A monitor system was again used this year to supervise conduct in the halls. A representative was chosen to serve on the executive committee of the P.T.A. Representatives were sent to the Student Counci I Association Con- vention of the Richmond District again this year. The faculty advisors were Mrs. Eliza Cage and Mrs. Rhoda Buckley. 26 SLA es As we write this, the fourth edition ofThe Slashes, since its revival in 1948, is in the pro- cess of painful assemblage by the harassed staff. Each page of this the 1950 edition re- presents hours of work by some student . The awesome total of classes disrupted, classes missed, activities for which we had no time is certainly discouraging. But when this Volume has returned to us from the publisher to serve as a reminder anda record ofourhappy, care- free days at Henry Clay, we shall remember the long afternoons and weekends that we spent in working on the annual and we shal I decide that it was, indeed, worth our every effort. 1ST ROW, SEATED: Hilda Powers, Shirley Mallory, Jimmy Vaughan, Pat’ Blair, Editor; Harriet Packard, Evelyn Wall. 2ND ROW; LeReve Mallory, Ottellia Teibel, Anne Turner, Corrie Gillespie. 3RD ROW: James Allen, Glen Bice, Hatcher Wells, John Packard, Hugh Campbell. 27 1ST ROW; Betty Lou Sykes, Pat ' Blair, Harriet Packard, Editor; Elvin Baker, Gay White, Hilda Powers. 2ND ROW; Audrey Peregoy, Virginia Corley, Mary Jo Hall, Ethel Howard, Gladys Loving, Ottellia Teibel. 3RD ROW; Joan Tyson, Dale Maddox, Janet Palmore, Robin Jacques, Beverly Stone, Mary Jane Cooke, Corrie Gillespie. The Eagle Lights, our school paper, has con- tinued publication under the sponsorship ofthe Future Business Leaders of America. The staff in- augurated a few changes in the make-up of the paper this year, dividing each page into two columns, and using the front page for current news, rather than for a full-page picture. Representatives were again sent to the annual Southern Interscholastic Press Association at Lexington. The paper was entered this year in the competition at the convention. Miss Ola Murray has done an excel lent job as faculty advisor for the paper, relieving the busy editor of much important work. 28 1ST ROW: Elvin Baker, Miss Ola Murray, Sponsor; Anne Turner, Pat ' Blair, President; Gladys Mae Loving, Dorothy Taylor, Michael Grieve. 2ND ROW; Ethel Howard, Mary Jane Cook, Shirley Powers, Janet Palmore, Jean Mallory, Beverly Stone, Gay White, Hilda Powers, Polly Ayers. 3RD ROW; Eleanor Liestra, Gwen Haley, Dale Maddox, Peggie Eyler, Jerry Lee Haley, Shirley Mallory, Etta Stanley, Judson Vaughan, Hampton Jesse, Susan Ayers.

The band has completed another successful year under the capable direction of Mr. Troxell. Last spring, at the 1950 Annual Music Festival In Richmond, we received a III rating. This year we hope to do better with players of more experience and the larg- est number of elementary members that we have ever had. The elementary members will provide for a continuously large and experienced band for the coming years. When they reach high school, they will be the foundation on which the band will be built. The experience that they are now acquiring will be a val- uable asset to them in the future. The band played for the Memorial Day exercises last spring and has also played for the Randolph“Macon football games. The officers for this year are: President, John Packard; Vice- Presidents, James Allen and C.J. Holey; Secretary-Treasurer, Anita Heflin; Librarian, Jean Leadbetter; Manager, Linwood Att- kisson . Again we are looking forward to the Festival and another suc- cessful year. 30 With man kind words and a lot of patience, Mr, William Troxell brought the glee club through another very successful season. Our most important event for the spring of 1950 was the Annual Music Festival, held at Thomas Jefferson High School in Richmond, in which we received an excellent rating. A choir and the whole chorus sang at grad- uation . With the coming of fal 1 came the task of presenting the annual operetta . Thanks is due our director and to all those who helped to make this operetta a success. Our last singing performance for 1950 was the singing of carols in the Christmas assembly and at the lighting of the Community tree. 1ST ROW: Louise Mills, Lucille Mills, Peggie Eyler, Frances Muttle, Betty Lou Sykes, Ottellia Teibel, President: Pat Blair, Jean Leadbetter, Virginia Mabry, Hilda Powers, Janet Palmore, Amanda Dillon, Marie LaFoon, Louise Teibel. 2ND ROW; Margaret Myers, Mary Garland Cox, Susan Ayers, LeReve Mallory, Mary Jo Hall, Sarah Hannah, Shirley Mallory, Jerry Lee Haley, Anne Jennings, David Webb, Gwen Haley, Anne Turner, Joan Tyson, Shirley Powers, Harriet Packard. 3RD ROW: Beverly Moore, Elizabeth Bumpass, Barbara Holland, Evelyn Wall, Beverly Stone, Ruby Mallory, Dorothy Taylor, Gladys Mae Loving, Glen Brice, Otho Sledge, Michael Grieve, Nancy Webb, Jeanne Bull, Lois Attkisson. 4TH ROW: Eleanor Leistra, Audrey Peregoy, Vicki Ambrose, Mary Randolph Blunt, Mary Jane Cooke, Shirley Charlton, Dorothy Atkins, Jean Mallory, Milton Leake, Thomas Carter, Linwood Attkisson, Jimmy Vaughan, Barbara Quarles, Diana Curtis, Emma Belle Childress. 5TH ROW: Eddie Marshburn, Billy Babcock, Hatcher Wells.

This club, sponsored by the English department, has existed for the benefit of those students interested in dramatics; i.e., acting, staging, and directing. The club is composed of members who have shown outstanding ability in any of the various phases of high school dramatic productions. Every spring the Dramatic Club enters a play in the Group II, District II division of the Virginia High School League ' s annual One-Act Play Tournament. Last year ' s production was A Minuet, by Louis N. Parker. The club hopes to present a second play during the year in addition to the production for the Tournament, thus giv- ing to more students the invaluableopportunity of part- icipating in a dramatic production. 32 The purpose of the Library Club is to promote interest in the school library, to encourage good reading, and to help its members learn moreaboutthe work ofa librarian. Student library assistants who are interested in these aims may become members of this club. This year the club observed National Book Week by sponsor- ing two movies pertaining to the library which were shown at a school assembly. For the first time in the school ' s history, a representative from the Library Club was chosen to serve with the P.T.A. Library Committee. At the regular December meeting, the club held a Christmas party for its members which was the highlight of its social life for the year. Mrs. Rhoda Buckley, school librarian, is the sponsor and faculty advisor of the club. 1ST ROW: Etta Stanley, Susan Ayers, Gay White, Harriett Packard, President; Frank Hoffman, Vivian Stone. 2 ND ROW; Thomas Carter, Beverly Jesse, David Bass, Beverly Stone, Michael Grieve, Evelyn Wall, June Thornhill, Beverly Moore, Glen Brice, Vemell Stanley, Georgia Anne Johnson, Otho Sledge, Lucy Carter Mallory, Shirley Powers, Annie Mae Jacobs, Tommy Leake. 33 1ST ROW: Milton Leake, Glen Brice, Hugh Campbell, Hatcher Wells, Pres- ident; Judson Vaughan. 2ND ROW; Roy Haley, Ben Hutchenson, Billy Marshburn, Wayne Joy, Jimmy Vaughan, John Packard.

Henry Clay ' s chapter, com- posed of boys in the sophomore, juniorand senior classes, has been very active this year. As the theme of the Key Club is service to the school and community, the club has helped with the War Memorial Dances, decorated the Community Christ- mas Tree, raised funds for the high school Athletic Association and is planning to contribute a second curtain for the aud- itorium as ne of its school projects for the year. 34 The members of the Bios Club hove chosen as their colors, and very appropriately, green and gold to represent plant life and light. The club is composed of students with an A average in Biology, and an average of at least C in their other studies.

Offensively, Coach Chick Pollock had the Eagles running out of a split ! attack that v as effective against teams of our size or class. However, most of the games we had scheduled were against teams with more re- servesand entirely out of ourclass. Although the Eagles won no games, they ' bowed no lack of spirit and they fought for each game. ASHLAND 0 FALMOUTH 19 On a muddy field, the lighter Eagles were outclassed by a heav- ier and more experienced Falmouth team; the Eagles fought hard al- though it was a losing battle. ASHLAND 0 MANCHESTER 30 Manchester, with more and bigger players, scored over Ashland at will, as the scoreless Eagles offense failed to catch fire often enough . ASHLAND 0 CHESTER 25 In the first quarter, Ashland came close to scoring, but a pass play failed, the attack bogged down, and Chester went on to win. ASHLAND 0 HIGHLAND SPRINGS 60 In a nightmare ball game, H.S. romped at ease over the injured Eagles. The Eagles were not even in the ball game. ASHLAND 18 POWHATAN 30 Playing at Powhatan, Ashland led at half time. Once Powhatan forged ahead, though Ashland let up, and what should have been a victory tuiVied into a loss. ASHLAND 0 LOUISA 32 The Eagles, playing before a homecoming crowd at Ashland, played a bad game and underdog Louisa marched up and down the field with little resistance. ASHLAND 0 VARINA 65 After missing a first period touchdown by a yard, the Eagles, collapsed and were trampled by Varina for the rest of the game. 40 FIRST ROW: Hampton Jesse, Eddie Marshburn, Jimmy Vaughan, Paul Carr, Bob Gravett, Herbert Cross, Walter Baughan, David Christian, Richard Adams, Alvin Whitbeck.

With no lettermen returning this year, the Eagle Basketball team had a lot of rebuilding to do. The team is made up of the Junior Varsity from last year, and two newcomers from other schools. Although we have won only one game in seven starts, the Eagle quintet has kept the scores close in many of the games. The scrappy Eagles are hindered by not having many tall boys. Next year we expect bigger things from the boys, since only two seniors will be leoving . ardlL (J3a dLetLa H 42 The J. V. Basketball team had eight games scheduled. The little Eagles suffer from lack of size in comparison to other J. V. teams they played. Even though they do not have a victorious season, they boast a fighting, and scrappy team.

This makes the 1950-1951 record two wins, one tie, and one loss . Six monogram winners returned this year . They are: Joan Tyson, Hilda Powers, Pat ' Blair, Shirley Mallory, Diana Curtis, and Anne Turner. The Seniors leaving us are: Joan Tyson, our fast center who scored three-fourths of the goals this season; Hilda Powers, who- did a wonderful job at left fullback; Pat ' Blair who held down right inner; and Anne Turner, whose big shoes at left inner are left to be filled next year. We feel certain that the team has nothing to worry about next year, with a wonderful coach like Miss Hodgson and the fine spiritand determination of the girls. With all of us be- hind them, we can rest assured that they will go through their next season with no losses. J ocki (gv 44 . r The girl ' s basketball team does not have a victorious record to mark to its credit this year, as practice difficulties were the same as previous years. However, with thepepand spirit they have, the season was enjoyed by all . We played a seven game schedule, with the team showing Improvement as the season progressed. We will miss our captain, Joan Tyson, next year after playing three years. Carrie Gillespie, our other Senior loss, has been with the team two years. Next year the Eagles will have four monogram winners returning . With all their spiritand determination, we know the girls will have a great team next year.
