Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1953 volume:

THE SENTINEL Presented By THE SENIOR CLASS LAWRENCEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Lawrenceville, Virginia DEDICATION To express our esteem for our principal for his moral integrity, his wise counsel, his capacity for ably administering his duties, and for his constant endeavor to make ours a better school, we gratefully dedicate this volume of the Sentinel. 2 MR. B. FRANK WALTON Superintendent FOREWORD To record in the following pages the happiness and gaiety which have made Lawrenceville High live in our affections; to relate the pleasures of our daily life; to capture between these pages something of the spirit and ideals of the class of 1953, has been our purpose. If we have so succeeded that in after years we will turn from our daily pursuits, open this book, and live again the happy days of our youth, the Staff will consider its mission fulfilled. 3 FACULTY MRS.

Individuality is the chief characteristic. Add musical ability and wit, and this is Mardie. ANN MERIWETHER ANDERSON Secretary Latin Club 1 Treasurer, 2; Pep Club 2, 3, 4 Vice-President; Beta Club 3 Vice-Presi- dent, 4; Tri-Hi-Y 3, 4 Treasurer; Senior Play; Sentinel Staff; Class Secretary 1, 4. Ann, our editor-in-chief, is most dignified until those irrepressible giggles come. A worker in study and activities, with an alert mind and an attractive appearance, Ann is an outstanding member of the Senior Class. WILLIAM EMORY ELMORE Treasurer Latin Club 1, 2; Pep Club 2, 3, 4; Beta Club 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4 Vice-President; Midget Football 2; Basketball 2; Class Treasurer 4; Senior Play; Bow-Wow Staff. Determination will insure success for this studious young gentleman. 6 SENIORS 1953 SIDNEY DUGGER ABERNATHY Latin Glub L 2 ; D. O. Glub 4 Vice- President; Football 1, 2; Senior Play 4. Sid’s wit and humor and habit of speaking his mind have kept us glad that he has been with the class through these many short years. DOROTHY LEE AGREE Latin Glub 1 Secretary, 2; Pep Glub 2, 3, 4; Tri-Hi-Y 3, 4; Beta Glub 3, 4 President; Sentinel Staff; Bow-Wow Staff; Library Glub 4; Glass Vice-President 3; Senior Play, As- sistant. Intelligent, amiable, and sweet, Dorothy’s friendship is hard to beat. BRYANT WASHINGTON BAIRD, )R. Beta Glub 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4 President; Sen- tinel Staff; Glass Vice-President 2. A good student, a dignified Senior, and a leader in school activities. GARLAND WILSON BAIRD D. O. Glub 3; F. F. A. 2, 3. He is — oh, so very quiet, but he is just as serious about those lessons, and those good times. MAVIN HARLOW BAIRD F. H. A. 2, 4; Library Glub 4 Vice-Presi- dent. Mavin is tall and neat, with a pleasant quietness. MARY MAGDALENE BOTTOMS Library Glub 1, 4; Pep Glub 2, 3; F. H. A. 2, 4. Dependability in her studies, and depend- ability in her friendly ways will bring success to Maggie. 1 SENIORS 1953 SHIRLEY MAE BOWEN Pep Club 2, 3, 4; Library Qub 1, 4; F. H. A. L 4. For the many friends there is always a warm smile that makes knowing her well worth-while. MARTHA SCHISLER BRASWELL F. H. A. 1, 2, 3; Library Club 1, 2, 3; D. O. Club 4 Reporter; Sentinel Staff; Basketball 1. Martha has a flair for the artistic, and we are sure her blondness will always attract the brunettes. ELLA MAE BUCKNER F. H. A. 2, 3 and 4 Secretary. She follows the dictates of her heart, and goes her own happy way. ELSIE RAE BUCKNER F. H. A. 2, 3 and 4 Vice-President Following the Golden Rule brings happi- ness to Elsie as well as to the many friends. DOROTHY GOODE BUGG F. H. A. 2, 3; Pep Club 2, 3; Library Club 1, 2; D. O. Club 4 Treasurer; Bow- Wow Staff. Dorothy is a typical red-head — attractiveness and temper, too — and she knows how to dress to emphasize that hair. SHIRLEY VIRGINIA CAPPS Library Club 1; F. H. A. 2, 4; Pep Club 3, 4; Basketball 4. Classmates’ fun can bring a quiet smile; a friend’s conversation can break the shy reserve. 8 SENIORS 1953 NANCY LEE CHAMBLISS Latin Club 1, 2; Beta Club 3; Tri-Hi-Y 3, 4; F. H. A. 2, 4 Treasurer; Sentinel Staff. A good student, a sweet girl, an animated blonde is Nancy. JO ANN YVONNE CLARKE Library Club 1; Pep Club 2, 3, 4; Tri-Hi-Y 3, 4; F. H. A. 4; Bow-Wow Staff. This attractive, happy-go-lucky brunette is seen everywhere and is never without a boy friend. BETIT RUTH CLARY F. H. A. 2, 3; Library Club 1, 3; D. O. Club 4. The song says that there are many smiles, but Betty’s are those which bring sunshine to her many friends. ELSIE MAE CLARY F. H. A. 2. Blonde and quiet, a nice friend to know. WILLIAM CARLTON CONNELL F. F. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi-Y 3, 4. Not good looking, but he’ll do; not a book worm, but he passes; not a Don Juan, but he really has a girl; just an average boy is Carlton. WILLIAM BLACKWELL CROSS We are glad, “Black”, that you rejoined us here at L. H. S. Sometimes we envy your easy-going ways and ability to get a girl. 9 SENIORS 1953 MARTHA ANN CUMBIA Latin Club 1, 2 Secretary; Pep Club 2, 3, 4; Tri-Hi-Y 3, 4 Secretary; Beta Club 3, 4; Bow-Wow Staff. Capable, quick-thinking Martha Ann can always be counted on to add sunshine to those “rainy days”. JESSIE MARILYN DRUMMOND Library Club 1; Pep Club 3, 4; F. H. A. 2, 4 and 5 President; Bow-Wow Staff. Jessie knows that pretty clothes make a more attractive blonde. She knows, too, how to play and how to work and how to be teased. MARY SEWARD DUGGER Latin Club 2 Secretary, 3; Library Club 1; Tri-Hi-Y 3, 4; Pep Club 2, 3, 4; Cheerleader 3, 4; Basketball 1, 4; Class President 1; Class Secretary 2, 3. Vivaciousness, amusing remarks, and spark- ling eyes make Seward’s presence always a popular one. ROBERT GOODLOW FLOYD F. F. A. 2, 4; Hi-Y 5; D. O. Club 5. It is said that still waters run deep, and certainly these words fit Robert, for with him there is little in sound, but much in what is accomplished. MARY CORNELIA GRIZZARD Library Club 1, 3; Pep Club 2, 3; D. O. Club 4 Secretary; F. H. A. 4; Beta Club 3; Tri-Hi-Y 4; Bow-Wow Staff. The Senior Class is glad to have Mary, for workers such as she, efficient and tireless, are hard to find. OBIE BURNES ELLIOTT, JR. F. F. A. 1, 2, 3, 4 President; Pep Club 3; Hi-Y 4; Monogram Club 2, 4; Football 2, 4; Senior Play. Why did you wait so long, O. B.? With your class activities, your club work, vour football, your dark good looks, you have really made the limelight, this, your Senior year. 10 SENIORS 1953 JUDITH LEE HARRIS Latin Club 1, 2; Pep Club 2, 3 Reporter, 4; Tri-Hi- Y 3 , 4 Vice-President; Beta Club 3, 4 Secretary; Sentinel Staff; Senior Play; Cheerleader 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; F. H. A. 4; Class Treasurer 1; Class Reporter 4. Don’t let so much chatter fool you! Judy got the Sentinel ads with it. Cuteness, friend- liness, and good grades are Judy’s, too. PEGGY JEAN HARRISON Latin Club 2. A sweet, old-fashioned girl who still re- members the art of blushing. ERNEST RANDOLPH HARRISON F. F. A. 2, Treasurer 3, 4. and 5; Hi-Y 4, Secretary 5 and 6; Football 4, 5; Monogram Club 5, 6. Randolph is a sports lover. Steady and de- pendable, he makes us glad to have him for a friend. DORIS ELIZABETH HIGH D. O. Club 4; Library Club 1, 2, 3 ; F. H. A. 1, 2. Doris must have learned all that F. H. A. can teach before she changed to D. O. for evidently she could carry out the old saying that “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.’’ BETTY SIMMS HUDSON Latin Club 1, 2; Pep Club 2, 3, 4; F. H. A. 4; Tri-Hi-Y 4; Sentinel Staff; Cheerleader 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4. A petite, carefree blonde with the ways of a blonde, for Betty Simms never lacks a sweetheart. JOYCE LEE LUCY F. H. A. 2, 3, 4; Pep Club 2, 3, 4; Sentinel Staff. It is hard to believe that so much fun and work could come from such a tiny blonde. SENIORS 1953 GRACE MERLE LYNCH Latin Club 1, 2; Pep Club 2, 3, 4; Library Club 4 Secretary; F. H. A. 4 Reporter; Sen- tinel Staff. Merle’s calm manner, neat and pleasing appearance will make her a charming hostess for that future home. DOROTHY MARIE MOORE Latin Club 1, 2; F. H. A. 2, 3; Beta Club 3; D. O. Club 4. Qualifications for a nurse — patience, friend- liness, ability — Dorothy has them all. BETTY ANNE MOSELEY F. H. A. 2. That ready smile means a warm friendlines, though her very, very quiet ways often con- ceal it. MABEL PERMELIA OLIVER Latin Club 1, 2; Pep Club 2, 3, 4; Tri- Hi-Y 3, 4 Reporter; Beta Club 3, 4; Sentinel Staff; F. H. A. 2, 3, 4. Smart and able, that’s our Mabel. SHIRLEY ANN PEARSON Latin Club 1, 2; Pep Club 2, 3, 4; Beta Club 3, 4; Bow-Wow Staff; Tri-Hi-Y 3, 4 Chaplain; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; F. H. A. 4; Senior Play, Assistant. A student dependable and loyal, energetic and efficient. FRANCES JOY PEEBLES Latin Club 1, 2 President; Pep Club 2, 3 President, 4; Tri-Hi-Y 3, 4 President; Beta Club 3, 4 Vice-President; Sentinel Staff; Senior Play; Basketball 1, 2; Cheerleader 4; Class President 3. An excellent student, active in church and school affairs, Joy’s blonde prettiness brings joy to many. 12 SENIORS 1953 MATTIE LEE. PULLEY F. H. A. 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Bow-Wow Staff; Pep Club 2. Mattie Lee is a typical Brodnaxian, full of life and ready to go. BARBARA DALE ROBERTS Latin 2, 3; Pep Club 3, 4. We hope that you, Dale, never lose your gentle way and your courageous spirit. MIRIAM ELIZABETH ROBINSON Latin Club 2, 3 ; Beta Club 3, 4; Tri-Hi-Y 4; Bow-Wow Staff; Class Treasurer 3. A quiet manner and Beta Club grades mask a carefree way and a will of her own. JESSIE ELIZABETH SADLER Library Club 1, 4 Treasurer; F. H. A. 2, 4; Pep Club 4; Sentinel Staff. Jessie is industrious and that, with her pleasantness, we are certain will make her a success in the secretarial field. NORA SIMS SEWARD F. H. A. 2, 4; Library Club 4; Bow-Wow Staff. Serene and steady-going Nora accomplishes her work and acquires and keeps her friends. MARY VIRGINA SEYMOUR Library Club 1 President; Latin Club 2, 3; Pep Club 2, 3, 4; Tri-Hi-Y 3, 4; Beta Club 4; Bow-Wow Staff; Senior Play; Class Treas- urer 2. Small in size, her lively interest and con- versation in ‘‘current affairs” make her the center of any group. 13 SENIORS 1953 PATRICIA ANN SHOOP Pep Club 2, 3, 4; F. H. A. 2, 3, 4; Senti- nel Staff. Patsy is noted for her church and school work and a love of good times. NANCY LEA SIMMONS F. H. A. 2, 4; Pep Club 3, 4; Library Club 2. “Laugh and the world laughs with you.” DOROTHY DARKLAND SPENCE Library Club 1; F. H. A. 2; D. O. Club 4; Tri-Hi-Y 4. Dorothy can be our “star” with her ability to work and sing. PHILLIP LAWSON TAYLOR F. F. A. 2, 3 bce-President; Hi-Y Chap- lain 2 and 3; D. O. 4 President; Senior Play. Nice looks, nice ways, nice boy — that’s Phil. GLORIA HARRELL THACH Library Club 1; Pep Club 2, 3, 4; Basket- ball 1, 2, 3, 4; Cheerleader 2; Senior Play; Class ' ice-President 1. Our thanks to Gloria for keeping us in a good humor with her impulsiveness and abil- ity to say the wrong things at the right times. BARBARA ANN THOMAS Latin Club 1; Library Club 1; F. H. A.. 2, 3 Treasurer; Pep Club 2, 3; D. O. Club 4; Basketball 3; Sentinel Staff. A bundle of nerves, Barbara is never still. A capable girl, she likes “good times” and “good gossip.” 14 SENIORS 1953 LEE TRACY THOMAS Football 5; Baseball 5; D. O. Club 5. Quiet in ways, small in stature, tough in football — thus is made Tracy. JAMES MONROE WILLIAMS F. F. A. 1, 2 ice-President, 3, 4 Treasurer. A happy-go-lucky fellow with many a friend among his classmates. MAC ALBER ' r W ' OODRUEI ' ' F. P’. A. 2, 3, 4 N ' ice-Fresident A little fun and much friendliness make Mac a regular guy we’re glad to know. HELEN SADIE W ' OOTTON Pep Club 2, 3, 4; F. H. A. 2. 3, 4. A slow gait, but a quick smile. JAMES EMERSON WRIGHT Pep Club 2, 3, 4; F. F. A. 2; Hi-Y 4; Cheerleader 4; Bow-Wow Staff; Sentinel Staff; Senior Play. You may travel the length and breadth of the land and never find another like our Emerson. In high school memories he’ll al- ways hold our affection for his humor and his seriousness, his work and play. 15 Lawrenceville High School Lawrenceville, Virginia June, 1953 Dear Friends, The Editor has given this page to us in order that we might tell you of our class. This is not a history, for to those not of the class itself, a class history is just a long series of meaningless events. We are certain that no member of the class of ’53 needs a history, for each event of these four long, but swiftly moving years, is deeply imprinted upon the memory of each. We have had our serious moments and yes! our studious mo- ments. There have been hours of amusement, wholesome and joyous merriment. There has been praise when it was deserved, censure well given where it was needed. It is said that the pupils make a school. The teachers do much to make the pupils, and we praise the faculty, from Mr. Jones down, for the student body of Lawrenceville High, of which we are justly proud. We have respected our teachers and have loved them. We have obeyed them, fussed at them, while pitying our over-burdened selves, played with them at proper times, and worked with them. As personalities differ, so many of us have picked a particular teacher as his own favorite, but each teacher we have had has become a part of us in varying degrees. We have gathered in the knowledge he has imparted. We have assumed unintentionally, for better (we hope) or worse, a mannerism or a characteristic for which he unknowingly has set the example. We have followed the many classes before us in extra-curricular activities, trusting that the classes and the clubs are a little better for having known us. We have followed tradition in dances, plays, and contests. We have more than our share of honor students. Perhaps that counteracts the fact that we lack our share of athletes. We have known unsuccessful years in sports during our high school days, but we shall not forget the thrill of hard-fought, sportsman-like games, the friendly companionship of games at home and the fun of bus trips for games played away. And so we are saying adieu to you now, dear teachers and friends, students and classmates of L. H. S. We thank God that He has so blessed us that we live in a glorious country, where a child may be educated to follow in His ways. To our parents, especially, and to each of you who has helped us, we are grateful. The Class of ’53.
