Volume XIII Published By The Senior Class Of Poquoson High School 1947 ONE POQUOSON PUBLIC LIBRARY 500 CITY HALL AVENUE , POQUOSON, VA 23662 otcwot Seafaring is the theme of the thirteenth edi- tion of the York Chronicle. The number thirteen usually brings to mind superstition, the belief in certain signs and objects bringing good or bad luck. Unlike our earlier seamen and explorers, through education, we disprove and eliminate superstition. In the 1947 edition of our annual we shall endeavor to get away from the belief of omens and signs and to become thinking, knowing citizens of the world and more pro- gressive and efficient seamen. CONTENTS Dedication Administration Classes Activities Athletics Advertisements TWO DEDICATION To those men from York County who in the post, present and future go down to the sea in ships and who have founded the economy and livelihood upon which Poquoson is established, we the 1947 class, dedicate this, the XIII vol- ume of the York Chronicle. THREE SEAFOOD CONSERVATION By EDWARD G. COX Instr. Marine Biology P. H. S. The Chesapeake Bay amid its tributaries may be considered as one of the most fertile bodies of water in the world. During the early period of the development of America, writings picture the Chesapeake Bay as a great arm of the sea, teeming with fish, oysters, crabs and other sea foods. During the last century, the growth of the population of Tidewater Virginia was ac- companied by a peak in the utilization of the natural fishing products of the Bay. Too little thought was given to the production trends and to the effect of high catches of the sea foods on future yields. The result has been a serious depletion of the oyster and some of the other fisheries. Dr. Curtis L. Newcombe says, Industrial recovery must be based, in large measure, on the application of factual information to the State ' s fishery problems. To provide such data and to assist in the analysis of our practical fishery problems, the Virginia Fisheries Laboratory was established in 1940 and operates under the joint sponsorship of the College of William and Mary and the Commission of Fisheries of Virginia. Being an applied research institution, this laboratory seeks to find and to interpret the biological factors that may hold the secret to increasing the abundance of oyster, crabs, clams and fin-fish. A large percentage of the people in York County derive their earning from the sea food industry. It is the producer who shares most in the depletion or the improved utilization of a piece of oyster ground, a particular run of fish or local crab population. Better informed water- men, and a conservation-minded citizenry hold the key to the future of industrial expansion of sea food resources. To this end, the Poquoson High School in cooperation with the Col- lege of William and Mary and the Virginia Fisheries Laboratory at Yorktown offers a course in Marine Biology. The members of this class are privileged to study and experiment with the aid of the facilities of the Laboratory at Yorktown The course offers a detached study of the Life habits and conservation of the oyster, crab and fin-fish in addition to a study of the general marine life found in the neighboring waters.

The officers of the Student Government were elected by popular vote of the entire student body and the representatives were elected by popular vote of each class. The aims and objectives of the Student Government for the year of 1 947 were: Red Cross Drives, Infantile Paralysis Drive, Bangles for Tuberculosis Drive, and improving the school buildings and grounds. At Christmas, gift packages were prepared by the students of different homerooms and sent to various branches of services in Virginia. Opening exercises, which were held daily, under the supervision of each homeroom teacher, included the reading of the Bible and the Lord ' s prayer.

Ask a few of our students where they ' ve heard that sentence before, and see what they tell you! Seriously though, the Safety Patrol this year has been striving to make our school a better place in which to live. Many a time we ' ve had unpleasant duties to perform but we ' ve had the co-operation of Ihe student body behind us. With John DeAlba as Captain and Eddie Basta as Lieutenant, the Safety Patrol, composed of twenty-three members chosen from the Senior class, has had as its goal the promotion of safety in school and on the buses. Operating under the sponsorship of Mr. Philip Edwards, the Safety Patrol is the Voice of Safety on the campus.

THIRTY-FIVE CLASS HISTORY Four years ago we enlisted on the Goodship P. H. S. for a four-year cruise with Captain Nor- ris L. Thomas commanding. Nov ' that we have arrived at our destination, I have been looking back over the log of our voyage, and I have found certain incidents which stand out in our travels. On September 10, 1943, at 9 o ' clock when we first embarked on such a great adventure, we boarded the ship excited over the prospect of cruising the unknown seas. Most of us will never forget those first days of initiation when we were rated as ' ' rats ' ' and duly treated thus by the experienced seamen. To combat the many issues which faced us we or- ganized our watch and elected John DeAlba as cur president. This leg of our voyage proved rather unevent- ful except for undertaking our duties as appren- tice seamen and taking part in chapel programs, and also memorizing the Star Spangled Banner. Then, in June, 1944, we anchored in Port Sopho- more and were given three months shore leave. On September 7, 1944, 9 o ' clock, we boarded our ship for another nine months cruise. This time we elected Charles Fox as our president. We applied ourselves with diligence to our many duties because now we were embarked on wider horizons and dangerous channels. We sailed into the realms cf algebra and science with new vigor. Of course, we all remember our V ar Bond and Red Cross Drives. We girls remember very well the party that the boys had to give us because they underestimated our ability to collect for the Red Cross Drive. Upon our arrival in Port Junior we were given 90 days delay in reporting for duty. On the third leg of our trip we began to feel our superiority for we had been promoted in rate again. This time Tommy Hopkins was chosen to lead us as Juniors. The Glee Club, under the guidance of Miss Dorabelle Forrest went to Port Norfolk, March 13, 1946, and there they rated second place. On April 13 they went to Port Richmond and were rated superior. Oh! what a happy ship of seamen when we received our rates. Then, the long-awaited day came when we were called to the auditorium to order our school rings. Many of us ordered black and green onyx, others ordered amethyst and topaz. On May 10, 1946, we gave our senior seamen a Junior-Senior Prom. Most of the girls wore evening dresses and the boys wore sport suits. The boys must have been too bashful to ask the rirls to dance with them; anyway, we all had a delightful time. We regretted the loss of Miss Bertha Hunt, head of the math department, as we left Port Junior. Miss Hunt is still remembered and greatly missed by all the seamen. We are all hoping she will be able to return shortly and travel many more voy- ages cn our Goodship P. H. S. The days passed by hurriedly and a third time we were given shore leave for the usual ninety days as we moored at Port Senior. We were anxiously awaiting the fourth leg of our voyage as Seamen First Class who are known as seniors. During the years we have left thirty of our brother and sister seamen in distant ports. When we boarded Goodship P. H. S. on September b, 1 946, we had only sixty-nine crew members of our original crew of ninety-nine. Duane Holloway was chosen as president. A new responsibility now rested on our should- ers, we were now responsible for the Annual and School Scoop publication. It was our duty also to lead in the govern- ment of other seamen under us; thus, Charles Fox was chosen as president of Student Govern- ment and twenty-five of us were appointed as Safety Patrolmen. We assumed these responsibil- ities with the dignity befitting our new rate. During our shore leave our ship had been in the shipyard for an overhauling and in Port Senior we were billeted to new quarters (rooms) upon boarding the Goodship P. H. S. We can ' t forget the good times we had in- itiating the inexperienced seamen by putting rat on their faces and bumping the boys against the flag pole. Poor flag pole!!! We regret that we will be unable to do it again. Many of us who were interested in sports were given a place on the f ootball, basketball and base- ball teams. We realized that our sportsmanship would determine the rating that P. H. S. would get for the year 1946-47. We greatly appreciate the support which the cheerleaders gave us during the games. We were all very happy when we were told that our rings had arrived and we could order our calling cards and invitations. We recall the days we were sent to the Yorktown Clinic tor physical exams for tuberculosis and the day we senior seamen went to see the movie Henry V. We were privileged to have a May Day — the first since the beginning of the war. Other interesting and funny things happened on our last voyage. For instance, Louise Wilson singing Filipino Baby while typing; Alton Davis slamming his fist down when he made an error in typing. Sue rattling her sandwich paper; Nancy ' s quiet ladylike laugh caused by Faye Moore and his wit; the soft thud when Teenie hit Frank Grubb on the head, and the soft talk between Caroline and Bill. Now that land has been sighted, our four-year cruise is almost at an end. We will go out into the world to use the knowledge that we gained on the Goodship P. H. S. Captain Thomas will strike the colors in honor of the 1946-47 gradu- ating class to show his respect and for their ex- pression of loyalty to him as the Senior class leaves the Goodship P. H. S. to travel along seek- ing new worlds to conquer. THIRTY-SIX CLASS PROPHECY Aboard the Good Ship P. H. S. the starboard lookout peering through the binoculars reports Objects Ho! As we approach the objects we distinguish them as the Future of the Class of P. H. S. of 1947. One large object that appears is a sign adver- tising Bradshaw Brothers ' Engineering Co. under the management of Jim and Joe. In close view is a settlement of trim white cottages where Florence Hudgins and Jean R. Burcher are busy keeping house next door to each other. Billy Bunting who is now Newport News ' lead- ing printer, publishes the York Chronicle every year.

ANNUAL STAFF In this Sea-Faring Edition of the York Chronicle, we have tried to bring you not only a representative picture of school life, but also a glimpse into the lives and the work of those around us. It is our desire that through these pages you will come to know Poquoson High School and its surrounding com- munity. It was a hard job, getting this annual ready for publication, but we feel that the final product is worth all the effort that we put into it. We have had our trials, such as the time when the dummy disappeared, and we have had good times, such as staying out of school all day when the photographer came. We believe that these incidents, and many more, have blended together well, to produce a fine edition of the York Chronicle.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Future Homemaker ' s Club was organized with the purpose of pre- serving the ideals of home life; developing an understanding in the field of home economics, and contributing to school and community life. Meetings based on some phase of home economics were held each month, with each girl participating. Under the leadership of our president, Betty Ann Watkins, we planned and served the F.F.A. boys their Father-Son Banquet, helped with the County Teachers ' Banquet, entertained our mothers. During the year we affiliated with the State and National organization. We received our pins for first year membership and guards for second year membership. In November our officers attended a meeting of the peninsula clubs in Newport News at the Newport News High School. After the meeting the Home Economics club of Newport News served us luncheon. Our club plans to send representatives to the State Camp at Smithfield again this year. We also plan to send a representative to the State conven- tion at V. P. I. in June.

MUSIC CLUB Beethoven, Bach — all the masters — how can we better appreciate them? Why not organize for that purpose? Thus ran our discussion. Result — the Music Club under the sponsor, Mrs. Carrie W. Moore. We had to have leaders in this understanding, so we chose Joseph Bunt- ing, President; Ann Temple Forrest, Vice-President; Frances FHunt, Secretary and Treasurer and Alice Irene Page, Pianist.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB With an interest to appear in public with poise, the Dramatic Club was formed under the sponsorship of Mr. Aubrey Russell.

Our leaders in this undertak- ing were: President, Barbara Hunt; Vice-President, Bobby Johnson; and Sec- retary-Treasurer, Peggy Thompson.

We, the members of the Com mercial Department, dream of successful and exciting business careers. Al- though the club was slow getting organized, it proved very beneficial to all of its members. We don ' t claim to be the largest nor best-looking club in its history but our work will speak for us. Our effort and hard work can only be rewarded by knowledge and efficiency in the business world. The club gave the students something to think about, contribute to, and work toward. It created an interest and also a competitive spirit among the students. Prob- lems that have to be faced in business were discussed at our club meetings. After much training, under the leadership of Mrs. Nannie Freeman, we feel to be in a position to advance successfully.

LATIN CLUB With Mrs. Margaret Robinson as sponsor, this year ' s Latin Club was formed with the purpose of enjoying and understanding Latin more. We learned that Latin is not a dead language, but that it lives as the founda- tion of half a dozen modern languages. FIFTY-FIVE FIFTY-SIX ATHL FIFTY-SEVEN CHEERLEADERS This is the first in many years since Ole P. H. S. has had Cheerleaders. These girls have worked very hard to raise the school spirit and have really added color to the games. We also hope that next year they will have as good a squad. They cheered during both the basketball and football seasons, also they have led the school in many pep rallies.

The football squad on the whole spent much of its time work- ing on fundamentals and practicing new defenses to use against the T forma- tion. Our first game, lost to Deep Creek, was greatly attributed to the diph- theria epidemic which had the school and players scared. The Mathew Whaley game here was a thriller, tied 7-7 at the half, a fourth quarter re- verse scored for M. W. Frank Grubb, our speedy tailback, ran 65 yards to score only to have a penalty nullify the score. The Cape Charles game was ours all the way ' till the fatal fourth quarter when an intercepted pass and extra point spelled defeat. South Norfolk had too much T for our defense. A blocked kick against Kempsville in the first quarter set up a chance for us to score, but we missed. A fourth quarter aerial attack was stopped when time ran out. The Governors had a full day against us at Wil- liamsburg and when the adhesive tape and liniment was cleared away we were at the short end of a 34-0 count. Bigger and better things are planned for next season. A firmer grasp of fundamentals and a larger number in the squad will help our cause greatly!

BASKETBALL 1946-1947 As we look back over the season ' s record we have many things to feel proud about our maroon and gold basketeers. This year ' s quintet may not have a large win column, but they played a good brand of basketball and were endowed with plenty of courage! Demon Nicotine cut three members from the squad but their loss was rapidly repaired by non-smokers who were willing to put forth extra effort to carry on for the remainder of the sea- son. Chick Fox, captain; Doug Watson, guard, and Frank Grubb, our three senior starters, will be lost through graduation, but Jimmy Grubb, Ned Mills, and Henry Milton Forrest with other members from the Junior Varsity should be ready to take over. Chick Fox has been elected most valuable member to the squad by his shooting, passing, and all around basketball ability and is a proud possessor of a silver basketball. Doug Watson has compiled the best percentage of foul shots; 17 for 40 for a 43 ' percentage during the season. Frank Grubb led individual scoring with a total of 91 points for league and non-league games.

The Junior Varsity Basketball Team This has been a very successful season for the Junior Varsity Basket- ball team. It was organized this year under the guidance of Mr. Philip F. Edwards. It was organized chiefly to give the boys who couldn ' t play on the var- sity team a chance to play other schools in competitive basketball. We hope it will continue on through the next year, becoming more suc- cessful with each year of play.

Although winning the greater majority of games, the team had a very hard struggle topping some of the schools.
