NURSE Mrs. Shaffer And Now Seniors ft ☆ ☆ m Senior Class Officers History As the end of the year approaches we recall past events and realize what an active and happy time we have had Leading the parade of events was the first day of school and the discovery of the long awaited new wing and cafeteria. Next, came the first football game with T. J. which was played here and ended in a tie. Senior Class meetings and the election of president and vice-president. and later a January chairman, caused much talk and speculation. Maybe It’s Love”, a comedy, was presented by the Dramatics Club and was acclaimed by all. The Thanksgiving holidays came along and were greeted with cheers as was the result of the Thanksgiving day football game, score GW M—WL 7. New on the program was a senior football queen and court. The team was later honored at a football banquet with the Quill and Palm Dance following. Long awaited Senior Day finally arrived and the Seniors took over the school with cries of glee. The next happy event was the dismissal of school for the Christmas holidays. Exams approached and January graduates prepared to leave. Baccalaureate Service came first, followed by a gala Senior Prom and Commencement. Then, a new term began. A marvelous minstrel show was presented by the Music Club. The Juniors treated the Seniors to the Annual Junior-Senior Prom. The Seniors again took the spotlight on their hilarious Class Night. The days slipped by and the June Class had its Baccalaureate Sermon. The enjoyable prom was followed by the June Commencement. and thus our Senior year ended. rj Edward Sheridan President Richard Hutcheson Vice-President CHARLES EVERLY Chairman.

THE JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class got off to a start this year by electing as its officers Kenneth McDonald, president: Luther Gore, vice president; James Gahagan. treasurer, and Ann Sheridan, secretary, who. because of illness, was replaced by Karen Lawler. For a governing body the class had what was known as the Junior Board. This board consisted of a representative usually the president, from each home room. Led by Ken McDonald, the board acted to form all the policies by which the other members were to abide and worked together to outline a program of the events which were to be sponsored by the Junior Class. From this board were chosen committees to carry out these plans. The committees were headed by Alden Packard. Barbara Faxon, and Bill Smith and had as their respective faculty advisers Miss Baugh. Mrs. Montgomery, and Miss Armistead. A budget was formed for the express purpose of financing the Junior Class section of the annual, a gift from the class to be presented to the school next year, and the Junior-Senior Prom which was held in the school cafeteria in May with both the February and June graduates as guests of the forty-niners. The money from a Junior Class membership drive and a Valentine Record Hop was very helpful in augmenting the treasury. As a final touch to an eventful year. Junior Class pins were ordered.

Morton Bregman for vice-president, and Donald Tucker for secretary-treasurer.

The Boys' Glee Club combines with the Girls' Glee Club once a week for mixed numbers and preparation for assemblies and other programs. 60 HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS I’hc High School Chorus has nude the most progress of any choral group this year. Three years ago this group was made up primarily of students looking for an easy credit with little interest in fine music and in the reputation of the Music Department. This year saw the end of an era and the Chorus stepped way out in front in performance and attitude. They have made an enviable reputation for themselves in part-singing, being outstanding in tone quality and blending.

One value of such ensembles is to stress the importance of each individual playing his own part well. Other small groups within the band include a clarinet quartet, a saxophone quartet, and a trombone quartet. 61 ORCHESTRA The orchestra has shown a steady growth and now has a well balanced string section. Members of the orchestra are among the best students in the school and many of them are taking private lesions. Four of them attended the State String Clinic in Richmond where they all earned good places in the group of a hundred. 1 he orchestra plays for the school plays, for the Baccalaureate Sermon and Commencement. They also provided the accompaniment for the Music Department's presentation of the concert version of the opera Carmen and gave a Christmas concert STRING ENSEMBLE The Music Department is justifiably proud of the George Washington string ensemble which was organized this scar String ensemble playing is the highest form of music and these students do a creditable job of plaving They arc in demand for many different functions, having played for the faculty tea. the Open House and in one of the Y.

FRESHMAN STRING CLASS A group of talented freshmen are permitted to leave study hall twice a week to learn viola, cello and bass. This class is the only feeder for the orchestra, and already results are beginning to show in the growth of the orchestra. Some of these students plan to study privately and also to enter the orchestra as soon as scheduling permits. MUSIC CAMPERS These students were members of the five hundred voice choir at Massanetta Springs last June where they sang under the direction of Dr. Archie Jones of the University of Texas. They had a marvelous time, not only in rehearsal but also in the sports activities of the Music Camp, and the Music Department is fortunate that the students desire to extend their knowledge of music under such nationally known directors. 66 FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT Among the most interesting classes offered at G. W. are those in art. Miss Elizabeth Eisenberg. who supervises this department, stresses originality. A great deal of importance is also placed on helping each individual with his special problem or encouraging a particular talent. Most of the students attending these classes do not pretend to be twentieth century daVincis. but they like to experiment with crayon and paint pot for the sheer enjoyment that they derive from it. The large variety of mediums employed include pastels, poster-paint, charcoal oil and watercolor. Most students have a particular favorite with which they produce the best results In addin ng and paint raft and commercial art have more recently been offered. - I papier mache work, block printing, and sculpturing, uh 'mmercial class deals lar. .d poster design These embryo artists ait a gt bool functions a success and are largely responsible for the publicity for our plays, dances, and sports events.

BUSINESS LAW CLASS The course in business law offered in George Washington High School is one of the most inform alive classes taught. No matter what we do or become after leaving high school, we eventually will have occasion to transact some sort of business. It is the fundamental purpose of the business law course to instruct students in the transaction of daily business affairs. The student is not required to memorize an abundance of high sounding law terminology in this class, but is required to understand simple, common sense factors of everyday business transactions. It is our hope that every student will avail himself of the great opportunities offered by this class, making it an essential part of his education. 60 DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The Distributive Education Department is made up of two sections. The first is the group of students who study consumer education. This is a course in practical economics which helps the student to be a better consumer, and get more for his money when he makes a purchase. It gives him a general knowledge of other things with which he deals when he goes out into the world on his own—social security, insurance, travel and transportation. The second group is the retail training class. This class is made up of students who are interested in retailing as a profession. The classroom instruction, which is provided in all phases of the work, is followed by practical experience in stores The students work as regular part-time employees and receive pay at the same rate as other employees. The consumer education class carries one credit per year and may be started in either the first or second semester. Retail training offers two credits per year and must be started in September.

LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club of the George Washington High School held its first meeting on November 2. 1947. at which time officers were elected. Only those who work in the library during the six periods of the day are eligible for membership. The aim of the club is both social and educational in that we feel the need for familiarity with books as well as with people. Our further aims arc to establish a Book of the Month Club and to have a column in the Surveyor entitled Library News. We. who work in the library, find the rules a great help to those who arc new and do not know how to use our library; although in order to maintain cooperation, we hope the students will abide b -those few rules we have laid down for their benefit.

Miss Lucille Keeton, club sponsor, has been ably assisted by the Misses Guill. Torpey. Somers. Reynolds. Parker, and Callahan. oo PLEASURES I have seen the autumn colors Bright against the purple spread of mountain. I have watched the fall fires Burning along the river banks. And have breathed their pungent odor As the clear cold night set in I've rejoiced in the spicy smell Of cooking on an early winter's day My heart has filled with gladness As I held a small child in my arms. I have drawn a breath of sea air That was full of salty tang. And I've played among the rocks Where tiny creatures hide. While standing high on hills. I've felt the cool wind in my hair And viewed the villages below Like a conqueror of old. I've watched an orange ball of sun As it sank to rest behind the tree tops. And I've sped on winged feet Across a clear and frozen pond. I have picked the first spring flowers As I wandered through the meadow. And I've seen the new born calf As first he stood alone. I’ve smelled the sweet fresh earth Cleansed by nature's tears. And I've watched the smoke of chimneys Disappear into the frosty air. I've heard the call of church bells Throughout the early summer days And thanked God that I was free To enjoy the pleasures that he made. lit —Sandra Smith. First Row. Left to Right: Gail Osbourne.

Player's production is a real thrill, not only for the student actor, but for their audience as well. Its first production of the season. Maybe It's Love”, was a real hit with the students and it will probably be sometime before they will forget the teen-age problems of led Littleton and his friends. The play was met with such a reception that many were turned away from the doors. Like the Little Theater groups, the G. W. Players do all the work by themselves from selecting the play to making up the cast, costuming, and staging the production. All the members know that none of this could Ik done without the help of Miss Parker, the director, who has devoted her time to making the productions what they are. A party and dance is given at the end of the school year, where the players present the coveted G. W. pin to the best student actor and actress, the best supporting actor and actress and the two best stage hands of the year. When a player receives his pin. he wears it with pride; for he knows that he has earned it. 82 6J First Row. Lett to Right: Robert Johnson. Virginia Sublctt. Miss Landen. Mr. Lester.

DOUBLE BARRED CROSS SOCIETY The purpose of the Double Barred Cross Societv this vear was to educate the students in the causes and cures of tuberculosis We hope that in the very near fu:- dons can be eradicated from our country. This year the main project we entered was the Christmas seal drive, which turned out successfully, not only because we raised a great deal of none' but because we feel many students here know more about this dread disease. Our organization was composed of representatives from all the junior and senior homerooms. However, we had a few representatives from, the freshman and sophomore classes. Meetings were held regularly throughout the school year under the able sponsorship of Miss Eleanor H Currin.

Under the able and energetic leadership of Mrs. Mary Snider, the members have cheered our teams on to victory in more than one battle on both the gridiron and the basketball courts. On trips to Richmond and the University of Maryland, they have added much to our prestige with other schools. I he officers have done an excellent job in handling the club's affairs and the members are looking forward to many more years of peppy cheering. Here's wishing them luck. ; — PHOTO COURTESY BOB SLOTKIN Athletics ☆ 119 Football ☆ ☆ With newcomer Bobby Hooker and veteran Bob Hanna leading the way. the 1947 George Washington High School football team got under way against a potentially powerful Thomas Jefferson eleven from Richmond. After leading throughout the first three quarters, a G. W. punt was returned for a touchdown resulting in a 6 6 deadlock with our capital city rivals. Against Lane High of Charlottesville, tlx Presidents could do no wrong and wound up with decisive 32-0 victory. The touchdown parade was headed by Bobby Via and Bob Hanna with Hddie Johnson's contribution of long runs and deadly accurate passes. The Mount Vernon Majors were the next to fall before the local's powerful machine. 31-7. Starting slow but ending in a scoring fury the Presidents, again led by Hanna. Via. and Pones, swept through the lighter majors in a last half attack that left the opposition dizzy. 10 Playing for the first time this year in a constant rain, the Presidents' hopes of an undefeated season came to an abrupt halt. 0-19. The heavier Hampton High line gave our forward wall a lesson, while our backs were being bottled up and not given the chance to break away. The punting of Teddy Potts stood out and saved our school from being routed. The Fairfax Rebels supplied the opposition for the next encounter and the locals were off on another victory streak. 39-6. The defensive play of captain Billy Rorer stood out all through the fray while the touchdowns were divided among the hard charging backs and the pass snagging ends. With Teddy Potts' passing and Don Weatherwax and Billy Smith's receiving, the G. W. Team again was on the top end of a 25-0 score. The line came into recognition in this game by bottling up the manv breakaway runners from the powerful Gonzaga Catholic School from Washington. D C. Newport News was the next victim of a victorv-mad local team. 7-6. Although outplayed most of the way. the Presidents came back in the second half to win on Corky Fones' perfect placement with less than four minutes remaining in the game. Again the locals’ winning streak was broken. It happened on the opposing eleven's home field. 13-27. The break away running of the John Marshall backs was too much to solve and two last period scores turned the game into a respectable contest. Not only did the Presidents lose the game, but Don Weatherwax. regular fiankman. was injured and forced to retire from the game. With their eyes on the coming Thanksgiving Day clash with W. L.. our boys easily beat a stubborn Norview eleven. 39-0. Teddy Potts and his passes featured the game, while Bob Hanna's return of the opening kickoff for a touchdown spearheaded the Presidents' attack. After nine years of waiting, the lads from G. W. won the ole oaken bucket' from their arch rivals. W. L., 32-7. This was a game the boys had to win or the bucket would have become the permanent possession of the Arlington schoo! Corky Fones. Bobby Via. Billy Smith, and Bob Hanna stood out all through the game and the G. W. line played as they never had before. It was the first G. W win over W. L. since 1938.

JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL BASKETBALL When the call for basketball practice was sounded in the first week of November, around fifty boys replied with an enthusiastic spirit. Among these were lettermen Billy Henry. Tommy Levines. Jeff McTiernan. and Oopie Duncan. Levines and McTiernan later dropped from the squad in favor of the track team. Shirley Brown and Walter Cable were two new aspirants and along with last year's J.V. material. Reds Hawes. Don Faunkhouser. and James Bibb, gave the Presidents plenty of reserve strength. Football season passed out of view and Billy Rorcr. Buzzy Brown. Jake Dohncr. Billy Smith, and Donnie Hanback reported for cage practice. With Rorer. Brown, and Dohner reporting for their third year of varsity ball along with Billy Smith, last year reserve and Jim Gahagan. a transfer from Byrant High of New York. Coach Doran soon wielded together a hard-driving, fast-breaking quintet.

Stcuart Anderson returning, the George Washington High track squad should prove very troublesome in invitational meets. The Presidents have always been powerful in the track events but again lack that extra punch in the field contests. td Johnson. Arnold Levinson, and Mike Davis should provide some markers in the quarter-mile and relay events. Keith MacDonald, ace high-hurdler and discus thrower, again will participate for the Presidents. Keith won the Southern Indoor High-hurdles and was one of the main reasons for G.W 's winning the Virginia Indoor Track Title in March. Bill Dudrow looms as tin best high-jumper in Virginia and should provide some valuable points during the track campaign. Anderson and Sonny Miller are also aces and two of the best milers in the area. Bobby Jones has tasted very few defeats and can be counted on to place first in any meet. Tubby Dixon and Bucky Packard are the two weight men and may spring surprises this season with W. L. and the other with T.J. of Richmond, the W.I.. meet being at home. The rest are invitational affairs, in which the locals excel. The Alexandria Memorial Relays, the first of their kind, took place April 10 with schools from Virginia. Maryland. Washington. D. C.. and North Carolina participating. too Baseball ☆ With the nucleus of the 194' Virginia High School Group I League Championship nine returning, some fifty candidates reported to baseball mentor Ray Sanger for the first session on March 6. Heading the list of returnees were veterans Bobb Hooker. Buzzy Brown. Jake Dohner. Corky Fones. Billy Rorer. Jim Gahagen. Eugene Fleming and Tommy Pavone Other outstanding members of the Presidents' nine include Bobo Zehering. Arlen Brown. Donnie Hanback- Billy Henry. Tony Daukas. Nookie Bright. Andy Anderson. Lester Scott. Billy Philyaw. Fordie Thompson, and Norman Grimm. Because Lane High of Charlottesville does not have a contending baseball team. G W. has to defend the Northern Virginia Title against Washington-Lee and Fairfax only. Richmond. Virginia will be the guest of the High School Group 1 Baseball Tournament in the latter part of May to decide the state champion. The four district winners will compete at Forbes Field for the coveted crown, which will go to the winner. Seated in Front: ' PuJJin Dombrowcky. manager. Fint R u Left to Right: Corky Fonec.

DAVE GATES THE BOYS' RIFLE TEAM Rifle marksmanship is one of the most beneficial phases of cadet training, for it promotes restraint, muscular coordination and self control. The importance of marksmanship cannot be overrated, for it is a great help during a national crisis and it offers physical benefit to the individual. It is for these reasons the War Department supports the Rifle Team and Club. 1 2 The Regimental and Battalion Staffs Hugh Clarke. Lt. Col. Prances Compton.
