Our goals in life have all heen chosen, Our aims all set quite high. Let as keep their sight and fight toward them Else time shall pass us hy. ln the endless sands of time, are made Footprints, day hy day. Ufe see the paths where we have liven, But not the morrow's way. VVe know not what things the future brings, Or the tidings it will hear, But surely our goals lie within its horders. And our steps must he taken with care. As we walk toward our goal in the distance With steps so carefully planned, A feeling of joy must surely arise As we make mfr marks in the sand.

First of all, in May, was the Junior-Senior Prom. The topics of all conversation for weeks were Who are you going to the Pom with? and What are you going to wear? Then came the Big Night, Saturday, May 20. The Recreation Center was decorated with Spring fiowers and pastel crepe paper. Thelights were dim and S ring filled the air. Did everyone have a good time? Need, you even ask such a silly question? Isn't the Prom always a success? In almost everyone's opinion, the main social event of the fall months was the never-to-be-forgotten Fall Festival, which was sponsored by the Student Council. Oh! what fun. It was held on the night of October 22, in the High School Gym. Since most of the students had never been to a Barn Dance, it was certainly a novelty. The Gym was almost unrecognizable under its decorations of Props of Farm Life and crepe paper. For the most part, the costumes consisted of blue jeans and plaid shirts. There was a wonderful floor show at intermission, and between the regular dances, there were directed dances, such as the Virginia Reel, Broom Dance, and others. In December, with the excitement of the Christmas holidays, plans were made for the Snow Festival, spon- Jgfafory of fine Entering South Charleston High School, in the year of '44-'45, with 250 students, the class of 1948 was the second largest class enrolled in the school. Roy Hughes was elected president of the class during their freshman year. An ambitious group, the class started things rolling by publishing a new school paper called The Black Eagle. This attempt, sponsored by Miss Casey's home room, was stopped by the X-Rayv, the regular school paper, which found a rule saying the school could not have another newspaper. The most outstanding event in the sophomore year of the class of 1948 was the winning of the state football championship. The sophomore class had one representa- tive, Harold Whitey Chandler on the regular team. Wayne Higginbotham and Glenn Phillips were on the second string and others on the squad were Orin Graves, Claude 'Hopper Dent, jim Pickens, Bob Grishaber and Tom George. The class had a dance at the Armor Park Recreation Center which was one of the highlights of the year. One of the most outstanding students during the sophomore year of this class was Betty Corvin who won first prize in the spelling contest sponsored by the X-Ray. Barbara Haynes was president of the class that year. Under the leadership of Jack Wilcoxon, president, thc class of '48 sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom in their junior year. To raise funds for this event, a Goldwiiggers dance was held. The prom was a success and everyone enjo ed it. One of the highlights of this year was the excellent basketball team of the school. Winning the regional tournament by beating Charleston High 44 to 43, the winning point being scored b Sammy French, a junior, the team went to Morgantown flor the state finals. There they lost the deciding game to Huntin ton East High School. Sarah Hankla, another outstanding pupil, won Page Sixty-eight sored by the Senior class. What plans, tool A beautiful Snow Queen was to reign over her court of eight lovelies from the Senior class and three Maids of Honor, one from each of the lower classes. December 20 was the well- remembered date and the recreation Centr was th place. Success? Definitely! Why, it was the most sensational thing you have ever seen. The decorations consisted of a lavish Christmas Tree, covered with beautiful colored lights, and pine boughs tied with red ribbons. Stars filled with artificial snow hung from the rafters, while the sparking Queen's Throne glistened below. To add color to the beautiful sight were the lovely formals worn by the young ladies attending the dance. During the intermission, the excitement reached its peak. The great question of Who will be queen was soon to be answered. The crowd was hushed as the Master of Ceremonies announced the winner of the coveted title. Miss Barbara Griffith was given the honor. She was beautifully attired in a white gown, and she was presented with American Beauty Roses. The members of the court were: Mary Ann McAtee, Ioan Panther, Ruby Parker, Pat Watson, June Griffith, Lorna Underwood, Corrinne Gum, and Jeanette Watts from the Senior class, and Nancy Dillon, Alma Lou Combs, and Elinor Snyder from the junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes respectively. Cjfaaa of 1948 first prize of fifty dollars in the Charleston Gazette sewing contest. Glenna Dent won first prize in the X-Ray spelling contest that year. Frank Dunlap and Joy Wolfe with three students from other classes, went to St. Petersburg, Florida, to represent South Charleston at a meeting of the Southern Association of Student Government. During the summer the class sent Jean Denny and Wanda Giles to Girls' State and Maynard Sharp and Thomas Oakes to Boys' State, both held at Jackson's Mill, West Virginia. Back to school in the fall of 1947 with the realization that they were finally seniors, the class chose Wa ne Hig- ginbotham as president. One of the majorettes fiom this class, Dolores Thompson, won the title of Miss Kanawha Majorette at the first annual majorette festival held in Charleston. Delores also won third place in acrobatics at this event, and Betty McClure won second place in baton twirling. Dolores Thompson was elected Miss Black Eagle and reigned with her attendants, Barbara Hill and Eunice Skaggs, at the South Charleston-Dunbar football game. The seniors, sporting their newly-acquired class rings, presented a Variety Show consisting of various talent Acts and highlighted by a skit called A'Faculty High School , which depicted the teachers as school children. The class of 1948 hoped to start a tradition in having the Snow Festival dance in December. A snow queen, Barbara Griffith, was elected and she with eleven attendants reigned at the dance. The student council published a student directory, the first one in this school, to be sold to students. The time for graduation has come and the class takes a more serious attitude toward the future. Regardless of how glad they may be to get out of school they wonder what the future has in store for them. So, we look to graduation with mingled gladness and regret. YVe are grown-ups now. nop eczy While opening my morning mail, I was indeed sur- prised to find an invitation to the reunion of the class of '48. I had almost forgotten that we had planned to have our reunion in this year. Immediately I arranged with the editor of the New York Times to take my vacation now and hopped the first plane for South Charleston, Chemical City of the World and home of the famous Skeeterville University. After arriving I had the afternoon before me with noth- ing to do so I decided to look the town over and see if the old hangouts could still be found among the skyscrapers of the town. I made a bee-line for the old site of the Mayflower Grill Cas usualD which was now under the management of Dolores Thompson. It was strictly a college hangout with the new name Campus Corner Calthough it was patron- ized more by the faculty than students of the collegeD. Lounging in the luxurious booths of the much expanded building, I met some of my former classmates of South Charleston High discussing campus problems Much to my surprise I learned that the group before me was the Board of Directors of the University. I also leamed that Skeeterville University had been founded and was managed solely by these persons before me! On this Board of Directors are Frank Tink Dunlap and Jack Wilcoxon, famous politiciansg Maynard Sharp, presi- dent of the university, Fred Griffith, Eugene Morrison and Fred Radford, big business tycoonsg Bob Cutie Meyers, owner of the local radio station NROC Cs elled backwards- cornlz Bill Cox, owner of a strin off theaters: jimmy Cooper, noted radio comedian: and Eugene Stratton, well- known press agent of many celebrities. Even more alarming was the fact that the faculty of this progressive college was made up almost entirely of my old classmates. In the sports departments there were Claude Hopper Dent and jerry Davis as head football coaches, with Bob Brinkley and Whitey Chandler in charge of the basket- ball teams, and Rudy Chandler and Sammy French coach- ing baseball. Then I found that Milton Meyers was the professor of electronicsg Richard Baria, teacher in the school of aviation: Orin Graves and Gaby Lefebvre, professors in the school of engineeringg and Professors Joe VanCamp and Iohn Davies, heads of the scientific research department. Teaching are to the would-be artists of tomorrow were Lorna Underwood and Sarah Hankla. Glenna Dent and Mary Reba Moore are professors in the English department with Ramsey Richardson as the journalism instructor Qjust couldn't get away from news- paper work of some kind, I guessj. Showing the students how to write love letters to their little friends across the sea are French professors Cordelia Magnuson and Kenneth King. Bob Dent is the big man in the College of Forestry and has Richard Rader teaching physics in this division. Charlotte Turley recently became the Dean of Girls and Elizabeth Cash is her rpersonal secretary. Private stenog- rapher to the college presi ent is Betty Cook. In the medical college, the famous surgeons Phyllis Bays and Betty Lawson have everything under control Cand most of the students under etherD. The noted historians Wanda Giles and Juanita Sewell are also employed at S. U. . Bob Estep runs the industrial arts school and Paul Doug- las is the Professor of Mathematics. O course, in the business college I expected to find Ruth Sims and Io Ann Dodd instructing. Head of the School of Dramatics was Beulah Mullins, With Betty McClure and Carolyn Reed teaching the stu- dents what to do on a dance floor. Delphia Medley was on hand, too, to run over the scales with the songbirds of the college. Instructing the gals that want to leam about housework are Barbara Barker and Emma Morton. Pat Watson is the physical education instructor for girlsg and Corrinne Gum just couldn't break away from the high- steppers. She spends her time at S. U. telling the girls to pick 'em up high and point 'em! After this long chat with the board of directors, finding out who's who around the campus, I decided it was time. to get ready for the reunion dance tonight. Fl- X- W- ,F june Griffiths exclusive night club was the scene of the dance and the music was furnished bv Don Deardorff's popular orchestra. I had intended to be sure and see everyone, so I thought it would be easiest to stop at each table. Strolling up to the first table I found Margaret Price. fashion designer, and Nora Lou Lyon, purchasing agentg both of Bagstone's 7th Ave. There, too, was Imogene Pettit, president of the New Old Look Manufacturing Company Ctheir specialty is Gibson Girl blousesD. At the next table I found society playboy Bob Grishaber, the famous movie stars Charlie Chandler and Bruce Lyttle flirting with Eunice Skaggs, Mary Ann McAtee, Ruby Parker Mace, Barbara Hill, Ioan Panther, Barbara Griffith Page Sixty-nine 120010 ec? and Anna Hall. Although these pretty girls are married and settled down, they're still the belles of every ball. Moving on I noticed the vocalists lean Denny, Norman Casto and Raymond DeHainaut. They became famous by introducing the many tunes of that great song-writing team, john and Tom Oakes. They have made manv records for Charles Songer's recording company, sponsor of the 24 hour radio request program on local stations. Disc iockeys for this program are Tommy George and Iohn Robertson. As I moved on, a Hash of navy blue caught by cyes. Turning I saw Admirals Jack Smith and Bill Bates. Stopping for a chat, I learned that on a recent trip to South America, they had seen the United States Ambas- sador to Brazil, James Mallory, who informed them that he would not be able to come to the reunion but wished to be remembered to all. Noticing James Dillon slightly bandaged up, I in- uired of the cause and learned he had had a little acci- dent testing -Iarvis' jet jobs for Luther Jarvis. Then my eyes beheld the distinguished countenance of Jean Pike. now head of the S. K .I. P. CSchool Kids in Protestb Union. She was discussing the unjustness of forcing kids to go to school with the local police chief, Buddy George. About to run Rip Kirby out of business, are his ace detectives, Charlie Cobb, Marlin Cook, Marvin Titus, Clarance Spurlock, Joe Higginbotham, Glen Phillips and Iim Pickens. Crowding around Dot Burgy, several times National winner of the title Miss Sweater Girl, were some of the local business men: Clayton Harper, owner of several housing proiectsg Bob Burgess, owner of a chain of new bowling alleys: Roy Hughes, president of the bank, Homer Meadows, owner of the famous Derby Upis horse racing track, Maurice Cod, who now has several Sandwich Shops , and Myron McCoy, president of the helicopter taxi service. Well, here comes millionairess Betty Corvin, all dressed up like a jewelry store. Hair-do has the unmistakable styl- ing of beautician Deloris Murphy. Escorting her are Charles Le Sueur and Don Le Clare, makers of the new modern Le-Le car. The lights of the night club dimmed and up to the piano stepped Martha Smith, celebrated concert pianist, and Kenneth Perraut, well known for his accordian playing, who played a duet. Page Seventy Betty Miller and Eugene Clark, owners of the world's largest roller skating rink, have arranged a floor show to add to the entertainment. Mary Hudson, world's champion lad wrestler, was quietly munching some of Dorothy Chandler's fine choco- lates, while Ruby Wood, famous columnist, was feverishly writing down the gossip of the dance. I was informed by Martha Myers Morgan that she and some of the other married women of '48 had formed a club. The members are: Gwen Meyer, Yvonne White, Elizabeth Austin, Losie Pierce, Betgy Clark, Ianice Turley, Betty Mooney, Martha Sturgill, lveeta Reeves, Wilma Skaggs, Helene Shultz, and Sue Edwards. Local business women are tryin to form a union that permits them to primp during ofliceghours. So far there are in this group: Betty Johnson, Louana Derrick, Carolyn Baum, Carolyn Boggs, Sally Jane Youn , Ioan Davis, Ianet Frymier, Margaret Godby, Thelma Hzill, Genevieve Law- son, Wanda Hensley, Ieanette Watts, and Phyllis Hartley. Good luck, girls. Wayne Higginbotham runs an Odd Job Service, I hear, with David Marples, Bob Snyder, Bill Thornton, john Tucker, Bob Swarbrick, T. G. Sisk, james Baber, Jim Car- son, Richard Douglas, and Tommy Daniels as his crew of workers. Lawrence Mangus is running a delivery service and has on his staff: jim Roberts, Johnny Rhodes, Bob Childress, Charles Hanna, Bob Watts, Sherman Bryant, and Shirley Hearn. Still hopping from state to state is Anne Means, who has a nice big salary coming from the Interstate Commerce Commission. Getting rich quick describes Melba Solina now. She owns a chain of restaurants and some of her managers are Mary Oakes, Beatrice Ruckman, Evelyn Barnette, and Grace Buck. At the close of this successful reunion, the gang broke ' ll 7, up into groups, some headed. for Campus Corner, others to various restaurants, and a few still remembered Kanawha State Forest as a good place to roast marshmallows late at night. It was swell seeing everyone again and it sure was nice to know that all were doing well in their respective fields. Since such a good time was had by all, I imagine there will be another reunion in a few years, so I'll be seeing you all then. Good luck! .

KEYS This year's X-Ray staff regained the state journalism award of First Honors High School Publication, which it has held since 1932 with the exception of two years. Ten issues were published and distributed, all but one containing six or eight pages, sometimes more. The annual spellingfcontest was again promoted byjthe X-Ray. The greatest volume of advertising was sold this year of any X-Ray advertising staff to date. Larger layouts and more effective use of pictures are to be found in the '47-'48 issues than ever before. The coverage story and makeup of the issue in which the Kanawha County Majorette festival was featured, was judged by the Daily Mail as the best of the various school newspaper editions turnednin by county high schools.

In the years ahead we can look back, with satisfaction, upon the excellent record our boys have made for them- selves. Here is a review of the '47 schedule which I'm sure will bring back to mind the many thrills and chills of those days when we sat in the stands, under our colors, yelling our heads off for the best team in the state: the ol' Orange and Black. South Charleston opened their 1947 season in grand style by defeating Montgomery 19-0. Then another victory was chalked up for the Orange and Black, that of a 19-7 score over Mount Hope. Bill Weber's boys managed to take a 7-O lead over the Huntington East eleven but the Highlanders came back to Win 14-13. Out to revenge a 32-O score of last year our boys played a hard and CLEAN game, however, the Generals proved too strong for the Eagles and the game endedg Stonewall jackson 47, South Charleston 0. Although the underdog in the S. C.-East Bank clash, Page One Hundred Tan the Chemists proved themselves by tripping the Pioneers 19-7. Again the ol' Orange and Black proved to the world that they were made of the right stuff by sending Barbours- ville into a 13-0 defeat. Remembering the 39-6 defeat suffered at the hands of Saint Albans last year the Eagles fought hard and led 7-6 at the close of the half. The end of the game came with the strong St. Albans eleven leading with a score 20-7. Charleston Catholic was next on the long list of victories for South Charleston, dropping 12-O. Through the brilliant playing of Whitie Chandler, who scored all four touchdowns and threw the extra point pass to Henson making the Hnal score 25-O, the Eagles chalked up another win. This time Madison was the victim. With the Lions Club trophy at stake, the Chemists, under the leadership of Kissy Henson, rang up an 18-7 decision over the Dunbar Bulldogs. The Orange and Black, piloted by Captain Jerry Davis, had a very good season, winning seven while losing only three. Coaches Weber and Ruby should be congratulated, even praised for their excellent job in turning out a Win- ning teach such as we had. 3.,.,tL.H A I Q 559' a t X ,il D ,::. ..,:.v.

Z?a5AeLLga Qlfiew South Charleston High School's team, in any field ol sports, especially football and basketball, has long been known as an unpredictable team. In many eases in the history of its sports, South Charleston has emerged vic- torious where sure defeat was certain by the spectators. South Charleston bowed to Charleston 3641, for the first game of the season in a hair raising game. South Charleston came out victors in the next game, with Clen- denin, 52-47. Then the mighty Fighting Irishmenn, from Charleston Catholic won the fight with the Eagles, by a margin of ten points, 50-40. The next three games were easy pickin ' you might say, Dunbar, East Bank and Fayetteville bowing to the conquering Eagles. Then St. Albans, Stonewall, and Catholic turned the tables, and South Charleston went down in three straight deleats. The Black Eagles came back in the winning column by overthrowing liavetteville and Clendenin. Then came the black period in the 1948 basketball sea- son. South Charleston lost live straight games to Beckley, Princeton, Bluefield, East Bank, and Charleston. East Bank crashed through in an overtime game and won by one point margin, 39-40. Revenge at long last: the lllaek Eagles swooped down victorious and the Generals iell oil their horses and bowed low to the conquering Eagles, 65-56. The St. Albans Red Dragons turned pink when the Eagles won by a six point margin, 59-55. Princeton stopped the Eagles short bv 63-59. The Dunbar Bulldogs didn't growl so liereely at the lllack Eagles in either oi' the games, especially in the last game when the Black Eagles chased Dunbar home with a delleat oi' 41-19.

Thinclads', were only in their second year of existance, and that they were handicapped in everv wav by the lack of equipment, a track, etc., they set a prettv good record for themselves. It is true that they scored few points but we must be reminded that they were up against teams that outclassed them, teams that have had the necessary facilities for the development of a good track and field team. ln only one meet were the Eagles classed as they should be-that was the Kanawha Valley Conference Meet. In this meet the Orange and Black showed that when placed among equal odds they could and would shine. South Charleston took first and second in nearly every event and broke six of the seven records that were broken. From the very first CVCIH of the day, the Medlv relay CWilliams, Adkins, Le Sueur, Quickl, in which they broke the previous meet record by seven seconds, the S. C. cinder crew led the field in scoring. Crawford won the broad jump, the one hundred yard dash, placed second in the 220 yard dash, and anchored Page Ont' llmnlrutl lweulv the mile relay team CLeSueur, Williariis, Amos, and Crawfordj which broke last year's meet record by 17 seconds, to be the high point man of the day with lbw points. Roy Hughes won the discus, tied for first for the high iump, with Steve Adkins, and placed second in the shot put. jerry Davis also helped the cause by winning the shot put with a record throw of 39' 9 , placing second in the discus throw, and by sparking the shuttle hurdle relay team CDavis, Hughes, Titus, Chandlerj to win and set a new meet record.

Built over a hundred years ago, the cabin stood like a majestic weatherbeaten monument of another era, on the old Kanawha and James river coach road, now known as Kanawha Turnpike. W. E. Oakes, a flatboat captain, and uncle of L. H. Oakes, was the original owner of the log cabin. Dr. C. W. Shepherd of Spring Hill lived in the cabin for a time, and his son, T. T. Shep- herd, was born there. The house was one of the two oldest structures and perhaps the most picturesque thing in modern South Charleston.

SOUTH Charleston was but an infant back in those days. The Indian Mound, chemical plants, McClung 81 Morgan and a whale of a lot of vacant land were the outstanding sights in our town in l9l7. THEN, in l926, we got South Charleston High School . . . a proud addition for the folks of Chemical City, which by this time had swung into its rapid growth towards being one of the outstanding business and civic communities of the State. EVERY year since l926, in fact I2 years, we've shared the bright, anxious faces of Black Eagle graduates, eagerly look- ing forward to the opportuni- ties in the world before them. The earlier grads were no dif- ferent than you of the Class of '48 lllii THEY shared the same school day joys and hard study, they were all confronted on Com- mencement Day with the same problem of finding a place in the college or business world . . . just as you are today. YES, they were much the same as you. Many of them, like you, while in school, depended upon McClung 81 Morgan for their department store needs. And now in later years they keep returning for quality clothing, appliances, furniture and the thousands of other articles you would expect to find in a modern department store. So we offer our congratula- tions but not good-byes to the Great Class of '-48. We hope to serve you often as your career unfolds in fu- ture years. lim ' 5001!

If you are thinking about entering the retailing field, let me tell you about my experience. Variety store business is fast-moving and interesting. Each counter is a store in itself. Here at Murphy's, one yearns retailing from the bottom up! I started out as an extra salesgirl, working every day after school. When I graduated, I was fortunate to be placed in charge of a counter. I never knew how really interesting this work could be . . . it's just like having a shop of my own. l'm growing here, tak- ing more responsibility as I go. There's still more room for advancement . . . I can work myself into is a position of merchandise buyer, section super- visor or bookkeeper in the office. And a few weeks ago one of our girls was selected to train for the job of Personnel Directress in a large new Murphy Store. All of us at Murphy's have an equal chance to better ourselves . . . and there isn't a store in town to beat Murphy's on employee benefits! If you're ambitions to make a go of retailing, join the gang at Murphy's. And from what I can see Murphy's is tops in training! 'A' G. C.
