Indians calledthis territory The Land of the Eternal Fog. Since there have been educational institutions in this immediate area from the beginning of our colonial history, it is appropriate to refer to the school, which brings enlightenment from the beginning of one ' s education to full development, as a Beacon which by its light guides people from a fog to glorious brilliance. ONANCOCK HIGH SCHOOL Onancock, Virginia DL ecicon To one who has shown unfailing willingness to help her pupils and our school in every way; because of her devotion, interest and guidance; to Mrs. Mary K.

We felt we had a long, hard road ahead, especially since the lZth grade had been added. Joan Obaugh was elected Presidentof the Freshman Class; Gay Walter, Vice President; Benny Dize, Secretary; and Polly Bundick, Treasurer. We had much fun along with the hard work. The climaxing event of the year was a barn dance and weenie roast held at the Mullen farm which we thoroughly enjoyed. The next year found us well adjusted to high school. With Mrs. Booth as our home room teacher we settled down to work. The Sophomore President was Polly Bundick; Vice President, Hope Mullen; Secretary, Barbara Evans; and Treasurer, Dick Burton. Even though we were unable to have any outstanding events of our own that year, we thoroughly enjoyed the numerous school events. The Football, Basketball and Family Ball was originated that year. Championship teams were supplied by the able members of our class. We could now feel that we were an essential part of our school. We entered our Junior year with gre at expe ctations . Mrs . Booth was again our home room teacher. Officers were elected as follows : President, Joan Obaugh; Vice President, Gay Walter; Secretary, Patty Chance; and Treasurer, Bobby Northcott. Our days were busy ones ! We sold Christmas cards, pennants, stationery, held bakes and did various other things in order to supply our treasury with sufficient funds for the many nice things we had planned. In February we produced our first play, Bill ' s Night Out, and were surprised as well as proud of its huge success. We again enjoyed the Football, Basketball and Family Ball which has become an annual event. We were also proud of the Championship football and baseball teams , comprised largely of boys from our class. The usual joy came from receiving our class rings. The main event of theyear was the Junior-Senior Prom. We had worked hard to make this occasion possible and we hope that the class of ' 51 enjoyed it as much as we. In 1950 we, as a group of 26 entered high school in September for the last time. Mrs. Booth stepped up with us to guide us through our Senior year. Our President was Polly Bundick; Vice President, Bill Eazenby; Secretary, Joan Obaugh; Treasurer, Dick Burton. We started the year off with a bang by traveling in a bus to Charlottesville where we saw a football game, (U. Va. vs G. W. U. ) and visited several historical shrines. After the fun, however, we had to get down to work. Now that we were Seniors we realized that we had a heavy burden on our shoulders. The Annual had to be published and our play produced. We presented The Real Mr. McCoy inDecember. We had doneitagain. it was a huge success ! ! During the usual hustle and bustle which preceeded Graduation, we took time off to attend the beautiful Junior-Senior Prom, given in our behalf. It was truly enjoyed as well as appreciated. Class Night, Baccalaureate and lastly Graduation, came quicker than we had expected. Some were glad, some sad; but, whatever the case may be, the curtain has gone down on an important phase of our lives. The fun we had and the friends we made at our Alma Mater will never be forgotten. POLLY BUNDICK C iaAA J4idtor V were initiated into Mrs. Belote ' s 8th grade in 1946 , 13 A emor In Onancock, Virginia the home of our dear Alma Mater, we are sorry to say there aren ' t many of our school-day friends.

Young Florist Shoppe is now doing a very large business on the Shore. Dorothy Ashby is raising little Brocks - and we don ' t mean candy bars. Patty Chance, having become a successful secretary, is now taking care of Bill ' s business. Mrs. Clayton Evans , formerly Miss Lois Courtney, has stopped work atChincoteague Navel Base and is concentrating on housework. Carolyn Custis, now Mrs. Billy Gene Trader, is very happily married and residing at Harborton. Mrs. N. S. (Barbara) Nelson, III is raising cats, dogs, horses, and last -but not least- little Sammys. Nancy H. Lilliston has finally gotten Jack to settle down long enough to get married. Joan and Johnny Kellam have opened a fashionable beach resort at Silver Beach. Gay Walter, the girl from R. M. W. C. , has decided to practice law in Oklahoma to be near a certain guy named Bill. Jean Williams, a graduate of Duke University, is now living at Mears, with her hubby, Dick, and their two mischievous children. Joan Mason is a very successful New York model but it is rumored that she may return to the Shore. Lucy Lewis is now happily married to Preston Tawes.
