MARY CATHERINE WILLIAMS “Mary Catherine” Did I hear someone say “Howdie”? Yes, that must have been Mary Catherine. She has laughed herself through school and can top off a joke on herself with laughter. In every soft- ball game she is usually seen in Center Field. Mary Catherine spends a great deal of her time talking about her height but we all know she isn’t too tall. She has a pleasant disposition and a likeable personality. Mary Catherine is a good typist and a very good student. We are all sure she will prosper in anything she undertakes.

CHARLES GLENVIL WHIT ACRE “Gimmie” Glenvil is undoubtedly the most energetic member of the Senior Class. Witty, intelligent, practical-minded, he has al¬ ways thought things out for himself. Stonewall will long remember with pride and gratitude how magnificently he has worked on stage lighting, the newspaper, general repairs, and in Science and Chemistry classes. He is especially interested in mathematics and sciences. He also “tinkers” around with electricity and photography and various inventions which he hopes some day will make him wealthy. ACTIVITIES 1941- 1942—Member: Dramatic Club, Hobby Club, Glee Club. 1942- 1943—Member: Stonewall News Staff. 1943- 1944—Publisher: Stonewall News. 1944- 1945—Publisher: Stonewall News; Member: Football Squad; President: Senior Class; Photographic Edi¬ tor: The Confederate. MARY CATHERINE WHITE “Cassie” Who’s that attractive little blond tripping down the hall? Why, it’s none other than “Cassie”, who has won many friends during her three years here at Stonewall High. She works hard on the Stonewall News as typist and is willing to cooperate with us in any way. You can always see her playing any game which is in progress during Physical Educa¬ tion. Whenever you see any little pixies drawn on paper or in the Annual, you know Mary Catherine has spent a lot of time on them. All the Senior girls are a little envious of her ambition to be a pilot. It must be convenient as well as in¬ teresting during this man power shortage. ACTIVITIES 1941- 1942.—Attended Stephens City School 1942- 1943—Member: Dramatic Club, S. C. A. Council. 1943- 1944—Member: Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Stonewall News Staff, Softball Squad; President: Junior Class. 1944- 1945—Member: Dramatic Club; Art Editor: Stonewall News, and The Confederate.

Class Will Knowing that our scholastic days are fast fading, we the class of nineteen hundred forty-five of Stonewall High School, of the town of Clearbrook, State of Virginia, U. S. A., do summon you to our presence on this solemn occasion to list to this proclamation, our last will and testament. We leave our collected physical and abstract possessions to those whom we deem fitting recipients. We do bequeath to the understated the following: To David Fahnestock, Eugene Funkhouser leaves the role of most prominent Republican. Catherine Golightly and Hildren Blandford leave to Catherine Travers and Curtis Wilson their extensive knowledge of the art of flirting. To Mildred Williams, Mary White leaves her artistic ability. Helen Gordon leaves her quiet disposition to Kathleen Shiley. Jennie Lou Miller, Lillian Lockhart and Anna Marie Clark are to receive Dorothy Owens’ unerring belief in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. To Nancy Lodge, Mary Fishback and Betty Martin the Senior girls leave their combined good looks. To Jeanne Hoover, Mary Catherine Williams leaves her athletic abilities. To Harold Dawson, Douglas O’Connell leaves his smooth dancing tendencies. To Bobby Driver, Jimmie Hutton leaves all the chewing gum that is stuck under the library tables. To Phyliss McDonald, Glenvil Whitacre leaves his superb spelling ability. Hazel Bageant leaves her hard earned nick-name “Luanda,” to Virginia Herrell. Mary Ellen Nethers leaves to next year’s annualeditor tons and tons of work and responsibility. To a future Senior Dorothy Rennie leaves the sacred trust of ringing the class bell on time.
