I congratulate you most sincerely on the successful completion of your high school course. You have established a record that reflects credit on every one of you. I speak for the entire staff and for your friends of other classes when I say we are proud that you will always be a part of James Monroe High School, and our highest hopes go with you as you become a part of other activities of life. Mr. Brown joins me in an expression of our very best wishes for your continued success. W. W. GORDON, Principal DEDICATION We, the students of James Monroe dedicate the 195 2 MONROE ECHO to Mrs. Mildred L. Chick, Senior Class sponsor, teacher of histories and Latin, but most of all, friend to everyone. Mrs. Chick has been here since 1947, and during that time, she has willingly befriended any and all students who came to her for advice, scholastic or otherwise. Mrs. Chick has worked hard and faithfully for the betterment of our school activities. She has, at various times, directed the Senior Play, acted as sponsor of the Student Council Association, sponsored both the Thespian and Dramatic clubs, and coached school forensic entries in debating, public speaking, reading, and spelling. Every graduate of James Monroe will surely remember Mrs. Chick all the days of his life. How could anyone forget so kind and understanding a person ? 7 hree MONROE ECHO STAFF Editor __ Bobby Goolrick Business Manager _ Charles Dowling Assistant Editor Ruth English Assistant Bus. Mgr.

HOLT, Physical Education Eight SENIOR HISTORY One morning in May, 1948 history began to take place. About fifty eager students left the local train of elementary guidance as eighth graders and in September of that year boarded the James Monroe Special for four years of travel through high school. At the end of the first year we found ourselves at the freshman station. As we recall our trip, we remember our chief conductor was Bobby Goolrick, who was ably assisted by Charlie Dowling. The records of our trip were kept by Norma Mitchell, and the payments were made to Emily Morrison. On our first stop we enumerated our accomplishments. Our coach was the winner of the magazine drive conducted by the Student Cooperative Associa¬ tion, which was initiated this year, and Emily Morrison aided in winning a Latin plaque. These accomplishments thrilled us! Our next stop was the sophomore station. Our chief conductor this year was Perry Holcomb; assistant conductor, Audrey Fines; record conductor, Ruth English; and finance conductor, Pauline Colthurst. We stopped at Rich¬ mond to hear the Virginia State Legislature where Bobby Goolrick, one of our passengers, proved to be a reliable page. We were greatly honored at this stop by Senator Pitts who treated us royally. Our stop at the junior station provided many memories. Emily Morrison brought our train through as chief conductor; Taylor Turner, record con¬ ductor; and Bill Schrier, finance conductor. We made many stops this trip. First on the schedule was the winning of the Daughters of the American Revolution essay contest by Ruth English; next was the Homecoming Queen contest which one of our passengers, Catherine Shelton, won; Sue Straughan received the most valuable player award for her ability in basket¬ ball. Three new pasengers joined us on this route. Rinda Lu Grubbs boarded the train at Norfolk, Dorothy Smith at Quantico, and Gary Ellis at Arlington. All was not happiness, however. We suffered a great tragedy while on route— seventeen of us were forced to board another coach at the rear of the train, due to overcrowded conditions, for the remainder of the year. We had completed the last lap of our journey and our passengers now numbered only forty-three. We lost many and gained a few during our four- year journey. As our memories drift back over this year we see in the chief conductor’s car Charlie Dowling; as assistant conductor, John Britton; as record conductor, Joyce Quann; and as finance conductor, Bill Schrier. First stop on the schedule was the senior play, “Meet Corliss Archer;’’ next Pat Smith took second honors in the magazine drive. John Hall and Audrey Fines received the most valuable players awards for basketball from the Lions’ Club. Also John Hall was the choice for Homecoming King. Our first stop for sight-seeing was Washington, D. C. where some of our passengers visited a television program. Our second Washington sight-seeing trip was made in April. We erected two new stops along the way—the Alma Mater for the seniors’ processional into assembly and the observance of a full Sneak Day. Immediately following this we noticed in the distance our destination. There were only left a few more stops—the Junior and Senior Proms, the senior farewell assembly, and commencement. The James Monroe Special would come to a full stop. We realized our journey had been happy and we were eagerly looking forward to stepping from the train out into the future.

SON DDES Class Advisor Class Advisor Annual Advisor Nineteen PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF ’52 Just the other day, enroute home from work in my Elsmobile, that new automobile created and manufactured by the Gary Ellis Motor Co. of Detroit, 1 chanced to switch on my TV set to channel 113, and picked up that super- scooper lady newscaster, Miss Jeanette Carter. Miss Carter’s news was of such immensity that 1 want you all to hear it. She said: “Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America—and all of Texas, too. All the great news today, June 21, 1968, comes directly from America’s oldest and busiest city, Fredericksburg, Virginia, and that’s only natural since that ' s where all the great people live. “Mr. Donald Snellings, owner, trainer, and rider of the great horse, ‘Bubblebath,’ has again won the Interplanetary Derby. Congratulations, Mr. Snellings. “Miss Emily Grace Morrison, chief pharmicist of the People’s Drug Stores, has just discovered the cure for the common cold—stay in bed all year! But Dr. George Calamos disagrees with Miss Morrison, stating that the cold bug is so widespread that humans will contract it no matter where they are! “The United States Olympic teams have just returned from Jupiter, the site of the 1968 Olympiad, victorious again! The hero of this year ' s games was America’s John Hall who won both the pentathon and declathon. Mr. Hall ' s biggest feat was his twenty-two foot pole vault! “Big news! The Chas. Dowling-Pcrry Holcomb Construction Co. has just completed the first New York to Paris bridge! The messeurs Dowling and Holcomb are now working on plans for a round-the-world highway! “Renowned actress, Mary Stott, fresh from a rousing triumph in ‘The Dessert Fox,’ has been cast in the lead of MGM’s newest picture, ' Across the Wide Rappahannock. ’ “Comedian Buddy Sweeney has just been signed by NBC for the first continuous I V show ever to be produced. Sweeney is to be sponsored by the Surles Men’s Fashions Shops. “Miss Peggy Pitts, top X-ray technician for the Mayo Clinic, made big news today by announcing her revolutionary new invention—an x-ray machine that registers exactly what, if anything, is wrong with any patient x-rayed. Miss Pitts gives much credit to her two hard-working secretaries, Joyce Quann and Catherine Shelton. “Admiral John Britton, who once swore he wasn’t going to make the navy his career, yesterday dispersed the old rumor that a sailor has a ‘girl in every port’ saying, ‘I haven’t got a gal in South Afghanistan. ' The reason: population—all male! “The fast growing planet, Saturn, got another boost today when the Armstrong, Limerick, and Searles Department Store chain announced its in¬ tention to build twenty large stores there. The owners of this chain, the Misses Beulah Armstrong, Peggy Limerick, and Isabell Searles, were once salesgirls in the Fredericksburg 5c and 10c store. “When Miss Ruth Yanow, wealthy hotel owner, heard of this plan, she promptly vowed that she would build ten hotels on Saturn. Not to be outdone, this Yanow! “Right here on Earth, Mr. Gerald Talley has just completed the last of his great ice cream factory-stores. Mr. Talley now boasts an ice cream plant in every country on Earth, although he confesses his concession isn’t faring too well in Iceland! “And now it’s time for a word from our sponsor, the Jones’ Steel Wool Co. Friends, is your steel wool too soft? If so, you need Jones’ steel wool, direct from the mills of Charles Jones, located in the Fredericksburg Barber Shop. Jones’ steel wool is the best because it’s nature’s own. Don’t take less, get the best. Buy Jones’. And now, here again is your favorite and mine, Miss Jeanette Carter!’ Hello again, and back to the news of the day. Miss Patricia Snellings has just been appointed professor of English and histories at Mary Washington College. Miss Snellings, you know, has written several books on these subjects. At the same time, Miss Patricia Smith was appointed director of T iventy dramatics and sciences, also at MWC, although Miss Smith is chiefly noted as a historian. A happy scene took place today in the city room of the New York News. The misses Ruth English and Debra Hollibaugh met again for the first time since high school when they were co-editors of their school paper. Miss Holli- baugh and Miss English will work together again as co-editors of the Women’s Section of the News. Player-Coach Audrey Fines has just led her All-American girls’ basket¬ ball team to another worldwide championship. Miss Fines teaches physical education at Vassar during the off season. Miss Norma Mitchell, Metropolitan opera star, has just announced that she will quit opera soon and go into popular singing. Miss Sue Straughan, Republican senator from Virginia, has just been chosen by the Republican National Committee as its Presidential candidate for the coming election. Mr. Wirt Shelton, head professor at Yale University, has just disputed the popular new molecular theory of Professor W. W. Gordon of Harvard. Mr. Gordon, incidentally, was once Mr. Shelton’s high school principal. Mr. Taylor Turner, noted commercial and comic strip artist, has just begun a brand new comic strip called, Undercover Agent Interplanetary Anonymous. ' Mr. Turner reluctantly admits the theory of such a comic wasn’t original with him. Miss Rinda Lu Grubbs, renowned author and publisher, has just re¬ leased another of her ' Grubbs ' Grabs.’ This time it’s a ' Dictionary for Ignor¬ ant Acrobats.’ Mrs. Sidney Monroe, nee Joyce Fines, made big news this morning in Mary Washington Hospital—triplets! Lt. Col. Gerald Hart of the U. S. Air Force, yesterday startled the world by becoming the first person to fly faster than the speed of light! Colonel Hart, when asked how he felt traveling at such a velocity, said, ‘I ' ouldn’t see a thing.’ Miss Shirley Green yesterday opened the most unusual school ever devised; namely, ‘The How to Make Your Boyfriend Mad School!’ Mr. William Schrier, owner of the nationwide ' Dollars and Cents’ clothing-department stores, announced early this morning that plans had been completed for both floating and flying department stores! Miss Anne Shelton, noted biologist, caught a rare and as yet unnamed twoe of fly today, and immediately had it insured with the Vivian Beazley ‘We ll Insure Anything’ Insurance Company! The girls were once schoolmates. Miss Nancy Brown, legally Mrs. John Blain, popular radio and tele¬ vision entertainer, celebrated her fifteenth wedding anniversary quietly today at her palatial penthouse in Manhattan. Miss Dorothy Smith, renowned debater and panelist, will appear tomor¬ row on television to argue the affirmative for tbe very pertinent question, ' Should Shady Sharks Be Shot?’ The Limbrick Reducing Salon, founded by the one-time ' fat girl,’ Miss Barbara Limbrick, announced yesterday that it plans to make every woman in the world as sleek as Miss Limbrick herself! Miss Anne Stephens and Miss Gloria Toepfer, both personal steno¬ graphers of the Secretary of State, made headlines yesterday by popping into their office draped in mink coats. The two girls were protestingly dragged to jail, where they were subsequently released after explaining that they did it as a joke, and showed a sales slip to prove the legality of their purchase! Miss Grace Robbins, head nurse at Mary Washington Hospital, startled the medical profession yesterday by announcing that from now on all Mary Washington nurses will wear light-green colored uniforms instead of the conventional white. It makes the patients feel more at ease,’ explained Miss Robbins. Mr. Robert Goolrick was sued again today in Municipal Court in con¬ nection with the prophecy he wrote for the James Monroe High School graduating class of 1952. This makes the forty-second time! Only one more to go! “This is your Tuesday night newscaster, Jeanette Carter, signing off and saying, I’ll see you again next week, same time, same station!

Thirty-Five DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN? Jerome Sale pushed the wrong button to turn on the lights in the hall? Part of the school had an unexpected fire-drill that day! Miss Lapsley turned her back for a minute while the class was working on an experiment. Chief research scientists Dulcy Houston and Barbara Meredith had a slight explosion in her absence. Marion Holman and Shirley Oliver skipped school one afternoon and were spied by Mr. Gordon as they took a leisurely spin down Barton Street? Donald Estes scared all of the girls by setting off a firecracker in a classroom ? Shirley Oliver and Nancy Wilkerson had their unusual auto accident? The result was, minus two front teeth. Billy Abrams poured milk into Mr. Schmid ' s aquariam, those poor fish! Floyd Carver had his homework ready for geometry class. We thought for sure that the world was coming to an end. Charles Leonard had the highest batting average for the entire baseball team, that was our freshman year. Bow Kesel had an attack of appendicitus at the Randolph-Macon- J. M. H. S. football game. Nearly everyone in the stadium was trying to be of help—the result was utter confusion. Dulcy Houston, Charlotte Walker, Barbara Meredith, Jack Wilhour played for the Sadie Hawkin s Day Dance. Surely was good to put on old clothes and do some good jitterbugging!

THAT HIGH SCHOOL FEELING Most of us felt very proud and very scared as we walked into the high school building September 5, 1951. At last we were eighth graders and part of the high school. We felt so grown up, and when we thought about it, it seemed only a ma tter of months before we would be seniors 1 We had almost no contact with the others in the high school at the beginning of the year, but later we began to know them better through drives, such as the Red Cross Drive. A few of us had personal friendships, but not many. The class we felt most friendly toward was the freshman class. At least we didn ' t have to shield our eyes whenever they came near. The upperclassmen were indiffirent to us and our doings, except for the monitors, they watched us! The monitors were part of the difference be¬ tween high school and elementary ... so was the work we found out. Probably the main difference was the age group in which we found ourselves. Our ages ranged from thirteen to eighteen, average ages for eighth graders and seniors. As we look back on our first year in high school, we can see that we were probably young little imps and we probably still are. But we hope that we will make good freshmen, and the next eighth grade will think well of us.

With the exception of linotyping done by the Free Lance-Star, the printing of the entire paper including all the mechanical processes and editorials is done by the students. The paper was founded as an honest effort to present all aspects of journalistic work; to learn the editorial and mechanical make up of a news¬ paper, as well as to inform everyone of the happenings in the shops of the Fredericksburg City Schools.

A. has been very active in both club and community work during the past year. We have helped to install two new chapters of the club, one at Spotsylvania High School and one in George Washington High School in Alexandria, Virginia. We registered dogs at the Fredericksburg Dog Mart. The members of the club assist the teachers of the school by typing and duplicating work they need, etc. Many interesting meetings have been held during the year. Demonstrations of a Sound Scriber, a comptometer, and an illuminated drawing board have been given. A movie on Money Talks’’ was shown, and a talk on good grooming was presented by an expert in that field. The chief money-raising project was the selling of tickets to the Broadway musical, ‘‘Brigadoon,’’ which was presented on March 21 at the James Monroe auditorium. Several club members along with our sponsor, Mrs. Orrock, attended the state convention in April. They returned with many new ideas for next year’s work.

Behind us, we shall leave the halls paved and worn through many passing years; And, as those before us and those to come, we exchange the certainty of each day for an uncertain future. Whether the strife of battle claim us each—we wonder or shall we have greatness to our names and attain the pinacle of our aspirations? I he tyranny of fate holds this yet unknown to us. Is we walk these well-worn halls this last time together, we hope with the might of all our hearts—that the very bricks of this, our school may be proud when we have met what the course of time shall bring. —RINDA LU GRUBBS Ninety CLASS OF 1952 Ninety-One AUTOGRAPHS .
