We organized as a class with Frances Richardson, president. Our second year found us with quite a few new students, and one of these, Mildred Manahan, became our president. That year we selected Ann Lindsey as our mascot. The year passed swiftly for us and ended in the spring with a delightful picnic of lasting memories. Our Junior year found us excited to be upper-classmen, and again Mil- dred Manahan was our able president. A trip to Washington, D. C., spon- sored by the Seniors was an opportunity of which many of us took ad- vantage. In the spring we presented the annual Junior Play, “Who Wouldn't Be Crazy.’’ The success of this dramatic venture enabled us to give the Seniors a reception later on and to present a gift to the school. We departed at the close of the year ever conscious of returning in the fall. With both joy and sorrow in our hearts—joy because it would mean the success of one phase of our youthful lives, and sorrow because it would mean a separation of paths for us all, and the end of our days at Chester High School, we returned. For three years we struggled with our aspirations of becoming Sen- iors and at last we were! We turned our attention first to elections, and chose for president, John Jones. We observed Class Day by posing as well- known characters—either real or fictious. In our midst that day we will always remember Hitler, Heidi, Jack and Jill, and all the others. From this we turned to the Class Play which our sponsors, Miss Gladys Moses and Miss Nancy Creath, helped to make a success. “whe Retle ctor. . page twenty-four We organized a government club which published a newspaper cre- ating much interest throughout the school. We spent a day at the Gen- eral Assembly in Richmond, and a day in Washington, D. C. Mr. Britton deserves credit for giving us these two highly educational as well as pleas- urable trips. Finally, work on the Year Book was begun, and with John Jones as editor-in-chief and Jimmy Goodwyn as business manager it seemed high- ly probable that our “‘Reflector” would be a success. Instead of the usual May Day, a Field Day was the outstanding event of the spring. On this day the Athletic Field was dedicated. We closed our extra-curricular activities with the most important and most looked-forward-to social event of the season, the Junior-Senior Reception. And now, at last, we have the realization of all our hopes and dreams within our grasp—graduation! Our sincerest wish is that we may be fav- ored in the future with as much grace as in the past. In gratitude, we pause to show our love and appreciation for Chester High School. : “Whe Reflector. page twenty-five OT NULL HAD TESTAMENT Crea E, the Senior Class of Chester High School, in the year of the Lord, 1940, departing from these beloved halls, setting out to explore and conquer a new and strange world, and being of a sound and disposing mind, make, ordain, and publish this, our Last Will and Testament, in the manner and form following: ARTICLE I.

To the newly formed Track Team, we will many more years of success as they have had this year under the able guidance of Coach Kern. Section 4. To the Girls’ Basketball Team, we will a separate hot water system so that they will not use all of the hot water, leaving none for the football team.

LA Gootkall Cro Chester, 6; Virginia Industrial School, 0 The Chester “Maroons” donned their bright new Maroon and Gold uniforms and went into their initial battle of the year against the Virginia Industrial School. Considering that this was the first game, for many of the boys, they did exceptionally well. The battle was a very even match with neither team making any very great advances. The lone score of the game was made by H. Brown. The try for conversion was missed. Chester, 17; Granby, 7 Chester High, trailing 2 to 7 at the end of the first half, rallied to win a 17 to 7 victory over Granby High at Foreman Field. Chester scored a safety in the first quarter, and Granby scored 7 points in the second quar- ter when White crashed over and added the extra point. The outstanding feat of the game was Bobby Terrell’s 93 yard run for a touchdown on the opening kick-off of the second half. He passed to “Mutt” Longest for the extra point. David Small and Ed Isbell blocked a kick for another safety in the third quarter. A 22-yard pass from Harry Brown to Terrell was good for Chester’s last touchdown in the fourth quarter. Chester, 7; Westhampton, 7 Westhampton High School’s Dragons and Chester High’s Maroons battled to a 7 to 7 tie at Chester in a Class B League game. Chester scored in the third quarter when John Jones caught a pass and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. A pass to Bobby Terrell scored the extra point. Raymond Smith caught a pass in the fourth quarter and ran 45 yards for the Dragon score; Smith also place-kicked the extra point. Westhampton marched down to Chester’s 5-yard line in the second quarter but lost the ball on downs. Crewe, 26; Chester, 0 Long John Pond caught two touchdown passes and two passes for extra points to lead Crewe High School to a crushing 26 to 0 victory over Chester. The Railroaders scored on the third play after a fumble by Ches- ter on the opening kick-off. Pond recovered and two plays later struck the goal line. Tippy Morgan and Bill Kelley scored one touchdown apiece for the Railroaders. “We Set le ctor. ; page forty-four Chester, 19; South Norfolk, 7 Chester scored a 19 to 7 victory over South Norfolk there. Chester made two of its touchdowns in the first quarter and added a third in the third quarter. Chester, 26; Blackstone, 12 A fighting Chester High football team knocked Blackstone High School out of the undefeated column by winning 26 to 12 before a large crowd . Chester marched 40 yards for its first touchdown in the first quarter. Rob- ert Powell hit the line for the touchdown and Harry Brown passed to Ter- rell for the extra point. Chester, 13; Morrison, 6 Chester scored in the second quarter when John Jones caught a 20- yard pass from Harry Brown on the 5-yard line and crossed the goal line. Morrison tied the count in the third period when Paris hit the line for a score. The try for conversion was missed. In the same quarter Chester came back to score the winning touchdown—Bruce Graham taking a heave from Brown and running 35 yards for the score. Brown passed to Terrell for the extra point. Suffolk, 7; Chester, 0 The loss of this game was a bitter defeat, not because of the small margin by which it was lost, but because it ruined Chester’s chance at the Class B championship. Although the boys tried hard to bring home the bacon, the Suffolk eleven came out with a 7-point lead. Chester, 7; Fluvanna, 6 Next to the last game of the season Chester won by the small margin of an extra point, a pass caught by John Jones. The battle was nip and tuck all of the way until Powell finally crashed over guard for a score. The visitors scored on a long unsustained march to the goal line. Chester, 28; South Boston, 0 Chester scored in every period to defeat South Boston by the large margin of 28 to 0. Harry Brown scored two touchdowns while Bobby Ter- rel and Robert Powell counted for one each. Terrell caught passes for the first three extra points and the last point was added by Brown. “The Reflector page forty-five Gils ’ Basketball Rosé« Martin's sso. 2 2 2 a ee ee eee eee Captain Maryssie} Palin ergs. 2 eee ee eet ae ee ee ee ee Manager AdG1leS GOy Nese ee se ee ae Assistant Manager Miss Bhidnat Henderson's: s5 ee eee eee ee eee Coach VARSITY Forwards: Guards: Rose Martin Mary Fisher Anne Goodloe Cornelia Lowe Jane Goyne Rita Hatcher Substitute: Iva Lee Coats RESULTS OF SCHEDULE: Octimecom Chest Cha = ==aen = nae 10 Mirco hair eee 16 Nove sole Chester 22 e- Saeee 12 Gran geutla |] eee ee 11 INKohiA, 9 deh COINGER Woe oe oe 7 Manchester yer eee PAI Mionys JIb XGlavetyneie a eg 26 Sta 0S€ Dp hweee eee eee ee ee 21 None alin Klara ee 14 WEEN oe 22 Novernc9 a Chesters= see aoe eee 17 Grange Ea aeeee ses eee ee ig Deckman Om.

The final score was 15 to 10; but in the game with Grange Hall the Chester girls battled to win by a score of 12 to 11. Manchester was the team’s next game but they were de- feated 21 to 7. Again the team had the taste of defeat and prac- ticed only harder to beat St. Joseph’s girls by the score of 26 to 21. This was an indoor game on the evening of November 11. On Novem ber 15 Midlothian defeated Chester for the sec- ond time, the score being 22 to 14. Chester was victorious over her next two foes, Grange Hall and Manchester, taking Grange Hall by a score of 17 to 13 and Manchester by a score of 20 to 17. “She Reflector. page forty-seven ve Cleveland C.

The renewal of interest in this great sport has been due largely to the en- thusiastic and inspiring leadership of Coach Cleveland Kern. While on the University of Richmond track team Coach Kern broke the State A. A. U. record three times for the discus throw. Track, in the past, was one of the most popular of sports at Chester High. This fact is substantiated by the number of loving cups received by the teams. These cups are now on exhibition in the library. This year the team has progresed remarkably, being defeated by Hopewell only eleven points. It should make a very good showing at the State Class B meet in Charlottesville. “She ReFle ctor. page forty-nine oe Co — c= (-2 2 Old Ironsides Club Motto: “Sailing toward the horizon.” Flower: Water Lily Colors: Blue and Gold Mascots: Bill Goodwyn, Mary Lou Robertson OFFICERS: PRE STC Ti eee eee ote an ee Mildred Manahan Vice-President eres Oe a eee ok Oe Te John Jones Hecretary awd w UL CAS UT Crea ee eee es ee Lois Parham Sponsor: Miss Edna Henderson Honorary Members: Mr. E.

If you are able to save money, you can succeed; if not, you will fail! You may not think so, but you will lose as sure as fate, for the seed of success is not in you. Man has two funda- mental weaknesses: His inability to hang on to life as long as he desires and his inability to hang on to his material possessions. Life insurance is the only plan which is certain to offset these two fundamental weaknesses. It not only assists him to save his money but guarantees to him the safest investment and the most secure protection.
