UCTOBER Superintendent F. W. Cox, in honor of whom our stadium was named, and other dignitaries, during the half-time dedication ceremonies. ABOVE RIGHT: Irvin Evans and Ken Brethauer, candidates for Junior class president, display a tremendous political banner. Ken is the proud papa, Irvin the disgruntled helper, forced to perform this sacrifice by yearbook stag members with clubs in their hands out of camera range. A little cooler. The incense of buming leaves drifted on the air. It was a month of activity and refreshing en- thusiasm. It was a brisk month, the last before the icy cold of winter. VVhile concentration should have been on Equations and Chaucer, everyonels mind wandered to his feet. All We could think. of was football. Following our slight miscalculation at Norview, we bounced back 1'Ef KU' vo or hauel' pREg?ef JUNIOR CLASS to defeat the heavily favored Newport News squad 13-0. This was the worthiest of all gestures to honor the dedi- cation of Cox Stadium. The pace quickened . . . Great Bridge . . . 26-13. Through sweet and bitter we swelled with pride. They were our boys and to us they were heroes all .... The first issue of The Pagel' rolled off the press. Carlands to Skinner and All to Elaine Brooks. A good paper, powerful in a pleasant voice . . . OOOH! Report cards. Any visions on pink billowing clouds of paradise are now completely dissolved, Evil little cardboards. Tattle Tales. Party Poopers. Well wait till next month, I'll show them. . . . The challenge for honor, Senior Elections. Ken White- hurst, a dark horse, galloped through to out-run the field. The elected slate fulfilled every promise made. Of course they didn't make any.

Ace Newspaper Vendor, Ioyce McCloud, corners Ronnie Hedly and makes her sale. This was the frst issue of the '55 - '56 Page , Princess Anne's prized news sheet. Unaware passersby continued on their way. Later when the news seeped out, Joyce was mobbed by prospective purchasers. Fwe sophomores look hopelessly at their first report card of the year.

flfo EMBER The month which saw the fireplace taking televi- sion out of the spotlight as the home's top attraction, football reaching a climax and then being put away until next fall, Betty Faison putting the top on Clark's convertible, and finally the turkey which wouldnit stay still in Mrs. Bames' plate. Mr. McGuire and his team of newspaper readers won the Quiz 'Em On the Airi' match with Deep Creek to advance into second round competition. Bunchis much awaited magazine, The Court Iester, Q8 pagesj finally arrived. Blenda Erickson, a transfer student, won the lead in Goodbye, My Fancy, the senior class play. Mr. Lowenthal seemed to have trouble keeping up with his car at practice sessions. Tina Harris, a sophomore, won The Voice of Democ- racyv Contest. Football stole the show. After a heartbreaking 13-12 loss to Suffolk, our eleven surprised Group I Cradock, 25-6. In this blazing glory, we lost the serwdces of Captain Frank Craft for the rest of the season. Next came our homecoming, a most important conference game with our county rival. Virginia Beach. Here are some highlights from that game: Attendance- 6,000, Special attractions-The Drill Team and the appearance of Betty Sue Matthews, Homecoming queen-Barbara Wilkins, Score-Well, anyway, we held Leigh Forbes to one touchdown, A loss to Iames Blair on our Hnal outing gave us a five hundred rec- ord for the season. Mr. Teague brought publicity to the school by cov- ering the games for the Norfolk newspapers. Cigar, glasses, and derby could be seen racing back and forth between the press box and the telephone. Cam- eras were clicking at the rate of twelve hundred times a day when Delmar invaded our premises to take student snapshots. Lines of wiggling monsters had to be held in check and make-up applied to cover Mother Nature's blemishes. VVhen the finished prod- uct returned to the school, some people had four eyes, two noses, two mouths, and exposed brains-the result of double exposure, you know. Actually these were in the minority. The majority were rather good. Thus we remember November. g 1 'D
