WALKER LINE PAVES WAY 1945 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR WIN OVER ARMSTRONG SCORE 20-0 A An alert VValker line, aided by costly fumbles in the Armstrong backlield, paved the way to a 20-0 win for the Maggie L. Walker Green Dragons over Armstrong High before 13,000 frenzied fans at the City Stadium Saturday, November 25. The game marked the seventh annual battle for the Richmond City Championship and the third for the O. P. ,Chiles trophy. This win gives WValker two legs on the trophy to AT1l1St1'Ol1g,S one. A second trophy was awarded the winners by the Men's Club of St. Philip P. E. Church, A. M. Barcroft, President Robert P. Archer, Secretary. Four minutes after the opening kick-off Henry Wiggins, an Armstrong back fumbled a Walker punt, which was recovered by- Willie Benjamin for WValker. A 15 yard oil: tackle run by Raymond Ross carried to the Armstrong 3-yard line, from which Perry Briggs carried over for the score three plays later. A pass, Whit Graves to O. C. Martin added the extra point and Walker led 7-0. Again in the first quarter Walker power exhibited itself in a sustained drive of 40 yards with Raymond Ross- scoring from the 5. Graves' pass to Martin was not good and the Green Dragons were on the long end of a 13-0 score. Perry Briggs, wose line smashes were the high lights of the game added VValker's final six-pointer in the fourth quarter to end another drive of. 40 yards. After Irvin Swinsoa recovered Tom Barrett's fumble on the Wildcats' 40. Whit Graves added the extra point from placement to make the final score 20.0.

We are gathered here, maybe for the last time to say a sad but hearty farewell to all of you. Most of us are glad that we have reached our goal, but we are equally sorry that we must leave the school that We have learned to love, say farewell to our be- loved principals, Mr. E. Segear and Mrs. Ora Newman, who have worked so hard to make and keep this school one of the 'best schools in the United States. We have to say farewell to our teachers but we can't thank them enough for the ways they have helped us in reaching our goal. The class of '45 sends a farewell to the stu- dent body, and to the students who are going to follow us shortly we say, strive to make the best of everything that crosses your paths. Some of the graduating students will seek a higher education while others will let their vocational training received here be the only means of earning a living, while others will be called in to tl1G,A1'1HCd Forces to Hght for their country in order to preserve the Four Freedoms. Once again we have to say farewell to you but we will never forget you. Later we will appreciate the scoldings we received from our principals and teachers. There is a quota- tion which says: Spare the rod and spoil the childf, Our parents didn't hesitate to use the rod in order not to spoil the child. We thank our parents for everything they did in order that we are now able to graduate with the rest of our class. We will never forget them. We in this class will not seek the same thing in the years to come, but I hope that each member will not lose track of the rest of our classmates. li LUCILLE BUTLER ,iii
