students contributed some works of fine art and, as plans are being made for a similar show- ing this year, all the students have been hard at work on their favorite form of art. One of the most popular is still life, drawn either in pastels or water colors. In the summer of ’50 Belk-Leggett Company sponsored a Young Artists Club. The members placed an exhibit of their work in the store. Of the sixteen members all but two had been art students at George Washington. 41 Our voiced ride . . The Glee Club of George Wash- ington High, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Oliver, is one of the most active groups in school. The voices of these boys and girls play an important part in most of the programs given at G. W. and many of those at the City Auditorium. Throughout the entire school year the group has given programs consisting of both sacred and secular music for many Danville Clubs and other organ'zations both in and out of school. One of the most outstanding events of all the group’s activities is the State's Fifth-District Contest held during the spring. The Glee Club first entered these contests in 1938 when it was being held in Richmond, and the singers have always received high rat- ings. In 1942, the group sang at the Mosque Theater in Richmond. Their months of hard work were greatly re- warded for the five entries made by the group received five superior ratings, the highest award possible to music groups in Virginia. It was that same year that the Club was called the best high school glee club in the State and was invited to New York by Dr. Peter J. Wilhousky to sing on the Walter Damrosch program over the N.B.C. Network. In 1943, these contests were temporarily discontinued because of the War, but, in 1946, they were resumed and the George Washington Glee Club has entered every year since then, each time returning home with high ratings for a class A group. In addition to their cuttomary program� at Christmas time, the George Washington Glee Club has presented the Christ- mas music from Handel’s ’’Messiah for the past two years. Last year it was given at the First Baptist Church and this year at the City Auditorium. It was an ambitious undertaking for them, as it is seldom done by anyone but an adult choir, but they sang it with the reverent care due this masterwork. Soloists for this year's performance included Charlene Lynch, alto. Jeanne Nostrandt, soprano, and E. C. Moon, tenor, all of the present Glee Club; Anne Swain, alto, Ray Alverson, tenor, and John Foster, bass, G. W. alumni. Miss Elizabeth Oliver, choral conductor and teacher of music at G. W., was formerly Supervisor of Music at Schoolfield, Virginia. She holds a B.S. and a M.A. degree from New York University. She also studied at the University of Virginia where she was student instructor. During the summers of 1947 and 1948, she was music instructor at Massanetta, the State music camp. Miss Oliver is a member of the boards of both the Dan- ville Civic Music Association and the Virginia Music Educators Association. She is also a member of the Music Educators National Conference, the American Association of University Women, The Danville Music Study Club, Delta Kappa Gamma, and Phi Lambda Theta sororities. She is organist and choir director at West End Christian Church. 44 OLu added co (or to festiuiti e5 . . . The George Washington High School Band, numbering about a hundred members, has made re- markable advancement in its one year of existence. Led by an excellent director, Mr. Eugene Stryker, the band plays at the beginning and end of assembly programs and gave immeasurable support to the morale of the team during the football season. It has also learned the new Alma Mater song written by Johnny Viccellio. Mr. Stryker received his B.M. degree from Syracuse University and came here after doing graduate work at the University of North Carolina. He is also in charge of band instruction at Woodrow Wilson Junior High School. His was a different task, as there had been no band instruction in the school for many years. However, before the end of last year the band was able to give a creditable performance. The members continue to improve monthly. Bobby Hawkins, trumpet, Bobby Hill, Andy Woods and Walton Moore, saxophone, and Jeann; Justice, flute, are some of the more talented and experienced mem- bers. As an outgrowth of their band work, the four boys above, along with several others have formed a small orchestra known as the Rhythm Rascals.” Two civic organizations have won our thanks for their efforts in our behalf. The Rotary Club raised the money for the instruments and the Lions are going to provide the band with uniforms. With so much enthusiasm among our Danville citizens, with such an able instructor and with the willingness of the stu- dents to give time not required to gain credit for the course, we will certainly have the best band in the State before long. This year’s Military Corps of George Washington, though smaller than ever before, is a good ex- ample of well-trained men. With L. G. Wilson taking over the commandant position, in replacement for Vaughn C. Woodall, the Cadet Corps continues to b: an outstanding unit. First in command this year is Captain Jim Overbey. Jim has been in the military corps several years and has been one of its most efficient members. Second in command is First Lieutenant Donald Dudley, also a fine leader. The corps, con- sisting of about forty-three members, or one platoon, has been studying new warfare tactics. They will make good use of these on their spring maneuvers, held annually at Park Springs. The military corps has continued to be of service to the students. Each member who is not an officer, has to stand guard duty at one of the several posts throughout the school. This is done to keep a reasonable amount of order for the students in classes while others are at lunch. No one at G. W. is required to take military, but many boys have found this phase of their high school training to be very advantageous in their future lives.

The good conduci of G. W.’s student body was in part due to the honorary organization known as the Washingtonians. Principal J. T. Christopher was again sponsor as in the previous years. His interest, plus the initiative of this select group, gave George Washington a reliable body of good conduct enforcers. Their work, though sometimes unpleasant, was done to the best of their ability with the student body always the beneficiary. By the pleased look on these scholars faces, one can see that they certainly enjoy their books—so much that they have stayed at G. W. overtime to form the SEVEN-YEAR CLUB. Finl Row: Holland.

This year the Photography Club, having been enlarged to twenty-five members, was more active than it had been in several years. Under their new advisor, Mr. Roesen, the club rose to heights above just the taking and developing of pictures. From the Kodak Company slides and lectures were obtained. These were presented at the semi-monthly meetings. The Club' s purpose is solely to promote and increase the knowledge and interest in photography. A com- mittee was appointed to move the dark room from the overcrowded corner of 21 1 to a more convenient and practical room in the laboratory. Having elected of- ficers at a meeting of the four old members, the club began admitting members whom they thought were interested and sincere. Frank Barnes headed the or- ganization this year with Janice Wrenn as the vice- president. Royster Lyle was appointed business man- ager.

Barbara Ann Cress A llenJanl Anne Elizabeth Penn Queen Margie Talbott A llenJanl crouun if on C ueen ji omecomincf cc This was the beginning of ihf Homecoming Parade, one of many lhat made all Danville realize that George Washington students were back of their team. It was always a gala event when every type of auto, gaily decorated and led by a police car, traveled the streets of Danville and Schoolfield, making loud rackets. Everyone held his breath on lhat Friday night, as he waited in suspense for her majesty and her attendants to enter League Park. As they rode across the field in shiny convertible, an uproar of applause arose for arbara. Anne Elizabeth, and Margie. Our next two scenes were vastly dif- ferent. In the biting cold our boys played well against an extremely strong Roanoke team. It was a good game and Saturday night the grand march was on in a beautifully decorated gym. Each girl and her escort were an- nounced as they met to pass between the goal posts. Finally these Monogram Club members and their dates had formed a lane to welcome their presi- dent and the queen they had chosen by secret ballot. The climax of the Homecoming weekend was the crowning of Queen Homecoming XIII, lovely Anne Elizabeth Penn. She was led to the throne by Mono- gram Club president Billy Williams and crowned by Coach W. E. Wilson. On either side stood her at- tendants, Margie Talbott, escorted by Mills Rogers, and Barbara Cress, escorted by Jerry Davis. After a no- break dance by club members everyone joined in that highlight dance of '50. Our education was weil rounded. . . Il was the last period of the day and we were all so tired, but Miss Brown insisted that exercise was the best muscle builder. (What are we going to do when we get them?) Led by Captains Wanda Dunlap. Jayne Holt, Mary Fran- ces Powers, and Frances Brown, we cut a pretty figure, we and our shadows, that is. For the most part we did our push-ups together, but there were always a few lagging behind. By the end of the year we. the weaker sex were ready for professional football. Huh, gals? We've got that fighting spirit, we will win! The Roanoke game found us a little lacking on the scoring end. but right at the top in spirit. At our Homecoming Game the boys really put up a fight. Here Jerry Davis, that mass of arms and legs in the foreground, joined with Number 50, known as Mills Rogers, and Wilson Newell, Number 22, to see it through. Wilson made good on his lone try to score and we closed the game at 27 to 7. Forward march! Hup. two. three, four . . . The old familiar words drift back to us from the marching grounds of the George Washington Military Corps—namely, the athletic field. The Corps was a compact unit of boys trained in discipline, courtesy to officers, the manual of arms, and drill perfection. They would be fully prepared in time of need to defend their country. Among the many duties of the group, one of the most important was guarding restricted areas during lunch. The big event of the year was maneuvers when the boys took it like men for a couple of days. This year for the first time they also had target practice. 52 SPORTS D, eam !. 3i9kt!! Fini Rote: OvcIU Hardy. Anne Garrett Penn. Margie Talbott. Alayne Walton, Louite Howard.

Starting a new season under the leadership of coach El Wilson and his assistant. Bill Harding, George Washington again used the T-formation and witnessed a comparatively successful season, finish- ing with a record of 4-5-1. George Washington opened its grid campaign in Charlottesville, losing a hard fought game in the last minutes, 1 3-7. Jerry Davis ran over from Lane’s 5 yard line to tie the game. A Newell to Rogers pass put the Redbirds ahead 7-6. Later, Lane recovered a G. W. fumble and went on to win. At League Park, to start the home schedule, Danville racked up a 14-13 win over highly favored Salem. Touchdowns by Overbey and Williams and Newell’s perfect placements provided the Cards with their first conference win in three years. Co-captain Ed Wrenn led the hard-charging line that kept Salem in their own territory throughout the game. In Newport News the Redbirds were able to match the Typhoon attack in every department except passing. Davis crashed over for the lone touchdown. Davis, Rogers, and Haley consistently went through the Typhoon line for yardage. Back home, George Washington faced a “fired-up Schoolfield eleven, which held Danville for the first half. In the second half, the Cardinals settled down and emerged with a 7-0 victory. Lynch, Nunn, Turner, and Lavinder shone on the line, while Rogers, Adams, and Davis stood out in the backfield. For Newell, it was a fifth straight conversion. Journeying to Lynchburg, the Redbirds met the unbeaten Glass eleven, paced by Jimmy Wade s two touchdowns in the first three quarters. Power was the deciding factor in the 19-0 defeat. The Cardinals began the last half of their season at Martinsville. With the Bulldogs matching Dan- ville’s ground attack with good passing, they held the score to a 6-6 deadlock. On the line Lynch and Parr were outstanding, along with Overbey, who scored the G. W. touchdown. Haley and Davis led the Redbird ground attack, while Williams was averaging 34 yards per punt. 55 h arcl- ixjh tin a unit First Roic: Roy (cr. Adam� . Overbey. Haley. Lynch.

The Cardinal eleven scored on drives of 64, 52, and 49 yards. Two intercepted passes and a recovered fumble led to the other three scores. Haley bulled his way for two tallies. De- ceptive Mills Rogers equalled that mark, and Belton and Setliff each collected a six-pointer. Wilson Newell kicked three conversions and ran for a fourth. Wrenn, Cox, Lynch, Nunn, and Perry were the workhorses on the line. Appearing before a large Homecoming crowd, the Redbirds were able to score only once against a powerful Roanoke team. George Haley tallied the lone G. W. touchdown as the Cardinals went down in a 27-7 defeat. Offensively, George Washington was able to move the ball well in the middle of the field, while the attack bogged down as it approached the goal line. Sparking the line were Parr, Overbey, and Lavinder, while Haley, Rogers, and Davis worked in the backfield. At Kiker Stadium, when the Cardinals met the Reidsville Lions, the fans witnessed some poor offici- ating. After several attempts by George Washington for a goal, George Haley finally ran one over that could not be called back. The Cardinals led in every department except scoring, which was I 3-6. Over- bey, Lynch, and Royster starred on the line, while it was Haley and Belton in the backfield. Traveling to Portsmouth. George Washington ended their grid season with a 20-13 victory over Craddock High. The winning touchdown was set up by an oddity that might well claim Virginia’s foot- ball freak of the year. As G. W. was kicking off after the tying touchdown, a big gust of wind caught the ball, carrying it back toward the Danville players. Overbey caught the ball and the officials ruled it an on-sides kick, giving G. W. possession of the ball. Rogers, Haley, and Davis, the latter two scoring the touchdowns, continued their outstanding play in the backfield. Nunn, Lynch, and Royster sparked the line. 56 Second Rou:: Keck. Fulton.

The fans and students in Danville were not only proud of the football team, but also proud of George Haley for being selected for a position on the All-Western and All-State teams. We were sure that he deserved this honor and were glad to find that the authorities agreed with us. In the schedule for 51 will be three new teams for George Washington to tackle. Leaving the schedule will be Schoolfield, South Boston, and Craddock. Hamp- ton, Mount Vernon, and Glen Allen will replace them.

Coach A1 Mathes built the team into one of the powerhouses of the State. As this publication went to press the record for this year was 1 3-4 with games still to be played with Burlington and Lynchburg to decide the district cham- pionship. Winning eight of eleven non-district games and five of their six district games, the Redbirds won an invitation to the annual State Tournament, held this year in Norfolk, March 8, 9, 10. The Greensboro Whirlies was the only team to de- feat the Cardinals twice in regular season play. G. W. owns double victories over Salem, Roanoke, South Boston, Schoolfield, Martinsville, and Reidsville. They split two games with the Lynchburg Hiihoppers, losing by a 50-38 score in Lynchburg and coming back to score a 53-43 victory at the City Armory. Burlington owns a four point victory over the Redbirds in their only meeting this year. Coach Mathes built this year’s team around Captain 61 A-John Woods, B-John Booth, C-Mickey Crawford, D-Bill Bolton, E-Carragher Henderson, F-Wilson Newell, G-Roy Holland.

Showing marked improvement as the season progressed, these boys scored 40 more points in their eighth game than in the first. John Booth. Jimmy Leonard. Woodrow LaPrade, Sam Worley. Andy Woods. Raymond Woody, and Jimmy Turner were capable reserves on which Coach Mathes could rely as replacements. Finding a replacement for Bolton will be the prime worry of Coach Mathes for next year’s team. Bolton, Booth, and Leonard are the only members who will not be returning for the '51 -’52 squad.

Captain George Snead paced last year’s team without dropping a match in high school competition. Other members of the team were Billy Anderson. Courtenay Harrison. Joe Reynolds. Gordon Woody. Mills Rogers. Charlie Riddle and John Luther. Snead. Harrison, Reynolds, and Rogers will be the only players returning for play in 51. Their return makes George Washington a favorable contender for the State championship now held by Thomas Jefferson of Richmond. Doug Jones will again coach the racqueteers. Last year in the State tennis tournament. Captain Snead and Harrison entered from Danville, the former playing singles and teaming with the latter for doubles. Six boys were awarded letters for their outstanding work on the team. Those receiving letters were Snead, Anderson, Harrison, Reynolds, Woody, and Rogers. Snead was elected by his teammates as the most valuable player and also as captain for the second consecutive year. On the tennis schedule this spring are U. N. C. Freshmen. Raleigh. N. C; Lynchburg. Roanoke. Martinsville, N. C. State Freshmen, Oak Ridge and Hargrave. Front Row: Courtenay Harrison, Joe Reynold . Bill Ander on. Back Row: Coach Jone , George Snead, Mill Rogers, Charlct Riddle. Absent when picture was taken: Gordon Woody. 67 all was not worh . The bright smiling face� of the Junior High students show the general mood that lunch period brought. After a mad ru� h through the hall , there wa always plenty of time to rest while waiting to pay for the food. Catherine Carter seemed pretty well perturbed about something. When asked what it was. she said that she wasn’t sure she would ever get to eat at the slow rate the line was moving. Dicky Guyer called out from the end, What about me? Five minutes to go. fellers I Time for a couple more puffs. Donald's car made a good gathering place. It must have been pretty windy with all the trouble Joe is having giving Mr. Perk a light. Big shots. Lindy Vicks and Eugene Holland, practiced on cigars. They want to know how to do it casually when they become executives. R. J. and Johnny showed off their skill at blowing smoke rings while Bill’s and Ashby’s smiles proved that they satisfy.” We had nothing to do but loaf—that is. until the bell rang. These were the times that made us appreciate school. We would gather under the trees for all the latest news. Betsy Garrett was telling it to the boys. Bill Bolton and Richard Crowder. There was that twosome. Doris Thompson and Earle Garrett, just as interested in each other as if they hadn’t been together for weeks. Barbara Green and Courtenay Harrison were making with serious talk, while Anne Penn told Kathrync Richmond a choice bit. We always expected Jimmy Overbey to listen to Anne, but when anybody got Johnny Viccellio’s attention that was news. 08 SENIORS SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD Mr. Baxa, Billy Williams, Georg? Snead, Jimmy Leonard, Frances Brown, Barbara Jean Gay, John Booth. Jimmy Overbey, Joan Smith. 77 First as Freshmen, shy and meek. Through those fears of our first week; Lots of smiles for every tear. Lots of things to learn that year. Second year we’re Sophomores. Not so studious as before; Always busy having fun. Working only on the run. We were Juniors ere we thought Seriously of what we ought: Why we’re here, what good it'll do. How to work to get us through. Seniors then before we knew; Just one more year in which to do Every little extra thing Senior ’’privileges’’ did bring. Time has come to graduate. Who would think it was so late; Out we go to face mankind. Leaving smiles and tears behind. Some of us will make a hit. Others near a desk will sit; But often we will think of school As a friendship, not a tool. 70 David Sell SENIOR OFFICERS Jimmy Leonard Secretary-T reasurer Mary Frances Brown Vice-President Jim Overbey President SENIOR SPONSORS Mist Walton, Mi Jone , Mr. Clark, Min McElrath, Mi� � Matthew .

Our big brave military boy were at it again. Yep, you guessed it—guarding the hall of G. W. from all tho� e eager beaver who wanted to get back to their respective classes so-o-o badly they just couldn’t wait until the bell rang. With all that military posture. I’ll bet their back hurt and their feet felt like they were glued to the spot, but Donald and Onico say that it’s no worse than English and Chemistry. Donald is an officer, but he was doubling for a de- linquent on this day. Say, Miss McElrath. this machine must be broken! cried Betty Scearce. Whatever gave you that idea? Well. replied Betty. I added these number you gave us and then added them on the machine and they just didn't come out the same. Miss McElrath told us that this was a common complaint, but we couldn't decide which was wrong or should we say who? Ray- mond and Lottie looked a little worried too. We used to have more fun in biology—just cut-up all the time. It was fun as long a Mr. Jones did the cutting for then there was no upping. Barbara Klatf and Johnny Moore were the interested onlookers at the moment and our four- legged friend, the frog, was the innocent victim. It wasn't long before we saw what made him tick and learned about all those systems, respiratory, pulmonary, etc. We really felt we had learned something when this was over even though most of us wouldn’t exactly name it as our most thrilling experience. We only tell you youngsters that you d be surprised how much you still have to learn.

Jackson. but h ow we enjoy It was fun to get away from school even if we just went to the water plant. Miss Reynolds in- sisted on instructing after we yelled. Oh. do we drink this stuff. when we saw the first stage of purifying. Nobody fell in but you can see how close a few came. There was always somebody who brought her books as Betty Dunlap. Just in case a picture was taken, she might impress her teachers. Now. this was another story. We were away with no bells, no teachers and enough money for the Works. Saturday night found us at the Dairy Queen. Betty Bruce was enjoying Ray- mond's wisecracks as always, but how did Pat get in on it? Look at the others: Donna, Anne Elizabeth and George loved that food. Mills and Royster entertained, Kathryne. Joann. Nancy and Betsy put on the charm. Suzanne and Ray- mond were as usual, and Mary Ida seemed lost in the background. This time we really took off—all the way to Lynchburg. Mr. and Mrs. Parr were such good chaperones that they guarded us from the bus door while Ernie took our picture. Johnny. Margie and Louise were right there to lead the yells and Mac helped when he got away from Joyce. 1 bet Anne Watkins would have remembered to bring the banner if she hadn’t been afraid she’d miss that charming pose. Louis Goodman decided he would be better seen if he stooped, and you can see how anxious some people were. Anne Penn had to be held so she wouldn’t fall out the window. It is rumored she was humming, “I’ll Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair. Whether we won or lost, the trips were fun and our opponents knew that we were with the team, all the way there and back—including slop after stop for food. 110 ADS Work! Work! was our battle cry as we began our search for ads. The searching party walked from one end of town to the other, and also continued on out of the city limits. Our search was rewarded by making many new friends and getting lots and lots of ads. The energetic young people labored from morning ’til night. Many nights found them soaking their swollen feet in hot water and trying to get their voices back. But they were always ready to start again the next day. Although many merchants were hard to sell, they were no match for our quick thinking, fast talking advertising squad. They often ended up by buying a full page ad. Our advertising squad finally sold about 1 75 ads, which shows how many nice people there are in Danville who are willing to help the Cavalier be a big success. Janice Wrenn as the advertising manager was captain of one team which was composed of: Mary Ida Nelson, Annie Laurie Motley, Bobby Wilmarth, John Booth. Peggy Hilliard, Gloria Hanks, Harold Cloutier, Sam Kent. Sam Hairston, and Frances Barber. Anne Elizabeth Penn, assistant advertising manager, had a team composed of: Kathryne Richmond, Mills Rogers, Betsy Garrett, Betty Bruce Daniels, Anne Watkins, Bobby Green, Donna Kirk, Sarah Stembridge, and Henry Walker. Donna Jean Kirk, who was on Anne Elizabeth’s team sold more ads than anyone else. She was a great worker and everyone is really proud of her. Anne Penn’s team won by selling the most ads. They were all hard workers and it surely showed up in the end. Janice Wrenn’s team came in for a close second and with a few more ads it would have been a tie. A few of the members of the advertising squad wrote to some out of town firms and got several ads that way. It all goes to show that not only are the people in Danville willing to support the Cavalier, but there are plenty of out of town folks willing to help, too. 118 HITCHCOCK STUDIO MARGIE TALBOTT We had the pleasure of taking the pictures for The Cavalier this year. Phone 1835 427 Main Street 119 Congratulations to the Class of '51 BARBARA CRESS Danville's Shopping Center 120 L. R. WYATT, President C. C. FINCH, Manager Home Economics Exhibit ot the Danville Fair See the Exhibits at the 1951 Fair—September 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 DANVILLE FAIR ASSOCIATION A Andrew, if I should not sec you again I wish you to remember and treasure up some things I have already said to you: In this world you will have to make your own way. To do that you must have friends. You can make friends by being honest, and you can keep them by being steadfast. You must keep in mind that friends worth having will in the long run expect as much from you as they give to you. To forget an obligation or be ungrateful for a kindness is a bose crime—not merely a fault or a sin but an actual crime. Men guilty of it sooner or later must suffer the penalty. In personal conduct be always polite, but never obsequious. No one will respect you more than you esteem yourself. Avoid quarrels as long as you can with- out yielding to imposition. But sustain your manhood always. Never bring a suit at law for assault and battery or for defamation. The law affords no remedy for such outrages that can satisfy the feelings of a true man. Ne cr wound the feelings of others. Never brook wanton outrage upon your own feelings. If ever you have to vindicate your feelings or defend your honor do it calmly. If angry ot first, wait till your wrath cools before you proceed. Andrew Jacksons last letter from his mother—written over 100 years ago, this simple homespun bit of Americana expresses solid truths for all of us in any day and age.
