Our book was compiled not only as a record of our Class of 1941 but as a history of the school from its beginning in September 1939. Our book should mean more to us through each passing year, as we turn through its pages and think back on the fine times our class had in working and playing together. It is our sincerest hope that in the future, with the aid of this volume, you may live again the old friendships, activities, and fun that made up the unforgettable days in Granby. -THE STAFF. K' N. DEDICATION BECAUSE WE FEEL His INTEREST in even the smallest event in our school life, because We appreciate his patience With our shortcomings, because We are grateful for his understanding of our problems, because we are inspired by his cultural stimulus and his nobility of character, because we believe that he is the epitome of the spirit of Granby, We, the Hrst graduating class, dedicate this volume of GRANBY 1941 to our principal and friend, LEMUEL FRANCIS GAMES A word filly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

SENIORS +l18IF' f GRANBY GRADUATES Today you face a new world, a world much stranger Than the world you have known, a new door is opened wide A door leading into field yet to be conquered, new lands Yet unexplored by you,' be not afraid, you are young, untried, Strong of will, determined to walk the road to success, Holding before you the banner of ambition, hope, trust, Having but one aim in life, one purpose, one desire The indomitable will to span the bridge, to readjust Your life to that which lies ahead, unseen, your future, Meeting with strength the obstacles that come each day, Carving out of the Rock of Life that which you will leave Behind . . . a character, unblemished, to live alway. Go forth, 0 Youth, with all your dreams and may each one Bear fruit within the Garden of your Great Desire, Fulfilling every hope, each confidence that burns Within your breast today, an all consuming fire. And going, take our wishes, deep, that you will rise To glorious heights of fame, success in what you do, Remembering through your years that we left here today Will always keep a treasured thought of each of you. -CHARLES DAY 4 i DOUGLAS KENT ALISERTSON Gnnnimr.

However, the school took on life and began its existence with the entrance of its students on September 7, 1939. In its first two or three months, many organizations were formed, many activities were started, and in a remarkably short time, Granby had established a f I I 1 5 1 I ' 5 reputation for itself in this section. li fl 95 Among the first organizations formed in Sep- 6 an tember, October, and November, were the Games Literary Society, Q Club, High School Student Club, and football team. The team played its first game against Chester on September 23, but won its first game over Pllizabeth City in October. A group of hard-working journalistic students presented the c 'sT As TABLEAU school with the first issue of TIIPI Srmeiwrou on November 13. With the coming of the holiday season, a student group presented The Christmas Carol in the assembly periods. The next week the choruses and Q Club, in cooperation, presented the Story of Christmas in tableau and music, both in the auditorium, and at the Museum of Arts 1' .gs and Sciences on December 19. The football season officially closed with the awarding of the first letters to our well-deserving team. The school closed in a festive spirit for the beginning of the first Christmas holidays on Decem- ber 22. With the return to school came the first basketball game in the Granby gym-Granby vs. the Red Raiders of Suffolk. Shortly afterwards, on January 9, the Granby Band made its debut. Then came another famous first in the shape of the first Granby-Maury athletic tussle'-a basketball game on the Granby floor. All was going well when suddenly the students scnoonz were subjected to the first exams ever to descend on them in Granby. After the pupils and teachers were adjusted to new classes and subjects, an unusual type of FIRST FACULTY -sl 38 GRANBYS HISTORY venture was planned for Granby. Young musicians from different parts of the State were invited to take part in the first of an expected annual music festival at our school. A fine crowd of talented visitors joined in presenting solos, duets, vocal, and orchestral music in two nightly programs in our auditorium. A week after the festival, on March 7, a group of ambitious boys and girls presented the first Granby radio program over Station WTAR. This was the first in a long series of successful programs presented, in the beginning, just by interested students, and later by the Radio Workshop. Broadcasting figured largely in the history of the school at this time, for in addition to the first student broadcast, WRVA projected over the State news and music from the Music Festival. Then on March 15, WRVA again visited Granby to broadcast. This time students participated in the Columbia School of the Air program, the first part of which originated in New York City. The group carried on an unrehearsed discussion on government ownership and operation of public utilities. COMET SHOW The beginning of April found Granby plunging into a series of exciting events. The Hrst baseball game took place between Granby and Wilson at Portsmouth. On April 18 and 19, Granby sent representatives to Maury, and also received like contestants from Wilson in the State Literary Contest. The contestants won no events, but made a fine showing and brought credit to the school. About this time the whole school threw itself into feverish preparations and rehearsals which resulted in the first well- received production of Granby Comets. In the important month of April, Granby also sent its choice musicians to Rich- mond to compete in the State Music Festival. The students returned with high honors, both for individual and group show- ings. Before the excitement had died down, a group representing the school left for Charlottesville to present lVIake Room for Rodneyn in the State One-Act Play Contest. The parts were filled for the most part by members of the Q Club, and their director was Miss Mary Lee Tillette. GROUP AT CHARLOTTESVILLE On June 7, the first year in Granby's history came to a close. It had been a year full of the proof of the type of spirit that Granby possessed--a type to be found in few other schools. Un September 5, the wheels at Granby again began to turn, and students and faculty returned to face a new year, a year to see the first classes graduate from Granby High. On September f 19, the first meeting of the Yearbook staff took place, at which plans were laid and a plan of attack was prepared. In October, the Granby football team took its first taste of victory over the Suffolk team in what was to .Ar be an unbelievable season. On the same day, a committee made its final choice on a design for the Granby ring. The day, November 16, is one long to be remembered, not only by members of Granby, but probably by most of Norfolk. On that un: or cms day the highly-favored Maury Commodores, GRANBYWS HISTORY in their first gridiron struggle with Granby were defeated to a score of 13-6l High was the feeling of the Granby rooters, and high it lasted through the next week or so, both in and out of the class- room. 'Thanksgiving was also a great day for the Granby football fans, for the team beat Wilson at Portsmouth, 14 to 6. The highly successful season closed with 5 a banquet for the undefeated team in the lunchroom. On December f 6 and 7, the Granby music and dramatic departments combined to X A present the entertaining operetta, Once in a Blue Moonfy A week later a gala banquet took place in the lunchroom in honor of the football team and the first graduating class. So far, we have mentioned our lunchroom only in connection with banquets. However, it is necessary to emphasize the important part which the lunchroom and Mrs. McKimmey have constantly played in the school's life. One of our most loyal Granbyites, she has made many contributions by her unselfishness and ever-present cus' W 'LA' cooperative spirit. On January 10, after much indecision, debating, and choosing, the senior class elected their first Hall of Fame. The victory of the Granby basketball team over Wilson High at Granby on January 18, marked the first court victory in the long, hard course of the quintet. Meanwhile the first mid-term graduating class was making preparations for the most important event in its scholastic history. Caps and gowns were fitted, pictures taken, and class plays rehearsed. Their weekend of activities began on Friday night, January 24, with the class night exercises. On Sunday, the baccalaureate service was held at the school in the afternoon. The class was graduated with full ceremonies on Monday night. The program included music, speeches by the honor graduates, an address by Dean W. T. Hodges, and the presentation of the diplomas by Mr. Games and Mr. Lamberth. Again this year, the Music Festival was held at our school with the same high degree of success. The banquet provided in the lunchroom for the faculty, students, and their guests was one of the outstanding features of the two-day affair. OPERETTA After school on March 4, the Q Club, with all members participating either backstage or on the stage, presented four one-act plays in the auditorium. Their productions were very well received, and two of the most popular ones were repeated during an assembly program. Granby showed its true caliber during the week of March 6-14, when it raised 35308.68 for the Young America Wants to Help Campaign. Due to thc eager- ness of both students and faculty to contribute, it was found necessary to more than triple the original goal, and as a result, Granby turned in more money than any school in the city. As students arrived at school on March 17, a new sight, for Granby eyes at least, greeted them. Lo and MUSIC FESTIVAL behold, a large group of men wielding lawn mowers were busy in every corner where grew a blade of grass. .4 40 Ie. GRANBY'S HISTORY At last, We have a full-fledged lawn not only worthy enough, but old enough to be regularly trimmed! The day March 20, found Granby receiving its first athletic trophy, a perpetual award to be given each year to the winner of the Granby-Maury football tussle. It was presented to the team by the losing Maury coach and will be kept in our school as long as Granby is victor in this annual A Q encounter. Following the receipt of a charter, Granby formed its own chapter of the Quill and Scroll, International Honor- ary Society of High School Journalists. Members of T1-In SPECTATOR and the GRANBY '41 staffs composed the original membership in this school. Another recog- nition of an honorary nature was the announcement of the June class honor roll. James Elkins led his class with Manning Batten and Jane Redford tying for second place honors. Frank Montgomery, Audrey Fountain, and Aulus Allison were the top-ranking students in the mid-term class. Q CLUI As the first of spring was ushered in, a great many Granby students found Pop Goes the Measle to be an appropriate theme song, for quite a few of them unexpectedly saw spots before their eyes, both on themselves and their fellows. Frequent cases of mumps added to the conster- nation of the teachers who saw vacant seats one day where only the day before had' sat apparently healthy, normal students. The past was forgotten though, as Granby pupils indulged in an extra long Easter vaca- tion, an innovation in the way of Easter holidays for us. The annual literary contests again drew the attention of the Games Literary Society members, and a great improvement over last year's showing was made. This year in the two day contest with Maury and Wilson, Granby emerged victorious with its girl reader and its affirmative debating team. This was a just reward for the hard, earnest work done by the contestants. Granby realized a severe loss in athletics when its rnzsenn-non or 'mon-uv four-letter-man, Junie Guy, suffered a broken leg while playing in the baseball game between Granby and South Norfolk. Although he was planning to graduate in , . June, there was nevertheless a great gap in the ath- l letic department. In spite of his playing outstand- ing parts in football, basketball, baseball, and track, Junie kept up his studies and made the honor roll. We are sorry that he will be unable to be with us when we graduate. Of necessity, our record must be turned in be- fore the end of our high school days, but it is up to us to write the conclusion to this two-year history of our school. We hope that we can complete it in such a way as to bring satisfaction and credit to our principal, teachers, and school. --The End.

In the latter part of February 1940, Elaine Dickinson and Linwood Hudgins tried to obtain five minutes on the air each week to broadcast school news. Mr. Eubanks, announcer at WTAR, offered the school 15 minutes, so Mr. Games suggested that a radio club be formed, and varied programs dealing with school activities be presented. The club held its first meeting on March 4, 1940, when Elaine Dickinson was elected president and Martha Jones, secretary-treasurer. On Thursday, March 7, at 7:30 p. m., Granby went on the air for the first time. This past September the group adopted the name Radio Workshop, and Mr. Baker and Mr. Searle of WTAR began teaching a class in radio work. Gradually the members are assuming more of the responsibility for the broad- casts, and with each week the workshop is becoming a more integral part of life at Granby. -01151110 lil. --fi Q .

At the first meeting Albert Smith, with whom the idea originated, was elected president, and Betty Ann Wyatt became vice-president. The other officers were lCarlye Lee Palmer, secretary, Harry VVigmore, treasurer, and Mary .lane Kennedy, librarian. The Footlights Club had at first only 15 members, but many new students became interested the following September, and the membership climbcd to its present level of 60. To give these younger students who are interested in dramatics an opportunity to develop their ability through first-hand experience is the aim of the Footlights Flub. Within the last year the club has presented two major productions. One was a short comedy, In the Sudsf' which was a part of the 1940 Comet Show. The other was a marionette show, Seven at a Blow, on which the Footlights Club cooperated with the Art Club. All in all, the first year-and-a-half of the club's existence has established worthy standards for future members to uphold. A fi if Q 2 Eff ,fs . - i 2 E i Ll President ,,..,...,,.... ,,....,.

The students lucky enough to be elected to offices for the first year were Frank Peake, president, Elaine Johnson, vice-president, Sue Tucker, seeretaryg Billy Armstrong, treasurer 5 and Betty Ward, historian. The first important production was an Armistice Day program. This was followed by the Christmas pageant, which was also presented at the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences. Make Room for Rodney was an outstanding feature of the 1940 Comet Show and Granby's first entry in the Charlottesville One-Act Play Contest. In December 1940, the club had a rare opportunity to shine through the performances of members playing leading roles in the operetta, '4Onee In a Blue Moon. Four one-act plays, two of which were later given in the auditorium, made successful history to conclude the Q Club's second year. -ai 53 la President x,,,,, ,,,,,.A, , ., .,,. llrzrif' Iiulnmn ,Il1I1l0I' ll CllOOl Vir'Pri'1 '1' i' i i' 'iH ' M Secretary A.,.A..A . ..lf!'l'l'I'l!f11ll'Il'l'lljlIL Treasurer ,.,,,, .. . ,ll'iIl'i1' SIJIIIIIJIIIS tudent Club Program Chairm in .,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.A,,,r.

Then in February, several of the first officers went into the Senior High School Student Club, necessitating the election of a new set of officers. Meetings are held every Tuesday afternoon after school when appropriate programs are given. Occasionally parties are held downtown at the YWCA. The purpose of the organization is to build a fellowship of girls devoted to the Christian ideals of personal and social living. l,l'l'Slill'llii ,,,.,,,.,,..,.

MAKE GliANl!X' Hum Senool, cleanliness conscious was the thought uppermost in the minds of the little group which, in November 1939, formed the Loyalty Club and undertook the task of impressing upon the minds of students the importance of keeping the school neat. Allen Jordan, first president, his co- offieers, and fellow members chose a club insignia in silver, blue, and gold. It is an arm band which is always worn when the members are on duty. Members of this organization contributed greatly to the sueeess of the First Musie Festival by entertaining guests in their homes and at the sehool banquet, and has always helped Granby maintain a high standard of cleanliness. In February the duties of the club had become so heavy that the group merged with the Granby Safety Patrol under the name, Granby Safety Loyalty Club. With the aid of their new sponsor, Mr. McAllister, the boys and girls have accom- plished even greater things for Granby. Connnander-in-Chief ..................... ' Uber!

This group of clean-minded, strong-bodied boys and girls does everything from helping the teachers to directing traffic. Patrols are stationed along both sides of thc highway to protect Granby students and especially the children of the primary and elementary grades. At recesses they see that student activity is confined to certain sections of the grounds and buildings, and they are on call at all times for duty in the halls. In the spring of 1940 members of the group attended the National Safety Patrol Convention at Washington, D. C. ln February 1941, thc duties of thc Safety Patrol had increased so greatly that it merged with the Loyalty Club to make Granby more and more safe. afcty Patrol -21 57 If:- f ui .il lililliillli lllllfllltl ii ' President .,...,A, . ,,.,,., Ifoh lhmcr' T u. li, 1 1 H C 1 ll b Vice-President ., H, ., ,. ,.,l'lrlfl Sykes Secretary-Treasui c 1 ,.........

To teach body control and balance are the chief aims of the club. Tumbling develops superb body control as a great deal of skill is required to revolve, balance, spring, and support and move the body in the difficult positions assumed. It also develops persistence as constant and continued practice is a requisite. By way of entertainment the boys gave exhibitions between the halves of several basketball games and hope to be able to do so even more often next year. They also gave an admirable and varied act in the 1941 Comet Show which dis- played their skill and art in a most unusual way. President ,.,,A.,.,...,.. .,,.,....,. I 811111.

It is especially for those girls who have completed the required years of physical educa- tion and for those who have no other opportunities to take part in such activities. The first officers of the club were Ruth Allen, president 5 Jackie Parden, vice- presidentg Elizabeth Woodhouse, secretary, and Edith Duffy, treasurer. The regular meeting date is Wednesday afternoon at which time each girl may participate for an hour in the sport she prefers. So far the work of the club has included organized games, namely: hockey, table tennis, badminton, volley ball, horseshoes, softball, deck tennis, dodge ball, various lead-up games, stunts, tumbling, and dancing. Club members are looking forward to the time when more playing space is in condition and they may start other activities. Then they plan to set up a Point System whereby members, who wish to do so, may work for monograms. -:il 59 Ir:- Granb HI-Y, ' ,,.,,,,, .'N'eIs0n li 'llil 1' President .....,......,. - v ....,,...,,,.B1Il I or Vice-President .,...... ....,...Georga Ilurdy Secretary ,,,,,.A,,, Treasurer .,,, ...,. ........,,..,... l f 'urllon Svay Geo.

The Park Place Methodist Church was chosen as its permanent meeting place. The purpose of HiY clubs everywhere is to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character through the school and community. Members are admitted by vote, and, to pave the way for an honor system at Granby, each member must pledge himself to an honor code. The present mem- bership is twenty-four. As service projects the club has discussed cheating and honor systems. Its recreational activities have included parties, picnics, and a dance at the Town Club, given jointly with the Maury Chapter. Still in its infancy, the Hi-Y looks eagerly to the future with the hope of per- forming a real service for Granby. President. ,.,.......,,,, .......,,,,......

Mr. Cooper was asked to sponsor the club and his presence has been of great value. An unusual situation has existed here. The first officers performed their tasks so ably that they were without exception re-elected for the new term. All boys who earn varsity inonograms are eligible for membershipg and, since the club's beginning, school lettermen have increased the membership until it is one of the largest at Granby. The members strive to improve Granby by improving athletics and by per- forming any helpful services in cooperation with the school administration. Friend- ship among the athletes is another aim. A football banquet and other social events, which were enthusiastically at- tended, have helped to fill the need for group recreation. '-fll 6 1 'XJ President ,..,,A.,.....,. . ,...A,,.

It also aspires to develop a true appreciation of good art. For their major project this year the members chose the ancient craft of marioncttes, and set to work to make the dolls, and design the costumes and scenery. As puppet plays must be simple and preferable comic, one based on the familiar story, Seven At A Blow, was chosen. With the Footlights Club doing the dialogue and the Art Club the construc- tion, the play was presented to the entire school. It was so successful that a faculty member made colored movies of it. The club's minor projects were outdoor sketching, modeling, soap carving, and blockprinting. The Art Club hopes that its future work will be as profitable as it has been in the past.

Its purpose is to encourage stamp-collecting not merely for profit but for the beauty and interest this hobby affords. The club had as its officers the first year Manning Batten, president, Burwell Palmer, vice-president, Jean McClarin, secretary, and Richard White, treasurer. Since its organization, the club has had as its guests Commander J. G. Johnson, a member of the staff of Scott's 1941 Airmail Catalogue, and Mr. R. D. Evcrhart, who has won many prizes for wonderful collections of stamps. For ''Granby-at-Hoine-Day,i members prepared exhibits of first day covers, featuring the Famous American series, the Army and Navy series, and Air Mail Week cancellations which were on dis la in the librar . i Y The Stamp Club has been one of the most active of Granby's clubs and has proved to be most interesting and helpful to its members. -:il 63 12:- --N39 es 4 pc. taff of ranby 1941 If DI T0 lil,-1 L S TA1f'If' Iiclitor-in-Chief .Irma llarflcasllc Associnto-l'Iclit,ors Junf' 1l,1fIUq0I'll 1'vI'!LIIlf .tfllllfjlilllllffjl Art l'Imlit,or Junior limlitnr .Vary .lrmf 'IIIIl0Il'11fj Hviulflllll, Taylor S PU li TS S TA Fl U41-lirlitnrs lfaluvml Guy .lusvph .Yrlsuu If I' S I .Y ESS S T .1 F F Co-Bllsim-ss Mzmzmgvrs Iiilly Sloupn Iiclly Hill .TIIIIIIIITVIQ linllmz, CLEA?

O1tclIEsTuA was organized, on paper, early in the summer of 1939, and when tho bell rang for the first student convocation on Sep- tember 12, the group was ready for its important role of assisting in special and incidental music for the programs which were to follow. It is the aim of thc orclwstra to help keep music on a high plane by presenting good music played wcll. liarly in Nova-mbvr of 1939, the Granby Orchestra presented its first public concert to a large audience of friends and music-lovers at the Museum of Arts and Sciences. Later, at thc Christmas season, a small instrumental group in- augurated the custom of playing traditional carols in the corridors. The Orchestra participated in many firsts g namely: radio, Comet Show, Festival of Music, opt-rc-ttia, and graduation exercises. The orchestra, the string quartet, and instrumental soloists have signally contributed to community and civic ailairs sponsored by local organizations and deem it a privilege to serve. I 3,...T L 2. ,A -as- AY NF' 'ffxgi Q5 Granby Band Turf: BAND has as its principal project the furnishing of music at all out-of-doors affairs such as parades, celebrations, and football games. The gala spot of the 1940-41 session was the appearance of the band in its first uniforms at the Granby- Maury game at Foreman Field on November 16, when the beautiful royal blue coats trimmed in gold and the silver instruments received the admiration of the crowded stadium. In addition to performing at all home games the band accompanied the team to the Wilson game at Portsmouth and took part in the Civic Armistice Day Anniversary parade of the City of Norfolk. The Band also assisted the Orchestra as eo-sponsor of the Second Festival of Music, and will complete the session work with a spot in the second Comet Show. There is a tl11'ill of pride which comes to us all when we see the Granby Band on the march, the glorious eolors of the Flag of Virginia and the Star Spangled Bttlllwl' in front, and hear the stirring notes which spur us on to greater efforts. 67 Dil 6 8 H2- . .W in wail ' as ii ss Granb Chorus IN KEEPING WITH the rather unusual facilities for music at Granby, and with the spirit of music which is a part of its atmosphere, the choral groups in both the junior and senior high school divisions were organized in the early months of the first session, in 1939, and they have contributed to the beauty, harmony, and morale. Many of the assemblies have been made brighter, more colorful, and pleasing on account of the presence as soloists or in groups of the strong, sweet singers of Granby. The 1940 Comet Show featured these choral groups and the 1941 Comet Show relies upon these same choral groups for the musical background so necessary for their success. In both years, Granby was represented at the Richmond Music Festival by soloists and groups and made a favorable impression upon judges and other schools. The first operetta was attempted at Granby in December 1940, and was a musical treat that, as its title implies, comes only Once in a Blue Moon. In more serious moments, the choral groups have added to the occasion at commence- ment with appropriate songs, and to the glory that is Christmas, and the grandeur that is Easter. The names of Hugh Young, Leigh Wilson, Herbert Hutchinson, Ollie May Vines, Bill Robinette, and many others will echo down through the years, the echoes of those who sang at Granby in the pioneer days of '39, '40 and '41. ga. ,0 '6- to lv: o x 5 4 X X 1. f kms ,.. ,.. ff' W .1 W . iashwssw will X fir My fw51z,3?3,, ififi-lid' F. vw ' 'maui-L I wx F , . 3 ' T51 f if ' ai n ik ATHLETICS 1940 Q O0 -ri 72 112-- 1940 l,la'T7'lfIiM HN lfmls: Brinklvygf Sony Whitey H? 7'f11'klr's: Hodggospk Wzmfvrs Ilzmrrls: Nvlsona' Nowitzkygf White-hurst, DF' Whitt-, Nik ' Dm-not:-s strip for sl-cond y0:u'.

Coach William Story, who had been Uradock High School's successful mentor for a number of years, faced the tremendous task of forming a football team out of the C, ,. unknown quantity of mate- rial at hand in three short weeks. Only a few of the boys were experienced in even C'ommunity League football. As a group they were you11g and light, and Coach Story did not know them. The trial and error method was employed in selecting a teanig a boy was tried at a position and stayed if he lived up to requirements or else some- one was found to replace him. NOWITZKV CLEARS THE WAY FOR GUY The Granby football squad did not attract much attention at first and little was expected of them beyond the fact that they should be able to give Maury and Wilson some good battles in a few years. Meanwhile, the Storymen worked hard on their fundamentals in preparation for the first game. Finally, on Saturday, September 23, 1939, tho Blue Comets, as they had papermen of Norfolk, trotted out on the greens- ward of Foreman Field to meet Chester High in the initial game of the school's history. Granby's gridiron gladiators were nervous in this, their baptism under fire, and made some costly mistakes. Although the Fomets held the lead at the half on Gene lCskey's touch- down, another first for wi-lrrznunsr omvmc. INTO neo munsns Gmnbyk rpcord book, and a neat conversion by Junie Guy, the Chester lads came back and took advantage of thc breaks to Win, 17-7. -1:1 75 Its- been named by the news- Football However, their fine showing that day brought Granby the honor of dedicating Hampton High School's new stadium, Darling Field, on the following Saturday. After much ceremony in honor of the dedication, the scrappy blue-clad boys from Granby battled a powerful Hampton team up and down the field and even threatened to score, but the big red line held, and in the last minute of the second quarter, a long forward pass gave the Crabbers a touchdown. The third quarter saw the Granby goal crossed twice more as the sun and a powerful running attack wilted the resistance of our boys. In , I the last quarter, the Hamp- - ton reserves found them- selves in danger as the Comets came to life and began to march. The game ended, however, in a 20-0 victory for the Crabbers. i Elizabeth City, one of Carolina's ranking high school teams came to Nor- folk a week later to play Granby. In Bain Field, on Friday, October 6, the Yellow Jackets became Granby's first victims. John Pusey, Comet wing- man, partially deflected a forward pass into the arms of Jimmy Coleman, who scampered 80 yards for a score. The try for point was missed, but later, in the last quarter, after a gallant line had held the threatening invaders just short of the goal line, Coleman again scored as he took a forward pass from Guy after Martin Whitehurst had set up the play on a series of line plunges. Score: Granby 12, Elizabeth City 0. GRANBY HIGH VI THOMAS JEFFERSON The people of Norfolk began to take notice when the Comets trounced Edenton in a field day for us, making seven touchdowns. Whitehurst and Ford went over in the first half, and then the whole Granby squad helped themselves to a rout as Guy, Dance, and Ware crossed the goal behind the second and third string lines during the waning moments of the game. Score: Granby 45, Edenton 0. The highly-touted Crewe High School team invaded Foreman Field the following week and broke the short winning streak. Although they made more first downs than their opponents, the Comets couldn' t find a scoring punch at the right times and were weak against the accurate passing attack of Crewe who Went away with a 12-0 victory. Thomas Jefferson, of Richmond, played hosts to Granby the next week, and the Class A com- petition proved too much. A fumble at the very beginning of the game put Granby in a hole from which the Comets never could get out. A bad pass from center and a blocked kick gave the Tee Jays another opportunity to score, which they did, and then added insult to injury by completing a beautiful pass and lateral for a 60-yard scoring run. Again the Comets made more first downs than their opponents but again were victims of tough breaks. Score: Thomas Jefferson 17, Granby 0. On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, McGuire's School of Richmond came to Bain Field for .sq 76 Ig.. Football Granby's last contest of the season. On a rain and sleet-whipped field of mud, the Blue Comets pushed a far heavier McGuire's eleven all around the lot in the first quarter to score two touch- downs. The first was by Martin Whitehurst on a line thrust after which Guy missed the kick for extra point. Guy then scored a touchdown and Whitehurst made the extra point on a line buck to give the Comets a good lead. In the second quar- -I ter, the A'Macks reversed the procedure and made two goals themselves. The first was on a beautiful return of a punt by Ben Sheridan in which he raced down the sidelines 60 yards to the goal. He missed the all-important point after the touchdown, however. A series of passes, the final one being from Sheridan to Gruber, gave the Macks another tally. Sheridan, a one-man team, then kicked the extra point and the M. wnrrsnunsr on A TEAR IN Nzwronf NEWS GAME game was all tied up. Dur- ing the second half, both teams battled up and down the field in vain although the Comets seemed to be about to score when the final gun barked. Granby made 12 first downs to McGuire's two but something always failed to click at the proper time. Score: Granby 13, McGuire's 13. Granby's season record showed two wins, four losses, and one tie. In view of the facts this was a very good showing, and the Norfolk sporting public recognized it as a preview of better things to come. The Comets had played heavier, more ex- perienced opponents to a standstill, had fought against bad breaks, and always kept up a winning spirit. Twenty-four mono- grams were awarded to the players and managers on an auditorium program shortly before the Christ- mas holidays, and then attention was turned to SAGNETT Goss ovzn ron MAURY Other Sports- The big year was yet to come! There was a feeling around Granby, especially among the members of the football team that the 1940 season, about to be ushered in, was going to be one of success for the Blue Comets. Coach .QI 7 7 lg.. Football Story called his squad together late in August to issue equipment and to get ready for the training period before the season started. Mr. Howard Murray, a former Springfield College star, was secured to assist Mr. Story. As there were no graduates, nearly all of the lettermen of the previous year reported with the exception of two or three who did not return. However, a nucleus did report and around them the team was built. The Comets presented a heavier, more experienced, and altogether more formidable team than the year before, but the Maury Commodores, by virtue of their State Cham- pionship team of the pre- vious year, occupied the . spotlight in Norfolk. The Comets journeyed to Rocky Mount, North Carolina to meet the vaunted Blackbirds, High School Champions of the State, in the first game of the year. The team did not seem sure of itself, making some of the old mistakes. They again made more first downs, but a beautiful exhibition of broken field running by Luper, of Rocky Mount, was the deciding factor. A pass, Martin Whitehurst to Richard Brinkley was Granby's lone tally. Score: Granby 6, Rocky mount 18. GUY, CROSSING MAURY'S GOAL LINE TO SCORE The Comets returned home the following week to take on Thomas Jefferson of Richmond in the opening game of a double-header in which Maury met Jefferson of Roanoke in the other contest. The Comets threatened the Tee Jay goal again and again but were plagued by hard luck in the way of fumbles on first downs only a few feet from pay dirt. The Tee Jay touchdown was an out- right gift as the kick-off, to begin the second half, was nottouched by a Granby player and was recovered by Bowles for six points. Fortunately, the try for point was bad. Granby came back fighting and pushed over a score to tie the game. An attempted run for the point that might have won the game for Granby was in vain. Although the Comets held the upper hand during the entire game, the final score was: Granby 6, Thomas Jefferson 6. Jefferson, of Roanoke, which held Maury to a scoreless tie the week before, played hosts to Granby on the first Saturday in October. The Comets completely outplayed the Magicians, but as so often in the past, victory was just out of reach when opportunities for scoring were not realized. Bob Dance got off some beautiful punts which kept the home team in trouble, and Captain Guy ripped off nice gains all through the game. The final score was: Granby 0, Jefferson 0. Their play in this game showed the Granby team and student body that they were just as good as anybody in the State. Chester High, which had beaten Granby in the first game the year before, again invaded Fore- man Field, anxious to repeat their victory. The difference of one year, however, was too great, and a powerful Blue Comet team routed the visitors 45-0. Jimmy Head went over for three touch- downs, and Junie Guy, who was the outstanding player of the day, made two more. Mapes, Seay, and Whitehurst also tallied in the field day. -4 78 Ig.. Football The Big Blue Wrecking Crew then marred Suffolk's undefeated record by decisively beating the Red Raiders 14-0. Both touchdowns were made on passes from Guy to Seay. This game showed a new element in the Granby attack, the forward pass, and encouraged the Granby rooters because Suffolk had conquered the Commodores earlier in the season. The next game was played away against Hampton. The Comets completely bottled up thc Crabber running attack and were never threatened. They gained well in mid-field, but their old trouble reappeared, and they couldn't find a scoring punch although one touchdown run was called back by the officials. The final score: Granby 0, Hampton 0. Newport News High next came to Foreman Field as the teams went into the home stretch of the State title race. The Typhoons possessed the finest running attack that the Comets had yet faced and in the struggle that ensued, the Granby boys were glad to come out with a tie. White- hurst crashed over for the Granby score after a series of passes had put the Comets in scoring position. It looked as if Granby was going to break its string of ties and win a game, but Newport News was not to be denied. Ben Clearly, the Typhoon's All-State quarterback, led his team back in the second half to tie the score and threatened to add to the Newport News total. Something seemed to be lacking as the short punt formation found holes everywhere in the previously undented Comet forward wall. Granby 6, Newport News 6. Then came the game that Granby students had been waiting for since the school had opened. The game with Maury offered the Blue Comets the chance to establish themselves and the school by winning over a team that was supposed to win with ease. Tension was high in Norfolk and a large crowd flocked in to see the city classic. Maury showed its power early in the game by march- ing to a score after a fumble recovery. Bob Sagnett crossed into pay dirt for the Commodores from the 5-yard line but missed his try for extra point. Another break, a recovered Maury fumble, paved the way for Granby to deadlock the game in the second period. Junie Guy score the touch- down on his third try from the 8-yard line, but also missed the try for extra point. Maury drove down into Granby territory in the third quarter on passes and threatened again in the final period, but a valiant Granby line held. On an attempted forward pass, the Comet forward wall rushed Bob Barritt, who had sparked the Maury attack, and his pass fell into the hands of Carlton Seay, Comet end, who raced 52 yards for the winning touchdown. Guy made the kick for point and the game ended. Granby 13, Maury 6. In the final game of the season on Thanksgiving Day, the Comets remained unbeaten in the State championship fight by winning over Woodrow Wilson in Portsmouth. Martin Whitehurst scored the first touchdown shortly after the opening whistle on a line plunge after Bob Johnson had set up the play on a beautifully executed reverse. Junie Guy kicked the point after touch- down. Led by Yon, Wilson's passing ace, the Presidents made a touchdown but failed to make the extra point. Granby clinched the game in the fourth quarter on a touchdown and extra point by Guy who was finishing up his career in a blaze of glory. The final score was Granby 14, Wilson 6. Because of the number of tie games which Granby played, second place to an undefeated, untied John Marshall team was the best the Comets could do. The one non-conference game which was lost, was forgotten in the glory acquired later on. T This is somewhat of a success story, and we hope that all Granby teams of the future will be inspired by a team that started from nothing, faced difficulties in every direction, took defeats gracefully, and came back fighting to achieve ultimate success by the only means possible: hard work, perserverance, and loyalty to a cause. .QI 79 lg..

He met this problem and overcame it in a way that we have found to be characteristic of a truly great coach. The boys entered the season with the proverbial two strikes already called against them, namely, inexperience and the absence of tall boys, but due to the fact that they played the game to the best of their ability and when defeat came, met it gracefully, that third strike was never called. Despite the many defeats suffered the boys, we are proud of them, and win or lose, they will always look good to us. The Comets opened the season against an experienced Hampton quint and met defeat 29 to 20. In the following game with Maury, Granby, spurred on by the brilliant defensive playing of George Parker, definitely established itself as a dangerous opponent, holding the powerful Commodores to a scant one point victory. The Comets took the lead in the last minutes of play, but a heart- breaking field goal gave the Commodores a 29-28 edge. The next game saw the Storymen meet defeat at the hands of Thomas Jefferson 32-20. Granby's hopes took a rise in the following game, played against Wilson High of Portsmouth, when the Comets, paced by Junie Guy, came out on the long end of a 21-20 score. Next, the Comets met the always-good Newport News team and lost a hard fought thriller 29-26. Granby's following encounter was with Suffolk High, and once again the hard-fighting Comets were downed 30 to 18. In a non-conference game played against the Gridiron Club, independent champions of Ports- mouth, the Comets, supported by the brilliant shooting of Claude Kilby, defeated the highly favored champions 36-22. Once again the Hampton Crabbers emerged victorious over the Comets, winning 29 to 20. The succeeding trip to the Capital City proved disastrous to the hard-luck Comets. The defeat at the hands of a fine John Marshall team by the score of 30 to 18 was followed by another hard-to- lose game in which Granby lost to Thomas Jefferson 18-15. In the rough and tumble game which followed the trip to Richmond, Granby was again downed, this time at the hands of South Norfolk, 41-28. The ensuing game with Wilson proved equally as fatal, Granby losing the exciting battle 16-14. In the latter of the two games against . .Iohn Marshall, the tricky Justices again em- erged victorious, this time 30-16. The fol- lowing game saw the Comets break into the win column by defeatng the Suffolk Red Raiders in a game of thrills 38-28. As the last game with Maury approached. the hopes of the Granbyites rose due to this brilliant victory over Suffolk, a team which had defeated the Commodores earlier in the season. However these hopes of a victory over Maury were not to be realized, for the much-improved Hopemen emerged victorious, giving the Comets their worst defeat of the season 41-17. The Storymen were not to be held down long and in the ensuing game they handed the prviously victorious Tigers of South Norfolk a 34 to 22 defeat. In the closing battle of the season, played against the excellent Newport News team, the Comets strove valiantly to end the season with a victory, but again were defeated by the small margin of one point. The Connmen got the jump in opening minutes of play and led at the half 24-13. The Comets came back strong in the second half and took the lead in the closing minutes 32-31, but with less than a minute to play, a Typhoon player broke through and scored the winning two eg. points. The game ended 33-32.-Thus ends Granby's second basketball season. G ' ' '5 ' -all 8 3 Ia- Basketball MAURY NOSES OUT! SCORE 29-28 11 84 11:-P A TENSE MOMENT . . .

First, we want to express our sincerest appreciation to Miss Norsworthy, our class sponsor, who has given so untiringly and un- sparingly of her time and efforts. She has worked with us constantly and has been an ever present source of encouragement to us all. We feel that here, we, representing the staff and the class, can thank her for all she has done for us. To Miss Tillette, we are grateful for her work in correcting and editing the Senior Writeups. Even with her numerous outside activities and school work, she has given generously of her vacant bells and outside time in order to check our material. We are indebted to Mrs. McKimmey for her invaluable aid in securing ads from her friends and business associates. She was just as glad to give them to us, as we were to receive them. There were many points in this book to be decided on for a per- manent form in the years to come. Mr. Swain, representing the engraver, and Mr. Rountree, representing the printer, have given us a great deal of assistance and advice along these lines, and we are grateful to them for the large part they have played in the success of our book. We should like to add that they have helped to make the work of an inexperienced staff easier and more pleasant. Another friend who made unusual contributions to our book is Mr. Lee M. Klinefelter. For his interesting photographs of Granby we are very grateful. To our subscribers we commend the firms who have so generously supported this first edition of the Granby yearbook. On many occasions we have gone to Mr. Games and Mr. Lamberth for help and they have always been patient and ready with invaluable suggestions. To them we also express our appreciation. We thank all those who have helped-teachers, friends, and class- mates. Without their suggestions, ideas, and fine cooperation our task would have been very difficult.
