Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1952 volume:

The Compass 1952 ■ The Compass 1952 of George Washington High Sehool Alexandria Virginia FOREWORD To you fellow students, we present the 1952 Compass as a picture of the life of our town and school as seen by Pierre, a French refugee. It is joyous and gay, yet mingled with seriousness and responsibility. With you he views scenes which surround our school and make it what it is. May you recognize in this book the sacred traditions of the past and the possibilities and challenges of the future. This Compass is a panorama of today and yesterday. Pausing in the midst of the present, Pierre thinks of our school’s past as a prophecy of the honor that will continue to come to it. And if in later years memories have dimmed and faded, may this annual help you to live again the eventful times at GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH. Table of Contents Foreword Dedication Administration Seniors Underclassmen Summer School ( 1951 ) Departments Clubs 4 6 7 9 33 60 61 81 5 Mrs Carr is known for her kind interest DEDICATION This year it seems appropriate that we dedicate this Compass to Mrs. Virginia Carr, as she came here the same year we did. Tlirough four years she has doctored ' our aches and pains—and often consoled us. We ll always remember the blue Monday mornings we went in for the usual cure-all, an aspirin. Asked what the usual complaint is, Mrs. Carr replied, It used to be upset stomach, until 1 changed the medicine from a peppermint flavor to one a little less appetizing. With her sympathetic personality and her extraordinary understanding of human nature, Mrs. Carr has become a genuine friend to all of us. Well never forget her pleasing smile and gentle ways. Mrs. Carr applies a little color to David White’s eyebrow. 6 This must Ik a knockout class. comments Mrs. Carr as she revives Alan Hclwig. As Mr Pruet is knoivn idliucss MR. PRUET Pierre, we’re very proud of our friendly principal, Mr. Edgar C. Pruer. His kind and warm interest in the students and also in our activities has endeared him to us all. Before coming to us six years ago, he was principal at Pulaski, Virginia. Pulaski's loss certainly was our gain. In 1928. Mr. Pruet left Alabama U. with his B.A. Degree. After studying law for a year, he entered George Peabody C ollege for Teachers where he earned his M.A. It is nice to have a principal like ours, who is enthusiastically interested in the students and their activities. For our benefit he has promoted a very helpful Guidance Department. The yirls especially appreciate his promoting the enlargement of the Home Ec. Department. The l.ittle Hatchet benefited greatly from his helpful advice and backing. His sincerity will be remembered by us all. Michael Cohen continues a G. W. fad by penning Mr. Pruct’s ‘pep card . 7 And our administration for its efficiency MRS. TOLBERT As assistant principal of girls. Mrs. Tolbert faces many varied tasks for she must answer for the conformance and actions of the girls at G. W. Whether you arc-in her office for advice or on the carpet , you will find her to be a friendly, efficient principal and counselor. MR. GARNER Mr. Garner must handle all sorts of difficult situations. He must go to bat” for all of our Peck's Bad Boys and at the same time figure out an effective correction that will serve its purpose. Understanding. diligence, and a dash of psychology arc necessary for success, and Mr. Garner is an apt combination of all three. This is our class history As graduation time draws near, we Seniors look hack over our four years as G.W.-ites and remember the gtxx.1 times we had as . . . brightened Freshmen. Oh, that first confused, bewildering day that we arrived at G.W.! How big and frightening everything ltxiked! We saw our first play, We Sluxik the Family Tree”, and after much practice got to the place where we could overcome the urge to dive under our desks whenever the planes roared low over the high school. After catching our second wind, we elected Tommy Cleary as president. Dot tie Orr as vice-president, and Nancy Faxon as secretary. Saucy Sophomores. With Chuck Motrley as our president, Joan Marsh as vice-president, and Wallace Collin as secretary-treasurer, we sailed into our sophomore year with all colors flying. By that time we had gotten used to the long drawn out Otxxxi when someone drops something in the cafeteria; Mr. Garners cheery, Good Morning, the announcements, when Mr. Pruet was absent; and Mr. Hillman as guardianship of A lunch period. We found out that the medal lie swings on the end of that chain is for the time he shot a hole-in-one. We learned to hx� k forward to the days the Surveyor came out. hoping our names would be in it that time. Yes, by then we were confirmed G.W.-ites. Jaunty Juniors. We started off our junior year with a bang by selling class membership cards, taking orders for class pins and rings, and electing Slurron Trueblood, president; Neil Leverenz, vice-president; Kyra Mosel, secretary; and Quentin Clark, treasurer. During that year we raised money by giving a Christmas Record Hop with a real live Santa Claus. Air raid drills, which always seemed to come when we had our best clothes on, were started. We gave a very successful Junior-Senior Prom and began to look forward to the day when we would become... Satisfied Seniors. At last we had reached the top! And as we l x k back over a fun-filled year, there are many things we remember; Rtxim 317, the Senior hangout; the confusion because of the addition of N lunch; Blue Mondays , due to various things; those senior meetings with Mr. Lindsey telling us about all the money we didn't have; Hamlet and Miss Jones’s Novel Unit ; and Senior Day. Will you ever forget all those fancy costumes we wore on that day and all the fun we had talking over the classes' Joan Scott was elected our ftxitbali queen when we beat W. and L. for the fifth straight time. Remember the comments when we had our Senior pictures made? Is that me?” Oh no! Look at my hair! , etc. Just before the Christmas holidays we got out early because of bad weather—it turned out that the sun shone brightly the next day! We found out that we were a very cosmopolitan class besides being the smallest in the history of the school. We. seniors, represent thirty-one different states and have lived in over twenty-six different countries. Only ninety-nine of us have been here for all four years. Our officers for this year were Roberta McBride, president, and Quentin Clark, vice-president. We became worried about what college or what job we would enter upon graduation and the Guidance Department was besieged by undecided seniors' with cries of. What college, Miss White? or Where can I get a real gtxxl job? In January, those of us who were staying on bid farewell to the January graduates and rushed into preparations for College Night, the Senior Frolics. Last Will and Testament and Prophecy , and the Senior Prom. We ordered our stationery and fitted our caps and gowns. My, but we looked dignified! Now we arc at the final stage. At last has come the long-awaited day of graduation. And with a feeling of regret, we will bid G. W. adieu and walk for the last time down the long front steps. 10 And these are our officers Roberta McBride — President of the Senior Class. Quentin Clark—Vice-President of the Senior Class. Mr. Irving Lindsey — Sponsor of the Senior Class. Roberta McBride, whom we ll all remember for her vivacious personality and happy disposition, led us as our president until Iter graduation in January. We ll long remember her portrayal of Mr. Pruet on Senior Day. When Roberta left us. Quentin Clark took over. With his quiet manner and easy-going personality, he made an excellent vice-president. The seniors learned quickly that Mr. Irving Lindsey, our sponsor, is the students' friend. Many times it was he who gave us the sound advice we needed, especially concerning the financial situation of our class. Jesse Friedmann. Jo Ann Kinkcr, Chuck Mottlcy, On Senior Day Roberta McBride as Mr. Pruet has Joyce I-eisner, and Sara Shirk offer a variety of her pulse taken by Jacque Stratton, while Quentin expressions on Senior Day.

Mr. Raymond Sanger Guidance Department Mr. Raymond Sanger helps a freshman, Diane Brown, with her schedule, just as he helps many more students all year long. Miss Lynnwood Kinder Guidance Department Charles McNctt accepts the generous advice of Miss Lynnwood Kinder. GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT The Guidance Department is a vital part of our school. We have all come into contact with it in its efforts to help us in our high school career. When we were freshmen, it aided us in setting up a potential four-year plan of study. The department was very helpful in suggesting courses beneficial to our vocational interests. When we were sophomores and juniors, we were on our way in dear old school days and the many problems we had were often settled by these helpful advisers. During our senior year we have benefited greatly from their suggestions as to the colleges which would give us the best curriculum to prepare us for our vocation. Miss White's office made scholarships available to us. So you see, Pierre, we certainly want to give a great big thank you' to these, our friends. 62 Through five years of varied education Mr. Robert Funi-sti Distributive lulu at lion Head Distributors’ Club Sponsor Tennis Coach No work anil all play sems to lx- the motto of Barbara Rose.

Co-Sponsor We learned lo tell a noun jroni an adverb ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Now, Pierre, let us take a glimpse at our English Department which is. incidentally, the largest of the departments. For the college-bound student a course is offered which will help to produce results . And for those interested in industry the new alternate course in our senior year is right down our alley . Though our essays may not compare to Emerson’s, we are still pretty proud of some of our work; and many of our poems have been published by the National High School Poetry Association. During our four years we studied grammar (of course) and pored over literature. Twain and Poe became either friend or foe. Shakespeare gave us a quote for every occasion. All in all. we’d say we really enjoyed (even if among groans, at times) the years in which we learned to throw the old English language around. Certainly we could not have achieved this ability without the able guidance of our teachers. Anne Horne, Jimmy Whitestonc, and Judy Miller show bookcovers they have made in Mr. Bagby's English class.

In this department are four definite groups of students. There are those who view math from the cultural angle; those who want to use it in the occupational and trade circle; those who take it for later use in engineering; and those who think it is simply a square subject. The fact that one year of mathematics is required for graduation does not faze most G.W.-ites, and they take additional semesters in this subject. This department offers a wide variety of math: eighth grade arithmetic: general, refresher and senior mathematics; algebra; plane and solid geometry; ami trigonometry. Thus the math department plus capable teachers (minus tests) equals interested students.

LANGUAGE We speak several languages other than English at our high school, Pierre. A student must take at least two years of a language in order to receive credit for the course in Latin, French, or Spanish. Each of the foreign language divisions also sponsors a club. In these classes and clubs the students at least learn to say Buenos dias”, “Bonjour”, and Bona dies” like true natives. Spanish carols, sung by Lawrence Solomon, Marjorie Cody, Fred Frazier, Ann Oliver, and Reynolds Williams, provide great entertainment for Room 228. 76 Had a grand high school career With our aches, pains and Monday blues we trudge into Mrs. Carr’s office.

We don't have to watch our calories because we have a very capable woman to do this for us. Although Mrs. Livingston is not responsible for planning the menu, her task is nevertheless a large one. She keeps a watchful eye on the kitchen staff to sec that our food is prepared and served under sanitary conditions and that the cafeteria is as neat as a pin. 77 t hings run smoothly in our library ami office LIBRARY One of G.W.’s possessions is its fine library. A well-read student is a well-informed one, so here we read all the latest magazines or use the many reference books.

It's no small job to keep up with all the students at G.W. but they do it, and the attendance check isn't their only job. So just settle down, kids, after all, Saturday isn't so far away. 78 Ami parents and teachers meet to talk mover This is the Parent Teachers’ Association, a very important part of our school. During the year, under the leadership of their president, Mrs. H. E. Finnegan, they discussed the projects which they planned to sponsor. One of their most interesting activities this year was Back-to-School Night. All who attended were carried back to the good ole Golden Rule Days.” They were pleased to find the great improvements made since they had last attended. The dollar insurance plan was also under the sponsorship of the P. T. A. Originated for the student benefit, this project has proved very successful. THE P.T.A. Seated: Mr. Edgar Pruct.

This is the group you know the best, Pierre, because it was through their efforts that you were brought to the United States. You shared tense moments as we rushed to meet deadlines, and you chuckled at the way the picture staff and the copy staff were always swapping members. You seemed a bit confused until we explained that the Compass staff is divided into three sections: the editorial, advised by Miss Stuart Jones; the business, under the direction of Mr. Irving Lindsey; and the advertising, supervised by Miss Katherine McElroy. These three sections have worked together to produce this effective annual which we hope you will enjoy.

The members of the club can receive a club pin after working for two semesters. Upon graduation those seniors who have worked for four semesters receive an award, and those who have worked three-semesters receive honorable mention.

THE DANCE CI.UB Although the sponsors aren’t Arthur Murrays or Fred Astaires, they make very good substitutes and the members of the Dance Club always manage to have quite a successful session of music and dancing. These meetings arc held practically every week in the gym during activities period. A club wouldn't be a club without dues, and the dues collected by the Dance Club are used to buy records and pay for special entertainment. Records provide most of the music, but occasionally, our students' band plays for the club. Besides teaching the members to dance, the sponsors try to teach each member self-confidence. enabling him to feel at home on the dance floor. Also another important factor that is taught is how to ask for and receive invitations to dances. Sponsor. Mrs. Mary Moreland; Betty Sanchez, Secretary; George Gross.

For students who like to perform in public or who enjoy music, this club is made to order. Mrs. Mary Snyder and Richard Hutchinson, a blind boy, founded it in 1947. It has encouraged interest in music ever since. Every year we enjoy an assembly put on by the members. Usually they have a special Christmas program. Every spring their program given for the public enables them to raise the money for a scholarship, which they give to the outstanding senior musician. 101 Our interests are varied In order to bring happiness to the cerebral palsy patients, the Hobby Club asked the sch x ! for ail the used Christmas cards available. The response, as you can see, was terrific. Here Bobby Watts, Vice-President; and Judy Crone, Secretary-Treasurer; pack several hundred for the patients under the watchful eye of Miss Gates, sponsor. This club deserves a good deal of credit. Any organization that can bring pleasure to those who are ill, will always be welcome at the doors of G.W. HOBBY CLUB Pierre, the Hobby Club was organized a few years ago by a group of students who were interested in developing a hobby. Today the club under the direction of Miss Christobel Gates is one of the most popular dubs at G. W. Its activities include exhibits, field trips to places of interest which have hobby relationships, and general discussions on hobbies. The purpose of the club is to provide a place for students to discuss and exchange ideas on hobbies, for club members feel that a student can have a fuller and happier life if he has a hobby to occupy his spare time.

F B L A. Organized this year for the first time by Mrs. Watkins C. Smith, the club, which meets every other week before school, already has fifty-six charter members and seven honorary members, who were installed at a special service. F B I. A undertook many projects this year; among them, the Student Bank, which encouraged the students to save; a bang-up Christmas party; a Talent Show; and a spring picinic for the members. Two delegates and eleven other interested members attended the State F B L A Convention in Richmond during April. To produce good business leaders is the chief purpose of the club.

We face the future with warm courage, and high hope. For we have the clear consciousness of seeking old and precious values. For we are the builders of homes. Homes for America’s future. Homes where living will be the expression of everything that is good and fair. Homes where truth and love and security and faith Will be realities, not dreams. We are the Future Homemakers of America. Anne Papageorge.

Scrapbook. 106 And we bareJtin learning to be belter Homemakers F. H. A. Pierre, meet the girls of G.W. who arc our Future Homemakers of America. They arc constantly carrying on unusual activities that contribute to home, school, and community life. Each year a theme is chosen on which the girls base their activities for the entire semester. The theme this year was We Obtain Our Goal by Helping Others . Perhaps the favorite event that took place was the Christmas party given at the Anne Lee Memorial Home for the aged. Here the girls put on special entertainment and refreshments were served by the members of the club. F. H. A. Week was celebrated by planning a different activity for each day during the week. Baking a cake for the mayor; collecting old clothes to send to Korea; making toys for the pediatrics' ward at the Alexandria Hospital; and helping to better their own homes were only a few of the things that were done to help make others happier. The girls will get twice as much out of whatever they put into this club because they are preparing for the homes of tomorrow. F. H. A.

There are three federation meetings held each year for the schools which are included in the Martha Washington Chapter of the F. H. A. G.W. was fortunate this year to be the host to eight different schools included in this district. This was the first meeting to be held at this school since 1950. Patricia Furguson, a Vera Ellen in her field, shows off some of her steps toward future home-nuking at the Federation meeting. 107 In our school Pierre, we're very proud FirsI row: Linda Wood.

Its purpose is to further the solution of community health problems. The members of the club assist the Chest x-ray survey in the school. They believe that no home is safe from tuberculosis until all homes are safe . Not only do these students help out at school, but they also helped sell Christmas seals at the Alexandria theaters last Christmas. One of their favorite projects is sending scrapbooks and cards to an ex-student of G.W. who is now in Blue Ridge Tuberculosis Sanitorium at Charlottesville. Some of their meetings are held at the Alexandria Tuberculosis Office on Columbus Street where they observe at first hand the- light against T.B. The Double-Barred Cross has a Christmas party with Susan Winters, Lorane Lloyd. Diane Maechtle and Claudel Bartlett joining in the festivities. 108 Of our civic i merest, as shown by these clubs Joanne Varner. Treasurer; Kathy Wall. President; Judy Shultz.

Every year a representative is elected from each homeroom. The goal they strive for is service for others. The Junior Red Cross Fund was begun in 1919 to help meet emergency needs in Europe. After World War 1 it helped the Indians of America and sent relief to Chile and Mexico. First row: Carol Nixon. Judy Shultz. Jean Fairfax. Lois Fairfax. Linda W«xhI. Second row: Marcella Painter.

Now, from allegro.” In Room 135 the senior band is rehearsing for one of its many activities. This eager group of musicians participate in assemblies, play at football games, and are in parades. One of the biggest events is the trip they take to the district festival, the first step toward the all-state festival. Then they go to Winchester each year to march in the Apple Blossom Festival. Hey! That tempo isn't largo; it's allegretto, horns. Count five---- THE JUNIOR BAND The Junior Band of George Washington High School is the step before the long-strived-for goal of Senior Band, Pierre. These young hopefuls” have already played in school assemblies and the annual Mother's Day Concert, and they are being considered as the musicians for the June Baccalaureate Service. Under the steady baton of Mr. Philip l.ester, these students learn to play and to appreciate good music.

The A Cappella Choir is composed this year of about twenty girls. This is a choir, Pierre, which for the most part sings religious numbers without accompaniment. Miss Mildred Bane has done a fine job of directing them. The choir's activities show its ability and also point out the fact that it is well-liked. At Christmas the student body especially enjoyed their interpretation of The Sleigh and Winter Wonderland . Twice the group has sung on television; once for the benefit of Jim Gibbon s Country Store, which collects fotxl for needy families; and once as guests on a talent show. They made a recording which, through the Red Cross, was sent overseas. Upon request the girls have sung for churches, and we are looking forward to having them sing at commencement.

Besides the local activities, the club takes part in the state and national conventions at Richmond each spring. All students in the Retail Training classes are members of the local club and the State Distributors’ Club. In 1948. the Distributors' Clubs of America formed a national organization to which each member belongs also. Just as a good product is labeled, so Lorcnc Setliff just can't resist the sales talk of Courtland Martin and Chester McIntosh. is our sch x)l store with the aid of the Distributors' Club officers: Bill Shelton, President; Bonnie Forrest. Secretary; and Sara Shirk. Vice-President. All those in the club spend a minimum of 15 hours a week working in order to receive the full two credits for retail training. They work for various merchants in Alexandria and earn the same wages as the regular employees. As these students are learning the practical side of their jobs, they are also supplementing the book knowledge necessary to put them on top in the business world.

Late in August he began the task of getting a so-called green team, with only two letter men. into shape. The Presidents proved they weren't so green by winning five games out of ten. They never were badly beaten and gained moral victories over St. John's and Hopewell. They finished strongly against Mount Vernon and W. L; and with over half the team to return next year, we can expect a great season. 121 For the fifth straight time WOODROW WILSON (12-6) The Presidents opened their 1951 season with a thrilling 12-6 win over a fighting Wilson team. Wingback Ralph Knee land broke away for a nine-yard reverse to tie the score early in the second quarter.

Both Preston George and Macy Treger played outstanding games and pressed Kneeland for honors. ST. JOHNS (0-12) Handicapped by the loss of Luke Beasly, center, and Harold Outten. tackle, because of injuries, G. W. was unable to stop a powerful St. John's team that later became District Champs, and they lost 12-0. St. John's scored in the second and third quarters on long drives of 76 and 65 yards. The Presidents threatened to score in the second period when they pushed to the Johnnies' 29. but St. John's held at that point. Ralph Kneeland. fleet footed winj; back, who led G.

A 31 yard pass from Sillex to Mottley and a fumble recovered by Newman set up two touchdowns by Sillex. Mickeljon threw a last minute pass to Gx k for a 51 yard touchdown, but Hopewell had iced the game away by scoring twice earlier. THOMAS JEFFERSON (6-20) The Presidents lost their second straight away game to a more experienced Richmond team. The Prexies fought hard the whole game to catch T. J. who had scored on their first play. Brilliant defense by Pope and Treger and several penalties kept the Jeffs within range until they scored again in the final minute of the game. Pope score the long Prexie touchdown after he, Sillex. and Mottley had marched 70 yards with the ball. Ralph Kneeland. Dick Crompton, and Jim Nowland combine to brin.u down a Petersburg haik.

Mottley also scored the last touchdown on a five yard jump pass from Pope. Eggleston and Johnson each booted an extra point.

Sillex moved to the five and Pope plowed over. Gonzaga scored twice on 70 yard drives and once on a blocked punt. 123 We defeated Washington and Lee High JOHN MARSHALL (20-28) John Marshall, led by Allen Barbees brilliant running and passing, stunned the Prexies by overcoming their 20-7 last-period lead and winning 28-20. Pope scored twice on three yard plunges. Pope and Sillex set up the Presidents' final score that Sillex rallied from two yards out. At this point, however, the Prexies’ defense faltered and the Jay-Men scored three times to win. MT. VERNON (28-0) The Presidents, led by E. Y. Walter, returned to the win column by downing the favored Mt. Vernon Majors 28-0. Kneeland climaxed a 65 yard drive when he scored from the 14 on a reverse.

THE GEORGE WASHINGTON PRESIDENTS The George Washington Presidents continued their domination over Washington-Lee for the fifth straight year when they defeated them 7-6 in the 28th annual Thanksgiving Day game. This victory gave us two thirds of our second straight Old Oaken Bucket and the Northern Virginia ftxitball crown. Washington Lee threatened to score throughout the first quarter but the Prexies' stubborn defense held, even at the six-yard line. Box Sillex intercepted a pass and the Presidents, sparked by Mottley, Sillex, Pope and Knee-land. marched 75 yards to draw first blood. Dick Pope, who was playing his last game for G.W., plowed over from the one foot line for his eighth touchdown of the year. Walter Johnson, a substitute from the Junior Varsity, became a hero by booting what proved to be the game-winning extra point. Washington and Lee scored on the first play of the final peritxl when Hobbs tcx k a lateral from Hillenbrand and raced 15 yards to pay dirt but Mallon’s place kick was wide. The entire team s defense was at its peak. Sillex’s interceptions and Tregers smashing tackles continually broke up the Generals’ plays or threw them for losses. The Presidents 7-6 win was the second one point victory in three years. G.W. won 13-12 Macy Trcgcr combines wich an unidentified player to bring down Barbee of John Marshall for a loss. E. Y.

Coach Doran again had his tall team of Junior Hardy, Thin Man Bob Kessler in the pivot, and Les McMenamin sharing rebounds and racking up points. Chuck Mottley and Buggs Oliver were better than ever in setting up plays and sinking set shots. Butch Darely and Bill Morton were his top replacements, but Dan Lehman, Ralph Knecland. Jack Dick, and Lucius Beasley also saw plenty of action. After an opening-game loss to Tech, the Presidents rolled up an eight-game winning streak, before losing to Wilson. All these victories except one were by 19 points or better. The Prexies then started another streak that was interrupted by one-point losses to Glass and W. L. on last minute decisions. G.W. won their remaining scheduled games including a 86—28 victory over Fairfax, their high for the season. In the Star Tournament, the President won a decisive 58—48 victory over W.L. for their twelfth straight Northern Virginia basketball crown.

Coach Ford alternated the starting five until late in the season when he came up with a Fleming. Anderson, Knight, Fulk. and Allen combination. Fleming was the high scorer with an 8.8 average. Frank Marino coached the Freshman and Eighth Grade teams. The Freshmen lost only two of their games. Jim Mottley was their high scorer with a fifteen-point average. The Junior Jayvccs all gained valuable experience that will insure a winning team for G.W. in the future. Kessler adds two points to the Prcxies' score against Falls Church.

To baseball, the national sport Saiuly Brcmmcr Dick R inker Ervin Dodd Alan Helwig Charles Jones King Fulton John Sullivan Crew, the youngest varsity sport in the George Washington athletic program other than tennis, is now starting its sixth year. In 1947, the first Prexie's Crew numbered ten men, rowed one shell that they borrowed from the Old Dominion Boat Club. They rowed in only one race which they won over the Washington Lee Jayvees. This year fifty oarsmen trained on the Potomac every afternoon, rowing four eight-oared shells, some on loan from the Old Dominion Boat Club and some owned by the G. W. Crew Boosters Club. They raced late in April in Alexandria for the Northern Virginia Championship and in Philadelphia for the American Rowing Association Championship. In May they rowed in Washington. D. C, for the National Sch x)lboy Crown. Not satisfied with the rating of second best in the United States last year, our Junior Varsity Crew will go all out for top honors in the Nationals. The crew is coached by Julian Whitestone and his assistant Jack Franklin, whose only pay for devoting all their spare time to the team is watching them win a race. Mr. Franklin, who was the National single oar champ is on the Olympic Committee that will select the team for the U. S. this year. First rote: Phillip Burrows, David bhler, David Hertig.

More than eighty boys answered the call and helped make the 1952 season of the Presidents the most successful of the past three years. The team proved to be well balanced as they started off on the right foot winning by a landslide over Tech of Washington, 69—49. The team was led by Hal Outten in the weight events, Armando Raymond in the broadjump, John Russell in the sprints. Gene Drury in the 440 and hurdles, and Chuck Mottley in the distance races. The team improved its showing in the Alexandria Memorial Relays, the second largest scholastic relay meet in the East, held at our own G.W. Stadium. The boys worked hard all season under Coach Red' Caughron pointing for the big meet of the season, the state championships which were held at Williamsburg. Since many of the boys are underclassmen, G.W. should have successful teams in future years. CROSS COUNTRY Since George Washington's cross country team went through a rebuilding process this year, they did not have an outstanding record; but they did develop men for the future. The team had three meets, two with W.L and the State meet. They split with W.l... winning at home and losing by a slim margin at W.I.. In the State meet, they were handicapped by injuries to key men and didn't fare t x well. The leaders of the team were Charlie Jones. IXrek Adams, Rob Warne, and David Moss. Most of these will return next year, and we can expect a g xxl cross country season. CROSS COUNTRY TEAM First row: Reynolds Williams, Dave Moss, Deiek Adams, Charles Jones. Jess Friedman.

They all have the chance to become members of various teams. The G. A. A. was started ten years ago by Mrs. Jane Gregory for the purpose of stressing leadership along with sportsmanship. To gain membership in the Girls Athletic Association it is necessary to make a hundred points. This can be done by participating in various sports and performing stunts and other athletic activities. I pon becoming a member, each girl is given a Girls Athletic Association Pin, and in her senior year she receives a school letter. The G.A.A. is comprised of about thirty girls, Pierre, who participate in their favorite sport. Although the basketball team wasn't as successful as the volleyball, they made a g x d showing. The volleyball team, winning every game (his season, is number one in the Volleyball League. Like other organizations at George Washington High, the G.A.A. doesn't mean all work. Every year the club has a Christmas party and in the summer they have picnics and beach parties. We re sorry. Pierre, but this is strictly for girls. VOLLEY BALL TEAM G. A. A.

Pierre, where we manage to have a lot of fun while learning how the military works. Would you like to know just what we do during the year? Well, 1952 has left some pleasant memories in passing, memories of events that the corps may regard with pride ... In the beginning of the year, the appointment of the officers and non-commissioned officers and the induction of recruits into the corps provided both work and interest for the older members. Fach recruit must lx taught to drill in his or her unit. The cadet calendar contained a full program of events. Armistice Day brought a dress parade through the streets of Alexandria. Then came the excitement of Christmas and the holidays that are always welcome. As a special send-off for the Yuletidc. some of the more talented members of the corps produced an amateur hour for the rest. It was later presented in assembly to be enjoyed by all of the student body. January brought the Cadet Ball, attended by both cadets and non-cadets at the George Mason Hotel. The queen. Joan Owsley, marched through arched sabers, attended by her court. George Washington's Birthday brought another big dress parade. The twentieth of April saw cadets in dress uniform for inspection by the Army. Apples, apples, apples! On the third of May came the big trip to Winchester for the Apple Blossom Festival. It was a morning filled with fun in a town suddenly converted into a carnival for a day. Then a long parade and the cadets relaxed for the ride home. During the last of May there was another Cadet Dance, even nicer than the first. Spic and span cadets marched proudly through the streets of Washington on Armed Forces Day. They were stimulating and exciting weeks preparing for the big competitive drills, held each year to determine the best private, squad, platoon, and company in each battalion. The close of school ended a full and busy year for the corps. BEST ALL AROUND MOST MILITARY MOST POPULAR Captain Haugh, C. J. Major Dameron, J. A. Captain Noland. J. M. Captain Noland, J. M. Lt.

They carry the National and State flags through the streets during all parades. These weigh about twenty pounds. You'll always be able to recognize the guards even when not marching because they wear white cross-belts. The flags are carried in sockets which hook on to these belts. You'll sec the guards marching between the two battalions, the boys' and the girls’. It is a great honor to carry the National flag, and the color guard requires a salute from all those who are wearing a uniform and polite attention from those who arc not. The salute is the basis of all military courtesies, and is especially important in regard to the National flag. A salute to the flag is a show of respect and affection to our country.
