Nothing like good literature (especially the day before book reports) say Patsy and Ray, as long as Miss Johns is there to disperse the well- worn volumes. With special stress on form in archery Dorothy and Nina Jean seem to be well on the way to showing Robin Hood a thing or two. ■{iiy an cl iecirned Friends, Romans and class- mates.” In public speaking the class is subjected to all kinds of speeches. Here Bobby seems to have the rapt attention of his fellow stu- dents. Our outstanding maestros of the French horn, Jimmy Fleming, and of the Tuba, Sir Doug Biggs, discuss changes in a musical arrange- ment with Mr. Stryker. Democracy prevails in Miss Jones’ class as President Jerry consults Bulletin Board Chairman Williams and Sec- retary Eugene about the pro- gram for the day. Under the able guidance of Mrs. Robertson, Joyce Ma- haffey is absorbed in the results of her vocational interest tests, but surely it can’t be as bad as their ex- pressions indicate. 73 !- tfiai . . . Seamstresses of the finest quality, Tamsey Almond and Corrine Lynch, display their handwork. Ready to open up shop, girls? In math class everyone stays busy. Barbara Sue Johnson and Donald Richardson are sticking to the straight and narrow but what about Patsy Wrenn and Bill Overcash? Watch the buggie ! Barbara just can’t stipple the amoeba in the right place but David and Shirley seem to be mak- ing much better progress.

Charity drives such as the Community Chest, Red Cross and the March of Dimes are conducted with homerooms competing against each other. Daily results are posted in clever bulletin board displays in the main hall and the homeroom contributing the most is given special recognition. A tacky” dance was sponsored to benefit the March of Dimes with an admission of ten cents per twenty-five pounds charged. Another function of the Student Council is the orientation of new students. They are shown around the building, entertained with a skit, and given an explanation of the various courses offered. To discuss Student Council duties and activities and bring back new ideas, George Washington sent President Gene Powell, Pete Browning, Esther Alfriend and Anne Garrett to the annual convention of the Southern Association of Student Councils in El Paso, Texas. Delegates also attended the state meeting in Radford. The Student Council played host to the Danville District composed of several .surrounding counties. On November 25 two hundred twenty-four delegates talked over the various problems and phases of Student Council work. The Student Council operates freely, on its own ingenuity, and seeks to express the wishes of the stu- dent body to the administration. an JtL eSe apijointecl to jucli ae. 1 Mr. Tom Houser Gene Powell Adviser President JUDICIARY Playing an important part in the student govern- ment at George Washington is the Judiciary. It tries cases which involve any dishonest practices. After reaching a verdict in such cases, the body suggests a suitable punishment to the principal. Four seniors, four juniors and two sophomores, plus the three Stu- dent Council officers make up the organization. To be eligible for the Judiciary the students must have a scholastic average not below eighty and must never have been called before the group for any reason.

S. P. A. and S. I. P. A. contests, and last year it was rated first in the state. To continue the good work, this year’s staff worked diligently to capture the true Cava- lier spirit and record forever the wonderful experiences of our high school days. In the fall of ’53 an assembly program informed the student body of the many fea- tures of the yearbook and launched our sub- scription campaign. The advertising staff began its rewarding work and the Danville merchants responded generously. To raise additional finances to meet the rising cost of publication, we sponsored the Mr. and Miss G. W. contest. It is our sincere hope that every student will find the ’54 Cavalier a bigger and better treasure chest of memories than ever before.

The Cavalier picnic at Wildwood in May ended the wonderful times of the ’54 staff but the book itself contains memories long to be cherished. 81 b First row: Janey Lea Hardy, Nanq Spearman, Rachael Rosenberg, president, Sue Brown Second row: Anne McClung, Joanna Crawford, Carolyn Wells, Patsy Kinser, Alice Jo Barker Third row: Sue Hylton, Gary Moore, Kit Whitehurst, Joanne Seay, Frances Bell, Anne Garrett Fourth row: Walter McMann.

They strive to develop more musical interest in the community and at school. Among the most active clubs at G. W., the Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Oliver, is called on to sing in assembly on numerous occasions. Also, it has appeared before many Danville clubs and organiza- tions. We can attribute much of the club’s success this year to the addition of many members of the Glee Club from Schoolfield High School. The club’s activity is not limited just to the school term. It continues during the summer vacation for those who attend the music festivals throughout the state.

In 1947 Mr. L. G. Wilson was appointed faculty adviser for the organization. An honorary organization, it is com- posed o f boys who have earned at least one monogram in varsity sports, main- tained the average of the school for three consecutive semesters and shown the highest qualities of citizenship and sports- manship. The purposes of the society are to de- velop more outstanding leaders, to pro- mote better scholastic records among ath- letes, and to develop the standards of sportsmanship by setting good examples for others. dlOOl- Red Goodman, Charles Buck, Jim Melvin, William Payne, Henry Robinson, Bobby Crawford, Sonny Buck Hundley, Bobby Sizer, Bobby Francis; Second row: Travis Patterson, Dickie Douglas, Herman Selig Kingoff, Calvin Fowler, Clarence Gross, Jim Gravely, Richard Fitts, Sam Worley, Jack Barnett, Jack Thomas, D. G. Carter MONOGRAM CLUB The Monogram Club at George Washington is an honorary society made up of stu- dents who have shown outstanding ability in one or more major sports. Cheerleaders and managers who have served for two years are also awarded a monogram. When a student receives a G. W. monogram, he is automatically eligible for admission to the organiza- tion, but the decision is up to him. The most fun is had by old members at the initiation in the fall and the picnic in the spring. The initiation follows the football season when the boys are awarded mono- grams. It usually consists of a scavenger hunt, which results in fun for both old and new members. Also the new members are required to pick up bottles after basketball games. The most important event for the Monogram Club is Homecoming. The boys are in charge of the bonfire activities, printing and selling of programs at the game on Friday, and the dance on Saturday. Each year a girl from the senior class is selected to reign as homecoming queen and two others are elected as attendants. Their identities are kept a secret until the night of the game. Then there are plans to be made for the dance on Saturday night when the queen is crowned by the president of the Monogram Club. 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 sjx)rts at George Washington High School. They have a great deal of influence on the student body and try to use it to the very best advantage. -! 101 j First row: Bobby Patterson, Janey Lea Hardy, James Ingram, Margaret Phinizy, James Hart Second rule: Shirley Adkins, Carol E ans, Evelyn Vincent, Barbara McMann, Peggy Spicer, Nancy Spearman, Shirley Johnson an cl the Ljueed Left to right: Carol Johnson, George Rucker Penn, Pat Browder, Sandra Porter, Kenneth Price, Sylvia Bragg f 102 !

Pryor Millner and Jack Thomas tallied for G. W. but both attempted conversions were wide and Andrew Lewis won 13-12. Returning home for the second game, G. W. tied William Fleming 14-14. Fleming was ahead 14-0 at the half, then the Cardinals came back with Larry Brooks and Thomas accounting for the touchdowns. Again the Cardinals left home, this time to go to Covington where they ran up a score of 20-0 at half-time with the final score 20-13. Next the G. W. boys met the highly favored Glass team. The tables were turned in this game when five out of seven attempted passes by Glass were intercepted with two resulting in touchdowns. The final score was 13-0. This was the annual Shrine Game and was the most elaborate of the season with the many different Shrine groups playing and parading. It was also in this game that G. W. lost one of its starting lineup for the rest of the season when end Jack Taylor broke his leg. i 104)- Hill, Hut Vass, AI Bailey; Second row: Billy Bryant, Buck Hundley, D. G.

First, they swamped Roxboro 35-6 with Thomas scoring 18 of the points. The second .string saw a great deal of action in this game. Mar- tinsville was next on the Big Red team’s list with Thomas and Brooks sharing honors for the 21-7 victory although Brooks was out of the latter part of the game after the loss of a front tooth. It was against Mount Vernon that G. W. suffered its second defeat of the season 0-12. Homecoming brought a large crowd to League Park to see the Cards edge out Roanoke 21-20. One of the outstanding plays was a running pass from Buck Hundley to James Seamster for a touchdown. The victory made the Homecoming week-end a glorious one. Charlottesville was next on the Cards list with Thomas scoring the only touchdown. The kick was not good and G. W. defeated Lane 6-0. Before the game Thomas hurt his leg and was in for only a few plays. The last game of the season brought Hopewell here for the Thanksgiving tilt. Neither of our con- versions was good and Hopewell won 13-12. Honors were bestowed on G. W. when Calvin Fowler and Jack Thomas were chosen on the All Western- District and All State teams. Jack was captain of the All State team and also placed on the All Southern team. Calvin was voted the most valuable player by his teammates and received the trophy from Coach Wilson. The entire season was a good one and the Cards tied with Jefferson of Roanoke for the Western- District Championship. In an assembly December 18, the following boys received monograms for the ’53 sea.son: Calvin Fowler, Sonny Kingoff, Gene Powell, David Allen, Charles Buck, Jim Gravely, Kenneth Payne, Bobby Sizer, Bill Roberts, Larry Brooks, D.

Baby Cardinals under the leader- ship of Coach Larry Paladino had a highly suc- cessful year with five wins and one loss. Most of the success was due to practicing with the varsity from w ' hich they learned many of the finer points of the game. The outstanding game of the season was with Martinsville with Lewis, Pruitt, Hawker, Chaney and Clifton sho,wing good prospects for the varsity next season. The mule train,” Leon Lewis, led the Jay- vccs in touchdowns in the past season with forty-eight points. Outstanding on the line were Kinser and Turner at guard; Stone and Craw- ford at tackle; Grow and Wilmouth at end and Moore at center. Reserves that saw action were Cheek, Towler, Tickle, Eggleston and Norman. The teams that the baby Cards were victor- ious over were Reidsville, in two games, highly favored Lynchburg, Helena and Martinsville. They suffered one defeat by the latter.

Standing: Jimmy Woody, Jackie Phillips, Sam Worley, Jimmy Seamster, Jack Barnett, Richard Fitts, Van Holton, Coach A1 Mathes Kneeling: Dickie Douglas, Pryor Millner, Nelson Link, Bobby Hill, Lawrence Brooks, Leon Hawker The G. W. Cardinals had another very successful campaign this year under the direction of Coach A1 Mathes. The outstanding game of the season was the 52-38 upset over highly favored E. C. Glass on our home court. However, E. C. Glass, seeking revenge, edged out G. W. in a close defensive game by a basket in the last two seconds of the return game, 29-27. With the consolidation of G. W. and Schoolfield, Coach Mathes built the team into one of the fore- most teams of the Western District. James Seamster, Jackie Phillips, Dickie Douglas, Sam Worley and Pryor Millner were the starting five with Richard Fitts, Nelson Link, Larry Brooks, Jack Barnett, Bobby Hill, Van Holton and Leon Hawker making up the remainder of the squad. As this publication goes to press both Seamster and Worley have scored more than 200 points apiece and each of the remaining three of the starting five has topped the 100 point mark. Next year, due to graduation, the Gagers will lose the skill of Big Sam” Worley, James Seamster, Dickie Douglas and Richard Fitts.

JUNIOR VARSITY SQUAD The Junior Varsity Squad, coached by Larry Paladino, proved that teamwork is the key to success. They were able to rack up double wins over Roxboro, Halifax and Hope- well. Their most satisfactory game was when they edged out the Martinsville JV’s. This team had gone undefeated for four years. The big crowds led by the energetic Junior Varsity cheerleaders did much to boost the morale of the team. Our coaches are confident that next year the work of these boys will increase the chances for a championship team. The .starting line for the young Cardinals were Haymore and Crawford at guard, Chaney and Matthew ' s as for- wards and Cheek at center. Leading the scoring for the Baby Cards were David Crawford and Bobby Cheek, with Richard Haymore showing outstanding ability at handling the ball. Maury Matthews was chosen captain for the season before the final game. A large number of boys went out for the squad, providing more and better reserves. ■{ 112b First roll’: Jim Gravely, Jack Thomas, Roy Upchurch, Jimmy Melvin, Wayne Scearce, Calvin Fowler, Bill Hall, Jack Taylor Second row: Charles Buck.

With the Western District Championship to their credit, the Redbirds entered the State Tournament after school had closed in June. Although they lost their first game, the Cardinals settled down to take the remainder of their contests and, for the first time in many seasons, brought home the mythical award. After winning the deciding game 1-0, Charlie Smiley, G. W.’s ace hurler, was considered by a major league scout, but nothing is definite because they are not allowed to offer a contract until a boy graduates. Expected to measure highly in the coming season are Charlie Smiley, Stanley Adkins, Charlie Hub- bard, and Buck Hundley on the mound; Jackie Phillips, Dickie Douglas, Leon Hawker, Larry Brooks, and Sonny Williams in the infield; Gene Parker, David Shultz, Richard Fitts, and Charlie Smiley in the outfield. A captain will not be chosen until the season opens. Just as in past years. Lefty Wilson has continued his fine job as coach of the baseball team. His ability to bring out the best in his players has been rewarded time after time by the fine showing of his teams. His skill is respected by his opponents throughout the state as he has piloted many teams to victory. Undoubtedly, this was G. W.’s finest season in many years as to the state record. However, in ’51 they had an undefeated year but no state meeting was held. We congratulate you, players and coach! -! 115f 1. Jimmy Flippen 2. Ray Johnson 3. Raymond Mustain 4. Tommy Munford 5.

From these girls officers are elected to serve at the head of the council. Each girl in George Washington who par- ticipates in at least one of the intramural sports — basketball, volley ball, table tennis, shuffle board, or softball — is automatically a member of the G. A. A. Taking the place of a girls’ varsity basketball team, the intramural program is in its first year at G. W. and still in the infant stage. A point system has been set up by which a girl receives credit for participation in the intramural contests. After she has ac- cumulated a total of five hundred points, she will be awarded an intramural monogram. The G. A. A. hopes to become an active part of the school program in the future years. To the right is a scene from two of the intramural volley ball games. This picture was taken during the finals.
