VIRGINIA VOLUME I nininninnninniiiinnniuinn mini I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Ill nun GREETINGS Jr has been our aim to give to each of yo:i something valuable in this, your “Warwick”. If this volume of the “Warwick” gives a true picture of the life at Morrison High School ; if it will later in life’s battle carry you back to some joyous occasion ; if in the distant future this may help to bridge the chasm between the years and to brighten the memories of happy days spent at M. H. S. and of the many friends made while there , the result of our efforts will not have been in vain. Our one desire is that we may keep alive our love for each other and for our dear old Alma Mater. MORRISON HIGH SCHOOL ROBERT HINTON PRIDE PRINCIPAL As a tribute to his untiring sympathies atih his netier ceasing millingness to co-operate, me, the students of the iHorrison tfiigh School iu ' hicate our first no I nine of the “Warmick” to JUihert lliinton Prihe |)rindpal Principal ' s zJlfCessage To the Graduating Class: J¥any centuries ago, in the days when Rome was spreading her dominion over a large part of the then known world, there lived a poet whose genius has gained for him in the passing years the name of one of the most gifted writers of Latin literature. Vergil is known as the author of many lines that shall live as long as the world shall last. And probably the most famous of these is the one containing the memorable words describing that quality which is the most important factor in the attainment of success. To you of the graduating class, I want simply to say, as did the Roman poet: You can if only you will believe yourself capable. In whatever walks your future life may lie — in college or in the world at large — remember that you can do anything you like with your life and with outside influences if you have the faith to be- lieve that it is possible and the earnestness of purpose to carry it through. “They can because they think they can” — and so may you also. There is very little that is impossible in this life of ours to the one who steadfastly attempts to do that which lies within his power. Just as the racers on the sea were spurred on to vic- tory by the spirit which recognized only success, so will you attain success in proportion as you refuse to admit defeat. I wish to convey to you my earnest hope for a future in which you will know only the contentment which comes from achievement; and this, I feel, is assured if you will accept as a guide these words of a famous Roman: I’ossunt quia posse videntur.

Oh, Morrison , our High School dear Our High School best sing %ve , — In Warwick County there’s the place We always love to be — There with standards of the highest We’ll work with all our might And in praise of maroon and gold Shall her students all unite. Oh, hear us while we sing to xott Our Alma Mater dear; We love to praise thy high ideals Which we strive to meet each year, Your influence and your memories dear Will guide us day by day Will help us o’er the pathways steep And spur us on our way. CHORUS Dorothy L. Fangsi.ow. Page Fourteen Warwick CONSTANCE BUFORD ADAMS “Connie” “Light or dark or short or tall, She sets a spring ' to snare them all.” Literary Editor “The Warwick” ’23, ’24. Annual Play ’23. Scrap Bag. There is much to be said about “Connie”, our class coquette. “Connie” is indeed a coquette for she was not only voted the biggest flirt in our class but in the whole school as well. But shq has so many good qualities that we almost forget her incli- nations toward coquetry. We all know just what a good sport “Connie” is and that she is willing to always do her share in any undertaking that we may have. When Connie leaves us she will leave a place in our hearts that can never be filled, so here is luck to you old pal, may you never lose your attractive ways. LAWRENCE ELBERT BAINES “Baby” “True hearted, whole hearted, loyal and faithful.” President of Class ’23, ’24. Vice-President of Wilson Literary Society ’23, ’24. Business Manager of “The Warwick”. Letter Man ’23, ’24. Class Creed ’24. HI-Y Club ’24. We are told that the best of goods comes in the smallest packages, and we find this especially so in “Baby Lawrence”. He is so small that you can’t see much of him, but you can always hear him. We have found him to be fond of precious gems, es- pecially “Rubys”. Altho’ Lawrence is al- ways a good sport, he can be serious at the right time. We are very proud to have him in our class and we hope he may be as successful in later years as he has been in his high school days. Page Fifteen DOROTHY MAE CHURN “Dot” “She excels where others fail”. Corresponding Secretary of Class, ’23 ’24. Editor-in-chief of “The Warwick”, ’24. President of Poindexter Literary Society, ’23, ’24. President of Latin Club, ’23, ’24. President of French Club, ’23, ’24. Girls like Dorothy are hard to find. She is a hard worker as one can easily see by just glancing at her report card. What she says, she means, and you can depend on that. We hate to lose her and we know she will make a success in life just as she made in the classroom. Good luck, Dorothy! RUTH MAE HIGBIE “Shorty” “Deeds not words”. Class Will, ’24. Ruth is the quietest member of our class and we never know she’s there until we miss our vanity case and look around just in time to see Ruth combing her bobbed locks. However, she has enough good quali- ties to cover up this fault. Tho she does not talk as much as might be expected, what she says is well worth hearing. There is one noticeable thing about Ruth that one never fails to note and that is her ever ready giggle. We’re expecting great things of you, Ruth. So here’s the best of luck to you from your classmates of ’24. Page Sixteen The Warwick MONICA RUT H FARNHAM “Maggie” “Beauty rules all”. Secretary-Treasurer of Class, ’23, ’24. Assistant Business Manager of “The War- wick”, ’23, ’24. Secretary Poindexter Literary Society, ’23, ’24. Secretary Athletic Association, ’23, ’24. Class Prophet, ’24. Ruth has been the life of our class; she never lets conversation lag as she has that gift of talking that we all desire. She has worked when we had need for her and as for fun, she is always on the job. She was a very good prophet and whatever her path of life will be we are sure she will make good. How we all will miss her. ALTA HERMA CHILDRESS “He that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast”. Wilson Literary Society ’23, ’24. Kind, considerate and independent are three characteristics that are to be admired in any woman. Henna will make friends wher ever she goes. She will make a suc- cess in life because she does things well. A good student and a friend to everyone is Hernia, and we wish her the best of success in the future. Page Seventeen FRANK VERNON DAVIS “Jeff” “But genius must be born and never can be taught”. Frank is a true optimist — a true believer of the old saying, “Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone”. One accomplishment of Frank’s is his playing. Let his magic fingers touch the piano and the audience is lost to the world. Your pals at M. H. S. wish you great suc- cess, Frank. h§h SALLY BYRD MASSEY “Lady Lue” “A true friend is forever a friend”. Vice-President of Class, ’24. Historian, ’24. Hail to the typical senior! For “Lady Lue” is the one on whom we always rely when anything is to be done. And is she in for fun? We’ll say she is. Wherever you see her she always has the same sweet smile. We can’t begin to realize that soon we will be without her and her smile. But here is good luck to you, old pal, wherever you go we know your smile and pleasing disposition will get you whatever you de- sire. LAWRENCE LEHMANN “Duke” “The blush is beautiful but it is some- times inconvenient”. Captain Basketball, ’24. Football, ’23. Associate Editor of “The Warwick”, ’24. Annual Play, ’23. Class Poet, ’24. President HI-Y Club, ’24. Monogram Club, ’24. Baseball, ’24. Track, ’24. Lawrence is a new addition to our class, coming from Illinois, but he has made him- self popular in the little while he has been with us and we hate to have to part with him so soon. He has especially shown his ability in athletics and in many other school activities. We know he will make his mark in life. m§h JOHN GORDON HARRIS “Drace” “Wise to resolve and patient to per- form”. Captain Football Team, ’23. Pi-esident Athletic Association, ’23, ’24. Athletic Editor of “The Warwick”, ’24. HI-Y Club, ’24. Basketball, ’24. Monogram Club, ’23, ’24. When there’s something that must be done, and we know that it must be done well and quickly, who do we always think of? It seems to us that we always hear of John nominated if thei’e happens to be an election going on, or turned to if there is some task to perform. Who can say a reputation like this isn’t one to be proud of and one that we all envy? Page Nineteen The Warwick ci ass p oem Four loucj years we%e worked together; Four long years our minds have strained; Four long years to stop us, never, For there’s more that we’ll endure. We have started from the bottom, Step bp step this hill to climb. From the freshman to the sophomore , Till we’ve finally reached our prime W lien we, stand upon the summit To find the trail we’ll take from there. Is there more that can be learned f Is there more that we can do? Yes! there’s college like a forest Where only sure feet can get thru. There are learnings upon learnings, IT here the people come and go But Morrison was the beginning .hid it’s teachings now, we know. Now we stand upon the hilltops And we wave our fond good-bye; For it is our last remembrance Of the good old Morrison High. Lawrence Lehmann, Class Poet, ’24 Page Twenty The Warwick 66 Tlie James o o Far away to the westward JV here the mountains touch the sky, A tiny stream flows onward; Murmuring a song as it hastens by. Then leaving behind it, the Blue Ridge, A stream it ceases to be, Wider and still wider it grows As it hastens toward the sea. The James, the proud, historic Janies Flows onward to the sea; And those who stop to listen, May hear its song of glee. It sings of the old, wild days; Of the red man it sees no more — Then of the birthplace of our country Which was built upon its shore. Singing its song thru the ages, Of the days of long ago; Sparkling and dancing it dashes on To what end we do not know. Hark! to the song it is singing, The James great glories relates, And is singing in praise of Virginia, Virginia, the Mother of States. Dorothy L. Langslow. Page Twenty-one Cl ass Creed o o o As the time draws close, when we are about to enter life’s pathway; some for greater things than others, we, the class of June ’24, Morrison High School, do believe we will be able to stand the test because we have prepared ourselves for it in our dear Alma Mater. Because of his never ceasing efforts, his power to get the best out of every student, and his friendly disposition, we believe Mr. Pride, our principal, will never fail in his duty. We believe in our faculty for their never failing to help each and everyone of us. We believe in the athletics of our high school. We hope they will keep the same spirit and move on to the goal, to victory. We believe in our high school annual, “The Warwick”. This being the first year, we hope it will grow larger and better as time passes. We believe in all the rest of our school activities. They have just been or- ganized and we hope each organization will do its best. Our own state, Virginia, the best loved state of the Union, and our county, Warwick, from which the name of our annual was adopted we believe them to be the best, and hope for them to be even better. We believe in our class, aided by our motto, and recognized by our colors, to be able to drift smoothly on the stream to success. Lastly, we believe in our Creator, God, from whence everything was created. LAWRENCE E.

Now, glancing back, the precipice seems to have disappeared and the years seem but hours. As rats it took us quite a while to get accustomed to the dignities of high school life. This first year in our school career was marked by the winning of the State Championship by our splendid football team. The following September we returned to school assuming all of the high dignities of Sophomores. One big event in this semester was the parade given to arouse enthusiasm for the fine new high school that is nearing completion in Newport News. The next fall we went back to school feeling very important, for we were Juniors that year. The Safety Patrol was first introduced into our school that year and we found it to be a great help in keeping discipline. During that year we also gave the Seniors a dance, which proved to be a big success. About the end of this semester we got our class rings of which we were very proud. At the end cf our Junior year we were told that there would be a high school at Morrison the following year. So, although we disliked to leave our many friends in Newport News, we were very proud of the fact that at last we would have a high school of our own. We think that after all, our Senior year has been the dearest to us all for we have been closer and warmer in our friendship in this year of development in Morrison High School. So much has been done during this term to make this a good and ac- credited school that the only thing we can add is for everyone to make an effort to make old Morrison the best high school in the state. In conclusion we wish to express our thanks and appreciation to our principal, Mr. Pride, and to the faculty for their suppoi’t and loyalty to our class. SALLIE MASSEY Class Historian, ’24 Page Twenty-five Class Propliecy Coming home tired and weary, after a hard days work at the office, I glanced around, as was my custom, to see if there was any mail for me. What was my sur- prise when I saw lying on the table a large bulky envelope with a foreign postmark! Opening the letter I read: Cairo, Egypt, June 1, 1935 Dear Ruth: As June comes ' round once more I can’t help but get home sick for the old U. S. A. and think about that June, eleven years ago, when we were graduating from High School. You’d never have thought then that your old friend Connie would leave that gay old country behind and come way over here as a missionary, but that’s ex- actly what I’ve been doing for the last six months. Coming over on the ship, when I thought I was leaving all my friends behind me, who should I see but our old classmate Dorothy Chum, who is the chief stewardess on a liner running ficnr New York to Faris. Dcrothy asked me if I was going to see Ruth Higbie while I was in Paris. It seems she is touring Europe just now as the star actress in a musical comedy. During my short stop in that city I attended a large reception given in honor of the Countess de Mandeville. Imagine how astonished I v as to find her none other than our dear old Sallie Massey. During the evening I had the pleasure of hearing- several selections by the noted pianist Frank Davis, who is second only to Paderewski. Among the distinguished guests I met the great novelist “Rcma Ress”, made famous by her latest book, “Men and Their Faults”. Did you ever think Hernia Childress would win so much fame ? By the way did you know John Harris is one of the best preachers we have down here ? I guess he was born to be a preacher. Please write and tell me how you like being a stenographer. You never used to think cf taking a business course. As ever your old friend, “Connie” Adams. Page Twenty-six Warwick After reading this letter, I thought of the rest of that good old class of ’24. The morning paper announced that Lawrence Lehmann held the title of being the World’s champion heavy-weight boxer. As for Lawrence Baines, I think he enjoys being manager of a large circus concern, as I saw a poster advertising an annual show of Baines Brothers Circus in this city next week. My memory goes back to the old high school days and especially the year of ’24. Little did we know then the place we would fill in life, as each one of us in our young fanciful minds had pictured a different course from the ones we have fol- lowed. But after all our one aim in life was to succeed and to be of some use to the world, and I feel that each of us is living a life of service to others. Ruth Farnham, Class Prophet, ’24.

Page Twenty-seven Class W ill o We, the class of June, 1924, do solemnly ask that you hear our last will and testament. It has been our desire to be fair in our gifts and we hope that they will be received in the same cheerful manner in which they are given. We wish to express our hearty appreciation to our Principal for his support both in our hardships and pleasures and leave our best wishes for his success in the future. We hope that the high school will progress in the years to come as it has in its first. To those remaining the class bequeaths the following qualities of its mem- bers: To Jean Brebner the vamping ways of Constance Adams. To any Latin student fortunate enough to make them the good Latin marks of Dorothy Churn. To Mahlon Brown the extra inches of Lawrence Baines. To Iris Robertson the dignity of Sallic Massey. To George Bergh the good disposition of John Harris. To Sarah Floyd the rosy cheeks of Ruth Farnham. To any aspiring young artist the ability in that line of Lawrence Lehmann. To Helen Hobbs the giggling of Henna Childress. To John Petty the studiousness of Frank Davis. Ruth Higbie, Class Will, ’24.

With this quotation in view Morrison High went into athletics and developed teams of unusual ability in football and basketball, with good prospects for baseball and track. Page Forty-one Warwick Officers GEORGE BERGH President BELUING UNDERWOOD - - - Vice-President GEORGE DAVIS ... Secretary-Treasurer Ale miners Lawrence Baines Mahlon Brown Shelby Curtis Charles Davis John Harris Paul Keenan Lawrence Lehmann Bruce Rollins George Thompson Leo Walsh MR. CALDWELL, Coach There are fifteen members, only those who have won letters under the old gold and maroon. The moral of this club is to keep up the physical standpoint in the way of athletics for Morrison High; besides having an all round good time. Page Forty-two The Warwick Football o o o Football season opened with a rush and all the possible football material turned out for the team. Mr. Caldwell, our coach, although working- with raw material turned out a team to be proud of, and one that had a very successful season. Every game played this season, whether lost or won was fought to the last moment and not a team that has met the Morrison eleven on the field is justified in saying that he doesn’t know he has been in a real football game. Page Forty-Three With the cooperation of the boys, Mr. Caldwell has developed a basketball team of great strength, a team that works well together with no thought of personal glory. For her first game Morrison challenged the St. Vincent Sunday School Team, a team of much experience and well proved ability. In this game the gold and maroon team learned a lesson 1 in defense that has stood her in good stead. In the next game the team showed this confidence in their ability and in the ability of their captain, Lehmann, at the close of the sensational game the score stood 10-9 favor of gold and maroon. The gold and maroon challenged for their next game, a team formed by the juniors athletic association of Fort Eustis. The game was hard fought and at the end the score steed 11 - 11. It was arranged for the teams to play an extra five minutes and the game closed with a score 13 - 12, again in favor of the gold and maroon. Page Forty-four Girls Basket tall Basketball to the girls of our school at the beginning of the season was just about as new as our school was. The handicap of a poor gym was another drawback but we feel very encouraged over our future prospects and the makings of a good team that has been displayed in the few games we have already had on our schedule for this season. But how could we have anything else but a good team when our girls have such a spirit that they’ll go out to practice in the hardest rain storm, and when we have Miss Dora Lee Gray as our coach? Even tho our team is new we hepe it will grow and improve each year. Through cur team we hope to encourage and promote girls’ athletics in our school and develop standards of fair play and good sportsmanship. Page Forty-five Trac k Track season has not yet opened but training has begun and when it opens Morrison’s team will be ready to get down to real work and win her share of the state honors. We intend to send a winning team to Richmond and place M. H. S. in the field of athletics. We have many good athletes here and a spirit to win. The Gold and Maroon will never fail. Page Forty-six The Warwick I ract ALMA PHILLIPS - - Manager MARY HOLLAND - - - - Captain The girls’ track team was organized early in the fall, but owing to the fact that the annual was published before the track season opened the good work our team expects to do, fails to be mentioned, but if there are any honors to be won in athletics, the Morrison High School girls will be right there. Page Forty-seven Morrison High School has nothing to fear in baseball. There are enough good baseball players here to form two teams of equal ability. Although this is Morrison’s first year, every boy who is going out for the team has had much previous experience. We hope for great things from our team and they are not the boys that will disappoint us. Page Forty-eight Warwick 1 Ki Rackety Bang! Meow, Meow Holy Casotsky Bow Wow Wow Bing! Bang! Sipoty Zaw — M.

With Caldwell (repeat) Tage Fifty o The sun had slowly disappeared below the horizon and the gathering dusk seemed to envelop me as 1 sat in my big arm chair watching the dying embers in the open fire slowly fade from sight. Pit-pat, pit-pat, came four little feet hurrying up the stairs. What joy that sound gave to me. To think that two dear children would rather spend a whole evening with an old woman like me than to do anything else in the wide world! The door was thrown open and in burst Janet and Robert, my two grand- children. “A penny for your thoughts, Grandma,” cried Robert, when he saw the thought- ful expression on my face. “Yes, granny dear, please do tell us of what you were dreaming about when we came in”, pleaded gentle little Janet, as she took the leather-bound book which I still held absently in my hand. “Why Grandma, you have been looking at this delightful book again,” ex- claims Janet. “Yes, dear,” I answered, “The Warwick brings back to me memories which make me feel young and carefree again as I did in the days years ago when I was a student of Morrison High School.” The two children gathered closer around my chair for they knew they were going to again hear the story of my school life at Morrison, a story of which they never tired. “Well, dears,” I began as I slowly turned the pages of ‘The Warwick’, “such a lovely fall day as this always reminds me of the day back there in ’24 when we played our first football game. The day before the game we practiced yells and songs until we were hoarse, but nevertheless we found that we had aroused the finest spirit that had ever been in a high school. We wore our colors, gold and maroon, of which we were justly proud”. “Now I know Granny”, interrupted Janet, “why you are so very fond of gold and maroon”. “You could hardly tell, dear”, I continued without noticing the interruption, “which were the prouder, the students of the school or the boys who wore the sweaters when at the close of the football season, the members of the team were given their letters. “Hardly before the excitement of the football season had vanished basket- ball had begun for both boys ant? girls. This season proved to be even more success- ful than the football season, and e’er the season was over the wonderful school spirit had again asserted itself”. Fage Fifty-one The Warwick As I sat listlessly turning the pages of “The Warwick” I recalled the work and time that had been put on it, in order to make it the success which it had been. “Grandma, why was it called ‘The Warwick’ anyway”, Robert inquired. “Because dear”, I answered, “You see we lived in Warwick County, and every- one thought ‘The Warwick’ was the most typical name we could give it. “Since we had decided that we really wanted an annual we knew that it would be very necessary to find a way at once to make some money for it. One of the first things we did was to have a bazaar, which turned out to be very successful. We were then very proud of the fact that we had really begun to make money for our annual. “Then each class decided that it was up to them to do something individually for the annual. “The Juniors decided to sell candy each day at the lunch hour, while the Sopho- mores planned to sell hot chocolate. It is needless to say that these plans were very successful. “The Seniors next decided to have a tag day, which proved to be an even greater success. The Freshmen also did their share by selling votes for the most popular girl in school. “Then the Juniors and Seniors decided to give a Silver Tea, which proved to be a great success, both socially and financially. “Ah, children”, I exclaimed, as I turned to the picture of the Dramatic club in ‘The Warwick’, “how happy and proud we were to find that we had such fine actors and actresses in our very midst when we gave our first play ‘The Early Bird’. By making such a fine beginning we were sure of success in this line”. “Then two fine literary societies were organized”, I added as I had turned to the picture of the officers of the Poindexteh and Wilson Literary Societies. “Many an important question has been debated on in those societies”. “Why, Grandma”! exclaimed Robert, “that couldn’t have been Morrison High Sch ool!” “Yes, dear, it was Morrison High School,” I answered. “Why, Granny, I saw in the paper today where they had won the state foot- ball championship”! “Yes, dear,” I answered proudly, “and 1 also saw where it stands head of the list of accredited schools in Virginia”. “Why, children, did you know it was so late?” I sternly exclaimed, “you must both scamper off to bed right away”. So I was alone to again recall those memories of Morrison High School which are so dear to me. Tage Fifty-two The Warwick ISlt to M orris on Iligli Scliool When I visited Morrison High School one sunny day in May, the first thing I noticed was the janitor out cutting the beautiful grass in front of the building. As I entered the building I saw two stairways, which, the children told me I had better climb if I wanted to reach success, which was situated on the second floor. After climbing the stairs I came into the hall and saw the great sheik and cake-eater, Elliott Thomas and George Thomasson talking to two flappers, Dorothy Churn and Ruth Higbie. Both of the flappers had enough powder and paint on thier faces to pain a red and white danger sign. I thought it very unusual for flappers to use powder and paint and I wondered why Morrison should have these two exceptions, but I found out later much to my horror that there was another girl guilty of the same crime — Sarah Hostetter. After passing those romantic figures I came upon George Bergh and Iris Robertson telling how much they hated each other, as usual. They were getting so deep that I thought I would drown, so I moved on. I almost thought I was in the darkest corner cf some park with all those love affairs going on around me. There were so many people standing in the hall that I knew the bell had not rung, but when the bell did ring all of the children went straight to their class-rooms without another word. Next I entered one of the class-rooms and began talking to the teacher there. As I thought she was Miss Volk, I complimented her on being the youngest teacher in the school but she assured me that she was not Miss Volk and said her name was Miss Truitt. I felt rather embarrassed to have mistaken Miss Truitt for the youngest teacher. After visiting a few more classes I started down stairs when something like chimes rang out and I knew it was the school’s highly toned bell which meant the dis- missal of the children. I ran down stairs and out of the way so I would not get caught in the stampede but, to my surprise the doors seemed to open mechanically and the pupils marched out in line, very solemnly. This is something that rarely happens in other schools, but they say that Morrison has the most orderly students in the state. As I walked outside a large boy named Lawi-ence Baines, came up to me and asked me if I would put in an order for the high school annual. He explained that he was just an insignificant member of the senior class and that it was going to cost them ten or fifteen dollars to put the annual out. Well, I wondered how they would get the money for the pictures and other things since they told me no one ever asked for dues or money for anything in the school. Anyhow, I said I’d order one and then he said he would like the money right then and there as their class motto was: “IN GOD WE TRLST; EVERYBODY ELSE, CASH”! I cancelled my order and went home.

HUMOR Laura, queen of the Cannibals, had just finished the last juicy morsel of the poet. “Your Royal Highness, what epitaph shall we place over his bones?” The Queen pondered for a moment; then a roguish smile played around the corners of her mouth. “Why not simply say: ' Here lies the poet Laureate’ ”. — Ex. $ % He (slightly lit) — “Where in Hell have I met you before?” She — “I don’t know; what part of Hell do you come from?” — Ex. “Do you serve lobsters here?” “Yes, we serve anybody, sit down sir.” — Ex.

We all went with bells on, deafening everybody with our songs and yells. 15 — Seniors receive various samples of rings for their class. As usual nothing decided, when we all mutually agreed to disagree. 18 — An exciting day! At last we found out who would be our Annual staff and our Literary Society officers. We voted with more spirit than usual and to our satis- faction, our literary geniuses were brought forth in the limelight! 23 — The School Board forgot that we needed a furnace, so they closed school on account of no heat. “Truth is the best policy,” as the old saying goes. So we believe too — but we believe that the proper thing to say here is — that we were very “sorry” to leave school. Everybody who believes that — — — HUMOR AND THE SCALES TIPPED Men beat women, whipped them to anger by cruel words, stung them to remorse by infidelity, hurt them with indifference. But one day the Good Creator looked down on the earth and noticed that things were a bit uneven. So lie gave women a weapon more deadly than any possessed by men. It was: “But we can still be good friends.” — Malteaser. “How long does an engine last?” asked the inquisitive old lady of the locomotive engineer. “About thirty years,” he answered patiently. “Oh, I should think a tough looking old thing like that would last much longer than thii ' ty years.” “Maybe it would, if it d dn’t smoke so much.” Bolshi — “Wanna go on a sleighing party?” Viki — “Who are we gonna slay?” Page Sixty-eight o o 2 — Half the school journeyed to Williamsburg to the football game.

Lots of fun — ask Joe ? ? ? ? 28 — Special Thanksgiving assembly and school closed at 1:30 for holidays. “Pep- ped to a million!” HUMOR Wife — “Dear, I’ve been to the doctor. Dear — “What did he say?” Wife — “He said I had better travel for my health. Where do you think I ought to go ? ” Dear — “To another doctor. — Punch Bowl. s}: AH! THEM LINES He looked at her. She was his idol. Her little hood was perched jauntily on one side — tantalizing. “You’re different — not like the others,” he murmured, and sighed. “They are too noisy — you are so quiet. Theirs is a pace that kills — yours is gentle and easy. They are emotional — they break down — not so with you! I love your coolness! “And to think — that soon you’ll be my own! “But are you tired? Ah! I had forgotten my date. We shall have to hurry.” And so he cranked her, jumped in — and drove away. — Sun Dial. Page Sixty-nine % 1 — Basketball team started their desperately hard work to get the gym fixed up. Loads of fun! 13 — Big Christmas bazaar meets with success, regardless of the fact that the thirteenth is supposed to be unlucky. We felt fully repaid for our hard work after we had so much fun.

Dismissed at 2 o’clock. Holiday — Ray!

M. “I’ve been out on a date,” was his answer. “With that dirty shirt?” “Naw, with a girl.” s): History Prof. — “And when Lord Chesterfield saw that death was near he gathered all his friends around him. But before he breathed his last he uttered those last im- mortal words. Who can tell me what the dying words of Lord Chesterfield were?” Class (in chorus) — “They Satisfy!” Page Seventy The War c 3 2 — Back to work after holidays. Standardized the school ring at a joint meeting of representatives from each class. 7 — Juniors give “Mock Wedding” which drew many laughs from the audience and also many dimes. 8 — Somebody was wise enough to name the annual. Hereafter, we will say The Warwick” instead of the “annual.” 9 — Snapshots for school statistics taken — not hut one kodak broken. 16 — First victory for boys basketball “five” which inspired the girls to play Denbigh High. 22 — The “annual” copying and exhaustion over examinations begin; after which girls play Camp Eustis to celebrate. 31 — Silver Tea was given for benefit of annual. Rather formal as teas usually are — we had our fun tho’ after all the callers left. Country Lawyer (buying railroad ticket) — “Gimme a ticket to Pawtucket.” Agent — “Do you wish a sleeper, Sir?” Cornfed Lawyer — “No, I guess not. My wife and I talked it over and we con- cluded that it would be better to sit up all night than to stay in bed all day.” HUMOR “Are you taking good care of your cold?” “You bet I am. IYe had it six weeks and it’s as good as new.” $ $ $ ❖ ❖ =3= £ Fresh — “How can I cure sleep-walking habit?” Dok Mathas — “Sprinkle tacks on the floor.” She — “What makes you think Jones is tired of his wife?” He — “Sign in front of his house says ‘Honey for Sale’ ”. Page Seventy-one O o o 7 — Everybody tries to make money for annual. The seniors sell tags, sopho- mores sell hot chocolate and freshmen sell hot dogs. 8 — It seems that every thing centers ai’ound the annual these days. Teachers and staff have their pictures taken. 9 — The classes, clubs and organizations are photographed. Also first attempt is made at squeezing ads out of the merchants. 12 — Miss Bonnewell gives her class a Valentine party, inviting seniors; also Dan Cupid was surely there because some “truly” lost their hearts. ' 25 — Gave the “Early Bird” over again so they could get more money for Ath- letic Association. Huge success. 26 — Big snow — much to the pupils’ delight but not to the teachers. Too many snowballs of revenge thrown. 27 — Girls play Newport News High. HUMOR “D-d-d y’ know, I believe I’ve found out what makes me s-stutlah!” “Really?” “Yawss; ,I’ve been watching myself veiy c-carefully, and I’ve discovered that 1 nevah stuttah except when I t-t-try to t-t-talk!” “I wish to ask you a question concerning a tragedy,” very slowly said Lenore. “Well?” asked Miss Carr. “What is my 1 grade?” came from Lenore. She (suggestively) — “That roast duck in the window makes my mouth water” The Brute — “Then spit.” She — “That man fell out of a twenty-story building and wasn’t even badly bruised.” He — “How come?” She — “He fell out of the first stoiy”. ❖ Jj: “Where are you going?” “Chemistry exam.” “Going to take the acid test, Eh?” Pape Seventy-two o 14 — Half holiday on account of Teachers’ meeting. Also supper given by Patrons’ League for annual. 17— St. Patrick’s day — everybody green as usual — only little bit “greener.” 20 — Got lined up for the big minstrel. Some of the girls failed to think that a mixed minstrel might make them any better looking — but we have our own opinion. 26 — Mock Wedding and Virginia Reel given over by Juniors in Hilton Audi- torium. A “ scream” again was the wedding, but the Virginia Reel proved to the audience that we could be “grace” itself. 27 — We all journeyed to Yorktown to see “history repeat itself.” Griffith is taking a part of his big picture “The Chronicles of America” up there. We saw the surrender of Cornwallis. Ask some of the girls how they would like to become act- resses. They say — well wait and see.

Why don’t you say what you mean?” I cannot sing the old songs I dare not sing the new For how in heck can a fellow sing When a feller has to chew? When the donkey saw the zebra He began to switch his tail; “Well, I never,” was his comment, “Saw a mule that’s been in Jail.” Page Seventy-foul - Warwick M ay 1 — Unusual happening of the day!

A crowd of us went up to the game with the team. 26 — Our doom sounded again! Examination started. 29 — Literary night. A chance will be given all of our young orators, debaters, etc , “to show off”.

One of our last times together. The will, history and etc. will be read and most of all fun, we have our “scrap bag”. Then also, our play. 31 — Seniors entertained by Juniors. Lots of fun anticipated. HUMOR Mable H. — “A certain young man sent me a bunch of flowers this morning. Mrs. Handy — “Don’t say certain young man.

For the first time the seniors feel serious in their caps and gowns. 2 — It is a sad time indeed — graduation. The “day of days”, but one that makes each senior realize just how much their dear old Alma Mater has meant to them. 3 — The last day that we will ever be together. After the last bell has rung, we seniors sadly wander up and down the hall and tell each room and desk good-bye. Everybody else has gone but just “us”. After a last look — we go. 3 — The same day — yes — our class banquet and we want nothing but happiness there — even in our speeches when called on by the teastmaster.
