The class of l95-l has a distinct privilege of being the last one to graduate from a high school that has served the community for so long. You. the underclassmen listed in this book, can look forward with great anticipation to entering a new modern high school that will be second to none in this area in facilitiesg however, the life of the school will depend on you. The school will be just what you make it. I trust and believe that the Oceana students will help make it the very best. Oceana High School has served you well, l am sure that memories will linger on, and at times you would like to return to your home, I join with you in saying Farewell to dear old O. H. S.

M History In the fall of 49 out big climb began. We were at last what they call lowly eighth graders , really green around the edges. Bur as time went on, between the teachers patience and the upper classmen's toler- ence, we became accustomed to the change and began to blossom. Then in the fall of 1950, as Freshmen, we were really a part of the high school. Now we could look down on those lowly eighth graders , but since we were working for those all important credits, it was necessary to cut out some of the play and get down to hard work. This, however, didn't prevent us from taking part in extra curricula activities such as, athletics and clubs. Time passed quickly and so ended our first year in high school. As Sophomores we began to get the swing of things. Our class officers were elected, and they started making plans for the coming year. Our first party was at Christmas. Boy, was it a honey!-music, dancing, and food galore. Exams came. With much cramming and anxiety most of us came through okay. We all enjoyed the party given us by the Seniors as a reward for being the first class to get annual subscriptions from everyone. To top off a wonderful year of hard studies, plenty of extra activities, and oodles of parties, we had the only Sophomore banquet ever to be held at Oceana High. ln September, 1952 we were finally on speaking terms with those dignified Seniors. This year our girls' basketball team again gained the title of the County Champions , and some of our classmates were members of the team. juniors! Almost there now. Responsibility came our way as we realized we had to sponsor the Junior- Senior Banquet. The big problem was raising the money so we sold peanuts, popcorn, and candy at football games, but knowing we still had to raise additional funds, our attics were cleaned and several rummage sales were sponsored. The gala event was planned for May Sth at the Nansemond Hotel with the Hawaiian Islands as our theme. A finishing touch was added to the event by the arrival of our Senior rings that morning, and it made us feel so much more important. Everyone enjoyed a beautiful, balmy evening of dining and dancing. Final exams were over, and most of us pulled through. Gee, that year was so full of studies and activi- ties, it just flew by. Well it was September, l955 and we were back as dignified Seniors. Everyone was in high spirits, hoping that this was his last year. Football season was right around the corner with our annual Ocean Bowl game scheduled as a climax. Most of us took an active part in the festivities. We had already started to work on the last Cavalier yearbook, but we were a long way from finished. More ads had to be gotten, and the work of compiling the annual was still ahead of us. Time flew and before we knew it Christmas with its parties had come only too soon to be part of our memories. When the time came for us to order our invitations we realized that graduation was close at hand. Then came our Senior play, XWe Shook the Family Tree . Those rehearsals-what fun they were! It wasn't long before our caps and gowns came and we then knew that graduation was no longer a dream. Graduation night came and went, and although that was the last year of Old O. H. S. its memories will live forever. The Last Farewell Dear friends and memories we leave behind With heavy hearts and sad, And proudly we march down the aisle With happy hearts and glad. A proud salute to our dear old school, To our teachers and our learning. With wondering eyes and eager smiles We're to the future turning. We look behind to this great old structure- This monument to learning, And know that in the years to come We'll think of this time with yearning. This school has done her work and now passes to another Youth of high school age. She closes her doors while new ones open To start a brand new page. Farewell, dear school, this class to you sighs As we sadly turn away, We love you and we always will Through every coming day.

This is Gabriel, your special news broadcaster, bringing you direct from the nineteenth floor of the Mayflower Apartment House a description of the Grand Ball about which you have read so much in the papers lately. Before the guests unmask I'd like to tell you a little something that might be of interest to you. This ball is given in honor of the graduates of Oceana High School of the year 1954. By the way, that happened to be the last year of the high school and they were very proud to be able to say that they were the last graduating class, many of them having started school there. In their Senior year they set this date, june 9, l964, to meet again for their class reunion. During the past ten years many graduates of that class have become very successful and famous. Tonight, for your enjoyment, I am going to describe the guests and some of their costumes as they come through the huge double doors which are decorated with thousands of white orchids. The ball room, here in the Mayflower, is beautifully lit with Japanese lanterns-wait a minute, here come the first guests. Here comes the muskrat king, Mr. C. E. Harris, and his very lovely wife, the former June Peterson, who is naturally covered with rats. Gossip says that Mr. Harris is trying to trap enough rats for his wife to have a coat. Following them in a very windy costume is Miss Gaynelle third husband, Kent Wowder, who is also her wardrobe loved husband and wife team of television, Mr. and Mrs. gette before her marriage and she now plays the wife in Imogene Culver who owns and operates the well known usual dress of black. Here come Mr. and Mrs. Howard doing very well. He had quite a shock a few months ago Kime, who is known as the burlesque queen, and her and bodyguard. I see approaching the doors the well Jimmy Craddock. Mrs. Craddock was Geraldine Mid- the series of I Love Dene . Well, if it isn't Miss Morning Glory Funeral Home . She is wearing her Savage. Mr. Savage, a recent graduate of V.M.I., is He made his first million and in the same week his wife, the former joann Hughes, whom he went with for years, presented him with triplets. They are wearing the costumes of Romeo and Juliet. Wilmont Downey and his wife Lorene Ferguson are here. Everyone says that while Wilmont is singing his wife pitches pennies on the stage. I see that Mr. Billy Morrisette and his date have just arrived. She is Mabel Madge Fimple Goble. Mr. Morrisette is the president of A.A.A. They are dressed in labels. Luis Bolinaga has just headed a new Cuban revolution and his faithful lover, the famous Portia of Broadway or Lois Wood, has vowed to stay by his side no matter what happens. They are going to arrive late. Lewis Voliva, the owner of Colonial Stores, donated one thousand cans of crushed pineapple juice in honor of his future wife, Miss Ellen Reitelback, who has just won the title of Miss Crushed Pineapple , with more juice to the squeeze. Her costume is naturally a pineapple. That happily married basketball champion, Ray Whitehead has just come in with his dashing wife, Dolly White, who was also a basketball player before she married. They are raising their own team and not a one of their children is under five feet seven. They have on red uniforms. In the gossip column of a well known paper it was stated that the stunning red-head of the Beach, Miss Dixie Condron, had given up everything to follow her famous adventurous husband, Mr. Charles Ammons, to Africa where he is going to look for diamonds. He was told that they were cheaper there. Looking around, I find tht among the famous guests here tonight is Miss Bobby Wilson, World's Cham- pion Lady Wrestler. Her famous hold, The Man Hold , attained for her the title. She is wearing bright green trunks with an orange shirt. Everyone is turning around to look at Mr. and Mrs. Bill Perry as they enter with their fleet of Eskimo dogs. Mr. Perry is running a fish hatchery in Alaska while his wife, the ex-Miss Jacque Carson, is teaching the Eski- mos the art of living. They are all decked out in seal skins and whale oil. Coming toward me is Mr. Donald Oglesby, the well known photographer who is hard at work taking pictures of his latest pin-up girl Mrs. Ann NVardlaw. Tonight we have a very distinguished guest. He is Mr. Andy Wtvtvd who is now making his home in India where he is dean of a girls school. He has brought three of his teachers and I see that they are: Betty McDaniels, Billy -Io Harville, and Carole Honeycutt. They are dressed in their native costumes. I have just been informed that Causey Davis is learning to play the piano and who should be teaching him but his wife. Loretta Hitchings was her maiden name and she was very successful as a music teacher, I can't describe their costumes because Il1C1'Ci1'C taken from a modern painting. If anyone has a lonely heart, come right down. We have here Miss Mary Virginia Garrett who runs a Lonely Hearts Club since her lover ran away with his secret model joan Gallup. Miss Garrett looks like a letter without a stamp. I'm sure that all of you listening remember Miss Lorraine Cox, the banana heires, who married the hot rod driver Mr. Archie Bolyard. Well, they tell me that he got plenty of practice while rushing het to the hos- pital and for the seventh time. By the way, it was another boy. Wlittt is she going to do with seven boys! They have come dressed like tramps. Almost all of the guest have arrived, but a few are still arriving late and here comes the lady with the eyebrows voted most likely to succeed, Mrs. Barbara Rittenhouse Powell. Her famous husband, Dicky Powell, is the ring master in a horse circus. Here are the last to arrive and I see that they are Miss joy Sawyer who is working as a dishwasher and hashslinger while waiting for her big break in dramatics and Mr. and Mrs. john Slattery. His wife, who was Shirley Hamlin, divorced her third husband to marry john after his book, Bashfulness Doesn't Pay , became a hit and neted him a cool million. Mr. Slattery said that the book was written from personal experiences. Well ladies and gentlemen, I find that my time is up and I must sign off. I hope that you have enjoyed this description of the Grand Ball which is being held on the nineteen'h floor of the Mayflower Apartments, so I say to each and every one of you, so-long for now but I hope to be seeing you soon. This is Gabriel signing off. 2 Junior President .... Vice President Secretary ..., Treasurer . . . Class 0fHE1ee-irs . . . . Buddy Redfeurn . . . . . . Frances Speight . . Dorothy Carson . . .

The officers elected to serve the 1955-54 term were: Dicky Powell-Presidentg Geraldine Midgett-Vice Presidentg Lewis Voliva-Secretaryg Mabel Goble-Treasurerg and Dorothy Nixon-Reporter. The club, under the sponsorship of Mr. james jackson, carried out many plans for club social activities and the development of better athletics. The Oceana Club is constantly striving to instigate and substain the ideal of true sportsmanship.

Reporter The Library Club was organized at the beginning of the year under the sponsorship of the li- brarian, Mrs. Nancy Strickler. The club is composed of student librarians and students interested in library work. It is the purpose and aim of the club to make the library the hub of educational activities of the school, to stimulate the reading interests, and ti improve library service. The club sponsored a float in the Ocean Bowl Parade in November, as a part of the celebration of Book Week, Members sold cookie cutters at Christmas to raise money to go into books or pictures for the library. In january an assembly program, America Yesterday and Today in Books , was presented by mem- bers of the club This was well received by the faculty and the student body, As a special project, a series of educational films have been shown at intervals throughout the year.

Hkmerican Beauty Rosek The French Club was organized this year under the direction of Mr. Cox with the following officers: Loretta Hitchings-President, Martha Sue Riggs-Vice President, Millie Tillett-Secretary, Sherwood Thomp- son-Treasurer, and Edith Darden-Reporter. We have been very interested in the letters we have been writing and receiving from students in Quebec and Montreal, Canada. They helped us very much to learn more about the life of the French people. Our other projects for the year were: Sponsoring a float in the Ocean Bowl Parade, which displayed the patriotic standpoint of Franceg having a party and program at Christmastimeg and presenting an as- sembly program consisting of a quiz show on facts about France. Students from the audience were chosen to participate. Cheerleaders Fifteen rahs for the team! As our cheerleaders went into action at the games, the spectators backed them up. Since there were only two girls left from last year, it was decided that they would be co-captains. They were Joann Hughes and Geraldine Midgett. The student body elected eight more girls to help them cheer the team to victory. They were as follows: Mabel Goble, Dolly Wliite, Sallie Baines, Dorothy Meeks. Frances Speight, Bet Gilbert, Betty Malbon, and Joy Sawyer. Many new yells were made up by the cheerleaders. Their fighting spirit helped to keep our Alma Mater flying high.
