From Maury I went to the Naval Acad- emy and graduated in 1937. In spite of my abominable arithmetic, I completed courses in engineering and navigation, the less said about my marks in military aptitude the better. Later, I resumed my duties as an officer aboard a blimp where I had the extremely difficult job of chas- ing submarines. After my release from the service, I attended Princeton and the Naval Post Graduate School. Present duties are as director, Analytical and Computer Department, Naval Air Development Center, Johnsville, Pennsyl- W.I-H61-N Walter Keene vania. ' fi '.fs Q, 1. After graduating from Maury, I received my college s f education at the State Teachers' College in Fredricks- burg or Mary Washington, as it is now known. At my graduation I became the proud possessor of a diploma entitling me to the position of a business edu- cation instructor. I started my career as a teacher in my fair Alma Mater, Maury High, where I taught until 1939. Later that same year I became an instructor at Granby and remained there until 1946. I also taught summer school for several years at Maury and the Division of William and Mary, respectively. The balance of my vocational experience includes work at the Housing Authority, the Maintenance Office and Office of Baird, White, and Lanning. In 1946 I gave up my work to become the wife of Clarence Darrell Spencer, a chief electrician in the U. S. Navy. I am now a happily married old lady with two fine sons, David George, who is five, and Stanley Clay, Frances Sherman Spencer who is three. Sw,

1 it pretty. says Mr. Will. COMMOD0ltE liven before the '52 COMMODORE had been issued to eager seniors, the '53 book was a buzzing hive ol' ideas in the minds ol our editors and staff. With l.eah Waillgel' and lVlorty Zedd as editors, Wl rs. Beeker and Vlrs. Casteen as ad- visors, and Patsy Proton and Eddie Eleetron as honorary stall members, our yearbook began to emerge from the mazes of mental meditations into the reality of existenee. Contrary to popular opinion, the members ol the stall' do not wait until fall to begin work. wlhile others were earessing the eool waves, we were pounding the hot pavements, lining up the advertisements that will mean blaek ink on the eredit side of the business ledger. Whilti others were planning beaeh parties, we were dreaming up possible ideas to put in the annual. 'l'hus, with the opening ol' selmol, we were already hard at work on the year-long job that lay ahead. ln Uetober a trip to New York to Columbia Seholastie l'ress Assoeiation meant additional ideas for the seven staff members and Mrs. Beeker, who returned, from the trip with a first plaee rating for the '52 COMMODORE, a goal to strive for in our own work for the year. Speeial thanks go to Patsy Hebert for her sketches in the Senior Seetion, to Mary C. Nolley for Patsy Proton and Eddie lileetron on the TV Screen, and Betty l.ou Sutherland for incidental sketches. And so here it isfyour '53 COMMODORE. We have enjoyed working on it, seeing it emerge from ideas to reality. We sineerely hope you will like it. That is the greatest reward we fur- Co0d gracious is that 4me?,, ask Gail Morgan, Betty Johnson, Mary Nolley, and Naney Crifhn as they sort out p ietures for the yearbook. eould get from our hours of work.
