The Compass 1937 THE COMPASS George Washington High School Alexandria. Virginia PUBLISHED BY CLASS of Nineteen - thirty - seven Editor-in-Chief. MARGARET PETERSILIA Business Manager. EVELYN KEMPFER FOREWORD That life is a voyage and that we, who share it, are its sailors is neither new in idea nor original in conception, and we lay no claim to its discovery. But using that as our motif, we have fancied George Washington High to be our stalwart vessel; the faculty, our gallant mates; we, its humble seafaring crew; and time as the sparkling waters o’er which we sailed. CONTENTS VIEWS ADMINISTRATION SENIORS UNDERGRADUATES ACTIVITIES CADETS ATHLETICS FEATURES Celebrities Panoramic G. W. Advertisements Jokes DEDICATION Because of his boundless patience and tolerance, because of his keen sense of humor and his appreciation of human nature, because of his assistance and advice which have infused in us a desire for greater things in life, we gratefully dedicate this volume of the “Compass” to Archie S. Millican VIEWS Oh, what care we for lessons or for what the sages said. When just outside the window is a hawthorn bush that's red: When every golden daffodil is dancing in the sun. And a million silver pear blooms toss their petals, one by one? When the maples flame with splendor and the dogwood is in bloom. Is it really so surprising that you see an empty room? Just six tables in one corner, in the other, six times three. But what a difference is here, as anyone can see. At the one we gather slowly, come with such reluctant feet: To the other we rush madly, for the bell to lunch sounds sweet. Soup and doughnuts on one table—textbooks stalk the other room, In one a chocolate sundae, in the other study's gloom. Iftfl They’re just two other pictures of a smooth and shining floor. But to us they tell a story, dearer far than wisdom’s lore, For they speak of high school combat 3nd of battles that are done. We can almost hear the cheering for each victory we won. Here among the books and papers—oh. how learning grew apace. And with indolence too often knowledge ran a losing race. Oh. how many words of wisdom, words of truth and living worth. Mingled with the lilt of laughter and the ecstasy of mirth Have been uttered here to stir us. how the speakers came and went Striving ever to inspire us, lecturing long to good intent. (And when those speakers mopped their brows with inspiration glistening. I wonder if they always thought that we were really listening.) Across the bounding billows and the waves. far-flung and high, This gallant crew has steered our ship and now its port is nigh. With steady eyes and helping hand, with wise and truthful word, They have guided us to harbor where the cheering may be heard. The seas were often rough and wild, the skies not always clear. But the voices of our teachers long have stilled our every fear. When the tempests roared about us. and our course seemed far and long. Instead of frowns, they gave a smile; in place of tears, a song. They taught us how to steer aright, to keep our compass true: They gave us faith within ourselves and taught us courage too. No ship has ever sailed away with crew more strong or brave Than the teachers who have steered our boat across the bounding wave. ADMINIS- TRATION Superintendent T. C. Williams MEMBERS SCHOOL BOARD H. W. Reid Leonard C. Knight Ori.ando Kirk Leroy S. Bendheim C. Page Waller Chairman Arthur King Lynde Crocker Ideally, education is life as well as a preparation for a fuller life. As an institution of Democracy, the school should be democratic. The organization, administration, and supervision of such a school should provide for bringing these three functions into a relationship which will stimulate and develop policies which express the consensus of the best judgment of the whole group. Education thus becomes not only, a functional but a democratic process of growth. MR. ORVILLE W. ADDINGTON B.S.. Emory and Henry College Mathematics MISS ADELE AICHELMAN B.A..

FRANK WILLIAMS Richmond University Physical Education Four years of steady sailing have brought our Senior crew To where the flags are waving and the harbor lies in view. Just beyond the sparking waters our eager eyes behold The crowded shores that beckon with all their wealth untold. We have sailed our vessel many days, and now we wait to hear The captain bid us anchor, for we know our port is near. Sometimes the seas were stormy, and the tempests wild and long. But we sailed our ship securely, for our hearts were brave and strong. Soon the harbor we shall enter, and our ship shall come to rest. For four long years we set our course—“each day we travelled west.” But the voyage now is ending—every Senior girl and boy Knows a gladness tinged with sorrow: tears are mingled with our joy. For we know the pain of parting, and we pause once more to tell How dear are all our class-mates as we bid our school farewell!

GERTRUDE AMORKY Sponsor_________________________________ Mr. LINDSEY LOOKING BACKWARD This is a topical survey of the Graduating Class of 37. Its component parts are one hundred and fifty young men and women ranging from average to super. Originally they hailed from two schools. George Mason and Alexandria High. Someone got the brilliant idea that in union there is strength. The outcome? George Washington High School. The majority are old citizens of Alexandria, but there is a large number that comes from places all the way from Maine to California. Some of the one hundred, fifty are handsome and valiant. The others are charming and demure. From its combined height of about seven hundred, seventy feet, it can more than overlook the Washington Monument. From such an elevation how far can this class not see! Its combined weight—seventeen thousand, five hundred pounds. Weight enough surely to anchor its feet to prosaic work, even though its head is in the clouds! Its combined girth is three thousand, nine hundred, twenty-four inches. Imagine the sensation it would create going into Woodward and Lothrop's asking for a belt, size three thousand, nine hundred, twenty-four! What a furor will follow the class when it goes out into the world! Approximately, its combined brains would fill six hundred, sixteen tumblers. Is it to be wondered at that this class can discern no impossibilities through its two hundred, eighty eyes? In its first year one half the class allowed itself to be trampled on. They were pushed out of the chance to give their dance. But not so with the other half. Soon they both were in the spirit of the thing, and when the second year rolled around, things began to happen. As I have said previously, the two halves combined to make one gigantic whole in the Junior year. To eelebate this union, the class helped in many succes ful activities: the Junior Prom, such dramatic productions as Huckleberry Finn , and various athletic victories. In the last year, the class, with its Midyear Prom. State literary contests, and plays, reached a great state of glorification, bringing us up to the present. As we glance about, we see outstanding personalities on all sides. There is Billy Meeks who never fails to be different. His weaknesses arc red Austins, gold shoes, bananas, and acting silly. The honorable Francis Payne, whom Miss Kiracofe can remember as coming to high school in stove pipe pants, has finally decided that the school needs him no longer. He will move on with the rest of us. Then we have that helter-skelter Esther Cain who can actually do two things at once: her specialties are dramatics, music, and editing (the school paper). Then there is the one-man brain trust. Courtland Davis, and the top-man athlete. Do'Do ' Robinson. Some of the other great basketball or football heroes are Pete Wells, Puck Harvey, and Dickie Burrell. Don’t let me forget these: Robert Taylor Hatfield, the great lover of the Senior Class. Libby Shaw and Norma White with their wise-cracking, and Harold Fagehon. who feels at home on the auctioneer's platform. Marie Reynolds distinguishes herself by that Greta Garbo” expression around the hair. Mary Ellen Burke has changed an old adage to beautiful but not dumb.” What do big brown eyes remind you of? Shirley Major, of course. Margaret Petersilia with her pleasant personality is among the basketball athletes. With Evelyn Kempfer we think of her conscientious effort in everything she undertakes. Among our executives are Fritz Larkin and Jimmy Ticer who direct Senior affairs. There are still many, many more we can think of such as. Fred Astaire the Second in the person of Kenny Wood: the debaters. Anne Cowling and Vivian Ale: the cadet leader, Jeanne Spaulding: Lucile Curtis with her avoirdupois, curly headed Leslie Myers, smiling Frances Robinson, and Polly Stephenson, who denies that she rolls her eyes. With such a class so great in size, so varied in personality, a glance in the future is justified. Its combined years are two thousand, three hundred, eighty, which gives Methuselah something to worry about. Consider the wisdom that has seen so many years! Empires have risen and fallen, wars have been declared and won. fads have swept the earth since our eyes saw the light of day. With what an accumulation of experience and wisdom will it go forth into the world! The combined general average of the class is A-PIus. Where the component parts of such precocity will come to rest, only its prophet knows! Mary Jane Morrison, Historian.

No matter who may come or go. what pupils, new and strange. The sailors will be much the same.—there will be little change. Still Freshmen, thy and awkward. Sophomores. grown tall. Will sail the self-same vessel, know the captain's cheery call. And Juniors, too. will speed away, and Seniors. strong and wise. Will come to take our places here with courage in their eyes. As. far horizons beckon to our underclassmen here. We. who are reaching harbor, pause to wish you all good cheer. UNDER- GRADUATES 3n Jfflemoratm Robert Edward Harrington June 25, 1918 February 6, 1937 “Lie down, lie down, young yeoman; The sun moves always west: The road one treads to labour Will lead one home to rest. And that will be the best.” The memory of Bob is still vivid in the minds and hearts of his fellow classmates and friends. He was a platoon Sergeant in the Cadet Corps. A member of the French Club, the Silver Dollar History Club, and numerous other organizations, he was one of our most active students. He was a perfect gentleman at all times and always had a ready smile for everyone. In him. many found an excellent companion and a sincere friend. FEBRUARY GRADUATES Welch. J.: Brooks. G.: Shifflett.

The Student Council meets. Destinies arc solved and problems find their solution when this group comes to ordev Far from the madding crowd! Here students withdraw from the noise and bedlam of school activities, the browsing room of the library. An industrious Biology Class explores the structure of plant and animal life and applies the laws of Natural History. ALL IN A DAY AT G. W. A stitch in time! The future home-makers of America learn the practical side of sewing. i In Physics Class many a potential electrician is developing. Was there ever a group more intent than this? Tea Time at G. W.! Note the grim look on the face of the first culprit. He's confronted by one of the major problems of life—meeting Mr. Lindsey. No one can dispute that this is the noisiest room in school— when the students are making the keys fly. We hope these pages here will show the pleasures that were ours, The Clubs, the groups and meetings too. that filled our sailing hours. From deck to deck we rushed about from dawn til set of sun. So fraught with work, so mad for play—and now our trip is done. We thought ourselves important, yes,—and burdened down with cares. Though older folks may smile and say. “What easy life was theirs! For none save high school students know how dear a club can be. How much a contest means to one. how sweet is victory. And none save us can understand the laughter and the noise That busy rushing to and fro, so dear to girls and boys. But just as long as life shall last, down through the coming ages. We hope we'll still recall the joys recorded on these pages. ACTIVITIES STUDENT COUNCIL The idea of student government in the Alexandria High School was originated about the year 1929. At this time representatives from home rooms were elected to a group to be known as the Student Council of Alexandria Hign School with Mr. Frank Backus as the first president. The past presidents who have been responsible in part for the steady development of the Student Council work in addition to Mr. Backus were Leonard Sheads. Harold Gist. Charles E. Tennesson. William Riddick. Tom Moncure, with our present leader. Fritz Larkin. The Student Council is composed of twenty-one members who are representatives of the Senior. Junior. Sophomore, and rreshman classes as well as clubs having an active membership of thirty-five or more members. The officers of the council in addition to the president arc: Margaret Petersilia, Vice-President: Elsie Smith. Secretary: George Gompf, Treasurer; G. K. Strother. Sergeant-at-Arms. The directors of various standing committees of the council 'are: Harold Fagelson. Director of Traffic: Courtland Davis. Director of Auditorium: John Griggs. Director of Cafeteria: 'Teresa Nash. Director of Health and Sanitation; Saran Yates. Director ot Bulletin board; Janet brown.. Director of Lost and Found Department. The two committees of the Student Council which have the greatest amount of responsibility are the Honor and the Discipline Committees. The work of these committees is to handle cases of dishonesty and discipline, in which cases, a trial is held and recommendations for punishment are made to the Principal. The chief function of the Student Council is to render service to the school in as many ways as possible. Among the accomplishments of this council this year, in addition to the regular work, have been the raising of standards for class presidents by an amenament to the constitution: revision of the constitution with reference to the point system: raising the standards for monitors: discussion of the possibilities of the publishing ot a hand book of information for the George Washington High School: extending help to neighboring schools toward the organization of a Student Council.

Armistice Day—the day on which we honor those great ones who gave their lives in the World War—Armistice Day—the day-on which we journey to the tomb of the Unknown Soldier reverently to pay tribute to that symbol of sacrifice—Armistice Day—a day on which our thoughts should turn forward to peace. Peace. The very word itself seems to inspire a picture of quietness and happiness— a picture of a nation serene in the sunlight of normal living conditions. Yet where there is sunlight some shadow is found. We. the younger generation, will be the ones who will live in that shadow—the fear of war. We will be the ones who will bear the sorrows of the disruption of our homes, and the loss of those boys who will be tomorrow’s men. War is defying, unyielding, destructive, an unmerciful force which sralks the earth in hand with that supreme enemy—Death. America's Youth shudders at the thought of it. The Aged look on with pity and concern for their sons and daughters. The nation, terrified waits for the time when the shadow will miraculously disappear. Now is the time for our battle to begin: we can wait no longer. We must defy Fate and step out of this shadow which darkens our lives. We must struggle desperately in a fight which will last for eternity—the fight for Peace! Let us on this Armistice Day. remembering that members of our generation will in a few years be managing the country—let us on rhis Armistice Day—dedicate ourselves to the furthering of Peace.

Now Residing in Alexandria, Enrolled in School in Mrs. Forshee’s Class By DALLAS BONTZ and SUSAN ALLEN The students of George Washington High School feel quite honored to have among them a Polish lady. Mrs. Liza London, who is studying English under the supervision of Mrs. Forshee. a teacher of this school. Mrs. London is from Wolyn. Poland, and arrived in New York in October. 19 6. In her native city she attended the high school of . Stanislaw Konarski. where she learned Polish. German. Latin, and Russian. She taught school for six years in the elementary schools of her native country. When asked what language she liked best she replied. I like Russian best.” Mrs London has been studying English for two months, and in her opinion pronunciation presents the greatest difficulty to the foreign students who are trying to learn the English language. Mrs. London, a resident of Alexandria, remarked on the great difference between New York City and Alexandria. She says that she prefers the latter to New York, because of its quietness. When asked if she intended to stay in the United States, she stated that if she did. she would make her home in the country or the suburbs. Her hobbies are knitting, embroidery work, and -reading. Mrs. London stated that she liked to read the newspapers, but she had to keep a dictionary close at hand. Her knowledge of Latin and other languages has been a contributing factor to her rapid progress of English. On completing the interview. Mrs. London declared. I think that Mrs. Forshee is the best teacher in the world.” Mrs. London was interviewed by Dallas Bontz and Susan Allen, members of the journalism class. Miss Dinwiddic. Appmon. Cotter. McCullough.

The Spanish Club has been active and very successful for the past ten years. The club officers for the year were as follows-: First Semester President---------------------------------------- Vice-President----------------------------------- Secretary-Treasurer— --------------------- _ Student Council Representative____________ Second Semester President. ________________________BURTON JEWELL Vice-President______________________________________________Mary GERMANY Secretary-Treasurer BOB SHUMWAY Student Council Representative--------------------------------- SARAH YATES The club had a variety of activities which were both educational and recreational. The club tried to bring out the fun of our studies by studying the art, literature, and customs of the Spanish people. The main activities of the club were a merry Christmas party and a picQic at the end of the year, at which all had a jolly time and forgot studies. The club backed, morally and financially, the Spanish students in the State Modern Language Contest. The club gave a dance on April 30th which was the-first radio-Victrola dance given in the school. At the end of a happy and eventful year, the club closed its activity until the next season. We hope the students in the future will find the club as interesting as we have found it this year. ...Edward Clarke _____Ralph Siegel Polly Stephenson _____Sarah Yates Top Row; Fitzgerald. Spittle.

THE FRENCH CLUB President ............................ ..Evelyn KeMPFER Vice-President___ ANDR E HOPPING Secretary-Treasurer.................MARY JANE MORRISON Students of French had the privilege in the fall of attending a French film. Les Miserables, and found it a very fine production. The dialogue was in French and gave the auditors an excellent opportunity of hearing the spoken language. Those who are studying this language are also fortunate in having several interesting new volumes in the library for their special use. The French Club with the assistance of several other students was represented in the Pep Club's Annual Stunt Night. Two short humorous skits were given under the titles. La Vieille Voiture and Le Docteur Touguerit. Though we didn't win the prize, it was fun. and we appreciate the valuable aid of the students who helped us on this occasion.

It was established lor the purpose of increasing the home-room library of the history classes and to promote a greater interest in current historical events. Although the club was assembled late this year, we have had some very interesting projects. At present the club is planning to give a dance in the school gym. The dance last year was very successful, and we have planned a bigger and better one this year. With the increase of members and a greater interest in Civics and History, wc are confident that the Silver Dollar History Club will have a lasting success. Top Row: Reed. Mrs. Elgin. Penn. Cotter.

The club contains over 350 members who have shown much spirit and enthusiasm during the whole season. This year's officers are: President LlBBY SHAW Vice-President....................... RUSSELL CRAIG Secretary-Treasurer...................... ANN KNIGHT Out of a large number of students trying for cheer-leaders, the following were chosen: Brownie Varnell. Lucy Minnich. Mary Oglesby, and Jack Rush, for the football season: and Helen Smith. Henry Clark, and Eleanor King, for the basketball season. On March 19 one of the greatest events of the year was given in the cafeteria of our school—the football and basketball banquet. This included, for the first time, both girls and boys. There were thirty honored guests representing the various colleges, universities, the school board, and other organizations. The football varsity team were presented their well-earned letters. After the banquet, a dance was held. The success of the banquet can in no small part be attributed to the sponsors. Miss Pratt and Mrs. Malone. Top Row: Foster. Saum. Thomas. Smith. Appcrson. Gray.

This year saw the organization of a new club which had. until this time, not been included in the extra-curricula activities of our school. In October of 1936. under the sponsorship of Mrs. Malone, a Boys’ Glee Club was organized with Thurman Raiford and Russell Craig as officers and Anita Herndon as accompanist. During the year the forty-five members have been coached in three- and four-part music. Since the organization of this club, the interest of the members has steadily increased, and all look forward to a grand year in 1937-'38. The Girls' Glee Club of George Washington High School was organized in October. 1936 with Louise Farley. Vera Barrett, and Betty Lee Nalls as officers. The Club has made very fine progress under the direction of Mrs, Malone. The girls have found much enjoyment in singing old and beautiful refrains written in three and four parts. There arc sixty-six members, and each one looks forward to a more interesting as well as beneficial time next term. Anita Herndon was the accompanist. THEODORE H. FICKLIN LITERARY SOCIETY This club, the oldest in our school, was called simply the Literary Society until the death of Theodore H. Ficklin. who taught in the Alexandria public school system from its organization in January. 1871, until two months before he died, in May 1919. The club has as its primary purpose the cultivation of a love of good literature. To effect this purpose, readings, debates, discussions, and short plays arc included in the programs. Membership is open to all students of George Washington High School. The social side, so important to a well balanced program, is not neglected, and its most enjoyable feature is the picnics on the river in the autumn and spring. The club has had this year an especially efficient and faithful official staff in the following: President________________________________________ELSIE SMITH Vice-President_________________________________KEELING JACOBS Secretary-Treasurer_____________CATHERINE SHERERTZ FRESHMAN DANCE CLUB President_________________________________BETTY HEDGES Vice-President__________________________FRANCES HARLOW Secretary-Treasurer BETTY GRIGGS Purpose: To teach any freshman ball-room dancing. THE MARIONETTE CLUB The Marionette Club has transformed room 102 into a workshop with plaster of paris. paper, paste, cloth, wood, paint, scissors, and clay. Making the heads of marionettes is a very delicate process in which the clay mold, the plaster of paris cast, and finally the papier machc head arc made. From bits of cotton and cloth the bodies are fashioned. Finally, the features are painted on the marionettes, and its costume is made: he is now ready to perform for you on the miniature stage. The club has ambitious plans to present “Alice in Wonderland.” King of the Golden River.” Treasure Island.” and other plays. A great deal of hard work with patience and skill must precede the presentation of these plays, under the capable direction of Lucille Humes, the president. DRAMATIC ACTIVITIES On April 17. the Dramatic Club made its first attempt at a mystery play. The dramatization was called The Thirteenth Chair. by Bayard Veiller, and was well received by a large audience. The story centered around a spiritualistic seance and the way in which it aided the solving of two murders. The characters were: Helen O'Neill, Betty Worsham: Will Crosby, Graham Haynie; Mrs. Crosby. Sara Jean Moss: Roscoe Crosby, Dodo Robinson: Edward Wales. Harold Fagleson: Mary Eastwood.. Esther Cain: Helen Trent. Harriet Herndon: Grace Standish. Rhea Nalls; Howard Standish. Paul Shoudt: Braddish T rent. Joe Gay: Phillip Mason. Billy Meeks: Elizabeth Erskine. Elizabeth Strother: Pollock. Morton Appcrson: Rosalie La Grange. Shirley Major: Tim Donahue, Frank Miller: Sergeant Dunn. Sam Meeks: Doolan. John May. This was the first play presented by G. W. in which scenery itself was stressed. Much enthusiasm and energy was brought into play to construct and put up the complicated stage property which was required. The play was under the direction of Miss Evelyn Jones. Miss Corinne Morecock, and Mr. Maurice Given. DRAMATIC ACTIVITIES On the evening of December 4. Honey was presented by the Dramatic Club. Under the direction of Miss Evelyn Jones and Miss Corinne Morecock. it proved very successful as the first play of, the season. The plot of the play centered around the children in the Mansfield family who. in order to raise money for their sick father who was abroad, rented out their mansion to a rich northern family, and disguised themselves as the servants in the home. Olivia Mansfield, whose idea it was to disguise her brothers and sisters, as well as herself, as, servants, falls in love with Burton Crane, the young son of thenorthern family. The cast was as follows: Olivia Mansfield. Esther Cain: Elizabeth Mansfield. Margo Sellers: Mrs. Falk-ener. Sara Jean Moss: Cora Falk-ener. Frances Eagle: Amanda. Eleanor King; Burton Crane. William Coaklcy: Thomas Lcfferts. El win Brawncr: Solon 7'ucker. Joe Gay: Paul Mansfield. Henry Clark: Charles Mansfield. Jimmy Lowe: and Randolph Weeks. Raymond Lloyd. The play was from the New York stage play. Come Out of the Kitchen. by A. E. Thomas. CONTESTANTS CLUB The prime purpose of the Contestants' Club is to arouse interest in those literary activities sponsored by the University of Virginia in the State Meet. The contests include Debate. Public Speaking. One-Act play. Reading. Spelling. Short Story, and Poetry. There has been a steady increase of interest in these very worth-while activities because students are realizing not only the benefit, but also the real pleasure to be derived. Competition is strong among the members of the several activities for the honor of representing George Washington High School at the University. Last year the club carried off two state honors. Mary Jane Purvis won the Girls’ Public Speaking Trophy, and Marshall Gregory the Spelling, while the One-Act Play received honorable mention.

Cobwebs hanging from beam and plank. Musty and dusty, dark and dank. Crowded with trunks and cast-off things: Memories fly on silver wings. COPPER CHARM By Jean Stuart The smell of white magnolias, the hazy moonlight along the bottoms, and far down by the river, negro voices, lifted in songs of praise to de good Lawd dat takes de’ night away. Down the path to the Big House fled a slight, black figure. Briers from Marsc Tom's prize raspberries tore at flying legs, unsuspected twigs slapped at arms and head, and an owl’s breath-taking shriek lent wings to the superstitious black girl’s feet. Mis’ Sally. Mis’ Sally, open de’ do’. Le’ me in. Mis’ Sally: de’ ha'nts don got me. Ole’ Rube's done come back.” The door swung back and Miss Sally herself looked down with sympathetic eyes at the little slave whose eloquent face held terror the lips could not utter. Miss Sally knew why the little black girl was so frightened. For some reason this small child—this little black Aggie—had felt a peculiar attachment for her new mistress ever since the day Miss Sally stepped from the fine carriage into Marse Tom's arms to be mistress over the wide rice fields of Mulberry Plantation as well as her young husband's heart. And now Aggie knelt at her feet, trembling and moaning. What's happened. Aggie?” Miss Sally asked kindly, knowing already the answer. ”De' sign—ole' Rube's a-walking. Mis' Sally. Somebody gwine ter die. Somebody gwine die down in de' quick-sand! Foolish Aggie! I won't send you back home though: you may stay with Marm Nancy tonight.” It was not the first time she had had sinister warnings from the slaves that some peculiar phenomenon was frightening them into worry for their Mis' Sally. To their minds, steeped in the weird beliefs in ghosts and han'ts handed down from their black ancestors who had known sorrow in the heart of Africa, after dark, anything out of the ordinary surely meant trouble. Quite natural, too. that their beloved young mistress’ safety lay nearest their hearts. So Mis’ Sally wasn’t really alarmed. Hadn't Tom himself looked a little worried and held her a little closer when she had told him of a similar outburst from the slaves who worked at the Big House? That proved they were all just a trifle too superstitious for their own comfort. Then there was the night when she was alone with Marm Nancy and they had been disturbed by the calls from the marsh. Miss Sally wasn't likely to forget the scolding Marm Nancy got for allowing her young Mis' ” to take the River Road that night in an effort to find the lost person. For Sally was sure it was some poor soul caught in the treacherous sands. Again the girl could hear Marm Nancy's muttered prayers as the faith- Billy Rcckcr preparing for public speaking contest. fyl woman followed her down the road where the moss-hung trees with the help of the quarter moon wove silver lace across the paths. Then, down to the edge of the still waiting marsh—quivering with life, yet silent, as if waiting— waiting for something. All the way home the old negress tried to explain. “Cain ketch no ghos'. Mis’ Sally. Hit s ole’ Rube cornin’ back an’ somebody gwine ter die—gwine ter go down ter de quicksand—Ole’ Rube ain gwine let nobody get er way from ’im.” Before she married, Tom had told her of this queer story connected with Mulberry Plantation. The first owner, years before, had been a pirate of no mean repute, so the legend ran. and had on more than one occasion, in a fit of temper, had slaves hanged for disobedience. Then one day, being in an unusually bad humor, he had had old Rube whipped. All the niggers trembled. What would happen to them all? Wasn't ole Rube the witch-doctor? Hadn't he already sworn vengeance for former ill treatment at the hands of his master? Well—some say ole' Rube ran away that night, but the darkies say he was thrown into the quick-sands when the night was black. Strangely, the master they hated followed him in less than a month, himself caught in the black mud of the marsh. Ole' Rube's vengeance! Perhaps. Who knows? And more baffling to ordinary human beings, the negroes believed no family had since come to live at Mulberry Hall that ole' Rube hadn't taken his toll of life in sending some innocent to his death in the same horrible manner in which he and his black-hearted master had met theirs. The plantation had been in Tom's family for years but the old superstition clung to the negroes. Once when “ole’ Mis' ” had come as a bride, they thought the spell broken, but her first-born (Tom's brother) had wandered away one day with a little black playmate, and only the small negro had returned, wailing that his beloved HI’ marse had run out into the tall grass after a sweat bee and had never come back. Endless searching never returned the child to his mother, who died of fever soon after, leaving Tom with his father alone in the big white house. Miss Sally couldn't suppress a smile at the remembrance of Marm Nancy's troubled face when she had first been presented to her. “Oh! Well. I won't worry Aggie. she told the frightened girl, bringing her thoughts back to the present with an effort. Mister Tom will scon be here and he'll take care of us. Partly consoled. Aggie went to seek refuge in Marm Nancy’s cabin for the night. Now Marm Nancy's cabin was just behind the Big House, and the shutters were painted blue. No han't, no matter how enterprising, could possibly enter a cabin with blue shutters, so Aggie felt safe for a while. All day she had been hearing cries from the marsh T ack of her mammy's cabin, and toward nightfall they had gotten more insistent, though fainter. Blue, her brother, who worked in the rice fields, had laughed at her fear. but when the night came down, he too sobered up and stopped teasing the old hound by'the steps and came in and shut the door. When the wailing began again, he warned Aggie not to leave the cabin. But Aggie now slept on a pallet by Marm Nancy's head, in Marm Nancy's cabin. Not even the stark fear of the supernatural was more powerful than little black Aggie's love for Miss Sally. The moon had been climbing steadily for hours. A little more than full, its light made bright splashes where it fell through the trees. Suddenly there arose into the warm night a wailing, plaintive cry. almost like a sob. No owl on earth could cry like that—no wild beast. Aggie knew the call of the wildcat and the bark of a fox. Now, wide awake at the first sound, she crept to the door. Marm Nancy still slept the sleep of the just. Aggie cracked the door. Peace seemingly reigned. Crickets sang in the dew-wet bushes. Frogs sent their deep mumblings and shrill croakings into the night. A hound gave vent to weary laments down in the quarters. Over the marsh rose a blue mist which Aggie could see. lying white and still in the moonlight, through the big trees along the River Road. Again she smelled the heavy sweet of the white magnolia blossoms. Creeping like a cat she slipped over the two steps, carefully avoiding the lower one which was loose. Around the corner of the cabin and down the path which skirted the flower garden she sped. The light, made eerie by the mist drifting up from the water, left queer patches on the grass underneath the tree. Aggie kept to the darkness, not knowing just what she sought. Again out of the peace arose the blood-curdling cry. and at that moment Aggie saw Miss Sally, down by the Big Gate—hurrying—hurrying! Suddenly Aggie knew—Miss Sally was spirited down to the marsh by ole’ Rube. Her Miss Sally—whose laughing grey eyes were always kind. Her Miss Sally—whose red gold hair looked like sunshine. And she. black Aggie, had slept while this awful thing had happened. She—who had promised Marse Tom along with all the niggers, to take keer of de liT Mis’. A low moan escaped the faithful lips. Don't let im git her. Lawd! Don't let ole’ Rube git -Mis’ Sally.” A second time that night briers caught at Aggie's flying feet, while fear caught and held her heart. On she ran. past the Gallow s Oak. powerless now to frighten her in the face of more racking fear. Again the strange wild wailing shattered the night. Stumbling over logs, through dark shadows holding terror for the girl, she managed to keep in sight of the white figure down the path, now clear in the moonlight, now a blur through the mist and Aggie’s tears. On and on. A twig snagged Aggie’s dress. As she reach:d out to free her skirt, the gleam of copper caught her eye. Against the black of her wrist lay the shining charm ole’ Doc Ant’ony had given her tied on with a string. Hope entered the negro girl's heart. Ole Rube wouldn't dare touch her. She had given old Doc Ant ony all her dearest possessions for that charm. Even her little goat had gone—along Sparkin with her bag of glittering shells picked up on the beach and her red dress, which ole Doc Ant ony's black Rilla had long coveted. Gone to buy the precious protection from de spirits.” Fear forgotten. Aggie turned into the path that followed the low ridge out across the mud flats. Miss Sally was already far out where tall gra;s grew in the petals bf salt sea water that seeped into the hollows at high tide. Already she was out where the path became a narrow rim of silver and finally lost itself in the black pools of mud. Aggie broke the string on her arm. clutching her charm in a thin black hand, rocked to and fro moaning prayers to Mar.e Jesus and old Doc Ant'ony. Like an answer came her decision. If she could cross the pools by another path, she could head Miss Sally off. If she were with Miss Sally, old Rube would be powerless in the face of Aggie s charm. Tearing aside the grass, she sought the old trail she had found as a little girl, on her treasurt: hunting searches for sea shells and little turtles. A faint wind rippled the rice fields behind her. bringing in the salt smell of the sea. Aggie’s foot slipped! What was that? Something more than a sea breeze was stirring the grasses before her. just beyond the tall cat-tails. A low sobbing that ended in the familiar and terrifying scream filled the air. Aggie was lost—the little path vanished. Miss Sally. Miss Sally—Marse Jesus—hit's ole' Rube! Don't go no mo’. Miss Sally. I'm a'comin'.” Tear-blinded little black Aggie pushed on through the reeds, the faithful black feet sinking into the mud. Suddenly the cry that Aggie had known for old man Rube’s became a different thing. The haunting sobs were replaced by a soul shaking shriek of terror, and Aggie knew that not a' spirit” but another human being was caught in the bog—-Old Doc Anthony had been caught at his own game. Miss Sally never remembered that night, nor a great many of the ones that followed. For weeks after young Marse Tom found her early that summer morning lying unconscious down in the marsh path, she lay ill of fever. When she was well again Marse Tom admitted. You were right, honey. It wasn't ole Rube, only old Doc Anthony trying to frighten the niggers into buying his charms. He was too happy at having his precious Sally well again to scold her for her Yankee curiosity that drove her into seeing for herself what was frightening the slaves. But to this day the old niggers nod their heads wisely and avoid the River Road after dark. Perhaps old Doc Ant'ony merely got his just desserts, but little black Aggie paid the toll to old man Rube, leaving only down in the tall marsh grasses by the water s edge—a little lost copper charm. Good Medicine. By the beat of the drum and the flash of the sword, We know there is many a soldier on board. Oh, the decks they are crowded with uniforms gay. The glitter of guns in their shining array, The laughter of girls and the whistling of men, The order to halt, then start marching again. This gallant parade stirs our pulses anew, Each time that we see the cadets come in view, Marching and flashing and swords lifted high Have brightened our trip as the days have sped by.

It befell Mr. Liwski. member of the faculty and P. M. S. and T. of the corps, to select the staff of commissioned officers and to make the necessary arrangements for enrollment of the new cadets. After an examination was given to the senior members of the corps, Ralph Siegel was given the rank of Major, with Captain Raymond Lloyd second in command. Soon after the corps was completely organized. Mr. Liwski resigned from his capacity as a member of our faculty. This necessitated a change in the position of P. M. S. and T. Mr. John W. Childress, who was appointed to the faculty accepted this position. The first step he took concerning the corps was the appointing of Louis Robinson, who had been acting in the capacity of assistant to Mr. Liwski. to the position of Lieutenant Colonel. With the coming of the semester end in February, it became necessary to appoint a captain to replace William Hoffman, who was to graduate. Lieutenant Bernard Cook was promoted to this position, but at the request of his superiors he took command of A company. The time had now come for the enrollment of recruits who had come to this school in February. As a result it became necessary to promote William Birrell to command of the company which the corps gained. Company B. Captain. Raymond Lloyd. All the business of the cadets is taken care of by the Colonel Deems Sabre Club. This club was originally organized by Colonel Deems, former P. M. S. T. of Alexandria, and it is composed of the commissioned officers of the boy cadets. This club meets twice a week: it is really a class in cadet work, where the officers discuss problems in drill and all disciplinary matters. All activities sponsored by the Cadet Corps originate in this club. During this year, two successful events were held, namely. The Cadet Follies of 1936 and The Cadets’ Annual Hop. Louis Robinson is Commander of the Sabre Club: Peyton Wells. Vice-Commander: and James Ticer. Secretary and Treasurer. Another club, similar in its purpose, but different in membership, is the Chevrons Club. This club is composed of the non-commissioned officers and its meetings are held every other Wednesday. The purpose of the Chevrons Club is to train the non-commissioned officers in cadet drills and military discipline. These clubs are valuable assets in the training of the officers and future officers, and it is hoped that the cadets of future years will recognize this value and carry on their organizations.

Though having lost many of its crack sharpshooters in graduation, those remaining, with the assistance of the new members, have made the team one of the most outstanding in the school. The boys’ team, composed of sixteen members, has competed in four contests and. before the semester ends, they will have participated in five. Roy Allyn was elected captain of the team after Johnny Burchfield, former captain, was unable to fulfill his office, and Jack Wallace was elected manager. The members have reported faithfully to the range and. as a result, have ranked high in all their matches. T he most important of these four matches was the Hearst Trophy Match. In this the team placed tenth, the area including that of the whole United States. Other matches were the Third Corps Area Match, in which the team ranked thirteenth; the National Guards, more experienced marksmen in which the team lost by forty points: but probably the one most important, in tradition, is the match with Washington and Lee of Clarendon. This match was tied, and on April 21. the winner must be decided by another contest. Seven girls compose the rifle team of the girl cadet corps. Frances Johnson was elected captain and Jack Wallace of the boys' team acted as manager. Colonel Deems has given a loving cup to be given the girl with the highest score in the prone position, and the girls are working most earnestly for this cup. The rifle teams are recognized teams of the school, and each member will receive letters in June. The purpose of the teams is to train the students in the handling of a rifle and in the keenness of sight and marksmanship. Company A. Captain. Esther Cain. The George Washington High School Girl Cadets were organized in 1935 from the Alexandria and George Mason Cadet Corps. The cadet corps of these two schools were begun in 1931 by Colonel Deems as P. M. S. and T. of Alexandria and Sergeant Patterson of George Mason. In 1934 Lieutenant Peter P. Liwski took charge of the training of the Alexandria cadets while Mr. Garner assumed the responsibilities of Sergeant Patterson and headed the George Mason Cadet Corps. In 1935. under the leadership of Lieutenant Peter P. Liwski. the cadet corps of the Alexandria High School and George Mason High School were united to form the now George Washington High School Cadets. The merging of the two corps proved successful in many ways though we lost the 1936 competitive drill to our rivals, Washington and Lee. During the first semester of this year, the Cadets lost a valued friend and adviser. Lieutenant Peter P. Liwski. but received an equally valuable friend and helper in Lieutenant John W. Childress of Virginia Military Institute. Lieutenant Childress, though having had no previous experience in the guiding and training of a unit such as ours, has done exceedingly well, and the cadets wish to express their appreciation of his help. Company B. Captain. Claudia Raiford. The Girl Cadet Corps has participated in few parades this year. The first was at the Manassas Dairy Festival, the next took place on the latter part of December when we took part in a parade sponsored by a number of Business Corporations of Alexandria. On April 6. the Cadets appeared in the Army Day Parade that took place in Washington. D. C. The selection of the officers has been made for the Competitive Drill, and we have great expectations for the Drill this year against Washington and Lee. our great rivals. The Lieutenant Liwski Club was formed this year by the Officers of the Girl Cadets. The chosen officers were Captain Claudia Raiford. Commander: Lieutenant Martha Lee Robertson. Vice-Commander: and Lieutenant Virginia Lee Bass. Secretary-Treasurer. The officers meet once a month at the homes of the various members. Company C. Captain. Betty Carr. Alexander. M. Bailey. M.

Lieutenant Though our voyage has been pleasant, ’twould have still been incomplete Without the sound of bouncing ball and the rush of running feet. Happy days we've spent together—now the year is almost done. We remember every game we’ve played, each victory we have won. Football has thrilled our spirits; basketball has brought us fame. While tennis, track, and other sports lent glory to our name. Within these pages you will find a wealth of joys untold. A record of our world of sports, worth more than gems or gold. Full gallantly we tried to play, no matter what the cost, We know the joys of triumph and the hurt when games are lost. ATHLETICS GREETINGS F ROM THE SPORTS STAFF I expect to continue as I have in the past to play ball not only with the teams but with all students. and I do not think it too much to expect them to play ball with me. The winning seasons will come as a matter of course.” —Maurice Given. Physical Education seeks to make its contributions to the growth and all-around development of the individual through activities which develop and maintain organic vigor and physical, mental, and social stability. A girl does not need to excel in basketball or highly organized games to do this, but by daily health habits and regular activities suited to her capacities, she may become a well-developed, attractive girl. —Lucy Houston. To play a good game, and win. is the best thing: to play a good game and lose is the next best thing. May the teams of 1937 play the game of Life as well as they have played ball during the past season. It isn’t winning or losing that counts so much but how you play the game. —Dorothy M. Snedegar. Universally accla'mcd as a builder of body and character, athletics arc also recognized as playing an important part in the after life of the students by installing a sense of fair play and sportsmanship, so vitally necessary in the business and professional world. Physical education, practically unheard of a decade ago. is now a requirement for all high schools in the State of Virginia. The healthy atmosphere and clean competitive spirit lend a color to high school activities that makes reminiscence in later years such an enjoyable pastime.” Jeff Williams. WM M. Oglesby. L. Minnich.

Although many veterans returned from last year, only a few remained to see the close of the season. Keeping up their scholastic standing proved to be too much for most of the letter men. The largest turnout of candidates seen in recent years failed to fill the shoes of these erstwhile veterans. The effort they put forth, which at times was smothered under overwhelming odds and at other times shone through, cannot fail to draw the attention of the reader to the fact that practically every member of the squad was new and inexperienced. A slight glance at the records will show you that they witnessed one of the worst seasons in the last ten years; however a closer look will reveal that, with only a few exceptions, most of the tilts were lo.t in the vanin3 moments of the game and then only by a matter of a few points. All these things would discourage the ordinary team, and George Washington was not out of the ordinary, but they had a spirit that was more than that of the ordinary team, and it was this that carried them through to the end fighting until the last whistle had blown. At every game they went onto the field with the odds rating 2-1 against them, and at every game the critics predicted them the loser. Twice they threw the ratings to the wind and upset their chosen opponent: three times they held them to a tie: six times they were handed stinging defeats won by that last minute scoring punch, which they lacked in so many of their games. The sword that hung over Coach Given all season was the selection of a backfield that possessed the scoring punch and yet not too small and inexperienced to send against a much larger and more experienced eleven. In many games the backfield was outweighted by as much as ten to twenty pounds per man. The Sophomores contributed their bit by supplying the Captain Robinson team with several up and coming stars who should show up in good form next year. FOOTBALL Manager Worden Lack of experience kept them out of the headlines this year. Much of the work done this year by ‘ Squire” will be shown by next year's team. The line, meanwhile, was backed by the support of five letter men who did much to bolster the new material. Several promising linemen were uncovered this year, most of whom will be back next year. Also Captain Dodo” Robinson did much to put the team in the winning column. Dodo graduates in June, and his services will be severely missed. Although handed more defeats than wins, a promising team is on its way up. The schedule this year was one of the hardest ever encountered, being dotted with six Class A conference games. Suffering a setback in their first tilt of the season with Tech, a week later they were again defeated by Lane High of Charlottesville in their first Class A” game. A little prestige was finally gained when they setback the N. T. S.. 19—8. They dropped their next game at the hands of the Masonic Heme boys. 6—0. They again hit the winning column when they defeated Gonzaga. 12—6. In the next game, their second Class ”A contest, they held the strong and aggressive Andrew Lewis to a 0—0 tie. In a game that was moved up on the schedule, they were again tied. 0—0. by the much weaker Roosevelt team. They dropped the next two contests. 19—0. 18—0. to Hopewell and Maury, respectively. However, when the favored Yellow Jackets invaded from Fredericksburg, they again played to a 12—12 tic. leaving a twelve-year jinx unbroken. In the final and biggest game of the season. G. W. invaded Clarendon Stadium to be handed a stinging 12—0 defeat. After battling to a 0—0 tie for the first half, the Little Generals came back in the second half to draw blood twice. Some 7.500 fans braved the cold weather to witness this tussle, which proved to be just what they wanted. 1936 — FOOTBALL — 1936 RESULTS TEAM PLACE DATE TIME SCORE—WE 12— 0 Oit. 2nd. 3:00 6— 2 17th. 2:30. .

Bowing 11 times in 21 starts, the George Washington quint closed its season with little less than a .500 per centage average, the lowest in ten years. Coach Givens started practice early in hopes of getting his team rounded into shape for the many Class “A tilts scheduled this year. Approximately thirty candidates answered his first call for tryouts. In four weeks “Squire'' had his starting team picked, and from then, all through the Season, the team was kept on its toes by the keen desire to back into the winning column. Kenny Wood captained this year s five until February, when he graduated. His place was strengthened by the addition of two former Jayvees” who have shown up to be very promising. “Dodo” Robinson, football and track star, performed with this year's five and gave a good account of himself by holding high scoring honors. After the season was finished. G. W. participated in the annual Star Basketball Tournament which was held in Washington. However, they dropped their first game which was with Western and were thus automatically eliminated. This year’s five dropped both games scheduled with our Ballston rivals. W. L. 39-34, and 40-38. Out of the remaining nine Class “A” tilts they were defeated 6 times and won 3. Most of this year's quint will be back next year, so hopes for a winning team then will be high. A lot of good material was uncovered, and on these boys the success of the next season will greatly depend. Captain Kenneth Wood Dabney Cruickshank was elected to serve in the managerial capacity for this year's five.

Under the fine supervision of Miss Dorothy Snede-gar, the girls were led to victory after victory, being defeated 5 times in their 14 scheduled games. The team was selected out of approximately 100 candidates at the beginning of the season. Inspired by their win over Fredericksburg, their arch rival, they hit the winning column for the next 2 games only to be set back by •the Richard Montgomery High School girls 28-21. A hard fought battle was given to their rivals in one of the most spectacular games of the season: Fredericksburg won 19-18. The sextet started its season with a game with the faculty which they defeated 14-9. It seemed the young blood was apparently too much for the much more experienced faculty. Norma White was selected for the team's manager and Lena Latsios. assistant manager. The girls, while playing in the tournament, won second prize, a large silver cup. which was placed in the school library among other trophies won by George Washington High School.

W. Faculty 14 9 TRACK Manager L. Myers A winning team seemed inevitable this year at G. W. as 50 ambitious young athletes answered the roll call for the first practice which was held late in March under the tutelage of ''Jeff'' Williams. “Jeff” expected great results for this year's crop and had them in good shape for the first meet with Western on April 17. The team has gradually rounded into shape as daily practices brought out the finer points in the boys. Everyone worked hard trying to win a berth on the varsity. Because there was no baseball team this year, much more material was uncovered. Schellhorn. Burrell, and Robinson were the only veterans to return this year. Burrell ran the 220: Dodo.” football and basketball star, was elected Captain, and will probably perform in the shot put and javelin. Meanwhile two young stars are being uncovered in the 100 mark in Jimmy Taylor and Eddie Dove. Both are coming along in fine shape and plans involving them are being made for next year.

All through the season he and his orchestra could be heard at dances, assemblies, banquets, entertainments or any other function that the school might have sponsored. They have been very accommodating in helping out in any function in which the school might participate. The Rhythm Boys also played over the radio several times in a broadcast from Washington in which the Boys Glee Club of this school took part. George Washington High School extends sincere thanks and appreciation to Jimmy and his orchestra for lending melody moments to and for the benefit of our school. FROM THE CHEERING STANDS— HERE COME THE PRESIDENTS By Dodo Robinson Here come the Presidents. In their blue and gold so bright. And when they march upon the field. You can bet that they will fight. So cheer, yes. cheer them on! And aid them in their fight! So when the game at last is over We will be sure of victory. HE’S AN OLD HALF-BACK 1. He's an old half-back from G. W. High. He can kick that ball up to the sky. We can cheer for him Through all the game If we win or lose It's all the same That half-back will bring us fame. 2. In their uniforms So blue and gold. Every boy on the team Is strong and bold. They carry the ball to the end of the line. When they put it down that's a very good sign. Cause it puts the other team behind. 3. He'll run toward the goal, with the ball ncath his arm. The opposite team he will cause much alarm. For dear old G. W. he'll risk any harm That boy from George Washington High. Now they'll try and they'll try hard to stop him! But they'll find that it cannot be done. For he'll leave all the rest of the boys far behind. Once he has started to run. Oh— He runs down the field with the greatest of. case. And just like an eel through the line he will squeeze. And then with a touchdown the fans he will please. That boy from George Washington High!
