Senior Class The York Chronicle. 1936 Senior Class History As wc, the class ol 1936, prepare for graduation, many memories return to us of the happy days spent at Poquoson High School. First as Freshmen, we prepared for a year of hard, unusual work, e were half frightened, and yet determined to make our class one to be remembered. Along with the other activities of High School life, we had to take the usual amount of teasing which is given to “rats.” In spite of this, however, we enjoyed our first year. I ' he lollowing September 1933 we returned to school, glad to he hack and proud of the fact that we were no longer “rats” but Sophomores. This year for the first time we had Student Government and each room elected representatives. We also had May Day Exercises and Mary Top- ping, one of the Sophomores, won the honor of being crowned May Queen. Again in September 1934 we came back to school as Juniors. For our officers we had Mary Topping, president; Ashton Carmines, Vice- president; and Nelson Martin, secretary and treasurer. Our motto was “Not at the top but climbing” ; our colors were maroon and gold, and our flower was the sweet pea. Being interestetl in social activities we enter- taineil the Seniors at Buckroe Beach. We had Mr. Moore as our home room teacher. In September 1935 we came back as dignified Seniors. Our class officers are: Ashton Carmines, President; Neva Burcher, Vice-President; Mary Topping, Secretary, and Mary Milla Hunt, Treasurer. Our motto is “Quitters never win, winners never quit.” Our colors are blue and gold. In our graduating class there are forty-four girls and boys. Miss Hunt, our sponsor, has worked with us throughout our four years of High School life. As Seniors at Poquoson High School we were not given the privilege of marching out the front door but instead, we used the side door. Although at times we have had to face problems that were not so easily solved, yet our light-heartedness has kept us afloat until we have reached the port of receiving our Diplomas. We feel that our labors have brought us to this goal. We soon will have passed from our High School. May we live worthily of the seal placed upon us by our Alma Mater. “We ' re oft tor life’s journey. Our sails are all set, Fhy precepts and teachings We shall not forget; We’ll b ravely sail onward, d o dare and to do. But often we’ll dream Alma Mater, of you.” Rosanna Hunt ’36. PAGE 32 a The York Chronicle, 1936 Senior Prophecy Lights! Noise! Excitement! This was a part of Atlantic City, the “playground of the world.’’ I, too, was a part of it, but oh, what a small part! I was just one more of those eager persons, drinking in as much excitement as I could. Dancing, water performances, and breath-taking acrobatic stunts were among the various incidents which I saw while on the Steel Pier. I sat entranced, watching among the other spectators for what seemed a short time but was really several hours. After leaving the pier, I had luncheon with a friend. We then decided to take a stroll down the board walk. While walking, my friend told me that she had had her fortune told that morning by a Hindu Clairvoyant and asked if I wouldn’t like to have mine told. The idea pleased me, as I had been planning for some time to find out where my former classmates were and what they were doing. We went immediately to the tent where fortunes were told. Inside, a dark man, dressed in Hindu costume, sat at a small table. Upon our entrance he rose and asked me to be seated at the table opposite him. After doing so he again seated himself and I explained what I was interested in learning from him. He said that he was sure he could tell me about my classmates, and at the same time took a small globe from the table at which we were seated. He gazed into the globe several minutes and then began : “You were a member of the graduating class of ' 36 at Poquoson High School. I believe there were -14 members in your class and each is prosperous. I see a young merchant in my globe whose name is Jack Dryden. He has a store of his own in Jeffs, Virginia, and is doing well in the business. “I see very dimly a hospital. Oh, yes, it is becoming clear now and I can see the operating room. There is a specialist from Chicago whose name is Mary Milla Hunt. She is about to perform a major operation which will be successful. Also around the table are two internes whose names appear to be H. S. Forrest and Kelsor Hunt. They are all of your class.’’ Of course they were of my class. I could remember them well. The clairvoyant continued: ‘ ‘1 can see a small brown-eyed girl. She seems to be very industrious. Her home is in Messick, Virginia, and her name is Mrs. David Hopkins, the former Mary Topping.” Imagine, Mary Topping married. Pauline McPherson, Edgar Wornom. and Vivian Moore are employed at the Quality Service Com- pany. Alese White is a popular Court Reporter for the United States Supreme Court and Robert Hud- gins is a popular young attorney at Richmond, Virginia. They were all very prominent in their work, he informed me. “Now we’ll go to Hollywood,” he stated. “Hollywood!” I exclaimed, “Do you mean to say that some of my classmates are employed in Hollywood?” “They certainly are,” he continued, “because I see in my magic globe where Lorraine Harris is now a film star. She was one of your classmates, wasn’t she?” “Lorraine Harris? Why she certainly was,” I replied, “for I felt at once that this was the same one. Are there any others of my class in Hollywood?” I asked. “Yes,” the Hindu declared, “Frances Hornsby is now a script girl and Fred Williams is a well known director. Gladys Cox is the head operator of the Elinor Beauty Saloon of which Elinor Spar- rer is the proprietress. The beauty shoppe is the largest in Hollywood,” he said. “Among her other beauty operators are Annie Shields and Rosemary Phillips.” The fortune teller then took an ordinary looking piece of cloth from the table and appeared to be wiping the globe. After doing this, he again fixed his eyes upon the globe and continued: ‘ ‘Marvin Greene, Edward Hall, and Johnie Dawson are exporters of fish to various places abroad. For awhile William Greene was in this business too, but he gave up this vocation for the study of law. While at law school he met two more of his classmates, Elmer Ensley and Ashton Carmines who had decided to become G-Men. They are successful, and are now working on the ‘Maltic Case’.” Your class can boast of two great authoresses. They are Neva Burcher and Elizabeth Howie. Miss Burcher’ s latest book is “The First Lady,” while Miss Howie’s is “Annie Adams.” “Lorraine Smith is at present a member of the faculty of the State Teachers College in Fredericks- burg while Dorothy Wilson, Doris Bunting, and Gracie Messick are members of the Poquoson High School faculty. Earl Freeman is the Superintendent of the York County Schools.” The more I learned the more interested I became. I forgot my surroundings. I thought only of my classmates. “What about Wallace Quinn, Vane Thomas, and Lorine Forrest?” I asked, curiously. “I shall come to them,” he assured me. “They are all employed in New York City. Vane is a photographer with Lorine Forrest as his assistant. Wallace Quinn is the proprietor of the largest hotel in the city.” ‘ ‘A number of your classmates have become radio entertainers. Among them are Jessie Fay For- rest who is of the Firestone radio program with Nelson Eddy; Woodrow Byrum and Jessie Barco are announcers; Bill Dwney impersonates the late humorist “Will” Rogers; Wilbur Quinn and his “South- ern Troubadors” are soon to journey to Hollywood to film a picture.” What had Rosanna Hunt done, I wondered. He seemed to have read my thoughts because at that moment he said, “Rosanna Hunt is manager of a fashionable dress shoppe at Miami, Fla. Nelson Martin is manager and Elsie Moore and Lila Westcott are modeling the latest fashions.” There were only two more to learn about, Robert Hornsby and Floyd Forrest. Robert, he told me had from the day of his graduation from William and Mary College worked for the Amoco Oil Com- pany and was now President of this concern. Floyd Forrest, he said, was author of a well-known comedy which is now being played on Broadway. This was all. I was no longer in the dark about my classmates, but I was in a daze. I paid the clairvoyant and walked out of the tent with my friend. Out into excitement, noise, and light once more. I was soon in the midst of the happy crowd but at the time I was not in Atlantic City but back in Poquoson High School with all of my wonderful class friends. CATHERINE ENSLEY ’36. PAGE 33 The York Chronicle, 1936 a Creed The loyal class of 1936 proclaims to you the beliefs that strengthen our class spirit and bind us to our school and to each other. Above all things, we believe in God our maker and best friend. W e believe in our High School and the educational advantages that it offers. We bel ieve in our enthusiastic principal, Mr. Thomas, and we sin- cerely appreciate his every effort to further our education and happiness. We believe in our school faculty and the principles they have instilled in our characters. We believ e in our treasured Annual, which will always bring us happy memories of our school days. We believe in our class motto, “Quitters never win, winners never quit.” w e believe in our own beloved Senior Class and we feel assured that if we follow the guidance of the school we will develop into the best of citizens. ITis is our creed and we believe these faiths shall enable us to press on with courage, meet obstacles with endurance, and conquer through perseverance. Jflsie Moore ’36. A Farewell It was eleven years ago we started, Ivach of us was so light hearted. For it was our first day in school We went there and learneil every rule. Fivery day something new we’d learn. Not a thing did we get that we didn’t earn. It was hard work and study that put us here. We’ve earned every credit we’ll get this year. e’ve climbed a little higher each year. And when we think of parting It brings a tear. We took many hard knocks and kicks. Before we became the class of ’36. Our time is growing very short And we all hate to have to part. But we must follow the old rule. And say, “Farewell Poquoson High School.” And now, dear friends, we’ve reached the end; Our farewell greetings we extend .And say with hearts that sadly sigh — School, schoolmates, teachers, a fond good-bye. Fdizabeth Howie ’36. 2 PAGE 34 The York Chronicle, 1936 Last Will and Testament of Senior Class ’36 As we, the Senior Class of 1936, finish successfully our course in Poquoson High School where we have spent four very happy years, we feel that it is necessary to make our last will and testament.

Forrest T Class Inventory ' W After having taken a close and searching inventory of our educational assets and properties, we find the following accumulation of knowledge carefully stowed away in the dusty recesses of the brains of the class of 1936. -Spelling — Small collection of familiar words; for all others the dictionary is con- sulted. Reading — Fairly large collection of words found in up-to-date stories can be read with ease if not eloquence. Arithmetic — Examples involving the spending of money can be worked without difficulty; those concerned with the saving of money are seldom mastered. Grammar — Most of the rules grown rusty and weak through long- disuse. Geography — Rather hazy on all except local spots that are desirable for picnics, camping, and boating trips. History — A good supply of -stories and general outlines, but weak on dates and foreign names. Civil Government — Good supply of practical knowledge, this having been acquired by the boys and girls who desire to become members of Congress and other public bodies. Geometry — This knowledge is mostly reposing undisturbed in the books from which it was supposed to be gleaned, the lines and angles having failed to penetrate the bony structure surrounding the brains of the class. Algebra — The knowledge of this subject is confined largely to an acquaintance with the letters x, y, and z. Ancient History — Too out-of-date to be of any use. English — Impressive collection w-ell colored with modern slang. Latin — A dead loss — even all interest in it having died. With this supply of information the Senior class leaves High School.
