DEDICATION WE. THE SENIORS OF 1942. DEDICATE THIS ISSUE OF THE POWDER KEG TO OUR PARENTS. WHO HAVE SO NOBLY HELPED US ALONG THE RUGGED PATHWAY IN ORDER THAT WE MAY BE BETTER ABLE TO SERVE THE WORLD WHICH WE ARE ABOUT TO ENTER. HISTORY OF NITRO SCHOOL Perhaps no other high school in the state of West Virginia has such an interesting origin, and such a varied history as Nir.ro High School. Erected hurriedly by the United States gov- ernment in 1917-18. during the exciting day s of the First World War. its architectural design shows the handiwork of characteristics typical of the town of Nitro. The school, built as a model, is unique in that it is all located on one floor. Every room has two exits, one into the central hall and one to the outside. T he building is separated by fire walls and doors to prevent a possible fire from spreading. There are three large central halls which were originally used as recreation and assembly halls. When these became too small, a large gymnasium and auditorium combined, one of the best in the state, was completed by the citizens of Nitro. There are 27 class rooms in the building. 1 4 of which are used for high school classes. Two new buildings have been erected for use in the lower grades. During the course of twenty-four years, three separate governmental and one private cor- poration have owned and controlled the Nitro school. After being built by the federal gov- ernment and operated by it until 1920. the school was taken over by the Charleston Industrial Corporation, a private enterprise, which operated the school, free of taxes, until 1923. It was during that year that the Nitro Independent District was formed, which purchased the en- tire school plant from the Charleston Industrial Corporation for about $10.000. Now. un- der the county unit, ownership has passed to its fourth owner. Kanawha County. Under the ownership of the federal government and the Charleston Industrial Corpora- tion only two years of high school were offered. In 1932. under the independent district, there was organized a six year high school which operates today. In April 1940. Nitro High School was accepted for membership in the North Central As- sociation. Two attempts were made previous to that year but membership was refused. Original courses at Nitro were: American and European history, arithmetic, algebra, ge- ometry. English. Spanish, and Latin. In addition to these, with the exception of Spanish, the following subjects are now taught: public speaking, chemistry, solid geometry, advanced al- gebra. physics, biology, general science, mechanical drawing, music, typing, shorthand, book- keeping. physical education, economics, sociology, civics, occupations, manual training, busi- ness training, and domestic science. The public speaking course was installed this year. In addition to the regular classrooms and equipment, the school has a biology, chemis- try. and physics laboratory, a kitchen and sewing room for manual training, a library, a Red Cross room, and a principal's office.

We’ve worked together, played together To reach this distinguished goal: Now that be have reached it Our hearts are free and bold. We will be tossed by the billows of life From one shore to another But in the midst of all the strife We must succeed, we cannot falter. There is a task we all can do. Big or small, it does not matter. Now that we have finished school We shall work to make life better. —Tom Quinn. 8 The Powder Keg CLASS OF '4 2 VIRGINIA QUINN—“Jenny'' A Cappella Choir 1.2: Frost King's Daughter” 1 : Girl Reserve 2: Girls Athletic Club 2: Glee Club 2. 4: Hiawatha's Child- hood” 2: Home Economics Club 3: Dancing Club 4.

Crash! Boom! What was that? That was the Freshmen of '39 starting out their next four years with a bang, we really made history. To start things rollin' the class officers for the freshmen were: President. Frances Gaylor: Vice-President. Carol Wallace: Secretary-Treasurer. Elizabeth Fowler and representative of the freshmen in the student council, Jean Shomo. It was during our freshman year that the Boost- ers' Club was organized. In our sophomore year we were still young, gay. and mischievous. Those in charge of our mischievery were: President. Max Galloway: Vice-President. Tom Sanders: Secretary- Treasurer. Mary Frances Crawford: last year's class president represented the sophomores in the student council. The Booster's Club gave a school dance during this year and a good time was had by all. In the junior year we really strutted our stuff. led by: President. Jean Shomo: Vice-Presi- dent. Tom Quinn: Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Frances Crawford. The class rings were or- dered for the following year. To earn money for the junior-senior banquet, dish towels. Christ- mas cards and stationery were sold. Two shows were sponsored. Charlie MacCarthy. The De- tective and The Son of Monte Cristo. Breaking an old custom of going to Charleston for the banquet, we had it right here in our alma mater. Dancing followed the dinner. Max Gal- loway was elected president of the student council for the coming year. At last came the long awaited year. We were now dignified (?) seniors. We elected Dar- ius Silman. President: George Cook. Vice-President: Mary Frances Crawford. Secretary-Treas- urer. and Libby Fowler, representative for the student council. Due to the fact that Max Galloway moved away, Jack Bailey was elected president of the student council. The Dra- matics Club gave their annual play, Leave It To Mother.” Thus ends four years of activities that will never be forgotten. May the succeeding years be just as happy and successful. The Powder Keg 1 C CLASS PROPHECY The scene takes place in a living room of a fashionable apartment house. A grey haired, kind faced, grace- ful looking, little, old lady is seated in a rocker. On her knee, looking at a book, sits a little girl who lives down the hall. The year is 1962. the sweet little old lady is Miss Pratt, and the book they arc reviewing is a 1942 annual. As she looks over the names of the one class she thought she could trust she secs Jack Bailey's name at the top. Dear popular Jack. He is now head of the loafers on W.P.A. His sweet, madonna-like wife. Mary Frances, works night shift as a telephone operator to support three extra mouths. (The dog had pups.) Going on down the list she smiles as she saw Dollie McCoy's name. Dollie. 1961's Miss America, has just been chosen 1962 s No. 1 Glamour Girl. She has accepted the leading role in the new motion picture. How Chapped Arc My Hands It is under the direction of Earl Oldham, the multimillionaire and owner of the Golden Gate Bridge. Earl has just finished a picture entitled. Little Joe Rides Again starring Joe Donegan. who is now the Nation's No. 1 Play Boy and this season’s box office hit. Down near the end of the line Miss Pratt s twinkling eyes fall upon the name of Clayton Samples. She smiles reminiscently as she thinks of the tall, handsome boy that is now president of the Samples and Collins Transcon- tinental Airlines. Eugene is a silent partner because he is so busy paying alimony to his seven wives that he hasn't time to look after his business affairs. One of Samples and Collins’ pilots is Charles Simpson, as capable a man as ever flew a crate. One of Simpson’s regular passengers is John Waldorf, who is head coach at U.C.L.A. and assistant coach at Duke. He's really a very busy person especially when the two teams play each other. The next John Henry that her peepers collide with is that of Erwin Shipley—Erwin is now owner of a mil- lion dollar night club in Miami. Florida. Every night Shiplcv. known as Bashful Erwin. gets up on a table top in front of the spectators and docs a dainty clog dance and recites nursery rhymes just to show them he can make a noise. One of Erwin’s chief attractions is the dance team of Beulah Raynes and Calvin Gillispie. My. how they do cover the floor and sometimes it’s not with just their feet! Looking on up the list the aged little woman sees Virginia Quinn’s name. Jenny, who for some years has been working in the women’s prison in Alderson as janitoress. is now running an elevator in the Professional Building in Nitro. Since she is new and can't work the levers very fast, she is called Slow Gin. After resting her eves for a while. Miss Pratt continues on down the list until her bifocals focus on the moni- ker of Skinny Davis. What is Skinny doing now? Oh. yes. he is head of the department that is digging up street car tracks. Since all street car tracks were taken up 15 years ago. you have a good idea of what Skinny is doing. The next person on the list made her smile sadly as she thought of him. Max Ga'loway. past president of the United States. He served three terms and while running for the fourth, was shot, but fortunately recovered. Jean Shomo ran for vice-president during Galloway’s third campaign and was the first woman to ever receive the office. She had to resign when she eloped with the secretary of state’s gardener. Dewey King. Leighton Smith is now secretary of treasury and is making money hand over fist. George Cook is a big business man on Wall street and George Crawford is Ambassador to Canada. The lovely Mrs. Crawford, formerly Norma Phelps, is with him in Ottawa. Pondering a moment as to what became of Randy Jividen. Miss Pratt suddenly recalls reading an article in the Nitro News, which is now a world wide newspaper owned bv Charles Dobbins, about his opening the world's fair at Coon Creek. His main show is the one in which Libbu Fowler, widely known dancer, docs a bubble dance to further the use of soap and water in the little village. Carol Wallace has reopened her sea food restaurant in San Francisco after closing just long enough to obtain her divorce from Dwight Steele, who is now in jail for bigamy. After turning the fire out under the beans Miss Pratt hobbled back to the rocking chair and resumed her seat. She scanned the list and came upon Tom Quinn's name. Tom is now the Archbishoo of Canterbury and his pretty little bishopess. Opal Mattox, is now residing with him in Westminster Abbey with all the little bishops. Tom Sanders is also in fo ei n lands. He is in the French Foreign I.egion with Charles Hayes. They are trying to forget all of the St. Albans girls that nearly drove them hysterical. Looking at the senior pictures. Miss Pratt gazes uoon the countenance of Jack Skelton. Jack is now head of a chain of morgues, operates six funeral homes and on the side he butchers in Kroger's Super Market. She sighs as she sees Eleanor Talbert and Madeltne Painter s fair faces. They are now making their seventh debut and trying to popularize ringside hair-combing again. So far they haven’t met with any success. Bernard Estep never married. He and BiH Hendel are still working over the problem of who gets Peggy Alice. the gav divorcee. Frqncelin Showen is now head of the Indianapolis Spcedwav and champion woman driver of America. fsahol Santrock and Darius Silman are both very nice soinsters and are growing old gracefully on the front porch of Uncle Jess' Poor Farm, which is supervised bv Jesse Johnson. The little old lady laughed out loud as she looked at Mary Bernice Tormey’s picture. Mary has just gotten r«d of her sixth husband and is now planning to retire on the alimony she saved up from her first three husbands. Okey WPey is doing a fine job of announcing over station WACKY for Norma Jane Young, who is giving helpful hints to fortune hunters and gold diggers. Lillian Love, world fam d opera singer and bookwriter. just finished her latest book It’s a Killin’ Me. It’s a gripping mystery that chills your very gizzard. Dons Ingram. Gladys Hayes. Ellen ( olhns. and Charlotte Crist are all swimming stars in Darrell Luikart’i, new aquaucade now showing in Madison Square Garden. The aquacade is directed by Lloyd Boggess. who held (Continued on page 42) 16 The Powder Keg CLASS WILL We. the Senior Class of Nitro High School, being in full possession of such mental facilities as we possess or claim to possess, do hereby devise, will, bequeath, and convey our various earthly possessions, and all the dangles and bangles therunto belonging, to the enfeebled intellects of our successors, the Juniors.

The trophy case now holds five trophies on which students of the school may have their names inscribed. The music award which was donated by the lovers of music in Nitro, is given each year to the student who is most outstanding in music for the year. The senior scholastic trophy, donated by the Monsanto Chemical company, is given each year to a member of the senior class who is in the upper 10 percent of the class in scholarship, and who ranks high in character, leadership, and service to the school. The scholastic trophy for the junior high school, which was donated by the American Viscose Company, is awarded on the same basis as the senior scho- lastic trophy, except that it is given to a member of the junior high school, in the ninth grade. The Nitro Pencil Company donated a trophy which is given to the student who shows the most improvement during the year. The Hi-Y donated a trophy to the school to be given to the person in high school who is selected as the best all-around athlete. In choosing this person they consider sportsmanship, training and activity. The Hi-Y also gives the winner of this trophy a personal medal which he may keep for himself. The Citizenship trophy, which was purchased by the Student Council, is given to the student who is chosen as the best school citizen. I he selection of this student is made by the student body in an election each year. I he Student Council has set up 10 points upon which the candidates for the election are chosen. These points are: punctuality and attendance: care of school property: respect for school authority: honesty: industriousness: helps keep school tidy: thoughtfulness of others; support of school activities: observation of principles of sanitation: obedience to school and state laws. The selection of the winners of these trophies is made by the members of the faculty, except the Hi-Y trophy, for which the winner is chosen by the members of the club. This year the trophy awards were given to the following students: Senior Honor Roll. Frances Gaylor: Junior Honor Roll, George Martin: student show- ing the most improvement, Dewey King: athletic award, Bernard Estep: citi- zenship. Tapley Daugherty: and music award. Frances Gaylor. We feel that these students richly deserve the trophy awards and wish them continued suc- cess in the pathways they choose. 36 The Powdet Keg GRADUATES OF NITRO HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1919 Ruth Ralston Class of i 920 Florence Goldberg Class of 1921 No graduates Class of 1922 Enid Morton 1) Jack Schaffer Class of 1923 No graduates Class of 1924 Homer Putney Class of 1925 Marcel Kritzmacher Dorothy Thudium Cecelia Fish Walker Margaret Forrest Class of 1926 Kent Warner Massie Wilson Ellis Peyton Wilson £ Madeline Morton Florence Williams Class of 1927 Ethel Coffey Estes Margurite Lyons Clark Voras Meeks Wanda Morton Cooley Ellis Rowsey Sally Trout Harris Aurelia Sylvester Irons Class of 1928 Marvelle Deane Cooper Velma Ellia Hanna Mabel Putney Trout Virginia Raynes Margaret Stamm Schowen John Thudium William R.

Florence O'Dell joined the Irish Red Cross but when she found out the red clashed with her hair she joined the white cross as a greenhorn. Frances Gaylor received the Nobel Peace Prize for making a powerful explosive when she made a cake one day and used the wrong kind of powder. Celesta Boggess is now a very efficient nurse and has her bach- elor-cr I mean her old maid's degree. Last but not least. Miss Pratt saw she had missed Eleanor Reynolds. Poor little Eleanor! After writing the class will and prophecy she collapsed and is now in solitary confinement in Spencer Hospital where she should have been long ago. With fond memories. Miss Pratt closed the an- nual and sent the little girl home. Then she went to the medicine chest, took a bromo. and hoped that they all would live to a ripe old age. Signed, ELEANOR REYNOLDS.
