Every year brings forth a new opportunity and greater advancement. In West Virginia education has been developed to a great extent. Besides many comparatively new grade schools, there are new high schools. The state also boasts several colleges for those who wish higher learning. Throughout the United States, the trend is toward advancement of the schools which train boys and girls to be good citizens and leaders of tomorrow's democracy. As we are about to complete our high school course, we can see that a great stride has been made in education during the past twelve years. New methods of training show us that progress has, indeed, been made. This is as it should be. Through the democratic form of government education is advancing. As future leaders of America, let us see that learning continues to march forward. 4: ,Q N' nl' Q- PAGE TWO . ... 5 in N X M m fx wxx Q- X X KN X f - gig ' 5 Q N: 'X -Q5 f S x A K -my ' f Q, QV V,-Q !

Board of Eclucafion PAGE TEN South Charleston Higl1's Principal What a sweet delight the quiet life affords. Although written years ago by a poet, this statement might fittingly be said in regard to Mr. Robert L. Bryan who has served as principal of South Charleston High School since 1927. It is often said that only a brilliant mind can really comprehend mathematics. Mr. Bryan, having served as assistant instructor of mathematics during his college years, is quite a mathematician. Lebanon, Tennessee is Mr. Bryan's home town, but he has lived in West Virginia for seventeen years. Prior to becoming principal, he spent three years as a teacher. Ambition and a goal toward which to work are important qualities for success, says Principal Bryan who has obtained a B. S. and a M. S. degree, and has attended Cumberland University, the University of Tennessee, and West Virginia University. Often Mr. Bryan is the silent guest of a class. Entering a school room so quietly that many students do not note his arrival, he will visit a class. Some- how he seems to see all and hear all. Although it astonishes students, Mr. Bryan can quote many definitions just as they are in the book. Since he leads a very busy life, participating in community and church affairs, the answer seems to be that he has a very good memory. Sometimes wearing a green sweater, Mr. Bryan will affably chat with students. He is always willing to help each individual or class all he can. Mr. Bryan has many hobbies among which he lists woodwork as the most outstanding. PRINCIPAL, ROBERT L. BRYAN PAGE ELEVEN Members Of The FacuH'y MRS. LAURIE WILEY MR. FRANK MCGREW MISS RUTH SMITH MR.

WORTH Football The South Charleston Fighting Black Eagle football team, under the direction of two new coaches, Mr. John Worth and Mr. Roland Savilla, went through the first un- defeated season in the history of the high school this school year. Victorious over six rivals, the proteges of Coach Worth tied one game out of the seven played. In the homecoming game the team with the support of the student body defeated the Dunbar Bulldogs, their greatest rivals, with a score of 13 to 0. By the victory over Dunbar, the Eagles received the Lions' Club trophy for a year. Although delayed by the poliomyelitis epidemic, the football players got enough practice to get into playing condition in order to win over their opponents. All home games were played at Oakes Field with a great number of students attending.

BAKER Fighting Black Eagle Basketball Resume South Charleston's Fighting Black Eagles have once more been piloted through a successful season by Coach Eddie Baker. Coach Baker's proteges came out on top in thirteen of their skirmishes. Only seven opponents were able to clip the Eagle's wings. With impressive scores the Eagles began the season by trouncing their first three opponents. The next four games proved disasterous for the Chemists. They went down fighting before four of the county's strong- est quints. Following this the Eagles came back, winning in five successive games. In the next six encounters they came out with an even break. After a week of rest for the Bakermen, the sectional tournament, held in the gym of the Charleston High School. began. In the first round of the sectional the Chemists tackled the Stonewall Jackson Generals, and came out with a score of 38-35 in favor of the Generals. Bob Cole was disqualified in the second quarter by the way of the foul route. This somewhat disheartened an already weary team. However, the Eagles playled a nice game, and the many South Charleston students who packed the gym supported the team to the finis . BASKETBALL SCORES So. Charleston 51 Charleston Reds 27 So.

PAGE THIRTY Tense Momen+s 'ln Black Eagles' Big Games A+ The Recrea+ion Cen+er Boys' ln+ramural Tournament Played on March 27, 28, the Boys' Intramural Basketball Tournament was divided into classes B and UA . In class B the juniors played the seniors, with the seniors winning. In a game between the sophomores and freshman, the sophomores won. Given an opportunity to meet with the sophomores, the seniors won the game which made them winners of the B class. The first game was highlighted by the stellar shooting of George Lette. In class A the seniors played the sophomores and were victorious. The juniors then triumphed over the freshmen. In a game between the two victors, the seniors and the juniors, the senior boys' team won the champion- ship of the tournament. Two of the outstanding players of these games were Bob Berthold and Edward Rowsey. Under the able direction of Coach John C. Worth, the tournament was well- supported by the student body. Each class had a section of the gymnasium decorated with its colors. PAGE TH I RTY-TWO Directress of Girls' Sports and Physical Education Mrs. Kathryn Shoup, a graduate of West Virginia University, has been girls' physical education teacher here for the past five years. She has taught seven years. ' A promoter of health and safety, Mrs. Shoup declares her favorite sport to be basketball. Among her many hobbies is the collection of stamps and coins. She also plays badminton. Mrs. Shoup has been serving as girls' athletic directress in all sports. She says that she thoroughly enjoys teaching in South Charleston High School and that the present year has been a prosperous one. Energetic and interested in her work, Mrs. Shoup conducts tournaments among the various classes in such sports as basketball, volley ball and ping- POHE- .

In the afternoon of the first day of play, the freshmen and sophomores tangled with each other. The first year lassies were defeated 19-7. In the game that night the juniors defeated the seniors 16-14. When the juniors and sophomores met on the evening of March 28, the juniors were victorious with a score of 26 to 16. Maxine Baker was chosen high scorer of the tournament while Pauline Griflith was selected as the best all-around player. Patti Allen was chosen as the most valuable player to a team. Mary Lawson was selected as the best forward, Ethel Johnson, best guard and Betty Runyan, best center. Members of the winning team were Maxine Baker, Barbara Pierce, Patti Allen, Margaret McClung, Margaret Asbury, Louise Williams, Pauline Griffith and Margaret Scanlon. These girls received emblems and gold basketballs. Outstanding players of the first game were Virginia Shreeves and Catherine Meredith. Ethel Johnson was the outstanding guard. In the evening game Patti was high scorer with Maxine and Pauline playing good defensive ball. PAGE THIRTY FIVE Girls' Sports Volley Ball Volley ball has been played in this school for about five years since Mrs. Kathcryn Shoup, physical educa- tion instructress has been here. It is not a strenuous sport. Victory depends on teamwork rather than on individual skill and strength. The game remains a minor sport, but it was greatly favored when it first came into practice. On outdoor playgrounds it has become quite popular. The 12B class was known as the best group of players this year. Outstanding on the class teams were: seniors, Maxine Baker, Pauline Griffith, Edna Powell and Mary Lawsong juniors. Patti Allen and Barbara Pierceg sophomores, Pauline Turley, Dorothy Lotshaw, Katherine Meredith and Virginia Shreevesg freshmen, Martha Gillikin, Phyllis Thomas and Mary Copenheaver. Ping-Pong Ping-pong has been played very much this year by the girls who are members of the Activity Club. A tournament consisting of singles and doubles is played each year and pins are awarded to the winners. Some of the skilled players in the club are Ruth Greenslait, Marble Faun McCormick, Margaret Asbury, Louise Wil- liams, Barbara Rabel and Barbara Pierce. PAGE THIRTY-SIX 6 LP x Af f m.

June Graduating Class In every graduation there is a bit of sadness. We are like the seniors who have gone on before us when it comes to telling our friends and teachers how much we shall miss them next year. There is so much to say that we scarcely know how to begin, for we, for the most part, have spent four years which will forever remain indelibly stamped upon our minds as happy days-days of work and days of fun. Recalling the events of the year, we find' the election of a senior as Miss Black Eagle, the success of the senior play, the work we have done on the annual, the junior-senior prom and many other activities. Delving further into the past we can recall our freshman days with Jane Selbe as class president. Then our sophomore days when we elected Edwin Spurlock to lead us come next, followed by the junior year with Willard Mcllwain, president. As we come to the close of the fourth year of high school lead again by Edwin, we realize that these have been happy years, indeed. Our eyes dimmed by tears, yet our hearts and minds filled with the desire to make good, we take our diplomas and go out to take our place in the world. As each senior receives his diploma, he will realize that he has come to the end of a de- finite part of his life. His high school days are at a close. He will be forced to chose one of two alternatives. He may take his place in the working world or he may seek more educa- tion. No matter which he chooses, he will realize that there are others who have traveled the PAGE THIRTY-EIGHT highway of life before him-others who are capable of giving him a word of warning so that he may not fall in a pit of failure along the way. Some of the advice passed on to the seniors by the teachers follows: Don't teach. Make a definite preparation for your future life. 'Find a job you like and stick to it. Don't be afraid of work. Remember that you don't know it all-yet. Find your life's work and devote your life to it. To get along in college study hard and be your natural self. Make the best use of your time in school and while attending college. Cause all your efforts to be upright and worthy ones and they will surely lead to success.

Va. June 11, 1953 Dear Miss Clara Smith, I have loads of such interesting news for you. If you remember, I told you about the job I got as door-to-door lady for the Gallup poll. Well, imagine my surprise when I ran across nearly all the kids who were in my graduating class-old '41. Just think, it has been twelve years since that day at Oakes Field when we eagerly grasped our diplomas and started into the future. Since I know you will be interested, I will tell you what most of them are doing now. Pauline Barker owns Ye Classe Beautie Shoppe and among her employees are Eris Hill, Waneda Rabel, Cristal Clendenin, Edna Davidson and Harold Casto-who. incidentally, has become famous as a masseur. These old classmates have unselfishly de- voted their lives to making women beautiful. Pauline's best customers are the housewives who are smart enough to keep their lools and their husbands. They are Gwen Kinsey, Sally Ann Bailey, Alice Davis, Dorothy Bayes and Emma Helen Powers, You will remember John Clarkson, I am sure. Well, I find him in quite a dither. He is running his newspaper presses every minute of the night and day and is becoming a nervous wreck trying to keep his eight sons in college. Mary Burruss has become famous and will be in town this week lecturing on the Advantages of Living Alone. I really think that Lucille Harter, who is sporting her third husband, should hear her. Richard Wintz has a dance studio and tells me that he is running a special on Advanced Jitter- bugging lessons. Ed Rowsey and Jay Mooney fought ten years for the heart and hand of Nancy Bolick. Ed finally won and Jay, in despair, went to darkest Africa and is thelrge now winning sympathy from the little black gir . You have heard of the Turley-.Durrett creations? Well, they are none other than Betty and Lucille who design exclusive frocks whose price tags have already driven the husbands of Leah White and Ruth Greene to distraction. The new Mound Theatre, jointly managed by Hasaleah Ingram and Bob Cramer announces the obening of a new stage production, The Skelton Walks, starring Artist Turley and Ross Surbaugh. Poor Hope Eastwood is looking for another job. PAGE FI FTY-EIGHT Her last employer, Clarence McGhee, proposed to her so often she had to leave. Guy Baker has become the director of a famous band. You must have heard about it. Herbert Crawford and Maxwell Amold have also made good in the field of music. Among our number, there were six girls who became nurses. Betty Stevens, Betty Jo Long and Helen Lewis are employed in big hospitals. Virginia McGrath is known as one of the out- standing medical leaders. fRemember how she was a star in chemistry. Reba Hoover and Juanita Barnette have started a nursing registry. Ida Mae Jinks and Iola Griffith became nuns in order to devote their lives to the betterment of humanity. Miss Smith, Alice June Dumont has become very well-known as a newspaper reporter. Arnold Schulz, the famous cartoonist, is drawing cartoons fashioned after his life-like the Jane Arden series. Of course you have read of the success of Tommy Burdette and his Cadets and how he is fighting to bring back the power of the ASCAP. I hear that his wife, the former Merta Williamson, is entertaining the new Senator, Willard McIlwain, and his charm- ing wife, the former Jane Selbe. Mary Cartmill has just become editor of the new ladies' magazine, Household Charm, and is running in friendly competition with Damerius Jar- roll's Inside Your Home, a book of established popularity. Mary Parker is up to her old tricks. As hostess on the T. V. A. she has captured the hearts of every eligible pilot on the lines including Hugh Clingen- peel, Ivan Reveal and Donald Atkinson. Mary Frances Dunlap's dream has finally been realized. Only last week she became the proud mother of twins. Harold Nunn has become a family man and is comfortably settled in Bownemont and very content with his job as radio announcer of WCHS. Spud Spurlock and Fred Morecraft have both become head football coaches at rival schools. They evidently forgot that they were gentlemen last week because both came away from a game with a black eye. Vera Justice and Betty Runyan are said to be Earl 'Carro1l's most beautiful models in New York City. They aren't lonesome there, however, be- cause Bob MacFarland is there getting his latest book, This World of Sin ready for the publishers. Ethel Bowling and Dallas Bills have become the most fearless and wreckless dare-devils in this part of the U. S. You should see them drive those autos through dangerous places and come out all in twa pieces. Harry Gates is still faithful to Betty Turley -Opal Carlson and Roy Lewis have been married for seven years and she still can't keep his shoes from squeaking-Bette McNabb has become the toughest history teacher in S. C. H. S.-Cecil Yates is the whole profession-Wanda Mullins is the only laboratory technician in the du Pont plant at Belle. Bob Berthold is very succesful with his revised edition of the Imperial Milk Plant and is now trying to perfect a milk that will cut down the sale of some beverage which has stunted the growth of his old side-kick, Stuart Londeree-who, incidentally, has recently found a buried treasure in the Canadian North 'Woods. The First Lady is being taught charm and poise by Alice Boyle-Richard Salzer is straightening the population's squint by equipping them with glasses -Mark Higginbotham has become the most gentle tooth-yanker in town. Freda Comer has started a movement to put a playground in every back yard and is aided in this movement by Faye Rose and Emma Watts who have done good work for the town. Margie Henshaw, Andrew Weber and Mae White run a travel bureau but are nearing bankruptcy from indulging in the vacation trips themselves. Margie Via became Miss America about three weeks ago-Rosemary Fogarty is chilling the popu- lation with her blood-curdling murder mysteries- George Davidson is in Germany writing a book on the life and times of the late dictator, Schickle- gruber-Bill Sparkes, a court reporter, was hit on the head Tuesday with an ink stand thrown at Representative Jemison by Representative French. Bob Sergent is refereeing a bout next week be- tween the Navv champion, Don Hill, and the Army's own, Charles Bryant. Mary Hall's girls basketball champions fought a losing battle last night with Barbara Rabel's Whiz- zies, after holding the championship three years. Mary Ann Metten is manager of a company that produces make-up for red heads exclusively. Violet Vaughn whose hair has turned red, is her best model of the products. Annalee Neuhart is test-driving the new Phan- tom, the automobile designed by Bill Robbins and built by Joe Estep to find if it will stand the strain of being driven by women drivers. Juanita Salamie is teaching music and said that she would like it fine but she had trouble with Marjorie Miller's children who insist on picking a fight with Helen Browder's little boy when they should be hitting middle C. Mary Fisher is the new secretary to the principal at S. C. H. S. and has acquired a reputation for slap- ping time on the students. She says that Jeanne Hall is now a C. P. A. Hazel McIlwain and Verna Neely are bookkeepers for Bill Catlette, now Mr. William Harold Catlette, Sr. Dorothy Skaggs and Junior Osborne are the shin- ing lights behind the Willing Workers Missionary Society. Alec McClung has just perfected and demon- strated his new bombsight to the United States Army. John Corliss of the F. B. I. is guarding him day and night to safe-guard his plans from foreign governments. I don't know what happened to the rest of the class, but I hope they are well and prosperous. As for myself, I am as usual, struggling along with my budget and my four children. Sincerely yours.

We, as a body, bequeath all our excited cries and disgusted snorts, the echoes of our shuffling feet, and all discarded and unappreciated F's to our beloved teachers who have struggled with us these four or more years. Next, to the jolly juniors, we leave our still-good chewing gum that you might find under desks, in corners, in the waste baskets, and stuck behind the sophomiids ears. We leave you the battered and beatae'n'lbckers, a library full of well-used books, and our place in the teachers' hearts. To our principal, Mr. Robert L. Bryan, we leave our smooth brows, our stout hearts, and calm nerves. Now we individually make our last wills. I, Maxwell Arnold, will my ability to elude the police to Donald Goff. I, Bob Cramer, will my argumentative ability to Mr. Young. I, James Arnold, will my quiet disposition to Lynn Hornick. I, Alice Davis, will to Dorscerie Carter my A's in shorthand and to just anyone my inability to type. I. Juanita Salamie, will my English class giggles to any girl who hasn't mastered the art. I, Vera Griffith, will tearfully part with my store of acid remarks if Nancy Dunn will take them and apply them freely to Philip Blond. I, Ivan Reveal, will my many years in high school to Guy Wick. I, Barbara Rabel, will my slender figure to Ruth Ownby. I, Artist Turley, will my favorite boy friend, Howard Porter Taylor, to Rebecca Ingram and her friends and relatives. I, Arnold Schulz, will my big feet, artistic ability, and bashfulness to the boys on Highland Terrace. I, Ernestine Comer, will my membership in the M. H. A. QMen-Haters of Americaj to my sister, Thelma. I, Jack C. Meeks, will my curley hair to Bob fBig Stoopj Cole. I, Emma Helen Powers, will my knack at getting excused tardy slips to anyone in need of it. I, Ella Bailes, will my brown hair to Ida Mae Martin. I, Ezra Hill, do solemnly will my perfect attend- ance record to Philip Blond. I, Opal Carlson, will to anyone anything but Roy. I'm takinghimwith me. I, Roy Lewis, will to my brother, Henry, my first floor locker, which I have kept in good shape for four years. I, I, Gwendolyn Kinsey, will my sympathy for Gulliver among the Lilliputians to any hall guard who happens to be tall. I, Ann Pennell, will my nightmares, which are a result of struggling along with the X-Ray, to any- one who aspires to 'be a writer. PAGE SIXTY I, Annalee Neuhart, will all blow-outs and carbon knocks, produced by my little black auto to anyone who would like to have them. I, Mae White, will my beautiful complexion to one of the junior girls-the line forms on the right, girls. I, Mary Burruss, refuse to will anything to any- one. I need everything I have and more too. I, Donald Atkinson. will my ability to do everg- thing in the last minute to the beginners of e mechanical drawing class. I, Junior Clay, will my swell times on the back row in shorthand class to the future boys of that class. I, Juanita Lowers, will my small feet to Jean Lawson. I, Violet Vaughn, will my blonde hair to that handsome but silent Savilla. I, 'fRev. Tom Honaker, will my gal friend, Betty Fuller, to Fredrick Wintz. I, Leah B. White, will my ability to bake apple pie to Betty Nell Barrett. I, Ruth Greene, do hereby will to the future generations of the art class my limited ability along this line. I, Hazel June McIlwain, M. G. QMaster of Gigglesj will that complicated art to the most dignified mem- ber of Mr. Keys' English classes next year. I, Margie Via, will my tardies in economics class to a poor soul who wants to make up my time. I, Jay Mooney, will my interest in high school sports to Bill Branscome. I, Clarence McGhee, will my drum sticks to Charles Sparkes. I, Clinton Goff, will my tenth grade English book to Alonzo Comer. I, Cecil C. Yates, Jr., will my knowledge of chem- istry to Mr. McGrew. I, Ethel Mae Chambers, will my ever-ready gum to Evangeline Jones with the hope that she will enjoy it as I did. I, Lois Colley, will my bad tooth to anyone with nerve .enough to have it pulled. I.
