What would happen if all the Seniors didn ' t graduate? the As high school days pass quickly by, Our thoughts are turned today; We think once more of friendship ' s tie And pleasures along the way. In every heart is kept aside, A warm and lasting place; For those we looked to as our guide Each teacher and her face. Then forward every eye must turn, Our future to decide; The way of life we all must learn And by our laws abide. May ideals of our school increase, As years may come and pass; And High School spirits nev er cease But rise with every class. •Mary Ware Owens J prmdck The world Outside the window Resembles a fairyland— All green and gold and orange and red ’Tis autumn! There was a girl Kaytie, Who sat upon a Bee. Had she but known, For it plainly shone, ' Twas only the Danville Bee The summer Quietly steals away And fall comes again With colors bright and gay Now, winter! There was a girl named Louise Clark She looked as old as Noah’s Ark. She had a beau, But he didn’t know—• Because he only saw her in the dark There was a boy named Link, At the girls he liked to wink Now he’s a gob, The girls do sob, For fear that Link may sink. A feeling Of sad longing Creeps so quietly over me As leaves from green to gold and red Turn. This is a story of a heroic group of people who fought the battle ofhigh school and emerged victorious. Whence they came and whither they are going seems to be a deep dark mystery. The faculty members have put their best sleuths on thetrack to try to-trace down the lineage of this heroic senior class. Their past seems to be doubtful and uncertain. After searching ail the valuable documents in the Library of Congress, and taking senior fingerprints and measurements of senior heads, certain conclusions have been reached about this group of seniors. Judging from the color of their hair, and the size of their feet, it is thought that they must have had their start-in the school life some years ago when they entered the first grade of the Stuart Grade School. Several locks of hair were found hanging to the desks in the first grade room which match the hair of Louise Clark and Mary Ann Coleman. Many footprints were found underneath other footprints when acid was applied to the floor to bring out the faintly discerned tracks. The tracks were followed to the second grade room door--and then the blood hounds were put on to take up the trail. They seemed to lose it. However, an old grade book bears evidence that this same group went into the third grade. From that point the chain of evidence seems to dim until along about the time that a high school teacher found a group of students which answer the de¬ scription of the present seniors sitting in her classrooms. So it is thought that perhaps this same group arrived at the high school by way of the eighth grade. Nothing is certain, though, as the class is very elusive. In talking to a Junior the other day it was learned that a textbook heused had once had the name of Polly Loss in the front of it. Using microscopes and comparing again the fingerprints lines, it has been concluded that the seniors at one time inhabited the classrooms of the freshmen. Head measurements though seem to bear out the fact that the freshmen at that time must have had somewhat smaller heads than the present seniors. There is evidence that the seniors were once juniors in this high school. For the school ' s stories tell of a class who staged a wonderful Rainbow Club Beffet Supper for the graduating class. This points to the seniors, for the Ju-niors of this year will bear evidence that seniors are great eaters. They found that out at t ' he banquet they gave the seniors. There is much discussion as to whether this class ever took the regular soph¬ omore subjects in this high school. Faculty members state that they could never have gotten from the freshman to the junior year under their watchful eyes with¬ out taking the sophomore work. Knowing the faculty as we do--we think they are right--so the seniors must have been sophomores at one time. It is known that the collective the tallest being Eldon Branscome, tiful maroon socks; the shortest, It is known that the combined known that the total age of the half the age of our .ancestor, Me- that there are two dizzy, devastat Hughes, two startling bruettes, ley, in the class. It is themselves by far the height cf the seniors is 127 feet, 9 inches who stands 6 feet, 3 inches in his beau- Mary Ware Owens only 5 feet 1 inch, weight is 2,893 pounds. It is Senior Class is slightly more than thuslah, being 401 years. It is known ing blondes, Jeanette Soyars and Akers Annie Kate Vipperman and Jack Hund - known that the seniors regard most brilliant class inschool But, alas—as dim as the! and unknown is their future, idea to put the most persls- follow them out into the their footprints everywhere jwhere in a big way. Thus, we that we have been unable to tell ors’ part—their present you know-i— mystery unless some fortune teller distant past is—just so uncertdn So it may be that itwould her a good tent detectives on their trails to world—for they are bound to leave they go—and they expect to go every- bring our story to a close-sorry you much about the mystery of the sen- that their future will also have to remain a would delve into their future. V Perhaps you have wished, as I ' ve done quite often, that you could have some magic power to glimpse into those forthcoming years long enough to see what will happen toour many friends and foes. Not many restless nights ago, I ceased mates of ' 46. In no time at ail, my thoughts we-re winged high above the realms of reali¬ zation into that fantastic land where anything can happen. A telephone startled me from slumber., Kiss Hylton, your plane leaves for India in an hour, came a familiar baritone voice. No, it couldn’t be Cecil Creasey, manager of the Silver lounge Hotel, New York City. Somehow, after re¬ covering from the shock, I breathed a feeble thank you. Quickly dressing, I scurried after the porter to the elevator. A crowd of teenage girls came tearing out knocking everything down, including the object of their affection. Fesculng my hat, I bumped into a frightened piece of manhood whose smile had grown into world wide fame as top comedian of stage and screen-- Akers Hughes. Catching a cab, I slowly made progress down Fifth Avenue. Towering grace¬ fully above a mass of men and the fairer sex, Wavie Palmer, glided across the street, closely followed bya throng of admiring photographers. That was one girl who really deserved to be a Powers ' Kodel. Breathlessly, I made the airport and boarded my plane. Behind me a charming couple chattered in soft tones, but being too frightened I dared not turn around. Just ‘then Krs. Teonard Wigington (Kary Ann Coleman) tapped me on the shoulder. She and her husband were taking their second honeymoon this time around the world. Immediately our topic of conversation centered around the class of ' 46. Oh Evelyn, I read in the paper the other day that Ruby Tatum (Krs. Jess Gregory) owns the largest ranch in the world. It is said to be located in an unknown valley between two undiscovered mountain ranges cf Virginia. Cn the ranch the largest seedless, juiceless, peeling!ess apples in the world are grown. Nine thousand one hundred thirty five and one half car loads were shipped last week. Her husband made his money to buy the ranch by selling peanuts on the streets of their home town at a penny a sack. Flash! Attention all passengers. A motorless automobile has just been in¬ vented. A brilliant scientist has the patent. Patent No. M-X-Y-Z has been issued to Eldon Branscome. 7, ' ell, one can never tell what people will amount to. Can they??? The radio announcer continued the latest news of the hour, Our youngest President of the U. S. has just eloped with his private Secretary, Sadie Martin, who captured his heart undoubtly with all those business-like attributes (not to mention her other qualifications) which add up to a perfect Secretory. Unquote, I hear that she has big plans in fact, she may even run for Senator. Poor Mr. President has his hands full! While in Washington, I quire about a veteran of World superintendent, Opal Fain, manner and asked if we would atlon from the observation balcony room. The red light went on--voices worked patiently. Then a girl (not gentle voice, Doctor, the same time she helped him put operation began. Why that Cassidy! A dark exotic looking stewardess made all my fears vanish. Her every the trim figure wearing a smartly Airlines. Again, I was surprised fcT revealed Annie Kate Vipperman, visited the Walter Reed Hospital to in- 7 ar II who was a friend ofmy husband.

At the on his sterile gloves--thus the woman in white was Pauline smiled down at me in such a way that movement was hard to keep my eyes from designed wuniform of the American when dij spoke her calm soft voice Chief Stewardess. ★ (f VfyiujUj CMxijunxLui: Leaving me with an assortment of current papers, I pondered over various articles of interest until I came face to face with Pofy Ross. She had made a scientific discovery which keeps womens ' skin from wrinkling. That certainly goes to prove women can be useful as well as ornamental. A city unfolds on the distant horizon and since Lisbon wasour first desti¬ nation, I bade farewell tomy old friends. The stewardess announced a five hour wait and much to my joy. Leaving me enough time to run down to the American Consular Service to see Wayne Simmons, the consul himself. With that immaculate polished look, he greeted me quiet diplomaticly, but traces of that boyish grin remained unchanged. From a half-closed door, a typewriter sped away as if it had the wings of Mercury. Then stopping abruptly, a tall willowy blonde briskly stepped through the partially closed door. Looking from Wayne to Louise Clark, I detected no hidden sentiment. Iouise casually remarked aside tome that their friendship was strictly business. (They always did keep us guessing.) Another take off found me exhausted, so I resolved to sleep. A stewardess awoke me, down below it was obvious we were circling Cairo. Nothing would satis¬ fy my adventurous spirit until I could behold the ancient Sphinx and Pyramids. Peering over the meddle hump of my camel, I viewed a struggling man who was perched in the crevice of the Sphinx himself. Attempting to snap his profile. Why that was Odell Morse, who was awarded the Top Photographer ofUnusual Shots! Exhausted from sight-seeing, I dropped down in an easy arm chair of the hotel lobby. In rushed a mass of inquistive newspaper men and photographers. Amid them stood undoubtly a celeberity who was telling them off in short. Quote, I left television as a singer because it interfered with my private life and what I was doing in Toyko, and what I shall be doing in Munich is none of your- Just then Mary Ware Owens happened to spy me and let out an undignified squeal, leaving her by-standers astounded. India, the land of untold wealth, a country of the modern and ancient world revealed itself as we circled the port of Bombay. This had been my childhood dream and now I stood on the thresh-hold only awaiting the firm ground to touch my toes. A snappy looking Pilot (cox) gazed down into the face of a starry eyed girl only for a moment thenl.eaving herfilled with discontent ashis plane soared into the horizon. Just at that moment a tall broad-shouldered man strolled by causually remarking, Miss Lash, you are wanted in the Control Tower, the boss wants you map out a flight. By the way the Nizam of Hyderabad sent you an ele¬ phant drapped in priceless silk and jingling with silver bells. It looks as if you ' ve got to ride that job to your wedding next week or insult the richest man in the world. In a week ' s time, India held no moro charm, for I wanted to move homeward. Fly ing almost due southwest found me practically on top of the equator. Right in the heart of Africa, the Belgian Congo. Surely no acquaintance of mine could exist here yet white men did live in the tropics. A band of the blacker race stood staring at our plane. In some unknown tongue a vision of sunbaked loveli¬ ness patiently spoke to them. As she did so, I approached them to get a still- better view of this unusual blonde, whose manner and appearance portrayed in every way that of a missionary. Jeannette Soyars greeted me with a hearty wel¬ come, making me feel quite at home. Impatient to see land, increased as we winged our weyover the wide Atlantic. ' Tis said that Brazil has enchantment-especially in Rio. Its harbors filled with strange ships, the fasinating rythmn, the colorful speech and customs all enlightning by the balmy atmosphere had worked their wiles on me. Lying there on the beach unaware of any human reading my thoughts someone spoke within a few feet of me. Evelyn, so you’re enchanted by all this tropic magic too, I see, came a voice whose accent revealed its origin had been Virginia bred and born. Nonchantly beside me stood Dorothy Hubbard clad in a white bathing suit which made a perfect contrast with her clear olive skin and burnished locks. It seemed as if she was merely vacating her job as Secretary to a coffee plantation owner long enough to become a lady of leisure-then back to work. 4 (?A phJUA c n)tiniuct: Being in Rio wasn ' t enough inspite of its many and various attractions. As the coast of South America became fainter, my hopes grew in wide aticipation of just what lay beyond that blue horizon. So this was Puerto Rica still strong in the Spanish strain, yet everywhere could be seen traces of Americanization. Children jubilantly made their way homeward. Not far behind them, two American teachers (one blonde and the other brunette) walked swiftly toward me. Thesheer simplicity of her dress was enriched by touches of Spanish jewelery. that time Audrey Smart had recognized me and we were shaking hands. Stuart, Virginia seemed far away yet dear to my heart as we viewed what seemed to be the central part of Flordia. Miles wouldn’t fly by fast enough until I could once again see those Blue Ridge Mountains. Landing a few miles from Stuart, I caught a cab to the still ever popular Stuart Theater. As I slipped into a comfortable seat, a sports review unfolded on the screen. Right out there pitching forthe St. Louis Cardinals (in the World Series Game) was Jack Hundley. Crowds were cheering as Jack wound up a perfect curve. WaitJ The man at bat misses and thus ends the final inning. Cameramen flocked around him as well as his admiring wife (Betty Jo Clark) who undoubtedly was his sole inspiration. A stream of sunlight glanced In my eyes suddenlyawaking mefrom this wonder¬ ful hour of magic, recalling me from those glimpes of tomorrow, which even may in broad-open day still seem too real to be-well, just a dream. ' HrJJl ndL Being in sound mind and body (we hope) we, the Senior Class of ' 46ieave the following to the faculty and our underclassmen:. We give and bequeath to the dear members of our faculty, who were our seers, a sweet and unbroken succession of peaceful nights anddays, free from thehorrors of our English compositions and mathematical problems. To Mr. Law (who had to leave us when we were Fresnmen, but who was faithful enough to return for our last year) we extend our heartfelt and sincere gratitude for his leadership in helping us solve our problems. To Miss Massey we leave our many thanks and sincere appreciation forlisten- ing to our troubles so willingly and always helping us find a solution. To Mrs. Hazelwood (who we 11 always remember as Miss Clark ) we leave a Sopho¬ more Class who will not be as much trouble as we were nor won’t to build a life size rainbow thank you loads. We will never forget all the things you ' ve done for us! To Mrs. Hopkins we leave our many thanks for being so patient with us and helping us to solve those hard geometry problems !--Just wait and see if we don ' t produce some fine engineers and navigators. To Mrs. Wachter we leave our sincere gratitude for teaching us how to .juggle space -our Annual shows that we are expert jugglers . To the members of the faculty in general we will our penmanship ability in order that they may learn in recording grades the lower line should not be left off the printed form of the capital E. To the worthy superintendent of schools we leave all the good thoughts that assembly speakers have attempted to pass on to us. We, full of ambitions, have no room in our already too full heads for these thoughts. This bequest is made to the superintendent of schools with the kindest of consideration andafter much deliberation. He can use them for talks in faculty meetings. To everybody we bequeath the pleasure of wasting time in the library andget- ting away with it by pretending to be looking in the encyclopedia or reading Mrs. Leach’s favorite book Green Light . Akers Hughes leaves his ability to argue with the teachers and get their minds off the lessons to James Hopkins. Odell Morse leaves his talkativeness to Iella Rogers, the most silent stu¬ dent in school, hoping that, at the same time, she will not spoil her record by inheriting any of Odell ' s laziness. Jeanette Soyars leaves her height to Hazel Roberson in hope that she will enjoy the tops of everything now. Wavie leaves her athletic ability and love of sports to Corrol Lenor. The Senior Class leaves their ability to produce Beauty Queens to the Junior Class. To T. J. we leave a brace to hold his ears back so he can walk against the wind. seni0R CLASS i b,fy Wayne leaves his curlers to Evan Gunter, hopes thegids will like him with waviehair To P. H. we leave a car with the steering wheel and ail controls in the center so he can drive with a girl on each side. Mary Ware leaves her voice to Kakie and hopes that she will take her place successfully in the Glie Club. Jjut yfrilt cutut JfofarwnJb Oh Jbunjuuui : Ruby Tatum and Mary Ann Coleman really can’t think of anything to leave. (They have more important things on their mind now.) Evelyn Hylton leaves the hole she knocked in the gym while playing basket ball to the Shop Boys and sincerely hopes they make the floor a little softer this time. Sadie Martin leaves her position as Chief Typists of the Annual toanyone in the Junior Class who will take it. How about you Georgia? It really is a job! To Doyle Reynolds we leave permission to come to school one day a week and have holidays the -other four. Barbara Lash leaves her back seat on the basketball trips to Merthalea and also throws in Adolph to go with it. We leave Caesar to the second year Latin Class and hope they don ' t have as much trouble getting him across his bridge as we did. To Margaret Walker we leave a book entitled How to Have a Date Every Night . Audrey Smart leaves her voice to Ellen Conner so that everyone can hear her now. Cecil leaves Peggy Jean and really hates to! Take good care of her boys. Pauline Cassidy leaves her typewriter to anyone who would like it. She didn ' t. Louise Clark leaves Richard Simmons to Louise Slate. (Hey, Richard, you really must go for the name Louise”. Annie Kate leaves her different hair do’s to Steddy Neal and hopes that Steddy ' s fellows will like the change. Polly has nothing to leave but William and she’s not going topart with him. Dorothy Hubbard leaves her title of Class Baby to Charlie Roberson and hopes he will get enough attention now to suit him. Eldon leaves his car to Stuart Hi so that all the kids will have a ride to town even after he’s gone. Opal Fain wills her mirror to all. the girls in the Biology Class they have enjoyed using it so much this year. because Jack Hundley leaves his title of class lover to Paul Puckett and hopes that he won ' t get a girl as fickled as 3etty Jo. Having spent all our money on Senior Class rings, pins, commencement invi¬ tations, and rental on graduation gowns, we are in bankrupt circumstances. We earnestly pray that We shall have enough friends left to take care of alTour debts left at the soda fountains, ourlibrary fines, andanyother unpaid obligation. Last, but very far from least we leave toMrs. Bright (ourJunior and Senior Home Room teacher) our sincere appreciation for her cooperation andencouragement without which we would never have been able to successfully finish these last two years and start on our new task of setting out into the world. We also leave our many thanks to her for helping us publish our Annual We will always remember her willingness to counsel us in the accomplishment of the hard things we set out to do. In witness whereof, to this, our last will and testament, we do subscribe cur names this 3rd, day of June, 1946. RTfitrirn- 3 Marlie Lulu ' Blondie am C.P. B. Hoxs Lou.
