The right to realize our individual ambitions, to control our own future, and live our own lives are blessings of democracy. But there are responsibilities involved in participat¬ ing in a democratic government. In graduating we have proven ourselves partially capable of this participation. But we are not fully prepared and should do all we can in the near future to increase our understanding of our gov¬ ernment. In this day of dictatorships it is becoming increas¬ ingly apparent that a majority of mankind is not yet prepared to accept the responsibilities of democracy. Therefore, they must forego them and the greatest prob¬ lem facing us, the graduating class of ’39, is “to preserve for ourselves and our posterity the blessings of democ¬ racy.” JOEL GARFSNKLE Editor-in-chief JAMB AMEEN Asst Editor ELIZABETH WOLfE Asst.

The month for which I longed, has come. And now in the dust and cobwebs of my mind, Appear memory ’s dim dark secrets one by one. And the past four years of High School days unwind. At first, in the dim corridors of my mind - I’m quite mixed up it seems—and lost, I fear; My way about the place 1 cannot find; Of course it’s all the same—my Freshman year. But noiv I’m well established in my mind. My malice on the freshmen I can smear. Why yes —I study hard, but never grind. Of course you’ve guessed by now—my Sophomore year. I’ve tried my best this year to rise and shine, And to calm waters my education steer, I now begin to think I have a mind. In this the best of all—my Junior year. Ah! Bright and clear my darkened mind becomes — With rings and friends and bygone mem’ries dear; In a year so busy my mem’ry fairly hums. Then I bid farewell to thee—my Senior year. And now the waves of time roll slowly on, And dim forever with a hallowed haze The days I’ve loved so well and known so long; They will not pass away—my High School days. — Elizabeth Marable iiimmmmiiHMiiiiiMitmiiiiiiHiMi imHimiimiHiMMiHMiHimmiimii lllltlMIIIIIHMIMMIIMIMIIIIIIIHIIHIH m m HUGH BIRCHETT, Jr. President Senior Class MARGIE LASLIE ADAMS Academic Course Athapulguc High School: Class Rep¬ resentative, ’36; Hi-Y Club: Pep Club.

Although at first called “rats” we were determined to win the favor of our teachers and schoolmates. Due to our size, the largest class ever to enter Hopewell High School, we were divided into five groups, later into four. Our teachers, Miss Wenger, Miss Brittle, Miss Reese, Miss Gilbert and Mrs. Douglas, helped us through many trying times. We were proud of our school enrollment. For the first time we belonged to the Class A. This year eve had fine athletic teams, and although we did not take an active part in them, we sup ported the Athletic Association by attending the games. Exemptions from our examinations helped us at last to be Sophomores. Sophomore We entered our Sophomore term with hopeful hearts for a successful year. This year we had Miss Bell, Miss Robertson, Mr. Thompson, Mrs. Sutherland, and Mrs. Jenks for our teachers. Many of us joined the various clubs, became more interested in athletics, and other activities of the school. As we .had no exemptions this year we had to work hard to pass. Then we were Jun¬ iors, past the half-way mark of our goal of four years of hard work. Junior This year we had the satisfaction of having conquered the hardships of our first two years and were now really important. Our class combined with the low Juniors and sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom, the profit from which was used to give the outstanding event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet. Miss Will, Mrs. Parson, Miss Bell, and Miss Trosvig were our teachers. Our new Athletic Field was dedicated this year, and we were proud of having one of the best fields in the state. This year many of our members were taking an active interest in Athletics. We had to work hard to pass our examinations and meet the requirements of being a Senior. Senior Our goal at last for which we had been striving for three long years! We were proud to be called “Dignified Seniors” and be looked upon as school leaders. There was much ex¬ citement about the rings, pictures, and Kaleidoscope. We were very proud of our football and basketball teams which gained state-wide recognition. Our Senior teachers wore Miss Daniel, Mr. Smith, Mr. Sutherland, and Mr. Beckwith. We had charge of the school news in the Hopewell News. This year also, for the first time since 1934, we had May Day exercises. With great joy we were looking forward to the Banquet, Class Day, and Graduation. Under the guidance of Mr. Sutherland we worked very hard to make a success of the 1939 Kaleidoscope, which we think is the best yet. The Senior Class wishes to exprss to Mr. Mallonee and the members of the faculty their deepest appreciation for their untiring effort to help us reach our goal—graduation. It is with many fond memories and deepest regrets that we say “good bye to Hope- well High School.” VIRGINIA WOOD - CLASS HISTORIAN. Kaleidoscope page thirty T HE CALENDAR! Why it was June 2, 1949, and I had promised, with all my fellow graduates of Hopewell Hi, at the school ten years earlier, for a reunion. I was half way around the world, in Ceylon, where I was holding down my position of an assistant to a tea taster. I had to keep my promise. Upon securing a leave of absence, I immediately went to the airport. I boarded a plane for Manila. The next morning I took the Clipper for home. Believe it or not, the pilots of the Clipper were LeRoy Tatum and Steve Skroback. The navigation officer was Wallace Alderson. I was served during the trip by Mr. Mario Alexander, steward. Among my fellow passengers were Mr. Harrell Barnes, a missionary and his assistant, Francis Morris. All were leaving for Hopewell immed¬ iately upon arrival in the U. S. A. Two days later we landed at San Francisco. I immediately took off for a transcontinental flight to Hopewell. Upon landing at the Hopewell Municipal Airport I was greeted by the company’s official, George Myers. All around I greeted familiar faces. Several mechanics, Harvey Perkin- son, Jack Cline, Murl Brogdon and George Rickman, together with pilots Warren Griffin, Roy Glass, and Eugene Askew were among them. I step¬ ped over to the employee’s lounge to say hello to three or four lovely stew¬ ardesses, Ruth Hand, Doris McCraw, Dorabella Riggan and Katherine Belcher. All said they would be at the reunion the next day. I took a taxi into Hopewell. On the door was B. McLaughlin Trans¬ portation Company. I learned from the driver that this was quite a cor¬ poration. Among the stockholders were Wilburn Felty, Jimmie Janosik, Garland Johnson, Victor Moogalian, and Dean Silliman. I reached Hopewell much sooner than I had expected, the city had greatly extended its boundaries. It was now a thriving city of 50,000. I left the cab on Broadway and was astonished at the new, tall buildings that had replaced those of old. I walked to the site of the Municipal building and found a new enlarged City Hall. Within the hall I spied a bulletin board with the following familiar names upon it: Mr. Billy Harding, City Manager; Charles Cushman, City Attorney; Hugh Birchett, City Treasur¬ er ; Dorothy Bowles, City Clerk; Ben Kanak, Commissioner of Revenue; Richard Sthreshley, Chief-of-Police, Charles Saunders, Fire Chief; Dick Copeland, Department of Education Head; John Pruden, City Justice. After greeting a few of them I left and crossed over to the new, mod- page thirty-one . . . KaJeidoscoft ; TCpIlCClJ ernistic Beacon Theatre. The current attraction read: Harold King, Daphne Crump and Sweetie Livingston in “The Triangle ; the stars m person. Strolling on down Broadway many amusing signs caught my eye. The V. Dailey and M. Jennings Beauty Shoppe; Wonder City Fishery, Prop. Mike Nisos; K. Belcher’s Fudgie Wudgie Candy Shoppie; The Style Shop, Miss Clara Alice Page, Prop, and Mannaquin; Sunshine Grocery Company, Prop. George Ivlonis; Dorothy Litz’s Beauty Glo Cosmetics, Ladies Turk¬ ish Bath, owners M. Jackson and V. Cotman; over the bath was Kitty Gutridge’s School of Dancing. At the corner of Hopewell and Broadway was the new bank of the City of Hopewell. The cornerstone offered this information: President, Jesse Strickland; Vice-President, Margaret Rust; Treasurer, Frances Hud¬ son; Architect and Contractor, B. P. Short, Jr. I entered Georges Drug Store for a little refreshment. No one other than Mary Duesberry mixed my drink. Looking around I saw two drug¬ gists, Ralph Brewer and Edward Benton, busily wrapping medicines. I was admiring a display of chinaware when the demonstrator, none othei than Miss June Goldsmith, appeared to try to make a sale. Continuing into the next blo ck I discovered the new city auditorium. The list of the present and coming attractions were: June 11 “The Af¬ fairs of Madam X,” with Marjorie Drake and Norman Davis; June 12— Donald S. Higgins, Internationally famous Concert Pianist; June 13—Har- riette Bain and Dorothy Fayed in “The Ladies”; June 14 Ruth Biichett and Harry Elliott in joint recital; June 15—Exhibit of Paintings by Miss Betty Woody, well-known local artist. Across the street was the new Hopewell Funeral Parlor. The sign read, Miss Lois Dorsey, only female undertaker in Southside Virginia, Mag¬ gie Mae Moore and Annie Mae Milton, assistants. Then down toward City Point I came upon Station W. H. H. S., a radio station for Hopewell. A welcome sign on the door invited inspection by the public. I entered and started down the main corridor toward the main broadcasting room. I read on several doors as I passed: President, Roy Lowder; Vice-President, Ernest Connelly; Advertising Manager, Dora Seitz; Chief Engineer, George Diradour. At the end of the corridor was a table of fine literature concerning the station, program, etc. As I glanced through my eyes glimpsed such names page thirty-two as: Announcers, Lee Alford, Chris Doulis, E. A. Vivas and Miss Gaie Spratley, only woman announcer. Some of the most prominent broadcasters were: The swing trio, Vashti Baker, Rose Andrews, and Helen Miller; Marion Jones, blues singer; Bessie Cooper, organist; Bill Burkett, news commentator. Miss Gladys Shurm will dramatize her latest novel, “Love,” upon completion, over W. H. H. S. On my way back down Broadway I purchased a copy of the Hopewell News. I then stopped at the New Appomattox Hotel, managed by Miss Helen Grimmett, and applied for a room. The clerk behind the desk was none other than Arthur Chambliss. Then in my room I ordered lunch from Jimmy Ameen’s Grill and then proceeded to read the newspaper. On the editorial page I sighted the names, Alvin Hobbs, editor; asso¬ ciate editor, Marian Sanders; advertising agent, Elizabeth Jennings. Prom¬ inent on the page was a letter from citizen Bill Johnson stating how bad his street needed a curbstone. On the society page Miss Virginia Wood and Miss Virginia Westlake were sailing in July for Paris where they had accepted a position with a designer. On the sport page the headline read “Raymond Manieri Wins Light¬ weight Crown.” In column two Jeep Phelps and Lane Phillips, Hopewell alumni, have signed to play another season with the Giants. Warren Saun¬ ders is new U. S. tennis champ. At the bottom were several advertisements. One heralded Poole Po¬ tato Chips. Another offered slashed prices on goods at Harry Jarvis’s Clothing Company. On page one Miss Dorothy Thrift, Miss America of 1941, had signed a personal appearance contract with H. Welch and P. Daniel, theatrical pro¬ ducers. After lunch I strolled toward the other end of town. I stopped in to say hello to Jackie Scott, head nurse. I also saw nurses Catherine Harri¬ son, Margie Adams, Katherine Wood. Before I left I heard over the micro¬ phone system “Dr. Robert Dilfield wanted in Room 207. Dr. C. Epperson wanted in surgical department immediately.” After returning to my hotel, I then left later for the school. In the office, Eleanor Sublett, the office assistant, showed me the newly proposed page thirty-three . . Kaleidoscoft 7 i high school building. Then she showed me the list for next session’s fac¬ ulty. I smiled as I read: Miss Dorothy Carey, Miss Helen Durman, Com¬ mercial; Miss Maxine Hightower, Trigonometry; Miss Ann Mays, English; Miss Elizabeth Wolfe, Librarian; Miss Lenora Haller, Latin; Mr. Butter- worth, Coach; signed by Joel Garfinkel, principal; Elizabeth Marable, as¬ sistant principal. A foot note read: “Miss Paulette Coates, commercial teacher, has been promoted to position of principal of school at Niggerfoot, Virginia.’’ Oh yes! All were present and all had a delightful time. But I saw many handkerchiefs appear as the Historian of our class re-read our class activities, especially as she read the poem that follows: Ten years of time have passed, my friends. But time cannot erase, The joys that were amassed, my friends By us within this place. CHRIS WARTHAN. Class Prophet. page thirty-four ...PREFACE... ••CTJn G). -0Vo-- T he LITERARY SECTION, a comparatively new department, has improved with the passing of each year. This year’s section represents the best in the advancement of our literary talents. Due to the hard work on the part of the staff and the student body, and the splendid co-operation of the Junior and Senior English classes, we feel that this year’s literary section will be the best since its creation four years ago. The students have turned in much excellent material, including poems, essays, and short stories. It is our sincere hope that the good work will con¬ tinue; that it will be an aid to those blessed with lit¬ erary ability; and that Mr. Sutherland, its leader and sponsor, will continue giving his kind help to the bet¬ terment of this section.

A WAVE Chris Warthon A wave is the restless heave of the sea, That comes rolling in toward the shore, And washes the sands of the earth away, And then returns to the deep once more. I TRIED TO WRITE Katherine Wood To write a poem I tried in vain, About the sea or country lane. But my lines they wouldn’t rhyme, To me they seemed like Gertrude Stein. VICTORY Paulette Coates Excitement in our school was running high; The time for our big football battle was nigh. The boys were coming from the “Cockade City”; For them to be defeated by us would be a pity. According to them, we didn’t have a chance; That the tables were turning could be seen at a glance; When Parson’s “Blue Devils” turned on the steam, It was plain to see they were a winning team. The final whistle was blown by the referee And Hopewell was delirious with glee. THOSE SECOND TERM EXAMS Ann Mays Weary, worn and tired she sits Half discouraged while she crams l T ou hear the student murmur “RATS” During those second term exams. Her work looms up before her, (what anguish) A mighty burden on her hands While she vainly strives to vanquish Her dreaded Waterloo exams. A gulf of work and worry Which in vain she tries to span Lie before her, and she grows wary During those second term exams. For you know she’s up against it DURING THOSE SECOND TERM EXAMS!

His day is past, His nets are pulled and on the sand, Never again shall they be cast, For like him their life is spanned. The only place not touched by man In his greed to till the land,— The only place left dark and still Where wild things can roam at will And gambol in a safe retreat Until some day their end they meet,— Is in the swamp; where nature lies Unseen by selfish human eyes. A MERRY LIFE! Caroline Epperson O give me a gang, a merry gang, Of happy, joking girls— Who talk of naught but Lambeth walks And how to do their curls. Or how they like the brand new yell That Cushie’s trying out. Or whe’er a certain teacher has A bad case of the gout. Or how they liked the outcome of Our football team’s last game. Or how M. .1. just had a date With her last year’s old flame. These are things to fill the minds Of youth—not war and strife. Youth is only youth but once. Make it a merry life! page thirty-seven Kaleidoscope LITERARY DEPARTMENT—Continued atie The Way Jack Cline B ETWEEN Armethest and Bafhad there is a road which is never de¬ serted. Here the beggar comes to tell his pitiful story, the peddler to sell his wares, and the thief who does his best to steal anything from anyone. To the former group belonged Lemu, who is not to be blamed, for his father had been known as the “Prince of Beggars,” and his mother as the “Queen of Gypsies.” Lemu hadn’t eaten in three days, and finding the road overflowing with beggars, he went into the city to beg for food. He had no success that day and people chided him for being lazy. With a heavy heart he re¬ turned to his old hunting ground, the Road. He was plodding along in the dust when he came upon a peddler’s wagon laden with fruit of all kinds. One thought flashed into Lemu’s mind: “Fruit—Life!” He stole up behind the wagon while the peddler was busy weighing some fruit and snatched a huge calinope, a delicious fruit with a pithy center which had much nutritious value. He had no sooner turned to run, than the peddler saw him. “Hoi!” he cried, and began chasing Lemu, who ran in the direction of the forest, where he knew it would be easy to lose his pursuer. He was weak with hunger and the peddler, who was strong with righteous anger, soon gained half the space between them. Lemu, in his frantic efforts to evade the peddler, stumbled over the root of a tree which extended into the path. He quickly scrambled into the bushes, leaving the calinope ly¬ ing in the grass at the side of the path. He knew that he did not have time to recover the fruit if he intended to save his life, and so vowed to return later and find it. The peddler ran several hundred yards farther into the forest, and when he saw no sign of Lemu he returned, disgusted, to find that the other beggars had stripped his fruit wagon clean of all his wares. Meanwhile, darkness had fallen and Lemu perceived his chance to find the precious fruit. He searched the path where he thought he had dropped it, growing weaker by the minute. He knew death was upon him, but he kept searching for the fruit. He realized that a few mouthfuls of the calinope would drive away that terrible, sweeping dizziness that overcame Kaleidoscope . page thirty-eight LITERARY DEPARTMENT—Continued him at nearly every step. Finally, he could go no further. He lay clown beside a tree and breathed a prayer. The next morning, the police who regularly inspected the forest paths to see that no murders had been committed, or if there had been murder, to carry away the bodies, discovered Lemu. He was leaning against the tree, and one hand was outstretched toward a withered calinope, which lay not a foot away from the dead man’s hand. The New Dawning Elizabeth Wolfe O LD “MISS MARY” sat in her living room looking out of her window watching the neighbors pass while she knitted on the lavender bed- jacket for Julie Mason, the little crippled girl down the street. “Why there go the Jones boys. How happy they look, and there is Mr. Harper stepping along the street as if he were a youngster. He’s eighty years old if he’s a day and still just as spry and chipper as ever.” “Miss Mary” was loved particularly by the children because she al¬ ways had a brand new story for them and because they all knew that her cookie jar—which was always full—stood on the third shelf in the corner of her pantry. “Miss Mary,” as everyone called her, was a lovely little old lady and as pretty as a picture. She wore her hair, which was snow white, piled high on her head in the style that was fashionable when she was young. Her dresses were always of some dark material, drawn up at the neck and pinned with a cameo. Her face was so full of kindness, thought for others, and sweetness that many an artist had expressed a desire to paint her. “Well! Well! Here comes Johnny Peters up the walk. I’ll have to lay my knitting aside for awhile I guess. Come on in, Johnny. I’m in the liv¬ ing room. My! my! I do believe you grew an inch last night. You’re get¬ ting to be a big man now, aren’t you? Now you run along out to the pan¬ try and get a handful of cookies and then hurry back because I’ve a brand new story for you today.” What a lovely child he is. He’ll make his mother and father proud of him some day. “Well come here now and sit on this footstool and I’ll begin my story. “Once upon a time long, long ago before the War Between the States, a young man and young girl were deeply in love and were getting ready to be married. The day before the wedding word came that war had been declared and so the young man insisted that the wedding be put off until after the war was over. In a week or two he had gone off to join the forces page thirty-nine . . Kaleidoscope LITERARY DEPARTMENT—Continued of the South in the great Civil War. The young girl was all alone at home worrying about the young man. Suppose we call them Mary and Joe. Well! Mary and Joe wrote to each other frequently and planned to be mar¬ ried as soon as the war was over. One day as Mary sat by her window knitting a warm scarf for Joe a man came up the walk and requested the servant to ask Mary to come to the door a minute. Mary went immediately and the man told her he had sad news for her: that he had been with Joe when he was shot and before he died he had asked him to come and tell Mary. “I am sorry Miss, but he died a hero in the services of his South. You should be proud of him, Miss. I’ll have to go now. I’m sorry I had to bring you such news. Good day.” Well, Johnny, that news left Mary so stunned that for weeks she didn’t know what was going on around her and when she did come out of it she was so heartbroken that she nevei manied even thougiTshe had several proposals. She ' lived to a ripe old age and spent the latter part of her life knitting, thinking up new stories and keep¬ ing a full cookie jar. “Oh! you guessed did you? Yes, you’re right. I’m the Mary of that story. Don’t I hear your mother calling you Johnny? You’d better run along and tell her where you’ve been. Be sure and come to see me tomor¬ row. Maybe I’ll have a new story for you.” She gave a long sigh as the door closed gently behind him and picked up her knitting again. “Click, click,” “Miss Mary’s” needles were now mov¬ ing so swiftly that it was difficult to see them. “I just must finish today,” she thought, “so I can send it around to Julie tomorrow. It must be terrible to have to stay in bed all the time, es¬ pecially such a young person and—oh! that awful pain in her left side again. It was worse than ever before and things were getting dark. It wasn’t night yet but everything seemed so dim and far away and—why! why ! What was that figure that seemed to float in the door? No! No! It cou’dn’t be! But it was! It was! “Oh Joseph ! Joseph ! I knew you would come back one day. I knew you would. They told me you had been killed in the war, but I knew you’d come back to me one day. Sit down, dear. Sit down and let me look at you. You haven’t gotten a bit older, not a bit. I m older, dear, in face and figure but not in heart. Things are the same with me now and always will be as they were when you went away. My dear, how good it is to see you. Why Joseph! What are you getting up for ? You’re not leaving? Oh! No! Please don’t go. Why, you’ve been here only a minute. Joseph! Joseph, look through the door there. Look how bright everything is. So shiny and clear like a new dawn. No! Joseph, don’t go. Don’t go without me. Wait for me. I want to go, too. Wait for me, Joseph. I’m coming, dear. I’m . . . coming. I’m . . . coming.” With these words “Miss Mary” stepped over the threshhold into the dawning of a new world that awaits us all sooner or later. Kaleidoscope . . page forty LITERARY DEPARTMENT—Continued 1 The Bank O NE DAY I stood outside and watched, just for curiosity, this build¬ ing. In and out of its doors went people from all walks of life—rich men, poor men, business men, clerks. It was a democratic building in appearance. The building was the bank. Iron bars enclosed its windows making it seem very formidable. Of all buildings, perhaps the one that comes in closer contact with every class of people is the bank. Perhaps Christmas is the most interesting time to observe the bank. If you stood outside or even inside you would see first the poor man as he comes to do his business. He goes in, completes his errand, but coming out he slowly shakes his head—wondering if there will be enough money for the children at Christmas. He doesn’t want anything for himself, and his wife will understand, but the children—what if there is nothing Christ¬ mas morning? Slowly he disappears in the gathering crowd. Then, or course, known to everyone is the very rich man—blustering, superfluous, and an all-around bluff. He pops in quite sure his bank account is so and so, and why didn’t the bank tell him his scalawag of a son had overdrawn his allowance? He fumes and fusses and generally raises a rumpus and everyone utters a sigh of relief when his retreating form is seen. But even more hated than the very rich man is the so called “Mr. Pinch- penny.” He is the tight old man who lectures to the bank, in a whiny nasal tone, about how to run the bank. Never satisfied with anything, his only visits to the bank are to complain. The best known type of person and the most welcome in the bank is the average business man. He is placid, has no time to waste in anger, and is always busy. The Christmas savings was perhaps made for this man. These are just a few of the kinds of people who go in and out of the bank and all for the same purpose—money. But after all—“It takes all kinds.” ELIZABETH TENNENT. past forty-one LITERARY DEPARTMENT—Continued The King of Yesterday H OW would you feel if you were in my place; discarded, never having any company, never going anywhere, just lying around waiting. Everybody shuns me, and when a choice is to be made for a party or a danc e, I’m left at home and someone else is picked. However, I can’t complain. My life was once that of a king. I went to all the parties, all the dances, and the celebrations of royalty were my specialty. Never a night went by that I didn’t go somewhere. There was never a dull day in my life, as I had something to do all the time. The first night in the week would be a king’s ball, the next a banquet, the next a dance, and so on through the best days and nights of my life. Later as I began to wear and age a little, the parties and dances began to thin out. Some nights I was left at home. Occasionally I would get to a dance or two, but these were of little importance, and there were com¬ paratively few people present. The days, weeks, months, and even years grew on and the dances finally thinned out entirely. Now I just lie around all day and night and do nothing. However, as I dare look back over the years, I cannot com¬ plain, because after all I am just a pair of old shoes. —MILDRED MAYS.

It is an honor to be a member of this choir as invitations are issued only to those students whose outstanding abilities are recognized by Miss Le Grand. Harry Elliott was one of the two baritones in the state to win the high¬ est rating, “Superior,” in the Festival. Delma George, soprano, not a choir member, won the rating of “Average.” Kaleidoscope . . page sixty-six Glee Club-Orchestra At the beginning of the 1938-1939 semester these boys and girls or¬ ganized a Glee Club, under the capable direction of Miss Msria Elizabeth Legrand and Mr. John C.

There were nine lettermen returning along with several reserves to form the nucleus of the 1938 team. The reserves were Talbot, Oliver, Fayed, Polick, Copeland, and Short. With three weeks of intensive practice the Blue Devils easily defeated Chester 62 to 0. The following week the team completely outplayed Wood- row Wilson, who outweighed us 12 pounds to the man, 13 to 0. Hopewell High School received one of the heaviest blows of the season by the loss of Eddie Phelps who is considered the finest lineman in Hope- well High School history. The following week-end Hopewell again outclassed a much heavier team in Thomas Jefferson by the score of 12 to 2. The next week the Blue Devils’ running attack bogged down and they beat Fredericksburg 7 to 0. Next came the most heart-breaking game of the season. After lead¬ ing 7 to 6 at the half, Hopewell lost to Hampton 13 to 7. The next game Hopewell completely outplayed John Marshall except for a slight time in the first and third quarters, but nevertheless Hopewell lost 12 to 6. With the reserves playing most of the game the Blue Devils easily beat Suffolk. Hopewell lost a close decision at Alexandria the following week by the score of 7 to 6. The next game, with Petersburg, will never be forgotten. Before 7,000 amazed people the Blue Devils scored twice in the first half and held the much favored Crimson Wave team scoreless. The second half was al¬ most the same, with the Crimson Wave scoring on a sustained drive in the third quarter. When the final whistle blew the Blue Devils were on the long end of the score for the second time in the history of Hopewell High School. E. Phelps, J. Phelps and R. Manieri received honorable mention for the All-State Team. Bill Johnson was placed on the Second All-State Team. This is considered the finest defensive team in the history of Hope- well High School.

With intensive practice the Blue Devils easily defeated Midway in the first game. The team played good basketball all season. They continued the winning streak on their home court which has not been broken since 1937. Hopewell lost five games away from home but they defeated all of these teams at home with the exception of William and Mary Fresh¬ men whom they did not play but once. Harold King, who won the center position on the mythical All-Central Team, led the scoring with 214 points. Ray Keenan was runner-up with 138.

The fact that only two letter girls returned from last year did not handicap the team. At the call of the coach, Miss Polly Daniel, 65 girls reported for practice, and later the squad was cut to 18 girls. Most of the girls were inexperienced but played with unex¬ celled sportsmanship and showed excellent training. Those on the varsity squad were Virginia Hawley, Ruth Lee, Margaret Jackson, Vir¬ ginia Potman, Virginia Dale, Dora Seitz, Louise Pruden, Mary Betty Gunn, Margaret Sorde- lett, June Copeland, June Fuller, Rachel Powers, and Ruby Mason. The substitutes were Delma George, Mildred Mease, Peggy Cowherd, Lois Burkett, and Dorothy Smith. The man¬ ager was Ruth Birchett and the assistant manager Mary Jean Gilman. The new assistant manager will be Legare Thompson. Margaret Jackson, Louise Pruden, Dora Seitz, Virginia Dale, Mary Betty Gunn, and Virginia Cotrnan received letters and Ruth Lee and Virginia Hawley received stars. Since most of the players will return next year, a good team is predicted. page seventy-three .

The infielders and outfielders reported March 15 with the following lettermen in camp: E. Phelps, R. Mathis, F. McLean, R. Clark, and Billy Johnson. Ray Keenan, State’s leading pitcher in 1938, easily shut out Midway 12 to 0 in the opening game. The Blue Devils’ hitting seems to be im¬ proved over last year’s team. The team will lose L. Phillips, Knox and Francis Morris, Eddie Phelps, R. Math ' s, L. Butterworth, and Billy Johnson.

Charles Due to the fact that three varsity men were ineligible, five graduated, and the prospects very poor, the track team was not as good as in the prev¬ ious years. Only three men from last year were eligible, but a better team is expected next year. page seventy-six Kaleidoscope . .

We were fortunate enough to enter the State meet at Charlottesville. At this meet Harold King, the squad’s No. 1 man, reached the finals in singles and was beaten by Mallory of Maury High. In the doubles Burt Short 2 nd Harold K ' ng reached the semi-finals and were beaten by Mallory and Spindelle, Maury’s double team. During the past season Hopewell was engaged in meets with Peters¬ burg, Suffolk, Portsmouth, and Thomas Jefferson. This year Coach Smith’s plans state that we will play John Marshall, Thomas Jefferson, Petersburg, and Portsmouth. A summary of the 1939 season will appear in the 1940 annual. page seventy-seven . . Kaleidoscope Archery Club This year for the first time in the history of the High School, an Arch¬ ery Club for girls is being organized. This is sponsored by Miss Polly Daniel, Director of Girls’ Athletics. Fifteen girls signed up to meet once a week for target practice. After they have mastered the skill of shooting accurately, an accuracy test will be given, which each will have to pass to become a member of the club. This sport promises to become a most popular one with the girls here in high school. Many of the nearby schools are organizing clubs, so it won’t be long before our club will participate in inter-scholastic Archery matches. Those girls who will become charter members of the club and who are now working hard with their bows and arrows are: Virginia Westlake June Goldsmith Dorothy Litz Jean Woody Betty Wood Legare Thompson Sarah Trigg June Copeland Kitty Ford Doris Jordon Lenora Haller Phyllis Clark Cordelia Robbins Jean Ide Pat Hanson page seventy-eight HiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiitiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiMiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiimiiimiiiiim.
