t THE 1952 MONELISON sen Editor-in-Chief Margaret Franklin Business Managers Geraldine Brown I June Simmons Foreword In this, the twenty-third volume of The Monelison , we bring you every phase of your high school year hoping that this book will serve as a Scrapbook of Memories of your days spent at Madison Heights High School. We have striven to the best of our knowledge and ability to carry out our theme The Best Year Yet in producing an annual worthy of much praise and emulation. Accordingly, we, the Staff, now proudly present to you the '52 edition of The Monelison. 4 5 DEDICATION We, the Seniors of ’52, affectionately dedicate this, the twenty-third volume of The Monelison, to Mrs. Claude T. Fraley in recognition and appreciation of her outstanding guidance, her loyal support of all our undertakings and her numerous contributions to her classes, to the students, and to Madison Heights High School. 6 IN MEMORIAM Richard Campbell RICHARD CLAYTON CAMPBELL July 3, 1935—August 31, 1950 The jovial nature and friendly smile of Richard Campbell will long live in our memory, for Richard had the sunny disposition which brightened every group of which he was a part. He possessed the ability to make those with whom he came in contact, his associates and fellow students, his sincere and genuine friends. Because Richard’s life touched ours, we are richer in understanding true fellowship. JAMES HAROLD STORY February 20, 1937—August 14, 1951 Because he possessed those qualities which make a good student and citizen, Harold Story will be long remembered by both faculty and students of Madison Heights High School. His friendly disposition made it a pleasure to have him as a member of the student body; his unfailing interest made him an asset to whatever group of which he was a part. In these unsettled times, when persons of such character and ability are needed, the loss of Harold creates a vacancy in our school which never can be filled. 7 Harold Story ADM I NISTRATION MR. A. J. CAMDEN, SUPERINTENDENT In our world of work, each individual is afforded an opportunity to choose his life’s career. Each of these fields of work is very important, and all dependent upon the other and vice versa. One of the great challenges of the present age, as in the ages past, is to assist, help and guide the young people to develop and grow into happy, useful citizens. If the defects and ills of our social order are to be cured and remedied, at least in part, the leadership in our school units will in no small measure be responsible. Of the many opportunities for our Division Superintendent, Mr. A. J. Camden, to find a more lucrative profession, he has wisely chosen to work among Amherst County’s greatest resource, the youth. SCHOOL BOARD Each citizen of our County is challenged to render a public service, a service which carries with it little or no compensation of a pecuniary nature. There are many ways by which such a service may be rendered. The idea of helping young people grow and develop into worthy citizens able to meet the responsibilities which of necessity will be theirs is, indeed, one of the highest ambitions of those who are dedicated to public service. Of this our School Board with Mrs. Bess W. Shrader, Chairman; Mr. Jack F. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr. Ashby Woods, and Mr. Herbert J. Camden, members, arc most aware. 8 ADMINISTRATION Mr. Tyler Fulcher Principal Lynchburg College, A.B. University of Virginia, M.A. La Salle E. University, LL.B. February 22, 1952 Dear Students, We are living in a complex society. The events which have taken place since the Industrial Revolution are breath-taking in scope and in implication. The problems of life of today arc, indeed, different from those of yesterday. Figuratively speaking, as a student, you should pause from time to time for the purpose of viewing your surroundings or for the purpose of taking your bearings in the sea of complexity. A casual view will reveal that you arc in a period of preparation; that the citizens of your County and State believe in you to such an extent that they arc willing to pay considerable sums of money for your training; that your parents are providing not only tax money but all other expenses of your boyhood preparation; that your teachers have devoted their lives to your instruction and guidance, and that many others are devoting their time and energies to promote your welfare. As you, the student, thoughtfully take an account of yourself, you will inevitably reach the conclusion that society regards you as important and has vested interest in you. We now have many means of communication. From these means, we hear, see, and read that all is not well in our social order. We learn that there is war, or police action; that crimes arc being committed; that homes are disintegrating; that people are starving, and that much discontent is evident, and so on ad infinitum. To no small measure, your future performance will be determined upon your present preparation. Time is valuable, especially the present time. Tomorrow is not yours to count. The acquisition of technical knowledge and usable skills is important. The know-how abilities are necessary and essential. However, over and beyond these are other elements of training which deal with the art of living. What do you think of your fellownian? What are you willing to do for him? You should not be over anxious about the responsibilities which are yours now and the greater responsibilities which will be yours tomorrow. To devote yourself conscientiously to your present duties; to develop faith in yourself and in your fcllowman; to devote your efforts in your present preparation to the extent of your capacity, and to hold an abiding faith in your belief that the problems of life can be solved and the world can be made better, is my suggestion to you. In a world of changing values, there must be an absolute—a belief which will withstand the whims of time and be a fortress of strength in your hour of greatest challenge. Our Principle of Progress,” some years ago stated and adopted, and already knosvn by you, should be of help. The real meaning of this principle may be stated in question form: Wherever 1 Go, Will the Community be Better When I Leave?” With best wishes to each of you, I am Sincerely, Tyler Fulcher, Principal 9 THE FACULTY OF 1952 We, the Class of 1952, are deeply indebted to members of our Faculty, who have greatly encouraged us to do our best in everything. Through our High School years, we have grown to love and respect them more and more. Because of their sympathetic understanding and their willingness to help each student with his problems, they have helped to make this The Best Year Yet.” 10 Winnie Bush Radford College, B.S.

We arc endeavoring to do our utmost toward making this The Best Year Yet.” President Lawrence Cooper Vice President . . . James Story Secretary Joyce Bryant Treasurer . Geraldine Brown As members of the Senior Class of 1951-1952, we recall dreams of our earlier High School days, and now, as the end draws near, we are looking anxiously toward the day when we will receive our diplomas and venture invi life’s long road. With the combined efforts of two extremely spirited sponsors. Miss Virginia Mitchell and Miss Virginia McPherson, we arc challenging the previous classes of M. H. H. S. in attempting to accomplish a higher goal by putting forth more effort in order that we may obtain a greater standard and get more out of our Senior year than any other class before us. Some of the highlights that will always remain dear to our memories are the Christmas Party, Junior-Senior Dance and Banquet, Junior-Senior Picnic, trip to Washington, a public performance, and the Senior Play. These events and the many others which occur during the year are helping to make this an unusually interesting year. As representatives to the Student Council, we have chosen June Simmons, Nancy Campbell, Tommy Burford, and Joyce Bryant. Our class is proud of the fine way in which they are representing us on the Council. Throughout our High School career we have kept the same motto and have tried to abide by it in all our undertakings. This motto is Learn as if you would live forever, live as if you would die tomorrow.” As our colors for the year, we have blue and white and the white rose as our flower.

In the beginning, we were conscientious in knowing we had much to do to gain recognition as seniors. To lead us we chose Shirley Coleman, president; Roy Eggleston, vice president; Nancy Campbell, secretary and treasurer, and Lester Harris as our class representative. We had as our sponsors, Mrs. Lucille Arthur, Mrs. Kate McDermott, and Mrs. Nellie Powell, who inspired us to move forward. This year we chose as our motto, Learn as if you would live forever; live as if you would die tomorrow,” which we used throughout the entire high school career to guide us. In our second step, we had more confidence in ourselves as we had more experience and inspiration given to us by our new sponsors, Mrs. Edythe Fraley and Mrs. Fay East. We changed officers, electing Tommy Burford, president; Shirley Coleman, vice-president; Mary Baughman, secretary; and Barbara Wiley and Alvin Burch as class representatives. Although we lost thirty-six class members, we did not lose our confidence. This year, we became affiliated with some of the clubs and attended the annual picnic for sophomores. Our third step was gained with great enthusiasm and interest since we had much to look forward to in coming closer to our senior year. All who were successful were awarded class rings. The Junior-Senior Banquet and also the Picnic was one great event in this momentous year. In this step we had the chance to become affiliated with many new clubs. The class met and elected as their leaders for this year, Lawrence Cooper, president; James Steuart, vice-president; secretary, Joyce Bryant; and treasurer, Geraldine Brown. We elected James Story, Richard Blount, and Janice Dinkins as class representatives. The wise counseling and enthusiasm of Miss Virginia McPherson and Miss Winnie Bush strengthened our interest and encouraged us to move onward. Finally, in September of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-one we reached our chosen goal, The Best Year Yet.” It was the best year yet, too, for it was filled with interest and thrills for each senior. The Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance was enjoyed by both seniors and juniors. Our able and competent leaders were Miss Virginia Mitchell and Miss Virginia McPherson whose excellent guidance and outstanding ability led us in our best year. Lawrence Cooper was elected president for the second consecutive year; James Story, vice-president; Joyce Bryant, secretary; and Geraldine Brown, treasurer. June Simmons, Nancy Campbell, Joyce Bryant, and Tommy Burford were elected as class representatives.

THE CLASS OF 1953 President Vice-President Secretary T reasnrer Montie Kidd George Dawson Marie Camdf.n Bitty Egci.f.ston The Junior Class of 1952 entered the new year eagerly, looking forward to the many events that take place. We met on September 18 and elected the following officers: Montic Kidd, President; George Dawson, Vice-President; Mari; Camden, Secretary, and Betty Gail Eggleston, Treasurer. Others elected were Richard Cash, Dons Patterson, and Audrey Goff to serve on the Student Council, and Malcolm Dews as Class Reporter. After much thought, we selected After the battle, the reward” as our motto, red and white as our colors, and the red rose as our class flower. On January 3, we had a New Year’s party in the Library. There were games and refreshments, and everyone enjoyed himself. In the spring, we had the thrill of receiving our rings. The next big event was the Junior-Senior Banquet, and the dance afterwards. In June, we forgot our studies and pushed off for a day of fun at Holiday Lake on the Junior-Senior Picnic. Now, this year is coming to a close, and we are looking forward to the next one with anxious hearts and a brighter outlook on life. In closing our year as Juniors, we want to wish good luck to all those who come after us and to express congratulations to those who have gone before. 42 JUNIOR CLASS Don Adams Phyllis Arthur J. T.

We are deeply grateful to our three Sophomore leaders, who are Mrs. Fay East, Mrs. Edythe Fraley, and Mrs. Joan Glenn, who have taken much interest in our educational welfare. We held a meeting at the beginning of our school year for the purpose of electing officers. Those elected were Winifred Bryant, President; Jack Pettyjohn, Vice-President; Patsy Bryant, Secretary and Treasurer, and James Morcom, Class Representative to the Student Council. Another meeting was held for the purpose of selecting our flowers, colors, and motto.

We are not to be judged by the past years, but by the years to come, and we know that, if it is humanly possible, the 1951-52 Freshman Class of Madison Heights High School will leave such an excellent record of scholarship that it will be the envy of all future classes. Our motto is one that ever keeps us looking forward and never satisfies except with the best. It is: Not at the top, but still climbing.” We have Richard Berger as our representative to the Student Council, and have chosen pink and white as our Class colors, and the pink rose as our Class flower. Fortunately, we have as our sponsors, Mrs. Kate McDermott, Mrs. Lucille Arthur, and Mrs. Nellie Powell, who from past experience have shown their ability to guide wayward Freshmen along the pathway that leads to success. We will appreciate them more and more, and realize their ultimate worth, as the years go by. 49 FRESHMAN CLASS Phyllis Abbitt Raymond Adams James Adcock Helen Anderson Cecil Banton Mildred Beard Richard Berger Betty Brown Leo Bryant Raleigh Campbell Herman Carson Sandra Carter Ellen Cash Marie Chumbley Joanne Clements Gay Coffey Charles Colinger Audrey Connelly Violet Creasy Ethel Davis Donald Dodgion Jimmy Drumhcllcr Jimmy Duiguid Anita Ewers Lin wood Ewers W'indol Ewers Franklin Parish Faul Fitzgerald Barbara Floyd James Floyd Leroy Floyd Nancy Ford Jean Franklin Wil iam Franklin Doris Freeman xNancy Friend (Not pictured) Paul Evans 50 FRESHMAN CLASS Thurman Fulcher Jimmy Goflf Flcanor Gottschall Ida Gwyn Graybeal L.loyd Gunter Donald Mes'-on Carl Higginbotham F.trulia Hostetler Freddie Hubbard Doris Hudson Homer Hudson Preston Hudson Thomas Hudson William Hudson Janice Hughes Fdna Jackson Mary Alice Jennings Buddy Johnson Carol Johnson Eva Keller June Kidd Charles Lawhornc Joyce Layne Ernest Lee Fay Lee Patsy Lee Gloria Lewis Fay Lipscomb Patricia MeGann Arlene Maddox Cccile Mawyer Bobby Mayberry Charles Maynard Buddy Melton W verly Mills Lee Milton 51 FRESHMAN CLASS Roy Morcom Shirley Morcom Joe Moss Joanne Nucklcs Barbara Ogden Billy Ogden Joyce Owen Mildred Pentecost Kathleen Proffitt Billy Purvis John Ragland Katherine Ramsey Peyton Richardson Clyde Rucker Preston Scott Donald Sirocco John Lee Smith Mary Anne Staton Barbara Stinson Wyatt Stinson Ronnie Stowe Jerry Tomlin Shirley Tomlin Helen Tyree Ralph Viar Phillip Walton Barbara Ware Ella Mae Ware Cecil Watts Dean White Joyce White Allan Whitmore Charles Wills Aubrey Wooldridge Raleigh Wright 52 Margaret Franklin Editor-in-Chicf The 1952 Business Managers Feature Editors ...............

The Monelison is financed by the sale of advertisements and pictures, and the sale of The Monelison itself to the students. The first step in getting up our Monelison was the soliciting of advertisements by the Seniors on the staff. Next, the individual and group pictures were taken. Throughout the year the photography editors were taking the snapshots that were to make The Monelison so interesting to everyone, and to recall across the years the happy events and activities of high school days. A cover was designed, and write-ups and membership lists to accompany the pictures were written up. After ceaseless work by the staff, the dummy was finally composed and sent to the printer. The galley proof was approved by the editors and returned to the printer for the final printing. We arc all very proud of The 1952 Monelison, which, we are sure all will agree, lives up to our theme: The Best Year Yet.” Business Managers Geraldine Brown June Simmons Photography Editors Peggy Taylor Ollie Stowe Sponsors Miss Mitchell Miss McPherson Miss Bush 55 STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is composed of eleven students who work with the Principal to promote and encourage high standards of conduct among the students.

The Latin Club alternates with the Spanish Club in the planning of the programs, due to the many extra-curricular activities. The Club is affiliated with the National Junior Classical League, which sponsors the Latin Tournament held at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College. This gives worthwhile opportunities to Latin students.

The new members were welcomed by the whole Y-Teen Club which had a most impressive recognition service. Most of the programs that were planned for this year were done with the hope that the members of the Y-Tecns would become better acquainted with Lynchburg, Virginia. For one of the club projects, we collected canned foods and gifts to be distributed among the needy people of Amherst County. As in previous years the Y-Tccns have tried to keep in mind the purpose of the Y.W.C.A.: To build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common lives those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians. In this endeavor we seek to understand Jesus, to share His love for all people, and grow in the knowledge and love of God.’ The sponsors of the Y-Teens are Miss Winnie Bush and Mrs. Joan Glenn.

Membership in the Club requires that a high average has been made on the previous years’ work. Students maintain active membership through the Freshman and Sophomore years of High School and arc carried on the roll as inactive members throughout their High School careers. The Club’s outstanding project for this year is collecting and arranging information on the history of Amherst County. OFFICERS President .............. Vice-President .........

The Club is composed of girls who are taking or have taken a course in Home Economics. Last June we sent a delegate, Carolyn Horsley, to the F. H. A. Rally which was held at Madison College. We have a number of activities planned for this year, among which arc: an open house for mothers, an open house for the faculty, and a program on W L V A Farm Show in the Spring. We also plan to participate in local, state, and national activities. We hope to accomplish much in making this The Best Year Yet.” Members Betty Ayers Marie Chumbley Carolyn Horsley Dolores Maze Betty Shrader Phyllis Arthur Janet Craven Judith Horsley Lila Lee McBride Peggy Shrader Betty Amiss Betty Crews Betty Hostcttcr Annabcllc Moore Joyce Stcuart Dorothy Blanks Shirley Curd Joan Hunt Nancy Ncblctt Betty Stinnette Doris Blunkc Joanne Dameron Lois Hubbard Phyllis Norbcrg Connie Stinnette Marie Blunkc Bessie Davis Lorcnc Hudson Marie Nucklcs Donna Jean Thacker Doris Brown Evelyn Davis Lydia Hudson Joan Nuckols Christine Thornton Jean Bryant Dorothy Doss Cecil Humphreys Shirley Nuckols Lois Tomlin Jean Burch Ethel Parish Doris Jennings Barbara Oliver Nellie Turner Emily Burford Frances Floyd Nancy Johnson Frances Oliver Joyce Tyrec Rosalie Burford Shelby Floyd Copely Jones Virginia Padgett Jewel Vest Myrtle Campbell Shirley Floyd Barbara Keller Hazel Patterson Mildred White Mary Ellen Camper Shirley Freeman Mary Lou Kidd Shirley Ragland Barbara Wiley Florence Foster Betty Garrett Peggy Looney Shirley Riley Nancy Wills Dorothy Carson Lucy Gottschall Ha cl Maddox Ann Rosser Lynwood Wright Geraldine Cash Marjorie Hart less Amy Martin Loretta Sanders OFFICERS President Lila Lee McBride Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Connie Stinnette Barbara Wiley Bessie Davis Reporter Cecil Humphries 68 A T H L E T I C BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM After getting off to a great start with three straight wins over R.

Although the record does not indicate a very successful campaign, much has been gained in the way of experience for the players of the future.

This, his second and last year, will long be remembered by all the team, as well as by the entire student body. Best of luck to you, Jimmie. Lawrence Cooper—Guard—Not unlike Jimmie, Lawrence shared guard spot on the team. He is a veteran of three years, and he was described by the coach as little but loud.” However, he did much to keep the team’s score from being little.” We are going to miss you, Lawrence Charles Newcomb—Forward—Pete, a hardworking and dependable forward, encouraged the team in many of the games. He is a senior and is closing out his high school career this season. Linwood Campbell—Forward—After acquiring his experience and a berth on the first five, Linwood has helped the team a lot, and much is expected of him next year. Dewey McIvor—Center—By faithful hard work under the guidance of Mr. Tanner, Dewey has developed into a top pivot and rebound man. He will be back next year to carry on his good work. George Dawson—Forward—George, the No. 1 reserve on the team, saw much action and improved steadily as the season went on. He’ll be back next year. Preston Floyd—Forward—Preston, up from the under squad, improved steadily and will see much action in the future. Gene Allen—Center—Gene is a good man to have around, and he figures greatly in Mr. Tanner’s plans for the future. Malcomb Dews—Forward— Mack”, a scrappy and faithful forward, has one more year to go, and much is expected of him next year. Jug” Bryant—Guard— Jug” has come along fast since the start of the season, and his ball handling ability will mean much to the team in the future. Co-Captains Jimmie Steuart Lawrence Cooper GIRL'S BASKETBALL TEAM When our first practice started on November 6, 1951, only sixteen girls showed up, each hoping to make the team. Among them there was plenty of school spirit, and the will to work and to try to make a winning team. In doing this, and as far as teamwork, spirit, and sportsmanship were concerned, this was The Best Year Yet” at Madison Heights. This year has been unforgettable. We were greatly pleased to see how the team was supported by our fellow students and by our faculty. This boosted our morale and helped us to fight harder. We won four games, lost five, and tied two. The spirit of our Coach, Lillian Shancr, who volunteered to help us and who took much interest in our team, gave us the will to fight even when things looked bad for us. We are proud of our 1951-52 team. We wish Mary Lou, Tillie, and Nancy, a successful future. R. E.

She played guard her first three years and changed to forward her senior year. When she was in the game, we always felt a little surer of ourselves. Her height and fight to win will be remembered by all of us. Wanda Moss—Wanda has played on the basketball team for two years. Her spirit and will to win have been an advantage to the team. She always played hard and gave her best. She will be missed by everyone. Peggy Taylor—Peggy, another of our Cocaptains, has been a member of the basketball team for two years. She is small, but a fast and lively player. Her teamwork and ability to get our rebounds have been a great advantage to us. She will be missed by all of us. Pauline Wilkerson—Polly, in finishing at Madison Heights, has only played two years, but has given a good account of herself. Her height has been an advantage to the team, and she will be hard to replace. Mary Lou Phillips—Mary Lou has been on the squad for two years. She is short, but a quick and hard working player. She will be missed by everyone. Tillie Terry—Tillie has been on the basketball team for two years. Her support and interest in the team have helped a great deal. Although she was a late starter, she has improved a lot. Nancy Cash—This is Nancy’s first year on the squad. Although she was a beginner, she gave her team moral support and played her best always. Marie Wood—Marie is another late starter in basketball. Although this is her first year, she has proved to be a good player. She will be a promising player for the team next year. Shelby Floyd—Shelby has been on the team for two years. She is a hard worker that gave a lot and took nothing. She has two more years to play and will be welcomed back by everyone. She will be one of our future stars on the team. Phyllis Arthur—This is Phyllis’ third year on the squad. She is tall, fast, and a jolly teammate. She always fights hard and gives her best. She will be welcomed back with us next year. Gail Bolick—Gail is a newcomer to our school. This is her first year on the team. She has shown lots of fight and teamwork. We hope she will be back with us next year. Loretta Sanders—This is Loretta’s first year on the team. She has followed the team and shown a lot of interest. She is one of our future players. Patsy Lee—This is Patsy’s first year on the squad. She has shown a lot of fight and will to learn. She is a promising future player, and much is expected of her. She will be welcomed back next year. Betty Jo Amiss—Betty Jo is another newcomer to the squad. She has shown much interest in the team, and will be a promising player in the future. Betty Gail Eggleston—This is Betty’s first year on the team. With a little more experience, she will be one of our most promising players in the future. 73 Co-Captains Jean Shaner Peggy Taylor CHEERLEADERS The Cheerleaders play a wonderful part. To help our team when down at heart. During a game when spirits are low, They’re ready to give a cheer or so. They’re what the team needs day by day, For someone to chase the gloom away. They’re happy and gay and full of fun, Seeing that each game is surely won. Think of these girls as very true, Helping and serving the Gold and Blue. These cheerful souls we shan’t forget, —They helped to make this The Best Year Yet.” 74 BASEBALL TEAM Due to the early publication dead-line of our annual, it is impossible to announce any definite facts about our team or its record. Although the team of 1950-51 has a fine record, we are hoping to achieve an even better one this year. This year’s team, with few returning starters from last year, is depending strongly on Captain Jimmie Steuart, Littleberry Hicks, Lawrence Cooper, George Farish, Earl Clarkson, Dewey Ripley, and Herbert Carson. Our team will be strengthened by Alvin Burch, who has two year’s experience on the team, and is returning to us from the United States Marine Corps. With Mr. Richard Tanner as Coach, we are sure that this year’s baseball team will find this to be The Best Year Yet.” 75 SCHOOL CALENDAR September 7 School session opens 16 Executives Meeting of the Science Club 27 Philosophy and Objectives of the School,” discussed by Student Council 28 Informal Dance—A huge success October 9 History Club Initiation 12 Science Club Initiation 17 Amherst County Fair—No school 22 Beta Club Installed New Members 22 J.

To obtain these, the advertising managers chose sides and competed one against the other, thus creating much enthusiasm and stimulating ardent effort. We arc especially proud of the fact that this year’s solicitors obtained more advertisements than any other class in the history of Madison Heights High School. The total amount raised was $1400.00. We are very grateful to Mr. Fulcher and the members of the Faculty for their fine co-operation in permitting the members of the staff to be dismissed from classes to solicit advertisements. We would also like to express our deepest appreciation to various members of the class who co-operated with the staff in getting advertisements. We wish to thank the many advertisers who so thoughtfully gave of their time and money. We had innumerable pleasant experiences while collecting advertisements. We promised many things to the advertisers, including an invitation to the Junior-Senior Picnic in the spring. We had loads of fun and were very successful in soliciting our advertisements, and we would like to wish the future solicitors of the Monelison Staff all the luck, fun, and success we had in this year.
