GQFQ agar 50500 All hail to thee, Alma Mater Dear St. Clare Walker High School, so named after the eminent Professor John Henry St. Clare Walker, a native of Middlesex County, and currently teacher of mathematics, but for a number of years was principal, has grown from a small frame building at Syringa, Virginia, to a moderately large well-equipped brick one now located at Stor- mont, Virginia. At one time the school was called Langston Training School because a Rev. Langston helped to organize it. Later the school became Middlesex High School with a beginning staff of two teachers .for the high school department. Graded school and high school were in the same building. The present school does not have a graded school depart- ment. Our school now has a faculty of twelve and a secretary, all holding at least one degree. ln it there are a Home Economics Department, an adequately equipped Sci- ence Department, a gymnasium, a library, and sanitary facilities. The cafeteria and the Agriculture Department are located in another building. Sufficient space is pro- V vided for athletics. For a number of years the school has been accredited by the State Board Of EdllC3Ii0H. but recently it became accredited by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. In addition to its basic courses, it offers courses in French, bookkeeping and account- ing, typing, shorthand, physical education, extra courses in home economics and agri- culture, social problems, music appreciation, and band. Through its extracurriculum activities, St. Clare Walker High School challenges its students to develop themselves morally and physically. It further challenges them to try to face their problems squarely and fairly, to follow worthwhile standards, and to develop themselves in every possible way to become better citizens. St. Clare Walker, May thy sons and daughters all be brave and strong, True to thee and true to l-lim above. Space Age' Congratulations! It is a pleasure to congratulate you on graduation from high school. You have stuck it out' in spite of hard work and possible disappointments. Congratulations! You possibly have heard of many success formulae, but the one that I am recommending includes intelligent plan- ning and hard work. From the beginning of civilization to the present 'space age' intelligent planning and hard work have been necessary ingredients for success. Please be re- minded that your success is also our success. We are proud to have had an opportunity to work with each of you. This is hoping for each of you full, useful, and prosperous lives.

LATIMORE Agriculture ur jflsfor ln September of 1953, forty-six students enrolled in St. Clare Walker High School as eighth graders with Miss C. Holmes who is now Mrs. C. H. Carter as their sponsor. These students came from four elementary schools, namely, Shiloh, Saluda, Syringa, and Beverly Allen of West Point, Va. We were a little happy-go-lucky, because we were entering our high school days which are the best days of a student's life. As freshmen, with Mrs. C. S. Thurston as our sponsor, we became better acquainted with the school, teachers, and students. We took active parts in such activities as the band and choir. Frank Sutherlin went to Georgia as a member of the quartet, representing the N. F. A. Better experienced and more aware of the importance of a high school education, we entered the sophomore class with Mr. A. C. Lomax, our sponsor. We were more interested in our work and spent much more time in study. We were all very proud to be sophomores. No longer an eighth grader or a little freshman, but sophisticated sophomores. As juniors under the wonderful guidance of Mrs. Easter D. Holmes, we became more interested in our studies and worked diligently. We all looked, forward to that thrilling experience, the Junior-Senior Prom. The theme of our prom 'Sweethearts on Parade' was quite appropriate since each girl was so beautifully dressed that she looked like someone's sweetheart. The prom was successful. Time does ily, doesn't it? Here we are seniors of '58 under the careful and wonderful guidance of Mrs. C. E. Cameron, and now we are looking forward to that most exciting occasion - graduadon. In spite of excitement and thrills, however, graduation carries with it traces ot sadness. We go our various ways to face problems that are more difficult than those experienced in high school. It was an honor for the senior class to have had Nancy Kidd crowned Miss St. Clare Walker' of '58 for going over top in the February 22 rally. Looking back over the years, we have accomplished much, but there is so much more for us to do in life. Although our enrollment has' decreased to twenty-one students, we are very proud and happy to share in the history of St. Clare Walker High School. We'll always be loyal arfd true to her and will try to uphold her to the best of our ability. ffanlfxeff 'Miss 51, C131-e Walker High School Sarah Nancy Kidd 5 A if 'a-17?
