Temple Hill High School - Templar Yearbook (Castlewood, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1947 volume:

TEMPLE HILL HIGH SCHOOL Castlewood, Virginia v_9 OW THAT peace has come, we feel even more deeply indebted to those who gave their lives that we, and the generations to come, might have a lasting peace. So it is with a sense of gratitude and appreciation that we dedicate the 1947 Templar to those former students of Temple Hill High School who gave “their last full measure of devotion, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the p eople shall not perish from the earth ' W. D. Sutherland, Jr. Elbert Harold Salyers Thomas A. Couch Malcolm Minton Dewey Willis Wayne Vicars Myron Hubert Cook E. J. Isaacs “ How sleep the brave, who sink to rest. By all their countries wishes blest! By fairy hands their knell is rung. By forms unseen their dirge is sung.” To Our Sponsor, Mrs. Alonzo Beauchamp Who has endeavored to make this issue of The Templar the best ever edited at Temple Hill. In the years to come as we turn these pages we will remember her patience and efforts as one of the high-lights of the happy days we spent together during our high school career.

Four long years we’ve struggled thru Sleepless nites, and heartaches too; Fun and frolic we did not leave out Which often kept our grades in doubt. As life’s journey we will make Hoping to be successful in all we undertake. Our Alma Mater, we shall think of you And our teachers dear - — to whom much is due. Pauline Hall ASS HISTORY As we Seniors look back over the years it is hard to realize that we have almost accomplished the goal that we have worked so hard to attain. It seems as if it were only a few years back that a group of small children gathered here to start our school career. The first seven years of our lives passed quickly and soon the time came when we were ready to enter high school. On September 4, 1943, we came back to Temple Hill as Freshmen. This year we saw several new faces that came from different schools. We were enrolled in two rooms. Miss Lois Johnson and Mrs. Mary Jewell were our home room teachers. That year there were seventy-nine pupils, so the first day or two we were all very excited about learning our new routines and also getting acquainted with each other. We soon realized though that studies had to be c ontinued, so we settled down and started to getting our lessons. Our studies were interesting and the year ended quickly. On September 3, 1944, we were again enrolled in two rooms, only this year as Sophomores. Our number had been reduced until only forty-three of us remained, but we welcomed seven new members, this making a total of fifty pupils. We also were glad to have with us a new principal, Mr. J. E. Carter from Nicklesville. Soon mid-term exams rolled around making us a little nervous and causing much harder studying for a few days. After they were over with, time passed fast and soon the year grew to a close. Miss Ruth Burke and Mrs. J. E. Carter were our home room teachers. On September 4, 1945, we came back as Juniors. This year we all were proud to be referred to as Juniors and took advantage of it. Our number had dropped to thirty-two but we welcomed Cecile Wolfe, Mildred Hall, Carolyn Perry, June King, Nannie Branson, and Winston Meade, this making us a total of thirty-eight pupils in the Junior room. Mr. Bane Dougherty was our home room teacher. This year we didn’t have much time in which to play around. Several of us took part in athletics and other activities. We had our Junior play, Deacon Dubbs”, sponsored by Mrs. Kathleen Odell. It was a big success. During the year we were all sorry to give up Catherine Stamper who decided to give up school for a marriage career and Winston Meade who felt it his duty to help ' Uncle Sam out in the Navy. During the last semester we received our class rings which made us feel as if we were already Seniors. After three years of studying on September 4, 1946 a group of thirty pupils gathered in the Senior room to be enrolled as Seniors by Mrs. Carter, our home room teacher. This year we have had a lot of different things to do such as putting out a Senior paper and helping to publish our annual which we hope will please every one. We have been very sorry to lose from our Senior class Nannie Branson, Loretta Willis, and Catherine Keith who gave up their education for a marriage career. Caryl Perry moved to Bristol where she is continuing to go to school. As I write this our last year is over half finished. As we all look back over the years we can see lots of mistakes we have made and would like to be able to correct them but they are only dim shadows. Only a few more months and we, the Senior class will reach the goal of our graduation, but we feel that we still have a higher goal to achieve. As each of us go out into the world we will have to learn to stand alone, and hope to be able to meet this requirement. We all want to take this time in which to express our thanks and deep appreciation to our teachers who have worked so hard and patiently to help us to climb over the stepping stones and reach our destination. We also want to bid farewell to our classmates and to wish them all the best of luck in the following years to come. Joan Hackney CLASS W We the members of the Senior Class of 1947, being of sane minds and with a sincere love for the Juniors, and realizing that our days are nearly over at Temple Hill High School, do ordain and make this our last will and Testament. To the Junior Class we leave the Senior room and all the Senior Memories and Privileges. Jean Purcell wills her red hair to Margaret Pickett and Bob Branson.

June King wills her vocabulary to Joe Hawkins. Betty Jo Kite wills her seat, with the history answers scribbled on the top, to Olaf Porter. Curtis Mays wills his bashfulness to Doretha Marshall. Bob Porter wills his boyish figure to Jess Osborne. Elbert Ireson wills his marriage license to Willard Kiser, Virginia Bolton, Dana Johnson. In witness whereof, I, Janie Ruth Osborne, the testator, have set my hand and seal hereto this Twenty Fourth day of January in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred Forty-Seven. Sealed: JANIE RUTH OSBORNE m PAOMCY I went to St. Paul to do my Christmas shopping, and I heard over a loud speaker the voice of Mr. T. R. Grizzle saying he was having a special broadcast over his television radio. I was very interested and stopped to listen. His voice brought back to me the memory of my last year in High School. I rushed through my shopping in order to get home in time for the broadcast. I made it just in time and heard Mr. Grizzle ' s voice, as he did his own announcing, saying, “We have with us today the members of the 1946-47 graduating class at Temple Hill High School. We are giving a special program on vocation. As the curtain goes up I see a tall blonde haired lady with several boxes of Christmas seals and cards. As her fine sales talk runs so smoothly and words she uses are so distinguished, it must be June King. Yes, it is the same ole’ June. The scene changes again to a pretty little cottage on Gravel Lick. As the door opens we see Christine Conley giving a gift to her little boy for his teacher. As he walks along the road he is picked up by a red coal truck. As it comes closer to us we see it is Nannie and A. E. Smith taking their little girl to school. This scene is an entirely different one. We see a small sail boat and hear a lovely voice singing. “Somebody is Rocking My Dream Boat.” Yes, it’s Ruth Kite. She has finally begun her trip across the ocean. Do you suppose she will ever get there? The scene changes and from there it takes us to a big ranch out West. On a sign we see, “Kite’s Dude Ranch”. Betty Jo Kite comes out on the porch and calls to her cow hands, and to my surprise they are Max Milton and Elbert Ireson. Elbert and Mattie Lee, his wife, live in a cute little cabin out to themselves. Betty Jo is telling them some good news. As the words come more cle arly I hear her say, “A plane is landing”. As the plane slowly comes to a stop who jumps out but Bob Porter and his lovely wife, Wilma Byington. The next scene is at the Hamlin Tearoom. Joan Hackney is behind the counter and over in the booth we see L. C. Fraley. Joan is ordering L. C. to go to the spring and get her a bucket of water. Wonder if they are married? Again my television set takes me to a different scene. This time I see Bernice Hale, R. N. giving treatment to the successful Editor of the fashion magazine. Drape Shape, Frances Robinson who seems to be suffering from a head ailment. No doubt an accident happened last week while she was getting a permanent at the Tangleweed Beauty Shop operated by Jean Purcell and Juanita Bradley. Mr. Grizzle then switches the scene of the program to the lobby of the large hotel at Castlewood, The Aldorf Castoria. My attention is attracted by the manager, Harold Dorton who seems to be tell- ing an operator who was non-chalantly chewing her gum, “Miss Couch” ( Why it must be Joan) “from now on you get off at six o ' clock instead of five-thirty.” As Mr. Dorton goes into his office he says to his typist, “Better slow down Versie Mae or you will have to pour cold water on that typewriter.” Our senior class must have thought “East or West, home is best, for that was another of its members, our class president Versie Mae Lowe who is now Mr. Dorton’s secretary and a very efficient one. She is discussing a problem with Mildred Hall and Cecile Wolfe, who are bookkeepers. Through a vision of green trees we see a little white cottage with green shutters. There is a farmer and his v getting the milk ready to be picked up by the milk truck. Why, its Pauline Hall and Curtis Mays, i .. milk truck drives up and the driver is none other than Janie Ruth Osborne. Mr. Grizzle now takes us to an exciting basketball game. Dorothy Porter is coach for the Castle- wood team. Bonnie Salyer is on the side lines, keeping scores. It looks as if Dorothy’s team is certainly playing a good game. The next scene is on a streamline train speeding through the night. Inside we see a sign which says “Just Married”. As the door opens lovely Helen Robinson appears. She must have gotten the sailor for I glimpsed a sailor suit through the open door. She is talking to a young army bride and when she turns around we see it is Joyce Ring. We see Nora Mae Saddler coming out of the First National Bank of Castlewood where she works. A soldier leaning against the building whistles. My, I didn’t know Nora Mae could blush so. And now Mr. Grizzle. “Friends this concludes our program on vocation. The preceding program has been brought to you by the makers of Carter’s Snuff and Beauchamp’s Dairy.” President BILL ROBINSON Vice President .
