It had a successful and cooperative year with a number of notable accomplishments. The council and officers were chosen by the popular vote of the students. The council was then divided into committees each having a chairman and faculty advisor, so as to create more accomplishments. This method proved very successful. Among the duties of the Student Council were: the regulating of a safety control system throughout the school, the upkeep and improvement of school property, and encouraging anything from which the students might benefit. The aims and objectives of the Student Council for this year were the replacement of the cafeteria tables with new and more modern ones, renovation of the curtains, and curtain equipment.

SAFETY PATROL OFFICERS Captain James Teague Lieutenant Olin Elliott P ' ' aniiliai’ to the eyes of all the students was the sight of some of the members of the Safety Patrol at their posts in the halls between classes and assisting the students in getting on and off the buses. James Teague was elected as Captain in 1941 to succeed Randolph Montgomery, and Olin Elliott was elected Lieutenant to succeed James Teague. A Safety Court was maintained, which cooperated with the Patrol in conducting cases of students who failed to accept the guidance of patrolmen. The court was held regularly, in which advice was given to the students after which they usually con- formed. We had a very efficient staff which was regarded in the highest esteem by the students, and it was through their cooperation that it became so successful. Ten - 3 xMm y .: A � y I i v ' j l ' .

HISTORY A S WE, the Senior class of ’41 prepare to leave the place which has influenced our lives during ' the past four years, our minds and thoughts naturally turn backward — back to the days when we first entered our dear Alma Mater. Memories crowd around us as we turn through the pages. How timid we were as we first came to the brick building which would play such an important part in the framing of our lives! We even had to be told how to walk in the halls! Nevertheless, under the guidance of our Class President, Aileen Smoot, we became adjusted to the initiations, the units in our classes, and our new schedules. As we entered our Sophomore year, our whole attitude on life changed. We felt we had increased greatly in statue. We were no longer looked down upon, for now we were an essential part of the school. We were also permitted to join Clubs. Our Class President was Janies Huggette. Stormy weather came along as we were introduced to our first high school exams but we survived the storm and emerged triumphant Juniors. Our Junior year held many carefree days for we did not have to assume the dignity and accept the responsibility of a Senior; yet we felt more sophisticated and learned than “Rats and Sophs.” Billy Cox was our Class President. Outstanding memories of this year consist of the privilege granted us to sit behind the Seniors in Assembly, and the day our class rings came. We entertained the Seniors with a very successful party. As our Junior year neared the close we made up our minds to study hard and live up to our class motto “No Prize Without a Struggle. September 1941 came soon, and with Billy Cox re-elected as our Class President, we were ready to accept our positions as dignified Seniors. Since our class was so large, sixty-one in number, we had to have two rooms. We had many privileges now tliat the lower classmen did not have. We felt that we really rated the front seats of the auditorium which were reserved for us. After we had again become accustomed to our classes, we elected our annual staff, who worked diligently on our 1941 volume of “The York Chronicle.” We were rewarded by publishing an annual of which we can well be proud. We have now come to the end of the book. The shadows which have momentarily passed before us return to an ever remembered past as we turn our minds to the future. We bid farewell to Poquoson and our high school memories, confident that with such a background we shall succeed. Mary Elizabeth Tabb, Historian. Twenty-Four 1. Most Popular: Hazel and “Teague”. 2.

THE ANNUAL STAFF Cooperation Someone said it was a big job! ! We have been finding that to be true ever since that October morning when the Seniors assembled in the auditorium and elected an annual staff. Each member of the staff tried very hard to do his duty to the best of his ability. We understood perfectly that it was duty, but we’ve learned that it was an interesting one. We tried to so organize oui- finished product that it might recall our school day memories so vividly that it will be a real pleasure now and always. “Cooperation” being our motto, we publish this book hoping that you shall enjoy owning it, and reading it, as we have enjoyed compiling it. Thirty-One THE S. S. S. CLUB President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sponsor OFFICERS Ann Carmines Elizabeth Moore Eloise Wornom Genevieve Eley Miss Ruth Barlow “Sincerely Seeking Success” The S. S. S. Club was the only club in our school which has a constant charter. This, the fourth year of its existence, found a small group of ten girls who were in- terested in Commercial work in school, and as a career, working together for the S. S. S. We tried very hard to follow our motto. Thirty-Two THE GLEE CLUBS GIRLS CLUB OFFICERS BOYS CLUB President JosiE Huggett Vice-President Gloria Hunt Secretary Janette Forrest Treasurer Lorraine Elliott Librarian Berlie Wade Sponsor, . President George Hunt Vice-President Gerald Patesel Secretary Lemuel Ward Treasurer Cecil Evans Librarian John Lemuel Forrest j Shirley “Louder Sofier Sh-sh-sh” With more than four years of successful musical performance behind them the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs of Poquoson High School organized last September to con- tinue the good work and add new laurels to theii ' achievements. A small group from the two clubs received a rating of “good plus” at the State Festival in Richmond last April, and the Girls Glee Club was rated as “excellent.” Shortly before Christmas, the 1940-41 high school choral groups unite d to present a Father’s Day program for the P. T. A., and in chapel provided the musical back- ground for a Christmas tableau. With the Richmond contests, an operetta, and incidental music for various pro- grams, as activities of the clubs, they had, indeed, a busy year. Thirty-Three THE DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICERS President . Billy Cox Vice-President James Huggette Secretary-Treasurer Gladys Moore Sponsor Miss Elizabeth Page “Places, Curtain” — these were familiar words in our dramatics class. Every after- noon during the sixth period the auditorium echoed with such directions, or with the noise of the class members arranging the stage, or with the future actors and actresses declaiming lines. In addition to play acting, public speaking was studied; so many hours were spent in arranging and delivering speeches or reading and learning poems. Finally, with the help of many books on dramatics which were bought by last year’s class, we were able to study fully the history of drama. The class, organized as a club, presented several short plays, Christmas tableaux, and assembly programs. A three-act production, “No Foolin’!” by Katherine Kaua- vaugh was presented. The students organized as a theatrical troupe with everyone having part in the production. In an informal atmosphere each member of the class obtained much toward his goal — to appear in public on all occasions with poise. Thirty-Four NO FOOLIN ' ! “No Foolin’!” It was the best play we have ever given. The characters were: Dinah, a servant in the Burton home, who was a lazy and unconcerned negro girl. She giggled her way successfully through three acts to the final curtain, played by Genevieve Eley; Mr. Burton, a dignified banker played by Cecil Moore; Prunella, his prime and peppery maiden sister, Ruth Lawson; Joan, his romantic daughter. Hazel Morse; Hal Merrick, otherwise Floyd Durrette, was Joan’s conceited fiance; Mrs. Merrick, Hal’s charmingly flirtatious mother played by Audrey Green; Lorraine Elliott took the part of Gail a gay, attractive friend of Joan; Malcolm, a dreamy mannered young man, also a friend of Joan’s was James Huggett. Joan’s other friends included: Molly, Katherine Holloway who had an overly enthusiastic way of talking; Frank, James Teague, who was very crisp and matter-of-fact in manner; and Tom, Eli Gillikin, who was very friendly and easy-going until his temper was aroused. The other characters were: Lupe, a small dark-haired Spanish dancer, otherwise Gladys Moore; Philip Weather- ington, a stranger with the manner and assurance of a gentleman, played by Billy Cox and Mr. Beach, a very hard-boiled stranger who chewed continuously at a cigar, played by Franklin Lawson. The director was Miss Elizabeth Page and Mary Elizabeth Tabb was student direc- tor. Hudson Hansford was stage manager. The business manager was Carrie Benton Smith and Pearl Wilson was her assistant. The stage hands were Bobby Freeman, Freeman Dryden, and Melvin Meadows. The ushers were Ann Forrest, Emily June Bunting, Mary Elizabeth Tabb, Pearl Wilson, and Hudson Hansford. The play proved to be a great success and a new cycloramo was bought with the proceeds. Thirty-Five THE FRESHMAN CHORUS OFFICERS President Bennie Bray Vice-President Cyphroon Crockett Secretary Jimmie Bray Treasurer Dolly Messick Sponsor Miss Anne Shirley “Since sivying is so good a thivg, wish all men would learn to sing.” — IFilliam Byrd The Freshman Chorus was a new and promising- organization in Poquoson High School this year, composed of the best musical talent in the Freshman class. Its aim was music orientation; its greatest pleasure was singing; and according to its sponsor, its best traits were dependability and cooperation. From the entire class a small group was chosen to sing at the state music festival in Richmond. Each candidate was selected on the basis of personality, voice quality, musicianship, and adaptability. And each did his or her part in adding honors to Poquoson’s record of musical achievement. Thirty-Six OFFICERS President John Bunyan Forrest Vice-President Edna Pearl Bunting Secretary Betty Jane Dryden Treasurer JosiE Hall Huggett Sponsor Miss Anne Shirley “A piper in the streets today Set up, and turned, and started to play, And away, away, away on the tide Of his music ive started.” — Seumas O’Sullivan From an apparent overdose of suites and symphonies, interspersed with games of Maestro, to term papers, tests, and the usual “definition of music,” the Ensemble Alle- gro struggled to acquire an appreciation of music. Sometimes the effort was definitely boring, and more often than not the victrola refused to cooperate, but for the most pai ' t, the Language of Music was fun to learn. Thirty-Seven B. S. S. CLUB OFFICERS President Betty Jane Dryden Vice-President . John Bunyan Forrest Treasurer Sarah Martin Secretary William Alfred Carmines Sponsor Miss Mary Morse Way back in October our club obtained its name — quite accidently of course — but we spontaneously agreed that it fitted. “Mum’s the word!’’ Challenging’ any class to produce a group more alive, we endeavored to become not only more appreciati ve of the great pieces of literature of our language but also to de- velop well balanced personalities along all lines. By discussing some phase of personality development during each club meeting, and by mixing in a little fun along with seriousness, we felt that each of us experienced something of lasting value this year. Outstanding events in our social activities were: a skating party, weinei’ roast, and Christmas party. If you should have joined us in the agricultui ' e building any third period, you would also have enjoyed the B. S. S. Club. Thirty-Eight M. M. L. CLUB President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sponsor OFFICERS JosiE Hall Huggett Olin Elliott George Hunt Cecil Evans - Miss Mary Morse Whenever we had a business meeting our president got up and asked: “What shall we have — skating party, bowling’ party, or just a plain party?” The chief objective of our club, however, centered around learning to better express ourselves. We organized a staff and published a trial copy of a school newspaper which we hope to develop into a regular publication in the future. The class as a whole possessed vitality equal to that of the president and a number of skating and bowling parties developed and were greatly enjoyed; naturally. Thirty-Nine THE LATIN CLUBS OFFICERS THE S. L. S. CLUB THE VIGILIAN CLUB President Cecil F. Evans President Albert Insley Vice-President George Hunt Vice-President .... Mary Lucille Wilson Secretary-Treasurer Carolyn Burcher Secretary-Treasurer Edna Pearl Bunting Sponsor Miss Elizabeth Page Since 1937 there has been a Latin Club at P. H. S., the first being’ sponsored by Mr. Topping’, former foreign language instructor. All pupils ’who took Latin were eligible to join the club. The clubs presented pro- grams based on Roman History, Customs of the Romans, or the classical influence upon the ■world. The Latin I and Latin II Clubs united to prepare a Latin Banquet. Those members of the clubs who desired to purchase Latin Club pins did so. Our Latin course emphasized the social values of Latin as an important need of today. Forty LE CERCLE FRANCAIS OFFICERS President Warren Stott Vice-President Archie Riggins Secretary-Treasurer Charlie Hopkins Sponsor . Miss Elizabeth Page “Pour Bien Finir, II Faut Toujours Avoir Bern Commence” Le Cercle Francais was organized in order to better acquaint the French students with the customs and national heroes of the French people. The circle stimulated in- terest in the French language and belief in its maintenance. The French Circle convened twice a month during the fifth period. Betty Jane Dryden, the program chairman, arranged that the boys and girls rotated in presenting the program, as well as in preparing the refreshments. These programs included talks on the eminent French statesmen, authors, painters, and other great men of France. A part of the prescribed club meeting was given over to business affairs, such as the procuring of club pins. The standard club flower being the fleur de Jes and the colors being red, white, and blue the pins bore these emblems. Through such programs and a congenial atmosphere, French students found knowl- edge and pleasure. Forty-One OFFICERS President Durward Watkins Vice-President Aileen Smoot Secretary John Bunyan Forrest Treasurer Lorraine Elliott Sponsor Miss Mary Morse No, this wasn’t the kind of administration you’re thinking of. It wasn’t an ad- ministration at all unless you look at it in the broad sense. The students of American Literature organized themselves for the purpose of — (well we had a lot of reasons) but chiefly to learn to better cooperate as a group. Being a classroom organization we sometimes conducted class proceedure, and acted on all important decisions of business and social nature. Once a month we took time out from classroom routine, on the first Friday, to socialize and to enjoy together a program of class talent. We were, as our motto stated — “Willing — Patient — Alert’’ — , at all times. Forty-Two THE FRESHMAN DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICERS President Bennie Foster Bray Vice-President Jimmie Lee Bray Secretary Hazel Teague Treasurer - - - Cyphroon Crockett Sponsor Miss Gladys Hammontree “Acting is fun when well done” Perhaps the name of this club did not do it justice. Really the club was directly a pupil initiated activity since they wrote, acted, and presented the plays themselves. These plays were correlated with the units studied and much interest was aroused by them. Started by twin brothers, Jimmie Lee and Bennie Foster Bray, because of their ability to write, act and direct plays, and to inspire others, this club proved successful mainly because of the cooperative spirit it engendered in the members. Forty-Three THE FRESHMAN PATRIOTIC CLUB OFFICERS President Dolly Messick Vice-President Emma Jean Montgomery Secretary Ida Ruth Wainwright Treasurer Frances Mills Sponsor Miss Gladys Hammontree “In God Is Our Trust” The Freshman Patriotic Club was organized in the fall by the Freshman Social Studies and Language Arts class. This club, in the programs given every two weeks, emphasized the following facts: that the honor and glory of our country depends on the honor and loyalty of every citizen; that patriotism means every day service; that time and effort should be ex- pended not only for the performance of the varied prescribed duties of a good citizen, but also for the realization of our best ideals, sucb as cooperation, truthfulness, faith- fulness, courtesy, and bravery. Forty-Four HOME ECONOMICS CLUBS OFFICERS Presidents Vice-Presidents. Secretaries Treasurers r Geraldine Crockett I Charline Forrest [ Gloria Hunt f Ada Moore - ■! Anne Wilson 1 Irene Taylor Carrie B. Smith 1 Beulah Carmines 1 Mary Jack Evans ( Loretta Crockett I Oren Watkins “Not for self, but for all” The Home Economics Clubs were organized in the classes and met twice a month. The programs centered around some phase of home-making with all members partici- pating. The clubs worked to improve the home-making department by purchasing new equipment with money earned and by keeping the department in good condition. They also offered opportunity for social contacts through parties and group meetings. Forty-Five THE ART CLUB OFFICERS President Margaret Hunt Vice-President Evelyn Deal Secretary Novella Sue Hunt Treasurer Geraldine Crockett Sponsor Miss Ruth Barlow “To the Stars with Difficulty” Can you draw the proverbial straight line — well, neither could we — without a ruler, but it was fun trying. For that reason we decided to organize a club in which we would not only draw straight lines, but learn to make pictures, belts, bracelets, etc. To our amazement and delight we found several artists in our midst — who might other- wise have sailed blithely through life never recognizing their latent talent. We do not all claim to be artists but we felt that after having had a taste of what the artist goes through to produce a picture, we are better able to appreciate his work. This is the only club of its kind in school, and we are very proud of it. Forty-Six Forty-Seven I ' ' irst row: Kenneth lirown. Duane ( ' liuicli, Olin Klliott.

FOOTBALL OFFICERS Captain Elected Before Each Game Coach Mr. Edward Cox Eleven determined young- men run out on the field and nervously take their posi- tions, calling encouraging- words to each other. Then, a shrill blast of a whistle, the dull thud of a cleated shoe against the ball and the battle has begun. Such was the thrill experienced by the boys who went out to keep the Poquoson High colors flying- high. Composed mostly of veterans and experienced players this year’s team turned in a very ci-editable season. The spirit and competitiveness shown by the boys promise bright things for the next football campaign. Billy Cox showed everyone this year that you really can’t “keep a good man down.” Injured seriously early in the season Billy was confined to the hospital. His recovery and return to school was more than cause for celebration. The graduating players wish the best of luck to the boys returning next yeai-. Forty-Eight Left to right: John T.

BOYS BASKETBALL OFFICERS Captain John Bunyan Forrest Coach Mr. Edward Cox Assistant Coach Mr. Archie Topping Excitement and plenty of it! Poquoson High School’s basketball team headed straight to triumph. The hard work of the boys in practice brought its reward when Poquoson downed its rivals. Never conceding a victory and fighting for every point seemed to be the policy this year. Boosting a capable and experienced team, Poquoson met all comers. With the hardwood rebounding the running feet, the rafters echoing to the crowds’ excited yells, the gymnasium seemed to rock on its foundations. The scene of the boys in action, the swish of netting as a goal was made, the patter of the ball being dribbled by expert hands seemed to invite even more feverish excitement. Hard fought victories and sometimes defeats, but even when the “Maroon and Gold” lost the spirit was still there and the team never gave up. Forty-Nine THE GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM Captain Carrie Smith Coach Mr. Edward Cox Assistant Coach Mr. Archie Topping Will we be Peninsula Champs again? How’s our teamwork? Where’s our spirit? These questions found the girls this year as basketball season opened. Under Captain Carrie Benton Smith, a group of new girls for the first time on the varsity team started off the season with a 29-12 win over George Wythe. The schedule looked thus; Score Date Team We They December 18 George Wythe 29 12 January 22 Morrison 18 19 January 28 George Wythe 45 17 January 31 St. Vincents 26 30 February 4 Toano 35 13 February 11 Toano 23 5 February 14 St. Vincents 49 18 February 21 Morrison 15 36 February 26 George Wythe 40 14 It was a great sport ! !
