In presenting the school day as the theme for THE 1953 SLAS- SHES, we have used these symbols of time. Grandpa Clock represents the mature seniors, old and wise in judg- ment; the big Alarm represents the juniors, enthusiastic and boisterous in youth; the Cuckoo Clock symbolizes the would-be sophistocated sophomores, and the Baby Ben, of course, characterizes the freshmen.

The club acquired many new members and participated in school activities. A one-act play, The Welch Honeymoon , was produced for competition in the Virginia High School League play festival. The leads were played by Jimmy Allen as Vavasour Jones and Anita Heflin as his wife, Catherine. Others were Arthur Burgess as Eiler, Joan Blickenstaff as Mrs. Morgan, and John Packard as Howell Howell. The play was a folk-type comedy por- traying the charm and humor of the Welch country people . The dialogue was difficult to master but lent an interesting effect. In the play Catherine and Vavasour, both miserable from years of quarreling, pray for each other ' s death. In the year that follows each decides to be kind to the other during the lasthours. Of course, they fall in love and the play builds up to a surprise climax. Many dramatic club activities are planned for the coming year.

He also rated high in the District II, Group II schools. The basketball squad was hard hit by graduation last year with the loss of eight lettermen. However, an enthusiastic squad worked hard and kept up their fighting spirit throughout the season. Gilbert Luck, asophomore, showed promises of becoming one of Henry Clay ' s brightest stars. He handled the ball well all season and started contributing to the score board toward the last of the season. Byrd Turner waialso asophomore, but, opposite from Luck in height, who stands 5 ' 3 , Turnerstands 6 ' 5 and also shows signs of a great future. Coleman Lynam was probably the most improved member of the team. Lynam had an excellent eye for the basket and with this year ' s experience behind him should be ready to go next season. Alvin Witbeck, a senior, played a steady game of ball handling all year. Boys like Gillespie, Bob Gravatt, Allen, Packard, Maxey, and Marshburn aided the team a great deal and the experience of Gillespie and Marshburn should make them a sure bet for next year ' s starting five.

Many weeks of hard work, learning songs, collecting jokes and digging up old costumes, brought forth a production rarely seen in these parts. The cast included more than a hundred students with a chorus composed of the Glee Club members, and specialty acts by the Messrs. Wightman and Tucker. End men were Gerald Tudor, Paul Carr, Jimmy Allen and Coach Stanley. John Packard was Mr. Interlocter. yidvcrt 15 ements HALEY AND DURRETT Hardware Builder ' s Supplies Dial 7521 BOOSTERS FARMERS SUPPLY FEED DUKES MARKET WEBSTER ' S PHILCO R. G. CARLTON W. L.
