Sr ee Sap aa Minna Ran Ree fame AB a . on ¥ Pate has given us an opportunity this year to look back upon an honorable eighty year legacy, as this year makes the school at Jarratt four-fifths of a century old and gives the Seniors the distinction of being the fiftieth graduating class, Disregarding the school's anniversaries would be a tremendous over- sight, so we are presenting some of the highlights in our school's annals. Housedtoday in a modem brick building, with a central heating plant, electricity and running water, we can look back on the customs and incon- veniences of our parent'sand grandparent's school days with interest. Their school was the usual one-room building with a pot-bellied stove, kerosene lamps and well water, drunk by all from a common dipper. Kid wagons drawn by horses or mules provided a means of transportation until the day of cars. Model T Ford trucks with canvas covers were used until our day of all steel buses. But whatever the mode of transportation, the choice of studies or the structure of the building, a tradition of deep loyalty so necessary for any school to excel and an unforgettable closeness among stu- dents and teachers so dear to the hearts of everyone have always been prevalent. For generations of Jarrattites, it was more than aninstitution; it became a way of life. Dedication We, the Seniors of 1962, with gratitude and devotion, fondly dedicate this anniversary edition of THE BUILDERS to Mrs, Elizabeth Feild Jarratt. Asthe elementary S,C.A. sponsor, she has filled for years a unique place in our school, To the success of this organization she has given untiring effort and precious minutes, Another outstanding contribution has been the interest she has createdinart. As fifth grade pupils, we learned to appreciate the beautiful, the lovely aspects of life. Administration Sussex County School Doar’ SEATED, LEFT TO RIGHT: H. P. Nolen, Division Superintendent; R. H.

WILLIAMS Third Grade Second Grade First Grade ee First Graduates and Ama Tater In 1912, the newly established Jarratt High School saw its first graduating class. It consisted of only three girls: the Tyussisters, Evelyn and Mary, and Florence Jarratt, who went away to college (a female academy in Littleton, N.C.) but returned after the high school was founded. Although her name wasn't first alphabetically, it has been said that Mary Tyus was the first to be handed a diploma at Jarratt High School. On the opposite page is published greetings she has sent to this year's graduating class, the fiftieth and largest in the school's history with twenty-three members. This June, she will have been followed by 407 graduates, Below are pictures taken at the school in the days of its youth. Regrettably, a picture of the first high school building was not available. SECOND GRADUATING CLASS- 1913 LEFT TO RIGHT: Carrie Owen, Annie Mae Tyus, Eliza- beth Jarratt, and Lelia Parsons, In the foreground is Charles Owen, first male graduate of Jarratt High School. FIRST FLAGPOLE The significance of this picture is patriotically that this is an expedition of high school boys into the Jarratt family tract of land adjacent to the school to get a staff for the new school's American flag. FIRST MUSIC TEACHER Miss Genevieve Eubank A First Graduate Sends Greetin Gs to Ochool’s Siftieth Graduates Greetings, Young friends and fellow alumni! Let me commend you in your undertaking this year to turn back the clock for one- half a century and glean through the intervening years to see what the pioneers ofthe Jarratt High School had left in the way of a heritage for you the seniors of this class of 1962. It is very difficult for us in our passing days to realize that we are filling in the pages ofhistory and contributing to the heritage to be built upon by the on-coming generations. There is little that can be told of the first graduating class of Jarratt High School, that evening inJune so long ago, unless it could be their fortitude and endurance, in view of the fact that all members of this class lived in rural areas, the roads of that day being what they were and the school buildings, a far cry from the modern structures. Progress took a mighty hand and wonders have been wrought since that era. This class of 1912 would like to think they did spin a thread, ever so slender it may have been which could be there for each succeeding generation to weave upon. Young people of this class of 1962, please never forget you are very much inthe making of history today and you are weaving upon the threads of heritage which you have received and will pass on to future classes of our Alma Mater. Spin your threads well, in fulfilling that purpose and plan that God has so wisely and beautifully laid out for each of your lives. From this class there well may come a President of the United States, missionaries to the far corners of the earth and other men and women holding responsible positions in a Christian world. May your generation be the one to tum the tide of an unfriendly, hostile world to one of everlasting peace. May God bless and keep you always.

Asa school room the building hada platform for teacher's chair, her easel-type desk, and a bench to which scholars were summoned for recitation, Conveniences consisted of one water bucket and one dipper and a fresh bucket of water from the Joe Grigg pump twice a day. Punishment was corporal: whacks across the palm of the hand with a ruler, The course of study was reading, writing, arithmetic, and dictionary. Friday afternoons were given over to spelling matches, multiplication matches, and dictionary matches, The greatest glory was to stay at the head of the line for months; the worst disgrace was to miss the answer and go to the foot of the line, As need arose this one-room school became a two-room, then a three-room school until finally all seven grades were taught and an offer for “individual instruction in higher education was made, Most of today's adult citizens do not appear inthis picture because Greensville County operated a public one- room school not far from the head of Jarratt Avenue. Then, too, in the early 1900's a governess was considered more thorough and more fashionable, But as the school grew, people became more public-school minded, and eventually Greensville and Sussex pupils enrolled together, Clemen lary Tommy Babb Mike Harrell Curtis Owen Bobby Powell Seventh Grade Jerry Brown Steve Harris Debbie Ricks Patricia Fannon Sandra Mangum Kenneth Pa lmer Ann Shields Becky Williams 24 Billy Gooding Connie Hall Linda Neal Patsy Parker Joey O'Rourke Jean Pennington Billy Spiers Judy White Not Pictured: Gil Mattox ee aE.

As Recalled by Miss Bernie Jarratt Much ado, everybody agog-the first Sussex County School Fair was in the offing. Meetings for this and meetings for that. Green and white were chosen for colors. Rob Jarratt designed the emblem: the letters J.H.S, in white, intertwined, to be sewed on a green background, This would be the pennant and every child was to carry a pennant in the parade. Sewing, sewing, sewing; marching, marching, marching; cheer- ing, cheering, cheering; spelling, spelling, spelling to choose the best, and each child working on his individ- ual entry. Entries could be anything from dressing a Negro doll to pickling pigs' ears, Everybody was busy, very busy. And very excited. Professor Hartwell S. Adkins, collected, a day in advance, the round trip fare to Waverly. This forty- mile trip-and return-would cost less than a dollar. Some people were handing him two-dollar bills, pre- valent then. Making change was a nuisance. Many interested adults, not connected with the school, were going along too. Bernie spent the preceding night with Lucy and the two girls took a profound oath to punch each other as long as either was awake. They did lotsof punching, but no sleeping. The four o'clock Virginian came long before sun-up. More thana hundred people board- ed it for Gray. Changing trains in Gray was not uncomfortable. In fact, the three-hour wait for the Southern was made cozy and jovial by a roaring fire in Sheriff Joe Prince's general store. Bernie and Lucy got their first sleep of the night lying side by side on the counter. Clerk Dick Chappell covered them with newspapers. At eight o'clock the narrowgauge took the Jarratt crowd from Gray on their way to Waverly. Pennants flying, voices cheering- Waverly here they come! - Waverly is a town of one long street that lends itselfto parades. Andparadethey did. Never was such a parade! Superintendent of Schools W. W. Edwards called the words for the spelling matches. Service, he calledto Elizabeth Jarratt. S-u-r-v-i-c-e,” spelled Elizabeth. Shecorrected herself but had to step down. Suite, called Mr. Edwards to Florence Jarratt. S- u-i-t-e, spelled Florence and stayed in to win a prize. Ina match foryounger pupils, Lucy Wright won. The design of the school emblem atop the stage won a prize for the school in the first Sussex County School Fair. Probably seldom noticed, it is symbolic of the competitive spirit of the schoolwhich carved a name for itself by winning so many contests. Exhibits were on display. Gertrude Prince won a two-dollar bill for the hemstitched shirtwaist she en- tered. Sidney Prince won a two-dollar bill for the axe handle he carved. RobJarratt won a framed Gibson Girl for his drawing of Ty Cobb, which he still has. Lots of people won lots of prizes. ‘Twas a tired but proud bunch of pupils that re- turned home on the midnight Virginian fifty years ago in session 1910-11, Fairs continued over a number of years, Trans- portation became a little easier. Hugh and Marvin Hines had a daddy who had, of all things, an auto- mobile. He took some of the contestants, In time others got automobiles and took contestants, There were no roads, just a trail of mudholes, but somehow they got to Waverly. When going was made easier interest waned, Soon nobody but contestants went. ‘Twas about the year 1917 that Jarratt brought home so many prizes that there never were anymore fairs. Kermit Redman is now using in his home the hand carved bookcase he got a six-dollar prize for. His brother Bob won the 100-yard dash. Elliot Miller won a foot race. Feild Batte won a relay and a 100- yard dash. Hazel Redman won a spelling match. In short, so many contests were won by Jarratt people all cannot be named. Whatever became of those Waverly fairs? iy cliutties SEATED, clockwise, are: Rose Ellen Kientz, Carolyn Richardson, Mrs. Saunders, Gary Williams, Neal Proctor, Frances Sykes, Nancy Woodruff, Dolly Rodgester.

The Student Cooperative Associations of Jarratt High School have met monthly to be informed, to pro- mote ideas and ideals, and attempt to tackle immediate school problems. The high school has enjoyed varied programs which have included a panel quiz, pep rallies, and‘a musical presentation. Delegates were sent to the State S.C.A. Convention to learn more about the organi- zation and how it can become more beneficial to the school. By commending the Beta Club members on several occasions, the older S.C.A. group has encouraged better scholarship. Among the service projects the elementary S.C.A. has sponsored during the past year were a campaign to sell Christmas seals for the Sussex County Tuberculosis Association and a March of Dimes program for the Polio Federation. The elementary S.C.A. is under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth F. Jarratt. STAND- ING at the speaker's lectern is President Bobby Powell, OTHERS, clockwise, are; Jean Pennington, Vice-Pres- ident; Sandra Mangum, Li- brarian; Michael Redman, Treasurer; Curtis Owen, Ser- geant-at-Arms; Ann Shields, Reporter; and Patricia Fan- non, Secretary.

The Aceslost only one game during the season; their second game against Surry. In the first round playoffs of the tournament, how- ever, Jarratt had a satisfying victory over Surry. The Aces took the district trophy over Midway High School. They (the Jarratt girls), reported the Petersburg PROGRESS-INDEX during the season, “again are being led along the victory trail by Joy Rideout, who is inherfourth season as one of the star performers of District C. Rideout put on a sensational scoring show in her freshman year to win all-district honors, and she has continued the brilliant performance right through her high school career, A member of one of the outstanding families of athletes in Southside Virginia, she has made quite a name for herself as one of the best . The team's triumph, of course, was accomplished by the outstanding teamwork of all the players. The girls were coached at school by Mrs. Saunders and at the games by Mr. Mayes. The Aces, led by Co-Captains Joy Rideout and Judy Owen, have had an extremely successful year and show great promise for continued success.

Do YS ’ Basketball The Jarratt Aces started out the season with six seniors onthesquad. They were led by Co-Captains Tommy Owen and Herbert Myrick, but each victory was an all-out team effort on the part of all the players. The Aces started out with an easy victory over arch-rival Stony Creek, and continued on to seven straight victories, They lost their first game of the season to McKenney by three points. This seemed to take some of the fight out of the Aces as they dropped four out of the next six games, They ended the season with a nine and five record and placed third in the District C race. In the first round playoffs of the tournament they were defeated by McKenney. All in all it was a very successful season for the Aces, which, in a sense, was a historic one. On October 28, 1961, senior star player Herbert Myrick broke all past J.H.S. records when he made 40 points for the school against Dinwiddie High School. The Aces were coached by Mr. Semones, This was Coach Semones first year and he did a great deal to help the team. All the players learned much from his guidance.

Jarratt High has had a number of school songs during its history. The present one, “Jarratt High (to the tune of On Wisconsin ), was adopted just this past year and its predecessor, When | ay fy va Dear Old Jarratt High School Falls in Line , was, of course, discarded. Cl2 OO Both are equally high-spirited, but as a finale to this edition of THE BUILDERS the editor chose the one that has been associated with this in- stitution longer. | What the future will bring for Jarratt High School is unknown, but the She ) pirit When dear old Jarratt High School falls in line, We're going to win a victory every time. To dear old Jarratt we will loyal be And for our team we'll cheer so faithfully. 54 We're going to fight, fight, fight the whole way through, And when we get the ball we'll put it through; For dear old Jarratt, Jarratt, have no fear, Hear us cheer: rah, rah, rah. 55 Acknowle Jqm ents Just like any other publication, without the valuable assistance and co-operation of many individuals this twenty-fifth edition of THE BUILDERS would not be a reality.
