A place for busy bands 1953 COMPASS” Throughout the ages the hands oj time moved ever fortvard. and behind the face of the clock lie see the evidences of the skilled hands of the past; laboring in prayer, hoisting sails, raised in greetings to red men, creating a new land, signing a Declaration of Independence, taking up arms, signing a Constitution, building a democracy, and a school—one of brick, honoring a great man whose hands helped shape our history. Into your hands we are placing this book. At your fingertips are pictures of your classmates, your teachers, clubs, and various organizations. This is a book for you to enjoy: a book full of memories of your high school days. When you thumb your way through it, yon will remember the girl who always had that certain twinkle in her eyes, or that handsome boy who sat in front of you. Oh, yes, and you’ll also remember the teacher whose leading hands helped you over the many humps” in the road. Our busy hands have worked to keep these memories clear and as sharp as the lines drawn by a compass. 6 Page 6 8 9 43 69 69 79 93 115 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS Here is a note from us to you in which we present the theme of the 5 3 Compass. He is the one we hold in highest esteem. At last the proverbial stately seniors” are sitting on top of the world. They are apprentices on the road of learning. They hold the reins and keep G. W. running smoothly. Their capable hands have helped mold our individual characters, and they remain in our memories as being friends as well as teachers. Precision to the strains of Marche Militaire . They are our acknowledged heroes, the pride of G. W. Variety is the spice of life”, and thus the clubs of G. W. offer variety to the tegular schedule which is comparable to the plum in the pudding . These are the yellow pages” of the Compass. Mr. Philip Lestkr DEDICATION The Class of 1953 wishes to dedicate the Compass to Mr. Philip Lester, the second time this honor has come to Mr. Lester since his arrival at G. W. in 1951. Mr. Lester was born in Williamstown, Pennsylvania, and did undergraduate work with Jan and Ernest Williams. He then taught for a year and a half in Camp Hill. Pennsylvania, before he came to G. W.. and his excellent work with the bands and orchestra here gives evidence of his extensive musical background. Probably Mr. Lester's greatest contribution to the sclux)l was composing the Alma Mater” before he left in 1949. to work on his Master's degree in Hagerstown. Maryland. After an absence of one year he returned to continue his services at G. W. until last fall when he left to take a position with the Campbell Music Company. Mr. Lester feels that although he may have no official ties with our school, he will remember with pleasure his days at George Washington High. 8 SENIORS SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ’53 Seniors or Fight! This was our motto as we bustled into the auditorium to hear welcoming talks from the administration on a hazy September morning five years ago. Who were we? Why, very important people of course, because we heralded a new era in Alexandria education. We were the members of the first eighth grade class. Some of us were indignant at not being freshmen, and all were somewhat conspicuous with bright, new books tucked under our arms, but we managed to outlast the year and the teachers and became freshmen as a reward. At last we could achieve that nonchalant air as the tattered and mangled books of our predecessors fell into our hands. Oh, there was no stopping us then, and now we have reached the end of the five years that seemed like an eternity to us that long ago September day. To be able to look down the hazy lane that represents the past and to see all the events that crowd the bends in the road is an impossibility, but some things do stand out clearly. Remember our first dance, the Sophomore Hop, on which we worked so hard, holding our breach all the while for fear the decorations would fall.' They did, but we thought the dance pretty successful anyway. This climaxed the year, and the final reports made us upper-classmen. Now on to new and bigger things. Christmas vacation wrought one of Alexandria’s worst snow storms on the very night of the Junior Class Christmas Hop. but those hardy souls that did dare to venture out enjoyed a gay evening amid the spicy fragrance of pine-boughs. For the Junior-Senior From we chose Rhapsody in Blue” as our theme and turned the cafeteria into a real Blue Heaven with sparkling stars and blue notes twinkling from the ceiling. Again, however, the elements were against us. It rained. Still, even this failed to dampen our spirits or halt our progress, and soon June exams, were a thing of the past and we were official seniors at last. This fact was not to be disputed and in recognition the school was ours for a day. We had recently won the second Old Oaken Bucket in our football career and we were as proud as peacocks. We really made the most of it! Bubble gum and caps were as noisy as the seniors while great quantities of candy disappeared from view. Right on the heels of Senior Day came the turn of the year and we were ’53 Seniors at last. A long weekend was ours at the end of the term with the celebration of the Inauguration to set the spirit for exams. The January graduates t x)k their final bow and the beginning of the end had begun. 'Ilie days flew by and soon sunny dispositions vied with sunny weather. June arrived and with it the Senior From held at the National Airport. The following evening we took the longest, yet shortest, walk of our lives; and receiving our diplomas, we. the ’53 Seniors”, passed into history. 10 Senior Class Officers With officers like these, the Senior Class couldn't help being one of the friendliest ever. Seated: Ann Lee, Secretary; Mr. Lindsey, Sponsor. Standing: Lester McMenamin, President; Tommy Eley, Vice-President. Mr. Irving Lindsey, Sponsor Mr. Lindsey The ’’Big Boss , as Mr. Lindsey could appropriately be called, keeps the senior class from falling (momentarily speaking) by the wayside. Treasurer without question, his rapid calculations of the financial status leaves us breathless and confused but he always manages to come out with the book balanced. Lester McMenamin and Tommy Eley Should you require the services of our class officers, just sing out for Mac , or Tommy, if you prefer. Either way. a tall good-looking guy with a dangerously contagious grin will answer your call. Right away you'll notice the friendly qualities that make him such a favorite at school and on the dance floor or the diamond, and it's a sure thing that his easy going manner will make him a friend of yours too.

Shirley score ! a major victory in Student Council history. Under her brisk petticoat rule , the Student Council has had an extremely active year. Stewart Willis What more could lx asked of a lieutenant Colonel of the Cadet Corps than an apt combination of brain and brawn? Stewart's destiny seems to he with the services, and his military inclination is supplemented with an easy and courteous manner. Joan Bartlett Joan has served as secretary-treasurer of our class, and as her title suggests, is chock full of fun. Although small in size, you'll find she has a large smile and a generous heart. Ralph Kneeland, Lester McMenamin True popularity twins, Ralph Kneeland and Lester McMenamin, tied in three vote-offs for their joint title. Both boys have served as class prexies and both are outstanding in the field of sports. Ellen Meints Ellen, Pal to her friends, lives up to her nickname most satisfactorily. Peppy, fthletic. and Lithe are adjectives that may well he used in describing this senior with the secret sparkle and the saucy curls. Ray Carnahan Ray is worth his weight in gold in friendship's circle as well as in the foul shot circle. Easygoing and fun loving. Ray can usually be found wherever harmless mischief is brewing. Bill Cummings King of comedy and master of frolic. Bill has an impromptu wit that seems to lx his right-hand companion which can always turn a frown to a smile. MOST ATHLETIC: Ellen Meints. Ray Carnahan. Outstanding in Leadership and Scholarship: Shirley Ross. Stewart Willis. Most Popular: Ralph Kneeland. Joan Bartlett. Lester McMenamin. 41 SUMMER SCHOOL GRADUATES James Beall.

EIGHTH GRADE Note the youthful charm? Though we are pictured here as eighth graders, lighthearted and gay, our present status is that of high schoolers, burdened with responsibilities. Moreover, we were the last eighth grade group to appear at G. W., and we are the only class on record with not one-member put back”. (Where would we go?) Now that we are here, whether promoted or placed , we are proud to be members of the G. W. student body and we hope to make G. W. proud of us. Room 122: Rou I: Barbara Kidwcll, Jean Pennington.

Frost inspect the Home Ec Department's new revolving cupboards on Baik-to-School Night.” PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION As parents explored the shop building on Back-ro-School Ni}:ht , Mr. Miller explained auto shop to them. Here he points our a few things to Mr. and Mrs. Gusrav Titman and Mr. Tracy Aitcheson. It is well for students to be careful when parents and teachers get together. In our school, however, the students really profit when the Parent-Teacher Association lends a helping hand. This year our P.-T.A., under the chairmanship of Mrs. H. E. Finnegan, has inaugurated the custom of joint meetings with the Faculty Council. At these meetings, parents and teachers talk over the problems of the students and possible solutions for them. The group insurance plan and Back-to-Schtx)! Night were continued. Helping with the X-rays and furnishing transportation for field trips were other ways in which our parents and teachers worked hand in hand to help solve student problems. P.-T.A. Officers: Row .

PRUET, Principal Hand in hand with progress and a democratic order of school life goes our principal, Edgar G. Pruet. To say that he is respected and distinguished is insufficient. This is indeed a cold description of a man who is admired by all who know him. He has been here at G. V. for seven years and during that time has watched the perspective of the school enlarge along with the annual enrollment. Policies have changed and attitudes with them, but Mr. Pruet has retained his cheery manner and genuine friendliness throughout. Undoubtedly, these qualities influenced his appointment to the Richmond High Sch(x)ls evaluation committee. This committee not only identifies deficiencies in the Thomas Jefferson and John Marshall school systems, but meets throughout the year in order to submit workable suggestions for improvement. We certainly hope that our good fortune in having him as our principal will continue and that bigger and better things will not snatch Mr. Pruet away from G. W. for many years to come. And our Assistant Principals Mrs. Josephine Tolbert No one better personifies the busy bee than Mrs. Tolbert. Site evidently thinks that to work is a virtue as she is always absorbed in solving the countless problems which confront her in the course of the day. In spite of this, she is never too busy to listen to your troubles or share in your happiness. Mr. Robert Garner Mr. Garner could easily qualify as the rolling stone which gathers no moss —as he is always on the go. Engaged in the hundred and one tasks that come his way, it is easy to see that his seemingly tireless energy is linked with efficiency and diligence. 70 Capability come to life Miss Jean White — Mr. Raymond Sanger Miss Lynwood Kinder Miss Stewart Jones— Guidance Director, Fac- —Counselor, Student — Counselor, College Counselor.

GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT Im graduating in June, and what shall 1 do next year, Miss White? ask some of (� . W.'s seniors. While neither Miss White nor any of the counselors can answer that question exactly, they can offer help in thinking through the problem or suggest appropriate colleges or future occupations. In addition to the three offices of the past, there is now a fourth since Miss Stewart Jones entered the department and settled in a nixik behind the filing cabinets across the hall.

THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The English Department is one of the busiest groups, charged with the responsibility of sponsoring yearly all literary activities. As in the other departments, the English teachers are constantly on the lookout for something that will improve the department and help our students to be better prepared for going to college, taking part in business, or simply enjoying life. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The Language Department of George Washington High School offers to its students three years of work in French, Spanish, and Latin. Now that students are permitted to begin their language courses as freshmen, we hope eventually to be able to provide a four-year course in some, or all, of the languages taught in the department. From grammar to Shakespeare it's a busy life for English students. Shown here arc Patsy Howell. Jack Brittain, and Mike Cohen as they examine their peep boxes that illustate Evangeline . SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Another department important to the students at G. W. is the Science Department. It strives to impart to the students a practical knowledge of everyday scientific principles. The department includes such subjects as physics, general science, biology, and chemistry. It has modern apparatus and is continually on the move to keep up with the latest developments. MAIII EM ATICS DEPARTM ENT The Mathematics Department is by far one of the most important in the school curriculum. The elements of mathematics aid the student in his work in both the business and scientific fields. The math department includes all courses from business math to trigonometric functions, all of which are expertly and efficiently taught by an adequate and able staff. Ray Carnahan. Bill Heflin, and Boh Moore have pleased faces when a tough physics problem is finally solved. Top Row. left to right: MISS NELLIE CLAYTON, Library; MISS ELEANOR CURRIN. English.

SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT American government and American history along with civics and occupations are the only required subjects in Social Studies. World history. government, problems of government, and elementary psychology (a means of understanding oneself and his fellow men) are also offered. This department is concerned with a living and challenging world. INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT The Industrial Arts Department offers to the student an education that is applicable to everyday living. In the shop building, courses arc-offered in electricity, auto mechanics, mechanical drawing, woodwork, and printing. The print shop has the responsibility of printing the Surveyor and Little Hatchet . The auto shop students work on their own cars, thus applying the fundamentals they have learned. Maybe we don't understand it but we can try.” says Roslyn Klcinman in this picture. Shown with her are Tito I-euterio and Carol Richardson. 74 Mb. William Hillman. Science. Faculty Council.

The teachers are enthusiastic, and a variety of musical groups are offered. They are the Senior. Reserve, and Junior Bands; A Cappella Choir; Advanced Mixed Chorus; and Boys' Glee Club. Some other melodious groups are the Girls' Ensemble. Boys' Quartet, and the Woodwind and Brass Ensembles. The Home Economics IXpartment is a vocational department in which the home project is important in each unit of work done at sc!ux)l. It gives the student a chance to practice what she has learned at school. Under this program some of the group activities include a luncheon, prepared and served to the parents by the students, and a Christmas tea for the parents and teachers. Tup Rou. left III right: MRS.

DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Working with the merchants of Alexandria and vicinity, Mr. Funesti has brought to L). E. students a worth-while program, and his friendly personality increases their interest in the work. In this fifteen hour a week course they are taught the principles of salesmanship and retailing and the technique of giving congenial service to employers and customers. BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Increased numbers of students enroll each semester in the business education courses. In this department courses that would profit anyone are general business, economic geography, business arithmetic, office practice, and business law. Typewriting is a popular course, as nowadays nearly everyone knows how to type. Some of these subjects prepare students for office positions while others furnish general information.

Here you will find the art students lending their skillful hands to a variety of media and subject matter, from oils to pastels, and from realism to abstraction. The Art Department students illustrate the Little Hatchet and the calendar found in every classroom. Your visit to the Art Department will show you that G. W.'s busy artists arc-enjoying themselves thoroughly in addition to accomplishing ail these things.

Northern Virginia football championship second straight Old Oaken Bucket . The Presidents fielded a strong forward wall and a lightweight but powerful backfield.

After three scoreless quarters. Pat Eggleston scored from the one-yard line for G. W. but Fritz Sandoz tied the game up shortly afterwards. Harold Outten was the game's outstanding player with his smashing tackles and defensive-blocking. ST. JOHNS G. W. lacked an adequate defense against St. John's slick T-formation plays, and they lost their first game of the year 14 0. St. John's powerful defense held the Prexies' offense ineffective throughout the game, and the two scores by Russelvyan and Hawkins in the last half were all they needed to win. HOPEWELL Hopewell thoroughly trounced G. W. 32-0 for their 34th consecutive victory in rhree years. The Blue Devils scored on the second play of the game and twice in the second and fourth quarters, mostly on wide open, long distance runs. 'Flic Presidents' offense was greatly improved, but they lost scoring chances because of a loss on a penalty. THOMAS JEFFERSON After missing on five golden opportunities, the Presidents lost to Thomas Jefferson 0-14. The Proxies' defense was excellent in this game, but their offense missed cashing in on five fumbles and a blocked punt that John Cox carried to T. J.'s ten-yard line. The Jeffs scored twice in the last five minutes on a pass play and an end run. 96 PETERSBURG G. W. was shut out for the fourth straight game by Petersburg 0-6. Once again the Prexies were a potent offensive team except when they were near the goal. Petersburg's score was set up by a 90-yard kick-off return. Luke Beasley was outstanding on defense, recovering fumbles, bltxking punts, and preventing another sure touchdown. Courtesy Alexandria Gazelle Harold Outten (44) moves in to stop Lon Her , brum (33) behind the line; Jini Whitcstonc (at ri.i;ht) helped out. FAIRFAX The Presidents finally entered the win column by defeating Fairfax 7-0. After battling Fairfax to a standstill between the 20 yard markers, G. W. scored in the last minute of play when Tom Mciklejohn threw a 40-yard pass to Jim Whitcstonc. Dick Crompton was also outstanding on offense for G. W. SOUTHERN OF BALTIMORE In the Annual Mom and Dad Night game the Prexies defeated Southern 12-6. Even though Southern did score in the fourth period, first half scores by John Bernhard and Dick Crompton gave the Presidents a lead they never relinquished. G. W.’s offense was greatly improved by the return of Pat Eggleston as shown by the fact that the Presidents equaled the number of previous game touchdowns. Lehman is pulled down by a W. I., lineman after he intercepted a pass. Beasley and Ebert (53) were too late for the play. JOHN MARSHALL G. W. played one of their best games but lost to John Marshall 0-12. Ralph Knccland and Gerald McRae ran well on offense, but the Prexie offense bogged down again when they neared the goal. The game was closer than the score indicates for the laymen's second score came on the last play of the game. MOUNT VERNON The Mount Vernon Majors upset C� . W. for the first time in history 18-13. G. W.'s first score was a pass play from Lee Duncan to Ralph Knccland. The ocher touchdown was by Duncan, who ran off-tackle for ten yards. Mt. Vernon won the game in the second half when the Prexie defense weakened. Two of the Majors' scores were by Roy Daniel and one by John Blunt.

WASHINGTON AND LEE For the sixth consecutive year George Washington defeated its arch rivals, Washington and Lee, in the traditional Thanksgiving Day Game, 14-13. The Presidents played their best game of the year in winning the second straight 'Old Oaken Bucket” and the Northern Virginia football championship. Lee Duncan ran 33 yards and Ralph Atom Kneeland 76 yards for the Presidents touchdowns. Walter Johnson once again provided the winning margin this year when he kicked two very important extra point placements. Tommy Haln and Tom Houston scored Washington and Lee's touchdowns that were set up by a fumble and blocked punt. The entire team clicked, hitting hard on aU tackles and running well on offense.

Over one hundi twenty boys answered the call to spring track. Witl large group of boys returning from last year's fine scji and a number of promising newcomers, the 1953 tr; squad had more depth than any team in the last f years.

The team worked hard and was in top condition for its first meet, the Alexandria Memorial Relays. Charley Ginsberg and Dave Brown in the mile and half-mile; Lee Duncan, Jim Whitestone, and Gene Drury in the sprints and hurdles; John Cox in the weight events- and Dave Wallace in the high jump gave Coach Red” Caughron many pleasant moments.

At the beginning of the year they were hosts at a party given for the newcomers to G. W. Les Mac's Rhythm-Aires furnished the music. The Pep Committee, organized for better school spirit, made the arrangements for the W. I.. • G. W. football game, the bonfire, parade, and confetti party. You could also find the members of the committee, which is open to all the students, cleaning and polishing our treasured athletic trophies. Second semester students heard music in the air in the cafeteria as Student Council representatives spun records over the public address system. This arrangement was made possible by Mr. Pruet's opening his office three times a week for the purpose. Everyone also enjoyed dancing to the music of the Madrillon Orchestra at the Student Council sponsored dances after scluxil. The amendment to the constitution gave the January graduates the opportunity, for the first time, to run for president and vice-president. The return of the honor study halls marked another step in the Student Council's progress. Led by Shirley Ross, first woman president in eleven years, the Student Council has been at the core of a dynamic year.

'Hie theme being “Comic Carnival , the students, dressed as their favorite comic strip characters, had a hilarious and colorful evening.

Selected twice a year on the basis of scholarship and journalistic service, the members combine their talents and wit, go into a tailspin. and come up with the Senior Class Prophecy and the I-tst Will and Testament each semester. The highlight of the year is the Quill and Scroll Banquet held each spring. New members are initiated amid the sparkle of candlelight on silverware, and the banquet concludes with speeches from prominent people in the world of journalism.

One was Journalism Day at American University, and the other was the S.l.P.A. Conference in Lexington, which three of the 1953 stall members attended in April. The two-day schedule of classes and discussions offered many pointers to help the staff improve the ’’Compass' . At this convention Ailsa Mackenzie accepted, on behalf of the 1952 Compass' staff, the Trophy Award, which was presented for the best yearbook entered in the S.l.P.A. contest for schools having an enrollment over ll(X). A little proud of our newly acquired skills in cropping and pasting page layouts and of last year’s N.S.P.A. first class rating, we of the Compass” staff of 1953 will have considered our efforts worthwhile if you are as proud of and enjoy its contents half as much as we have enjoyed compiling it.

'Hie staff Ann Forest Editor. First Semester Nancy Johnson Editor, Second Semester it s a sure thing that you’ll see them in The Surveyor With the efficient advice of Miss Betty Lee Blankenship, and the patience of Mr. Drury of the print shop to sustain them, the staff members started the fall semester with a bang. They were able to feature an exclusive interview from Vice-President Nixon during his campaign tour, much to the chagrin of the Washington papers and the pride of the staff. During the 1951-52 school year The Surveyor won first place in the Quill and Scroll International rating and an honor award from the Southern Interscholastic Press Association. The second semester staff took over with enthusiasm, and consequently The Surveyor took on a new sparkle. The old four-page paper was increased to six pages, new columns made their debut, and more items of interest appeared. The final issue combined all the joy of the coming months with the hectic activities of the closing sc1hx� 1 year, and was the perfect ending to a perfect Surveyor season.

These problems are weighed in each member's mind accompanied with such thoughts as Stevenson or Eisenhower? and Living sure is costly! or What about the minority races and groups? With these questions plus numerous others, the members attend meetings to seek the answers that disturb so many. The club under the sponsorship of Miss Kath-erync Baugh met every other Thursday. Conferences were held during the year with various high schools such as W. L. and Fairfax. The club has developed a growing interest in the United Nations and sponsored a contest, the winners of which received a trip to the United Nations Building in New York.

Stamping and filing cards are the chief duties, but one may also acquire a slightly cross-eyed hxik from watching the clock and signing passes at the same time. After two semesters of service, members may receive their pins; and upon graduation, those with three semesters of service receive honorable mention; while the ones with four semesters rate a special certificate. In addition to work in the library, yearly activities include an annual picnic and field trip. Officers: Row I: Mrs. Mary Seay.

Throughout the year the students in the respective clubs enter the district and State contests. On a tour around the school to visit the different clubs we started on the first fltxir in rtxjm 118. Here we sat in on a spelling bee participated in by members of the Spelling Club. Mrs. Lipscomb is the sponsor of this club and coached the State winner, Don Price. We then went to room 210 and saw Miss Somers, the sponsor of the Reading Club, listening to the State winner in prose reading, Marita Smith. In room 317 Miss MacManus was commenting tin the work of some of the staff members of the Little Hatchet .

Members s x n started work on the fall play. Donned in jeans and old shirts, the stage crew gathered in their favorite meeting place, the courtyard. After scrubbing, painting, and rewiring the stage and props from top to bottom, it was ready for the fall production. Beauty and the Beef , a teen-age comedy. November 21, found the auditorium filial to capacity. The curtain opened on a heartwarming yet sparkling comedy which proved to be a smash-hit. To celebrate this success, two big parties for the cast and entire crew were held. In January and February the club was busier than ever in preparation for March events. Two productions were in progress, the Literary Contest play, which was an intense-drama, The Bond Between , by Mae Howley Barry and the annual three-act play, Melody Jones , presented later in the season. And so, a wonderful year in drama, the busiest and best since the club was founded, came to a close. Ellis Davis, Lynn Thomas.

This year the Junior Red Cross is composed of a Junior Council, comprised of representatives from each home room, and a Senior Council of members who are willing to take the responsibility of the leadership of the club. The two main objectives of the Junior Red Cross are to conduct a membership drive and to fill Christmas gift boxes to be sent to children in foreign countries. Their infectious enthusiasm inspires the (i. W. student body to lend a hand in making a bright Christmas for boys and girls less fortunate than themselves.

Believing that no home is safe from tuberculosis until all homes are safe , the members helped out during the X-ray surveys at sch x l by lending capable hands to such jobs as typing the name cards needed for the records.

Although it is possible to learn almost everything from the soft shoe to the minuet, most folks stick to the waltz, jitterbug, and other popular dances.

MUSIC CLUB I hear music, I hear melodies.” Yes, no doubt you do for music resounds continuously throughout the halls and chuckles in the lockers. Who's responsible? Well, perhaps it's the chorus, and maybe it's the band, but it's a sure thing that somewhere between jazz and Bach you’ll find the Music Club. It makes no difference if you warble like a nightingale or a tree frog. If you have any interest in music, the Music Club is made to order. If you don't chtx se to take a place in front of the footlights, you can have a high time behind the scenes, and we guarantee that you'll enjoy being in the Music Club. Sally Fulton.

A small enthusiastic group, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Watkins Smith, quickly arranged for renewal of the charter, adopted by-laws, or-dred F.T.A. pins, planned projects for the year, and arranged interesting programs. Election to membership in F.T.A. is an honor and. like all honors, carries responsibilities as well as opportunities. Members pledge to try to keep themselves well and strong and their minds active and alert. They seek to know the right and to live by it; to cultivate gtxxl will, friendliness. poise, upright bearing, and careful speech; and to learn the art of helping others. Row I: Floy Bullock.

Martha Fulcher and Sally Salts, who have captured the district 'Miss F. H. A. for the past two years; and of their members, who qualified for the Junior Homemaker F. H. A. Degree. The activities were many and varied. On Election Day in November, they sponsored a student Presidential Election. They sponsored a bake sale for extra funds and also held their yearly Christmas party for the ladies at the Anne Lee Memorial Home. There was a spring dance and in May, a reception for parents and teachers at which the new F. H. A. officers were installed and the Outstanding Girl award was presented. Row I: Deanna Kendrick.

Members spend leisure hours sharing their hobbies and many active ones doing constructive work in the interests of others. For instance, a call went out shortly after Christmas for Christmas cards. These cards were made into scrapbooks which arc now providing a spot of color in hospitals somewhere in the United States. The Hobby Club is a grab bag of fun. Should you reach in, you might pull out one of any number of interesting hobbies: photography, model making, collections of all descriptions, magic, and raising pets.

Any G.W.ite may deposit money in the bank any day during the school year. On the lighter side, the F. B. L. A. sponsored a dance and a bake sale and worked hard to make their year a successful one.

The club proposes to teach leadership and cooperation among the students and furnish entertainment for those who work after school and who wouldn't otherwise be able to participate in extracurricular activities. In addition to the regular dances, hayrides. parties with neighboring Distributive Education Clubs of Virginia, and an Employer and Employee Banquet, the club sponsored a unique-series of dances on November 25 and November 26. The dances were held in the cafeteria during the activities pcritxls. As the purpose was to lend a helping hand to needy families of Alexandria, the price of admission was one article of non-perishable ftxxl per person. Members were in attendance at the Northern Virginia Distributive Education Clubs’ convention held in Winchester in February, and in March a member of the club attended the State convention in Richmond.

They spent long hours practicing new cheers and songs and improving old ones so they could lead them at football and basketball games. Our cheerleaders followed the band and team to games as far away as Petersburg and Richmond, as well as to various others not played on our own court. There are two squads of cheerleaders, the varsity and the junior varsity, and both work hand in hand with the Pep Club to promote school spirit at all games. J. V. Cheerleaders are chosen every February on the basis of their ability to cheer, moral standards, personal appearance, and coordination. After one year, they arc eligible to become varsity cheerleaders if they show the necessary ability. Marge Silcox, Mary Kirkland. Becky Baldcrson, Jo Ann Hamlet.

MAJORETTE CLUB Under the able leadership of Mrs. Grace McGilvray, the Majorette Club has come a long way since it was organized at the beginning of last year. The club consists of about thirty girls who are interested in becoming majorettes. They meet once a week for practice sessions and every club morning for a business meeting. The club's interest in school activities has sparked many plans. A few of these were a junior corps, who will take the place of the marching majorettes when they graduate, an exciting Valentine’s Day Dance, and brand new uniforms for the marching majorettes.
