REFEREilCE tamcie NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY-TWO Volume Eight MARGARET HUNT, Editor-in-Chief EDNA PEARL BUNTING, Business Manager MRS. ELIZABETH SMITH, Sponsor ★ Published by The Senior Class of Poquoson High School Jeffs, Virginia , uuuOSON PUBLIC LIBRARY 500 CITY HALL AVENUE. POQUOSON, VA 23662 ' NV ' N j ' • V. In a time when loyalty is essential — loyalty to country, to school, to parents, or high ideals — we present this record of school activities with the hope that as you turn its pages you will find hap- piness in recalling how the students of Poquoson kept loyal in ' 42. We have come to the end of our school year. We have worked hard, but there are those who have toiled and sacrificed for us to a greater extent than we were capable. We have tried to do our very best, but they are the ones who have en- couraged and inspired us. We have been interest- ed in our own achievement, but they have had our chief interests at heart, and, if we have been suc- cessful, it is they who have made our success possible. Our love and appreciation for them shines as we dedicate our book to i)i)ii pfliiEiirs FOUR To those who stand behind us, ever ready to lend a helping hand, we say, Thanks , and pledge our loyalty anew. SIX Principal ' s Message ★ In periods of strain and tribula- tion such as confront us now, each one should assume his obligation to do his part, remembering always that a character beyond reproach is man ' s greatest contribution to society.

The council, whose president is Olin Elliott, vice president, Cecil Evans, and secretary-treasurer, Albert Insley, with the help of Mr. Thomas continued to function as the students ' project serving the pupils in every way possible. The student council with the help of the students presented funds at Christmas to the Community Chest, helped with the safety patrol, the march of dimes, and encouraged in every way things by which the students would benefit.

SAFETY PATROL To the students on the campus and on the buses the safety patrol meant the voice of authority, but although everyone respected its name, the safety patrol did not overdo its power. Led by Captain Olin Elliot, and Lieutenant Gerald Patesel, the safety patrol was composed of nineteen members — chosen from both the Junior and Senior classes. Each member took his duty and responsibility very seriously and tried to make our school one of the cleanest and most orderly on the peninsula.

Or may it be clear. In our memories you will Always rate Ace High, But to you now We say Good-bye. JOYCE ISABELLE TAYLOR TWENTY-THREE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ROGRESS! We, too, hove mode great progress during the four years since we first knocked • on the door to higher learning. Eighty-two faint-hearted freshmen, then, we struggled with science, math, social studies and language arts. Our class president was Betty Walthall, and our home room teachers were Miss Hammontree, Mr. Cox, and Mr. Kirchmier. June, 1939, came, went, and we left our studies for the pleasures of vacation time. In September, 1939, we returned, a bit more confident and self-reliant, some of us to worry over algebra, biology, social studies and language arts, latin, and the like. We elected Cecil Evans as president of our class of seventy-nine boys and girls. Still, we survived the nine months of toil and gained a brief respite. In September, 1940, we assembled as proud juniors, gathering at the dear old school to again grapple with knowledge. Bookkeeping baffled some, while others toiled over history; but persistent application won victories for most of us. George Hunt was elected president, and proved to be a success at the Junior-Senior banquet. A third time, it was all over. The next year we were back, now some fifty-three strong. We were a bit more serious- minded and dignified, each one reolizing that it was his last year at the dear old Alma Mater. We struggled and toiled over American government, English grammar and literature, geometry, and other subjects. George Hunt was again elected president of the good work he had done the year before. However, study was mixed with other responsibilities and pleasures. There was the annual to produce. We elected Margaret Hunt as editor-in- chief, with one of our home room teachers, Mrs. Elizabeth Page Smith, as sponsor. The Student Government, Olin Elliott, President, had charge of the Chirstmas fund, Christmas seals, tuberculosis spangles, and other things. The Dramatics play, entitled Don ' t Take My Penny , proved to be a big success, and all enjoyed it. We were very nicely entertained by the Junior Class and everyone had a grand time. And now, the day of reckoning-Graduation Day-when our high school work is completed, and we feel just pride surge within us as we received our well earned diplomas. Each feels in his heart that it has been a task well done. NOVELLA SUE HUNT TWENTY-FOUR SENIOR CLASS MIRROR 1. Most Popular: Ada and Albert. 2. Prettiest and Most Handsome; Louise and Henry. 3.

We know, however that it was a big responsibility, but we made it seem like fun for we all worked to- gether — each sharing the responsibility. Early in the year we chose Loyalty as our theme, partly because of the crisis which our country is now facing. It has been a most pleasurable task, and we shall be rewarded to the greatest extent if, as you read this book, you find pleasure also. THIRTY-ONE THE DRAMATIC CLUB “To Hold A Mirror Up To Nature” Heads Up! Shoulders Erect! These are the words which Mrs. Smith (our director) kept repeating this year, and by the end of the year were very familiar to us. This year we have had much fun practicing plays, pantomining, etc. Our leaders were Oren Watkins, Louise Moore, Olin Elliott. When we had to use the stage we would hold our meetings in the auditorium. On other days we used a classroom, where we took notes on posture, lighting the stage, the theater, (portable and permanent equipment), and all different types of comedy, character, or tragedy plays. The climax of the club was to give a play, called Dont Take My Penny. THIRTY-TWO DON ' T TAKE MY PENNY A hush hod settled over the audience in the auditorium of Poquoson High School around eight o ' clock on the night of Friday, March 20. The lights went off, and the maroon curtain slowly opened. A beautiful living room scene met the eyes of everyone, and amid the ahs of appreciation the comedy, Don ' t Take My Penny , presented by the Dramatic Class was on. Then, for two hours seventeen boys and girls did their best to amuse and please the audience which reacted in the expected ways with laughter, suspense, and applause. In addition to the cast there were twelve boys and girls who, as student director, stage manager, business manager, and ushers, helped Mrs. Smith produce the play. Everyone enjoyed sharing in a task well done. THIRTY-THREE THE GLEE CLUBS “Loiider-Softey-Sh-h-h” Since the organization of the boys ' and girls ' glee clubs of Poquoson High School six years ago, the motto has remained the same, but this year it has been much harder to live up to than ever before. Due to crowded conditions in the entire school, the glee clubs were detailed to the cafeteria to do most of their practicing amid the banging of pans in the kitchen, and the ever-present odor of frying meat. More than once, the rattle of pop bottles seemed more in tune than the singers. The president of the boys ' club was Wallie Gene White, while Edna Pearl Bunting was president of the girls ' club. Miss Shirley was our sponsor and music teacher. Each club met separately for most of the year, but practiced together for the Richmond Festival Music; and the clubs combined for the P. T. A., Father ' s Night, Christmas Program, and numerous chapel programs throughout the term. THIRTY-FOUR S. S. S. CLUB “Sincerely Seeking Success’’ The S. S. S. Club is now in its fourth year and bids fair to keep right on. It is the oldest organization of its kind in Poquoson High School. This club was established in 1939 and only advanced shorthand students are eligible for membership. Our officers were Novella Sue Hunt, Margaret Hunt, Evelyn Deal, and our sponsor was Miss Ruth Barlow. During the year group discussions were held on subjects of special interest to the potential secretaries. The eight are among the several thousand Future Secretaries of America, but had our social side, too. Through the year we planned bowling, skating, and theatre parties, and had good times together. THIRTY-FIVE VICTORY CLUB The History IV Class under Miss Elizabeth Cutler organized at the beginning of the year. William Alfred Carmines was elected our president and our other officers were Annabelle Lanahan and Margaret Meredith. The purpose of the club was to promote victor- ious ideas among our fellow students. The club met every other Monday, and current events were presented by each one. In this way the members became accustomed to world affairs. Due to the outbreak of the war we found that we had chosen a very appropriate name. THIRTY-SIX W. S. T. C. “We Study to Couquer” With an interest in English literature from the English epic Beowulf to our present day John Masefield, the W. S. T. C. was formed. Deriving its name from its motto, the students formed the club with enthusiasm. Harry Lee Holloway was elected president while other officers elected were: Jerry Freeman, Nell Clark and Betty Wathall. Miss Cutler, our teacher, sponsored the club. During the year, we have planned various amusements as well as being entertained by Shakespeare ' s more serious Macbeth. Club meetings were scheduled twice each month. It goes without saying that these were enjoyed by all. THIRTY-SEVEN THE OFF-BEAT CLUB ‘ ' Dot-Dot-Dot-Dash ” From the rhythm of Beethoven ' s Fifth Symphony comes our motto, the symbol for victory, and music demonstrates its versatility by appearing in the first lists of the march of freedom. During the year, with Miss Shirley as our sponsor and Margaret Lee Insley, Bennie Foster Bray, Ella Moore as our officers, in addition to mastering some technical knowledge, we have paid particular attention to the music of various radio programs, and much time was spent listening to records. In November the members of the club were the guests of the Bray twins at the Noval Warfare School for the movie version of The Mikado. THIRTY-EIGHT A. W. A. “Silence Is Golden’’ The purpose of our new and promising club is strictly confidential, and we can ' t tell as painted out by our motto, (you don ' t get it). Our leaders in this undertaking are: president, Ray Carmines; vice-president, Syphron Crockett; secretary-treasurer. Gene Rollins; and our sponsor is Miss C. Richardson. Because our beloved Socrates so wisely said, Be moderate in all things, we are striving to obey him, even when it means cutting down on history as- signments. THIRTY-NINE THE LATIN CLUBS Latinus Sodatus Virgillian Club “Ant Doce Ant Disce Ant Discede” Twice a month the two Latin classes led by our presidents, Jerry Freeman and Albert Insley, and our sponsor, Mrs, Smith, joyfully abandoned text books and turned the classes into clubs. The purpose of the clubs was to keep in touch with Roman life. Programs were based on Roman customs, mythology, and the life of Julius Caesar. Occasionally they took a humorous turn such as a program based on Modern Hercules when we introduced the strong men of the funnies! Or else, since there were some of our members interested in dramatics, we acted out scenes from the play Julius Caesar by Shakespeare. In this way we helped show the connection between Roman and modern life. FORTY LES CAMARADES “All Coeiir Vaillant Rien Impossible” Les Camarades, meaning friends, was organized in order to better acquaint the French students with the customs and national heroes of the French people. Les Camarades convened twice a month during the second period with Charlie Hopkins as president, Margaret Meredith as vice-president, Kathleen Carmines as secretary-treasurer, and Miss G. Hammontree as sponsor. The program chairman arranged to have someone to help he.r plan the programs, as well as prepare refreshments. These programs included talks on eminent French statesmen, authors, painters, and other great men. A part of the prescribed club meeting was given over to business affoirs, as the selection of club pins. The club flower is the palm, the club song, La Marseillaise, and the colors red, white, and blue. Through such programs and a congenial atmosphere French students found knowledge and pleasure. FORTY-ONE THE PATRIOTIC CLUB “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” Our class of Freshman Patriots, sponsored by our teacher, Miss Doris Rankin, met in o group on October 4, 1941, and organized a club which we named, The Rot Patriotic Club . We selected os our leader and rot chief, Floyd Holloway; for vice rot, we elected Irene Page; Katherine Huggett is our secretary, and Herbert Morse is our treasurer. As we were to be patriots, we decided on patriotic colors — red, white, and blue while our club flower was the American beauty rose. The purpose of the club is to improve social relationships within our class. FORTY-TWO THE FRESHMAN DRAMATIC CLUB We believe that the freshmen as well as seniors should be given an opportunity to express themselves in the dromatic art. For this purpose one of Miss Hammontree ' s classes in social studies and language arts formed a club with Marjorie Hopkins as president, J. W. Diggs as vice-president, Etta Butler as secretary and Eugene Hunt as treasurer. In this dub plays were presented frequently in connection with the Freshmen units in history and English. These plays provided valuable training in oral English, and helped develop poise as well as a cooperative spirit in the members. FORTY-THREE BIOLOGY CLUBS The Biology classes taught by Misses Showolter and Rankin organized clubs to aid in the understanding of all phases of animal and plant life. The clubs carried out this aim by having a bi-monthly program on outdoor life. Gerald Smoot was elected president of one group, while Junius Parker was chasen leader of the other. The Biology classes mourned deeply the untimely death of Biology Pete, their chick mascot. Biology Pete was murdered in cold blood in the barn by a notorious gangster The Rat. The classes of 41-42 sincerely hope that all pupils who are interested in out-doar life will take up Biology in the following years. FORTY-FOUR HOME ECONOMICS CLUBS Be it ever so humble, there ' s no place like home — and a house becomes a home when it ' s a happy, inspiring place in which to live. As most of our girls are future homemakers they ' re now getting training in the home economics classes and clubs to make their houses real homes. There are four home economics dubs with presidents Hazel Teague, Pauline Forrest, Edna Pearl Bunting, and Peggy Dye, and sponsor. Miss Showalter, doing their part in lead- ing us to appreciate the pleasures and responsibilities of making better homes. FORTY-FIVE THE SOPHOMORE STOIC CLUB “Grin And Bear It We may not be true stoics on the great stage of life, but many actors are needed — warriors, statesmen, conquerors, and critics — and we will find our place among them. With our president. Junior Hogge, vice-president, Dolly Messick, secretary and treasurer, Frances Mills, and sponsor. Miss C. Richardson, as our leaders, may we learn a love of work, devotion to ideals, and a great ambition to attain success in our chosen role. FORTY-SIX WATCH WATCHERS CLUB “We Can Because We Think We Can Our American government class, taught by Miss Rosalyn Moore, was very interesting and helpful because of the many activities we shared. We studied about taxes, the legisla- tive, judiciary, and executive branches of the government. Then we went to Washington and saw Congress in action and went in many of the buildings. This was very interesting as many in the class had not been to Washington before. We also organized a club with Henry Bradshaw as president, Sarah Margaret Carmines as vice-president. Novella Sue Hunt as secretary, and Laura Mae Topping as treasurer. FORTY-SEVEN FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Poquoson Chapter Future Farmers of America is a member of the National Organization of Future Farmers found in forty-seven states, Hawaii, and Porto Rico. Some of the purposes of the organization are: to develop leadership, create interest in farming, to inspire the love of country life, and to promote thrift. The president of our club is Roland Rollins, and our sponsor is Mr. C. E. Kirchmier. Learning to do Doing to learn Earning to live Living to serve FORT -EIGHT THE HOBBY CLUB “A hobby a day keeps trouble away A group of Freshmen boys, guided by Miss Hommontree, took up hobbies os a relaxa- tion from their studi es. In order to further their development of these hobbies, which were debating, stamp collecting, making airplane models, reading, and photographing, the group formed a club. They met twice a month on Thursday afternoon and worked on their hobbies. They also elected James McHugh, Junius Parker, Royal Ironmonger and Eugene Moore as officers of the club. FORTY-NINE 4.

FOOTBALL The Alma Mater this year was represented by a group of high-spirited boys, oil eager to learn and do their part. Although there weren ' t many victories, the team gave a very good account of itself, through the cooperation and sportsmanship showed by each member. Victory or defeat, the spirit never lowers if you are fighting under the colors of maroon and gold. Coach Cox has our hope and confidence that he will find good men next year to replace the many who are leaving him in June; and we ' re sure if the boys in ' 42 pick as good a captain as William Alfred Carmines has been, they will march on to victory in victory in every game. FIFTY-TWO BOYS BASKETBALL With colors flying and everyone full of pep and spirit the quintet of Poquoson went out on the hardwood and brought back victories in almost every game, for during the season we lost ortly to Hampton and Newport News. The team was composed of a group of well-trained and experienced players, nearly all the members being seniors. Next season Coach Cox will have just one regular around with which to build a team, but, as in the past, we expect him to come through with a winning team. The members of the team wish to thank Coach Cox, William Alfred Carmines, our captain, and Archie Topping, our assistant coach, who have been so faithful in building a winning team and in keeping the colors and spirit high. FIFTY-THREE GIRLS BASKETBALL One night in October, 1941, the girls most interested in basketball met in the high school gym for their first practice, with Coaches Cox and Duck Topping starting us off right. We decided to elect our captain before each game so every girl would have a chance. After a few practices we won a complete victory over George Wythe, which paved the way for our girls to win p eninsula championship. Through all the knocks and bruises our team players received, we won many a hard fought victory with the rafters echoing, our colors maroon and gold flying, and the gym rocking from the crowd ' s exciting yells.
