Butch Johnson, Peg Griggs, Gil Lorenz, Kay Barret, John Ham, Sondra Morrissey, Chuck Trexler, and Barbara Slayton, incoming seniors, ushered for the class of ’58 at their graduation. The processional of the first graduating class, June 12, 1958. On June 12, 1958, the first graduating class of Groveton processed into our auditorium to receive their diplomas from Mr. Chesley. This action climaxed about three weeks of commencement activities, the first of these being the Junior-Senior Prom held May 31, in our gymnasium. The theme for Commencement Week, “You are the First,” was presented in the Baccalaureate Service, June 8 , in a message given by Reverend William E. Basom. In addition to diplomas, deserving graduates were also presented with various awards. Some of these were, the Faculty Award, to the senior who had done the most for the school; and various Departmental Awards to students who had excelled academically in a particular subject. To the class of 1958, “You are the First,” not only reminded them of the many “firsts” they had con¬ tributed to Groveton’s growing tradition, but it pre¬ sented to them a special challenge, one that cannot be presented to any other class, but one that all suc¬ ceeding classes may live up to. Mr. Harold Ford represented the school administra¬ tion of Fairfax County. Page Four You Are A Part! You are the happy chatter that per¬ vades in our hallways between classes. You are the hungry lines in our cafeteria. Yours are the lusty voices ringing from Groveton grandstands. You are the gay spirit of our social events. You are the energetic supporters of our activities. But most of all yours are the minds eager for learning, challenging our teachers, and striving toward higher ideals. In you is formulated the achieve¬ ments of the past and the successes of the future. In this third issue of Tigerama, the staff endeavors to show that just as each piece is essential to complete a picture puzzle, so each of you is a necessary part of our school. Without you, there would be a missing piece; a puzzle minus a piece creates no picture. We invite you to view this wonderful school, to review your activities, to look back at your achievements, and to find your place as a piece of the picture of Groveton High, for You Are the Spirit That Is Groveton! - MS - _■ See Where You Fit In! Page Five Page Six A first piece to a puzzle is always the most important, for it is the be¬ ginning of the formation of all other pieces. So is instruction. Acquiring knowledge is the very basic reason for any school—the foundation upon which it is built and the broad horizon to which it expands. Grove- ton students come here to search for knowledge, enhanced by a com¬ mon, yet diverse education, and an ever-broadening program. To formulate this ideal, students are offered a variety of subjects, from Physics to Home Economics, in all, forty-four subjects are of¬ fered for the student’s choice. Here at Groveton boys and girls are offered three types of diplo¬ mas—Academic, Commercial and Vocational—thus meeting the needs of each individual. As each student participates in classroom activities, his ideas and character are developed and he is an actual part of Groveton—an ac¬ tual part of a working organization devoted primarily to unfolding all the potential abilities of her stu¬ dents. Classroom Activities Library Provides for Research and Reading Enjoyment Shown helping in the Library office are members of the S.P.T.A. Library Committee: Mrs. Izzo; Mrs. Mays; Mrs. Mark, Chairman; Mrs. Kevan; Mrs. Wynkoop; Mrs. Herrick. Not Shown: Mrs. Lindberg and Mrs. Varela.

Third Row: Francis Welbom, Diane Moore, Joyce Taormina, Marie Sager, Peggy Howard, Rebecca Rider, Stephanie Saylor, Sandra Morris, Carolyn Flaitz. Not Shown: Pat Cuicci and Jean Denbo. The quiet atmosphere of the Library encourages careful study. Looking for some information? Interested in books for pleasure? The Groveton High Library added 3,000 new volumes just this year. This makes a furthering of careers interest, reference work necessary in scholastic pursuits and personal enjoyment and satisfaction avail¬ able to every student. Over thirty-eight student assistants comprising the Student Librarians Club help in the main operation of the Library, assisting students in locating information, and processing new books. The club is organized with officers, Jeane Denbo, President; June White, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Sandra Morris, Secretary; Pat Ciucci, Reporter. A cabinet, Jackie Luse, Sandra Morris, Mary Breen, Diane Moore, Erika Wagner, Lillian Hayward, and Beth Arbo- gast. The club is sponsored by Miss Hutcherson. Miss Hutcherson and Mr. Lutz work diligently to offer the school the best of library facilities. Page Eight Students Served by Helpful Counseling Mrs. Cohen, Mrs. McPherson, Mrs. Keesee, Mrs. Gentry, Mrs. Owen, Mr. Davis, and Miss Clovis, Groveton’s counselors, meet to discuss methods of student guidance. Need help in choosing your courses for next year? Are you puzzled about a choice of college? Any Groveton student with ques¬ tions concerning his school life may get help with the answers in Groveton’s Guidance De¬ partment. Seven counselors and many student help¬ ers work to keep records of each student, or¬ ganize courses, and find time for personal interviews. They guide 8th graders to encourage a start in high school and continue with until as seniors, their college applications are processed and they are steered toward a well-planned future after graduation. The Guidance department sponsored both a school-wide career week and college day for juniors and seniors. Alan Stevens, Pam Warden, Mr. Rooks, Judy Mallory, Mary Rose, Bob Department, put up a Guidance Hulletin Hoard on scholarship. Mr. Nichols, Jesse Smith, and Mrs. Hamman, who also help in the Guidance Rooks and Mrs. Hamman comprise the Senior Scholarship Committee. good them Helpmg to keep the Guidance Department running smoothly are: Bruce Asai, Bob Mamula, Rebecca Davenport, Pat Johnson, A1 Altizer, Ray Munday, Maureen Harris, June Spicer, and Annette Quaintance. Page Nine English Aids Development in Self Expression . . . The Shakespearian Theatre seems to interest Bill Pickering and A1 Pasquali as they examine a Senior bulletin board. Amy Degan calls out the spelling words and Susan Bradley and Jan Brown concentrate on getting them right. Mrs. Dolozik demonstrates the power of expression to her Dramatics class. Ever since one general said to the other, “Do you say the enemy is coming or the enemy are coming?”, stu¬ dents have been studying English. Every member of Grove- ton’s student body is required to take English each year. Beginning with English I and continuing through Eng¬ lish IV, Grovetonites explore English grammar, practice creative writing, read the works of literary masters from all over the world, and gain a good speaking vocabulary in their home language. Perhaps the theaters of the world will be recruiting their players from members of our dramatic and public speaking classes of our English Department. Students in the dramatic groups learn the ropes of the theatrical world; the public speaking classes discuss the world situation and often try to solve it—in flag-waving speeches of course. Pat Taylor diagrams a difficult sentence. Page Ten . . . while Social Studies Encourages Citizenship. What happened at Waterloo? Where is Timbuctu? What is Congress doing today? Since Groveton is located in the middle of history, both fnade and in the making, 840 students are taking advantage ' of a better-than-average opportunity of training in social studies. Every graduate of Groveton is required to complete three social studies programs—one each of United States and Virginia History and Government and another of either civics, World Geography, or World History. In-the-classroom projects are boosted by means of a movie projector, film-strip projector, maps, globes, charts, bulletin boards, and, new this year, an opaque projector. Field trips were also taken. Forty members of the American History classes traveled to Williamsburg for a view of that city and reconstructed Jamestown. Another day was spent by representatives of the government classes in visiting Congress in Washington. Carol Twig, Robert O’Mara, and Emily Leonard read current events for their Social Studies classes. wewsweeies . WMOt-fHI-MOVttl i.«- JIM MU 1 1 ' .!!

X = a broadening field of concentration and Y = 1263 Groveton students. X -f- Y = Groveton’s Math Department. Math is studied in its various forms all four years of high school beginning with the simplest eighth grade arithmetic, all the way up to the most complicated analysis problems. This year the Math Department was the proud possessor of two hundred and fifty-two eager students studying Eighth Grade Math, one hundred and thirty-seven busy freshmen taking Math I and three hundred and ninety covering Alge¬ bra I, forty-four bright sophomores taking Math II, two hundred and thirty-one studying Algebra II, sixty-two students pouring over Business Math, one hundred and eight work¬ ing hard on Plane Geometry and also seventy- nine brave seniors concentrating on Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, and Advanced Al¬ gebra. Math students were inspired by the many interesting speakers who gave talks during Career Week. Toward the close of the first semester, a physicist, Mr. Murray treated Mrs. Stine’s trig students to a concise ex¬ planation of the slide rule. This problem in Advanced Algebra seems to puzzle even Tom Davies and Bruce Bensettler. Page Twelve ... as a Foundation for the World Around Us. Challenges in the world of Science are made available in laboratory classrooms to our students starting with a one semester course of General Science in the eighth grade and ending with a full year course in physics for juniors and seniors. In between, these the 681 future scientists cover General Science I, biology, and chemistry. They peek in test tubes, dissect insects and work with electricity—all building on previous knowledge to explore the fascinating unknown. This year eighteen physics students visited the VEPCO Electric Generator Plant to parallel their study of electricity. Last summer the science department offered courses in biology, chemistry, and physics to interested students. These classes are planned again for this summer.

Page Thirteen Grovetonites Prepare for the Field of Business Jean Ragen Oliver, Joan Jenkings, Joan Clark, and Gay Whited practice their ability on several types of office adding machines. Mary Fenton practices the art of cutting a stencil. In clerical practice, Paul Wease and Dorothy Staats acquire skill in using dictaphone machines. Patsy Miller Hunt and Pat Pilkington operate the mimeograph machine. How would you like to be a typist, a clerk, or a private secretary? These are good jobs and 640 Groveton students are being well trained for them in our Busi¬ ness Education Department. Courses in Typing I and II, Short¬ hand I and II, Business Math, Book¬ keeping I, and Clerical Practice are of¬ fered to students from grades nine through twelve. The classes are held in rooms well- equipped with manual and electric type¬ writers, dictaphones, and other essential office equipment. These advantages give students actual experience on the ma¬ chines that they will handle on their jobs. Page Fourteen Members of a V.O.T. class prepare themselves for future jobs. V.O.T. Combines Studying and Job Experience. Jean Bowler’s work is checked by Mr. Newton, a Cotton Technologist for the Agriculture Department. Any senior with an over-all “C” average who has completed the first year of his “skill” sub¬ jects such as typewriting, shorthand, and book¬ keeping may enroll in Vocational Office Train¬ ing. In this program, students attend morning classes at school and work on a part-time basis in the afternoon. Because of this arrangement, it is necessary that an interested student have suf¬ ficient credits so that he would not need to take more than four subjects. During the morning, eleven V.O.T. students study office conduct, office procedures, office machine operation, English, and Government, then leave for their various jobs in the afternoon. It is necessaiy for Mary Via to handle various types of office machines while at her job at the Alexandria Armature Company. Lorraine Sonner, a clerk-typist, works with her employer, Mrs. Mildred Hendry, a resident agent for an Insurance Company. Vd c Fifteen A Variety of Occupations Offered in the D.O. Program Diversified Occupations is a cooperative pro¬ gram whereby about twelve students attend their regular academic classes, including a D. O, class, in the morning, and work for a minimum of fif¬ teen hour s a week on a job in the afternoon. In order to qualify for entrance in the pro¬ gram, the student must have completed a mini¬ mum of eight credits, be sixteen years of age, and possess an aptitude for his chosen job. Thelma Opperman’s studying paid off when she won the spelling contest at a District D.O. Club meeting with a perfect score. Members of the D.O. Class concentrate on their morning studies. Page Sixteen Five Hundred Students Learn Industrial Arts Any student interested in drawing and design, graphic arts ceramics, leather, textiles, electricity, metal, wood, and plastics is sure to find the course he is looking for in Groveton’s Industrial Arts Depart¬ ment. These crafts are studied by more than five hun¬ dred students in terms of their tools, materials, pro¬ ducts, processes, and occupations courses in Explora¬ tory Industrial Arts, participated in by 8th graders; General Industrial Arts I, 9th graders; General Arts II, 10th graders; and Metal Industries I, Wood In¬ dustries I and II, and Mechanical Drawing I and II, open to juniors and seniors, are given at Groveton. The courses are studied in industrial laboratories, which provide exploration and experimentation. David Pierce and Donna Vance finish laying out their plates with the aid of “T” squares. George Aylor practices his operation of the metal lathe. Mr. Haslett explains the Graphic Arts Industry to his class. Covert Williamson mixes his clay in preparation for form¬ ing his vase. Page Seventeen The Touch of the Talented Judy White, Allen Stevens, and Sandy Voges work on a mural large enough for three, while Mike Williams decides whether or not to join in. Cutting potato stencils to form unusual patterns with paint are Bonnie Greene, Julia Miller, and Quam Rice. Contrary to the opinion of most people, art class is not only for drawing pictures! Eighth graders study the fundamentals of art for nine weeks. During high school in Art I, II, III, and IV, a variety of subjects are studied including d esign principles, color, art appreciation, commercial art, ceramics, history of art, painting, and mosaic tiles. This year Groveton has one hundred sixty-four stu¬ dents developing their talents in the field of art. Gail Cavalier, June Rutledge, Judy Hicks and Marie Henson do the ground work on a large poster. Page Eighteen Music Fills the Air Members of the 8th grade Chorus include —First Row: Betty Cox, Jeanne Hillgoth, Alexis Leaderman, Virginia McElrece, Anna Bassford, Linda Bennett, Sandra Legge, Marsha Manning, Nancy Mayol, Bonnie Weaver, Jane Yearnan. Second Roiv: Margaret Basley, Sarah Fraley, Carolyn Roland, Beverly Zam, Dolores Huff, Karen Johnson, Barbara Graham, Carol Cushman, Linda Kleinman, Judy Hinkle, Lynn Shapiro, Lois Merrifield, Jacki Cramer, Janie Baker, Eileen Loefler. Third Row: Gretchen Triplett, Diana Sutherland, Sharon Price, Sandra Sanford, Linda Carr, Phillip Quick, Robert Lightner, Raymond Miller, Lynn Forthofer, Barbara Harmon, Robert Howes, Alice Hayward. Fourth Row: William Reid, Raymond Street. Barry Norfolk, Neil Cate, Beverly Naylor, Robert Ficke, Dickie Phillips, Mike Stith, Duane Treeman. Accompanying them is their sponsor- director, Mrs. Ring. “There’s music in the air” in the west halls of Groveton where students toot their horns, beat their drums, or simply sing to their heart’s content. Almost 300 students take part in the choral and instrumental music department. In the choral department, the eighth grade chorus made its debut at Christmas and appeared again in the Spring Concert. All other grades participate in the Girls’ Chorus, Mixed Chorus, or Symphonic Choir. ■ Some eighth graders are instrumen¬ talists too, so they enter Reserve Band which is designed to train students for work during high school in the Golden Tiger Concert Band, whose members participate in sectional class lessons once a week. Trombonists Jinx James, Bob Sargent, Mike Usher, Peter Larson and Bobby Parker pose during their Instrumental Class Lesson. Sandra Collier, Minnie Lou Davis and Judy Hall accompany the Groveton Choruses at their public performances, as well as during practice. Wanda Becker, Carol Cate, and June Ellsworth learn the art of graceful serving. Every girl needs a course in homemaking— just in case. At Groveton 177 girls take part in this program where potential homemakers gather skills for their hope chests. To the eighth grade girls an exploratory course is offered which lasts nine weeks. Other classes participate in Home Ec. I, II, and a com¬ bined group of third and fourth year students. By using the most modern electrical equip¬ ment available the girls practice the essential skills for every homemaker—sewing and cook¬ ing. Aromas in our halls confirm this! In preparation for vocations after gradua¬ tion, girls touch on such varied subjects as nu¬ trition and dietetics, child care, and interior decorating. The Home Economics Department is also a service to the school in that it is a place where groups of a professional or social nature can be entertained. For study purposes, the department includes a living room, bedroom, and two large kitchens. Diana Dewey, Pat Banigan and Barbara Callahan enjoy their cooking class. Eating what they prepare makes it twice as nice. Carol Ernst and Diane Lyons spruce up the Home Economics Depart¬ ment living room. Girls Gain Practical Experience in Home Economics Miss Caricofe lends a hand with the fitting of Margaret Munson s dress which she made in Home Ec. Page Twenty Ring around the language tree; here at Groveton there are three. The fun and practi¬ cality of speaking a language other than your own has been discovered by over 479 students in Groveton’s Language Department. They study a variety of subjects from four years of Latin, French or Spanish down to a General Language Course in the 8th Grade containing a basis in each of the three. Students cover grammar, vo¬ cabulary and, in the modern languages, such every day necessities as the form of a letter, the numbers and pronounciation. Anne Marie Hiebol, Gil Lorenz, Violet Olson, Louisa Frank, Bobbie Robbins and Earnest Williams meet at Gil’s car for their trip to the Moray Fren ch Opportunities in Three Bill Taylor seems to be amused by B. J. Knight’s Spanish exercises. Fagc Twenty-One Eighth Graders Acquire a Basis for High School When an eighth grader enters Groveton, he is kept busy with a full schedule of sub¬ jects, as each of our three hundred thirty- four members of that class is discovering. Half his school day is spent in Esso—English, Social Studies and Orientation—in which he is introduced into the high school environ¬ ment. The other half day is spent with a selection of subjects including science, general lan¬ guage, a nine-week course including three weeks each of Latin, Spanish, and French; art; Industrial Arts; Home Economics; and General Math. This year ninety members, chosen by recommendation of their seventh grade teachers, are substituting ninth grade Algebra I for the regular General Mathe¬ matics course. Wesley Pryce, Doug Megenity, Mike Stith and Nancy Mayol sing in their eighth grade music class as Mrs. Ring plays. Sandra Legge and Sandra Sanford locate State Capitals during their Esso class. Completing his map of the United States is Bobby Howes. An eighth grade class learns to think and to form good study habits. Page Twenty-Two Health Builds Better Citizens Physical Education classes, which are re¬ quired of everyone here at Groveton, except special cases, develop not only healthy bodies but also teach a comprehensive health pro¬ gram offering such valuable skills as artifi¬ cial respiration and first aid. Realizing that the body must be de¬ veloped along with the mind in order to avoid a one-sided program, Physical Educa¬ tion students take part in basketball, hockey, archery, calistenics, weight lifting, and track. Besides participating in the respective Girls’ and Boys’ Sports, occasionally, both boys’ and girls’ get together in the Gym for dancing and volleyball in a popular activity known as “Co-Rec.” “Flea” Cox demonstrates artificial respiration on Frank Packer as David Fritsche, Bill Brit and Charles Jaynes look on. Hope Nolan and Sandra Shelton change off in a square dance while their partners Robert Mang and Larry Quick wait their turn. Hula-Hoops even invaded the Physical Education classes as shown by the talented performance of Charles Jaynes and Bob Stegall. The girls taking Physical Education fight hard to win during their class basketball games. Dennis Harn clears the hurdle in Station 3 in a flying leap while classma tes and Mr. Hess lend encouragement. Page Twenty-Three Pane Twenty-Four In the cooperative hands of our administrators the puzzle is molded. In them rests the responsibility of supervising the many operations necessary for the smooth, efficient functioning of our school. During his years at Groveton, a student benefits from his association with teachers who are interested and concerned in helping students cope with their problems. Under the able leadership of our principal, Mr. E. W. Chesley, Groveton has grown in size and prestige. In this position as an un¬ tiring executive, Mr. Chesley merits a wave of applause from both fac¬ ulty and student body. He is ably assisted by Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Love, and Mrs. Gentry. The eighty members of the Groveton faculty are each indivi¬ duals—people who truly delight in the American way of life. We feel fortunate, during this time of con¬ troversy, in having a school to at¬ tend and in having such an able staff to guide us.

We are guided by them and they, along with the School Board, have worked and planned to keep Groveton on top. This year the School Board was confronted with the problem of our athletic field. Appropria¬ tions were finally made which provide for the long-awaited drainage system which will make our field available for athletic contests and the physical education program. Plans have also been made to install a cinder track. Groveton will then be the only school in Fairfax County fully equipped with a track. What more could the School Board do to increase Groveton’s spirit? The Fairfax County School Board, Mr. Robert Davies, Mr. Hillis Lory, Mrs. Schools; Mr. Clyde W. Gleason, and Mr. Merton S.

We would like to express the appreciation of the entire stu¬ dent body to the organizations who have done so much for us. We are indebted especially to these adult organizations which are so closely related to our school. The Tiger Boosters, the Student-Parent-Teachers Association, and the Band Boosters, composed of many of our parents who work hard to secure benefits in their particular fields. Mrs. Mary Becker, Mrs. Dorothy Williams, Mrs. Helen Moore, and Mrs. Helen Babb serve faithfully in their office capacities. S.P.T.A. OFFICERS: Vice-President, Mr. Maurice Herndon; Secre¬ tary, Mrs. Thelma Raybold; Treasurer, Mr. Leonard Lorentzen; and President, Mr. William Lyons. Mrs. Louise L. DeFrancis came to us in March to take Mrs. Moore’s place in the Student Control Office. TIGER BOOSTERS EXECUTIVE BOARD—Front: Mr. Bob Marshall, Treasurer; Mr. Frank Mawyer, Vice-President; Mr. Eric Bramley, Reporter. Back: Mr. Jack Hoover, Mr. Don Frye, President; Mr. Jim O’Brien. Page Thirty-Three Meet the Friends Behind the Scenes Mrs. Mary Painter, Mrs. Hazel Smith, Mrs. Nora Messick, Mrs. Myrle Welsh, and Mrs. Jimmie Barnett, busily prepare lunch for the day. Can you imagine keeping house for 1500 children? This is done by some re¬ markable people at Groveton. Every day the custodians, under the supervision of Mr. Weeks, clean and restore order to seventy classrooms. They have estimated that each day twelve bushels of paper are carried from the classrooms. Although their jobs are often compli¬ cated by clubs, sports, and educational groups, the custodians always provide clean and orderly rooms for the first period classes. It is also necessary to provide food for this large family. The cafeteria helpers, headed by Mrs. Byrd, are called upon to provide lunches for three lunch shifts daily. To do this requires seven ladies in the kitchen, and approximately $7200 as one month’s operating expenses. Little do we realize how much work is put into keeping our school a clean and healthful place, and a word of thanks should go to our custodians and cafeteria helpers. Mrs. Jimmie Barnett and Mrs. Sarah Hall serve lunch to hungry Grovetonites. Mrs. Clara Byrd, cafeteria manager, counts the day’s receipts. Mr. Weeks repairs one of the estimated 34 lights that burn out in Groveton each day. THE CUSTODIANS— Seated: Mr. Thomas Harrington, Mr. Robert King, Mr. Herman Weeks, Mrs. Sadie Hargon. Standing: Mr. James Shipp, Mr. Walter Bambling, Mr. Charles Anderson, Mr. Clarence Beeks, Mr. Jewell Jones. Students Assist Administrators In addition to the academic classes of the day, many Groveton upperclassmen have incorporated into their schedules a period called “office.” This entails much more than is implied. Nearly fifty stu¬ dents have the responsibility of working in one of the four large offices in our school. Mrs. Babb has a force of helpers dur¬ ing each period, before school, and be¬ tween classes who are in c harge of the school store. Some of them also help her in her job as financial secretary. Guidance, student control, and the main office have the largest number of student helpers. Their varied duties in¬ clude sorting the mail, answering tele¬ phones, carrying messages to all parts of the building, distributing absentee and cut sheets, and running of errands. There can also be found student as¬ sistants in the clinic, monitors in the halls between classes, and junior and senior boys who drive our school buses. It is easy to see that student helpers play an important part in completing the picture of G.H.S. Mrs. Williams is assisted in the main office by Kathy Miller, Jimmy Pettit, Jean Oliver, Steve Pusey, Mary Fenton, and Joe Davis. The Bus Drivers, Bill Neitzy, Jack Hoover, Leslie Saunders, Mrs. Nancy Wilke, Nathan Smith, Bill Baker, Paul Dent, Paul Hughes, Harold Embrey, and Kenny Camp, transport many of us to school each day. Mrs. Babb’s office also houses the school store. Karen Snider purchases Groveton High School pencils from Joy Simms and Gloria Sisson, fourth period helpers. The Hall Monitors leave each class 2 minutes early to insure safe conduct in the halls. First Row: Gil Lorenz and Joe Folz. Second Row: Tom Davies, Win Bilisoly, Jim Flinchum, Robert Mamula, Kenny Gorden, and Stephen Rhode. Mrs. Moore and Mr. Gibbs are aided in the Student Control office by Bobbi Dahl, Eddie Skillman, and Miss Welsh—third period shift. Page Thirty-Six As a puzzle must fit together, so must individuals live and work to¬ gether. It is toward this end that Groveton’s extra-curricular pro¬ gram is directed. It is important for a school, not only to develop the minds of its students, but to build character as well. In attaining this goal, Grove- ton continues to offer opportunities unlimited-opportunities for stu¬ dents to share common interests with others through clubs, oppor¬ tunities for students to present plans, carry out projects, socialize, and practice the prerequisite of good citizenship, and opportunities for getting along with others. In the process of development from boys and girls of today into leaders of tomorrow, students are elected to hold offices and posi¬ tions of the various organizations. They learn that in overcoming ob¬ stacles they fit themselves for ma¬ turity and happiness. In striving to do their work well, to win games, or to bring credit to themselves, their school, and their families, the students build the heritage that will become the Groveton High School tradition.

Groveton’s answer to a democracy, our SCA, got into full swing again this year. With Barth Reller presiding, a Cabinet to act as a steering committee, and a House and Senate composed of students elected by their respective home¬ rooms and classes, the SCA guided the student body through another successful year. The Committees started the year by polish¬ ing up the teachers, as each was welcomed with a shiny, red apple. On August 28, the annual picnic for the faculty and their families turned into a cook-in instead of a cook-out, as the weather took the upper hand and the teachers scurried for the cafeteria. The holiday season brought out each homeroom creativity, as they competed in a school decorating contest for the first time. February 22 began “Let’s Be Neat Week!” During this time Groveton took on a new look as everyone stepped out of a band box. Homecoming weekend, our magazine cam¬ paign, the CARE campaign, the March of Dimes drive, and the Leadership Training Program were other SCA-sponsored projects. One of the biggest projects of the year was planning to send a student to Europe. Bob Hansen, one of the sixty chosen from the whole United States, will represent Groveton as an exchange student.

Cheerleaders” Jim Flinchum and Bruce Bensettler give their captains Bobbi Dahl and Pat Frye a lift at the Magazine Kick-Off Assembly. Larry Pittman, secretary of the finance committee, carries an award for Groveton’s out¬ standing participation. He opens the safe door for members of the committee; Jim Tattersal, Dick Bramley, and Charles Von Rosenburg on their way to deposit profits of the successful campaign. Subscription money pours in at a S.C.A. check-in station. Groveton kicked off the annual magazine cam¬ paign by tossing a subscription ball into play at an all-school assembly. Since the time paralleled football season, the theme chosen was “Pigskin Panic.” Captain Pat “Kuckles” Frye and co-captain Jim “Flossie” Flinchum led “Pat’s Punters” as the winning team with a score of nearly $5,000. “Bobbie’s Bruisers,” captained by Bobbie “Duke” Dahl and co-captained by Bruce “Bernadine” Bensettler came in second best with $4,800. The teams combined scored enough touchdowns to benefit Groveton with $3,104.31. Groveton carried the ball farther than Mt. Vernon or Lee, but did not quite score her goal of $10,000. Many of the players scored more than their $7.00 yardage, but even with that support the old Black and Gold was ninety dollars short of the final touchdown. Those students who showed the Groveton spirit by selling their quotas were rewarded with a “Football Frolic” record hop at the close of the campaign.

A monthly calendar and a charter for each club were two features that were spon¬ sored by the Club Co-Ordination Committee composed of a representative from each of our twenty clubs. The calendar was set up by this group and illustrated by the Arts and Bulletin Board Committee. A charter was given to each club who met certain standards set up by the Com¬ mittee. Clubs were reviewed at the end of the year, and charters were renewed for the clubs who had fulfilled their objectives. Mrs. Callahan, sponsor of Club Co-Ordination Committee, presents Linda Hatcher, president of the Bible Club, with its charter while Crellin James, committee secretary, looks on. Bible Club Offers Inspiration to Students. Inspiration at Bible Club meetings was gained by singing, scripture study, and the reading of religious poems. A highlight at the meetings was an active quiz team of Danny Rakes, Sam Rakes, Belle Richey, Linda Hatcher, Larry Lilly and June White. Inspiring the group with their talks were Reverend Phillips, Rev¬ erend Adkerson, Mr. Williams, and Reverend Hardman from the local churches. Bible Club members lead the daily blessing at lunch-time.

With on-the-spot reporting, Tiger Rag kept the students well-informed and up-to-date on all activities during 1958-59. The addition of pic¬ tures added a new look to the 1958-59 issues. Before most of us were even thinking seriously about the coming school year, the Tiger Rag began its busy season. Staff members were visit¬ ing local merchants in order to conclude the ad¬ vertising campaign as early in the season as possible. During Groveton’s first successful foot¬ ball season, staff members sold programs. With money collected during the summer, Tiger Rag was able to produce a special com¬ plimentary issue which was distributed on the opening day of school to the entire student body. The newspaper, along with the yearbook, again sent representatives to the Southern In¬ terscholastic Press Association in May, 1958, to gain experience for the coming year.

This active group, sponsored by Mrs. Groom, initiated ' ' Le Petit Tigre” this year. A newspaper written entirely in French for the enjoyment of students, it is edited and published by the advanced French stu¬ dents. News includes activities of classes, “bon mots” (jokes), and a gossip column. One of the years outstanding events was a dinner held on December 22 at Judy Hall’s home. The mademoiselles munched while the boys served and not a word of English was spoken, as all conversed solely in French. Other activities included a “greet new members” social in September, an annual meeting with Mt. Vernon in May, and a picnic in June. This group also co-sponsored the “January Thaw” with the other language clubs. To climax the year’s activities, awards were given to students having the highest averages in their sections.

This lively greet¬ ing is exchanged among members of Groveton’s Spanish Club! This year an exciting calendar of events was planned, as the group met together at many interesting meetings. In October, Miss Violette Gaudry came in costume to speak about her native country, Peru. A big display of cus- tumes and souvenirs from Mexico was arranged for Club Night at the November SPTA meeting. Another interesting activity carried on during the year was the celebrating of “Christmas in Spain.” Many familiar American carols were sung in Spanish. The group joined the other lan¬ guage clubs in co-sponsoring the January Thaw. Dolores Bufani, President, enjoys presenting Miss Violette Gaudry from Peru to the Spanish Club at their Christmas meeting.

This group is known as Groveton’s Latin Club. To illustrate their interest in the present day, the club sponsored a Christmas party on December 23, as well as co-sponsoring the Jan¬ uary Thaw. Several guests have spoken at the club meetings held in the indivi¬ dual classes for the first time. A “Tea Dance” was planned for the officers of the club to conclude the year.

Members have put their artistic talents into use by painting stage backdrops for the Christmas con¬ certs and Jubilee ’59, the chorus and band production, and by mak¬ ing background scenery for the De¬ cember Freeze Christmas Dance. On September. 24, members visited Honeycutt’s Fabrics and Decorator Plant. March 6 they pre¬ pared the cafeteria for their “Fancy Sock Hop” which was an all-school dance complete with a shoe-check and door prizes. Dale Alford, Margaret Leahy, and Dudley Dickenson decorate the cafeteria by paint¬ ing on comic strips for the Art Club’s Fancy Sock Hop. Art Club members, Gary Johnson, Sandy Voges, and Becky Davenport work hard on a mural to make the December Freeze a success.

Reaches Out Into the Community. “A woman’s place is in the home!” So think the members of the Future Homemakers of America Club at Groveton. This busy group of potential career wives started the year with a fall picnic to greet non-members. After getting off to a good start, the club undertook many community as well as school projects. The girls made cookies which were sent to Veterans Hos¬ pitals on Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day. Early arrivers to school were served doughnuts, milk, and fruit juice in the cafeteria by the Breakfast Club committee. As usual, the F.H.A. sponsored December Freeze Christmas Dance was a huge success. Other clubs were assisted by F.H.A.’ers as the girls made slip covers for the Drama Club chairs, bought tablecloths for the Home Ec. Department, and served as waitresses at school banquets. A big date on the F.H.A. calendar was Feb¬ ruary 17th when the girls entertained the Lady Fairfax Federation at a box supper. Mrs. Susan Christen from the Patricia Stevens School for Models and Career Girls was the guest speaker. To climax the year’s events, a banquet was held on May 14th for all members and their families. The December Freeze showcase, decorated by Phyllis Stilfield and Dorothy Staats, helped inspire the Christmas mood. F.H.A.

Interesting film strips and guest speakers filled the programs at meet¬ ings. The group was invited by Mrs. Cassell, Director of Admissions at Washington Hospital Center, to visit the Future Scientists Participate in Science Fair. “Electromatic Spectrum,” “Ex¬ panding Universe,” “phases of Biology,” and “Atomic Energy- War and Peace” have all been topics of discussion at the Senior Science Club this year. The club, in co-operation with the national increase in scientific interest, opens these lectures to all in¬ terested students. Twenty-three members also entered projects in and assisted in managing the Science Fair sponsored by the Science De¬ partment on March 6 and 7. Eight of these students won the privilege of going to the Nor¬ thern Virginia Fair at Hammond on March 20-23.

The Chapter began the year by sending six members and the club’s sponsor, Mrs. Keesee, to the annual Virginia Future Teachers Association Convention in Rich¬ mond, the weekend of November 14 and 15. In February “Peanuts for Polio” were sold after school with a $61 profit for the March of Dimes Campaign. A field trip to the National Education Association Building in April, visits to classrooms of Fairfax County primary schools, and an all-county picnic in May, completed the year.

Entertains Fourteen Schools • § • They say three’s a crowd, but our choral de¬ partment has made an exception to that rule. It became “thrice as nice” since tripling its first year membership from sixty-five to one hundred and ninety-three. To begin their busy schedule, the Symphonic Choir and Mixed Chorus joined neighboring schools in attending a choral clinic at Annandale. Then traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas Assemblies were presented before the student body. At the Christmas concert, December 21, the newly-formed eighth grade chorus made its debut. Small Town, Southern, Country, and Broadway societies combined to bring “High Society” to the Jubilee performance on January 30 and 31, when the band and chorus combined efforts to present one of their most outstanding performances of the year. Groveton played host to fourteen northern Vir¬ ginia schools at the District Choral Festival where all of the choruses received rating from genuine professionals! Then they were busy preparing for the Spring concert and for Commencement.

M. Trinkle and her Majesty Doris Lilly reign at the Sweetheart Dance. Grovetonites wore their “Hearts on Parade” at the 1959 Sweetheart Dance. Valentine’s Day provided a theme for the senior-sponsored affair, as decorations were carried out in a red and white color scheme and gay silhouettes added a romantic touch. The royal court was composed of fourteen students nominated by the homerooms. From these seven couples, the king, C. M. Trinkle; and queen, Doris Lilly, were elected by the student body. “Their majestys” were crowned by last year’s king and queen, Paul Dove and Ann di Zerega. Sweet¬ hearts danced the evening away to the music of Bob Lee and the Aristocrats. Sweethearts gather around tables as they share a good time.

Marching at five home football games, Groveton’s Golden Tiger Band, with sixty-four pieces, proudly showed off their new uniforms while pepping up the crowds in the grandstands with marching manuevers and field formations. The band must play on—so heavy snow did not cancel the Christmas Concert—it was merely postponed from December 13 to December 23. Again they played at Jubilee ’59 when they joined the Chorus in presenting an extravaganza called “High Society.” February 19th and 20th brought a visitor from Louisville, Kentucky, to the band room. Mr. R. B. Griffith rehearsed and conducted them in the second annual clinic. Then they played at the District IV Instrumen¬ tal Music Festival at Wakefield High School on March 21. As a grand finale, the Golden Tigers presented the Spring Concert on April 26. At¬ tending alumni even helped strike up the band!

Resolved: That on April 11 Groveton’s debate team defeated Falls Church and Fairfax High Schools to win by unani¬ mous decisions the title of champion of the Northern Virginia Debate League! Our affirmative team was chosen to rep¬ resent Northern Virginia in the Virginia tournament held in Charlottesville on April 25. This victory followed a series of win¬ ning debates throughout the season. March 23 Groveton defeated Mt. Vernon and George Washington to become champions of the Southern division of the Northern Virginia Debate League. On March 17, Kenneth Weidner received a first place rating in a competition of 66 at the George Washington University High School Discussion League. On April 4, the Groveton teams placed second out of the 88 competing schools at the George Washington Debate Tour¬ nament. There Barbara Larson was chosen best affirmative speaker in the Metropolitan Area. The aim of the Forensics Club was to promote the study of the verbal arts. Members of the club attended the meet¬ ings of the Northern Virginia Discussion League and added their views on topics from “Our Future in Space” to “Should the United States Change Her Berlin Policy?” Grovetonite Beau Lyons was given a “distinguished” rating in the Boys’ Poetry Reading Contest at the annual District Forensics Festival held at Grove¬ ton April 11. Area students also com¬ peted in the fields of girls’ and boys’ prose reading, public speaking, and de¬ bate. Mr. Emory Chesley, gratefully accepts the well-earned State Debate Trophy from Barbara Larson, Barth Reller and Mrs. Howard, the winning debate team and coach.

Membership is open to any stu¬ dents who wish to learn more about chess. Gaining new experiences and learning new skills come as a result of participation in tournaments with other Fairfax County Schools. The Chess team is composed of the five most outstanding players. Plans for the future include a Fairfax County Chess League and a county-wide meet of chess players.

Shutterbugs Become a Part of Groveton “Say cheese!” has almost become a motto of Groveton’s shutterbugs who joined to form a Camera Club this year. For learning techniques of good photog¬ raphy and dark room procedures, the new club built trays, contact printers, and a temporary enlarger. An industrial arts room has been transformed into a dark room. Because so much specialized equip¬ ment is required, club membership is limited to twelve. Trained club photog¬ raphers hope to serve Groveton by pic¬ turing important events and making them available to school organizations.

With such top opportunities in social studies as all of Washington, Alexandria, and Mt. Vernon surrounding us, Groveton needed a Social Studies Club, To join this club, charter members from the sophomore, junior, or senior classes had to be recommended by their social studies teacher, Students must have a B average in their social studies classes, and are selected on the basis of class participation and attitude. At the organizational meeting December 10, students heard a talk on “Peace in Foreign Af¬ fairs.” February 12 , “The Importance of Keeping Abreast of the Time” was discussed. This newly organized club closed its first year of activity with a night dinner meeting in the spring.

Members of the National Honor Society in¬ augurated a tutoring service this year designed to improve academic achievement at Groveton. Students who needed coaching could apply for a tutor through the guidance counselors. Each tutor was recommended by the subject teacher and was carefully screened. Study halls for ambitious students were sponsored by the club members during the three lunch periods. Dolores Bufani, Don Burchell, and Judy Hale directed this program. New members of the society are inducted at two ceremonies, one at the beginning of each semester. At the fall induction, nineteen new members were initiated, and thirteen more were initiated in February. Membership is based on outstanding achievement of juniors and seniors in the fields of character, service, scholarship, and leadership.

Key Clubbers Aid Charities. Ambitious boys elected to this year’s Key Club, a junior branch of Kiwanis Club, raised $200 by selling Christmas trees. Half the profit went to the new Alexandria Children’s Hospital currently being built; the remaining half aided our own athletic department at Groveton. If you heard something unusual in the cafeteria during the last week in January, it wasn’t an invasion from outter space, but merely the Key Club playing popular records over the public address sys¬ tem. The records were played and dedicated for a charge of 25c each to benefit the March of Dimes. The weekend of March 6 found nine Key Clubers driving to the annual District Key Club Convention in Baltimore. The pri¬ mary purpose of the meeting was to broaden the activities of Key Clubs in our area. Bruce Bensetler and Bill Beal, members of the Key Club, spin records on station WKEY for the March of Dimes.

After hours of tryouts, studying, and practices, the Junior Class presented a delightful comedy, “The Thread That Runs So True,” directed by Mrs. Dolozik on April 10. Based on Jesse Stuart’s recent autobiographical novel, the play unfolded the story of a one-roomed Kentucky schoolhouse. Its teacher, Jesse Stuart, competed with such problems as an uninterested school board and having students in the first and second grades who were older than himself. The cast included Roland Breault, Bert Easten; Sarah McPherson, Bertha Conway; John Swanson, John Conway; Larry Miller, Uncle Amos Batson; Frances Welborn, Celeste; Gail Nusenko, Eleanor; Dorothy Shermer, Miss Woods; Stan Bur¬ gess, Don Conway; George Custodi, Budge Waters; Maureen Harris, Grandma Binion; Terry Blackwell, Guy Hawkins; Alan Stevens, Jesse Stuart; Denice Kogleman, Jenny Jarvis; Beth Arbogast, Aunt Effie Batson; Pat Ganano, Eva; Janet Kuokka, Minnie Frome; Fred Humphries, Peter Snaggers; Betty Jean Knight, Edith Hands; Becky Davenport, Zenia Potters; Brownie di Zerega, Naomie Dean Norris; Bob Purvis, Snookie Baylor; Suzanne Ballard, Vaida Conway; Chuck O’Hare, Ova Salyers; Doug Ma- genenty, Billy Leonard; Susan Snyder; Sally Wal¬ den; Colleen Blackmun, Leonora Maddox.

Curtain going up on “The Infanta,” a tale of a Spanish princess, presented February 21 by the Tiger Theater in Northern Virginia Group I Competition. Upon receiving a first place rat¬ ing there, the group gave a repeat performance in state competition at Charlottesville where they also received a “distinguished” rating. Terry Blackwell is to be commended for substitution in the part of Lord Severe de Compeigne at a last minute’s notice for state competition. Congratu¬ lations are in order for Mrs. Dolozik and the cast for their splendid performances, for they brought honor and prestige to Groveton. This was not the only achievement of the Tiger Theater this year. Twenty members quali¬ fied for membership in the National Thespian Society, and were initiated on March 24 by George Washington High School. Membership in this honorary society requires participation in various projects within the Tiger Theater. One of these was “The Imaginary Invalid,” Moliere’s three-act comedy, presented on December 5.

Linda Kuba, Pat Knight, members of the Public Relations Committee and chairman Kay Stennett set up an effective display case for CARE. Students generously give to the CARE drive while members of the Public Relations Committee smile and say “thanks.” Weeks before Christmas, Grovetonites had “sugar plums dancing in their heads” in anticipation of the coming festivities. It wasn’t a “white Christmas,” but it snowed long enough on December 14th to postpone the Band Christmas Concert until the 23rd. Both the band and the chorus delighted audiences by adding a musical note to the Christmas fun! Not forgetting the real meaning of Christmas, the SCA sponsored a CARE Campaign which netted $156.43. The victorious Fr eshman class chose Korea as the lucky recipient of the food pack¬ ages. Within the walls of Groveton, the humming of familiar carols, a room dec¬ orating contest, and a special Christmas card delivery service, added to the spirit of Christmas from room to room. Gaiety reigned throughout the season, as the traditional December Freeze put the crowning touch on Christmas at Groveton. Santa stops by the Christmas Concert long enough to wish a “Merry Christmas to all.” Pane Sixty-Eight ... In December Activities. A Christmas fantasy brought to life was the 1958 December Freeze. The 20th of December was the night when Grove- tonites danced as the guests of the Fu¬ ture Homemakers of America. It was the behind the scenes effort that carried the spirit of the dance so successfully, for as F.H.A.’ers well know, decorating for a formal is almost as much fun as the dance itself. Christmas pink, silver and white were chosen to carry out the theme of the dance in an ab¬ stract design of stars and snow flakes. As the couples arrived they entered under a white canopy surrounded by large white Christmas bells. To add a festive glow, a large silver tree was decorated with pink balls and lights. During the course of the evening, F.H.A. officers and sponsors were intro¬ duced when they entered through a huge silver star, and formed the tradi¬ tional F.H.A. figure. Star Wood and Reta Reybold hang silver Christmas Bells to finish final decoration touches before the dance. F.H.A, President, Patsy Miller Hunt and Jim Hunt happily pause as they are introduced at the dance. The officers of the F.H.A. and their escorts take advantage of the music played in their honor, The copy committee, Sue Boyce, Catherine LaPlante, Copy Editor; Katie Cluff, and Carole Metts, consult each other to turn facts and figures into interesting and informative copy. Student Publishers “The book’s gone to press!” With this happy exclama¬ tion, a sigh of relief swept through the Rama Room as the final deadline had been met by staff and cubs. Tigerama members began work before the opening day of school and later frequent night meetings were held by the staff for a continuous workshop interrupted only by supper. Cubs again played an indispensible role in the produc¬ tion of our book, as they learned the various phases of yearbook work by experience. As the deadline rapidly approached, the whole club began staying late for busy work meetings. The Ad Drive served to re-introduce Tigerama and Groveton to the business public and to bind the club members together as they worked toward a common goal. When the book finally went to press, the team which has sold fewer ads fulfilled its obligations by a party celebration. The classes committee, Carol Beale, Linda Kuba, Suzanne Morgan, Carol Twigg, Emily Leonard, Stephanie DeCamp, and Joan Price match names with faces as they identify thirteen hundred class pictures. Eager Cubs, Carole Christmas, Lynn Schultz, and Ernest Williams, help themselves by helping editors in order to gain valuable experience for future staff positions. The typists’ fingers fly to beat the approaching deadline. They are Gaye Whited, Head Typist; Pat Cuicci, Jean Bryant, and Minnie Lou Davis. Everyone celebrates when the book goes to press. Captains Jackie Luse, Ernest Williams, and Cubs Sandy Shelton, Joan Price, and Barbara Uhle get in line for the refreshments. Serve Entire School In April, 1958, six delegates were sent to the Sou¬ thern Interscholastie Press Association for training. They traveled by chartered bus with delegates from other area schools. In October four members went to New York to attend a yearbook clinic sponsored by the Columbia Press Association. After attending the clinic they took advantage of Broadway. To serve as a guide and to benefit by previous mis¬ takes, Tigerama ’58 was sent to the National School Yearbook Association, Columbia Scholastic Press As¬ sociation, and the National Scholastic Press Association for critical analysis. Tigerama publication is a service to Groveton. The production of the ’59 book would have been entirely im¬ possible without the full co-operation of the faculty and students. For all their help, the staff is grateful. Kay Barret, Editor-in-Chief, and Miss Thelma Morris confer on yearbook fundamentals. Bob Wagner, Staff Photog¬ rapher, introduces some of the $500 worth of equipment to the Cub Photographers Bill Twitty and Charles Hatsell. The Business Staff, Ginnie Pierce, Circulation (also Girls’ and Boys’ Sports Editor); Don Burchell, Advertising Manager; and Joan Sissman, Business Manager, count and recount the yearbook finances to be sure they are in order. The Editorial Staff organizes materials for a Wednesday night meeting. They are Violet Olson, Art Editor; Ellen Shapirio, Layout Editor; Judy Hall, Club Editor; Sondra Morrissey, Class Editor and Assistant Editor; Randi Sigmund, Classroom Ac¬ tivities Editor; Cathy LaPlante, Copy Editor; Pat DeYoung, Activities and Photography Editor; George Custodi, and Bob Wagner, Staff Photographers. The Class of ’58 Enjoys Its Last Dance . . . Orchids to the 1958 Junior Class, for it was they who made “Prom Night 1958” a truly “Enchanted Evening” for the graduating seniors! Little setbacks, such as a torn mural on the eve of the dance, failed to mar the gay atmosphere which prevailed. Juniors began making plans as early as October for this, another first at Groveton. On December 3, the Junior Class Play was presented, the funds of which were used to finance the prom. The Decorating Committee worked tire¬ lessly to achieve the desired effect, as artistic beauty transformed Groveton’s gym into a southern plantation. Amid this tranquil at¬ mosphere of the Old South, prom go’ers danced to an all-star orchestra composed of musicians from many well-known bands. As the evening of May 31 drew to a close, juniors and seniors were served breakfast at the Virginia Lodge. An old southern mansion makes a romantic background for prom festivities. President-elect Barth Reller and date, Pat Quigley, dance the evening away. Jeff Nichols and Pat Watson are crowned the “Royal Couple” as Jeff’s date, Joyce Bowen, assists. The prom seemed to create an “En¬ chanted Evening” for Brownie di Zerega and Duke Glascock. Miss Betty Holstine and Mr. Bob Tabor, Junior and Senior class sponsors, enjoy the gay atmosphere of the prom. Pane Seventy-Two . . . but Returns for Homecoming Festivities. Who says best things come last? Grove- ton’s first Homecoming weekend was a high¬ light of the fall. It opened with a banquet, sponsored by the senior class and honoring alumni and the Homecoming court. Guests enjoyed a delicious meal, fellowship, and music by the Symphonic Choir. After the banquet, students traveled in a car caravan to the Groveton-Hammond game where defeat did not down the spirit of fes¬ tivity. At half-time, the students’ choice of Homecoming Queen, Bobbi Dahl, escorted by Bill Beal, was crowned by Mr. Chesley. Other members of the court were escorted by John Harn, Barth Beller, Butch Johnson, Dave McIntyre, Win Bilisoly, Paul Herndon, Larry Pittman, and Jim Talbert. A dance, where the Queen and her at¬ tendants were again presented, climaxed the Homecoming festivities. This weekend was only the beginning of another tradition at Groveton—a tradition that you, the student body and alumni will look forward to, and then remember in the years to come. Homecoming Queen, Bobbi Dahl, beams with joy as she takes her place of honor at the head of the procession, while Barbara Larson, Pat Johnson, and Barbara Slayton look on. Bonnie Tinkham, Mary Brooks, Marie McCloskey, Marcia Minson, Anna Lloyd, Patty Paterson, and Dot Murray, members of the class of ’58, seem happy to be back for the first Homecoming banquet. “Groveton Tiger,” Beverly Barret, stands over “defeated Hammond Admiral,” Jimmy Weedon, at the pep rally before the Homecoming game. i Members of the court Kay Barret, June Spicer, Barbara Larson, Pat Cuicci, Patti Pilkington is introduced at the Homecoming banquet.

Sports exemplifies the Groveton spirit; it is her spirit in action. Groveton provides such a broad program that literally no one need be excluded. Every student takes a part whether it is as an active team member, a cheerleader, or the es¬ sential spectator. Faculty members also get into the act! Some take on the rewarding job of coaching while others sell tickets. Some of them join parents, students, and other community residents as loyal “rooters” in the stands. Our sports program offers both boys and girls a chance to gain recognition in physical achieve¬ ments. Interscholastic program in¬ cludes teams of hockey, football, basketball, baseball, track, and golf. Competition reigns among members of classes via the intra¬ mural program of basketball and the newly-formed bowling league. Through these programs, strength of mind is developed. Students realize the importance of learning to work together and combining efforts as a team. They recognize the old stand-by that “it isn’t whether we win or lose that counts, but how we play the game.” Sports Page Seventy-Five Victorious Tigers hoist Coach Tabor after the Fairfax game. Touchdown Bound . . . A feeling of undying faith swept through Groveton this fall, for in her third season of football, the Groveton team was dynamic! With on-the-target passing, power and speed, the boys showed a decided improvement over the two previous seasons. Encouraged by an enthusiastic student body cheering them on, the Tigers emerged with a victorious record of 5 wins, 4 losses, and 1 tie. For the second straight time, Groveton triumphed over Mt. Vernon by a score of 19-6 and thus kept the Mt. Vernon Kiwanis Club trophy for another year. This presents a big challenge to our 1959 team, for if we are victorious again next fall, the trophy will be ours for keeps! The greatest victory of the year came when Groveton defeated the highly favored Fairfax team 14 to 7. In the Lee game, one of the longest passes in Northern Virginia came from the arm of C. M. Trinkle to the able-receiver Beau Lyons, good for 64 yards and a score. Outstanding in Northern Virginia, the backfield was composed of C. M. Trinkle, quarterback; Julio Betancourt and Jimmy Pettit, halfbacks; and Paul Wease, fullback. Billy Pickering, end; Wease and Betancourt were named to the Gazette’s All-Northern Virginia Second Team, and Aaron Hook, tackle; Trinkle and Pettit received Honorable Mention.

Led by co-captains John Lafley and Frank Packer, the Jayvees compiled this superior record as a result of teamwork in speed, power, and good coacmng. Coach Lehman ascertained that this year’s squad was outstanding. This brings expectation of championship Varsity within the next few years.

Coached by Miss Quarles, the girls triumphed with 3 victories and 3 ties. However, at the end of the season, at an athletic banquet, which both teams were hon¬ ored to attend, a varsity mem¬ ber, Barbara Linaberg, was chosen “outstanding hockey player of the year” and all var¬ sity members received their let¬ ters. Hard-practicing varsity girls, coached by Miss Pauley, traveled to many nearby schools for their games. On one particular bad-luck day the girls were not only defeated by “the school down the road,” but also had quite a time running around in the cold looking for tinfoil to start their broken- down bus. They ended their season with 2 wins, 3 losses, and a tie game. Beth Arbogast dribbles down the field toward the goal.

Trinkle (20) and Johnson (14) attempt to stop an Annandale opponent as he goes up for the rebound. After two disappointing seasons, the Varsity cagers bounced back with a fine 9-7 record. This tremendous improvement was due largely to newly acquired self- confidence and outstanding teamwork. Much of the credit, however, must go to rookie coach Verne Canfield who was named County Coach of the Year. Although the Tigers lost ,7 ■ straight ear lier in the season, they pud-d their record over the .500 mark by winning seven out of the last eight games, thus, gaining a berth in the Northern Virginia Tournament. Rol Reynaud and C. M. Trinkle grab¬ bed a lion’s share of rebounds. The play¬ making of Skip Johnson, an Alexandria Gazette All-County pick, and Dick Rramley set the team up for numerous scores. Ray Fraley displayed great poise for a junior in his first year of Varsity competition. Both Reynaud and Bramley were All- County Second Team choices and Trinkle received Honorable Mention. Groveton’s first winning season can be attributed to depth supplied by senior re¬ serves, Tom Davies, Bill Pickering, and John Harn, and an excellent team effort with each of the starting five scoring over one hundred points. After breaking loose from the Annandale Atoms, Bramley dunks the ball for another tally.

Under the capable coaching of Mr. Panagos, the J.V.’s compiled an outstanding record of ten wins and six losses and finished second in the County. The rebounding of Fuzzy Strauss and the sharpshooting of Bart Frye coupled with the playmaking of high-scoring Frank Packer were in¬ strumental in many of the J.V. vic¬ tories. Highlights of the season were the trouncing of W-L, the double victories over Mt. Vernon and the initial defeat of Fairfax by a County team this season.

Page Eighty-Seven Basketball Spirit Aroused Intramurals offer opportunities to many boys who otherwise might not be able to participate in competitive sports. This ath¬ letic program promotes sportsmanship, co¬ operation, and teamwork. Basketball included two leagues, the Junior and Senior Divisions, with six teams in each. Approximately 120 boys took part in the program, with about ten boys on each team. The Senior Division Championship was won by the Hawks, sparked by team cap¬ tain Don Hazen, league high scorer. The champions of the Junior Division, the Guns, were led by All-Star Captain John Lafley. Other team captains were: Butch Johnson, Bob Stegall, Bill Britt, Gil Lorenz, Jim Tattersal, Jim McEliece, Dick Emerson, Bill Lucy, Jerry Bramley, and Aaron Hook. The end of the season was climaxed by a game between the Senior Division All- Stars and the Faculty, in which the All- Stars proved the victors by a twenty-point margin.

Re¬ sponsible for this clamor are the three squads of cheerleaders, the Varsity, J.V., and 8th Grade, com¬ posed of twenty-two girls. During the spring and early fall, these girls were chosen on the basis of pep, personality, and potentia¬ lity. The twenty-two girls wore their traditional outfits for football season, but the Varsity surprised us during basketball season with their new pleated black skirts made by Patsy Miller Hunt, F.H.A. Presi¬ dent. Many new cheers were added to the array of old ones by the girls’ original compositions of pep songs based on popular TV commercials such as, “They said it couldn’t be done!” These ambitious girls don’t even stop working when school is out, for during the summer they are busy teaching newly-elected cheer¬ leaders the routine for the coming year.

Cagers Enter Tourney For the first time in Groveton’s history, the bas¬ ketball team gained a berth in the Northern Vir¬ ginia Tournament held March 4-7. The Tigers were seeded sixth in the tourney. Due to a third place tie between Fairfax and Mt. Vernon, the toss of a coin had to determine our first opponent, arch-rival Mt. Vernon. The Tigers were favored because of a 53-47 win over Mt. Vernon the previous week; however, Mt-. Vernon avenged its defeat and emerged vic¬ torious with a score of 60-41. Mr. Cunningham congratulates Mr. Canfield, who was chosen County Coach of the Year.

Eighth Grade Spirit Shines Eighth Grade Sports offers an oppor¬ tunity for eighth graders to gain ex¬ perience, beneficial in the coming years. Participants of these sports display hard work, co-operation, and team effort. The football season was an unfavor¬ able one, with only one win out of six encounters, jimmy Snyder was elected Most Valuable Player. The basketball season brought better results, with a 3-5 record. This was due mainly to the high shooting percentage of Ken Allen, the rebounding and scoring of Bob Stephens, and the defensive play of Jimmy Snyder. The baseball team is expected to have a winning season, because of the ex¬ perience gained in summer leagues. Center: Lee Sloppy.

Page Ninety-Six To Area Opponents Baseball season started off with a bang this year with a 5-2 victory over Lee. This win was followed by a defeat at the hands of Fairfax. The Tigers quickly bounced back with upsets over Washington-Lee and Mt. Vernon. The team is comparatively young, but it is rated as a county threat along with Fairfax and Mt. Vernon. Pitching presents no problem, as the squad is strong in that department with veteran hurlers Paul Wease and Jimmy Pettit being backed up by newcomers, Charlie Everett and Billy Schools. These two underclassmen were particularly impressive in their wins over Lee and W-L, respectively. All of the baseball teams are hampered by lack of a regular practice field, and the players anxiously look toward next year when our own practice and game fields will be available.

From observations by Coach Lehman, the team stood strong both offensively and defensively. Bob Bell provided good catching, while Bart Frye and Tom Nuckols were mainstays on the mound. With the tight infield consisting of John Neary, Marty Perez, Carl White, and Bill Taylor, and the high batting averages and noted outfielding of Ken Stark, Kenny Nelson, and Andy McPherson, the J.V. squad sparked to victory.

Dennis Neary clears the marker with room to spare in the pole vault event. Before the basketball team finished its sea¬ son, signs of spring appeared in the Groveton halls. The track boys practiced almost daily after school in preparation for the arrival of short- sleeve season and, with it, their meets. The squad was fairly new this year. Al¬ though the team was strong in sprints and weak in field events, Coach Hess groomed the team for the county meet to be held at the end of the season. Groveton’s thinclads won their first meet against Mt. Vernon and Herndon. April 4, they entered the Memorial Relays at George Washing¬ ton High School and placed sixth. On April 9, Groveton defeated McLean and Lee in a County meet, in which Julio Betancourt established a new record, running the 100-yard dash in 9.8 seconds.

Although the first softball game of the ’59 season with Lee ended in a 9-9 deadlock on a rain-soaked field, prospects all pointed to a more successful season than either of the two previous ones. Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Ingham, practice was held on Groveton’s home field on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Veteran pitchers Barbara Linaburg and Sandra Morris returned from last year’s squad as did Most Valuable Player, Louisa Frank, and other regulars. Many of last year’s J.V. players added punch to an already powerful batting team. The J.V. squad, coached by Miss Hut¬ chinson, gained valuable experience during their own games and during scrimmages with the Varsity girls.

Page One Hundred One Page One Hundred Two For the final piece in our puzzle, we need the piece which expresses individual life and personality. This piece is ever growing and chang¬ ing. Sometimes it takes the form of players on a team, students in the classroom, or members of a well-organized student govern¬ ment. But this piece, regardless of form, completes the empty space and composes the warmth and friendship, that is the heart, the very spirit that is Groveton High School. It is the living, breathing humanity which enters and exits her portals. It is her student body. This year over 1400 students have entered Groveton. They come from all walks of life. As they grow from the eager eighth graders to the mature seniors, they enjoy their memberships in each class and the competition which reigns among the classes. The classes practice the theory of give and take—giving of themselves and contributing all that they can to the school, and taking advantage of all opportuni¬ ties afforded them.

The Senior Advisory Committee is comprised of Miss Holstine, Mrs. Callaham, Mr. Tabor, Mrs. Keesee, and Miss Caricofe, chairman. Remember Groveton’s first student directory and March of Dimes Re¬ quest Show? They were products of the class of ’59—when they were sophomores. They put on a spectacular Junior Class Play which helped finance the Junior-Senior Prom last year. That was the year their rings came, too! Rut the best year came last—start¬ ing with a trip to the University of Virginia for a football game. Then the seniors sponsored Groveton’s first homecoming weekend and the Sweet¬ heart Dance. The class of ’59 was allowed to es¬ tablish senior privileges on a trial basis with the understanding that, if successful, it could be carried on by future classes. They set up a class ab¬ sentee system, acquired the middle seats in the auditorium, left assem¬ blies first, and planned for a senior section in the cafeteria. Mrs. Callaham and Miss Holstine, class sponsors, worked together in super¬ vising the activities of the class. Dick Bramley, Class Presi¬ dent, presides over all Senior Class meetings. The Past Is a Prelude as always, class pictures played a big part in our school year the many hours of planning and decorating before the successful Sweetheart Dance . . . and these deserted halls, which we now must leave. We remember the first day of school when we got our schedules and began our long-awaited Senior year . . . then, in October, the Homecoming festivities which we sponsored . . .

Gloria was a popular, active Eighth Grader. She is remembered as an Eighth Grade Cheerleader, Vice-President of her class, and a Junior Varsity Girls’ Softball team member. In order to keep a living memory of Gloria and Fred Uhler, Dogwood Trees have been planted around the school and will bloom each spring. Page One Hundred Forty-Eight The Eighth Grade . . .

Page One Hundred Fifty-Three Grovetonites Start the Week • • • Mrs. Ring, Mr. Hiller, and Mr. Davis, join the rest of the faculty before school for their regular Monday morning meeting. First period class begins another week of study for Grovetonites. Between classes the halls resemble Grand Central Station. Fifth period, for the cafeteria staff, means feeding the last of Groveton’s hungry students. We would like to take you around the clock on a typical Groveton day. It is Mon¬ day—a day not unlike the other 179 we spend here, but still a special day in itself. You find here that, although some days seem monotonously the same, each has something particular to differ it from the others. Monday is a day crowded with ac¬ tivity. It begins slowly with most people still thinking about the fabulous basketball game they saw, or the good party Saturday night; but as the day progresses it begins to liven as the first day of another week. After school one can look around and be amazed at the many people who don’t go home on the bus! The track boys work out in the halls, students take the oppor¬ tunity to rid their lockers of the previous week’s papers, and the newspaper staff is working diligently to meet another dead¬ line. Ail these take place on “just another Monday.” . . .With Typical Monday Bobby Dunn takes advantage of the time before his bus comes, to clean out his locker. In 7th period Physics class, Jim Talbert, Barbara Larson, and Tom Davies study a principle of weight and distance. Larry Lilly keeps his susaphone shining with addi¬ tional elbow grease contributed by Thula Hampton. What could be so interesting in the gymnasium this time of day? ask Joni Holden. 3:30 P.M. finds the track boys in the halls preparing for their spring meets. Late afternoon finds many people working hard on publications. 1 . , m m tr r i i i • roi ( “H«ii s, :hj- jh x t =oai , x.� s: ' iwiSSJ 9th and 10th grade Intramural’s weekly games are played on Monday nights.

Pictured here is the fun side of school, some of the little things we most re¬ member. You may be surprised to find yourself here—in the daily routine of the lunch line, working in the office, screaming at a game, or practicing the age old hobby of loafing. Aspirants pose with Miss Virginia. They are: Judy Hall, Barbara Slayton, and Maureen Harris. The Symphonic Choir provides after-dinner music at the Homecoming Banquet. i(x ' 4rjl i m V [ m.

Allen Stevens and Susan Goggin were the main performers in the prize winning play, “The Infata.” The University of Richmond, represented by Dr. Overton, holds the attention of Beau Lyons, Joe Powell, and Bob Hanson. Mr. Panagos and Mr. Fern guard the goal against invasion by Bald Eagles from McLean. Mr. Lehman’s idea for a schedule of events was illustrated by Miss Hill and constructed by Mr. Simms. Pat DeYoung and Ellen Shapiro look over the score sheet from S.I.P.A., where the yearbook received First Place Award; while Miss Morris re¬ joices with Janice Thompson over an Honor Award received by Tiger Rag. Presentation of Awards Completes Fall Sports Season. Varsity Hockey Coach, Miss Pauley, presents an award to Barbara Linaburg, Outstanding Hockey Player of the season. Mr. M. G. Britt presents the Mt. Vernon Kiwanis Club Trophy to Coach Tabor and Mr. Cunningham. In November, a banquet was held in honor of those students who participated in fall sports. The traditional sports trophies were awarded to certain deserving individuals. Trophies were also presented to the first undefeated J.V. football and hockey teams. Senior members of the Cheer¬ leading Squad received gold megaphones as mementos of their Varsity Cheerleading years. For the second straight year, Groveton re¬ tained the Mt. Vernon Kiwanis Bowl Trophy after a decisive 19-6 victory over arch-rival Mt. Vernon. FOOTBALL AWARD WINNERS— Firt Row: James Pettit, Outstand¬ ing Defensive Halfback; Julio Betancourt, C. M. Trinkle, and Paul Wease, Outstanding Offensive Halfbacks. Second Row: Frank Packer, Most Valuable J.V.

Captain Faye Pittman accepts the trophy from Miss Quarles for the undefeated J. V. Hockey team, as Varsity Coach Miss Pauley and Co-Captains Pat Quigley and Palmira Betancourt look on. And This Is How It Got To Press 214? That’s the Rama Room—a room with many faces. Sometimes it is filled with busy stu¬ dents pounding typewriters, writing copy, bal¬ ancing the budget, preparing ads, or tackling the not quite impossible job of fitting a horizontal picture into a vertical space. Sometimes it is a scene of serious confer¬ ences; others, of a fun-filled Christmas party. However, here can be seen a phase of the Rama Room not usually seen by most Groveton- ites. All work and no play would make Tigers dull! v , i Mr. ' Charles Hunter, a representative from our publishing company, discusses covers with Joan Sissman, Kay Barret, and George Custodi, while Ellen Shapiro is intent on her job of layout. Ann di Zerega, former editor, cuts the cake in celebration of the arrival of the 1958 TIGERAMA. Photographers Bob Wagner, and Dennis Beale, enjoy their second favorite hobby. McDonald’s business booms -as the yearbook works late. Looks like the gals really go for George! Columbia University was the scene of the Scholastic Press Association workshops this fall. Miss Morris, Suzanne Morgan, Beth Arbogast, and Ginnie Pierce, take time out from conferences to sightsee. Page One Hundred Sixty-Two Groveton is located in the midst of a picture of history, past and present. Her proximity to our na¬ tion’s capital, her boundaries of historic Alexandria on the north, Mt. Vernon and Woodlawn Estates on the south and the Potomac River on the east—all add to a vast community spirit. Although this area does not fit as an actual piece in our puzzle of school life, it has invaded every realm of our life, and there is scarcely a minute when we are not exposed to it in one form or another. The food after the games, the flowers for the dances, even the cars which get us there—all stem from co-operation with the civic-minded businessmen of this community. These gentlemen in our sur¬ rounding area support Tigerama; Tigerama subscribers support their businesses. Through this mutual co-operation, both our advertisers and our school are benefitted. As our school prepares for her fourth year, it is hoped that through this working together, both the spirit of Groveton and the community spirit may become more firmly in¬ terlocked.

Page One Hundred Eighty-Two The Spirit Depends On You!! And now the last piece is in place; the picture is complete. Each of you had a place in this puzzle as it has been put together by Tigcrama ’59. For as the completed puzzle de¬ pends on the position of each piece, so the development of the spirit that is Groveton rests with you. We have shown you the three-fold pur¬ pose that is embraced by Groveton’s curricu- lum educational, social, and physical. Each is inseperable from the other just as each piece of this puzzle is firmly interlocked with the others. In her third year, Groveton is short on tradition but long on the perspective for the future. The class of ’59 moves on to become parts of larger and more difficult puzzles— to fill their places in the world puzzle. For awhile the halls will be empty, the lines in the cafeteria will disappear, the cheering will die down, and discarded posters and crumbled crepe paper will belie their gay origins. But in the fall other classes will return to fill the vacant places in our picture and enlarge upon the achievements of the past with successes of the future. In the past, Tigerama has endeavored to show you how the togetherness of Groveton benefits you with opportunities unlimited. Now in 1959, we have added another facet; for by working together toward a common goal, by making use of the many open door¬ ways in our school, and by each playing a part in completing this picture, we develop, maintain, and renew the Spirit That Is Groveton High!
