Stratford Junior High School - Signpost Yearbook (Arlington, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 24 of the 1951 volume:

STRATFORD'S FIRST YEAR 1N SPITE OF an atmosphere of summer vacation that existed under a leisurely six months on half- day schedule, Stratford has amply succeeded in keeping up with, and even getting ahead of the other junior high schools. A very short time after school started last fall, homeroom officers were elected and the Student Council was organized. Committees from the Student Council were formed to work on the Point System and the official Constitution for the school. At their first meeting the Student Council elected Bruce Haslam, president; and Pat Logan, secretary. These two students have proven that they are more than qualified to hold their offices. Hall and Bus patrols were formed to take care of the ntraffic jam that existed in the narrow halls of Washington-Lee, and on the buses. They have proven their worth. The Junior Recreation Club GRCy was formed in all three grades, and by December parties had been given for each grade. In their first season the varsity teams made a splendid record for themselves. Nine girls were chosen as Stratfordis first cheerleaders. It was their job to uKeep up the morale of the boys on the team,i,eand they did. Assemblies were held, in spite of the short periods. There were two big ones, the Thanksgiving and the Christmas programs, in which all the musical groups and the speech classes were presented. The newly organized speech classes also gave several plays over radio station WARL. Stratford was the first Junior High School in the county to have a regular printed newspaper, The Signpost, in its first year. When the first semester ran out we lost severed its second half. i after a day off between rounds Stratford launchal teachers. However, they were replaced, and As February drew to a close everyone began to expect to move into the new building by the next day, and everything else faded into the background. On March 3, Stratford was officially opened. The new school was so wonderful that nobody noticed the long periods fnot much anywayi . The new building was well worth waiting for. It was not long before the Constitution was ratified, and homeroom intra-murals started. Throughout the year individuals from Stratford won honors for themselves, as well as making a name for the school. Few have forgotten Barbara Garnett,s speech. It won first place in the county oratorical contest and second in the district contest. From the music department went Jimmy Weinstein to represent Stratford in the Virginia All- State Band. David Brewster, violinist, placed above all other junior high school students in' the county, in the musical contest sponsored by the Arlington Civic Symphony. David, along with Connie Campbell, won a place in the Junior National Symphony, which was under the direction of the noted conductor, Howard Mitchel. ' Carolyn Scheele came in second in a state wide essay contest on wildlife and game. Two Stratford faculty members, Mr. Atkins and Mrs. Armstrong, placed among the fifty best teachers in the country, in the Quiz Kids Best Teacher Contest. A great political campaign was held for the ninth grade officers. Posters for the Wardicans and the Kostercrats filled. the school. The Wardicans seemed to have more firepower on the billboards, and that may have accounted for the difference in votes. The Student Council proved its value when it was host to the Student Cooperative Association of Northern V irginia tSCAi on April 20. The Greatest Show on Earthj, the variety show, was presented before a capacity crowd on May 10. So, with the ninth grade eprom, the first action packed student year at Stratford has come to a close. k THE FACULTY MRS. DORIS MORTIMER MR. CLAUDE RICHMOND MRS.

It lives for the people in the world, their failures and successes, their joys and sorrows, their work and play. The people of the world make the news and the news is food and drink to the newspaper. While there are people in the world there will be news. The .paper must be fed a balanced diet of this news or it cannot bring the important things to the attention of the people. The staff must provide this diet, choosing from the neWs only the significant and timely articles. The staff must not ignore the troubles and hope in the world, it must be a concience and a stimulant. The staff must not forget the successes of the individuals, the nation, big or little, The world must remember these things and find inspirationgin them. A newspaper must express the activities and thoughts ofythe readers and the news and editorials, whether it be a national newspaber, a city newspaper, or a school newspaper. ' Only the truth and all the truth must go into print. The staff in providing this diet chooses from the news that its readers make, thus it reflects on its readers. They must be behind the staff. . A newspaper should live for democrary. It must uphold democrary by printing that which democrary stands on, truth, freedom and justice. When these things are lost then it is no longer a newspaper but a means of spreading propaganda. That kind of a newspaper is a discredit to its staff and to those who read it. SPORTS RECAP OF THE YEAR Stratford. although young in county competition, proved more than a common opponent for the other junior highs of the county. The Cavaliers placed second in county football and basketball competition, and won the softball championship. Stratford started its athletic program the last of Septem her, when the first football varsity practice was announced. Mr. Hulett, the coach, had a turnout of over one hundred and twenty boys. They practiced from five until six-thirty at night mostly in the mud. The team had a very successful season con sidering all of the difiiculties which had to be overcome. The first game of the season saw Stratford winning over T.J., 19- 13, but the game had to be forfeited, and as it turned out later this game cost the Cavaliers the county championship. Then two wins over Madison, and a tie with Swanson ended the season. After the football season, basketball was started, with Mr. Druckenmiller coaching. The young team got off to a shaky start, but gained confidence, and finished with a six-won and four-lost record for the season. Several games were played with junior highs out of the county, where Stratford met some of its toughest opponents. The softball season opened the first of April, when over seventy boys rushed to the baseball field in answer to Coach Druckenmillerls call. The team was cut down to twenty in preparation for their first game. Six games were scheduled, two with each junior high school in the county. Softball seemed the sport for Stratford. The first five games played were won, two over both T.J. and Madison, and from Swanson. Stratford emerged from the softball season, the county Champions. Back in the fall Stratfordts intramural sport played was f0 otball. This saw the 7A, 8A, and 9A winning their respective grade championships. Basketball intramurals were started after we entered the new school. This met with more success than the football intramurals. It was played with single elimination, that is if one game is lost the team is eliminated and .a team had to win all of its games to emerge the grade cham pions. The teams to achieve this feat were 7B7, 8B, and 939. All of Stratfords athletic teams have met with success in the countyts sports program. The Signpost congratulates these . .
