VOLUME SIX Published Annually by the Students THE APPRENTICE SCHOOL Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA Vance O. Bright, Jr. Editor-in-Ghief F. Dan Merritt Associate Editor FOREWORD We, the staff of the BINNACLE, present this sixth volume of the Apprentice Yearbook with the sincere hope that it will fully serve its designed purpose — that of depiction and record. In the first case our objective has been to better acquaint the students with one another personally, as well as to present to any interested per- son not a member of our organization a description of the Apprentice and his activities. Secondly, we have compiled the ensuing with the desire that it may serve in the future as a log of events of 1950 on which can be based many pleasant memories. In fulfilling these as- signed tasks may it prove always enjoyable. 4 CONTENTS DEDICATION FACULTY STUDENTS ORGANIZATIONS PUBLICATIONS FEATURES AWARDS _ SPORTS ADVERTISEMENTS PAGE 6 11 25 67 69 83 84 109 153 5 DEDICATION 6 T O GILBERT Guy Via, who retired as Director of Education and Training on May 31, 1950, we respectfully dedicate this sixth volume of the BINNACLE in sincere gratitude and appre- ciation for his friendship and guidance since the inception of the Apprentice School in 1919. 7 The training of Apprentices was begun in 1890 for the purpose of maintaining an adequate labor force and training young men to become skilled workers. It serves also as a source from which the supervisory staff of the shipyard may be chosen, since the Yard Personnel Division insists that its production supervisors shall have had the all-around experience essential in a skilled worker. To these ends it provides the Apprentice with training on the job, instruction in related subjects, and encour- agement and facilities in recreational pursuits. ADMINISTRATION F. R.

Brown, Jr., Electricians D. L. Carmines, Sheet Metal Since it is a trade school, the vocational faculty of the Apprentice School is of imminent importance to the Apprentice. The trade knowledge and sympathy with the requirements of a thorough Apprenticeship possessed by these men are to be found few places elsewhere and are indispensable to the making of a good mechanic. These, then, are the men from whom the Apprentice learns to use his hands. 18 Vocational Faculty J. G. Foretich, Pattern Shop 19 J A Vocational Faculty F. B. Gall, Ship Carpenters G. G.

Com- piled and edited by members of the stu- dent body it contains items of interest to all Apprentices: sports news, club news, announcements and accounts of various social functions along with other bits of journalistic achievement. A number of things have led to the paper’s having been published in varied forms and having its ultimate form in “Beating the deadline . . Merritt, Coates, Smith, Moore, Bright, Trapp the above. Several publication periods have been experimented with to deter- mine the most feasible time between issues, resulting in the choice of a bi- monthly issue. I he problem of circulation is left to the Apprentice who may pick up his copy at one of three places — the Appren- tice School Building, the Apprentice Athletic Building, or the Apprentice Dormitory — whichever is most con- venient. 73 The Student Board of Directors At the end of its fourth year of existence the Stu- dent Board of Directors is still handling its duties manfully. This group of Apprentices consists of elected repre- sentatives of all shops of the Yard. Representation is based on the number of Apprentices in a shop. This body is our Student Government. Seine of its duties include the approval of awards of letters for athletic achievement and the presentation of gifts from the student body, such as the television set pre- sented to our supporter and retired Director of lulu- cation and Training, Mr. G. Guy Via. These men meet after working hours and are to be commended on the enthusiasm with which they are doing their job. P. G. Gresham, Vice-Pres.; W. B. Middleton, President-, B. G.

Wilson The Apprentice Cotillion Club has as its chief function the sponsorship of at least four formal dances yearly. How- ever, many other occasions which arise are taken advantage of, namely, hayrides, skating parties, wiener roasts, etc. In the last year, the club had quite a few “ups and downs.” There was a time when the boys thought of paying club debts off from their own pockets and disbanding, but in the blackest hour some of the group voted to try a coujile of small parties with the hope of clear- ing debts, a little at a time. The first attempt was a skating party on which a very small jiroht was realized. Thus en- couraged, the boys gave a hayride, then another skating party, and before long the club was in the running again. Then after the Christmas cotillion little doubt remained concerning the continued ac- tivity of the club.

Moore Honored Guests — Mr. and Mrs. D. Boyd Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Padgett These are pictures taken at the Christmas Dance which was held at the Original Club on December 16, 1950, by the Cotil- lion Club. Sponsored by Miss Nancy Fogle and with music furnished by The Virginians, the dance was a truly successful venture back into the social world. Mr. and Mrs. D. Boyd Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Padgett were guests of honor, and “Baby-do,” the Dormitory chef, pre- sided at the punch bowl. It might be mentioned that he served quite a concoction, as all who sampled it will testify. 76 Front row, Phillips, Sorrell, Cuddy Second row, Howell, Smith, Crockett, Lincoln, Tidd, Gresham Third rou), Violette, Stancil, Lewis, Liberty, Rappold, Allen The Monogram Club The Apprentice Monogram Club, recently reorgan- ized, has been outstanding in activities, interest, group participation and attendance. Apprentices automati- cally become members upon earning and receiving monograms, and with great pride the club boasts full membership of boys with gold A’s. During the year the club has sponsored banquets for the baseball, basketball, track, and football teams, coaching staff and local sports editors in expression of their gratitude for outstanding performances and loyal devotion they have given the Apprentice School. Coach Frank M. Dobson, who retired last year, was presented a club charm and given honorary lifetime membership in the club. The biggest event of the year was the Monogram Memorial Day dance held at the Grand View Ballroom. It seemed that all the Apprentices turned out and immensely enjoyed the affair. Meetings are held every first and third Monday of the month in the Apprentice Dormitory and the cur- rent officials of the club are as follows: Bob Lincoln, President; Larry Crockett, Vice-President; Sidney Tidd, Treasurer; and Conley Smith, Secretary.

Apprentice Alumni Association The Apprentice Alumni Association is a well known and active organization on the lower Peninsula, and all Apprentices upon completion of their training are invited to become members. Founded on the idea of promoting the general and social welfare of its members, of civic and community activities, charities, and legitimate undertakings of the Ap- prentice School, this group annually pre- sents carious trophies and awards to members of the student body and grad- uates. Another of the more important annual Alumni Association undertakings is the sponsorship of the home-coming football game which includes half-time entertain- ment and a dance following the game. Shown above is Dr. Paul k. Buckles, Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church , principal speaker at the dinner. On Dr. Buckles’ left are W. C. Hogue, iv io introduced the speaker and Harrv J. McCarthy, Toastmaster for the occasion. Since including a complete list of members of the Association would re- quire a great deal of space, we are listing only the officers of the organization. 78 OFFICERS W. A. Ley land President I). C.

Pi Phi Fraternity Pi Phi Fraternity is a national secondary and non- academic fraternity founded at Rochester Free Cults Academy October 10, 1878, by members of a debating society. Its purpose is the betterment of its members mainly in the social aspect, but it also deals with their cultural advancement. Pi Phi boasts the oldest fra- ternity house in existence which is located at New York Military Academy, Cot nwall-on-Hudson, New York. Gamma Zeta chapter, the second and present chap- ter established in the school, was formed July 29, 1948, by a group of eleven boys and is limited to Appren- tices of this School only. The first chapter of Pi Phi in the School was Beta Upsilon which was formed in June of 1940 and which became inactive almost exactly four years later in June of 1944, due to the loss of so many men to the armed services in World War II. Although the Gamma Zeta chapter has not enough members to give social functions for the public, it has presented numerous successful socials for its members and their guests. Some of the special functions of each year are: New Year’s Fve party, Valentine’s Day party, Installation Banquet, Founders’ Day Banquet, Hal- lowe’en party, Thanksgiving party, and Christmas party. Interspersed with these functions are small dances, scavenger hunts, hayrides, bowling parties, oyster roasts, wciner roasts, etc., which provide enter- tainment, recreation and relaxation for members and their guests who may be invited to social functions. In the cultural line of activity, the fraternity pre- sents a plaque to the chapter with the highest average grades for the fraternal year. In order for a chapter to compete for this award it must have enrolled in school at least fifty percent of its membership whose grades must be listed at the end of each quarter or semester and sent to the Grand Secretary, bearing the signature of a responsible person of the School. To the member with the highest scholastic average an award is presented by the fraternity, and each chapter also presents its high man within the chapter an award. Gamma Zeta won the plaque for the fraternal year from August of 1940 to August of 1950 and John C. Piazza, member of the local chapter, maintained the highest average of any member of the fraternity for this year, winning the individual scholarship award. Officers of the fraternal year 1950 to 1951 are Monte Shinn, President; Phil Kilmer, Vice-President; Homer Cuddy, Treasurer; John Miller, Corresponding Sec- retary; Fd Ward, Recording Secretary; George Barber, 80 The Morning After — Massengill, Jones, Tilghman Chaplain; Nollie Trapp, Social Chairman; and El wood Flythe, House Chairman. The charter members of Gamma Zeta chapter are Jack Bryant, Ansell Hawkins, Stanley Hawkins, Dan Merritt, Crosby Brown, Charles Foley, Fd Ward, Nol- Christmas Comes to Pi Phi — Trapp, Dale, Sandstrom lie Trapp, Carlton Overman, Malvin Moore and William Shreves. Gamma Zeta chapter affords many forms of recrea- tion for many boys who know few people about New- port News. Hallowe’en?— Hawkins, Jones, Miller, Tilghman, Trapp, Dale 81 Awards The Homer L. Ferguson Award HOMER L. FERGUSON Past President and Chairman of the Board Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company In honor of Homer L. Ferguson, past Presi- dent of the Company, a gold watch appropri- ately engraved, is presented to the member of each graduating class who scores the highest combined shop and classroom average. First presented in 1948 by the Apprentice Alumni Association, the award was made this year to Carl Norwood Robeson, Jr., graduate of the Electrical Department. C. N. Robeson, Jr. 85 The Niels Christiansen Craftsmanship Awards From each graduating class, Apprentices, rep- resenting the main divisions of the Yard, are awarded the coveted Christiansen Award for out- standing craftsmanship. It is a gold medallion. This award, which is presented each year by the Apprentice Alumni Association, is made in honor of the late Niels Christiansen, former Machine Shop Division Superintendent. Mr. Christiansen, who was one of the Apprentices’ best friends, was at least partially responsible for the School as it stands today. Neils Christiansen The awards for this year go to: Carl Norwood Robeson, Jr., Hull Outfitting Division James Edward O’Donnell, Machine Shops Division Russell Eugene Bryant, Machinery Distalla- tion Division Charles Ransom Lamm, Hull DrawingRoom Division Edward Rerrie Masser, Jr., Machinery Draw- ing Room Division C. N. Robeson, Jr. R. E. Bryant J. E. O’Donnell 86 The Charles F. Bailey Award The Charles F. Bailey awards consist of a bronze, a silver, and a gold medal which are awarded annually in the above order to the first, second, and third year students who maintain the highest scholastic standings in their respec- tive classes for that year. These awards are presented by the Apprentice Alumni Association, in honor of the Company’s former Engineering Director, who was one of the Apprentice School’s staunchest friends. The first-year bronze medal for 1950 went to Walter A. Raines, Hull Drawing Room; the second-year silver medal to L. Channing Arm- strong of the Machine Shops Division; and Vance O. Bright, Jr., of the Hull Drawing Room, was the recipient of the third-year gold medal. W. A. Raines L. C. Armstrong V. O. Bright, Jr. 87 The Journalism Award This award for journalistic achievement consists of two parts, namely, presentation of the gold “Quill-andA,” and eligibility for membership in the “Quill-and-A Society.” To be eligible foi the award the Apprentice must he a mem- ber of the graduating class and must have served on the stafF of either the “Broad A” or the “Binnacle” or both, for a combined total of four years, and hold a major editorial position on either publication. The presentation of the award is subject to final approval by the Director of Education and Training. Since no member of the graduating class of 1950 could qualify under the requirements set forth above, there were no recipients of the award this year. The Gold Music Award There have been no recipients of this award for several years due to the discontinuation of the Apprentice Band. Many requirements must be met before an Apprentice can receive the Gold Music Award. First, he must play in the band for a period of two years, after which, if his conduct merits the honor, he receives a monogram. A continuation of such service for two more years entitles him to wear the Gold Music Award if he is approved by the officers of the band, the faculty advisor, and the Director of Education and Training, and if his attend- ance records are good. An Apprentice wearing this award could do so with justifi- able pride. 88 The Gold Athletic Award The Gold A thletic Award is the highest recognition of athletic achievement that an Apprentice can receive. To be eligible for this award an athlete must receive two monograms for one sport, playing for four con- secutive years or serving his best until eliminated for some reason beyond his control. The award is made by the Athletic Council, but only upon approvals from the Athletic Director and the Director of Education and Training. The recipients of this year’s awards are: Russell Eugene Bryant in Football Robert William Kendrick in Football James Edward O’Donnell in Track Theodore Burniss Ray in Wrestling The First Term Chemistry Award This award was hrst made in the Apprentice School in 1949. To the student receiving the highest average grade in beginning chemistry during the fall term of each year the Chemical Rubber Publishing Company presents a copy of Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. A prac- tical award for which varied uses may he found, this Handbook is well worth the eliort required for its attainment. W. R. Phillips, Jr., was the recipient of the 1950 award which was presented in behalf of the Chemical Rubber Publishing Company by Mr. William Heltzel of the Science Department of the Apprentice School. 90 One of the most coveted awards offered by the School is the “letter” awarded for outstanding per- formance in the field of athletics. This award is made for athletic prowess in a variety of varsity sports football, baseball, basketball, track, and wrestling. I o receive the award, which is usually presented before the assembled student body by the coach, rep- Following are the 1950 recipients: resenting the Student Board of Directors, an aspirant must either play a required amount of time or ac- cumulate a prescribed number of wins or points. Finally, his receiving or not receiving the award is determined through consultation with the various coaches and the Director of Education and Training or his assistants. Carl O. Parker W. M.

January 19, 1951, at eight o’clock, graduation exercises for the Class of 1950 were held at the Apprentice Athletic Building. With Mr. J. B. Woodward, Jr., President of the Com- pany, presiding, certificates of completed Ap- prenticeships and other awards were presented in an informal ceremony. As Mr. F. R. White explained later in the pro- gram. this small degree of informality existed due to the small number of the graduating class present, many of whom were awav at college and unable to attend. The above facts were also responsible for the deviation from the practice of using the Newport News High School audi- Mr. J. B. Woodward, Jr., master of ceremonies, (seated in rear, Mr. H. F. Harvey, Jr.) torium for the exercises as has been customaiy in the past. Following the entrance of the graduates, the program was opened with the singing of our National Anthem by Mr. George W. Keane. Mr. Woodward then introduced the Reverend Monsignor W. A. Gill, St. Vincent de Paul who led the invocation. After greetings from the Student Body were delivered by W. B. Miffleton, Jr., President ol the Student Body, Mr. Woodward introduced Mr. W. A. Leyland, President of the Apprentice Alumni Association. Mr. Leyland presented the Charles F. Bailey Scholarship Awards, the Niels 94 Speaker f or the evening, Mr. H. Franklin Harvey, Jr. (Mr. J. B. Woodward, Jr., background) incentive in the future to all who seek success. The main event of the evening, the presenta- tion of certificates by Mr. F. R. White, Director of Education and Training, followed. Each graduate mounted the steps to the stage, accepted his certificate along with Mr. White’s comments, and crossed the stage in his last appearance as an Apprentice. E. W. Buckingham then re- sponded for the graduates with an eloquent token of gratitude to the Apprentice School and the Company by which it is sponsored. At the close of the benediction by Reverend Gill, everyone enjoyed refreshments consisting of punch and cake served by Miss Glenna Howser and Miss Jane Dibble. Christiansen Craftsmanship Awards, and the Homer L. Ferguson Award, all of which are awarded annually by the Apprentice Alumni Association. Mr. Vernon C. Haynes, Athletic Director of the Appi entice School, presented the Gold Ath- letic Awards to those deserving men who num- bered four. Two were football awards, one was for track, and the fourth was a wrestling award. Presentation of awards completed, Mr. Wood- ward called on Mr. F. R. Benson, Chief Engineer for the Yard, who in turn introduced the Speaker of the evening, Mr. H. F. Harvey, Jr., Electrical Engineer. His stirring address will long be re- membered by the audience and may serve as an Mr. W. A. Leyland, presenting Alumni awards (C. N. Robeson, W. A. Leyland) 95 Riverside Nurse’s Dance Honoring Freshman Class The Riverside Student Nurses gave a dance in honor of the Apprentice Freshman Class the night of August 31, 1950. The dance was held in the recreation room of the Nurses’ Home, which was decorated to suit the occasion. The evening was muggy anti torrid — typical of our late sum- mer evenings. Consequently, everyone was miserable at the beginning ot the dance. The fact that both the nurses and the boys were new merely aggra- vated the situation. Things got off to a good start, however, when Miss Hobble and M iss March, the Student Nurses’ counselors, introduced the near- est boy and girl all around, thus starting a chain reaction. Fans were brought in and the boys were bidden to remove their coats. Tension thus allevi- ated, both groups proceeded to enjoy the dance. It was the greatest thing that could happen to a new nurse or Apprentice trying to orient her- self or himself in a new com- munity. •jm m 96 Apprentice Homecoming - 1950 This year’s homecoming game got ofT to a. bang-up start two days early with a pep rally and an effigy hanging of our opponent team, Hampdcn-Sydney. The stands were loaded and spirits were high when our guests, the William and Mary band, played the National Anthem. Just before the kickoff I heard a familiar voice say, “We gung win, eh, Luigi?” At about the end of the third quarter we were deeply moved when the tune of “Happy Birthday” burst forth in honor of one member of our stalwart team. You know who! You know, it all went off fine — but we could have won, “doggone it!” Of course, this didn’t dampen spirits enough to spoil the Alumni dance after the game. 97 S TAF F Miss Marjorie Kauffman Newport News, Va. 98 Miss Nellena Bright Hickory, N.

The building was appropriately decorated with holly, mistletoe, and pine branches and, of course, the Christmas tree, all of which provided a warm yule-tide atmosphere. About two hundred people were present at the party, including Apprentices, members of the faculty, guests, and the smaller children who were busy the entire evening watching and wait- ing for Santa Claus to make his appearance. W. B. Miffleton, Jr., President of the Student Body, served as master of ceremonies and deliv- ered a brief welcome speech on behalf of the School. The entire group then sang “God Bless America” alter which W. B. Miffleton, Jr., of- fered the invocation. Under the direction of Miss Martha Marsh, and accompanied by Miss Joyce Parker, the Riverside Student Nurses’ Glee Club presented t lie first number of a program of Christmas music. The medley, consisting of “The First Noel,” “Silent Night,” “White Christmas,” and “Jingle Bells,” proved to be most delightful and was enjoyed by all. A humorous Christmas story was then told by 100 Quiz Kids — “M. C.” Miffleton and contestants Moore, Landes and Blanks Mrs. T. S. Blackman and was enjoyed very much, especially by the children who were present. Gene f lowers and several Apprentices then led a group singing of several of the most popu- lar Christmas Carols, after which “The Penin- sulaires Quartet,” composed of Doug Goope, Harry Goodrich, Jerry Joynes, and George Fen- ton, gave their rendition of “Deck the Halls” and “Dry Bones,” the latter proving especially popular with the audience. The next spot on the program proved to be one of the highlights of the evening with a “Truth or Consequences” quiz, putting mem- bers of the Student Body against members of the Faculty. The Faculty was represented by Mr. F. R. White, Mr. J. J. Carvil, and Mr. P. B. Givens while the students were represented by M. E. Moore, John Landis and Billy Blanks. The quiz resulted in Mr. White’s impersonating a cuckoo, and Mr. Givens’ giving forth with a bell ringing act while the Apprentices emerged the victors. There were rumors that partiality was shown by the cpiiz master but no confirma- tion of this has been received. A series of movies were then shown which in- cluded several cartoons and sports films. As the lights went on after the last reel, the jolly old man in the red suit, enacted by an unknown Apprentice, made his appearance much to the delight of the children. Santa went around to each tot giving out candy and taking Christmas orders. After each child had talked with Santa, he mounted his sleigh and departed for his work- shop at the North Pole to await Christmas Eve. Following Santa’s departure, the entire group adjourned to enjoy the cake and punch which was served so graciously by Miss Jane Dibble and Miss Glenna Howser.

It has been their practice to have some social activity at least four times yearly, but during the planning for this gathering, Mr. Joe D. Smith, the Apprentice Instructor of the Hull Drawing Room, suggested that some non-Drawing Room Apprentices be invited. The intention was to gradually increase the number until the thing ceased to be a depart- ment social and became a school event. So, for the oyster roast, each Drawing Room Apprentice brought one other couple and all had a great time. The success of this idea has led to even broader plans for future socials with the basic idea of increasing interest in the school as such rather than simply as part of a job. 104 Domitory Life G. H.

There is no belter place to learn cooperation, self-sacrifice, and training of the mind than on the field of some athletic contest. We strive for victories, but that is not the whole purpose of athletics. We only hope that we can teach the boys under us that the object is to do the best we can. Win or lose, all we ask is that a boy perform to the best of his ability. Vernon C. Haynes Athletic Director. Coach John Burns The Coaching Staff Coach “Pop” Lamkin Coach “Granny” Gresham REAL FELLOWS 113 Our Gang The Managers I he nucleus of the Managerial Staff is built this year around Senior Manager Bill Pettit. Many think the responsibilities ol the Managerial Staff are few, but those who have served in the past realize the never ending lists of duties which confront these managers. To obtain a monogram as a man- age, one must complete 800 hours of man- agerial work to be awarded his big A. Although their job is one of no glory and unappreciated service, the Stall of Managers takes pride in performing their duties. Ill A Football Squab FOOTBALL Coach Vernon “Lefty” Haynes’ football aggregation for the 1950 season once again upheld its standing as a football team not to be taken for granted. The Maroon and Gold eleven won three anti lost four for the season record, but two of our wins came over little six confer- ence teams. The team was lighter than most of its opponents this year, but what it lacked in weight it made up in spirit. Pre-season’s expectations were lived up to by the team which would have really been in high gear except for the induction into the armed forces of many of the team’s reserves. The ball-toting abilities of such standout backs as Rex Forbes, Donnie Robertson, Bur- leigh Harwood, combined with the aerial talents of Bob Lincoln, proved to be a threat for many of our opponents. Up front, the team was equally well equipped with talented linemen, who were usually deep in the opponents’ backfield. If nothing else was accomplished, the Shipbuilders were build- ing for a greater season to come. Season s Record Sept. 15. E. C. T.

The weight of the Carolina eleven proved too much for the game, but light Apprentice team. The game was full of flashy running and aerial plays plus strong defensive play. The Maroon and Gold scored first on a pass play from Lincoln to Smith but held the lead only a short time. The Visitors came back to score once in the third quarter and twice in the final quarter to beat the Shipbuilders 21-7. “Rex” Forbes 116 Randolph-Macon “Larry” Crockett The A’s in their second game of the season played inspired ball to beat the highly favored Randolph- Macon team 15-13 on the A’s gridiron. Conley Smith’s recoveiy of a Jacket fumble set the stage for the first Apprentice score. 1 ' hree plays later, Bob Lincoln scored for the A’s with Billy Blanks scoring the bonus point making it 7-0. Larry Shiflett, R-M back, scored in the second quarter to put the Jackets in a better position, but the extra point was blocked by Len Ilish and the half ended with the A’s leading 7-G. The A’s opened the second half by marching down to the R-M one, where the Jackets halted the A’s, but three plays later, John Landis dropped Harold Gray behind the goal line making the score 9-6. Wayne Begor came back in the last quarter to score, giving R-M the lead 1 3-9. Less than five minutes remaining, the A’s bounced back with Rappold scoring, making the score 15-13. Burlf.ich Harwood The Forward Wall 117 Potomac State “ liubber ” Ilish Elmi r Teaslev Coni.f.y Smith Left to right, Norris Monk, Paul Gresham Starting off like a ball of fire, the Potomac State eleven defeated the Shipbuilders 44-25 on the A’s home field. Five minutes after the opening kick-off the Potomac hoys had rolled up 13 points to give them the lead, but the A’s came back in the second quarter to tie the game 13-13 at half- time. As the second half opened, the A’s took the lead, and the third quarter ended with the Shipbuilders on top by 25-18. In the final quarter of the game the “Catamounts” exploded, scoring 25 points, putting the game on ice for the visitors and giving them a 44-25 win over the Shipbuilders. 118 Hampden-Sydney “Dolly” Pauls The arc lights of our stadium were burning and a crowd of more than 2,000 was on hand for the Apprentice Homecoming Game with the Hampden- Sydney Tigers. Early in the opening stanza, Bob Lincoln’s fourth down punt was blocked on his 31-yard line and a lew plays later, Howell Gruver scored for the Tigers. The pitching arm of Bill Blair proved bad lor the Shipbuilders as he passed for 4 T.D.’s and kicked four placements. The A’s scores came in the last quarters with Billy Blanks doing the honors for the Maroon and Gold’s. “Move over, here comes Billy.” T. T. Palmer John Rappold 119 Atlantic Christian Harry Bradshaw The Apprentices, on their first road trip of the season, journeyed down to Wilson, N. C., to meet the Atlantic Christian Bull Dogs. Bob Lincoln, triple threat man on the “A” team, saw onlv brief action as did Len Ilish, blocking back for the A’s. Fumbles and pass interceptions in the first half cost our team the game and the A’s went down to their second straight defeat 7-6. “Bill” Loyd “Billy” Blanks 120 Wilson Teachers It was only ten minutes after the opening whistle that the Capitol City boys fumbled on their own 17, and John Rappold scored the firsrt T.D. of the evening, witli Billy Blanks kicking the extra point. The A’s second score came in the final seconds of the first stanza on a pass play from Pat Phillips to Gene Corson. Wilson, in the second quarter of the game, came back on pass plays to score two T.D.’s and the half closed with the Ship- builders on top. The second half opened and again the Shipbuilders recovered a fumble and four plays later Harwood scored for the A’s, fol- lowed by a 70-yard march by Wilson and the third quarter ended 21-18. The A’s clinched matters in the last quarter with Harwood scoring two more, making the score 34-18. Hilton Jones 121 Bridgewater The A’s closed their 1950 campaign with their third win of the season over the Bridgewater Eagles. John Rappold started the scoring for the A’s followed by Harwood ' s pass to Rex Forbes and the Shipbuilders were oft to a last first quarter. The Eagles’s scoring started on a recov- ered fumble behind the goal line and struck right back on a Wendell Graham “Beef” Lewis drive after Lou Hamilton was forced to kick and it was 14-13. The A’s, not to be outdone, scored on the second play after the kickoff on a pass tossed front Lincoln to Rappold and the half closed with the A’s on top 21-13. The second half opened and again it was Lincoln to Rappold for the A’s with the Bridge- water eleven scoring the final tally in the last quarter, but the game ended with the A’s winning 35-19. 122 TOUCH FOOTBALL Coach Madsen When the 1950 City Men’s Touch Football League opened in October, the Apprentice squad shared hopes with four other teams of winning the championship. These teams included the Blue Devils, last year’s champions, the Boule- vards, E.D.C.S., and Chapel Park. During the first week of play, the Apprentices suffered one loss to the Blue Devils and tied with the Boulevards in their second game. This put them in second place which they re- tained throughout the first half of the league games. By the end of the first half, the Apprentices had been victorious in all their games except Bobby” Belford Co-Captain The Touch Foo t ball Team 123 Dick ” Collier those in which they were bettered by the Blue Devils and the one tied with the Boulevards. The Apprentices got off to a good start in the second half by topping E.D.C.S. by sixty points, the largest margin attained in any of the league games. However, the Ap- prentices lost again to the Blue Devils and were again rolling along in second place. In gaining their next two victories, the Apprentices won all the games which stood between them and the last play-off against the victorious Blue Devils. Their next game determined the champion. Thus in line for the championship, the two teams battled it out and the Blue Devils gained the title by defeating the Appren- tices. Their success is attributed to the fact that the Blue Devils are a very closely-knit team and that each player knows his team- mate’s playing ability. I‘he final records show that the Appren- tices had achieved second place in each half with a total of eight wins, one tic and four losses, all to the Blue Devil Champions. Sherwood Hill 124 The Maroon Shipbuilder of 1949-50 BASKETBALL Coach Gordon E. “Pop” Lamkin’s well tutored 1949-50 Maroon and Gold Hoopsters suffered one of their worst seasons in com- pleting one of the toughest schedules ever undertaken by an Ap- prentice team. Although the team was short in height and experi- ence, it displayed superb ball handling, brilliant floor work and a splendid fighting spirit. The tough competition of the schedule proved too much for our squad to overcome and the final tally found them winning six and coming in on the short end of eighteen games (outplayed but not outfought) . The team was seriously handicapped by the loss of seven letter Frank Hopkins Coach Lamkin 125 “Lou Liberty men from the previous year’s team which won 15 and lost 10 games. Coach Lamkin brought up three members of last year’s }. V. team, foe Price, Skippy McCarthy and Willie Whitman, and four members of the Apprentice House League, Buck Ivey, Sher- wood Hill, Jimmy O’Donnell and Jimmy Kosicki made the squad. “Flip” Allen was drafted from the City League and took over a starting assignment at forward where he proved to be a veritable ball hawk. Coach Lamkin was severely handicapped by the fact that four of his lettermen were football players and could not practice until the football schedule was completed. Practice started No- vember 1 and the season started November 23 with the strong E.C.T.C. team from Wilson, N. C., which game was lost 53 to 56. The team’s chances were further hurt by the loss of its outstand- ing forward “Durnie” Durnovich, who, after playing outstanding ball in four games, left school. “Bob” Lincoln, regular guard and excellent playmaker, was forced out after playing in parts of five games by; a bad knee injury suffered in football. Conley Smith, another regular who had been starting at forward, left the squad after playing in six games. When Lou Liberty, a reserve guard, moved into a starting slot, the team settled down to meet the coming schedule. The squad, paced by Co-Captains Eddie Cooper and Frank Hopkins, showed their skill in scoring victories over such teams as: Atlantic Christian, University of Richmond Frosh, R.P.I., Langley Field Flyers and the College of Hampton Roads. While losing the greater percentage of the schedule, our boys played many a hair-raising battle before going down to such teams as W. M. Frosh, Shenandoah College, Bluefield, Randolph-Macon, “Eddie” Cooper “Buck” Ivey 126 Hampden-Sydney and Eastern Carolina Teachers. Top scoring honors were nabbed this year by Eddie Cooper with 404 points in 24 games, a 16.16 average per game. Cooper was pushed all season by Frank Hopkins who tallied 236 points in 23 games. The team played a fine brand of ball throughout the season, especially with our opponents across Hampton Roads, the Nor- folk Division of the College of William and Mary — V.P.I. The two games with the Division seemed to contain something of a rivalry in being two of the “hottest” and hardest fought games ol the cage season. Our boys ran into two overtime tilts, one which was handed us by the Division. Norfolk won by a score of 56-53, having also tripped us earlier in the season, 72-61. The other overtime tussle was against Randolph-Macon College to a 71-69 tune, favor the Yellow Jackets. Highest game score was chalked up by the team when they encountered the College of Hampton Roads on our own hard- wood. The score, believed to be the largest ever recorded by an Apprentice basketball team, read at the final toot of the whistle: Apprentice 119 — College of Hampton Roads 21. Although the record of achievement up the ladder of victories was noticeably small, the spirit and determination of this year’s squad assures us of another fighting team next year. 127 Ring up two more.” Varsity Basketball 1949-50 Name Games Points Average Per Game Eddie Cooper 24 404 16.16 John Durnovitch 5 61 15.05 Frank Hopkins 23 236 10.20 Phillip Allen 20 183 9.15 Bob Lincoln 6 45 7.50 Buck Ivey 21 93 4.42 Joe Price 17 87 4.14 Buddy Bryant 21 62 3.64 Lou Liberty 18 45 2.50 Sherwood Hill 16 40 2.30 Jimmy O’Donnell . 14 18 1.20 Skippy McCarthy 20 23 1.15 Jimmy Kosicki 16 17 1.06 Billy Whitman 18 18 1.00 Jesse Kelly 13 13 1.00 Season’s Record Nov. 23 F.

V. squad, coached by Don Schwartz, saw action against a variety of teams during the course of the 1950 season. Victory was achieved as the team closed out the season with a total of 26 games won against 7 losses. Of the 33 games played, 22 contests were staged against teams in the Shipyard League. The remaining 1 1 games were staged in a number of different courts against a variety of teams. These included sev- eral contests with college J. V. squads, the N. N. H. S. Alumni, the Hampton A Club, and the Apprentice House League cham- pion Pencil Pushers. The team played in the Shipyard League playoffs and was invited to compete in the Peninsula Invitational Tournament. In a two-game series with the }. V. team of R. P. I., the Appren- tice won the game played at Richmond after having lost the con- test played at the Apprentice Gym. The team revenged the defeat Coach Swartz Homer Cuddy 129 Doyle Watkins given them on their home court by defeating the Richmonders by a 13 point margin, the score being 44-31. The N. A. C. A. Ap- prentice also met defeat at the hands of our team in a home game, as did the N. N. H. S. Alumni and the Pencil Pushers. The team made the play-offs in both halves of the Shipyard League, only to lose out on the championship in the final game. In the Peninsula Invitational Tournament the squad won their first game but lost to the N. A. C. A. Apprentice by a single point; score 34-33. Of the team’s eleven members, all saw extensive action with the exception of Boney, who left school early in the season. Doyle Watkins led the team for individual scoring, making a total of 243 points during the season, giving him a 7.3 game average. He also ranked high in the score column in the Yard League. The team’s captain. Homer Cuddy, teas second highest with 225 points for the season. Others who netted a good number of points in- clude Wheeler and Perrot.

Those elected to office were J. H. Rappold, President; A. C. Howell, Vice-Presi- dent; B. C. Vinson and F. D. Merritt, Co-Secretaries. At this meeting the House League Rides and Regula- tions were drawn up and agreed upon. Practice games were scheduled a few weeks before the official game started. The games were held on Tuesdays and Thurs- days of every week in the Apprentice Athletic Build- ing. The League was composed of eight teams which played 4 games per night from 6:00 P. M. to 10:00 P. M., changing each hour. This gave time for eight minute quarters and a few minutes of practice. On December 6, 1949, after the individual teams had their pictures taken, the ball was tossed up and the season was well on its way. The League played Champions 131 Sheet Metal a split season with the two top winners of each half to be placed in the final tests after the season ended on March 14, 1950. The championship finals were played at the Athletic Building and brought together the Pencil Pushers and Sheet Metal, and the Apprentice Gallery and Pattern Shop for the consolation. The Apprentice Gallery won over the Pattern Shop by a score of 48 to 39. In the championship test, the Pencil Pushers lost a heart-breaking game to the Sheet Metal cagers by a score of 29 to 36, thus making the Sheet Metal the champion of the House League for the 1949-50 season. The morning and week-end papers carried a brief writeup on the teams’ scores and the coming weeks’ schedule, plus the top 10 high scores during the season. Records were kept on the individual high scorers and the highest scorer of the season received, along with the championship team, a small gold basketball and a small “A” monogram.

Even though the squad was unable to gain a victory in six outings, it did make a very good showing. In the course of the season, two meets had to be postponed due to bad weather, and a seventh meet with the University of Richmond was also cancelled. The schedule was somewhat hard and under the circumstances, the squad did very well. A familiar fan was missing around the track and in the dress- ing room this season; Athletic Director Frank Dobson who was Coach Gresham 134 retired before the season began. Granville “Granny” Gresham, the A’s able Coach, assisted by Coach Haynes, worked hard and did much for the team. The job was made more difficult by the fact that several of last year’s lettermen were no longer enrolled in school. Between trying to fill these vacancies, working with members of last year’s squad, and developing the newcomers, our coaching staff was kept very busy. Pre-season practice was hindered a great deal by the weather, frequently forcing the team to practice in the school gym. The squad was hard hit by injuries and sickness, espe cially as several of the team’s members came down with the mumps shortly before the season began. Having two meets staged on opponents’ tracks and four on their own cinderpath, the Apprentice team saw much action at home. All of the meets were dual meets. On their first outing, the squad traveled to Williamsburg to encounter the W M Varsity on the Tribe’s Cary Field. As was to become the usual thing, the weather was poor for track squad activities. The Apprentice cindermen grabbed an early lead in the field events but the final score was greatly in favor of the Tribe, showing the A’s lack of reserves and representa- tion in the middle distance running events. For their next two encounters, the Shipbuilders remained on their own cinderpath and put up a stubborn defense before going down to both the H. S. Tigers and the W 8c M Norfolk Division. In both meets, the Apprentice lost out in the final event of the day. Leading point makers for these meets and throughout the season were Jerry Garrison and Frank Wolfe. In their other other two outings with the R.-M. Yellow Jackets and the Quantico Marines, the Apprentice squad, although not gaining as many points as in previous meets, proved to their opponents that they were a fighting team and good sportsmen. Although the season record is not very impressive, the squad deserves praise in that it did the school credit on many counts. “ Eddie ” Cooper “ Lou ” Liberty “ Jerry ” Garrison Ira Jenkins Jesse Ricks 135 Apprentice Track and Field Records , .HP “Larry” Crockett “Eddie” Burns 100 ...

Groffie 136 VARSITY BASEBALL The 1950 edition of the Apprentice School Varsity Baseball team, while not setting the diamond world on fire, did manage to complete the season with a reasonably respectable 6-0 record. Sparked by the booming bats of first baseman Gene Corson and third sacker Hardy Gwyn, and the wicked left arm of pitching ace “Conky” Sorrell, the A’s were able to score victories over the Norfolk Division of the College of William Mary, the Navy Amphibs of Little Creek, the Medical College of Virginia, and the Richmond Professional Institute. On the darker side, how- ever, the Maroons were unable to salvage even a single victory against the College of William Mary, the Norfolk Naval Base, or the Newport News Dodgers whom they faced in an exhibi- tion tilt. Although the season record of the John Burns coached nine was not too impressive, a great deal of experience was gained which should enable them to give a much better account of them- selves next year. A brief resume of the season’s games shows that the A’s dropped the season opener to the Norfolk Division of William Mary in what proved to be a free scoring affair with the Division com- ing out on top 15-14. In their second game the Burnsmen emerged victorious in de- feating the Little Creek Amphib nine, 5-2. This game was high- lighted by the sterling eight hit pitching performance of Buddy Bryant, while the power at the plate was supplied by Captain Bob Lincoln and Gene Corson. The next game found the A’s losing a hard fought battle to the Medical College of Virginia by a score of 4-2. A bright spot Coach Burns The 1950 Diamond Crew 137 “ Bob ” Lincoln Arthur Rich “ Bob ” Dijnn of this affair was again the slugging of first sacker Gene Corson who collected three of the seven hits gathered by the Maroons. The following game found the Apprentices being handed one of their most humiliating setbacks of the season as they dropped a not-so-close game to the Richmond Professional Institute by the score of 17-5. In this session Bob Lincoln and Hardy Gwyn collected two hits apiece with one of Lincoln’s being a home run. The next game found the A’s emerging victorious once more as they clipped the Medical College in a tight fray 6-5. Bill Sword played the role of here as he not only twirled a seven hit game but also batted in the two runs which provided the margin of victory. The A’s debut against professional talent proved to be both bitter and sweet at the same time. In their exhibition game with the Newport News Dodgers they found themselves on the short end of an 11-2 score due to a leaky infield, but the out- standing performance was turned in by Buddy Bryant who lim- ited the pros to but four hits with only one of them being for extra bases. A return game with the Norfolk Division nine found the Ship- builders avenging an earlier loss to the Norfolk team. Conky Sorrell was the winning pitcher in a game that was not decided until the fourteenth inning when the A’s squeezed across the win- ning run to gain an 8-7 victory. The Apprentices dropped a tough one in their next meeting with the Norfolk Naval Base as Bill Sword tossed a three hitter at the Sailors. His mates were unable to bunch their hits, how- ever, and the Naval Base was the winner of a 3-1 ball game. The next time the A’s took to the field the scorekeepers ran for cover, for the meeting with the Little Creek Amphibs turned out to be a 15-14 victory lor the A’s. With Phil Weddle collect- ing four hits, and Gene Corson banging out three safeties, to- gether with Conky Sorrell’s three hit relief twirling the A’s were able to triumph lor the fourth time this season. In gaining their fifth victory of the year the A’s trounced the Norfolk Division 18-11 in a game that saw Conky Sorrell notch- ing his third victory of the season without a loss. The not-so-lucky eleventh game of the season found the A’s being thoroughly handcuffed by the College of William Mary. Doyle Watkins 138 When the last out was made the storekeeper ' s book showed that the Shipbuilders had gathered but five hits, three of these by left- fielder Gonky Sorrell, and that the Indians from Williamsburg were on the tall end of an 18-5 count. The following game with the Norfolk Naval Base again found the Apprentices the loser by a score of 10-4, despite the hatting talents displayed by Rex Forbes and Hardy Gwyn who collected four and three hits, respectively. With two thoughts in mind, one to break their two game losing streak and the other to gain revenge for a 17-5 loss handed them by the Richmond Professional Institute earlier in the season, the Apprentice School nine put forth an extended effort to close their season with a victory. When, the following tabulations were in, the A’s had bagged a 21-10 victory from R. P. I. Frank Hopkins and Harry Gwyn had collected four hits apiece, John Gope had scored five runs, and Gonky Sorrell had closed out a perfect sea- son on the mound by notching his fourth victory of the campaign without a single defeat.

Coached and cap- tained by Rex Forbes, the Maroons finished the first half in a tie for fourth place with the North Side, with a 7-4 record. The second half found the slightly improved Maroon men in a tie for second place with the Newport News Elks, with a 5-2 record. Going into the play-offs as the fourth seeded team, the Maroons found them- selves pitted against the potent Dowdy’s Plumb- ers, who after a battle disposed of the Maroons by beating them in two-out-of-three games. The final regular season’s record of the Maroons was identical to that of the Golds, won 12, lost 6, with a .667 percentage which many major league managers would be proud to maintain. 140 Hardy Gwyn Gold Team APPRENTICE GOLDS The completion of the 1950 baseball season of the Shipyard League found the Apprentice Golds entry seeded third in the post-season play-offs. Although they dropped two straight games to the Newport News Elks in the preliminary play-off round, the Golds maintained a better than average record for the regular season’s play. Coached by John Burns and captained by Bob Lincoln, the Golds ended the first half of play in a three-way tie for first place with the Elks and Dowdy’s Plumbers, with an 8-5 won-lost record. The second half found the Golds taking a nose- dive and winding up in fourth place with a 4-3 record. In spite of this, the season’s record maintained by the Golds was a highly respectacle 12-6, one which is considered better than average in any league. 141 Apprentice School Team SOFTBALL Another season of softball has been chalked up on the scoreboard with five Apprentice team s par- ticipating in the twelve team Shipyard League. The Shipyard League opened on May 15, 1950, at the Apprentice Athletic Field. There were three games played under the lights each night with the action coming on Monday through Thursday of each week. The five teams, representing the various depart- ments of the Apprentice School, in some cases had men who were not Apprentices in that department but were used in order to make a complete team. The Mold Loft Apprentice Drawing Room teams representing the Apprentices were Apprentice Machine Shops, Hull Apprentices, Apprentice Draw- ing Room, Mold Loft, and the Apprentice School. Each team in the League competed against the others three times, which made a total of twenty-one games not counting the play-offs. The first half of the season ended with the Appren- tice Drawing Room in a tie for first place. The Draw- ing Room club had gathered nine wins and receievd only one setback. Fourth place was held securely by the Mold Loft with eight victories and three losses. A sixth place was sewed up by Apprentice School with a .455 pet. win record. The Apprentice Machinists, though showing plenty of pep, were shoved down the line into eighth spot. Occupying the cellar were the Hull Apprentices having scored only one win while suffering ten losses. The two top winners of both halves engaged in a preliminary play-off and the final test was a three game series to decide the champonship. As was anticipated, two Apprentice teams (Apprentice Drawing Room and Mold Loft) fought their way into the final realm of the series, but lost out in the preliminary play-offs. In individual performances, outfielder L. C. Arm- Apprentice Machinist 143 H ill Apprentices strong sparkplugged the Apprentice School nine in batting and fielding. L. C. batted in the No. 1 posi- tion for his team and finished the season with a .297 batting record. Loaded with plenty of fight and spirit combined with an unusually strong and accurate arm, Armstrong proved to be the right formula in aiding his team towards the win column in many a close bat- tle. Outstanding pitching was turned in by Wendell Wayne Peters Graham who took the mound for the Mold Loft squad. Lite season’s record shows Graham as hav- ing won 10, lost 4, tied 1, a record any twirler could be proud to claim. Two other players, W. B. Miffleton and Wayne Peters, third baseman and left fielder, respectively, for the Hidl Apprentice, paced their team to victories by showing fighting spirit and lightning quick action throughout the season. W. B. Miffleton 144 The Big Six BOWLING TEAM The Apprentice Engine Drawing Room bowling team of 1950, rolling as representatives of the Appren- tice School and captained by Reid Hudson, had as its members: C. C. Cardwell, Earl Blanton, C. B. Fore, Bob Kendrick and Charles Foley. The team was a member of the Shipyard “B” League, which was in turn a member of the National Bowling Congress and was entitled to all the privi- leges of this membership. This league rolled duck pins only. If a member of the team bowls a 200 game or a 500 set, he is entitled to a special award from the National Bowling Congress. The season was continu- ous from the 27th of September until the 19tli of April and each team opposed another each Wednesday night from 7:00 o’clock until the matches were completed. I he team, though not breaking any records, was consistent throughout the season with an average of 98 for the season and the highest individual average for the team was captured by C. C. Cardwell with 101 for the entire season. Cardwell was also honored by the members of the league who elected him treasurer for th 1950 season. The team, after getting off to a slow start, picked up its pace and finished fast by tying with the Foundry for the second half championship. The team was well balanced with everyone giving his best to the cause of the team and by doing so added another intramural sport to the list of Apprentice School teams. 145 1950 Barbell Club WEIGHT LIFTING Among the new intramural sports which were recog- nized by the Apprentice School this year was weight lifting. Weight lifting can be listed in a class of its own, but is most beneficial to candidates in getting in condition for other sports. Bar bells were purchased by the Apprentice School and it was not long before a few Apprentices met together and organized the Bar Bell Club. Member- ship began to grow and in February Bobby Lake was appointed instructor. Meetings were held three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, in the base- ment of the Dormitory. After a short warming up period, Bobby Lake put the boys through a series of light exercises such as the press, the curl and deep knee bends. After this, each boy is given an opportu- nity to develop his body by engaging in those exer- cises he thinks most beneficial to him. With steadily growing interest being shown in the Club, its success can be attributed to the benefits one receives by keeping his body physically fit in season and out. 1 16 Left to right, Nollie Trapp, Dan Merritt, John Piazza CHEER LEADERS Three of our young men with an abundance of school spirit this year again donned their maroon sweaters to sparkplug the backing of our team. The job of helping to revive school spirit rests this year on the shoulders of three young men, Dan Merritt, Nollie Trapp, and John Piazza. A new twist to pep squad activities was added this year with the promotion of pep rallies which highlighted the pre-game activity for the Hampden-Syclney contest. The hanging of a dummy and a yelling crowd of supporters parading down Wash- ington Avenue gave much encouragement to our gridsters. After a few slacking years, it seems that once again the tide of old time spirit has been revived and it looks as though it is well on its way toward postwar revival. “O! Boy! six more points” 147 HELPING HANDS For many years, the students of the Apprentice School have carried their colors forward in all types of sporting events, and in each incident have come to realize how well our athletic facilities are being maintained. This year, the students wish to express their appreciation to Alonza Bonner and Raymond Charles for the part they have played in conditioning our athletic field and gym. We want to express our thanks to Bonner for having patience in improving our field until today it stands as one of the best looking in the state, and then to Raymond who keeps out athletic building and gym in tip top shape year ’round. Their cooperative attitude in helping both coaches and students is a major factor in wishing them to be with us for many years to come.
