'Bias 1' 'A 'igbf Memoirs, 1955 page Thfee OVZWOI' ln the days of legendary King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, the ideals of Chivalry . . . honesty, fair play, tolerance, kindness, moral ethics, mu- tual respect and admiration . . . abounded in the minds of the people. The Age of Chivalry has passed, but its ideals of social behavior should be'maintained in the life of each individual. lt is our purpose to portray these ideals in the pages of this book. Page Four Mem airs, 1955 ,af Howard Sonny Lee Beckett's friendly personality and witty ways have made him well-known to the students of South Charleston High School. Sonny was stricken with infantile paralysis in 1953 and was taken to the Morris Memorial Hos- pital in Milton, West Virginia. Through most of the last two years Sonny has been con- fined in an iron lung. Although confronted with much dis- couragement, he has lost neither faith nor hope. To our classmate, Sonny Beckett, whose courage is an in- spiration to us all, the i955 MEMOIRS is affectionately dedicated.

The expansion of the school was made necessary by the steadily increasing enrollment. The new building, costing approximately S28l,0O0, was designed by the architect, L. T. Bengston, and constructed by the contractor, Bowers and Chilton, lnc. One outstanding department of the new building is the band room, featuring walls and ceiling treated with acoustical tile, built-in instrument cabinets, and an asphale-tile floor. Auto mechanics, art, electronics, home economics, and mechanical drawing are to be taught in the new addition. The expansion will enable the enrollment to be increased to twelve hund- red students. . ,, i WW-fi,--i. i 1 i , i .im is 22'::xs1f::wf--- 21' 'ii 1 1 H 1 i . figg,iQ,w1 .i ...fr Vi ix X , kkg, 5,5 . , X, N ,, .,,5i.,,. , ei r 1' ali . ww vw lib' F . - 4 fm 1, 4' Ml 1 ,.,1 fi' I W 1 ' V , 4l L . gl 'K Z W by M 4 MQVWAXV in ..

Twerp Week, January 31 through February 4, was the girl's week to treat the boys. A full week of activi- ties was planned to raise money to purchase a record player for use in the cafeteria. On Friday before Twerp Week, each girl was required to register her date for the on-coming events. The activities of the week began with a cartoon movie at noon, follow- ed throughout the week by classic basketball games, a talent show, and a noon dance. This festive week was climaxed by the Gold Digger's Dance on Friday night.

Gkorisfers .Make The purpose of the GLEE CLUB AND CHOIR is to develop an appreciation for good choral music of all periods by singing it. The club members strive to serve the school, the church, and the community. All the members enjoy the companionship and friendly atmosphere that are always present when a group works togeth- er fo: enjoyment and service. This year the club presented its annual Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter programs for the enjoyment of the student body. Suzi Foglesong, president of the club, won first prize in the Light Opera Guild's Annual Voice Contest. A trio composed of Tom Nester, Ray McCormick, and Herbie Smith were heard on radio station WGKV, Charleston.

Their orange and black colors present a colorful spectacle on parade and during half time at the football games. Many hours of practice and effort are re- quired of each member to enable the band to present a good performance. Both fourth and sixth periods daily are spent in marching and drill prac- tice for the maneuvers during half time. Co-operation, teamwork, and the effort of their capable director, Mr. A. E.

Recognized professionally as THE CHEMETTES, these boys are known to their classmates as Ray- mond Lancaster, Larry Combs, Butch Woods, Don Martin, Tom Cavendish, Bob Dent, David Kirkhart, David Poteet, and Edwin Rollyson. Their talented pianist is Suzi Foglesong and they are managed by Macon Carwile. These talented and versatile young men made their professional debut on station WGKV on the Teen- agers. Since that day they have entertained their South Charleston friends and neighbors in assemblies, club meetings, and dances. All THE CHEMETTES, including Tom Cavendish, leader, are members of the South Charleston High School Band. Using initiative and enthusiasm, they have developed a very fine orchestra of which we may well be proud. Thank you, CHEMETTES, for your wonderful work, and good luck from all of us in future years.

JAMES WLSNW4 11 NW-X W , gli Nr 2 X lu M y 'if x R V R 1 , P RN ii South Charleston opened the season on a winning note by defeating DuPont 26-19. Hawkins took a pitchout for the first 'score and then passed to Steele for the second. A Panther drive in the second quar- ter deadlocked the score I3-13 at the half. In the third quarter Hawkins again moved the ball for an- other touchdown. DuPont battled back but failed to tie the score, as Bill White blocked the try for the extra point. In the fourth quarter the Chemists add- ed the insurance' touchdown as Hawkins scored again. One of the most memorable games of the season was the 32-7 defeat handed Charleston High by the Black Eagles. A first quarter deadlock was finally broken as Alex Hawkins plunged from the one yard line to put the Eagles ahead 7-O. Before the half ended, Ron Steele intercepted a pass and ran 55 yards to put the Chem-City boys ahead by I3-O. Ron Steele again helped the Eagles' cause as he pulled down a Charleston pass in the second half and marched to the goal line. Hawkins also scored in this half as he went the final seven yards on a pitch- out. A last-second touchdown by Charleston made the final score 32-7. Dick Hawkins and Larry Wil- son were defensive standouts for the Black Eagles. 60726 Although Jim Smith and Alex Hawkins played an outstanding game, Nitro, with the superb playing of All-KVC Bill Trout, handed the Black Eagles their first loss of the season 26-18. The highlight of the game was a 77 yard kick-off return on the opening play by Jim Smith. Hawkins scored the other two touchdowns, one on an end-around and the other a line buck. The Black Eagles returned to their winning ways by downing Seth 25-6. After the Chemists recovered a Tide fumble, Jim Smith carried the pigskin for the touchdown and later passed to Larry Wilson in the end zone. John Edwards pounced on a fumble for the third goal, and Ralph Cottrell accounted for the fourth touchdown on a pass interception. A lone Seth tally came in the fourth period to make the final score 25-6. South Charleston won its fourth game of the season as the Chemists defeated Milton 26-7. The Black Eagles completely dominated the game as they scored in every period but the fourth. Four Eagles took wings to score-Hartman, Hawkins, White, and Steele. The Greyhounds were able to score only when they picked up a South Charleston fumble and dashed the remaining nine yards. f ---W -- i- W -,-i.g..TK...i-- gfiqfzfiqlzfs Alex Hawkins showed the fans what made him first team quarterback on the ALL-KVC Team as he led the Black Eagles to a 30-20 victory over East Bank. Hawkins scored three touchdowns-as Bill White and Jim Boley scored the Chemists' other two tallies. Bob Durst scored all three of the East Bank goals. South Charleston traveled to Barboursville with high hopes of upsetting the Pirates but were disap- pointed 35-2l. At one point in the game the Black Eagles held o 14-7 lead, but this was short-lived as Barboursville scored twice more to put them out of the reach of the Eagles' claws. Steele scored the first touchdown on a pass completion. Hawkins scored the other two touchdowns and made good all three conversions. St. Albans continued its unsuccessful drive for the State Championship os they eked out a I9-l4 win over South Charleston. The Black Eagles, lead- ing I4-l3 in the final minutes, saw the Dragons block a punt and score for a I9-l4 victory. Touchdowns by Wilson and Shamblin and a safety gave South Charleston its hard-earned l4. Coach Ruby's Block Eagles showed their strength by trouncing Catholic 45-O. Jerry Shamblin was the key man as he threw four passes and lateraled for five of the Eagles seven touchdowns. Crossing the goal line were Ron Steele, Alex Hawkins, Jim Smith, and Ed Steele. The Lions Club Trophy rests for another year in the halls of S.C.H.S. after a 7-O victory over a strong Dunbar team. The Black Eagles threatened twice in the first half with drives to the Bulldog ll and 6 yard lines. After a clipping penalty shoved the Rubymen back to their own 8 yard line, they went the remaining 92 yards in three plays. Going over right tackles, Hawkins gained 38 yards to the South Charleston 46. After a one yard loss, Jim Smith took o pitchout from Jerry Shamblin and raced 55 yards for the lone touchdown. Hawkins then split the up- rights to make it 7-0. The Bulldogs threatened in the third and fourth quarters but these were short- lived as Steele and Smith intercepted passes deep in Black Eagle territory. Great line play by Richard Hawkins and John Edwards highlighted the victory for South Charleston. were k66I'!66lJ6l'5 , .

The South Charleston Black Eagles completed a very successful basketball season by finishing second in the Kanawha Valley Conference and compiling an overall record of eighteen wins and three losses. Dis- playing fine balance and expert coaching, they de- feated every team at least once. The three losses were at the hands of Dunbar, Clendenin, and Stone- wall. On January 7, the Chemists invaded Nitro, pre- season favorite, and after a hard-fought battle, brought home a victory with a 77-64 score. Four other teams fell under the Eagles' claws and, seeking another addition to their five game winning streak, the Chem-city boys encountered powerful Stonewall. All five starting players hit double figures as they easily disposed of the Generals by 77-50. This vic- tory gave the Jamison crew the K. V. C. lead which they held until they were defeated by Clendenin, M emoirs, 1 955 After gaining a victory over Barboursville, the Black Eagles were ready to face the defending state champion, Beckley, at the South Charleston Recre- ation Center. Jerome Van Meter's Flying Eagles were knocked from their perch for the third time in three seasons by the local quintet. After downing East Bank, Huntington East, and St. Albans, the Chemists again returned to the Morris Harvey boards to face Stonewall. The Generals were seeking revenge and, before a packed house, put down a stubborn South Charleston five to win 59-54. Catholic was the victim as the Jamison boys bounced back into the winning column, and a week later the Eagles downed Charleston to sew up second place in the K. V. C. and end seasonal play. The team, under the expert coaching of Clem Buck Jamison, played exceptional ball throughout the season. They employed teamwork, balance, and a superb fast break in downing their opponents. Page One Hundred Twenty seven l l Our Sfarfilzq ive Demonstrating physical coordination and adept ball handling, the team played superbly against all opponents. The left-hand side of a famous fast break was handled by JIM SMITH, junior standout. Senior JACK SHAMBLIN, a scoring ace, cut the cords numerous times with an accurate push shot. Using his deadly hook shot, J. F. MULLEN played the pivot with per- fection. ALEX HAWKINS, key man on the fast-break, swished many set shots from outer court. Rounding out the team was ROY HANING, a cool ball player and right-hand mon on the fast-break. Page Om: Ilundrcd Tiucnty-eight Memoirs, 1955 if Q P Q Is 33 ,.

The spring of l954 opened a new era in sports for South Charleston High-TRACK. The first track team in South Charleston history was organized in i948 under the direction of Mr. Jerome Ruby, However, this was discontinued after one year because of inadequate equipment. Last year track was reorganized with Jerome Ruby as head coach. The 1954 thinclads participated in six meets-Nitro Invitational, Stonewall Invitational, DuPont Dual, Chemical Valley Conference, Sectional Meet, and the State Meet. The Black Eagles finished in a tie for third with St. Albans in the CVC behind Dunbar and DuPont. ln this meet Alex Hawkins set a record for the broad jump with a leap of 20 feet 2 inches. Although this was the only event in which the Chemists placed first, they did place in lO of the 15 events. South Charleston qualified for the State Meet by taking fourth place in the shuttle-hurdle relay in the Sectional. This relay team was composed of Jerry Chandler, George Shea, Earl Grinstead, and Louis Kellenberger.
