Over the nineteen years of the school’s existence, Groveton has gained a reputation as a loser’s school, something of a joke. This is understandable, be¬ cause in some sports the size of the student body (Groveton could qualify for competition in the Virginia AA division) has been a handicap. But this impres¬ sion of Groveton is also unfair. It obscures the accomplishments of many fine basketball and tennis teams which, in their good years, have been the scourge of Northern Virginia. The idea that Groveton is a haven for mediocrity is also be¬ lied by the performance of several outstanding individuals: Nancy Soltis in ten¬ nis, Donny Hackney in football, and Marissa Dutzman in gymnastics. Seldom does a year go by without some accomplishment. Last year, Sherry James triumphed in national track meets. This year, Groveton’s basketball team is ranked in the metropolitan area, after 3 years of taking last place in the district. Most importantly, there is enthusiasm this year for sports. Although this spirit has unpleasant side effects (e.g. obnoxious juniors screaming joon-yers! joon- yers! at pep rallies), it serves to bring the school together, making sports a valu¬ able part of the school experience. 21 22 23 25 26 28 29 30 VARSITY HOCKEY, LEFT TO RIGHT.

Consequently, each year as the time for National Honor Society inductions draws near, one hears frequent comments and questions such as “I wonder if I could get Mr. Hiller to say that I led small group discussions,” or “Didn’t 1 collect money for the Heart Association once?” Through such finagling most of the applicants scrape by. Then there is the work of the society itself. No longer an inactive organization, the society requires attendance at ALL the meetings, work at fund raising events, and various service ac¬ tivities. Non-compliance brings drastic punishment. Some students would prefer to keep the society strictly an honor, but the National Honor Society is working toward ambitious goals, particularly in raising money for scholarships. How successful the society will be in becoming a permanently important force at Groveton is yet to be seen, but its leaders, if not the general membership, are working to move in that direction.

I wondered, really wondered, how the evening would turn out. I was so glad it was warm, and not raining. Finally it was time to get into our assigned cars. I got to ride in the neat little MG. Friends ran up to wish me luck. I was scared, then embarrassed, and then I wondered how I had gotten into such an unreal situation. We waited and waited. Why weren ' t the cars going? Kendall Gallivan wasn ' t there! The Proces¬ s ion was going to have to start without her if she didn’t hurry up. She showed up at the last minute and the long-dreaded ride around the playing field began. Up in the stands I could see my friends waving, but I couldn ' t wave to anyone. We made it to the other side of the field, dismounted from our cars and lined up to walk onto the field. The major fear in my mind was, “What if I trip and fall in the mud?’’ As I walked through the opening in the band, I saw my friends in the band smiling at me and I felt encouraged knowing that they were in front of the same crowd. The big moment came and went. Kendall was named the Homecoming Queen for 1975. Some of the girls were crying. Why? We jumped into our cars and raced around the field, the wind blowing our hair. The once-in-a-lifetime evening was over. 67 NATIONAL MERIT FINALISTS, LEFT TO RIGHT: Larry Ball; Olivia Holmes; Jerry Kilpatrick; Sandy Daniels 68 IT’S ACADEMIC, LEFT TO RIGHT: David Glazier, Cy Smith; Larry Ball, captain. 69 70 Gayvin Stong Larry Ball Betsy Williams 71 Eleanor Huang Iris Schmidt 72 ALL-REGIONAL CHORUS, LEFT TO RIGHT FRONT ROW: Patty Bishop; Jeff Givens; John McGrath; Michelle Roper; Jenny Hicks; Pam Killen; Debi Speilman; Chris Mathis; Desiree DeNio.

A freshman ' s life is not an easy one. Ripped from the womb of intermediate school, he is thrust into a new world where some of his fellow students used to be his babysitters. Suddenly he must start thinking about what he is going to do after Graduation (and act as if he really cares about that distant future lest parents and teachers become upset). He ' s now in the big time whether he likes it or not! But of course, there are advantages — Three smoking areas where any freshman can light up just like an adult! And there are lots of more constructive things too, if he is so inclined. There are so many new activities — yearbooknewspaperlanguageclubssports (footballbasketballtennisetcetc) VicaDecadramabandchorusdebateteamGaspetcetc. And there are even a few interesting classes.-But the best thing about ninth grade is the way Mom says to Aunt Flora, “You know, now Tommy is in HIGH SCHOOL.” So maybe it ' s all worthwhile. 141 L to R: KELLY CARPENTER, Pres.; DANA SCHWIETZER.

For the first time since his childhood in the eighth grade, he can walk through the halls along with someone younger than himself. (Maybe if he ' s really lucky he has a freshman brother or sister whom he can instruct in the facts of high school life.) He is in a pleasant period of his life, tucked between his entrance into high school and SAT ' s. Suddenly he discovers that he is part of a school, and becomes one of the most vocal (obnoxious?) screamers at pep rallies and games. In any case, he has swung into high school life, and is ready to conquer any worlds that come his way. 162 163 LEFT TO RIGHT: Jodi Ladwig. Treasurer; Susie Pearson.

Now that anyone old enough to laugh at them is gone, they can begin to take over the organizations in the school and become leaders rather than just participants. Groveton’s “Class of ' ll is in a unique position because they will be the first se¬ nior class in the new Groveton High School. They will be able to set the tone for life in the new campus. With seniors usually vegetating and waiting for the next stage in their lives to pass by, juniors are at a crucial period of decision. All of a sudden, graduation looms and they must decide what to do. What is even more arduous, they must perform well enough to insure that they can do what they want. The junior year is a time of work, when one must concentrate on constructive activities. But a junior always knows that it is worth it because if he makes it through the year he will reach the highest of heights — THE SENIOR CLASS. 183 184 185 LEFT TO RIGHT: Fed deGastyne, president; Lois Will, secretary; Rick Seidel, vice-president; Purvis Dawson, treasurer. 186 J.

What next year brings is something we will see, But right now all we know is that we’re cool. In study four long years we have just spent And graduation now is drawing nigh. To college, work, or elsewhere we ' ll be sent, Rememb’ring joyous days when we got high. So good-bye Groveton High School! Take this po’m To venerate the place we love so well. This school to us is almost like a home Where childhood’s immaturities you quell. Our tears of sorrow on our cheeks are glistening. O! Malcolm Klein, I hope that you are listening! : .V 1 • V - Jr 71 ■ y : ' V 1 ■- rx 1 n , l ' IwBV f ✓ 7 j I ' V K 1 - 1 XH. v 7 1 HHnp f i 1 fxK P 7 , ffjfl M .

A new school was being created. Now there is a new construction site, and all the attendant plans and excitement. The difference is that nineteen years ago, in addition to a new building, a new community was formed. Today, the future occupants of the new buildings (one was enough before, but not now) already operate as a unit. For better or for worse, the students of the new school will start out with a reputation and a tradition from the old school. This move is not the creation of a new school; it is a step in the development of a school that is nineteen years old. It is not the end of Groveton, but rather a chance for Grove- ton to build on its heritage to make a better school. The facilities are top-notch; Groveton students face the challenge of fitting those facilities to the part of Groveton that will move with the people from the old building to the new. 235 mmmmmmmh CREDITS PHOTO Tino Arana pages 6, 13a, 22a, 22b, 23, 24, 183. 184a, 185, 205, 208.

The warehouse that would soon become the site of Alexandria, and the land that George Washington would in¬ herit can be clearly seen. Washington was only five years old when this map was made, and Fairfax County would be created out of Prince William County five years hence. The county took its name from Thomas, 6th Lord Fairfax, Baron of Cameron, who was the proprietor of all northern Virginia west of the Potomac River — encompassing approximately 5,200,000 acres. This year we are celebrating the bicentennial anniversary of the American Revolution. Fairfax County contributed many men and leaders to that cause — including its most prominent citizen, George Washington. The county grew slowly in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Wheat replaced tobacco as the major crop. Roads and canals were built to haul grain from the interior of Vir¬ ginia to Alexandria. This, plus the fact that Alexandria was incorporated into the new Federal City, kept the town alive. Other towns along the Potomac such as Colechester, Dum¬ fries, and Marlborough did not fare so well. The Civil War left an ugly scar on Fairfax County. The land was ravaged by armies skirmishing for advantage around the nation’s capital. The soil was depleted after so many years of tobacco and grain cultivation. Farms fell into disrepair. Lush plantations gave way to the undergrowth of neglect. 3 The Mt. Vernon Magisterial District of Fairfax County as it appeared in 1878 Timothy Murphy- Ife rt ' if Da nc er tie M- .

' -� aches to a Miles • C : The fVtfitrer on the Jtoaris show Aft Distance in. nods from junctions thereof The new Groveton school district, 1976 The county began to revive slowly in the late 19th century with dairy farming. But full prosperity and growth came in the 20th century as a direct result of the railroad, the electric trolley car, and the automobile. As the federal government expanded during the New Deal of the 1930’s and World War II, Fairfax County took on its present appearance. Farms were replaced by housing developments, old rutted “rolling roads” and narrow farm lanes gave way to paved highways, the country store was displaced by the shopping center. The growth of Fairfax County since World War II can be measured by our school statistics. In 1950 there were 38 elemen¬ tary and secondary schools. In 1960 the number grew to 85. Today the county operates the thirteenth largest school system in the nation with 177 schools serving over 137,000 students. The school bus fleet of over 600 vehicles is the second largest in the United States. Groveton High School opened its doors in September, 1956, and the first senior class graduated in June, 1958. What was new in 1956, however, appears dated today. The new educational emphasis is on flexible space and room for expanded community services. A new Groveton High School, with a three building campus, will open its doors in September, 1976; and the old building will become Bryant Intermediate School, just 234 years after Fairfax County was founded, 200 years after the Declara¬ tion of Independence was signed, and twenty years after the ori¬ gin of the first Groveton High School. 5 CLASS OF 58 The first classes entered Groveton with enthusiasm. Pride in the school brought forth a school seal, school crest, and a school song which ended “Your shining symbol e’er will be Our guide on to etemity For truth and love and light.” The students saw themselves as the ones who would establish a tradition, and acted on their best behavior. The yearbook expressed the “indebtedness” of all the students to the school board for providing them with such a wonderful education. The students seemed to do nothing but smile pleasantly at the thought of the op¬ portunities that awaited them. “The entire administrative body laid out the ‘welcome mat’ ” said the yearbook, and the students tried to return the favor by being the most eager, well-scrubbed, and all-American bunch of kids that the adults could want. We may find many of these stu¬ dents’ ideas dated, but their confidence and goodwill are enviable. 6 Emory Chesley was Groveton ' s first principal and is currently the principal at Edison High School. He re¬ flected the attitude of the first students — enthusiastic and fresh — but added a touch of seriousness which was, of course, appropriate to his position. In the first year¬ book he wrote of Groveton’s “school spirit,” and of the “quality and abilities” of its students. He repeated the idealistic theme of the first year: “As we constantly seek to improve our school, we must search for the best in ourselves.” Today, Chesley has the same ideas, and he thinks the students do too. In a recent interview he stated: “If you don ' t want the best for yourself there’s something wrong with you. I don ' t think you all want anything materially different than the people who have gone before you. You have certain goals and aspirations. You better seek them.” • S . .■ ,, ' j .

The Groveton of ’56 was the Groveton when Be¬ acon Mall was Beacon Hill Airport, Villamay had three model homes, Huntington Rd. was an open lot, and Waynewood a vacant field of pine. The bowling alley and the Dixie Pig were the high school gathering places. Gibbs taught 10th grade math, p.e., and coached foot¬ ball on the side. When Robert Phipps left, during the summer of 1957, Gibbs became the assistant principal, and in December, ’59, he became principal when Emory Chesley resigned. He stayed until March, ’63 when he was appointed principal of Fort Hunt High School. While Gibbs was at Groveton, Bryant Intermediate was built — so the eighth graders left, and Groveton became a 9-12 school. Gibbs said that with the smaller age span, it was easier to expand and have more activities. Groveton was an innovative school for its time. The first large team teaching program was begun with an En¬ glish and Social Studies, two-period combination for ju¬ niors. There was a lso a two hour block of World Litera¬ ture and World History for sophomores. Groveton was the first area school, Gibbs said, to have a foreign lan¬ guage lab and a trial class in modem math. The school received statewide attention for its child care course. The physical structure of GHS expanded with the grow¬ ing population. During the first year of operation, the middle wing of the high school was added. When more students started driving, the upper parking lot was built. In comparing the student body of the ’50’s to the stu¬ dents of the ’70’s, George Gibbs said. “We didn’t worry, then, about a great many things that people worry about today. There wasn’t the degree of sophistication in the students that is present in today’s students. The impact of a media-oriented society was beginning to be felt, but the world wasn’t crashing in on us through television and announcements.” “I think we had more confidence in the future. We looked more to the future than to the present. I don’t think the students knew any more about the future than the students of today do; I think they had hope for the future. Today’s student has to separate his or her per¬ sonal problems from those of the total world . . . “We didn’t have the drugs. I suppose smoking and drinking a few cans of beer, and feeling and acting intoxi¬ cated was a kind of exhibitionism and demonstration that was for the most part — the exception. It was just a dif¬ ferent time altogether.” “Now we are in the times of super large high schools,” Gibbs said. When Groveton was just beginning, the prin¬ cipal knew just about everyone’s name. The individual personality had a better chance to survive with smaller numbers. The larger the number of people, the “greater the compounding of problems.” Problems and concerns do not increase arithmetically, he said, with the increase in the numbers of people — they quadruple,” School spirit has a better chance to be manifested on an indi¬ vidual basis when the individual has a chance to maintain some degree of dignity in the school environment.” he said. Groveton now is people, and it was people, Gibbs said. “This (new) Groveton will be no better, no worse, than all the Grovetons that have gone before. It will be in di¬ rect keeping with the people, the faculty, and the stu¬ dents. This is a grand old school . . . the new building is not going to do one thing for the students — the students are going to have to do it themselves. (The new school) is not going to do a thing for the faculty, the faculty is going to have to do it.” — Wendy Seligman 8 GROVETON ' S PRINCIPALS RODNEY TAYLOR ’63-’70 Rodney B. Taylor started teaching history at Groveton in 1958. He was a guidance counselor before he became principal in ’63. By 1970 Taylor had been at Groveton for 13 years, and Dr. Lawrence Watts, then Superintendent, told him he was “like part of the walls” and “had more spirit than the kids.” He was transferred to Falls Church High School, and later to Ft. Hunt. “Looking back, things were simple then. I don’t think high school kids today — as a unit, as a total school popu¬ lation — would really get behind a magazine drive to buy backboards for the gym. But, well, that’s the type of thing we did then, and that generated school spirit around ath¬ letics. Today, we’re into more meaningful things, deeper, more concerning. “I think that ’63, the death of Kennedy, was a turning point in our society, and I think it hit hard here, this school and its population. “The big thing they used to do here was put on a Funerama in the Spring, and believe it or not, we used to have a ferris wheel out here — right outside in this court, and we had swings . . . the whole school would turn out. We sold tickets. We’d suspend school for half a day to get you all in the spirit, and the various clubs had booths all over the place. They’d raise $4000 or $5000 with this big Funerama which started on a half day Friday and went through the weekend. Sometime during the sixties, Taylor said, “Things started happening: vending machi nes were vandalized, the teacher’s lounge was vandalized, and so was the school store (Mrs. Babb ran that) — and we got tired of it. We were bound and determined not to be defeated. “What we did is weird. You’ll laugh when I tell you. I hooked up a tape recorder microphone to the P.A. system to monitor the teacher’s lounge — but all we got on the tape the next day was the sound of jet airplanes.” Taylor said then he decided to hook a telephone up to the P.A. system and an $11 amplifier. Fd call the custodian from home every night so he could leave the phone off the hook” — the one that was tied into the amplifier and P.A. “Then I could hear any noises going on at school in my home. That darned thing worked.” It worked so well that he could even tell what part of the school the intruders were in. One night after a football game, several boys broke in to the school. Taylor called the police from home, the police went to school, caught the intruders, and arrested them. Another time Taylor caught two boys who had broken into the school vault through an opening in the ceiling tiles. The rumor went out that Groveton was bugged. And the County bricked up the wall. “It was really kind of silly, but we were frustrated — and it did work; my wife and I had a lot of false alarms though.” Among the best things that ever happened at GHS — with the students and faculty (Mrs. Kogelman could tell this story) — were the Junior class shows.” One year students and teachers played reverse roles. Taylor and his assistant principal, Mr. Jackson, switched roles with the custodians and replaced light bulbs all during the show. One student played Jack Hiller “hung up on his favorite book that year,” and in one skit “an elderly Southern lady who taught English” was dressed as a beatnik and zoomed with another leather-jacketed teacher across the stage on a real motorcycle. “Lots of little two-bit things. I don’t think that would go over today.” Before he left Groveton to become prin¬ cipal at Ft. Hunt, Taylor was made an honorary Thespi¬ an. In the first years of school integration at Groveton black students were “greeted as something special, but they seemed to have lost something by being scattered and spread out to other schools. Before, they had all gone to Luther Jackson — that’s out near Merrifield, they had to ride a bus for an hour to get there — and they had a good sports record there, and good programs.” It was natural, Taylor said, for them to group together at Grove¬ ton. He recalled the time that black students, who had not learned to vote as a bloc, were disappointed with the out¬ come of Pep Club elections and demonstrated in the halls, “Groveton is a honky school.” The incident was the basis for the formation of a dis¬ trict system of student government started when Bill Stewart was sponsor. The district system provides for students to caucus in neighborhood groups so that elec¬ tions are not “just popularity contests.” Taylor told students that Groveton was the first school in the County to institute the 10 minute break — and the first school to have a sitdown demonstration. He said Groveton teachers and administrators had staffed “a lot of the other high schools.” Men who have been principals at McLean, Woodson, and Lee High school were all from Groveton. Two of Ft. Hunt’s principals, Gibbs and Taylor, went there from GHS. When Taylor wanted to have Doris Torrice appointed assistant principal in ' 68, the County “had a lot of qualms about females.” Later she was principal at Groveton. Community involvement with the planning for the new school began during Taylor’s years, and continued through Mr. Torrice, Mr. Figgers, Mr. Ross and Mr. Ford. “Charrette got to be a bad word after a while.” in Taylor’s opinion. “Some people were disillusioned.” Asked by students why the projections for school popu¬ lation in this area had been “off’, Taylor said, “It’s what’s happening here, and in the Ft. Hunt area too: people are not moving. They retire and stay. Young people with children can’t afford to buy $80,000 homes.” Rodney Taylor will be back in the Groveton building in the fall of ’76 as principal of Bryant Intermediate. He said he has been interviewing “fantastically well- qualified young people, even for aide positions.” He is hoping that Bryant and Groveton will have a close work¬ ing relationship, he said. — Craig Kuhn — Mary Lisenby — Suzette Westphal DORIS TORRICE ’71-’73 “I was at Groveton for 10 years — the fall of ’63 was the first year. I was principal from ’71 to ’73, a counselor for 3 years, and assistant principal for 3 — guidance di¬ rector for 2 years. Yes, I think I’m probably the first woman high school principal, at least since World War II days. “When I first went to Groveton the percentage of stu¬ dents who went on to college after graduation was greater than ten years later. Groveton students were always very interesting students. They . . . weren’t afraid to ques¬ tion. They did a lot of thinking on their own. Very inter¬ esting people. So I found their attitudes very refreshing. ‘ ‘There was one particular program that we tried when I was there ... I suppose I was assistant principal then. We took 125 9th grade students and gave them the same English teacher, same math, Social Studies teachers, and the same guidance counselor. We tried to relate the sub¬ jects. Much of the criticism about high school as we now operate is that what you do in one subject doesn’t relate to other subjects. We attempted to do some of those things. We provided planning time for the teachers to work together. It was an interesting experience. Though it was difficult to say if it worked — there were a lot of problems with it because the students in that particular program didn’t particularly like to be separated and to be apart from the rest of the 9th graders — and to that de¬ gree we had some problems with student attitude. But that program was not something we continued. That was the last year I was assistant principal at Groveton. During that time when I was leaving there was nobody who was interested in picking it up — so it was dropped. “While I was working at Groveton, it was small enough that I was able to be very close in terms of what was going on with the students on a day to day basis. Also, to a certain degree — with the teachers. The student body of my last year at Groveton was around 1600. The size of Groveton, in my opinion, was a definite advantage. I think that students felt more a part of things. I know I was able to know the students a lot better, not only the faces, but the names as well, . . .You are able to per¬ sonalize things a lot more with a small school. “I think throughout the years, for the size of the student body, that Groveton students did quite well in terms of National Merit. Another thing I think about Groveton’s strength is that there have been some very outstanding teachers. Your school is just as strong as your teachers make it. “If I were given the opportunity to go back to Grove¬ ton? I . . . Sure . . . Why not!” — Julie Beller — Linda Choi — Marshall Smyley 10 JIM ROSS ’73-’75 Jim Ross was principal of Groveton from 1973 to 1975 — and had a hand in the planning of the new school al¬ most from the beginning. As an assistant to Lawrence Watts who was Superintendent of Schools in ’68, he re¬ presented the Superintendent during the years of the Charrette, the school-community planning group that spent many hours over an 8 year span working out the concept of a “community school” for the Groveton area. As Principal, Ross fielded the headaches when building started, made equipment requests, planned staff training, promoted the ideas of cross-discipline cooperation at the new school, and made the necessary compromises as in¬ flation continued to shrivel the money available for the school. An interview with Ross printed last year in Snake Hill to Spring Bank clarifies and brings to mind some of the obstacles that were encountered before a final go-ahead was given for the school. When the $7 million bond issue was passed (in ’68,) inflation made it impossible to build both Mt. Vernon and Groveton. “Clearly, Mt. Vernon was growing faster than the Groveton area,” so Mt. Vernon was built and “Groveton went back to the drawing boards.” Together with the community planners, the campus plan was de¬ signed. Although the school was originally planned (9 years ago) for 2800, subsequent population figures made it advisable to cut the academic halls capacity to 1400 — which could be expanded, Ross said, by building two pods later next to the media center if the population in¬ creases. 11 ♦♦Ray Barber Rayfield Barber was the first black student to attend Groveton. He had also been the first black in area Little League competition. He returned to Groveton in March, ’76, at the request of a journalism class, and answered the questions of students about his experiences in ’61 when he arrived as a freshman. His interviewers estimated his p resent age as “about 30,” and wrote that Barber was a “relaxed,” “friendly,” “sophisticated” man who “had his own little place in history.” Barber works now as a customer relations man for Eastern Airlines and also goes to the University of Maryland. Students asked him how he had come to be the first black at GHS. “My parents and I just talked about it one evening. It was a family decision. There was talk — Why not Fairfax County? Here it was only 8 miles from my house near Bryant to the District line, the nation’s capitol, and the decision had been passed by the Supreme Court in ’54. Why not go to school here?” “I didn’t really know what to expect, didn’t know what the County had in their plans. I had seen a television newscast of how state troopers and the federal troops had been pulled in in other areas of the country. When I got here to Groveton I didn’t see any County police or State police. I didn’t want any trouble, and I don’t know if I really came in scared or anything. I don’t know if we had any thoughts one way or another about it. I guess after I made my decision . . . that was just it. No, I didn’t actually go to court. There was a hearing a year prior to my coming to Groveton and we lost that decision, and then the lawyers took it to the court again the next year, and I think there were something like 7 or 8 of us involved, going to Fairfax County schools for the first time. We all set out the first few weeks of school rather than go to Luther Jackson. My home was less than 2 miles from Groveton, and Luther Jackson (which was out near Fairfax Hospital, but there was no 495 then) was like an hour and 20 minute bus ride. “If you missed the bus. Jack, you didn’t go to school.” Barbar explained that when he arrived he already knew many of the “jocks” at the school because of his activity in the Ft. Hunt baseball league. He was also in the band, so he knew the “non-jocks” too. He said he had a pretty wide circle of friends, both black and white. “Those who didn’t want to have any contact, didn’t. And others, for the most part I think, bent over back¬ wards to be super nice.” Barber was elected Senator (representative) of his freshman class. “I ran for vice-president of the sopho¬ more class, and I won that. At the end of my junior year, I was going to run for president of the student body, and I had thoughts about that, so I ran for vice-president and I was elected. “The State Student Cooperative Association had its annual meeting for the Northern Virginia area at Madison College, which at that time was an all girls’ school. Each school sent 3 representatives from the student govern¬ ment, and I was one of the representatives from Grove¬ ton. When the people at the state level found out I was black they didn’t want me to attend the conference, but then they said 1 could but there wouldn’t be any accom¬ modations for me at Madison College. Bruce Smith was president, and Bailey Evans was secretary and we all drove down to Harrisonburg. “My parents talked to my family minister and he knew a minister in that area so I stayed at his home which was about 20 miles from the campus.” The minister also lent a car to Rayfield, who just happened to have a brand new driver ' s license that spring; so he drove back and forth to the college and “everything went a lot better than I think the people in charge of the state program anticipated . . . Yes, later that summer there was the March on Washington.” Q. How about the athletic picture for blacks? “We were going to play Groveton’s arch rival Mt. Ver¬ non on a Saturday morning. I was playing defensive tackle on the freshman football team. Coach Kiely talked to the Mt. Vernon team and told ’em ‘You guys are going to be participating in this game with Ray Barber, and I don’t want you to hit him any lighter or any easier than you would any other player, but we hope that you won’t, you know, go out of your way to try to hurt him. He’s just another football player. And let’s play the game. And that’s the way it went. Think we got beat 6-0. “Following the football season, over at Madison High School, Preston Blackwell, a (black) junior, had gone out for varsity basketball and had made the team. At that time, I think Mr. Woodson (Woodson school is named after him) was superintendent, and he came down with a directive or memo saying he didn’t think the County schools were ready for an integrated athletic program at that time. This was following my having played 4 games with the freshman team. He was really directing it at Pre¬ ston in the Varsity athletic programs. So the coaches had to tell us that we couldn’t play with the teams. “Preston and I were both members of an organization, the Fairfax County Human Relations Committee. We talked it over with the members of the County Youth Or¬ ganization and they said, ‘Let’s show what student sup¬ port we have for an integrated sports program.’ So we circulated a petition through the student body of all the schools represented at the Youth organization to get them to sign it. “The members of the student association here thought maybe as a body they couldn’t circulate it because it was actually written up by an organization outside the school — the county human relations group. But they said as individuals they could sign, and well, I’m pretty sure that the majority of the students in the student government signed, and there were others in the school here who helped me circulate the petition. Some schools who didn’t even have black students were able to get a lot of sup¬ port. “Later there was a meeting of the School Board, and the petitions were turned in. They dropped the directive for the track season, and both Preston and I ran track later that year.” Asked about his dating as a student at Groveton, Barber said he hadn’t dated much. Two of the three black girls at the school were his sisters and anyway, “I was a superjock, or thought I was.” Q. Would it be safe to say Fairfax County had been a little more liberal than, say, Arkansas or those other states? “Fairfax County was still part of Virginia, still is. And there were signs and things here locally — for instance, J.C. Penney’s in Alexandria, the Murphy’s department store in Alexandria, had white and colored toilet signs — this, when I was a Freshman at Groveton — in your lifetime. “The Dixie Pig — I knew I didn’t go there for a ham¬ burger — the Dairy Queen, allright. This area still had a lot of signs of the South. For instance, every national and state holiday, in the city of Alexandria, in ’64 they were still hanging out Confederate flags on the lamposts on the 4th of July and Labor Day. The theaters. In Alexandria at that time there was, I think, one theater blacks went to, Carver theater. The Reed, the Virginia, I think also the Richmond, — when I went to Groveton blacks did not go to those theaters. You go there to buy a ticket and you were told No, you cannot attend the show here. Bakeries, the Shuman Bakery in Alexandria, although they may have had black workers at that time, blacks did not go into Shuman’s and buy cake at the counter. You didn’t sit at the counter at Murphy’s — or at the People’s Drug Store down here at Belleview. You didn’t sit at the counter. “Was Fairfax County more liberal? I don’t know. Groveton is a melting pot of a student body. You had the kids from Belle Haven and Bucknell, the trailer courts, the blacks — there were a lot of students in transit and military — so you had people who had some contact with blacks and people other than just whites, people who had travelled.” Students began to discuss with Barber present-day pre¬ judice. He recalled a time he was in Turkey in the service rooming with a guy named Dave. Dave said to him one day “You know, you’re different than most colored guys I know.” “We talked about it. How many black guys had he shared a room with? — How many black guys had he played ball with daily? How many black people had he got to know as a person? Dave was probably different to me being in a person-to-person situation too. Dave got to know me other than ‘There’s a black guy over there.’ “There still are subtle things that happen. For instance — I work at Eastern Airlines now — little things that happen in a public situation. Aircraft seating arrange¬ ments are separate, smokers and non-smokers. Some people say ‘Well, you want to sit in the front or the back?’ To some blacks, although it maybe shouldn’t, that coming from a white agent is like the back of the bus. There are little small things that people are still really sensitive about. For instance, an agent working with a customer and handing him back his change or handing him back a credit card. Say a black customer has his hand out, and that change is put on the counter, or that credit card is laid down — these are little things that still key anxiety between people. A lot of little subtle things.” — Scott Towle — Chuck Karas — Wendy Seligmann 13 ♦♦♦Josephine Wood Miss Wood has been here at Groveton since the school opened in ’56, and will retire as it moves to a new site in ’76. She says that now she will do the things she has been unable to do while teaching. She will devote her time to her many hobbies — such as writing poetry, bird watch¬ ing, and making her own greeting cards. Miss Wood said that her life has revolved around Groveton, her science classroom, her students, activities, and the faculty. She finds it rewarding to see students who graduate from Groveton but come back to see her and tell her what’s been going on in their lives. One of her fond memories is the excitement of starting a new school in ’56. She found it a challenge because the facilities at Groveton then were the newest and most ad¬ vanced in the County. She remembers the students select¬ ing the mascot, naming the publications, and writing the school song. She remembers having to learn the song her¬ self. When the school first opened, she said, the school cafeteria wasn’t open. For 3 months students had to bring their own lunches. There was a prayer posted in the cafeteria that would be said aloud by one student and repeated by others who wanted to say it. Groveton has changed gradually in course offerings, extra-curricular activities, and student responses. As a sponsor of the Science Club, the Christian Fellowship group, and the Groveton Honor Code, Miss Wood ob¬ served “the constant ups and downs of interest.” Miss Wood remembers that the Science Club was so big some years that, when the Science Fair came up, there were so many entries that GHS had to hold its own Fair to eliminate some of the projects. She had been the religious club sponsor at Mt. Vernon where she taught before coming to Groveton, so it was natural for her to start the Christian Fellowship group here. She and Ms. Turner sponsored the Honor Code. Students would receive a card and sign a scroll in the cafeteria if they wished. Often teachers would ask stu¬ dents to place their Honor Code cards on their desks while taking tests. If a student got caught cheating, the Honor Council would discuss the matter with the student. Of her 20 years at Groveton Ms. Wood has many tang¬ led memories. It is hard, she said, to sort them all out, or to list them. Although she probably will not be returning to GHS as a teacher or substitute, she is a person who is a part of its history — and of the lives of many GHS stu¬ dents. — Debi Downham 14 R.
