W.— our high school grows! the contents our building evolves to the administration the seniors depart climbing with the underclassmen the school works play ball cadets on the march see our advertisers kroes ficklin There she sits—a small, cheerful, busy little woman—surrounded by a class of students, each of whom loves her for something different—one for her sincere, ready smile; another for the friendly greeting with which she meets everyone; still another for her democratic spirit toward'all. She has taught over forty years, and her loyalty to the school is another of the characteristics for which we love her. She began teaching in a girls’ school and for dedication seventeen years was in the elementary department. Then she took up a position in the high school department. She taught also in the old Alexandria High School, which her uncle established. She studied at the Mt. Vernon Institute and later at the Berlitz School of Languages. The pupils of her English 6 class (September '37-February, '38) will remember a conversation in Italian held with one of the pupils. . . . She obtained both her B. A. and M. A. degrees at George Washington University. Her trip abroad the summer of 1927 has furnished many interesting discussions in classes with first-hand knowledge. During her years of teaching she has coached plays and sponsored the well-known Theodore Ficklin Literary Society (named for her father and the oldest club in the School), and has also headed the English Department. We are proud to dedicate our 1938 Compass to her — our teacher, helper, friend—Miss Kroes Ficklin. wliat goes io make 111� roue annual The layout —tiring work since it must be almost painfully exact—each page must be as it will be when it comes from the printing press— accurate measurements made—careful sketches showing the placement of write ups and pictures! One hundred fifty pages—each one carefully laid out and the pictures drawn in. i i Typists worked on seemingly endless page write ups and layouts—fingers were literally worn to the bone on the keys of the typewriters—and still the pages came! Almost fifty thousand words were written—making three hundred thousand times that fingers touched the keys. Two hundred dollars for photographs, which by the way, were almost entirely done by the students—one thousand four hundred eighty dollars for five hundred fifty copies printed—a grand total of one thousand six hundred eighty-nine dollars for a book whose selling price of two doiiars is lower than it's ever been before! This money was collected in fifty-cent installments, and you can imagine the time which was spent for counting and collecting. Clatter and drone—you might as well not talk in the presence of a printing press—you’ll never be heard! Day after day they roared on. while bales of paper were presented to its maw, to emerge into pages and pages and pages of the Compass— 38! The printing was done by Newell and Cole Printing Company in collaboration with the Washington Planograph Company. l-R—Marion Fulton. Louis Porter. Vernard Bond. Paul .

Each element in a chemical compound plays an individual part in the formation of that compound—careful work is necessary lest the whole experiment be ruined, Each section of the Annual was as carefully combined by the workers as the required parts of a delicate chemistry experiment. Outstanding for their work were: The Business Staff—Its chiefs, John Spittle and Paul Lipps; its adviser, Mr. Lindsey, and the many assistants who helped in the soliciting of ads and the counting of the subscriptions—the school owes them a debt of gratitude. Without the business staff there would be no advertising, no subscriptions,— in short, no annual. desk covered with layouts every afternoon— Edith Cuson, who put the spirit and drive and action of Cadets into words—Peter Drury, who brought the athletic field into the athletic section with his sports talk—Bob Shumway, who prowled around with his magic black box. snapping pictures of unsuspecting people with unholy glee—Helen Prisaznick, Helen Papiroski, Betsy Litaker. Eleanor King, who typed endless copy—Martha Alexander, Frank Luckett, and Russell Kranzfelder, who transferred undergrad life to paper so vividly—Janice Matheny and Elizabeth Jones, whose literary efforts helped fill the pages—Neil Wolford and William Whitney, whose magic pencils beautified the cover and pages of the Annual. The Editorial Staff—with Robert Marshall, who was here, there and everywhere, in all three sections, patient with the slow ones, helpful wherever sqmeone was having a hard' time—Margo Sellers, who put in grueling hours editing club write-ups and could be seen with a pencil behind her ear sitting at a Miss Butzner — rushing around with a handful of copy in one fist and a sheaf of photographs in the other—Miss Rawls proof reading and rewriting none too exquisitely clean papers—Mrs. Varner and her journalism classes, busily collecting Senior write-ups. Making the Layouts Things That Make the Wheels Go 'Round, In Conference Hands — hands strong and muscular—grimy hands working with bricks and mortar to bring to completion the building whose plan shaped itself under the sensitive fingers of an architect—the calloused palms of the riveter—the paint-flecked hands of the painter—the hand of the construction engineer — the hands of all these, and many others, who worked so that the hands of future men may be taught the skill and dexterity which the world so needs today. on r building evolves Sunlight sifts through the long windows of the auditorium— And outlines sharply the desks and tables of the school room— Lends an aura of newness to the job of typewriting— While it transforms the commonplace lab. Whitewashes the parapet of the approach— Softens the hand outlines of desks and bulletins— Action . . . arc lights bringing into sharp relief the eager faces of the cheering students, are reflected in the shining band instruments that blare out a challenge to the opposing team—silhouette clearly the cheer leaders who follow the game with rousing yells, applauding the play of our opponents by cheering our team on—night game at G. W.! A light about the door—and many lights within—typical of the guiding and enlightening spirit of education in our high school. Our faculty—in whose hands lies our education, whose sure guidance gives us the confidence we need in the world today—hands that have handled textbooks many years, and hands new to chalk and eraser— kind hands, ready to help at every turn—willing hands, hands that give their services indefat-igably—confident, sincere, fair and square in everything — hands in which we may safely lay our hopes, our ambitions, our ideals—secure in the knowledge that they are in the steadfast care of our friends and helpers. to the administration Superintendent T.

AN ELEGY With Apologies to Thomas Gray and the English Department Commencement tolls the knell of high school days, The Seniors wind slowly from the room, Mr. Lindsey follows them with tears of praise, And eaves the place to Shorty and to shadowy gloom. Now fades the glimmering school day from the sight, But yet a new class still our memory holds, We leave the spirit of an ever-ready fight To those who've yet to make the goal. Yet, at the time of the six weeks' report, The moping students will to the teachers retort Such things as Why this grade or that? And again the teachers will all stand pat. Beneath those rugged walls, that flagpole's shade, Where heaved a sigh, many a struggling lad and maid Each in its narrow cell forever laid The memory of the seniors sleeps. For them, no more the cheerful bells shall ring, Nor assembly brighten the long, hard day, Nor the home room songs they used to sing Follow them on their weary way. The breezy call of Mr. Moncure's voice, The swallow twittering of Alma's calls, The radio's shrill clarion, which was the source Of raising students from the darkened halls. Let not ambition mock their youthful ways, Their homely joys, and worldly gains; But 'til the end of time, let them say, I wish I might return again. The boast of teachers, the praise of friends, And all that studies, all that work, e’er gave, Awaits the inevitable trend, When knowledge, satisfaction to the mind will send. Full many a gem of dramatic ability, Has played its role upon our stage; Full many a flower is born to agility, A fine piece of work to the very last page. The applause of the crowded auditorium Will linger in our ears, From our many plays and performances Throughout the future years. Oft did the teachers drive us to their will, Their fury made us answer the call. And the memory will linger with us still, But yet we love them one and all. Assembly morn, you'll miss Bill on the stage, In the halls and at crowded meetings, too; Another will stand there to calm the rage, Another as friendly, and just as true. Miss Dickinson, our English VIII teacher, we leave behind, With her love for flowers and detest for gum, An old maid she is, but doesn't mind Because she knows that in the past she was loved by some. Class Historian, Doris Padget. Many teachers of purest manners and ways, Have labored to help us o'er hurdles so high, Some have departed, but many have stayed, To each and all, many thanks, and good-bye.

R. — junior reflections by Martha Alexander President____________________________________ Vice-President______________________________ Treasurer..._______________________________ — Sponsor.___________________________ Well, here we are, all ready to step in and take our places as seniors. The dear old senior class doesn't know what intelligent and talented juniors it's getting, or does it? While wandering around the halls today, I saw the sweethearts of the school strolling hand in hand, and they were no other than Vera Barrett and Billy Meeks. Billy seems to have lived up to the saying of In the Spring a young man's fancy— Harold Shaw immie Meeks .. Ed Snyder ................. Miss C. Andujar good nature, to say nothing of his good looks which have been found out by most of the Junior girls, is telling us that we have a find in Harold. Will I ever forget typing class when Thelma Murphy, Eleanor King and I sat and wondered how people ever won medals for typing! Thelma is a stranger in town from way up north. A northerner in the crowd, huh? North or South, Thelma has become a And there was that North Carolina boy, bumming chewing gum again. There's no school without Jimmy Lowe running around with his ups and downs. As I was on the verge of organizing a searching party to see if they might discover my history book somewhere in my locker, up comes our own Milton (Davy) Davenport. And say, is he growing up! Before we know it, he's going to be another Robert Taylor —or something. At Junior class meeting the other day the president, Harold Shaw, presided. Harold is gaining the top rapidly. His ease and friend to all and even increased the talent in our band by lending her own musical ability to it. And could we ever forget our best all around girl? Eleanor can shine in a game or in a dance, and we all know it. She can always be found cheering up someone, or laughing at our jokes—funny or not. She's our own Sun Shine Girl. And there's the star of the team—Mrs. Dove’s son, Eddie, holding up the wall. With him is a little southern girl whom her mother calls Brownie Varnell. Now I ask you, can you blame Dovey for being late? I stopped around back of school to watch our track team and as usual there was Charles Dinky Scott coming in first. Dinky wants to major in sports and we really believe he's going to do it. He has made a name for himself in football, basketball and track. One of these days he'll come back with so many medals we won’t know him. Running down the steps I nearly fell over Alan Brown who was having a hard time making his feet behave. Since Alan has become the Fred Astaire of G. W„ we can hardly expect him to resist going into his dance or going into something. Tearing around the corner in a Ford was Mary Lee Carter. Mary Lee can always be seen tearing around some corner in some Ford, at sometime with somebody — or something. My thoughts wander to our grand dance, glanced around the room, and who should I see but the sheik of the school in Jimmy Taylor's clothes. Jimmy's going to be in All State if he keeps going at this rate. Seeing the results of the rifle meet posted on the bulletin board, I glanced at the top and saw Donald O'Neil's name standing there. Donald surely is going places-with that gun of his. Before long he'll probably be going to Africa and coming bact as Donald O Buck or something like that. Glee Club meeting before the Norwich Club Concert turned out to be a riot when plans for the Club Tea Dance were being discussed. As usual, the boys showed their ignorance and wondered how they were expected to dance with cups of tea in their hands and why couldn't we have a beer dance, anyway? Well, as long as they are boys I suppose there is an excuse. I peeped in the gym after school and and I can clearly see Jimmy's Orchestra making the dance a success. You know Jimmy really has loads of talent in his orchestra. His new vocalist, Judy Bradley, has made us all sit up and take notice. And there’s Ludy Minnigh crooning softly and Jimmy causing heart throbs with his voice; and of course there's no orchestra without Lindwood Dootsie Reed singing as he beats his way to fame on his drums. Altogether, Jimmy has one grand orchestra and we shall never forget how proud we are of it. At lunch time as I sat wondering why we have Geometry and also if my hot dog was quite dead or if I was slowly murdering it, I wondered why we weren’t State Champions with such a fine team. Ed Snyder was really shooting them. Ed's another northerner in our midst. The north must be moving south, but we don't mind as long as they can play basketball like Ed. And of course, I saw Archie Thommasson because Archie is another one who is going places. He plays basketball and baseball just as well as anyone and that's some playing. Well, as I yawn and climb into bed, I wonder if the next Junior Class will be as proud of their Juniors as we are of ours. among the o|iliomor« s by Russell Kranzfelder President..... Vice-President Secretary..... Sponsor Jessica Calahan Jack Richardson Ryland Dodge Miss D. Calahan As a good many Sophomores are, Betty Kiger is very enthusiastic over the jazz hit, The Big Apple. Many attempts to Susie Q and truck have been seen between classes and during lunch period. Sophomore parties consider the Big Apple one of the main amusements. About basketball. Jack Davis and Richard Owens are two great stars. They participate in local division games and they rate champs of one division. Music (attempted) is enjoyed by a certain Sophomore class when the teacher is not in. Warren (harmonica) Payne and Fred (Paz- her on dates; she has a yen for sweet things, too. Besides the hard work and concentration required, algebra also has a romantic side. At least it appears that way when Walter Angel and Dorthy Brian get their heads together supposedly over algebra answers. While waiting for the bell which will signify the beginning of History class, Willie Triplet amuses himself running around with girls' pocketbooks while Ralph Fleming imitates airplanes over the ventilator with a rubber band. Douglas Welch, that Sophomore of many zoca) Marsh are the musicians. They have a variety of arrangements which secures the attention of the class. Lazy people play a part in almost every field of life as they must in the Sophomore Class. David Keefer probably has a good deal to do with the lazy part of the Sophomore Class although quite a few others aid him. One of the most popular girls in the Sophomore Class is Kile Barnhill, at least Jack Kirkman, Robert Boltwood. and Edward Irby seem to thinjc so. David Gardner is trying hard to get a date. Robert Sellers seems to be making a hit with Betty Hedges; he makes fudge for months, was probably the most frozen in the three-day freeze which hung over G. W. that week in March. He came into home room looking as if he had escaped from a sanatorium. The halls of G. W. serve a suitable place for exchanging ideas and having short chats before and between classes. Jean Eastman and Richard Owens, Douglas Welch and Jane Huff, Warren Hardester and Ruth Eaten, and many others take advantage of this fact. In closing I want to say that I have tried my best to gather and express different thoughts with the snap shots and brief events which we Sophomores will surely remember. freshman keyhole by Frank Luckett President _______________________ Vice-President................... Secretary________________________ Sponsor. ........................ Hi! Ho! another year for the past Freshmen and hopeful Sophomores. Looking into the future we see dances, pretty girls, and much fun. At the Freshman party talent was shown and amusement provided for over 175 students. At the party Lewellyn Kendrick, master of ceremonies, introduced the various members of the class taking part in the program. The program was a great success, and Miss Morecock, the sponsor, was happy to hear the tune of some forty odd dollars pouring into the Freshman treasury. Here we go with a keyhole view of the 1938 G.

Nancy Aitcheson and ,rCorky Gorham, cheer leaders, hope when Seniors, to cheer the Presidents to victory and fame. Warning! Watch your step in the halls or you may trip over a small stump of personality. He is none other than Benjamin Alvin Williamsowsky. Wow! what a name for a boy not bigger than four feet tall, but Ben is not handicapped. In fact, he rates with the toppers in popularity. Peeping into 301 we see Marion Prince as usual. What for this time. Marion? A curly brown-headed, hazel-eyed boy, the sophistication of Sophomores. Oops! We caught you this time—Shirley Strickler ignoring the bell to chat with Tweetise Chisolm. There goes Frank King and Russell Miller to a dancing school. Are they preparing for the Sophomore girls? Say! What's the attraction down the hall? Yep, you guessed it. That roller coaster wave in the blond hair of Chilton Chilly Raiford has all the girls’ eyes traveling in circles. Not only this, but his personality has made him very popular with all the boys and girls. whom we all call Jack Crump, is no exception by any means to the G. W. Hit Parade. In fact his one hundred and some odd pounds of muscle have made him a general hit at our basketball and football games. Besides being an excellent football player, Jack can also handle a basketball very effectively. If you ever wonder how the atmosphere is above you, ask Robert Wood. Robert can easily top 5 feet 10 inches and, man, that's height. Robert is the President of our Freshman class if you didn't know it and has done some fine work in conducting its meetings. Jane Huff and Virginia Taylor seldom walk home, but when they do, they always have Aw, now! Someone has pluqqed our keyhole!

Student Council, Directed by William Vogler, Completes Successful Year The Student Council of George Washington High School has completed another good year’s work under William Vogler who took office in May, 1937. As president he presided at the weekly assembly and acted as ex-officio member of the standing committee of the council. The council, composed of twenty-two members who represent the various clubs and organizations of the school, attempts to increase student responsibility in school activities. Any outstanding activity or function of the students after school hours has to be authorized by the council. It handles traffic, sanitation, discipline, and honor problems with the advice of the faculty sponsors. Miss Park and Mr. Hillman, and the principal. The Honor and Discipline committee, composed of Millicent de Butts, George Gompf. Boyd Myers, and William Vogler, is the most responsible committee of the coun- cil. Any person disregarding the standards of honor and discipline is brought before this committee. After careful consideration of the case, the committee makes a recommendation as to the punishment. The student in question is given opportunity to defend himself and if, in the opinion of the committee, he justifies his actions, the case is dismissed. John Spittle, as chairman of the Traffic Committee with Billy Carne, assistant, has efficiently handled the manifold traffic problems that an enrollment of 1,400 students presents. Under the direction of the traffic committee a thousand students can be seated in the auditorium in approximately three minutes. In the four minutes allotted to the changing of classes the student body moves two floors with little congestion. Cooperating with the City Police Department the committee has attempted to put a stop to students' hitch-hiking from school. student eoimeil Lost and found articles are reported to the Lost and Found Committee of the council, headed this year by Hazel Ridelle. For some time these articles are kept and can be claimed by the owners. If. after a reasonable length of time they are not claimed, an auction is conducted by the committee. Receipts from the auction go into a floating fund for the general use of the Student Council. The Cafeteria committee. Richard Burrell, chairman, takes charge of the cafeteria during the four lunch periods. It encourages the student body to conduct itself in an orderly way in order that the cafeteria may accommodate a maximum number of students satisfactorily. The Sanitation commit- tee, composed of Ellen Rammel and Warren Fletcher, works with the Cafeteria committee in keeping the tables and halls free from trash. All announcements or advertisements put on the bulletin boards must first be okayed by Sarah Yates who has been in charge of that phase of council activity. By means of this censorship all unnecessary notices are eliminated and the bu'letin boards catch the casual eyes of the passers-by. Due to these activities of the Student Council, our school life has been improved. The school should recognize this excellent, work and cooperation and should congratulate the members of this organization. The mechanism of the Student Council in action—monitoring the cafeteria, supervising school’s sanitation, and directing the assembly traffic. lathi Hull Ave Atque Vale! Sodalitas Latine—society in Latin—has had an exceptionally good time this year. Reorganized under the supervision of Mrs. Hutto, its sponsor, it now has four sections. The Arts and Models section has been occupied in transforming clay into miniature models of the Roman household utensils. One member of this section, Anna Fagelson, has turned in several pieces of soap sculpture—one, a model of Hercules holding up the world for Atlas. The Clothing section dressed dolls in the fashions worn by Romans during the height of the Roman Empire. Some of the group tried their hand at armor. The Construction section built a model Roman home with -he atrium and peristyle as seen in every Roman house and imitation mosaics on the walls. The Misce- aneous section hand'ed the business of the club and planned field trips. Altogether, the fratres et sorores have filled their calendar with a I sorts of interesting activities.

Miss Park The members of the French Club spent quite a time trying to decide on an insignia for the Club. After some deliberation they chose the Fleur-de-Lis, the national symbol of France. Next they went to work to secure correspondents abroad. They have them in Belgium. France, and French Colonies. All correspondence is carried on in French. The latter part of April Miss Park presented an original French play written by Edith Cuson. It was the story of a doting father and his only child, a pampered girl. Adoree. The girl fell in love with a school teacher, Pierre. Papa seriously objected because Pierre was so poor, and he gave Pierre the Never darken my door speech. Pierre, after being put out, soon returned with the information that he had won an academy award. Immediately. Papa accepted him as a son-in-law and all ended blissfully. The piay was presented entirely in French. The master of ceremonies translated it. % % % % R. Park. E. Cuson. C. Maigret. M. da Butts. H. Hoddick, K. Clark, W. Gregory, J. Burgess. R. Phillips. J.

The Scandal was a skit presented by the Spanish Club at Stunt Night. It was a very clever skit and took the prize of five dollars. Thus the club started off on a round of activities equaled by few other clubs in school. Just before Thanksgiving the club gave a Bingo Party and a turkey was won by a high school student, Dick English. Other luscious looking cakes and pies were qiven. Every spring the Spanish Club has a picnic. The students always look forward to the picnic, because it is a pleasant surprise as to where they will go and what they will do. The Spanish Club meetings have unusually well-balanced programs. Spanish songs are sung. Spanish customs and manners are discussed, with the intent of stimulating interest in Spain and the study of Spanish. Every year 4he Spanish Club sends students to participate in the state contest held for high school students' ability in speaking Spanish.

This deed of daring was the inspiration for the name of a club composed of students of History Seven, History Eight, or Political Civics. It was organized as an entertaining yet educational parallel to those classes. The club programs have been devoted to the life, music, literature, entertainment, and occupation of the American people, beginning with the Indians and continuing to the present day. Not only has the Silver Dollar History Club been active in this way. but it has been active in other activities around school.

Ficklin Literary Society has been in existence almost from the time of the organization of the old Alexandria High School in 191 I. In its galaxy of membership have been many of the brightest stars in the High School’s firmament. It has always stood for culture and the best things in school life. Acquaintance with the best in literature has been its aim, while occasional debates, skits, and literary studies of an amusing nature have lightened th$ deeper tones of the programs. Always eagerly anticipated and enthusias-tica'ly participated in have been, the spring and fall picnics with Miss Kroes Ficklin at Fidelia, her little place on the Potomac. This is Miss Ficklin's last year as sponsor, as she retires from the teaching profession at the close of this session. She has been the club's mentor and guide for many a year.

The Biology Club is out to beautify the school. They have started a garden in the rear of the school. They have planted hardy perennials that won't have to be looked after during the summer. But this is not the full extent of the Club's activities. Its work runs parallel to the Biology Classes offered in school. Sometimes the students go more deeply into a subject than they have time for in classes. All the materials in the Biology department are at the Club’s disposal, thus it is enabled to do advanced work.

It is composed of about forty members of the Commercial Department and is sponsored by Miss Ruby Crumley. The club meets twice a month in Room 214, with the tollowing officers presiding: President...........................Doris Padgett Vice-President..............................Ellen Hunter Secretary-Treasurer.........................Betsy Litaker The purpose of this club is to acquaint the commercial students with the ways and means of the business world. This purpose is carried out by the program committee at each meeting. The program committee introduces various speakers; such as Mr. Elliott of Strayer's College and the champion typist. Mr. Soucek. Short skits are given to show the correct and incorrect way to apply for a job. Various students give short talks on the ways and means of the business world, what a good secretary must know and do. and the advantages of taking a business course. The club has certain duties, although they are classified as duties of the Commercial Department. The students do a the typing for the journalism classes, scripts for plays, and various reports of different departments. The most important activity of the club is the editing of the Commercial Club Paper every month. The paper contains news of interest to the business department and records of those who have passed business accomplishment tests. The staff includes: Editor..............................Betsy Litaker Assistant Editor....................Doris Padgett Manager............................Sara Jean Moss home economies dull Homs Economics Club Wishes to Better Social Conditions The Home Economics Club was organized at the beginning of the semester under the sponsorship of Mrs. Parker, the sewing teacher. The objectives for the year as stated by the secretary, Marsland Penn, are as follows: 1. The club will have three sub groups. Namely, the knitting, crocheting, and sewing groups. 2. A chairman appointed from each group will work with Mrs. Parker. 3. Once every two months all the groups will gather for a program with the entertainment committee in charge. 4. The knitting and crocheting groups will meet on Tuesday and the sewing group on Wednesday. The Club's main desire is to promote better social conditions. The Sewing Club presented a very original and novel stunt for Stunt Night. It was entitled the Dance of the Dolls. They were lucky in taking second place—a prize of $2.50.

Club Finishes First Semester With the growing current enthusiasm in the art of photography, a need was felt for a Photography club in the school activities. This club, now finishing its first semester of organization, has purchased equipment and set up a dark room for picture developing and had guest speakers on various subjects. Working with the foundation knowledge acquired this term, the club hopes to go into more technical photography, and to serve the school in collaboration with the The Compass and the school paper. plioiiigrapliy rlub Officers President ..........

High Pep Club Punctuates Year With Many Brilliant Activities With Arch McDonald, sports commentator of WJSV, as toastmaster and Walter Johnson of baseball pitching fame as guest speaker at the annual football banquet held in December, the Pep Club climaxed a fall of brilliant activity. Attending the banquet were the football squad, school board, council, faculty and special friends of the team which totaled over three hundred peop'e. Mr. Ma kie and his cohorts with a memorable turkey dinner started the ball rolling. Near the close of the banquet Mr. Page Waller, chairman of the school board, presented the squad members with monogrammed sweaters. As the final feature Jimmy Michelbach's orchestra broke into the familiar strains of Sweet Varsity Sue. At the west end of the cafeteria gathered the pick of G. W.'s pulchritude and popularity, six girls, each representing an outstanding Virginia Class A football team. These six girls had been selected by a school ballot, the one with the largest vote to be Miss G. W. High.

The banquet was followed by a dance in the gym. Those attending stunt night on November 5, another Pep Club program, recall it with pride as the best organized and most entertaining one on record. The packed auditorium was royally entertained for three hours. The Spanish Club skit won first prize and the Economics Club second. And still another occasion under the sponsorship of Miss Pratt’s crowd was a sports dance following the Newport News footba'I game. With the guests coming in from the game in sweaters and sport clothes, the informality furnished a genia' atmosphere. The Newport News boys reported back home they had never before been accorded such hospitality. Then, there was a snake dance and rally the night before Thanksgiving. G. W. High will not soon forget the epidemic of blue and gold skull caps with which the Pep Club inoculated the student body in the fall. With hundreds of bobbing caps and waving banners and bright chrysanthemums the cheering section was the nucle’us of more real pep and school spirit than was ever known.

Six were chosen for the Senior group—Eleanor King, Janice Matheny, Harriet Herndon, Gail Brown, Henry Clark, and Milton Davenport. Miss Hundley trained the Senior cheerleaders. They composed new yells and perfected old ones. Each Senior cheerleader in turn was put in charge of a group of the lower classmen.

Moss Dramatic Club Calendar Marked by Many Innovations Activity with a red letter A might well describe the Dramatic Club during this session. Its accomplishments fall into three fields; name1 acting, student directing, and scenery designing. Its calendar shows four one-act play productions, Where the Cross Is Made, Wisdom Teeth, Diogenes Looks for a Secretary and The Boor, and two three-act plays, Grin and Bear It and The Ghost Train. Miss Jones and Miss Hundley have been in charge of production, each one directing one of the three-act plays. Under their leadership Jarvis Butler directed Anton Chekhov's The Boor which was chosen as the school’s one-act play to enter the State Contest at Charlottesville. Nancy Payne put on the one-act comedy. 'Wisdom Teeth. Under Mrs. Ellen King the stage crew des'gned and executed the building of sets, took charge of all properties, and managed sound effects. The students who should be congratulated on this phase of theater work were: Joseph Williamowsky. William Duncke , Robert Gillette, and Peter McConnell. Scenes from The Ghost Train, [AT ION iA Grin and Boar It Resume: A comedy dealing with unsophisticated youth as it flutters uncertainly on the wings of sixteen. George and Terry McIntyre as played by Charles Biondi and Nancy Payne are the problem children who together with the other members of the cast provide moments of tenseness as they work out their adolescent problems. Betty Worsham again turns in a delightful performance as Prudence, the vamp, who tells George he is too young. Feature: Outstanding for two things—the consistent fine acting of Charles Biondi and the lovely sets made by Mrs. Ellen King. Cast: George McIntyre.....................Char'es Biondi Terry McIntyre........................Nancy Pavrte Professor McIntyre.....................John Waiker Mrs. McIntyre..............Mary Fox A good Prudence Darling.............Betty Worsham Others in the cast were Imogene Sheop-herd. Judith Bradley, James Baker. Dick English, Brownie Varnell, Burder Athey. Henry Clark, Jarvis Butler, Esther Leachman. and Jack Craddock. The Ghost Train Resume: The tale of this famous mystery-comedy is woven about an old legend of a phantom locomotive that comes sweeping through the night quiet of the peaceful viilage of Rockland. Maine, leaving death in its wake. Suspense predominates in this weird tale accompanied by plenty of fun supplied chiefly by Charles Biondi in the seemingly ridiculous role of an Englishman who proved to be a Scotland Yard detective. Cornelia Allfriend turned in another excellent comedy portrayal as Miss Bourne, the spinster. Outstanding among the rest of the very good characterizations were Wiliiam Duncke: as the old station master and E 'en Hunter as a very dramatic member of a dope smugglers’ ring.

Contestants' Club Composed of Six Departments The Contestants' Club is one of the cider of the school's activities. The spirit of competition is one of man's oldest characteristics, and it is well represented in G. W.! There are six sections in the CJub. Each one is a beehive of activity when contest time approaches, for there are preliminary and eliminary contests to be passed before the winning contestant or article may be sent to Fredericksburg or Charlottesville. The Spelling Club met every single Tuesday (and sometimes Fridays!) and spun out words and words and words,—long ones, short ones, catchy ones, and Edith Cuson won and was sent to Charlottesville. The Public Speaking Club declaimed meritoriously, and John Spittle and Elizabeth Strother were sent to Charlottesville. The Debating Club argued furiously, with commendable attention’’ to expression and stance. Lynnhurst Johnson, De Forest Lewis, and William Birrell — affirmative — and George Giammattorio, Haven Stewart, and Vernard Bond—negative. The Reading Club went about with mysterious books, and read in low undertones about everything. Readers Virginia Gould and James Rixey were selected as the year's prize readers. Short stories and poems flooded Miss Kiracofe's desk from all points till she could be seen at lunch time vaguely waving a manuscript in one hand and a sandwich in the other. Virginia Gould won the short story contest with a Chinese story entitled Goong-Shi-Fat-Se,' and Elizabeth Jones won the poetry contest with May. o II Install I s' € I ii Ii Winners Standing: G.

Glee Clubs Prove Popular The Girls’ Glee Club meetings held twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday during the lost half of the fourth period, have been enthusiastically attended. Many classical and popular songs have been learned for three-part singing. The Norwich Glee Club of Vermont honored the G. W. High Glee Clubs by appearing here at G. W. while on their annual tour. The Norwich University Glee Club presented a concert, and later in the afternoon a Tea Dance was given by the University Orchestra. The money raised was used to help pay for the concert grand piano. The Glee Clubs were invited to participate in a radio program sponsored by the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce. The boys sang the ever popular favorite. “Tramp. Tramp. Tramp, and the girls sang. On Wings of Song. Broadcasting was a novel experience. Last Christmas the Glee Clubs went caroling. They sang at the Anne Lee Memorial Home: at Mr. William’s. Superintendent of School: at Mr. Waller's. Chairman of the School Board. This was the first year the Glee Clubs had done this. Mention should go to Anita Herndon, the able and willing accompanist of both Glee Clubs. boys lnl� Boys' Glee Club Makes Many Appearances The Boys' Glee Club met every Tuesday and Wednesday during Homeroom period. There were about forty-six members in all. They sang for assemblies and other special occasions. They were always well accepted and sometimes they were even liked more than the Girls' Glee Club and that is saying something! One of the first places the boys sang this year, that is outside of school, was Christ Church, for a supper given there. It is thought that a number of people came just to hear the boys. Well, after this they entertained at one place after another: there was no end to it! The Boys' Glee Club sponsored the Sweetheart Contest. t They charged a penny a vote and it didn't appear to be too high a price from the number of votes cast. They were invited to sing at the Football Banquet. They surprised everyone by singing a song several members of the Girls’ Glee Club had written to the tune of Sweet Varsity Sue. The boys are one step ahead of the girls— they have a quartet and a very good quartet it is! The members are Robert Field. Jimmy Michelbach. Llewelyn Minnigh, and Waller Dudley. These boys sang at the February graduating exercises. They sang first a classical number in keeping with the formality of the program, and then they sang the favorite of this past year, Bei Mir Bist du Schoen.

They do two and three part singing. They are taught the fundamentals of singing, principally to read notes, give proper expression, and to breathe correctly.

The organization is under the immediate command of the Professor of Military Science and Tactics, or P. M. S. T., who is responsible to the Superintendent and Principal for the training and discipline of the Corps. The Cadet officers and non-commissioned officers, who are next in line of command, are selected for their scholastic standing, soldierly bearing, good conduct, and efficient performance of duty.

Our Director Forward March Shadow and Substance The advantages of military training and discipline have been known for centuries. The Spartans of ancient Greece were noted for their rigid rules of army and civil life—much more strict and better-obeyed than those of modern dictatorships. which try now to impose these rules on an unwilling populace. For that is one of the main points of discipline—it must be not only obedience, but willing obedience. It is only human for people to try to get by without doing things, though they are afraid to disobey. It works the other way. too: they will make a much better job of it when they are wholeheartedly interested and desirous of cooperating.

The Band, organized by Captain MacKenzie and led by Bandmaster James Michelbach. has not only become one of the most attractive features of school life, but has enlivened the more sober mass of the Corps with its colorful presence. The Bugle Corps takes care of the ceremony of raising and lowering the flags every day, and adds greatly to the ceremony of the occasion in doing so.

Members are instructed in the practical methods of shooting and often become developed to an unusual degree of accuracy in the course of instruction. Competitive matches are held with other teams, and letters are awarded at the end of the year. The Sabre Club is composed of the boy officers who conduct both serious and light business at their meetings. To the Cadet Council, made up of cadet officers appointed by the P. M. S. T., is entrusted the upholding of the honor and spirit of the Corps and the customs and traditions of the school. Disciplinary matters are frequently referred to the Council for investigation and recommendation.

A well-trained, healthy, and clean body is simply an index to the mind and character of the man (or the woman). Under the military system of training at G. W., much care, thought, and time are spent upon mental as upon physical development, to the end that the cadets of the school may possess a quick command of every faculty, an orderly and logical method of thought, a manly recognition of proper authority, and the willingness to accept responsibility. As the rather worn phrase goes, virtue is its own reward, for those who respond best and most intelligently to the training received become officers, with the privilege of training and commanding others. Cadet drill is intensely interesting to those who take it with the proper attitude and throw themselves wholeheartedly into the process of training. It becomes a real hardship for them to tear themselves away. Participation in parades and other such activities is another source of interest to the cadet, for who can deny the thrill of being a part of a parade? Under the eyes of thousands, with the stirring music of bands and the rhythm of marching feet, who can help having a springy step and a light heart in tune with it all?

The most important feature is the ordinary daily drill. There the cadets meet and become knit into one. From there comes the loyalty of the corps to its standard of unity. There humans, being molded into individual personalities, meet and are broadened by their meeting. Their characters are strengthened, they become self-confident, they acquire poise and health—straighter shoulders, a well-defined gait, a dearer eye. There these humans come to know a hundred times better the rules of life, and they get a hundred times better chance for a level outlook on those rules. For they are well and correctly taught that, in order to give orders, one must first learn how to take them; that, to make a smooth-running machine, all the parts must coordinate willingly and without hestitation or friction; that the way to get along in life with the most ease and happiness is to find the best method of fitting one's self into the world with one's fellow-men, and to hold to that method, forever.

On the first of September forty odd candidates, among whom were the lettermen from last year's team, numbering an even dozen in all, and fourteen members of an exceptionally good Javee eleven, reported to Coaches Given and Williams, eager to begin training for the most difficult schedule which any football team bearing the Blue and Gold of G. W. has ever undertaken. These boys engaged in two- to three-hour work-outs twice a day until the opening of school on the ninth of September. In this way the boys were in A -one condition when the whistle blew for their opening game with the John Marshall Justices in Richmond on the twenty-fifth of September. During these early drills it was quite evident that we would have a team which could hold its head high in any company. The new members were filling the holes left in the line-up by graduation until it was evident that we had moulded together a winning combination. The Presidents opened the season by earning a 6-6 tie with the highly touted John Marshall eleven of Richmond. This game was one of the best exhibitions of football displayed by the George Washington aggregation all year and really boosted their stock as dangerous con- Tension in the Line Burrell Ready to Receive One from Center tenders for the state title held by Hampton High School. Alexandria first saw the Presidents in the newly constructed athletic field, under arc lights, and before an estimated crowd of 6,500 defeated a strong Lane High Team from Charlottesville, 13-0. The first defeat of the season was suffered at the hands of the powerful Crimson Wave from Petersburgh High School by a score of 32-0. Incidentally, the Petersburgh contingent later won the Class A title without the loss of a single game. The team scored its most decisive margin of victory for this and any other year in the history of the school at the expense of the National Training School—72-0. The Blue and Gold continued their winning ways with a 59-0 defeat over Roosevelt High School of Washington. The Presidents got back in the state race with a 7-0 victory over the shipbuilders of Newport News High School. The defending champions of the state title, the Hampton High Crabbers, were the next victims of the Presidents by the close score of 6-0. Of the three games remaining on the schedule, all were disheartening losses—first at the hands of a decided underdog, the Blue Devils of Hopewell High, by a score of 20-0. The Yellow Jackets of Fredericksburg High stung the Presidents to the tune of 14-0, and last, our old rivals, the Little Generals of Washington Lee High, took the Given-coached organization into camp by a score of 19-6. In all fairness to the team, it should be said that this team had one of the hardest schedules of any Alexandria school which has ever taken to the field. And in the games that really counted—games against state opponents—our boys usually came out on top. They won undisputed possession of third place among the fourteen Class A teams competing for the Championship of the State. Packed Stands and 60 Minutes of Thrills and Spills Against W. and L.

The George Washington Junior Varsity, or Vice President,” under the capable tutelage of Jeff Williams, played just three games—beating the Washington Lee Javees 18-0 and losing to the Episcopal Javees twice by the respective scores of 2-0 and 12-7. Most of Jeff's” material was raw and unlike the experienced and undefeated team of the preceding year. However, some of the boys showed real prospect and gave promise of developing into an unbeatable team of 38. A Mud-Smeared Huddle. Taylor Catches the Winning Pass Against Newport News. As the Quarterback Sees It. The Cake Team A new precedent was established at G. W.—the forming of a Cake or I 15-pound team under the direction of Mr. George Tyler, former Emory and Henry College athletic standout. The locals turned in the best record of any team to represent G. W. on the football field—winning 3. losing I and tying I as a record in games.

This came as a mild surprise to the followers of the Blue and Gold, as 6 lettermen returned, and they were bolstered by 5 promising candidates to fill in the vacancies of graduation. Probably the most encouraging asset of the campaign was the playing of Eddie Nowland. All State forward, whose season’s average of 12.3 per game is believed to be among the best, if not the best, in scholastic circles. Credit is also due the fine defensive work of Captain Stan Heflin and Dick Burrell. Captain Heflin Manager Norton Jayvee Basketball Top Row; Assistant Mgr. Fagelson, Tull. Riiey. Block. Crocker. Mgr.

W.'s Varsity sextet opened its basketball season with a dazzling array of talent against Nokesville's feminine athletes. The score at the end of thirty-two minutes of real playing was 25-7, in favor of the locals. Other games played were with the alumnae six at this school, ending 19-10—a Blue and Gold victory: Lee Jackson was next on the docket, and they were upset to the tune of 25-7, But later, at Fredericksburg, the locals were trimmed to the tune of 10-5. Again with an upset our representatives were foiled at Bethesda, 14-25. But these losses were few and far between, as in the case of Sherwood vs. G.

As the opposing sextet were far from setups, the merits of our aggregation may well be realized. And so our girls closed a reasonably successful season: Nine games were won and seven lost. Two hundred forty-one points were made by the girls of G. W. and two hundred forty-nine by the opposition. The Junior Varsity, playing two games, were 50 per cent winners, as they beat St. Agnes, here. 24-4. and losing to Lee Jackson's Junior Varsity, 8-24.

With five lettermen returning from last year’s fine team, including Dick Burrell, our potential State high and low hurdle champion and Captain of this year's team, plus the services of Eddie Williams, Harvy Bourn, and Irving Lawson. It's no wonder the Williams-coached aggregation is giving the opposition a great deal to think about.

Stuart Duck Porter pitched no-hit ball, and the Prepsters' only run was scored on an error, depriving Duck of the goal that all pitchers wish to attain—a no-hit, no-run game. This being the first game of the season and under the capable direction of Coach Tyler, the members of the team and the students are looking forward to a great campaign. With three lettermen returning from the standout nine of '36, and such excellent performers as Paul Snuffy Lipps, Stan Heflin, Charles Dinky Scott, and Wilbur Bo Robinson, our prospects are unusually bright. As the annual goes to press, the Presidents have only participated in one game. they have made w possible this book Without the wholehearted support of the following advertisers, our annual could never have been published.
