Our student council is made up of the student coun- cil officers elected by the student body, the respective class presidents, and a representative from each home room. The election of officers is held in the spring, the term of office beginning in the fall at the opening of school. The student council has taken over much of the triv- ial part of the administration — disciplinary problems, suppressing noisiness, and trying to keep the school and grounds clean. Some of these problems have been solved by the organizing of monitors, n these and other problems, the student council is doing an excel- lent job. 24 ! Although we got off to a very slow start, the 1950 SLASHES is at last an actuality. There was that mad rush to meet the deadlines, some of us even giving up part of our Christmas holidays to help. There were those pretty afternoons that we had to stay at school to cut and paste pictures, putting them in alphabetical or- der, and facing the never-ceasing fear of misspelled names. And last but not least, there was that black cloud of ads. But through the excellent cooperation and support of our many advertisers, our SLASHES finally went to press. Even though it was months of hard work for our loyal annual staff, as we look back on our jobs, they seem more a pleasure than a chore.

Any girl in the Henry Clay High School who has taken a homemaking course may belong to the Future Homemakers of America. The aims of the club are: promoting a growing apprecia- tion of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking, encouraging democracy in home and community life, nromoting international good will, furthering the development of creative leadership in home and community life, and furthering inrerest in home economics. A student that does outstanding work is awarded degrees of achievement. Men and women who show special interest in pro- moting our activities are also awarded emblems. Most of the activities of the club are related to the interest of the home. Various socials help to acquaint girls, parents, and teachers with each other. Money-making projects are sponsored, the proceeds of which are used in improving the interior and exterior of the cottage and in contributions to the F. F. A. — F. H. A. camp maintenance fund. 26 I The Future Farmers of America is a National organization of boys studying Vocational Agriculture in the rural high schools. This organization was chartered in 1928. The Slash Cottage (Ashland) Chapter of the Future Farmers of America was organized in Ashland High School in 1934. It is one of 220 local chapters in Virginia, with a state membership of 7500 boys. The Ashland chapter has had an active enrollment of 34 mem- bers for 1949-50. The F. F. A. has local chapters in all of the forty-eight states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico with a total membership of 375,000 boys.

The objectives of the Key Club are to develop leadership and initiative, to provide experience in living and working to- gether, to serve the school and community, and to promote the objectives of Kiwanis International. The Key Club has completed a number of projects this year. The members sold drinks and helped in the booths at the Kiwanis Carnival, decorated the community Christmas tree, and sold refreshments at school games. Most of the club mem- bers attended the international convention in Washington, D. C. last year. 28 l rumatic One of the oldest clubs in the high school is the Dra- matic Club. The Dramatic Club limits its membership to students who have shown outstanding ability in dra- matics, both in acting and stage work. This year the Dra- matic Club gained many new members from the operetta, Meet Arizona, which was presented in December. In the spring the Dramatic Club usually enters a one act play in the Virginia Literary and Athletic League Dis- trict Two, One-Act Play Tournament, held in Fredricks- burg. Last year we presented Mooncalf for this contest. This spring the Dramatic Club is planning to present three one-act plays for the public and from these three plays select the one to be presented in Fredricksburg.

This year the Commercial Club became a chap- ter of the Future Business Leaders of America, a national organization. Only students, who have taken or are taking a commercial subject, are eligible for membership. The club sponsors speak- ers, movies and assemblies as a means of acquaint- ing the members with business. Under the guid- ance of Miss Ola Murray the club has continued to publish the school paper, the name of which was changed from the Commercial News to the Eaf’le Lights. 30 Our school paper, The Eagle Lights, had its beginning as a bulletin of the Commer- cial Club, circulating club news among the members. Within a short time it grew into a school publication, though still sponsored by the commercial students who composed the staff. The Eagle Lights is published four to six times annually. It is mimeographed and stapled by the staff and assistants recruited from the student body. It contains news, articles, and other items of interest to the students.

The purpose of the Library Club is to promote interest in the school library, to encourage good reading, and to help its members learn more about the work of a librarian. Student library as- sistants who are interested in these aims may be members. This year the club observed National Book Week by making various posters and by sponsor- ing a speaker at a school assembly. Club pins were bought this year and a constitution was put into effect. The club also sponsored open house” for parents and townspeople who wished to use the library. The club is sponsored by Mrs. Rhoda Buckley, school librarian. 32 I w. onog runi The Monogram Club is made up of students who have participated in one or more sports. Its purpose is to encourage athletics and good sports- manship. This year the club sponsored the annual Homecoming Dance which followed the Ashland-Varina Home- coming Game. Miss Hodgson and Mr. Pollock were honored at a party given by the club.

Many new members have been added to it this year. We played in the Festival last Spring and came out with a 2 rating. Next year w-e hope to do better. The band played for the Kiwanis Club and for several football games. We also played at the Faculty-Student” basketball game and have tried to help the college out a little at their games. Even though we lost many of our good players, we have made out fine and hope to have as good a season next year. 34 In 19 9, the glee club under the very capable direction of Mr. William S. Troxell, presented its 8th annual operetta, Nieet Arizona, a dude ranch comedy and romance of the far west. This production required many hours of hard work and was presented two nights in the high school auditorium filled with citizens of Ashland and Hanover County. The money raised from this operetta is given to the library for the benefit of the whole school. Last year the glee club attended the annual spring festival which was held in Richmond at the Thomas Jefferson High School. We received a rating of 2 which is equal to excellent. We expect to attend it once again next year and we hope to do as well. Mr. Troxell, Director Carlene Mitchell, Accompanist First row.

The Bios Club is made up of students who have achieved an A average in Biology and at least a C average in other classes and who are interested in science. The faculty adviser for the club is Miss Hodgson. The members of this club hope to interest the student body in science courses and to aid in furthering knowledge of science in the school and community. 36 Y Jonitord (Bui 2)i TLuerS Across the front: Glen Brice, Jimmy Vaughan, Charles Litchford, Lloyd Tignor, Charles Cannon, Jervis Wingfield, Keith Taylor, Gaynell Lowry, Peggy Smith, Nancy Jean Stanley.

The Monitors are a service group under the juris- diction of the Student Council. They see that order is kept in the halls and on the grounds of our school. There are forty members in this group. 37 38 With most of the mainstays of Henry Clay High School’s football team graduating last year, Coach Chick Pollock had quite a job rebuilding a football team around six lettermen and only a few inexperienced junior varsity mem- bers. A new coach and a green” team encountered further difficultie s as they changed offensively from the single wing to the T”. As can be easily seen, the team did not start scoring until the latter half of the season, and then managed to win two of the last four games. Defensively, the team suffered from mis- takes due to inexperience; lack of big aggressive linemen and of reserves also hurt us — many of our opponents just overpowered us. ASHLAND-0 SEPTEMBER 16 VARINA-6 Ashland’s lineup, laden with inexperienced boys, played Varina on even terms un- til the 3rd quarter when Varina pushed across their only score when they recovered a fumble inside Ashland’s ten yard line. ASHLAND-Q SEPTEMBER 23 FALMOUTH-U Ourw ' eighed but not outplayed Ashland held Falmouth for the first quarter but ex- perience and reserves paid off for Falmouth. ASHLAND-0 OCTOBER 14 MANCHESTER- ! Manchester had too many big, experienced players for the light Ashland team. Re- serves were too many for Ashland as Manchester scored at will. ASHLAND-6 OCTOBER 21 CHESTER-52 Attkisson scored Ashland’s first touchdown of the season on a handoff from Wickam, the quarterback, but prevailed to a superior Chester team. ASHLAND-0 OCTOBER 28 HIGHLAND SPRINGS-50 The game played on a rainsoaked field was a nightmare for Ashland as Highland Springs scored at will. ASHLAND-19 NOVEMBER 4 POWHATAN-6 Ashland scored their first win of the season when they met an evenly matched foe. Sawyer scored twice for Ashland. ASHLAND-28 NOVEMBER 11 LOUISA-6 Five players took part in the scoring as Ashland romped to its second straight vic- tory. Every member of the squad played a bang-up game against Louisa. It was Home- coming for Louisa. ASHLAND-15 NOVEMBER 18 BEAUMONT-52 Injuries to some key players in the Louisa game plus loss of Sawyer who transfer- red to another school, was the downfall of Ashland. Beaumont ou tplayed the Eagles from start to finish of the game. ASHLAND-6 NOVEMBER 25 VARINA-19 Ashland’s Blue Eagles, who for two years straight had victories in Homecoming games, was dealt a defeat by Varina on Homecoming. Varina previously had beaten Henry Clay in its first game of the season. 40 First Row. Ed Cox, Dick Biondo, John Scrivener, Herbert Cross, Russell Bumpass, O. P.

Ashland opened the season with the starting five from last year but the odds were against the team which lacked height, speed and reserves. Speedy Mills was the leading scorer of the team and ranked with the leaders in the Suburban League. Every member of the team played creditable basketball but Ashland won only two games. Opposite page — Front row: John Jones, Hugh Campbell, Coach Pollock, Ben Hutche- son, Billy Babcock. Standing: Jack Stevenson, Ned Taylor, Linwood Attkisson, Paul Reid. The first junior varsity team ever formed at Henry Clay High School was organized in basketball this year. Every member of the team hustled and had real basketball spirit. Lack of practice dimmed their chances against their op- ponents who had a gymnasium in which to practice. In the middle of the sea- son, B. Reid and L. Attkisson became members of the varsity. Every game the team played was close but Ashland never came out on top. The team gave good account of itself in every game it played. 43 First row: Polly Ayers, Manager, Carlene Mitchell, Diana Curtis, Shirley Mallory, Janet Geis, Anne Merritt, Anne Turner, Carolyn Smith, Joan Tyson, Hilda Powers, Betty Lead- better, Corrie Gillespie, and Miss Hodgson. Second row: Lois Attkisson, Jean Mallory, Betty Lou Sykes, Pat Blair, Louise Teibel, and Marie LaFoon, Manager. Another season has passed and the Eaglettes of Henry Clay have completed another successful year with three wins and one tie. With only eighteen girls out for the squad, we take our hats off to them for keeping fine spirit and sportsmanship. Monogram winners who returned this year were Joan Tyson, Anne Turner, Hilda Powers, Anne Merritt, Ann Mallory, Janet Geis, Carolyn Smith, and Corrie Gillespie. We are very sorry we are going to lose some of our star players: Ann Mallory, who held down right fullback; Betty Leadbetter, our plunging right inner; Anne Merritt, our fast left wing; Janet Geis, who was always there to back up the forward line, and last but not least Carolyn Smith, our impassable goalie, who played a large part in keeping the opposing team’s score down. With most of our starting lineup leaving this year, we still have the rest of our players, good will and determination to keep our record un- defeated. 44 KsLiUf First row: Carolyn Smith, Mary Simms, Lucille Mills, Joan Tyson, Ann Merritt, Hilda Powers, Betty Leadbetrer, Mary Jo Hall. Second row: Ottellia Teibel, Assistant Manager, Louise Mills, Harriet Packard, Jerry Lee Haley, Carlene Mitchell, Miss Hodgson, Ann Turner, Corrie Gillespie, Shirley Hall, Pat Blair, Manager. When our coach, Miss Hodgson, called for basketball practice this year, she was very pleased to find forty girls showing interest by reporting. The same old handicap of not having a gymnasium made it rough going for the girls; however, it can never be said that this kept the spirit of our Eaglettes down. Maybe our scores were not too good, but it was the fun of playing that kept the girls interested. We feel that with so much interest on the part of the students and with the prospeas of our new gymnasium, the Henry Clay Eaglettes will be hard to beat next year. 45 a eerieudi ers Clockwise: Lucille Mills, Joan Tyson, Polly Ayers, Peggy Smith, Betty Leadbetter, Janet Geis, Harriet Packard, Sarah Hannah, Louise Mills.
