Saga of the Class of 1940 The one hundred and fourteen rats enrolled in Oceana High School in September, 1936, came from the Oceana Grade School, the Willoughby T. Cooke School of Virginia Beach, and the Prin- cess Anne Grade School. Because of the size of the class it was necessary to have two freshman home 1'0Ol1lS. Most of us were in Miss Bracey's and Mr. Kline's 1'ooms, but a few were in Mr. Saunder's mixed group. Vernon Herbert served as president in Miss Bracey's home roomg Bobby Barco, in Mr. Kline's 1'oom. Even as freshman, we entered trather noisily, perhaps! into school activities. Seven of us jumped right into the Newspaper Clubg large groups entered the Literary, Dramatic. and Glee Clubs. In September, 1937, we embarked upon happy and successful sophomore year. We were shuf- fled, and then divided between Miss Bracey and Mr. Upson. Miss Bracey's group chose Nell Grimes as president, and Mr. Upson's room chose Bobby Barco. By this time we were beginning to be more active in Oceana's extra-curricular activities. The cast of the one-act play, .lnnior's 1illUl!SfflC'll6 . was composed almost entirely of sophomores. Includ- ed in the play were Phillip Rodgerson, Sara Vl'ood- house, and Mary Ellen Cole. The comedy was first place at Vllilliam and Mary and went to Charlottesville. Vernon Herbert and Sara XVood- house, as spo1'ts editors, and Nell Vl'ebb, as cir- culation manager, headed the list of thirteen mem- bers of our class who were active in the se1'vice of the Lighthouse. Mary Ellen Cole and Lucile Clark were officers of the Glee Club. The class was active also in sports. Eleanor Woodhouse, Frieda Decker, and Sara Woodhouse, received basketball monogramsg Vernon Herbert. George Wadsworth, and Garland Caffee received awards for baseball tCaffee received also a basket- ball awardl: Bobby Barco and Vivian Hodgson were recipients of football monograms. When we became Juniors in 1938, we settled down a little. Most of us were in Miss Bracey's and Miss Harris's home rooms, although a few were included in Miss Cloud's mixed group. In Miss Harris's room Bobby Barco was chosen pi'esident, while Miss Bracey's group elected Nell Webb president. In Miss Cloud's room Bill Ten Truit was president. During this year the class was honored by having one of its members, Ver- non H91'b61't, elected editor-in-chief of the Light- house, the first time that a junior had held that position. All staff positions except two were held by juniors last year. Nell Webb, .Iappy Johnson, and Nell Grimes were sent to the Student Co- operative Association Meeting at Vlfilliamsburg. Virginia Naille made a 94 on the Latin III Tournament examination. Bobby Addenbrook became captain of our safety patrol system. NVe acquitted ourselves nobly in giving a successful, well-attended Junior- Senior Prom in the school gymnasium. Sending a representative to the Conference on Public Is- sues held by the College of VVilliam and Mary at Williamsburg was our final act as a junior class. At long last tit had seemed to many of us that this year would never comel we found our- selves lofty seniors. Our first deed was to choose Bobby :XClClCl'lb1'0Ol-I president of the class. This year we really did branch out and hold the most important offices. With all newspaper staff positions, except two, held by seniors, with most of our champion girl's basketball team com- posed of seniors and with most of the positions in the Literary Society filled by us, we set the pace for the whole school. Vl'hen the Beta Club was established at Oceana, weren't seven of the nine charter members seniors? Our senior play Toniboy proved a smashing success, in respect to its performance as well as its money making proclivities. The opinion of the school, however, rates the production of this annual as the greatest single achievement of the class of 1940. We unanim- vusly desire that it may be the first of many. In the final round of the long struggle, we paused long enough to enjoy ourselves thoroughly at the banquet at Pine Tree Inn, tendered us by the junior class. Then we rushed headlong into examinations and came out of those just in time for the Commencement Sermon, June 2, which was delivered by Rev. J. Elwood Carroll, Greens- boro, North Carolina. June 4, we assumed thick coating of dignity and solemnity which clung until we received our hard won sheepskins from Mr. E. N. MacWilliams.
