If, in later years, wh ' Mi yonr memories of high school days have faded and this “Semi)er” helps yon to relive the days at .Midway, then the joy will I e curs. i ALDERMAN LIBRARY-EXTENSION SERVICE station Charlottesville, Va, •lijiLr- AOTOyWiGW!- lomvA Dedicated To our Priiu ' ipal, whose friendliness, o-iiidanee and personal interest have inspii ' ed us to further our knowledge of worthwhile things. We. the Senior Class of nineteen thirty-nine dedicate this, our first annual. e COAT-OF-ARMS ErndiHo esf viia Lenniino- is Ijife On our ( ' oat-of-aniis we find this inspiring ' motto. It has Veen onr aim and great jileasni ' e to make life worthwliile hy learning. Although we have only l)egnn this life of learning, we hope that we will tind this statement true; may each student at IMidway go forth striving to do his best with this in mind. Besides this motto we have on oui ' eoat-of-arms an oak leaf whieh stands for strength; a cross, whieh signifies gnidanee; a helmet, whieh signifies spirit; a sword, whieh stands for hraveiw and finally the color l)lne which, as we all know, stands for truth. As an oak grows, so we grow from small, insignificant children to hoys and girls and then to men and women who shoidd he strong and shoidd influence tliose who are younger and weaker. Let ns follow the way of the cross — that symbol which reminds us of the sacrifice which was made to save ns. The cross shoidd he a guiding light. The spirit — the I ' ight kind of a s] ii ' it toward evei ' yone and everything is what our helmet stands for. Let ns strive to seek, and find this spirit. Are we brave? If not, let ns ever keep a watch on our sword which will remind ns to face our fellowmen with courage and not to give up because we can’t do as well as someone else but to keep trying. Are you tn;e soldiers? Are yon true to yourself and to others? The blue on onr coat-of-arms should he an ins])iration to ns all. Ask yourself the (piestion, “Am I tile kind of person I’d like to he?’’ Then answer truthfully. Are yon? i Iay this IMidway Iligli School coat-of-arms lie the ever lirig ' htly shining, guiding light to the .students at Midway now and those who come after us, as it has been to the Senior (’lass of l!kl!). — M. rv THE STAFF Viiu’tte Wheeler Xaiieye Allen Laurie Browder Beatriee Bennett Joseph Mach Virginia Eainey Beulah Spain Dudley Allen Randolph Leonard Mildred Browder ViNETTE ' Wheeler Xancye Allen L.V t RIE ] rowder ] Beatrice Hennett Joseph JIach . .

CLASS HISTORY rany picture t exist in the gallery of memories of the class of 1939. Of these let us select the most interesting. Do we rememher when we |)osed for that first one? AVas it in 1921 or 1922 that with tlie aid of the proverbial stork and the Oods of Fate we were horn into a world that was now on the road to a speedy recovery from the war of a few yeai ' s earlier ? AVe began our school-life in September of 1928, when, tightly clutching our mother’s hand, we entered grammar school, eager to explore the mysteries of Reading, ’Kitin’ and ’Kithmetic ' whicli open for us the doors to the portals � f knowledge. Those first days were interesting because Aliss Raker, our teacher, found a new story for us each day. Among these wei ' e “The Three Bears,’’ “Little Red Riding Hood’’ and others, but tlie story telling soon became a thing of the past and we settled down to work. Time slipped by (piite rapidly. The spelling of the tlays of the week, how to tell time, and many other im])ortaut facts were learned in the second grade with Aliss Ilawkes as instructress. The thiial grade ' ajid Aliss Clarke presented to us that terrible punishment — examinations. CLASS HISTORY [continued] 1!);51 and witli it the 4th � rad(‘. AVe were really learning ' tilings — so we thonght. Aliss Xnnnally must have had (|uite a woiulei’ful ])atienee to have endured ns. Fifth o-rade and whom did we tind as oni‘ teacher? None othei ' than Aliss Alaloiu ' . That history, “What the Old World (i;iv( the New” was (inite a pain. Thanks to some one, oni ' fifth gi ' ade fricnuls don’t have to exist throno ' h that m� w. Oh! we Avei ' ( ' � ’radually “rowinii ' older and we were in the sixth orade. All of ns were (|uite fond of Alis Watkins, hut, it was usual thing ' , day in and day out — Arithmetie, Spelling, History, Knglish and tiioe to go honu ' . AVe liv(“d through it, hut don ' t ask ns how. We wen quite happy indeed ! AVe wei ' e going to study civics, and what did that im ' an? Why, we were in the sevcmth grade and “yon must take last term examinations whethei’ yon have an avcu ' ag ' e of !H) or not.” And then that night we received oni ' diplomas that gave ns that long worked for right to go to high school. Miss Winn was i-ather glad to get rid of ns, we guess. Freshmen! A’es, we w( re Freshmen. ( ii eeidmnis ? Well, mayhe so! Ifiit after all we tliink that heing a freshman was not so very had. The worst thing was learning which class was in which room, hut aftei ' a few days we had all that straight. Aliss Fraser’s hel|)ing hand guided ns straight thi ' ongh. As so])homores we regained a little of onr self-confidence and began to hcdieve we I ' eally weren’t so gi ' cen aftei ' all. There will always exist in onr memory that baseball game between AlcKenney and .Midway at Alidway and those cheer-leaders we had. Later, they played at Lee Park in Petersburg; and Alidway came out victorious. Time jiassed on and we wm ' o looking foiwvard to our third yi ar of high school. .Inniors! AVe could hardly believe it! It was onr duty and |)leasnre (as is usually the custom) to entertain the seniors. AVe all had a grand time attending the movie at the (’( ' iitury theativ and the .social hour at Peck’s Peach. Kememher those cakes, candles, and gifts? How could we forget? Time mai ' ched on ; we found ourselves looking to the future, a hit more sophis- ticated, dignified, and serious than we had ever been before. Seniors! At last! Success! Achiiwement ! What we had hoped, dreamed, and woi ' ked for. A es, we had ur struggles — they all do. What kind of invita- tions w(‘ wanted, what we were going to wear, and many otlnu ' ini|)ortant things had to he decideil. Put, were they im])ortant ? We thought so, anyway. Don’t forget, fhongh, we had onr fun too. 4’hose football games at Plackstone and .Appomattox will never he forgotten, neither will that day that we posed for onr pictures to Ik put in the annual. Ves, this is oni ' last memory of high school ami with it comes that old saying that should he rememhei ' ed by all of ns, “Of a good heginning cometh a good end.” Sni ' cly this is triuv AVe go forth with many true and loyal friends. AA’e are not frightened. AA’e will he as courageous as we ' have always been. AA’e will keep a broad outlook on life and oni- deep ap| reciation of high ideals and rememhei ' that graduation is oidy tlu ' heginning of pi ' cparatioji for a new, I ' icher and fnlh ' r life. — Ahvin ' AATi.u. .ms.

It has continued, despite a multitude of iijis and downs, to apjiear weekly, and to hold to its modest rate of two cents per cojiy. It is felt that the Midneirs, with all its faults, lias done much to build up a strouo ' cr school spirit anion the pupils, and to help the community to understand better what the school is attempting’ to do. i Iay it continue next year, with the improvements which its staff should he able to make, in the light of their jia.st exjn ' rieiice. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The Tigerettes enthusiastically answered the call to baskethall and opened their season with a crushing 36-16 victory over Amelia. The j)asswork, shooting and guarding — in fact, the general s] irit of the team in this first game, marked them as a pos.sihle contender for the county championship. The team was sue- ce.s.sful until the Tigerettes met the fast charging Diuwiddie team, last year’s champions, and went down after leading for three (piarters, by a 41-34 score. The Tigerettes reached their hig ' he.st peak of the season when they defeated the strong Blackstone team by a 21-13 score. The most exciting game of the season was played on the home court when the game between IMidway and IMcKenney ended in a deadlock with a 17-17 score. The Tigerettes will present another strong combination next year, though the I laces left by the loss of Captain Allen, Spain, Watkins, Williams and Lewis will he hard to 611. 1938-19.39 BASKPITHALL SCORES Oct. 12 — ] lid way 36 Amelia . . , . , 16 Oct. 14 — Midway 34 Dinwiddie . . 41 Oct. 18 — IMidway 48 Darvills . 19 Oct. 27 — Midway 20 Blackstone . . 13 Xov. 4 — Midway 14 Dinwiddie . 21 Xov. 8 — IMidway 22 Amelia 14 Xov. 1 1 — Midway 38 Darvills .... 6 Xov. 15 — IMidway 9 Cai son 8 Xov. 18 — IMidway 17 IMcKenney 17 Xov. 22 — IMidway 26 Carson 15 BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The ] Iithv!iy Tig:ers, under the direction of their new coach, Edward Kell, oi)cned their season with a crushing’ 24-2 victory over Amelia High School.
