' L. H. Foster Alumni Assoc. P. 0. Box 34 Crewe, VA 23930 FOREWORD CO-EDITORS’ MESSAGE One of the outstanding undertakings of our senior year has been to produce a book of memories, a collection of events, activities, and accomplishments; a book of honor and satisfaction. This year, with the help of a very enthusiastic and hard-working staff, we have tried to compile all the happenings of our senior year so that in years to come, we may all look back to a year that was filled with cooperation and a winning spirit, a year that should recall our high school career for many years to follow. As co-editors, we wish to express the thanks of the entire staff to the administration, faculty, and student body for their many helps and encouragements to us. May the Bulldog” always serve to remind you of your happy high school days, and always signify a job as one of honest effort and sta¬ bility.

CLASS POEM Melody - Juanita On a lofty green hillside. Where our flag waves in the air, Stretch the broad arms of Foster, That held us so dear. The last bright sunset fades and dies Against the distant, unknown skies; Toward another light we perceive our fate We, the Class of 1958. Oh we ' ll never forget you In us pride you have instilled To uphold the righteous, With the truth fight fear. The years of toil and struggling Are just around the bend, The easy years are gone And may come again, but when? Chorus: Foster, dear Foster, May your dreams for us come true. Foster, dear Foster, All our thanks to you. The high goals that we have set, The firm foundations which are laid, These we could not have achieved Without your experienced counseling aid. Out in life ' s ocean, As we set asail at sea, We ' ll be guided forever By the hopes of thee. We are self-confident and adventurous Facing merciless, strange, and unknown land; But give us time, our names will be there, Written deeply in the sand. Tho ' the light seems dimmer As we meet Fate’s roughest tide By your truths we’ll linger, ' Til the tide abides. At times, the world shall praise us, At others, the world shall blame, Though we work for the joy of the winning, And climb up the pathway of fame. Chorus: Foster, dear Foster, May your dreams for us come true. Foster, dear Foster, All our thanks to you. For each in his separate calling, His separate thought must express, As he follows the gleam as he sees it To the goal that to him means success. Clarence Hobbs Ruth Carter Melvin Tucker Shirley Rather William White Helen Jennings Calvin Green James Green DEDICATED TO OUR BELOVED PARENTS We, the class of 1958, dedicate this yearbook, the Bulldog, to our parents who have constantly supported and guided us. For twelve long years you have encouraged us to a successful school life. Only you, with your wisdom, patience, and love could have known that sometime in the dim future we would realize what you have done for us. We know now, in a small degree, that without your untiring efforts we never could have attained this goal along the road of life. Yours has not been an easy task. If we’ve seemed ungrateful, we know you have forgiven our shortcomings because they are the usual imperfections of youth and in¬ experience. Your inspiration has led us thus far and points to a future, limited only by our own ambition. We wish to extend to you in this petite way our sincerest appreciation for making these years enjoyable as well as fruitful. Your Children, The Senior Class of 1958 MRS. SALLIE B. COLEMAN, Secretary : , - ' ' ... FROM THE PRINCIPAL MR. JAMES B. WOODSON, Principal To The Seniors: Greetings! Now comes to you that long-awaited date - a dream fulfilled in nineteen fifty- eight ! Yes, graduation day does bring the fulfillment of a dream for which you have worked faithfully and waited anxiously during many long months and years. It rep¬ resents for you a sort of Mission Accomplished. I am happy to share with you the joy and satisfaction which you so richly deserve at this moment in your lives. Fully do I appreciate the long hours of study and toil which you have endured. There have been sacrifices, too, - many of them - by both your parents and by you. Temptations of many sorts have threatened to pull you from your course. Anxieties, fears, secret longings, misunderstandings, and even temporary failures have all been met and con¬ quered. Certainly, then, you have a right to look upon this occasion as a milestone of accomplishment. You have proved your worth in many, many ways. You have ele¬ vated and blessed the good name of your family and your school. You deserve our praise and also our earnest prayers - prayers that you may always move forward to higher and nobler heights. Such is my pride in your accomplishments - and such are my prayers for you. Finally, what about tomorrow ' s dreams and tomorrow’s work? Let me suggest as a guide these lines from Henry Van Dyke: Let me but do my work from day to day, In field or forest, at the desk or loom, In roaring market-place or tranquil room; Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, ' This is my work; my blessing, not my doom; Of all who live, I am the one by whom This work can best be done in the right way. Then shall I see it not too great, nor small, To suit my spirit and to prove my powers; Then shall I cheerful greet the laboring hours, And cheerful turn, when the long shadows fall At eventide, to play and love and rest, Because I know for me my work is best. With our signatures we salute you. - THE FACULTY 1958 CLASS HISTORY It was the sixth day of September, 1952, a calm, peaceful, autumnal day, radiant with the sunshine of hope, cheer, and joyous promise, that the good ship L.H. Foster High School stood at anchor at the wharf of a new school year. It was the same ship that had carried many passengers to safe harbor in the Land of Great Wisdom and Useful Living. Many persons watched with anxiety as the one hundred forty-seven hopeful young students stepped aboard to set sail on a new voyage in quest of The Fountain of Perfect Under¬ standing. There were naturally a few cases of seasickness and many were tempted to throw arith¬ metic, geography, and some of our other best belongings overboard in times of rough sea. As our voyage continued, we came across many islands of disappointments. The first island claimed eighteen of our fellow classmates, causing us to be gin with one hundred twenty-five members in September, 1953. This, the second year voyage, made us realize that the acquiring of an education is not as easy as some may expect it to be. During this year the Vocational Exploratory Course helped us to recognize the fundamentals and importance of the various departments of our school. September, 1954, in the ninth grade, one hundred seven of our former group had become more accustomed to high school life and had settled down to select and to begin following our individual high school curriculums. Our teachers were very informative in helping each person to select the curriculum of his choice and capability. The school year of 1955-56, was anxiously awaited as eighty-ought of us began our voyage for the fourth time. Many of us could hardly await our first opportunity to take French I, and others were eager to become members of new extracurricular activities . In the fall of 1956-57, we set sail again, sixty-nine of us, full of energy, vigor, and vitality. Three of our most competent faculty members were assigned as our Junior Advisors. This was a joyous year as we worked diligently in making plans for the Junior-Senior Prom. Oriental Garden -what could have been a better theme for our enchanted affair. A la fin ? The school year 1957-58! Here we considered ourselves dignified seniors. We were unhappy to start the year with only fifty-nine shipmates. We elected our class officers as follows: President, Shirley Austin; Vice President, Thomas Quarles; Secretary, Shirley Rather; Parliamentarian, Christine Davis; Assistant Secretary, Lucille Fields; Treasurer, Edward Thompson; Chaplain, Christine Jackson; Reporter, Thelma Hobbs. It was the honor of the senior class to have Thelma Hobbs elected Miss Homecoming for 1957-58. Linwood Green Marian Fitzgerald Roosevelt Birchette Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to be always a child. If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge. -Cicero I JAMES B. WOODSON Principal Began service in Nottoway County 1943 MRS. ETHEL L.

May you prove worthy of this acclaim. Working with you and watching you grow spiritually, morally, physically and intellectually has been a true pleasure. A teacher ' s greatest reward is seeing students develop into well-informed, worthwhile citizens. As you anxiously look forward to com¬ mencement, remember you ' re finishing to begin. May you look to a Divine Pow¬ er to help you charter your course in life wisely. Sincerely yours, Senior Advisor Allie R. Wright Dear Seniors: It is with deep feeling that I take these few moments to say how challeng¬ ing, heart-warming, and pleasant it has been working with each of you. You have now come to the end of your high school phase of study, and many of you are viewing graduation as another time of promotion. Keep the idea of pro¬ motion before you, not as a means if giv¬ ing up what might have seemed uninter¬ esting and hard, but rather of preparing yourselves for something which is even harder; yet, you will find it more reward¬ ing. My message to each of you is simply a prayer for your success and happiness in the years of tomorrow. Very truly yours, Senior Advisor Frances W.

CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1958, having enjoyed a wonderful high school life with our Foster Family, realize that our departure is drawing near. Re¬ membering the kindness and helpfulness of our faculty and friends and being of sound mind and body, we feel that we are qualified to make the following bequests. To our parents, we leave our thankfulness and our heartfelt gratitude for your patience, kindness, and never failing guidance. We shall continue to strive for the best in life to show that your efforts were not in vain. To our beloved principal, Mr. J. B. Woodson, and the faculty, who have been kindhearted, patient, understanding, and sympathetic in dealing with us in our past years, we leave our sincere appreciation. To our followers, the Juniors, we leave our leadership ability, capacity for friendliness, and courage to reach the ladder of success. To the Sophomore Class, study hard, maintain high scholastic achieve¬ ments, and fill our seats but do not take our places.

VARSITY “F” CLUB Sponsors: MRS. A. R. WRIGHT W. H. SHERRILL Los Angeles, California June 5, 1968 THE CRYSTAL BALL REVEALS WHAT OUR CLASSMATES ARE DOING TEN YEARS AFTER GRADUATION We have just arrived in California and are beginning to unpack, but wait--the Crystal is beginning to reveal the progress made by our classmates during the last ten years. Several of our classmates went to Paris to start a big business. Christine Davis has a dress shop, La Mode,”. Calvin Greene is her manager; Lillian Stith is her assistant manager and Edward Thompson is her head tailor. Among the models are Justine Booth, Martha Oliver, and Delia Ingram. Gracie Wilson is now weighing 170 lbs. and is happily married to Stewart Hurte who owns a livestock market. His head buyers for the market are: Quentland Tucker, Charles Crawley and Melvin Tucker. Helen Branche and Edith Parham are head managers of Ocean Beach in Connecticut. Their swimming instructors are their husbands, John Oliver and Alfia Harris. Thomas Quarles and Shirley Austin are happily married and are instructors of the Atomic Energy Plant in Oakridge, Tennessee. We were astonished to learn that Linwood Green is head doctor in Bronx, New York, and Mary Ann Eppes is his private sweetheart secretary. Clarence Hobbs and Helen Jennings are happily married with six children, and they have a recreation center opened to all children in Seattle, Washington. Imagine who has just completed a week’s engagement singing at the Mosque in Richmond with the Five Keys! Well, it is Wahseola Harris, Mary Blackwell, and Elnora Boose; also just before the affair ended, the second Tommy Sands, better known to us as William White, gave his performance. Ruth Carter has graduated from Shaw University and she is head doctor in the new hospital in Denmark. Her head nurse is Christine Jackson. Quite a few of the other nurses are graduates of our class--Bessie Jones, Georgie Ingram, and Ellen Davis. Lanette Robinson is now singing at the Apollo Theater in New York. Her manager is Samuel Lee. Roosevelt Birchette and Merdith Lee are star players in football with U. C. L. A. Martha Branche and Alvin Rather are chief editors of the Crewe Chronicle. Thelma Greene is happily married to Kenneth Evans and is teaching at Wilberforce University in Ohio. Leon Johnson and his wife Ethel Booker, are living across the street from Jacqueline Pollard and her husband, and their nine children. They live in No-Man ' s Land, in a beautiful brick home and he teaches Agriculture at a near-by University. Shirley Rather is a Lieutenant in the Air Force and is stationed in Okinawa with her unidentified husband. Still struggling and trying to pass chemistry at A. T. College in North Carolina is Marjorie Shelton, whose teacher is the husband of Rachel Johnson. The three often visit the campus Snack Bar operated by Clarence Allen. We are glad to report that Creasie Dagner and Marian Fitzgerald are nurses at Central State Hospital in Petersburg. Well, William Fitzgerald is a senator in Congress, and James Fowlkes is a represent¬ ative of Nebraska. Instead of sleeping in the park, William Bolling has awakened and is majoring in trigonometry at Pennsylvania State College. Guess What! Melvin Rhodes has completed his course in hair styling in Wichita, Kansas and his wife, Mary Johnson, is a manicurist. Odell Randle is now operating a Lock Jaw Chewing Gum Factory in Richmond, Virginia and is also an English Professor at Armstrong High School. Ethel Booker, Virginia’s District Attorney, finds herself looking in on a wrestling match featuring James Green and Willie Hurte. I guess that you are wondering what we are doing. Well, Lucille Fields and I are living together at the Convalescent Home in California. And verily, as we behold, the revolving of the Crystal Ball is becoming slower, Aye, even so shall it straightway come to pass with each and all of us, and as we seal into our minds the things that are, we are sure that as coming events cast their shadows, only goodness and truth and prosperity shall follow all the days that are yet to come to the fair and talented members of the Class of 1958.
