Poquoson High School, loved by all! Listen to what we say, Throughout the rooms and all the halls, We’ re passing day by day. Hail, Poquoson High School! While our last goodbyes we sing, Hear our thundering voices, For our school our praises ring. Oh, Poquoson High School ! The center of all our fun, We’ll think of the pleasures we’ve had here, After our work is done. Helen Jennings PAGE 3 1 The York Chronicle 1937 The Odyssey of the Senior Class We, the Senior Class of 1937, after four years of toil have at last achieved our victory. Back in September, 1933, we as a class commenced to exist with a roll call of sixty-six. We felt that we had a very steep ladder to climb before we reached the top. I he Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classes sometimes tried to discourage us because we were just Freshmen; but, we pressed forward with a firm determination, and when June came we were elated over the fact that we would be Sophomores when we returned to school. The following September, 1934, we had lost some of our classmates, and there were only sixty-one on roll. We were glad to be back and proud of the fact that we were no longer lowly Rats but Sophomores. In our new dignity “we put away childish things, and tried to master Algebra, History, and English because we were so anxious to become Juniors. When September, 1935 came anti we started to school as Juniors, we had only forty-nine members of our class. We had looked forward to becoming Juniors because of the events which usually took place during the year. The Juniors and Seniors had been telling us of the good times they had at the Junior-Senior parties, and of the entertainments given for these classes. Now we were nearing, what we had worked so diligently to become — a Senior at Poquoson High School. We had always envied die Seniors because they always had more privileges than any other class. At last, September, 1936, we enrolled as Seniors with forty-three members of our class. The first months ol the term we had plenty of fun, but from December to February, most of us spent our spare time in preparation for our annual. What fun we had in gathering material and having our pictures taken ! And then comes Commencement! We thrill to think that the time is almost here. But there is sadness too, in the thought that in so short a time all these classmates, whom we’ve grown to know and love, will be going their various ways, and the class of 1937 will be a thing of the past. Although we are glad to receive our diplomas and to take our part in the game of life, we feel a deep regret in leaving old Poquoson High School; but we will always remember that our happiest days were spent here. Caroline Lawson ’37. PAGE 32 The York Chronicle 1937 Oracle Speaks hope all ye that enter here. ” It was midnight — eight hours before the examination on the Shakespearean tragedy in English IV. Hamlet, was exchanging death for dissatisfaction. I repeated again the dates, ‘‘1564-1616. Finally, after many a yawn I gave up the ghost. I suppose I must have dreamed. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is station F A T E, Jeffs, Virginia, broadcasting the vitaphone picture, ‘The Review of ’37.’ We trust that your dial is clear, and that you will both see and hear the play with pleasure. It is now eight o’clock, Friday, December 13, 1950. Thank you. Bob Downey then appeared upon a pointed stage as master of ceremonies. After announcing that, the play was a por- trayal of the accomplishments of the members of the class of ’37 at Poquoson High School, he quoted — as if especially to me — from my old friend Shakespeare: All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players.” In a procession, the playmakers, my classmates, presented themselves. Softly and sweetly the tones of music began to swell in my ears as harmonious chords brought forth Among My Souvenirs.’ Caroline Lawson and Mary Carmines at the pianos were giving the prelude, as they were to accompany the playmakers. The curtain slowly rose, and there way up in the sky hung William Weston, an astronomer, cry- ing, O Myra, thou art the moon.” Through the mist come Dorothy Moore, posing as a teacher of Classroom Behavior.’’ Gray Forrest and Dixie Blackman appeared side by side in their own science laboratory. Gray was trying to prove to Dixie that love made the world go “round.” It used to be ‘square’.” Lawyer Kathleen White was well situated in the bar, since she found constant work in pleading for a certain Robert Forrest. W. K. Forrest and .Nan Moore came in on a bicycle, announcing bankruptcy. They had tried to make a fortune selling Latin, French, and Geometry books to Poquoson’s graduates. The scene changed, and I saw James Moore and Leonard Moore in the jungles of Africa sweeping cobwebs off the coconuts. I have heard recently that they went to the uninhabited section of that country to take practice lessons in voice. Larleen Quinn and Philip Topping appeared just a few miles beyond the Greene section” v here it was revealed that they were on a walking trip of the world for reduction of — prices, maybe. My old Latin friend, Florence Holloway, was sitting around with a Uke” in her hands, accom- panying the chords of her own philosophical note. Geneva Forrest, counting her fingers — oh, yes, tracing relationship with Lemuel. But hack of it all, though, she is city librarian in Messick, Virginia. Quickly a contrast flashed as I peeped into the cozy home of Mary Virginia Thomas, who was at that hour entertaining Linda Mae Greene and Vernell Forrest — they having attained fame in the movie world. They were at the time seeking information for their next picture, She Got Her Man.” Was that Helen Jennings? If it was, she was a home economics teacher supervising in a kitchen. Rather sadly, though, it was a college kitchen. A peep behind the bars then explained why some of our classmates could not participate In the review. Blinkty — blank, I missed that pose. Maybe it was Vernie Freeman, using the first steps of Char- leston as a method cf enlightenment to little children. Perhaps it was Irella Lawson, spilling ink on somebody ' s eyebrows. She always did want to he a beauty specialist. I don’t know, but I reckon the curtain was pulled for change of scenes. It was worth it. The second act opens in a Greek cafeteria. In walked Dr. Edward Lindsay, Superintendent of Schools of York County. Going over to his usual table, he surprisingly greeted Dr. George Hogge, physician of financial ills” and patches. The Professionals enjoyed that meal — but now they tell me, they are souping” together. The head of the democratic donkey soon became apparent. He was enjoying usual happiness, simply being “pushed” by farmer Tommy Insley. Get set,” and John Borowski said, Go.” A track coach gets his pay also. With hands clasped and lips curved Martha Lawson was informing her students as to the latest pronunciation a” and a”. Robert Lindsay simply asked, Would there he anything else today? Special reduction on gas at Lindsay’s Filling Station. Caroline Freeman with her brush was attracting daily throngs to her studio to witness her latest hit in painting, Poquoson River.” Mary Pearl Ferguson and Ethelyn Insley posed by their typewriters in the Treasurer’s office at Messick, Virginia. “Now hush, that letter is a,” I recognized these words from the school room of Cora Rand. Do, ti, la, sol, fa, ml, re, do” I recognized Flossie Forrest’s voice. Carl Moore presented to his fellow classmates the latest editorial of his monthly journal, Married Life.” Did Edith Forrest influence the naming of her husband’s magazine? I believe Edith was doing light house keeping. Arlene Hunt was relating the points of fast driving and such. Not yet has she soothed the broken heart of a love-sick patient. I next looked into the Library at Poquoson. There in a round table discussion on disciplinary affairs, sat Lottie Richardson, Louise Dawson and Louise Hopkins. These girls in the man-less pro- fession were now determining the fate of our little Juniors.” My classmates joined in a final chorus, We’re Sitting at the Foot of the Rainbow,” Harken, classmates, who knows? A lie may be the truth. The f o Abandon PAGE 33 The York Chronicle 1937 The Senior Creed We, the class of 1937, have traveled together, through sunshine and shadow, for the past four years, the path of high achievements. Sometimes we tired of the care- less efforts, but, as a whole, we had a pleasant journey. As the time draws close, when we are about to enter the Highway of Life, we feel that we should turn our thoughts toward those things in which we believe, the things which have been our beacon light. First, and above all, we believe in God our Creator and Heavenly Father. We believe in our country, as a free and independent nation. We believe in Virginia, our beloved State. May we remain true to the principles of the Old Dominion. We believe in our beloved High School, of which each one of us holds the fondest memories. We believe in the student body which has done much to establish better citizen- ship in our school. We believe in Mr. Thomas, our principal, who has given us courage when we needed it. We believe in our teachers who have stood by us so faithfully through the years. We believe in Miss Moore, our sponsor, who has done much to make our annual, “York Chronicle,” possible this year. We believe in our annual, “York Chronicle”; may it continue its progress in the future. Finally, we beli eve in our class, and in our motto. May our motto, “Each for the Other, All for Success,” ever be remembered, andi brighten our future years. IRELLA LAWSON ’37. ▼ Senior Dictionary ▼ Dunno.

PAGE 37 The York Chronicle 1937 Farewell Address Mr. rhomas, Faculty, Classmates, Fellow Students, and Friends: 1 he hour of our graduation has almost come. We stand on the threshold of a new life, striving to drag aside the dim curtain of the iuture, in order to catch some glimpse of all that the world has to offer. It is difficult to speak of our years here; they have meant more to us than we can ever express. Our learning from books means much to us, but no t near as much as our friendships formed, and our spirit of happi- ness, and good fellowship. W e now wish to express our deepest appreciation for the varied op- portunities available to us, though there may have been moments of seem- ing ungrateful. We bid goodbye to you, Miss Moore. You, as our class adviser have been the best friend any class ever had, and have helped us more than you can ever know; we pledge to you our loyalty, our love, our best. We say goodbye to all the members of the faculty with a deep sense of obligation. To you, Junior Class, we entrust all of our traditions and our love for Poquoson High School. We hope that you may uphold the standards which we have set forth in our motto. “Each for the Other, All for Success.” We say to the new life with courage, “Hail”; to the old with sad- ness, “Farewell.” Florence Holloway ’37.

The first long year, when we started out, w e never guessed how it would he; To have finished four years at P. H. S. And then be at liberty. The second year, we were sophomores, We seemed to take more pride. We wanted more than ever then to reach the goal for which we strived. The third year when we started out, The class was somewhat smaller; But, we struggled on for that one year, With good old Alma Mater. Our last year, and the best year; We had a class of forty-three, Some say you don’t have to study then, But it’s no fun, believe me. Now we are ended at old P. H. S., We leave with the future ahead, We hope that each may win in his work, And be crowned with success in the end. Arlene Hunt ’37.
