FOOTPRINTS VOLUME TEN NINETEEN HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO NINETEEN HUNDRED FIFTY-THREE “And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time Published By The Senior Classes Of Nineteen Hundred Fifty-Two And Fifty-Three The South Hill High School South Hill, Virginia BEFORE FIRE EXPLANATION Just before our Annual for 1951- 19 52 was to have been sent to the publisher, it was destroyed by fire along with all records when the High School building burned on May 20, 1952. Therefore, we are herewith combining two annuals. We hope that you will understand our diffi- culties and enjoy and appreciate our 1952-1953 yearbook. AFTER FIRE Each year of untiring and under- standing guidance makes Miss Hatch dearer to our hearts, and it is with deepest feelings of admiration and respect that we dedicate the 1952 portion of this edition of FOOT- PRINTS to MISS DELPHINE HATCH. To her real and abiding friend- ship, and to her wise and discerning counsel, we wish to pay sincere and loving tribute. We dedicate the 1953 portion of this edition of FOOT- PRINTS to MISS MARGUERITE TRIMM. MR. CHARLES HENRY MORGAN B. A. , University of Richmond M.

GRADUATING CLASS OF 1953 VALEDICTORIAN Rose Callahan Jeanne Ogburn SALUTATORY Ann Lee Hines THIRD HONOR Helen Northington FOURTH HONOR Elizabeth Walker FIFTH HONOR Marion Orr WHO ' S WHO MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Rose Callahan Eddie Harris MOST POPULAR Jean Ferguson Joe Jordan BEST DRESSED Ann Lee Hines Eddie Harris MOST INTELLECTUAL Rose Callahan Eddie Harris MOST MUSICAL Betty McAden Joe Jordan MOST ATHLETIC Joan Ferguson Douglas Bugg CLASS HISTORY The history of the class of 1953 , is so dramatic and colorful that it resembles a play. May I re- view for you the highlights of this 4 act drama. Its plot touched the lives of many as they played their parts with Mr. Morgan, chief director, aided by the faculty, parents, and many other assistants. The scenes of the first three acts, except for a short while, are in the classrooms, auditoriums, cafeteria, and surrounding grounds of South Hill High School which had stood since 1922. The settings are plain, often not adaquate, showing signs of much use, but well loved. Act I opens with the arrival of 61 actors whose timidity and curious mistakes furnish bright comedy moments. Cast as leaders for this group are Eddie Harris, Bones Lambert, Henery Copely, and Douglas Bugg. Jeanne Ogburn and Yvonne Mewborn take the spot lights as Homecoming attendants Rose Callahan and Yvonne as May Day attendants. One of the important scenes in this act the actors, better known as Freshmen, are selling magazine. With zest and great enthusiasm they went hither and yon busily persuading or enticing many to subscribe. Their efforts were a big success and in- creased the financial status of the class. Some of the actors gave joy to the spectators by their athletic feats. At the close of the act some have droped out of the cast for difficult reasons, but the group of actors left are looking forward to the 2nd act. In Act II the players seem to have acquired a feeling of security and confident with perhaps an air of knowing it all. Costumes are a bit more elaborate with more make-up used. More love affairs creep into the story and the action of the play moves more swiftly and is sometimes louder. A girl is the leader now, Betty McAden, with Eddie Harris, Rose Callahan, Ann Lee Hines, and Yvonne Mewborn assisting. To bring in money the actors or Sophmores, staged a hay ride, one that is still remember- ed by the cast for its after effects- a cold that many had for a week afterward. Excitement runs high as the homecoming parade is held with Marion Orr an Attendant to the Queen and thrills abound in the football game that follows. May Day brings beauty and color and staring in the cast are Marion Orr and Ann Lee Hines. Act III finds the cast without some of its former members. The actors are changed in looks, in manner, and in interests. It seems an entirely new play and much more eventful. Could any former scene surpass the beauty and enjoyment of the lovely banquet and dance in this act? Another scene, which catches the eye of everyone is the Juniors receiving their class-rings. Cast as leaders this time are Bobby Jean Mize, Eddie Harris, Marion Orr, Ann Lee Hines, and Betty McAden. Staring in Home- coming are Frankie Mitchell and Ethel Reid, and in May Day Frankie and Betty. As they watch us produce our play, the onlookers are in turn downcast-elated, amused, and sometimes provoked as the parts are portrayed in classes, clubs, meetings, and social events. Many unexpected things occurr in this act, climaxed on the fateful evening of May 20th when all the scenery and setting are destroyed. The actors and directors stand by helplessly as flames licked up and through the high school building. The actors show their true abilities and characters in this emergency and move into a tempory setting at La Crosse High School. And so the show goes on with the final scenes portrayed back in South Hill at the Church. Act IV finally arrives and is warmly received, by this time the actors are so matured, so at ease, so changed for the better that they are difficult to recognize. Acting on the hew stage presents prob- lems at first but by making the best of things and taking the handicaps in their stride the players con- tinue better than ever. And as the setting is new so are the stars. Joe Jordan, Bones Lambert, Ann Lee Hines, Jean Ferguson, and Virginia Smelly are the leaders now. Ann Lee also starred as a lovely Homecoming Queen with Agnes Ashworth and Jean Ferguson attending her. A one of the highlights of this act is a scene in which the actors portray a Senior play. This is enjoyed by all and a lot of fun for the cast. Through out the play and especially in the last act the sports add to the enjoyment in which Joe Jordan, Doug Bugg, Bobby Griffith, Bones Lambert, Eddie Harris, Potter Anderson, Rich- ard Tanner, Ridgeway Edens, and Ricky Bagley take part. For May Day the scenery is changed again. Betty McAden is Queen, Potter Anderson King, Agnes Ashworth Maid of Honor, with Jean Ferguson and Nora Willis attendants. Most of the play is over now, but I ' d like to take a glimpse into the last scenes after this beautiful banquet and dance the Juniors are giving. The actors will take a trip to New York. After returning they will practice and reherse for their final performance in which the play ends in a burst of glory, with flowers, music, and congratulations - in short, graduation ex- ercises; and we will have the well-known and ever popular happy ending. Betty McAden, Historian CLASS PROPHECY One summer evening in the year of 1973, as I was sitting in my garden, rain began to fall. It was only a light shower and as it passed I found that night had fallen and the first star of the evening was peering down upon me. Not thinking I uttered these words: Star light. Star Bright, First star I ' ve seen tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might. Have the wish I wish tonight. Then as I searched through my mind to think of a wish, I decided that I would like to see once again the South Hill Senior Class of 1953. Thinking of each Senior I sat watching the stars as they came out one by one. Then I must have dozed off to sleep. Gradually the stars seemed to guide me to the various corners of the world to see my former classmates. The first classmate that I recognized was Potter Anderson. He had on thick glasses and I learned that he had become Einstien ' s sucessor. All of a sudden Charlotte Allgood came running down the street in her woman police outfit. She was chasing a hot rod and the driver was Jean Ferguson. The case was taken to court and Ricky Bagley as head of the F. B. I. investigated it. The judge, Bobby Griffith, pronounced her guilty. This didn ' t at all please Richard Tanner, the Governor of the state of Virginia, so the case was dropped and Jean was free again. In the next scene I saw that Eddie Harris had designed a new space ship that would go to the moon. Littleton Lewis was to be the first person to try out this ship. He left the next day for the moon! ! ! In New York I found three great artists that were in the Senior class. Jean Ann Dixon was a famous singer. Her best selling record was, Slapping my Baby Back Home. Kathy Daniels was now a movie star and had just been awarded an oscar for the best actress of the year. Irene Rutter was a dancer and could be seen at the Valerio Theater on Broadway. Paris, France, was the next stop and there I recognized Virginia Smelly, who was a model for the Tanner Designing Company. Mildred was specializing in bathing suits. As this scene vanished from view, Joyce Paynter, Joan Ferguson, and Lucille Thompson appeared to me and informed me that they were all happily married. The stars then guided me to a little town called Denver, Colorado. Here Jeanne Ogburn was a re- porter on the Denver Star and she was interviewing Elizabeth Walker who had just been selected as the Mother of the year! ! Next I saw Rev. and Mrs. Joe Jordan. They were walking down the street holding hands just as they used to do. They were talking to Rev. Ridgeway Edens. Mrs Jordan was formerly Betty McAden. Then I talked to Yvonne Mewborn and Douglas Bugg. Yvonne told me she is an entomologist which had something to do with bugs. Yes, you ' re right, she was still chasing Buggs. With her in the chase was her devoted husband, Doug. They were living in Texas because Doug was- a Sgt. in the Air Force. I now visited Jacqueline Forbes at Grace Hospital where she was the Superintendent of nurses. Her patient was none other than Helen Northington who had broken her little finger while punching away at the typewriter. I then came in contact with Nora Willis. She was a psycholanalyst and with her was Mary Watson, her secretary. Nora seemed to be listening to Marion Orr who was a rich bachelor girl. They couldn ' t find out where Marion got all of her money! ! ! An airplane came into sight and on it was General, Edward Thompson. The hostess of this Army plane was Agnes Ashworth and Joyce Lynch was the nurse. They were having quite a time trying to make General Thompson fasten his safety belt. As I was on my way to the west coast, someone called to me and it was Rose Lee Faulkner. I learn- ed from her that she was on her way to Oregon to dig for gold. Suddenly I found myself in dear old South Hill, Va. I landed at Burlington Mills only to discover that Lloyd Tanner was the new manager. They had had a minor casulty at the mill for someone had stubbed their toe and Lloyd immediately called Mary Jane McCall at Medical College to fix the wound. As I looked about the place- 1 noticed that Nellie Hudson was the telephone operator. From this town I ventured to the city of Norfolk, Va. to see what I could see. There was Ann Lee Hines. She was living near the navy yard and is very happily married. She was going to the library to get some books and chat awhile with Rose Callahan, the librarian. After this she was going to the beauty salon to get an appointment with Frances Norton to fix her hair. I journeyed onward to Florida where I came to a huge mansion. This was the home of Ethel Reid Crutchfield. I found that Becky Moss was her private secretary. Walking down the street in Miami, Florida, was Robert Flippen Jr. who had just made his second million loafing. More power to him! ! With him was a man in tuxs, a homberg hat, and swinging a cane. He was none other than Bones Lambert, the world ' s richest hobo. I began to realize that there was a faint outline of a school before me. As the picture grew clearer I distinguished Fay Chapman, as secretary to Harvey Moody, the instructor of Agriculture at V. P. I. As daylight began to fall and the stars grew fewer in number, I was taken to Sun Valley where I renewed my acquaintance with Ruby Norwood and learned that she was a ski instructor here. All at once I realized that it was morning and once again the rain began to fall. My wish had come true and I had seen all of the Seniors of the class of 53 . The future of one had been left untold but shall we say that the life of Deanie Yale has been a very happy one? Deanie Yale, Class Prophet WE THE CLASS OF 53- BEING OF SOUND JUDGEMENT AND MIND OFFER THIS, OUR LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT TO THOSE WE LEAVE BEHIND To our principal, Mr. Morgan We leave our heartiest thanks For all of the advice so good And for those unheard of spanks Our love we leave Mrs. Bryson Who tried to teach us right Government, Latin, and please don ' t forget Homework, every night.

Her talent for English Is left by Mary Jane McCall To Dicky May he surpass them all Getting along with the latin book A hobby of the Ogburn girl, Jeanne This she leaves to Bunky Warren The rest is yet to be seen. To have and to hold a man from Ohio Is the ability of Virginia Smelley This she leaves to Juanita Allgood And hopes she can do that as well. Richard Tanner wills to Carlton Walker I ' m sure he ' ll be gald to hear it The dollar he owes him Although he may never come near it. His quietness, Edward Thompson leaves To Nickie who loves to talk a lot Maybe this will show her down We don ' t know whether it will or not. To Harold Burrell, Joe Wills His dogs and gun So come next fall He can get some hunting done. Harvey Moody wills his English Theme And his way with Mrs. McBride To a boy friend Lacy Norton May his conscience be his guide. Martha Stanley Valerio Said to one I do Cleave And to all of the Juniors She just says, I do leave. From the class of 53 To the Juniors and other classes, too Here is one thing we would like to leave to you; A wish that you may have a nice, big consolidated school with opportunities galore.

The Queen, Ann Lee Hines, and her attendants were entertained during the day by a parade, dinner party, football game and dance. All of the floats in the parade were extremely good. The Hillcrest Garden Club won first place, with the Jr. Women ' s Club winning second. The Queens float got honorary mention as being the prettiest in the parade. Later after the dinner party the coure got ready for the Homecoming game with Lawren- ceville. During the half the Queen was crowned, by her father, in a very impressive coronation. After this the game was continued ending in a tie 13-13. Soon the Queen and her court arrived at the dance where the music given by the Carol- inas, was being enjoyed by all. However time soon slipped by ending the dance at one o ' clock, and bring to a close the most wonderful homecoming we ' ve ever had. DANCE Time - 9:00 P. M.
