We shall always remember the inspiration given to us by our beloved faculty. As Commencement draws near, we, the Class of ’50, leave to you this small token of our activities and escapades, so that you may remember as well as we, our golden days at Madison. In doing so, we present the twenty-first volume of JHmteHsnti I £ riuml If Afimuufltratum au Jfaniltii HI (ElasBrs iH ArttmttPs m h Smarts J II AborrttB mpulB To one who is highly versed in the field of knowledge; who is understanding and helpful to everyone; who gives her undivided time and attention to each student’s problems; who, as an able leader with untiring efforts, does much to keep before us the highest ideals of life; whose inspiration and interest in all school activities are doing much to keep alive the spirit of our School; and who possessing an outstanding character and personality is well-liked by all. We, the members of the Staff, to show our gratitude dedicate this, our 1950 Monelison t Miss Virginia Mitchell. f 6 f Mr. Tyler Fulcher Principal Lynchburg College, A.B. University of Virginia, M.A. La Salle E. University, LL.B. Mr. Fulcher, an indispensable person in the administration of our school, has faithfully served for seven years. We, the Class of ’50, shall always remember his generous mind and heart, his friendship and his help. He has inspired all of us to higher and greater attainments, and he holds our highest respect as a Christian gentleman and an intellectual leader. It is our hope that this school will enjoy many years of success under the able guidance of Mr. Fulcher. A7Y I Mr. A. J. Camden Mrs. Bess W. Shrader Mr. f. F. Thomas SCHOOL KOAHD The people of the United States of America are its greatest resource. The youth of America are its greatest hope. The development of this hope is our country’s greatest challenge. A program of public school education is both necessary and essential in the execution of this purpose. This program, if successful, must be comprehensive in nature and concern itself with the mental, moral, social and personal development of the youth. Our Superintendent and School Board are more than aware of this challenge. They have assumed a position of leadership in meeting the total needs of the young people who have been placed under their care. They are vitally concerned with the intrinsic and extrinsic aspects of their responsibilities. We are not only indebted to our Superintendent, Mr. A. J. Camden, and to our School Board with Mrs. Bess W. Shrader, chairman; Mr. J. F. Thomas, vice-chairman; Mr. Ashby Woods and Mr. Herbert j. Camden, members, but we salute them.

G., (ilee, History fttadiJCh Heights High £chetl (Class iijistnrii On a day in September 1946, we, a band of 95 weary knights, set out on a conquest to gain new wealth in the form of knowledge. We were very fortunate indeed to have as our leaders in the first phase of the battle, Mrs. Powell, Mrs. McDermott, and Mrs. Arthur who were well informed and experienced in this type of encounter. For our able captains we chose Mary Stuart Taylor, President; Caleb Stowe, Vice-President; Gene Peters, Secretary and Treasurer and Dorothy White as our class representative. In this, our first battle, we were defeated many times, but under the rule of Mr. Fulcher, we finally won and set out for more wealth. In our second pilgrimage, we felt more confident as our armor was stronger and we had more experience. Although 27 ot our number had fallen in battle or deserted, we still were a courageous and hard-fighting group. Our capable commanders were Mrs. Butler and Miss MacPherson, who contributed much to build our character and further increase achievements as knights. To serve as our guides we chose Warren Rucker, President; Denise Hubbard, Vice-President; Laban Coleman, Secretary; Emmett Carson, Treasurer and Barbara Linthicum and Shirley Ewers as Representatives. Although we were weak and our armor badly worn by now, we were gradually mastering the struggle for knowledge. As a reward for our efforts, the title of Juniors was bestowed upon us. For this encounter, we had as our faithful leaders Miss Easterling and Mrs. Sandidge. To aid us in our work, we elected Joel Stowe, President; Laban Coleman, Vice-President; Warren Rucker, Secretary; Richard Holt, Treasurer; and Peggy McConnell, Gene Peters, and Juanita Thomas as class Representatives. In commemoration of our victories and our winning ability, we received our class rings, for which we had waited so many weary years. During this year we experienced the delight of being taken into many of the various clubs and in being invited to the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance and the Junior-Senior Picnic. Now we were prepared to enter the Senior Class of our knighthood. We had served our apprenticeship well, and we had earned the privilege of becoming Seniors. Our Senior sponsors, to whom we owe much of our success, were Mrs. Davis and Miss Mitchell. As our President, we elected Laban Coleman; Vice-President, Richard Holt; Secretary, Lynn Woody; and Treasurer, John Walker. We elected Juanita Thomas, Gene Peters, Peggy McConnell, and George Pulliam for our class representatives. Our Senior Year was highlighted by such events as the Senior Play and the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance. After such a long but delightful struggle, we finally have come to the end of this comradeship, and each of us must take his own course of life, inspired by the dear old Alma Mater and the teachers and our classmates who have not yet reached this goal. -! 23 I- The I9S0 tylau’l Jch (Class Pniyltrni As I sit before the fire, reminiscing of days gone by at our good old Alma Mater, I become sleepy and drowsy. Suddenly, before me there appears a tall knight, clad in bright armor. As I stare at his face, I find it a familiar one. Sure enough, it is Gordon Foster. (Could you believe it?) When I become accustomed to this shock, 1 see a large poster containing the picture of Frank Murphy and Denise Hubbard, a great tenor and soprano, who will sing at a banquet at the King’s palace in honor of George Farmer and Whitney Purvis, knights who have killed a dragon. (Whitney almost killed George instead of the dragon.) After seeing this, I decide to go to the banquet at the King’s palace. The arrival of the King was a great shock to me. The King, I find, is Reggie Rickets, who is very lazy, and calls upon his most royal subjects, Robert Bell and Emmett Carson, to do all his work while he docs nothing. As I mingle with the group of people at the banquet, 1 see many people from good old Madison High. I see that George Pulliam, the Casanova of the Court, is surrounded by a group of pretty ladies, three of whom arc Lois Goodman, Edith Lyon, and Lynn Woody. I wander on and find that Barbara L.inthi-cum and Shirley Smith, two ladies of the Court, are wearing gowns for Odelle Watts, the great clothes designer of the King’s Court, who has as her two assistants, Marlene Wilkcrson and Naomi Stinson. Next, I find that Myra Tyree will present a speech concerning the deeds performed by Sherwood Stinnettc. They say he killed two dragons in one day. (This seems incredible, doesn’t it?) Now, the scene changes. Before me a hunt is taking place. Dick Holt as King Arthur, with N. ). Thomas as Sir Garwaine and Gene Peters as King Pellimore are in hot pursuit after the big white stag of Fairyland. Arthur is far ahead of Garwaine and Pellimore. Suddenly, as he enters a heath, his horse becomes very frightened at four fairies: Mildred Clements, Mary Coleman, Jean Ayers and Helene Dawson. This scene fades, and a beautiful castle appears. Within its walls is the brilliantly decorated Round Table of King Arthur. R. D. Floyd, as Gareth, pleads with the King to make him a knight secrellv after being released from a vow made to his mother, Bellicent, who is Shirley Ewers. His request is granted, and shortly his quest begins. He is to go with Lynette, who is Pansye Franklin, to rescue her sister, Lynores, who is Shirley Campbell, from four knights: Morning Star. Noon-Sun, Evening Star, and Death who are Robert Foster, David Nuckles, Leonard Davis and Thomas Coleman. There, in the distance, I see John Walker as Sir Launfal riding in search of the Holy Grail. In my illusion a few hundred years elapse, and I see two ministrels, Betty Coffey and Peggy McConnell, being prepared by Ruby Hudson and Fay Hartless for a narration. In another part of the castle, a Monk, Laban Coleman, copies Sir Launfal's adventures in search of the Holy Grail. As I stare ahead, I catch a glimpse of a small village with an inn run by Barbara Phillips and Sylvia Campbell. I see the village blacksmith, Carlton Floyd, busy at work. The village sign painter, Ferol Briggs, is making new signs for his shop. Anthony Davis, the village merchant, is well-to-do from the sale of his goods. At the corner of the street. I see Taylor’s Clothing Shop owned by Mary Stuart Taylor, with clothing modeled by Kay Crews. Now the scene changes again. Across the Thames River I see the Tabard Inn. Among those to take the pilgrimage to Canterbury are Constance Wilkerson, Odessa Wood, Marjorie Carson and Doris Davis. Suddenly, there comes to my vision a beautiful castle, designed and built by Billy Story with the help of his able assistant, Massie Cash. I see the King, who is Carlton Wingfield, talking to his royal attendant, Juanita Thomas. Two messengers, Billy Ware and Bobby Ramsey, enter and invite the King to a banquet at which Caleb Stowe, Prince Charming, will select the most beautiful lady in the Kingdom for his wife. As the scene fades away, I find Dorothy Foster as Joan of Arc with her personnal guard, Julia Ann Burtyrd, ready to answer the call of her country. stir and sit up, to find the fire burning low. To my amazement, I have been dreaming. Now I realize that ty fellow classmates are contributing to the world as they did to our dear old Alma Mater in the golc i days of old. f24h tfladiACh Height High School (Class Util ITEM I To our forward-moving Alma Mater, we will: 1.

This year we already have had a joint party with the J. U. G. Club. We also plan a beauty contest in March. Money received from this will be contributed to promoting the guidance program. Other activities will include financing the engraving of the Seniors diplomas and contributing to the Athletic Program. We hope the club will continue to grow next year and will be very successful. ■( 42 J- tyadtich Heights High School OFFICERS George Pulliam Barbara Linthicum John Walker Mrs. Fayne East Miss Virginia McPherson Miss Virginia Mitchell President Secretary T reasurer Sponsors MEMBERS Douglas Allen.
