Text from Pages 1 - 178 of the 1946 volume:

W’hile I recline At case beneath This immemorial Pine, Small Sphere! turn thy cloven sheath— Exerps from Hm rod's 7 he Cotton Boll” Editor's Note As the future unfolds the scroll of time, we see there the call of duty—to render to a broken world prosperity, toil, wisdom, and peace. Fond memories linger in those last few lines of the past, and faces glow with genuine happiness at the task now done. Still, in our hearts is engraved the task before us, for we are youth; ours is the inspiration and the strength of a new world. We shall seek new visions, and dream dreams of great things; so shall we make our world a better place in which to live. Contents HVJ1 ’■iiw ™rr u The Compass is affectionately dedicated this year to Mr. Archer Millican, known to all of his students and many friends as Pop”. The name is a very appropriate one because it expresses simply and eloquently the feelings of everyone of us for the man who has truly been like a father, since we first stepped inside the halls of our high school. He has counseled and advised many a troubled student. His sense of humor, sympathetic understanding and fine teaching ability makes his classes exceptionally interesting and promotes regular attendance. But Pop does not only teach facts and figures. He wants his students to learn to reason for themselves, and uses a great deal of effort to accomplish this purpose. Those before us who have gone out into the world realize the necessity of thinking”, and are exceedingly grateful to the man who succeeded in training them to think.” A man of keen mind, profound understanding of human nature, and unlimited patience, Pop Millican has endeared himself to all of us. By dedicating our year book to him, we try to show our love and deep appreciation.

From the beginning of our freshman year on. we learned to know and love all the things that make school life rich—the teachers who frightened us hut later became our best friends, the noisy clamour of the halls and the cafeteria, our best pals, and most of all. the hard work which we are now so proud to have accomplished. We’re proud of our officers, too, for Bill, Phyllis, Tommy, and Dean, under the leadership of our excellent sponsor, Mr. Lindsey, have helped to make our last year of school a happy and progressive one. -I 18 F Mary Jane Abdm.l Mary Jane Sweets for the sweet . . . jc parlc Francais . . . her sparkling eyes make all lights grow dim.

The Student Council is an organization composed of the representatives from the student body who endeavor to help improve and exercise democracy in George Washington High School. The Honor Discipline Committee is under the jurisdiction of the Student Council. This committee is the jury which tries and sentences any offender for felonious charges such as cheating and stealing, for misdemeanors such as throwing refuse about, and for misconduct in the halls. All student activities sponsored by the high school are first sanctioned by the Student Council. The Council is not marking time but is steadily advancing by improving its constitution, by establishing and maintaining more sanitary conditions, by encouraging more school spirit, and by attempting to clean up and relieve the congested conditions in the cafeteria. This year, under the guidance of Mr. Hillman and Miss Thrift, the Student Council is an efficient, cooperative group of students of which any school would be proud. 191 V T. B.

Tuberculosis Association The Junior Board of Tuberculosis has done quite a bit this semester toward stamping out the horrible disease. We have sold pencils, Christmas Seals and arc planning a shirt and sweater hop this spring in order to raise more money. We usually have a certain amount of money expected to Ik taken in on everything we do to raise money and have gone over the top each time. The Board consists of approximately JO members, 20 of which are regular members. We meet about once a month in the morning during homeroom period. There is a representative from each homeroom. The officers are Betty Estes, president; Bobbie Taylor, vice-president, and Peggy Schwab, secretary and treasurer. We have also an appointed member to write our articles for The Surveyor. We wish to take this opportunity to thank Miss Higgenbotham for her patience and helpfulness in our organization. J92J- Ouill and Palm . v hint row, left to right: Avii Ktber.

Quill and Palm Honor Society The National Honor Society is what its name implies. It is an organization whose members arc stuJcnts of high standing in all types of school work. They must have a high schclast'c average, and they must be active in extracurricular activities. The list of those with adequate grades is compiled, and the members vote to select those who arc best qualified otherwise. The members of our chapter usually select some project by which they can benefit the school. The members of the group for the semester from September to February selected as their project the collection of money for the March of Dimes, and raising sixty-one dollars. The emblem of the National Honor Society is the keystone and the flaming torch. On the keystone arc the letters C, S, L, and S which represent the ideals on which the society is based. Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service, for which these letters stand, are the four basic virtues that a student worthy of being a member should possess. The keystone symbolizes the high ideals of the society, and the flaming torch is the emblem of our purpose, truth, which we attempt to carry out constantly. 93 b The Surveyor j Founded 1943 Published every ueek by students of George Washington High School, Alexandria, Virginia Printed in the School Print Shop EDITORIAL STAFF OF SURVEYOR S'JlfJ, left to ri bt: Virginia Haith.

THE SURVEYOR Inc present Surveyor was founded in 1943. but the History of our school paper begins much earlier. A small paper, called The S trreyor, was published monthly by the former Alexandria High School. During the first few years after George Washington High School was opened in 1935, there was no paper. Miss Corinnc Reardon, head of the language department, with the aid of Miss Mary Frances Rowe (afterwards Mrs. Varner), journalism instructor, sponsored the movement to publish a paper. It was printed in Alexandria at a great deal of trouble and expense. This publication was not too successful, and so it was thought better to use a portion of the Alexandria Gazette each week for high school news. After the printing shop opened, with Mr. Charles W. Drury as instructor, it again became possible to establish a school paper. A contest was held to select a name, and it was finally agreed upon to continue to use The Surveyor”. The paper was published bi-monthly under the supervision of Mr. Drury and Mrs. Helen Williams, who was succeeded by Mrs. Mary Wisman Kirkpatrick, and then by Miss Irma G. DeVault. In May, 1945, a chapter of Quill and Scroll, the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists, was organized. T je Surveyor, scoring eight hundred points out of a possible thousand, was awarded the International First Place Award by the Quill and Scroll Critical Service. In September of that year the paper came out weekly. A linotype machine was installed, thus enabling the print shop to set all type. The Surveyor joined the Natonal Scholastic Press Association in November, and applied for admission to the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in January. d 95 H Literary Staff .c to right: Phylli I.awler, Avi Anne Baber, Joan I'lcegal, Alice Doyle SfiitrJ: Joan Brown.

There were fourteen charter members, twelve of whom were graduated in June, 1945. Quill and Scroll was founded at the University of Iowa, April 19, 1926, by a group of teachers of journalism who wished to reorganize and to reward worthy high school journalists. To become a member of the society, a student must lx- scholastically in the upper third of his class; must have done distinctive work in some phase of high school journalism; must be recommended for membership by the advisor; and must be approved as being worthy of membership by the society’s executive officer. Quill and Scroll has always taken an active part in raising standards in its field and in directing the course of high school journalism. For its members it publishes a helpful magazine; provides a thorough criticism and analysis of high school papers; and, through the Quill and Scroll Foundation, grants scholarships and loans to worthy students and publishes, from time to time, booklets designed as practical aids. Quill and Scroll desires to make membership an honor that will stand everywhere for the highest type of high school journalistic achievement. •|98|. Literary Activities The hum and buzz of new activities have been ringing through the halls and classrooms of G. V. George Washington High School is again preparing for the State Literary Contests at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. Because of conditions existing during the war, students were not allowed to attend the festivities, but now we are working overtime, polishing up those essays, and putting all we have into plays, poetry, and short stories, because this year we are out to win. The aims of the English Department arc to submit the best collection of original essays, poems, and short stories by students to the group of judges at the University. Teachers have been assembling the best material, and students painstakingly writing and rewriting until it is almost perfect. The search for literary talent is in full swing and is teceiving the wholehearted cooperation of the pupils. The spelling geniuses will have a chance to match their skill in person against other students representing their various districts. The Dramatic Department has been poring over enormous volumes of one-act plays, striving to find the right play, the perfect one, that will show to best advantage the cream of G. W’.’s Dramatic Talent, and yet be a play sufficient in itself to win the unanimous approval of the judges. That is no easy task, but rest assured that it will put everything it possibly can into this work, and try to make it the best play that G. W. has ever produced. And considering such wonderful successes as Brother Goose”, Play Night”, and especially the most recent triumph, lie Couldn’t Marry Five”, quite a bit of hard labor is foreseen. The Dramatic Class also gave its first radio broadcast over Alexandria’s own station, W’PIK, on Valentine’s Day. The students worked in earnest preparing their program and delivered it with both the freshness and spontaneity of amateurs combined with the ease of deliverance of professionals. S 99 J- A Vision It came to me in solitude, at the end of a perfect day, Crept into my consciousness and carried me away. To land of golden cities I was flown on unseen wings. And there I found a palace built by fairy kings. A trumpet blast was sounded, a roll of drams began. The mansion gate swung open to a sight ne’er viewed by man. A mighty hall lay before me 'tween columns of precious stone; At its end, with a golden lyre, sat Orphers on a golden throne! Anon the walls resounded with the song of an unseen choir. Its voice in beauty blending with the tones of the enchanted lyre. I fain would have heard it forever, that sound from an unknown sphere. But, alas! the vision faded and silence filled my ear. And even in moments of reflection, 1 strive to recall that refrain. To capture its pulsing rhythm, to marshal it again to my brain; But always its beauty escapes me, and dances away on air. Though its melody is lost forever, its memory will always be there. Bob Spangi.i r. The above poem was chosen as the best submitted to the faculty judges for the session 1945-1946. •lioob Spelling Staled, left to right: Bobby Smith. Sibyl Grayson.

GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM The Distributive Education Program consists of those high seniors and low junio's who .ire enrolled in the Retail Training Class. They receive one credit each semester for their combination of work and training. These students study related subjects in this class and attend class a half day. The other half day these students arc regular part time employees of stores where they practice on the actual job the skills they have learned in class. All of the class belongs to the Distributor’s Club. The students have social activities and discuss current problems which have a bearing on their work, have outside speakers, and go on field trips. Each spring one student is selected to attend the annual Distributor’s Club Convention in Richmond. These representatives which represent Retail Training Classes from the whole state meet for three days and go on field trips in addition to planning activities for each local club. Many of the students take Consumer Education during their Junior year. The combination of the Junior and Senior years equip students upon graduation to be more proficient in their jobs and helps to prepare them for future advancement. ■J 109 } Mechanical and Architectural Drawing The mechanical drawing department offers a wide range of opportunity to meet most of the objectives of mechanical drawing. The first three objectives stressed throughout the courses are: 1. To develop powers of visualization. 2. To develop ability to read and make working drawings. 3. To give practice in correct drafting room procedure. Both elementary and advanced work is offered in the mechanical drawing department. The elementary course covers the fundamentals and basic principles underlying the reading of blue prints; it endeavors to teach the student not only to read a blue print but to execute a drawing with the skill and accuracy practiced in the best engineering offices. Great stress is laid on the mastery of orthographic projection in courses 1-11 and III. The fundamentals of architectural drawing is covered in drawing IV. DlOh Auto Mechanics I ho automobile is more widely used than any ether machine. It is important, therefore, that high school students should learn something about the principles upon which it operates in order that it may be used with greater satisfaction. I he course in Auto Mechanics is chiefly a feeling out” and informational one. However, continued throughout, it gives a thorough foundation for the trade and a fund of useful information to any one operating a car. The course is set up on an elective basis, a student may elect from two to six semesters of work. The equipment consists of a group of engines, front and rear axle assemblies, transmissions, steering gears, etc., mounted on frames, and three complete running units. The pupils dismantle a motor, study its construction, learn the names of parts, scrape bearings, and grind valves. After the engine has been reassmbled, it is run as a final test. Theory is presented along with this work. Written tests are given, covering the various operations and adjustments. Pupils take down and assemble transmission differentials, steering gears, brakes, front and rear axle assembles. Electrical work is introduced with the study of batteries, generators, motors, and lighting circuits. Various kinds of carburetors are taken apart and studied. •{Ill)- Metal Shop The Metal Shop is set up on a unit basis and offers an extensive course in machine shop practice, forging, sheet metal and band iron work, blue print reading, and casting. The student is taught the fundamentals of machine lathe work on the small bench and the large lathes. Training in the various uses of the milling machine, shaper, planer, and drill presses is also included along with other basic machine shop practices. Study of metals and how to machine them properly along with the proper grinding of cutting tools is also stressed. The students obtain a fundamental working knowledge and acquire skills that may be used to advantage if they choose to follow the machining trade. -I 112 b General Shop The General Shop courses arc fundamentally woodworking classes on a diversified plan, introducing the fundamentals of woodworking, metal work, sheet metal work and handicrafts. Students are given instruction in general home maintenance, such as replacing an electric plug, easing a stuck window, and making other minor repairs about the home. It is basically an introduction to shop work, where the new student may get an insight to all the major unit shops and thus choose the unit of his preference. •urn Graphic Arts Printing is offered as an elective subject and many students take advantage of this splendid opportunity to learn something about an industry that is an essential part of every activity. Every person is a consumer of the product of the printing press in some particular form. The course in printing is intended to teach appreciation of fine printing, and it cultivates in the individual good taste in the selection of printed articles. Many boys choose printing as their vocation after they leave high school because of their association with the industry while in school. The course in Printing is basically built on Typesetting and Prcsswork. From the simple styles of plain composition the student is advanced to tabular work and commercial forms. A working knowledge of locking-up of forms, makcready, and close register press feeding is required of all advanced students. ■( ii4 y Wood Working The main objective of the work in wood shop is to teach boys or girls how to use their hands intelligently through the teaching of the principles pertaining to these several trades, and not to turn out carpenters, pattern makers, or cabinet makers. We are concerned primarily with the following aims: 1st, A knowledge of the whole field of industry; 2nd, skill; )rd, fitness and interests; 4th, aiding boys and girls to discover their individual interest through practical experience. I he projects in wood work cover a wide field, beginning in Woodworking I the students construct book-ends, broom holders, etc.; these simple projects embody the fundamental skills and tool operation needed for advanced work. In W oodworking II and III the students select projects which envolve numerous hand and machine operations. Woodworking is very popular because a student may construct certain furniture which will help beautify the home. X 115 V Fine Arts The Fine Arts Department believes that art is a part of everyday life. We attempt to connect the art lesson with the personal and environmental experiences of the individual, and we like to correlate our art work with the work of other departments in the school. Through experiment with lines, forms, and colors, we hope to enrich our lives. We work with a variety of mediums and materials: pencil, ink, crayon, charcoal, pastel, tempera, clay, water-color and oil. Individual assignments in our fine arts classes far outnumber the few general class assignments. Wc place a premium on originality. Wc strive to teach the students to really see things around them. Our slogan is not Art for Art’s Sake,” instead it is Art for Life’s Sake. 116 h GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Standing: Mitt Lucie l.inJcn. fint row, left to right: Mary A. Roberts, Virginia Huntin, Jane Wallace.

Its members arc highly enthusiastic about music, the results showing in their tone quality and blend. ORCHESTRA Robert Spangler Assistant Conductor The High School Orchestra has made tremendous strides this past year. It has a considerably strengthened string section this year and has achieved a very line orchestral balance. It plays with fine attention to dynamics and musicianship and has evoked much favorable comment. It took part in the Christmas Concert at the U.S.O. and the Spring Festival Concert in addition to playing for Winter Commencement and Spring Baccalaureate services. Many of its members are members of the Alexandria Civic Symphony. HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA First row, left to right: Avis Baber, Ruth Meints, Jimmy Callison, Janet Vaughn, Bcrnic Hammer, John Velke.

First, to give the students interested in pursuing dance work or radio work a sample of some of the demand placed upon instrumentalists in these fields, and to help them get the right conception of playing jazz (which most high school students do not have). Secondly, purely as a recreational and entertainment medium in the school, and to prove that average high school students can make good dance music when it is brought within their scope of understanding and ability. Due to an enlarged instrumentation. most of the music has to be arranged especially for the group. The Dance Orchestra Club made its initial appearance on WPIK, Thursday, February 7. 1946. Cait. Gio.

It is essentially a show or marching band the fall semester because of weekly appearances at football games, and it will accompany the football team to one away game each year. In the spring semester, the Senior Band becomes a concert band in anticipation of the Spring Festival and the district and state contests which will Ik revived this year after four years of war. Musicianship is the keyword of the Senior Band and great stress is laid upon acquainting the student with the best musical literature. Color Guard Ixft to ri ht: CpI. Waters, G.F.; Sgt.

In September we became seven uniformed companies; four boys and three girls, organized into two boy battalions and one girl battalion, and constituting an infantry regiment. The social season included three dances, one each sponsored by the Saber, Liwski, and Chevrons Clubs, and the annual banquet and military ball under the guidance of the Advisory Council. The Rifle Team participated in a number of matches the most noteworthy being the Hcarst Trophy Match. Last year G.W. placed third in the Third Service Command, losing only to St. John’s College and a picked team from the Washington High Schools. This year one of the big aims of the Corps of Cadets is to win first place in this match. The annual competitive drills will be held this year as well as the drills with Washington-Lee. Last year G.W.’s girls. Company G,” defeated the W-L girls while their boys were judged to have outdrilled our Company B.” The winners of last year’s drills were: Best drilled boy company Best drilled girl company Best drilled boy squad Best drilled girl squad Best drilled boy cadet Best drilled girl private Co. ”B” Co.

One of the ways in which a girl can earn a G.W. letter is by becoming a member of the Girls’ Athletic Association. To become a member, you must earn one hundred points. These points can be earned by work in various fields of sports. Meetings of the organization are held once a week and social activities take place once a month. A very successful activity was the Halloween party under general direction of Avis Baber. The money made through this enabled the organization to buy twenty uniforms. The Ci.A.A. organizes volley ball, basketball, and softball teams each year which practice and play against other school teams. The girls of the G.A.A. had complete charge of the school intramurals consisting of volley ball, basketball and softball. There are five officers elected each semester. The new ones are as follows: President Donna Stewart; Secretary, Jean Tully; Treasurer, Marjorie Lyman; Scrgcant-at-Arms, Betsy Peterson; Social Chairman, Natalie Lieberman.

A total of 2 5 lettermen answered roll call. The main order of business was to discuss and take action upon the sale of ads for the football programs, the proceeds to go to the club, who in turn would sponsor the annual Football Banquet and Dance. Successive meetings were held at which times plans were made for the year's activities. It is hoped that another Dance may be held in the Spring of the year. The purpose of the organization is to create more unity and friendship among the lettermen. to create more interest in athletics and aid in every way possible the athletic program of the George Washington High School.

For the first time in the history of the school a cross country team was formed by track coach Thomas Fitzgibbon. Buddy Cirisso and l ed Larsen were the main stays of the team and worked faithfully with the younger and less experienced boys with the thought in mind to add impetus to the track candidates in the spring. Due to the fact that only one other team in this area fielded a cross country team, we were only able to schedule a home and away meet with Fairfax, which our boys won by a decisive score on each occasion. Other schools in this area are now making plans to enter teams next fall along with the District of Columbia. It is hoped that meets can be arranged so that the runners will finish the run between halves of the football games, thus giving the crowds some entertainment between halves. We feel proud of the fact that our school has taken the initial steps in this direction. -{144). Football hint rou, left to right: Jack Worton, Dick Shiplett, Richard Haynes.

One hundred and twenty-five boys responded to the initial call. With the loss of several key boys to the Army services during the summer months, prospects were none too bright. Out of a total of 19 lettermen scheduled to return, only six came back. However the season started off with a 14-0 victory over Mt. Vernon High, who is fast becoming one of our major rival teams. The Dinky Scott award for the outstanding player of that game went to Kenneth Foncs. Out of the 24 lettermen, only Edgar Sims. Wilbur Harrison and Jack Moody are scheduled to graduate. Prospects for next year’s team arc cheerful; and will no doubt make up for this year. F.vcn though the teams have not been successful against W-L, they have, nevertheless managed to keep the Old Oaken Bucket from going into the permanent possession of our arch rivals, by at least tying or beating them every third year. Only one boy from G.W. made the All-High against All-Prep this year. John Blanchard, who helped the Presidents greatly with his excellent passing, was picked to represent G.W. Most of the boys had to be trained all the way and playing this year gave them valuable experience that makes next year’s prospects very encouraging. The season was climaxed by a banquet and dance at which the Varsity and Junior Varsity, Band Members and Cheerleaders were guests of the Monogram Club.

Fifty boys answered the call. Back from last year’s State championship team were: Edgar Sims, Muck” Thomas, Tommy Kelly, and Percy Uhlinger. Boys who since have made the Varsity arc Billy Harris, Billy Rorcr, John Dohner, Donald Weatherwax, and Dick Shiplctt. With Sims the only regular from last year’s team to mold another championship team, last year’s reserves and the new boys have fulfilled every expectation of Coach Doran. The season was successfully started with a bang-up victory over Woodrow Wilson by a 43-28 decision. Eastern and Bullis Prep both caused G.W.’s defeat for the first game. However, the Presidents showed what practice could do and came through with two decisive victories. Losing to W-L in the Fairfax Tournament, the Presidents again came through with a 43-24 victory for the league in our gym. The return game was not so favorable but George Washington had already received the Northern Virginia Championship. G.W. has only been defeated by three teams in the league, W-L, Maury, and Roanoke, while having won eight. Other class A teams defeated were Roanoke, Lynchburg, Portsmouth, and Woodrow Wilson—winner of the Washington inter-high series twice. Even though losing in the Semi-Finals for the state championship to Jefferson High of Roanoke by a score of 62-24, G.W. again showed its superiority by fighting against all its odds. There are five schools in the district who have never won distinction by going as far as the semi-finals in the Northern Virginia League and G.W. is doubly proud of the way she has managed to continued in the fight.’’ The Presidents have had to face many difficulties; but with Muck” Thomas the captain of this year’s quint they have made a great showing and turned out the best possible results. We are all proud of them and look forward eagerly to next year’s prospects. Tense Moments in Basketball Track Squad First rvu. left to right: Kdwird Belli.

With the return of Wilbur Harrison, Captain, Anderson, Grisso, and Hanes along with the newcomers and reserves who are showing great form at this time of the season, great things are expected for the thin clads.” Beginning with the North Carolina Indoor Meet and climaxing with the Annual C” Club meet in Washington, a very interesting and attractive schedule has been worked out. This year’s team will have a high goal to aim at if they are to exceed the records of last year’s team. Herbert Rowe’s time of 9.9 for the 100-yard dash will more than likely stand for some time. Taking second place in the Metropolitan Meet and the Northern Virginia Meet were some of the good performances turned in by last year’s team. A total of five large trophies were added to our collection in the trophy case. If Coach Fitzgibbons’ predictions come true, this year’s team will set a record for all future track teams to aim at.
