7he. GowficiM. 1939 N THE NINETEEN HUNDRED AM) THIRTY-NINE COMPASS published by the senior class of GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA CHARLENE TOPPING Editor DONALD O’NEIL COURTNEY SAUM Advertising Managers SAM MEEKS Subscription Manager ★ T() MARY WALLER DICKINSON . . . because she is an idealist who refuses to lose her ideals . • • because she is a teacher who is first, last, and always a student . . . because she is the most continually cheerful person in GAY. . . . because she has a sympathetic and understanding heart . . . because she is Mary Waller Dickinson, we dedicate our yearbook, “the nineteen hundred thirty- nine Compass,” to her. Miss Mary Waller Dickinson VV K of George Washington High School live in a city whose very foundations are made stronger by years of tradition, memories of the days when these I nited States were colonies of Kngland. Our halls are blessed with the spirits of men who helped free our nation. In this book, the 1939 Compass, we have combined the strength of those rirst days of Alexandria with the earnest, forward-looking spirit of our high school today, a spirit which we hope will make our city stronger and greater in years to come. 9 t GoMAfouctiosi The bleak etching of steel girders . . . Where clean wind sweeps . . . The building rises day by day . . . The precise and unerring pattern of brickwork ... Jena, 1a l l All “The third stair from rhe bottom is my stair. Machines are so quiet when they aren't moving! Rows of gleaming tables . . . Nature is a wonderful thing. GkORGK WASHINGTON’S CHURCH Christ Church was rhe center of social and religious activities in the Alexandria of colonial days. To its gates came rhe great gentlemen and ladies of rhe city. Its aisles are worn with the steps of generations of those families whose names are among the proudest of Virginia. Prom every corner of these I’nited States come people whose only wish is to see rhe place where the hirst President worshipped. It is rhe sign and symbol of a guiding influence of our city. 7he, School QooaA LeR°v S. Ben Arthur m. H. Kirk HEIM, Chairman ing, iCf'Chairman Leonard M. Knight H. W. Reid W.

Bur today that temple is a symbol of the closely knit bonds between past and present. Silent and stately, it stands on the terraced hill, its shadow in the evening pointing out to the Potomac. The Seniors of 1939 will in the future follow that pointing shadow into new fields of endeavor in the city whose most honored citizen it represents.

Sesuosi Calett GA, ■93«-39 September 8- We, the 1939 graduates, started upon our last year in high school today. September 23—The football season was opened tonight by a heartbreaking game with Fredericksburg. There was a dance in the gym afterwards. September 30—We daring Seniors braved Mr. Lindsey's wrath by making the Charlottesville trip to sec our team win, 12-0. October 14—The gaily-decorated gym was the scene of the first Senior class dance. November 18—The audience laughed hilariously at the antics of the performers in Stunt Nile.” November 24—We truly gave thanks today as we went home to turkey dinners after defeating our bitter rivals, Washington anti Lee. The old oaken bucket was ours! December 2—Two fellow-seniors, Judy Bradley and Sammie Meeks, took leading roles in Abies Irish Rose.” December 16—The night of the Pep Club banquet! January 27- End of those trying exams! We celebrated at the Mid-Year Prom, tonight, for February graduates. January 30—February graduates receive diplomas. Fifty-two SENIOR OFFICERS B itRorr Al’l'KRsON Carl Akin Vkra Barrett Viola Govirr Mr. Lindsev President I'iee-President Secretary Treasurer Sponsor February 28—We laughed until our sides ached tonight as the varsity teams just barely defeated the faculty players. March 1 Tiger House was presented with three seniors Judy Bradley, Carl Stark, and Rosemary Phillips in the cast. March 24 We gaily assembled in the gym for the annual Cadet Mop which was a grand dance altogether. April —Our baseball team, captained by “Bo” Robinson, was off to a flying start with a win over Ix e Jackson. April 10- 1'he Bunny Ball! Pretty girls in gay pastels a gym bedecked with Faster trills. April 21 The monogram Club dance tonight! A wonderful Spring Frolic. April 28—What fun the members of the cadet corps had today on the trip to the Apple Blossom Festival! May 23 Today was a day of hopes and fears as G.W.’s Cadets met those from NN I - in the annual competitive drill. June 4 This Sunday evening the Seniors listened quietly and thoughtfully to the baccalaureate sermon. June 7 Many sighs were heard at this last dance—the Senior Prom. June 8 We laughed and cried recklessly at the Class Night Program as the Seniors got together for a last evening of fun. June y We entered the high school for perhaps the most important event ot our lives our commencement. There was a moment of pride and joy suddenly, a pang o! regret as we gazed at the ribbon tied scrolls and reaii .cd. . . . Viola Gompf Fifty-three Once, this rime-hallowed building housed the first real school built in Alexandria—George Washington’s Academy. There, periwigged schoolmasters in stocks and swallowtail coats taught schoolboys whose propensities for mischief were no greater than those of the schoolboys of today. Reading, writing and arithmetic formed the curriculum. The building is silent now; the pupils who had their daily lessons in it are long since gone. Today there is a new Academy—George Washington High School. fju+iiosi StoiiAticA. Charms Bioxdi Carlyle Major Margie Purvis Mis Carmen Anih jar Prtsidtm Piff- Pres idea i Sttrfiurx- Treasurer Sponsor T HERE might he complaints it taxes were levied on people who were active in many things in school, hut the Junior Class would never he able to plead “taxation without representation.” Since any group ot people is divisible by the three B’s Beauty, Brains and Brawn— we will proceed to make short work ot' this one. In the fair sector we have several sweet things who can lay claim to the golden apple of Venus. We’ve all seen Kdith Hudson’s cream-and-gold fairness; Patricia’s Orr's brown eves and magnolia complexion; Margie Purvis’ gamin smile; Elizabeth Spotford’s pale hands, pink-tipped;’ Betty Jane Warfield’s warm dark eyes. The l oys win the blue riblton for the second B this year, with Pierce Ellis. Ben Lancaster and Charles Biondi carrying the Hag with great good will. This trio is among the most argumentative of its type, as anyone who's ever seen them around a lunch table knows. Pegtty Brumstetter, who describes herself as an “arguifier, (Mr. Webster never heard of it is the representative from the distaff side. Anti where would we be without the third B? Among the brighter stars in our firmament of the athletic field are the veterans: Jimmy Taylor (who might come in for the first B if he weren’t a Ik v); Edward Allen, that human beanstalk; Alfred Block; Nick Latsios; Irving Mumford; John Edwards; and our own pitcher star, John Murnane. Among the many who are the bane of “H.R. teachers' existence (because they persist in lingering just outside the door until one second before the bell) are Mickey” Downham, Bogardus Werth, Carlyle Major, Victor Parker, Earl Wood, and Paul White. Perhaps, thev congregate around because they know that just down the hall is where Lucille Humes, Dorothy Tolbert, Madeline Cline, LdrisSkeel, Nancy Payne, ami Mary Lee Williams garher to discuss affairs of world shaking importance. And then, in Knglish class— Mr. Garner: Analyze the sentence, “Tom married Jane. Irvine Mum ford: “Tom’s a noun because he’s the name ot something. Married’s a conjunction because it joins Tom and Jane. “Jane’s a verb because she governs the noun. Among the Political Civics students— Mrs Klgin: An anonymous person is one who does not wish to be known—Who is that laughing back there? Cocky Wood: An anonymous person, teacher. We take time out for lunch and listen to the conversation around the cafeteria tables Carlyle Major: If’ I go to the end of the earth, will you always rememl er me? V irginia Taylor: Oh, yes! I never forget a kindness. After lunch, but with plenty of time before Glee Club, we hear— Kdris Skeel: Will you take a walk with me, Cocky? Karl Wood: What for? Kdris: Oh, my doctor told me to take my exercise with dumb bells. We do wish that Kd Snyder would realize that l.ibby Spofford is supposed to practice Glee Club the last half of the Fourth. In chemistry class, fifth period, two up-and-comers studv valence with such helpful observations as this “Mickey Downham: Do you know they don’t hang men with wooden legs in China? “Bogie Werth: Zat so? Whv? “Mickey: They use rope. A Junior day might close with the familiar scene of a group of boys out in the parking lost pushing a black Ford. Of course, it belongs to Mary Lee Williams, who will be sitting disgustedly in room 312 for another hour yet for sassing Mr. Hillman. Not many of the Juniors, we are thankful to say, spend much time after school in school, and so, we can say good-bye to this year's Juniors knowing that they are going to be a beautiful, brainy, and brawny group of Seniors next year. Jane Allan rUeAAatde e ap,Uo no- ie4, Df.i.anrv Kopr NaNI'V AlTCHF.'ON Clarence Stine Miss Callahan President Piee-President Secretary-Treasurer Sponsor In all activities of the school we find those ninth graders, the Sophomores. They are members of clubs; they participate in athletics anil dramatics; and, perhaps best of all, they are loyal supporters of G.W., many of them lining the bleachers at all sch x l events. Let’s wander through the halls of the old Alma Mater and see just what these versatile Sophomores are doing. Passing the auditorium, we hear the patient, coaxing voice of Mrs. Monroe as she pleads with Anita Shapiro for “just a little more expression in that last line.” That energetic ben Williamowsky can be seen, also, at rehearsal as “Poppa Cohen in “Abie’s Irish Rose. A new discovery of the Dramatic Club is Lula Moss, who has made a big hit in several one-act plays this year. Out on the athletic field we will probably find those Sophomore stars of the “cake team: Jack Crump, “Shorty” Pallant, “Freddie Marsh, Bernard Partlow, and “Buddy” Simms. I ruing them on to victory are our own cheerleaders—“Bobby Thomas, Jane Baker, Jane Huff, Nancy Aitcheson, Klaine I-oftin and “Corky” Gorham. If we walk back to the gym, we will surely see June Wells, Jane Huff, June Pearson, and Anita Devers practicing with the rest of the girls’ basketball team. They arc all up- a ml-coming stars of our future varsity teams. The competent assistant manager is Gloria Gardner. We find a group of Sophomores attentively listening and participating in the Student Council: Frank l.uckett, Kitty Clark, Hen Williamowsky, Nancy Tucker, anil Rebecca Worthington. As our presiding executive there is Delaney Kopp who has been quite capable in directing the sophomores. In order to raise money for the annual, the class gave a party on Friday night, March 31. There was dancing, a floor show, and refreshments with one hundred and flftv Sophomores present. Entering the library, we are greeted by one of the competent assistants. Getting quite a bit of experience among the l ooks arc June Strother, Betty Moody, and Ia is Struder. At the end of the hall, surrounded by a group of her numerous friends, is Kyle Barnhill, one of our most popular Sophomores. Kyle's greatest ambition is to grow just one inch! Going through different classes we find that the ones who carry on the class with their intelligence are Marguerite Vaughn, Betty Kiger, Russel Kran felder, Virginia Jones, Ben Williamowsky, Frank King, and Betty Hedges. Then there are those who keep up Sophomore personality: Jane Huff, Caroline Macey, Jo Cornell, Betty Hedges, “Beany Elliot, Pit Hendricks, and Priscilla Knight.

The girls’ plans range from house-wives to airplane hostesses; the bovs from business men to inventors. Looking into the future for a moment, we see some of our most ambitious Freshmen. Take your aches and pains to Doctors. Richard Johnson and William Bell, and Nurse Jean Giles. If your ailment requires the loss of a few pounds, see Dietitian Cecil Spaulding. Look pleasant, please; while William Leef snaps your picture. If you are in a jam, take your troubles to Lawyer Jack Docas—he will surely erase your worries. Robert Duvall represents the army anti Robert Gralton, the navy. We hope they will both make their goals. Joe Williams is an inventor; Francis Hewitt, a farmer; Henry Horton, a foreign salesman; Fddie Mason, an aircraft designer. What of athletic ambitions? James Humes pines to go out tor track; Henry Grimm, James Martin, anil David Payne tussle for the pigskin; Billy Bell was one ot the star players on the “cake team last season. As spectators the Freshmen had a surprisingly large attendance and did some enthusiastic rtxiting at the games this year. Leading cheers were: Althea Gillum, Charlotte Paul, Barbara Hurd, Morris Fletcher, Kugene Beall, Carroll Purcell, and Sim Taylor. Approximately one hundred sixty-three Freshmen entered in February to join four hundred fifty already enrolled. The range of states which they represent is as wide as that of their ambitions: California, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kentucky, and North Carolina are some of those included. The Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores still blush slightly when reminded that it took a Freshman to capture the cash prize offered by the Tuberculosis Association for the best essay on the disease. The award was won by Dorothy Blach, a first semester student at the time. In the political spotlight we find Dalton Dove, class president. Bernard Phillips, Kol� ert Duvall, and Douglas Schoslev represent us in the student council. Doris Todd anil Blake Henry excel in clay modeling and Pat Petersilia in drawing, while Kddie Mason is known as the Kettle Professor in science. Donald Crisp, Robert Duvall, and Irving Craig seem to hold a great deal of the romantic interest, while the girl heart-breakers are Dorothy Noonan and Joyce Wood. Richard Marshall and Blake Henry are great photographers. Doris Todd is our present Sonia Heini. Theresa Goodwin is always the first with the new dances and songs, while Betty Pensor and Connie Small pace the other girls with style fads. Among the organizations the Dramatic Club seems to be the most appealing to our group and can boast of twenty-five Freshmen. We are taking quite an active part in the Dance Club, and the girls are very ambitious in the Home Kcononiics Club. The Arts and Crafts Club is really going places; and even the Library Club, which is mostly for upper classmen, includes two Freshmen on its roll. And now, as we step up to the Sophomore level, we pledge ourselves to open our “Compasses” in later years and remember the good old days” as lowly but carefree Freshmen.

K. le Butt In the second week of May, 1938, the students of George Washington High School elected Waller Dudley student council president for the term of 1938-39. Thus, the mechanism of the student government was set rolling for its ninth consecutive year. The election of President is a democratic procedure. The eligible candidates appear before the student body, giving speeches on student government work anil policies. I’sually, three weeks later ballot voting is held. Our Student Government is certainly an institution of which any high school should Ik proud. It enables the student to voice his opinion in the affairs of the school. Principal Moncure and others in authority have long since found out that student government pays great dividends in respect to loyalty and dependability. Since its origin the Student Council has made much progress. This year there has been a marked decrease in the number of honor and discipline cases, showing that the student appreciates the added responsibility placed on his shoulders. In routine work of directing the students through the halls, cafeteria, and auditorium the monitor system is employed. A group of some eighty monitors handles this problem so well that the student body of some fifteen hundred moves with comparative ease in the four minutes allotted to them for changing classes.

This Committee handles all instances of cases which have violated the standard of honesty set up l� v the Faculty and School Hoard. The student is given a fair trial by his fellow class-men, and if he produces a satisfactory defense is acquitted. Kverv school activity taking place after sch(x l hours must be sanctioned by the Student Government with a written permission. The Student Council also must be represented at all social functions given by the school. Kverv Wednesday the Council, consisting of officers and representatives from all club anil school organizations, meets for general discussion of school problems. In recognition of the work and responsibilities undertaken by the members of the Council, every spring the school acts as host to the whole Council either on a picnic or a theater trip during one sch x l afternoon. The Council supervises all school activities, there Iteing a student director for each section of the school life. The following are these directors: Director of Athletic Affairs—Nevelle Morgan.

One is the Business Staff, the other the Literary Staff. Donald O’Neil and Courtney Saum handled the ads, while Sam Meeks and Alexander Marinoff took charge of the subscriptions. To the editors of the sections of the literary end of the book goes the never-ending and tiresome work of collecting senior names and write-ups, correcting and revising club sections, putting together of Cadet and Athletic sections. 'Phis year inaugurated the “Compass Office” which is in the new section of the school. This office is for the use of those who work on the annual and is equipped with a filing cabinet, desks, cupboards, drawers, and other facilities to carry on the work of putting out the annual. Each year, accompanied by this endless chain of work and pleasure, a new annual is published by G.W.H.S.

Dinwiddis Sponsor T HE LIBRARY CLl’B, the Bookhounds, was originally organized in 1934 in the former Alexandria High School. Its objective is stated in the opening section of the club constitution: “To cooperate actively and assist in the library ... to help all students to become familiar with the library and its services ... to add to the volume and content of the library through beneficiary activities of the organization. The organization of the Library Club has been changed somewhat this year; members are student assistants and students interested in becoming assistants in library. The increase of the library space this year, including the addition of the Reference Room, has necessitated an increase in student helpers who assist in many duties of library routine. Club writers report library activities in columns for the weekly school page in the Alexandria Gazelle. In October the Bookhounds elected officers for 1938-39. At the first meeting of the year, Miss Beatrice Workman, librarian of the Alexandria Public Library, spoke to the club. In November the club found “Sex Books-Sex Worlds an invigorating theme tor B x k Week, the climax of the week being a special assembly presenting local professionals from various vocational fields who discussed books as media to further professional growth. In January the largest shipment of new books was received. Students assisted in unpacking, checking, and stamping the new books. These books have been subjects for many columns and bulletin board displays. In March, the new city librarian, Miss Katherine Scoggin, was guest speaker before Bookhounds. A special trip was made to Washington to the Kolger Shakespeare Library and the Library of Congress. Thus ends another year for the Bookhounds, and a record year in membership. First : Payne. E.

The first three-act production of the Club for the year was Abie’s Irish Rose,” directed by Mrs. Monroe, Chief Sponsor. 'Phis play holds the record for the longest Broadway and road run in theatrical history. In the spring a mystery thriller entitled Tiger House directed by Mrs. Ply bon, assistant sponsor of the club, was presented to a full house. No Sabe, a one-act play presented early in the year, was also directed by Mrs. Plybon. 11 was made very realistic by the performance of I lam Moy, who took the part of the Chinese murderer. The recent movement to have students cast and direct one-act plays was highly successful this year. The first presented was the prize-winner, Pink and Patches,” which was directed by Virginia Coates. It was well cast, and performed in a “pay” assembly. The second student-directed play was The Mad Hatters, supervised by Charles Biondi, which also deserved notice. Much of the credit of the success for all the plays must be awarded to Miss Agnes Carico, head of the properties this year, anil to Joseph Williamowsky and his stage crew. Joe, working with the help of Randolph Jester, Peter McConnell, Wilmer Werner, Robert (Jralton, Robert bagel son, Mary Ryan, 1 .ewis Almond, and Blair Culp, has turned out many grand sets.

This council met regularly for the purpose of planning gixxl programs and arranging the details of all projects undertaken by the club. The Club was busy throughout the crisp fall athletic season with rallies, cheering, teaching of yells and songs, and general backing of the football team. A special cheering section wearing blue and gold caps and waving G.W. Pep canes was a part of the atmosphere of the football stadium lor every Friday night game on the home schedule. The cheering was in the hands of four groups of cheer-leaders all under the Senior cheer-leaders. The selection and training of cheer-leaders entailed much work and attention. They were taught the leading of songs and yells and given opportunities to direct cheering sections in afternoon rallies and home room periods.

The Tuesday morning meetings have been devoted to outside speakers, panel discussions, exhibition of work, anti talks by the members of the club. A series of Wednesday morning meetings were held at which time the club instructors presented the technical side of picture making to the beginners. laboratory periods for developing anil printing were held three mornings a week.

Its members make up the backbone of the photography of the Compass Staff and each year the Photography Kditor of the annual is chosen from the Photography Club. The club took part in Stunt Night. It also works in conjunction with the Science Classes, as many times during the year students have been called upon to give lectures and discussion periods for the Science Department.

This club realized the necessity for cultivating general dance etiquette and for offering to more students instruction in dancing. Miss Hazel Peppin, our exchange teacher from Roosevelt High School, Hawaii, was selected as sponsor, and club activities soon were launched. Meetings were held every Tuesday morning during the first semester in the gymnasium where dancing instruction was given to the members. The club was fortunate in having the schtxil electrola for music. Due to the large number of students interested in the project, the membership was limited to those who could not dance. Fifteen of the Inrst dancers in school were selected as instructors. The members were then divided into groups of five or six, each with an instructor. The students were first taught the simple box step; and when they had qualified, they were allowed to practice with partners. At the last five minutes of each period instructors gave demonstrations of what could be learned. At the beginning of the second semester another organization for new members was begun.

The stage was set to look like a classroom, w ith a roomful of mischievous students seated at their desks. The teacher, Nancv Payne, had to leave the room. While she was gone, the students broke into a”Jam-Itorec of Dancing.” On March 3 the club sponsored the first tea dance of the year, from 3:30 to .30, in the gymnasium. Several hundred students danced all afternoon to the strains of transcribed Artie Shaw, Larry Clinton, anil Benny Goodman. The influence of this club has been rather widely felt throughout school life. It is a popular club, with so many students desirous of joining that it was found necessary to cl« sc meml)crship and establish a waiting list. The instruction offered to students has been most worthwhile. Consequently, many new faces have appeared at the usual formal dances in the gymnasium. Not only has this a great social value, but, also, there has l een a marked difference in general behavior and attitude on the dance floor.

The club holds it meetings every l riday of the week and has regular monthly dues. Comparing this club to other clubs as to membership, it holds the second highest position. There are many different phases of art work from which the members may choose. Such work as linoleum cutting, water coloring, sculpturing, still life, and charcoal drawing are taught. This allows the members to choose the type of art work he may desire. The Arts ami Crafts Club was honored to receive third place in the Pep Club’s Annual Stunt Night, when they presented Surgery a I.a Mode, a shadow pantomine depicting the supposedly grisly goings-on during an operation. In a poster contest, s|x nsored by the Moving Democratic Club, two winners were members of this club. In the first division, which included students between the ages of nine and fifteen, the winner was Doris Todd, lit the second division which included students whose ages ranged from sixteen to twenty-one, the winner was I'.dith l.aduc. Honorable mentions were given to Courtenay Plaskett and Marie Blue, also members of the club. Several trips have been planned for the future and each member may always look forward to very interesting semesters of work. First Kor It Williamowrky. R. Jcutor. C. Ptmcll. B. Triplett. J.

The activities of the club have varied greatly from a cake sale (for an annual page) to an enjoyable picnic at (Jreat balls with the French Club in the spring. I he chief activity, however, was an exhibit, vividly descriptive, of the Romans, their clothes, and their weapons and utensils. This exhibit was made up of pictures, models, and other individual projects. Another interesting activity of the year was a trip to the National Museum to see the Roman and (Jreek exhibit there. This exhibit gave them ideas for their own, and the lasting memory of a glorious time. MEMBKRS Auslandcr.

CIRCL’IX) I)F. CF.RVANTKS is the second oldest and one of the most active clubs in the school. It was started in i« 2“ by Miss Carmen Andujar, and since that time it has been one of the most successful clubs in the school. The purpose of the club is to get the students acquainted with the customs, legends, anti traditions of the people whose language they are studying. In order to give an opportunity to the greatest number, officers are elected twice a year. The meetings have been educational as well as recreational, and the members have always lent their hearty and enthusiastic support to this organization. Among the social activities of the year must be mentioned its Christmas party, which was a very colorful affair. The program consisted of several musical selections anil Spanish Carols, sung by the members. A long-anticipated outing which the club enjoys every year is the Spring picnic, held at Great Falls for the past few years. It is an event which creates a lasting memory and a “want-to-go-again” feeliny. Now that the year is ending, we must say, “Hasta la vista, amigos.” First R ne: V. I-anoint:. B. Weadon. F. Pri«aznick.

The club also benefited by the special rate offered to its members at the Belasco Theater which features foreign movies. A great deal of interest has been taken in obtaining French correspondents from Peabody College. The meetings have been devoted to the enactment of several French plays, directed, produced, and acted by members of the club. Le Cercle Francais is fortunate enough to have purchased this year a French newspaper, several books of plays, and the Christmas edition of the world famous magazine, “I.’Illustration.” The students also derived much pleasure from the new French game, ”1 .otto.” The school has contributed a French play, map, and calendar to further the enjoyment of the club. If you look closely, you will observe our members wearing the new French Club pins, the “Fleur de Lis,” which is an added feature this year. Would you like to see an interesting meeting?

Its origin came about in an American History class which felt that more time was needed to discuss topics pertinent to the regular class assignment but whose usual time allotment for each day’s work did not permit such discussion. A talk followed as to what the club’s name might be and after deep consideration the class accepted the suggestion offered by a class member, that it be the Silver Dollar History Club. The idea was based on the story of George Washington once having thrown a silver dollar across the Rappahannock River; anil since our school is also named in honor of George Washington, it seemed fitting and proper that a history club within our school be attached in some way to an event in the life of our first President. The club is sponsored by Mrs. Ruth Elgin in whose American History class the idea of the club originated. The club meets twice a month at which time programs of interest are given. Annually there is at least one social affair sponsored by the club, either a dance or an outing.

All sophomore, junior, and senior students of the commercial department are eligible for membership. The club meets twice each month during the regular school term for the presentation of special programs having bearing on commercial activities. In the past a number of outstanding speakers have been presented including bankers, attorneys, commercial instructors, and others active in the business world. Among the activities of the club is the publishing of a monthly newspaper, containing information of the value to the commercial students. The paper is written, edited, and typed entirely by the members. A highlight of the club’s annual program is a Held trip to a place of interest, in or around Alexandria. Eirst Rov: Parolee Croy.

Kitty songstresses gathered from the halls of G.W. to form the Girls’ Glee Club. Because they love to sing, these girls have come together each day to work on songs to be sung in the school assemblies, at meetings of civic organizations, in the city’s churches, and over the radio. Their repertory includes arrangements of operatic arias and choruses, folk music, and church songs. Audiences have been delighted on several occasions by the tender feeling which the members of this group have injected into their interpretation of Dalila’s beautiful love song, My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice,” from the opera “Samson ami Dalila. In a sprightlier mood, they have many times enlivened gatherings by their spirited singing of “The Sleigh” by Richard Kountz. Sleigh-bells seem to be ringing all about us, and we can almost feel the nip of the frosty air as their joyous voices describe for us a winter ride in old Russia. This ambitious group is looking forward to a future of very successful years as it becomes larger and more capable of performing truly good and great music.

These thirty hoys have worked hart! during the past year, forging ahead at each meeting, tackling new selections, striving to widen the scope of their repertory to include all types of music. Negro spirituals, sea songs, opera choruses, selections from oratorio—all have been tried hv this energetic group of eager singers. No choir could have given a more stirring rendition of Guns,” that fiery indictment of war by Geoffrey O’Hara, than they presented on Armistice Day. Surely, that was the high spot of their year’s work. At times, for recreation, special arrangements of popular songs held their attention. In collaboration with the girls some of these were worked out in a highly satisfactory manner. Now our time for observation of this spirited t� roup of singing boys has come to an end; so we leave them with a wish for their continued growth in members and ability.

The memlsers have taken a lively interest in the project selected for their work, and under the guidance of their sponsor. Miss Florance, the plan is progressing vigorously. It’s this: The club noticed the contrast between the landscaped front lawns and the bare stretches of mud that decorated the side entrance. And, with the beautification of the sch(x)l in mind, they are going to do something altout it. There will Ik spring-flowering, as a background, f'orsythia, lilacs, anti abelia. Then, there will be borders of bright-flowered perennials, to bloom every year, and daffodils, snowdrops, anil crocus borders for springtime. The club is not only gaining valuable experience, but is furthering its purpose in the school through this project. Miss Florance encourages her club to nature hobbies.

Many girls have used their ingenuity to add to their wardrobes unique and attractive accessories, including skirts and sweaters, scarfs, hats, bags, anil mittens. Dainty appointments for their homes are also in the process of completion and some have already been finished. Once a month the entire club meets and enjoys a social gathering in Room 109. The “matter of money to supply the treasury was taken care of when the girls began to sell homemade candies at football games. The members cooperated admirably, and the inexpensive way of enjoying good refreshments was welcomed by the “student consumers. Every spring the club gives a tea for the mothers of the members at which various articles made by the classes and the club are exhibited. Delicious refreshments are prepared by the Cooking classes, and the tea-party has become an anticipated custom in the Home Economics Club. Beery, Kvclyn Fugitt.

It is a club which was organized to help the officers with their sabre drill and practical instructions in drills and ceremonies. The Sabre Club conducts both serious and light business at its meetings, and any serious matter concerning one of the cadets is brought up and thoroughly discussed by the Sabre Club. For the year 1938, first semester, the following officers were elected: Charles Woodruff, Commander; F.sca Crews, Vice-Commander; and Richard Thomas Simpson, Secretary-Treasurer. The Chevrons Club has for its primary purpose the teaching of the non-commissioned officers their duties in the Cadet Corps. At the Club’s regular meetings, which are held every Wednesday morning, the conduct of the privates and the problem of teaching the manual of arms and improvements of drill arc discussed. This club may be joined by any non-commissioned officer in the George Washington High School Cadet Corps. The following officers were elected for the year 1938-39: Ronald Sisk, President; Howard Hicks, Vice-President; Phillip Hoffman, Secretary-Treasurer; and John Shelton, Sergeant-at-Arms.

All parades, dances, inspections, and requests for ushers are discussed and arranged by these officers. Thus, it is considered as a council rather than a club. Because of the fact that the club is a council, also, the highest ranking officers of the Corps take the offices of the club. The officers are: President, Major Marguerite Simpson; the Vice-President, Helen Callahan; the Secretary-Treasurer, Viola (Jompf; and the Officer-at-Arms, Frances Andrews. All commissioned ami non-commissioned officers are members. The social activities provide for much discussion. At certain times during the year baskets are sent to the poor by the work of the club. The Lieutenant l.iwiski Club has existed many years. This is the first year that it has served as a council as well as a club. The combination of the two has proved to be a big advantage because it gives the non-commissioned officers a better understanding of the Corps. Indeed, any successful Corps needs an organization of this type. As lonu as there is a Cadet Corps there should be organizations of this type to look out for the problems and activities. Therefore, the Lieutenant l.iwiski Club is of great value with its serious minded and cooperative members who have as their goal “the advancement of the Cadet Corps. First Rme: II. Gallatan. V.

The War Department requires that the course of instruction of the Cadet Corps cover approximately three hours per week; the Corps is, indeed, fortunate in that this high school allows five hours per week. This time is devoted to theoretical and practical instruction, the average annual course covering a period of thirty-two weeks. In general, the instruction is practical with such lectures, conferences, recitations, and demonstrations that may from time to time be deemed necessary by the Professor of Military Science and Tactics to promote the efficiency of practical instruction.

In close order drill, including ceremonies, all movements are executed with precision and in unison. As often as is deemed advisable, the regimental drill consists of’ the regimental review and the regimental parade. The respective battalions are formed each day, but the main function as a battalion consists of the weekly detailed inspections. The most common drill is that of the company. In this drill the company commanders drill their companies in all conceivable tactics. In inclement weather the corps is assembled indoors and the instruction is given orally by the officers. These demonstrations are beneficial and are given very much in detail. On of the most important functions of the Cadet Corps is the annual inspection by a senior staff officers from the office of the Adjutant (iencral of the Third Corps Area. 'The inspection is held in order to determine the rating of the high school as compared to the ratings of other high schools in the area. There are also functions of the Cadet Corps that lean toward entertainment. The most enjoyable of these functions are the parades. The most outstanding of these parades is that of the Apple Blossom festival, held every spring in Winchester. Among the other parades that the Cadet Corps attends are the Armistice Day Parade, the (ieorge Washington's Birthday Parade, the all-important Army Day Parade, the Confederate Memorial Day Parade, ami the Memorial Day Parade.

ITIQX 1 HK recruits, this year, were instructed l� v Lieutenant Courtney Saum. He was ably assisted by Sergeant Hilly Paine, Sergeant Richard Dollins, anti Sergeant Howard Hicks. This body of recruits entered the George Washington High School Cadet Corps at the beginning of the second semester. Since that time, under capable hands, they have been molded anil shaped into an efficient military unit. Instructing recruits is a very difficult task, as most of them are entirely new to military tactics, science, anil discipline, and to their instructors must go a great deal of credit of their excellent work. For the most part, the credit goes to the individual recruits who were so willing to learn. They all, as they became more accustomed to military discipline, learned and progressed rapidly. It is from these very men that the future officers of the Cadet Corps will be chosen. The road to becoming an officer may be rough and filled with many hardships and disappointments, but to those men who have the initiative to keep going there will always be the reward of knowing that he has come from the bottom to the top, and his becoming an officer is really a great achievement. These men, upon graduation, will have found that there is but one thought behind military training -“Knowledge is Power.” First Rom: C. McCauley. C. Saum. R. Sisk. Srtond Row: B. Payne. J. Strother.

CADET WORK FOR GIRLS OFFERS MANY ADVANTAGES TMIS semester the recruits of the second battalion were under the capable supervision of Lieutenant Helen Shank. She was assisted by Sergeant Elizabeth Kirchner anti Sergeant Kyle Barnhill. Although to the casual observer military training may not seem greatly beneficial to the girls, in reality, upon a more careful study of the activities it would be fount! that the benefits derived from this source of training are of great importance in developing character, mind, and body. Character is developed in these girls for, the main part, by giving to them a more thorough knowledge and understanding of the requirements, loyalty, anil the basic fundamentals of good citizenship. A good citizen is a person who does what he is supposed to do when he is supposed to do it and works for the betterment of his fellow men and not for personal gain. We feel sure that there is nothing that will develop the spirit of cooperation and understanding as thoroughly as will military training. First R rx: I). Conan. F. Alexander. M. Arnold. T. Trejjer.

DEPARTMESTS I HK GKORGh WASHINGTON HIGH SCH(X)L CADKT BAND occupies a unique position in the life of the high school. It serves not only as the musical organization for the cadet corps, hut, also, is present at all the major athletic functions, playing the school songs and marches. The band is commanded by Captain Harold Berkow, who has had two full years in the cadet band. He plays the saxophone and clarinet, hirst Lieutenant, Peter McConnell, plays the drums and supervises that section, hirst Sergeant, Merritte Pate, plays the trumpet. The drum major is Prances Harlow, who has had much experience in drum majoring, and has participated in all of the major appearances of the cadet band. The Guidon Sergeant is Bernard Schaefer. The hand has played a number of marches this year. During the first semester, the life of Sousa was studied and many of the March King's” marches learned in this connection, such as: “King Cotton,” ‘‘Washington Post,” h.l Captain,” ‘‘High School Cadets,” “Stars anti Stripes h’orever.” Special tiled trips were made to hear the Marine Band under Captain Taylor Branson, anil the Army Band under Captain Darcy, as these two organizations were practicing on various occasions in Washington. The cadet hand participated in the Washington Birthday parade in Alexandria. Direction of the hand is under the sponsorship of Mr. C. A. Larson, who has had considerable experience along this line while at Stanford I’niversitv. One hundred four Rijfle ecutn RIFLE TEAM RECEIVES SEW IMPETUS WITH RISE SHOOT!XG GALLERY O N F. of the most beneficial of all phases of military training is marksmanship. 11 develops restraint, self-control, anil muscular coordination. It is for this reason that the War Department supports the rifle team. The War Department requires that all members of the team be enrolled in the Cadet Corps, and have attained the age of fourteen years. Both the boys and girls are represented by rifle teams. There are three different teams of five members for the boys and two teams of five members for the girls. The captain of the boys’ team is Lieutenant Colonel Robert Thomson, while the girls’ team is under the leadership of Captain Viola Gompf. At present the Itoys team has fired the following matches: Georgetown I niversity Freshmen, Hearst Trophy Match, and Third Corps Area Match. Before the close of the year still more competitive matches will have been fired. For the first time in the history of the Cadet Corps there is a rifle range in the school building. The range is located in the basement of the new section of the building directly off from the ofike of the P.M.S. T. The new range is equipped for firing at !x th fifty and seventy-five feet. It is also equipped with a fresh-air system that keeps it well ventilated at all times. It would be impossible to over-rate the importance of marksmanship, not only for the purpose of national defense but also for the benefit the individual derives from it in lx th mental and muscular action.

W mi the installation of a new coaching staff and system the destinies of the George Washington High School football team took a definite turn for the better. Using the Rockne system with slight variations and operating from a double wing back, the local lads really didn’t hit their stride until the fifth game of the season when they tied Lynchburg High School. Prom everv standpoint this has been the Blue ami Gold’s most successful season since 103c when the now All-American, Paul Shu, led G.W.H.S. to a state championship. The Doran-coached organization won five, lost two, and tied two for an average of .750. Our boys opened the ’38 season with a sour note when they lost to Fredericksburg by a score of 14-12. The locals led at the half time 12-0 anti then blew the lead in the second half when they exhibited a dead pass defense and the Yellow Jackets scored twice and converted twice for a total of 14 points. The following week GAY. opened the Class A conference with a win over Lane High of Charlottesville 12-0. A trip into the tidewater section was next on the docket and (JAY. was contented with a 6-6 tie with the strong “Shipbuilders” from Newport News. Woodrow Wilson, of Portsmouth, set back the locals by the impressive score of 13-0 for one of their two conference wins and G.W.’s only conference loss.

The boys from Lynchburg were outplayed and just barely earned a tic when their halfback intercepted a pass in the final minutes of play anti raced yards to a touchdown and converted; this team later t ecame the State Class A Champion. It was, now, pretty evident that the Doran system of Coaching was having its effects on the team as the boys next beat Andrew Lewis of Salem more decisively than the 7-0 score indicated anti then followed up with an 18-6 victory over Georgetown Prep of Garret Park, Maryland. The Presidents returned to the state race with a 7-6 victory over the highly touted Blue Devils of Hopewell and revenged last years massacre at the latter's hands. To bring the season to a highly successful climax the Alexandrians thoroughly trounced our arch rivals, Washington and I-cc High School of Ballston, 4-0. The game was featured by timely blocking and spectacular runs by the locals throughout. The Arlington County lads were no match for the strong Alexandria aggregation but tried desperately to stop the rush of touchdow n fever that had spread through the G.W. backficld. Outstanding performances throughout the season were consistently rendered by Captain Harold Payne, Bill Bontz, Edward Nowland, Bo Robinson, Jimmy Taylor and Eddie Dove. Fir l Rov: C. Thoman. B.
