This realization sometimes comes too late; we, as students, are often blind to the advantages and opportunities which avail themselves to us through knowledge. However, through a post-graduate commercial course, we feel we have found a way to increase our assets and, perhaps, eventually better our way of life. This, in a sense, is why we have come back. 13 CLASS OF ’4 First RoVv: Lois Anderson, Herbert Bell, Barbara Booker, Evelyn Brown, Nancy Brown.

Mrs. Sheller and Miss Woodward were informed that we were to be their personal problems for the year. Thus the administration sought to de¬ velop patience and fortitude in the faculty. The Freshman year, an ordeal for all concerned, eventually wore itself to an uneventful close, with the exception of a few minor mishaps, which are better unrecorded. The following fall we became sophomores—at least a good majority of us did. This time Miss Gills and Mrs. Swann were elected to sponsor us. The position was open to volunteers. However, there were none. We entered right into the spirit of things. We cooperated wonderfully—with each other, but never com¬ pletely wore down faculty resistance. Marion Mann and Millicent Payne entered a state-wide literary contest and won superior rating. This delighted us, for there had been dire remarks made in our hearing, about the extent of our collective intelligence. However, we realized there was something unusual about us, and frequently other people drew similar conclusions. All in all, we were very proud ot ourselves. Members of our class worked in the library, entered athletics and sang in the Glee Club. The Sophomores were truly guiding lights, however, we generously allowed the other classes to bask in our reflected glory—first, ot course, plainly indicating the nucleus of the glow. What we lost in number and noise, we gained in egotism. By the time we were Juniors, we realized that the school literally revolved around us. How¬ ever, the other classes were ignorant of the fact, and this bothered us frequently. We suffered pangs of professional jealousy, when the senior class was allowed certain privileges we failed to enjoy. Mrs. Bowles took us in hand and we elected David Haurand, Herbert Bowles, Lorena Hicks and Dot Worsham as our Presi¬ dent, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. Some of our members made the Beta Club—a lact which should erase all doubt as to the superiority of our intellect. We were not at all surprised when the Beta Club won fourth place in a talent show at an interstate convention. We were fully aware ot our talents even it no one else had the foresight to recognize them. We were glad, however, that the Jolly Six Federation of the F. H. A. was progressive enough to elect Dot Worsham and Lorena Hicks as secretary and re¬ porter. We didn’t believe in hiding our light under a bushel. We treated the Senior Class to a banquet and formal dance in the spring, and they expressed their appreciation admirably. Later, we honored them by ac¬ cepting several roles in the senior play, and contributed to the success ot the per¬ formance. A chorus, composed primarily of juniors, sang at commencement and we feel, added much to the program. The following year, thirty-four of us entered the Senior Class, under the sym¬ pathetic eye ot Mrs. Bowles. Sammy, Dot, Millicent and David were our class officers, and we took four post-graduates into our class. We always were big- hea rted! Many things are different this year, including us. We have that “new look. It has taken us quite a while to perfect it, and we still are not quite perfect. The foundation of the look is the bored, cynical glance, so common to some members of the faculty, with just a hint of smugness and sophisticated amusement. The idea behind the look is to create an atmosphere of intelligence, and convey bore¬ dom. So far, we ' ve succeeded only in conveying boredom—the atmosphere is potent—but intelligence has nothing to do with it. We have a commercial course and a Student Council—both in the experimental stages at present, and both remarkably adept at handling situations which may arise either in, or out, of the line of duty. We are anxiously anticipating the production of “ The Three Girls and Jeffrey’ —our senior play. Of course, commencement will be the climax of all previous proceedings. We are really hot on the trail of that very elusive animal, the diploma and if determination, perspiration and accusations will help any, we’re sure to capture him, for we ' ve had our share of all three.

Hallie, 1 think that style would be very becoming. I, Ruby Duty, leave my shorthand books to anyone willing t o use them. I hope you have better luck than I did. I, Evelyn Lavne, leave my chemistry book to R. F. Jessup. R. F., you may someday want to be a scientist and notes will help. I, Marion Mann, leave my ability to draw to all the students who go around writing on the walls and desks. Now, maybe you can put your art on paper. I, Betty Montgomery, leave my place in Geometry class to Nancy Brown. Nancy, I hope you make more progress than I did in “that class. I, Beulah Moyer, leave my bookkeeping book to LaVerne Grotz. 1, Dorothy Owen, leave my position as shortstop on the softball team to Dottie Mann. The way you roll your eyes, Dottie, is enough to make the umpire give Powhatan the game. I, Millicent Payne, leave my soft voice and nice smile to B. D. Kornegay and Mary Jane Goodwyn. I leave my pretty red hair to Rose Cameron. Rose, you won’t have to fuss about dyeing your hair now! I, Mary Pickles, leave my big mouth to Mary Ann Heath. Maybe when you are a senior Mrs. Bowles won ' t have to fuss at you. I, Elsie Schoeder, leave my government notes to some junior who needs help. 1, Flossie Spicer, leave my ability to chew gum in class without the teacher catching me to Jimmy Grump. Jimmy, maybe the history teacher won’t catch you now. I, Ann Webb, leave my English notes to Doris Poore. Maybe if Mr. Firebaugh teaches you English you can agree with him. I couldn’t! I, Phyllis Wells, leave my sewing ability to Eleanor Wilkinson. Make lots ot pretty dresses, Eleanor. I, Dorothy Worsham, leave my pretty curls to Barbara Booker. All you have to do when you want curls is to tie paper in your hair, Barbara. I, Virginia Bodie, leave my sweet smile and southern accent to Lois Anderson. Lois, it’s very simple—smile, and use that accent and you will make lots of friends. I, Evelyn Hubbard, leave my quiet ways and nice disposition to Elizabeth Pitts. Make use of it, Elizabeth, and be sure that ball team wins next year. I, Winfree Anderson, leave my way of pestering the girls to Walter Drinkard. Walter, I hope they don’t slap you like they did me. - 4 { 26 )” •- THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT ( Continued ) I, Herbert Bowles, leave my curly black hair to PI cover Berry. The girls really go for it, Hoover. I, Howard Bowles, leave my shy ways to N. B. Goodwyn. I, Lawrence Bradshaw, leave my precious possessions—the junior girls to next year’s senior class. I, Charles Dunkley, leave my ability to teach bookkeeping to Wesley Wor¬ sham. If you use my method the students will learn. Virginia did. I, David Haurand, leave my ability to drive the tractor to Marshall Lipscomb. Marshall, take my advice and don’t look back of you when the tractor is in 5th gear. I, James Hubbard, leave my ability to get ads for the annual to Evelyn Mae Brown. It takes work, Evelyn. I, Steve Messenger, leave my good looks to Herbert Bell. They help when it is the question of girls. I, Stuart Moyer, leave my height to Tommy Farris. Tommy, if you will just get fat along with growing taller, you’ll be O.K. I, Wallace Moyer, leave my ability to be a safety patrol to Helen Sprouse. I hope you won’t have too hard a job! I, Sammy Parker, leave my ability of making speeches to Eileen Weakley. Eileen, if you don’t think about it too much, you will be O.K. I, James Pennington, leave my motor bike to H. H. Webb. You can use it if if your car breaks down. I, Percy Webb, leave my motor bike to Charlotte Firebaugh. Charlotte, I hope your Pop thinks it is safe for you, he didn’t think it was safe for me. I, Joe Worsham, leave my ability to leave the speed cop on route 60 to Jim Jervey. It isn’t a good thing to do, though. I, George Sheller, leave ail my books to George Wright. You had better try studying them sometimes. We, the Senior Class of 1948, leave to the faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them in our examination papers from time to time. To the Junior Class, we will our Senior dignity. May they uphold it with all seriousness and gravity, as we have done. To the Sophomore Class, we will our undying school spirit and loyalty. To the 8th grade, we leave all the worries and troubles of upper classmen. May they live through it! 4 { 27 CLASS PROPHECY George Sheller, the famous doctor, and I are on our way to Europe to super¬ vise the establishment of a new hospital. As 1 look over the ship’s register, I see Betty Montgomery’s name there. Naturally, I decide to look her up as we had been good friends in high school. I find her lounging in a deck chair. We begin discussing old times and exchanging gossip about our school friends. She is going to London to sing the leading role in the opera “Madam Butterfly.” This is a command performance before the King and Queen. She tells me that Sammy Parker and Charles Dunkley have made quite a name for themselves as head of a large construction firm. Starting out young on that cabin really helped them! Wintree Anderson is doing their bookkeeping. Sammy had some trouble with the law not very long ago., but with the aid of the famous attorney, Marion Mann, he came out on top. f had come from Virginia to New York by plane. Evelyn Hubbard was travel¬ ing on the same plane to take her vacation. She had been secretary to the com¬ monwealth attorney of Powhatan County for several years. Flossie Spicer is stewardess on our plane, somehow the air pockets seem to keep her awake. As Betty and I continued to talk, I told her about my sight-seeing trip around New York while waiting for my boat to leave. 1 couldn’t resist going to see James, as I passed the Pennington Motor Bike Company. He told me that he wouldn’t have been able to start his company without the backing of the bank of which Howard Bowles is president. It is the same one from which he at one time sent out calendars. David Haurand is cashier there. Suddenly to our great delight and surprise who should walk up but Millieent Payne and Dot Worsham. Millieent says that after leaving high school she studied science, but that now she has settled down to housekeeping. She and her hus¬ band are on a belated honeymoon. Dot, who is now a star newspaper reporter, is going over to get a first hand account of the basketball, spelling and shorthand contests between various nations. Beulah Moyer is to compete in the basketball contests, Steve Messenger in the spelling contest, and Dorothy Owen in the shorthand contest. It is getting cool on deck so we retire to our staterooms. A magazine with a familiar face on the cover attracts my attention. It looks like one of my old class¬ mates, but to be sure I read the article. I am right, it is James Hubbard, who is now singing with Sunshine Sue. As I look through the magazine I see a large advertisement: “Percy’s Poultry Is the Best. Percy Webb seems to have carried on very well in his chosen profes¬ sion. Wallace Moyer’s advertisement takes a whole page. “Wallace’s Grain Makes the Best Flour. It seems that everyone is making bread since Wallace has started to farm. As I continue reading the magazine, I come upon an article on child psychology written by Ann Webb, the famous teacher and lecturer. The fashion section also attracts my attention. I see the styles have gotten shorter again thanks to many economy-wise style designers (like Mary Pickles). I close the magazine and turn to read my mail that was sent to the boat. There’s a letter from Barbara Adams. She says that she is married now and teaching dancing in her spare time. Also she tells me of my other classmates. Phyllis Wells is married to Dennis and is living in California. Lawrence Brad¬ shaw has gotten to be head of the Powhatan Highway Commission. Joe Wor¬ sham, algebra teacher at Powhatan, is getting along fine. Herbert Bowles is married and living in one of the cabins at Plain View. He is manager of the Greyhound Bus lines. There is Elsie Schroeder, who is dean of an exclusive girls’ school at Powhatan, and Virginia Bodie, who has a nursing school there. The rest of my trip is uneventful, but memories of high school life keep coming back as I think of the things I have just learned about my high school friends. 4 28 )¥- «{ 29 }% STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS The Student Council is noted For problems on which it has voted.
