To lead us through the affairs of our freshman year, we elected Phyliss Rose, president; John Shelhorse, vice-president; Catherine Abernathy, secretary; and Jerry Swart, treasurer. Realizing the need for money in the future, these off i cers organized various money-making projects. Three members of the class participated in the Virginia Latin Tournament. By the time we were sophomores, we had realized that high school meant work as well as play. Eight annexation students from Spotsylvania were add to our num¬ bers. The officers we chose were John Shelhorse, president; Tommy Garnett, vice- president; Carolyn Smith, secretary; and Tommy Thomas, treasurer. Sue Nunnally, Jane Fenlon, and Frankie Cromer again helped to represent the school in the state Latin tournament. The whole class spentmuch time studying the novel, Silas Marner, and Shakespeare ' s Julius Caesar. We had now reached the half-way mark. Although everyone was aware that our high school career would soon be ended, we all looked forward to the fast and furious years as upperclassmen. To organize the plans for our junior class activities, we elected John Shelhorse, president; Roy Smith, vice-president; Carolyn Smith, secretary; and Jerry Swart, treasurer. In November, Jane Fenlon and John Shelhorse were elected as Princess and Prince of the Homecoming Court. Many others honors were received by members of the class. Car! Gwaltney was our SCA vice-president; and Jane Fenlon, serving as the secretary, was elected secretary of the district SCA and was nominated for the state SCA presidency of the following year. Caro! Stein¬ berg won first place in the state F.B.L.A. public speaking contest, and placed sec¬ ond in the National Region. Frank Woolley received honorable mention for his entry in the Virginia Junior Academy of Science Contest. Incentive awards for girls ' bas¬ ketball, boys ' basketball, and track were given to Norma Sullivan, John Shelhorse, and Tommy Garnett respectively. The introduction of semester examinations to the school system caused extra studying during the year. An interesting experience for everyone was the history class trip to Jamestown. The entire class greetedthe arrival of our class rings with extreme delight. To attend Girls ' and Boys ' State in the spring. Sue Nunnally, Catherine Abernathy, Caroline Perry, Jane Fenlon, Carole Steinberg, Roy Smith, and Carl Gwaltney were elected. The year was climaxed by our taking the place of the seniors on Move-Up Day and the prom which we gave the graduating class. When the summer vacation had ended, we began what proved to be a fabulous senior year. Miss Glenda Rae Allen and Mrs. Charters Embry were selected as our 30 sponsors, and these reliable officers were elected: president, Roy Smith; vice-pres¬ ident, Paula English; secretary, Connie Adams; and treasurer, Frank Woolley. A star feature of the year was the presence of Sibylle Erbe, our exchange student from Germany. King and Queen at the Homecoming Dance were John Shelhorse and Jane Fenlon. Our senior play, a teenage comedy called Star Light, Star Bright, was made a splendid success by the fine actors in our class. In the area of classwork, we had plenty to do with the research papers and Macbeth. Catherine Abernathy Hall was elected secretary of the SCA; Jane Fenlon was president and served as vice- chairman of the district SCA. Jane also received the D.A.R. award for citizenship. Si by 11 e Erbe was selected Miss James Monroe of 1958. Tommy Jenkins, Carol ine Perry, and John Shel horse received the most valuable player awards for football, girl ' s basketball, and boys ' basketball respectively. Betty Lou Haynes and Bernard Crisp each won a first in district D. O. contests; while George Heflin took a first place in one of the state D.E. contests. Carole Steinberg was the regional winner of the F.B.L.A. parliamentary law contest, and Paige Wright won the regional F.B.L.A. public speaking contest. In forensics, James Morgan was on the debating team which won the district championship. Participating in the National Merit Scholarship contest, Jane Fenlon reached the semifinals and Frank Woolley received a certificate of merit for outstanding performance. Frank was also a finalists in the State Science Talent Search. Twenty-seven of the eighty-one members in our class were honor graduates. Valedictorian and Salutatorian were Jane Fenlon and Sue Nunnally respectively. The class did a lot of work making money for the senior trip. An event which everyone enjoyed working on was the Senior Follies. We also held a spaghetti din¬ ner and a carnival. The events most likely to stand out in our memories are the exuberant trip to New York and the graduation exercises, which include Move-Up Day, Baccalau¬ reate, Class Night, and Last and most important of all. Graduation on June 10. We hope all of these things have left a lasting impression by which the Senior Class of 1958 will always be remembered. George Stanley Brown Edward Daniel Lawler 31 TRANSITION . . . and now to your left you can see the happiest group in Heaven behind that high wall. Saint Peter recommended that we put the class behind the wall since they thought they would be the only ones in Heaven. They ' re the Class of ' 58, the ones who really rate. All they do is sit around and reminisce. For instance, on the cloud to your far left, you see KEITH HUDSON with his trumpet. He practices everyday just in case something happens to Gabriel. He had his own band you know. Polishing the stars so industriously is JAMES MORGAN. We heard he learned to do that in the Army. Oh, look over there quickly! VIVIAN BROYLES is doing some fancy aerial figures. By the way, she is an expert, got her wings in the Air Force. Notice the way HAROLD WILLIAMSON is watching her. He is wondering if that is how he looked in the first human sputnik. Now if you will all please line up, KENNETH HAYNES will give you each a piece of gin¬ gerbread. They say he practically had a monopoly in the baking industry. Some people adjust quite quickly to celestial life. Take RICKY HALLBERG for instance; he is bringing his cloud in on runway three. He was a commercial airplane pilot for JOHNSON, JOHNSON, and JOHNSON. CARL designed their airports, LINDA landscaped and decorated them, and PEGGY had the complex job of managing them all. You may go inside the area if you like, but beware of DON JACKSON. He was an auto¬ mobile salesman, and he will try to sell you everything including the Pearly Gates. On your right you will find SUE NUNNALLY, ANNIE PAVEY, CHARLOTTE HICKS, JEAN ESTEP DRISKELL, CATHERINE ABERNATHY HALL, and MARY FRANCIS PRITCHETT. All they do is sit there on those lounges. Their records show they were good wives and mothers (I guess that means they did not have much to do!) If the political minded visitors will look over by the fountain, they will see three historical characters. Will anyone ever forget the famed U. S. vs. Sanders Case? FRANK CROMER, head of the FBI, arrested EMMETT SANDERS, Teamsters ' Union Boss, for buying votes for MIKE RUCKER, supporter of States Rights and the brains behind the Rucker Machine in Virginia. If you will now look to your left, you will see that an addition is being added to this para¬ dise under the capable supervision and planning of JOHN SHELHORSE and ED LAWLER, famed en¬ gineers. CONNIE ADAMS had a section fabulously decorated with her new shades of cloud pind, sky blue, and star bright. TOMMY SKINNER, who did wonders in the field of electrical engineer¬ ing on earth, has accomplished another great feat byrewiring the stars for better lighting, facilities. Do you hear that commotion? It ' s coming from those unfinished columns in the center. If you ' ll look closely, you will see the famed comedian, BOBBY NOLAN, dictating his newest laughs to JEANNE FARMER, his private secretary. Later these jokes will be distributed to the rest of Heaven to be enjoyed, but right now JANE FENLON, the richest socialite that the world has ever known, PAIGE WRIGHT, a successful TV star, and BELA ERBE, who for twenty-seven years was re¬ corder of the number and ages of boys at UVA, are being entertained by Mr. Nolan. Over in that corner is OTIS FRAZIER. He is still leading the quiet life of an observer of human nature. On cloud number one, you see one of our more colorful members, JIMMY RAINS, author of the best seller, The Tale of the Reckless Nights . The fellows in the distance with the wistful expressions are JOHN COWAN and FRANK WOOLLEY. They are still worrying about the 100 million they could have made on their machine to produce singers only to be surpassed by the American Nightingale MELBA CARTER. You ' ll re¬ member the great publicity done on her by ROSE GRECO, a world reknown photographer. 32 As some of you may suffer from acrophobia because of the height, we have called on ANNE MADDOX, CYNTHIA SNELLINGS, and CAROLYN SMITH to give you a new medicine developed by TOMMY JENKINS, BETTY BLAND, and CAROLE NUGENT. All these people were recognized on earth as medical intelligentsia. If you would now step into this special elevator designed by ROY SMITH, mechanical en¬ gineer, it will take you to Heflin ' s Hideaway. SCOTT surveyed and landscaped this little piece of Heaven to resemble the grounds of the resort he planned for JIMMY JONES, wealthy President of the National Bank of Fredericksburg. Testingtheirskill in taking dictation are JANE ROSENBERGER who was secretary to CAROLE STEINBERG, child psycologist; JUDY LITTEK, private secretary to rocket scientist STANLEY BROWN; and JOYCE PERRY, secretary to MARYLOU YOUNG, noted biologist and artist. Now if you really want to see a neat operator, look over there at BETTY LOU HAYNES. She had her own telephone company on earth. TOMMY GARNETT, an explosive personality, in Heaven and on earth, a conscientious chemist and notorious practical joker, is talking to TEDDY ROBEY, a friend to man and beast. He was a veternarian. One of the outstanding personalities here in Heaven is JOE GWALTNEY, a basketball player. As you know he grew another foot when he became pro. Listening to everybody ' s conversations and telling them to stop chewing gum and to sit up straight are MADELINE WOOTTEN, EVELYN SAMUELS, and KAY WHITTICAR. Needless to say they were school teachers. Here comes Saint Peter looking for his favorite secretary, SANDRA TOOMBS and printers of heavenly news EVERETT AYERS and GEORGE HEFLIN. On earth this trio ran their own press. Over in the corner is BERNARD CRISP repairing halos. He ran a hardware down on earth. Busily talking over tactics of ping pong are JUD HERIOT and BRENDA PAYNE. They were co-owners of a recreational center on earth. Heavenly music comes floating from the celestial choir under the direction of SYLVIA ANN BOWIE. She had her own music conservatory. Directing the complex traffic in Heaven, you see ALLEN BRENNAN, who was chief of po¬ lice on earth. He ' s having a lot of trouble because BEVERLY HANEY isn ' t quite used to his wings yet. He ran a drag strip on earth. Noted model MARILEE MEEK is putting on one of the new Heavenly robes designed by SUSAN ASHBY and distributed by LARRY HATCHER. Together with SUSAN and her assistant JOYCE REDGRAVE, LARRY ran a profitable department store. The only Olympic champion to excel in all events was NORMA SULLIVAN. There she is now running along the Milky Way. The man tipping along with his candy-striped cane is EDWARD SULLIVAN, the barber who was so famous on earth especially for his peroxi de business. With him is MARTHA VAUGHAN, noted pianist. Walking through the Heavenly gardens which she donated is BETTY CLEEK. No one will ever forget her nursery or her bushes. This ends our tour. We hope you have enjoyed seeing this section of Heaven and meeting all our class members. They really did the mostthey could with their lives, and not to be bragging, we did too. We cannot remember exactly what it was, but it was fun! As a matter of fact, it was great fun just to be a ' 58er. 33 EPITAPH We, the GRADUATING CLASS of 1958 of James Monroe High School, being of slightly sound minds and wild anticipation do hereby establish this last Will and Testament.

Signed: Carolyn Smith Catherine Hall Witnessed: Bobby Nolan Tommy Garnett 35 REMINISCENCE and DREAMS Tonight and tomorrow and the years we left behind Will soon become memories blurred on the page of time. But forever and ever in our hearts we will find Thoughts of pleasures and joys which we must now leave behind. The journey seemed treacherous, long, and hard. In the distance, there was tonight. As we traveled the road, found it straight and sure, we finally reached our height. We journeyed together; worked and played and laughed as one. But now we must part; look ahead; our future ' s begun. We greet it with pride, with confidence, yet fear. We leave much behind us, so much that is dear. Our parents and teachers have guided and led. They await our success as we move ahead. We ' ve committed all the rules to memory, let us now commit them to life. Our future won ' t be easy; it may contain trouble and worry and strife. But we feel prepared, straight through the past we ' ve all trod; Our future ' s before us, our life depends on God. So James Monroe, we leave you; it ' s so hard to say good-bye For the future we have dreams; for the past, a lasting sigh. Our high school days are behind us; our future is up to fate. But we ' ll always cherish memories of the Class of ' 58.

The football squad compiled an eight and one record which is the best record ever for a Jacket team. The basketball team finished with a notable .500 average. The basketball squad was less fortunate for lack of experience, but what they learned this year will help make them a district contender next year. The track team had one of its finest sea¬ sons. Many of the old standing records were broken. These were: pole vault, shot-put, mile, shuttle relay, 120 high hurdles, and discus. Joe Hicks won Virginia ' s first Decathlon meet taking three out ten first places. He took first place in the pole vault, shot-put, and discus. 63 FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Timberlake, Sullivan, Duffey, Captain; Chewning, Poates.

The work of this organization should be as highly praised this year as in years past. Perhaps its greatest undertaking in this 1957-58 school year, under the leadership of President Jane Fenlon, was the bringing of our German foreign exchange student, Sibylle Erbe to us. Every student at James Monroe has most assuredly benefited from the presence of Sibylle among us. 72 FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Frantz, Fenlon, Minter.
