Close inside of Chester’s halls so bright, We have met in comradeship tonight; Chester friendships kind and true Guard our golden memories; And now before we close our eyes in sleep, We have pledged each other that we'll keep Chester friendships kind and true Til we meet again. Tune: °Til We Meet Again | Words by Mary Helen Perkinson The change from one ideal of life to another is al- ways gradual, like the change in seasons. After a time of almost unnoticed alteration in nature, we at length gaze upon a world that hes been transformed. It is natural, then, to look back upon the events which led to the wondrous transformation. The alteration began in September, 1937, as a bewildered, and yet proud, group of Freshmen enrolled at Chester High School. Frantically scurrying about to find the proper classrooms at the proper times, we gradually became adjusted to the new order of life. Termed “green’—as “green” we were—we determined to “climb though the rocks were rugged.” Spring, close on the heels of Winter, brought on vacation and a welcome rest from the quest for Knowledge and Understanding. In the autumn, we returned for another season of expansion and growth. The greenness of our Freshman year faded into a pink glow of pride at being no longer considered “ratss.’ help us and encourage us in our intellectual expansion, Peggy Terrell. It We chose as our mascot, to was on January 27, 1939, that we were given our place in the sun of Chester High School. That day was Sophomore Class Day. During the ensuing vacation, many of our number were beaten to earth, to rise no more. Others came back, with renewed strength, to carry on. As Juniors, our pink of glowing pride merged into a healthy tan as we labored in the strong sunlight of Hope. Feeling “grown up,” as upper classmen, our minds began to sink deeper into the soil of Learning, grasp- ing newer and better things. At long last, we were privileged to join certain clubs and organizations of the school. ce twenty-five “She Reflector “The Sleeping Beauty of Loreland,” our Junior Play, left us with many beautiful memories. We were enabled, as a result of the play’s suc- cess, to give the Seniors a reception of lasting fame. On Field Day, we were indeed proud at being victors of the day. As a final token of respect for our school, we set aside a fund for movies to stimulate the growth of other young minds. As the last season of our growth was ushered in, wintry winds of increasingly difficult tasks blew away the healthy tan of growing things. In its place came the whiteness of old age. With renewed zeal, we put forth our best efforts in a final spirit of energy. Anxiously we awaited the day of pure, shining whiteness—the final Graduation. On February 14, the student body recognized our seniority as we observed Class Day. Closely following, on February 28, ‘““‘The Patsy” made a very successful appearance as our class play. Amid ever changing conditions, we remained undaunted. In increas- ing fury, the storms of difficult lessons beat upon us; with increasing brilliance, the sun of Hope and Achievement shone down on us, until at last, the day of days dawned—Graduation! By consistent effort and by tedious care, a tiny plant bursts through the earth, which has nurtured it in sunshine and storm alike, to behold all the world spread around it. Only then does the plant begin to grow into usefulness. It becomes quite different from the tiny seed from which it grew. We, the Seniors of 1941, have sprung from a tiny seed. Nurtured in school, by the storms of hard tasks and by sunshine of encouraging spon- sors, we are just beginning to realize the vastness of the realm of Knowl- edge. We are indeed grateful for the storms of the past; for only through overcoming obstacles can we become strong men and women. We are just beginning to grow in the field of Learning. Briefly we pause in our quest, to pay homage to the guiding influences of a past ideal borne into the future. Then, with courage in our hearts and a gleam in our eyes, we leave Chester High School with memories that will never forsake us.

In testimony whereof, we have written and signed and do declare this to be our Last Will and Testament. (Signed) THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1941 The following, by special request, have consented to act as witnesses: Beowulf Patsy Harrington Spike McFoodle pa twenty-nine “The Refle Ves tor One drowsy summer day, as I wandered on the pine-carpeted floor of the great forest of the future, I suddenly came upon a faint path that covered a trace of mystery. Following it, I came upon an old hollow tree heavy with fresh green leaves. Being very tired and weary, I decided to rest at the base of the old tree. When I leaned back against the tree, the trunk proved to be a door to Father Time’s abode, and I found myself staring the old man straight in the face. “Why I remember you—,” he said. ‘‘Way back in ’41 when you were a senior at Chester High School, I planned your future as well as that of your classmates!” “Oh! So you’re the one to whom I owe my joy and sorrow!” With an understanding gri n he replied, ““Yes—and it seems as though you and your classmates have made the best of your opportunities.” “Please tell me how fate has treated my classmates!” I asked. “T’ll do better than that,” he proudly replied. “I'll give you a brief glimpse of your classmates as they are today, ten years after leaving Chester.” Before I could answer, I found myself looking into the studios of a world-famous artist whom I recognized as James Bartle. He has gone far since leaving Chester. His pictures hang in galleries all over the world! As I was about to speak to him, I was whisked away and immed iately found myself face to face with Carl Sherman who was, of all things, the mayor of Smalltown! I wanted to talk to him, but my attention was diverted by a shiney sheriff s badge to which Garland Langster was pinned. Starting madly to cross the street, I found myself in the path of an on- coming taxi-cab which was driven by none other Charles “Trip Busty” Brown. Bang! Everything went black!!! Although I had only minor scratches at the worst, I was rushed to the nearest hospital. While I was waiting my turn in the emergency room, a nurse, whom I recognized as Martha Goodwyn, entered to assure me that Dr. Ernest Gates, who was performing a delicate operation on the throat of the great singer, Frances Quaiff, (Will she recover? That is the ques- tion!) would soon be down. After Dr. Gates had administered first aid he took me on a tour of the hospital. I passed Mavis Howard who Dr. Gates said was the new superintendent; he also said Marjorie Hunt had recently been appointed superintendent of the operating room. Walking ., the corridor, I glanced into a small room and saw an intern setting a small child’s leg. The child was accompanied by his mother, the former Martha Landrum of our school days. The intern looked familiar— “he Reflec tor con thirty why, no wonder! It was Gilbert Martin! While I was walking down- stairs, Ernest told me that another of my schoolmates was his dietician. She was none other than Alma Traylor. Glancing at the clock, I found it necessary to hasten my departure; so I proceeded down the street with Father Time. Catching a bus driven by Vernon Neblett at the street corner, I went downtown and proceeded to engage a room at a modern hotel. I was wel- comed by the hotel hostess, who turned out to be Beatrice Vaughan. Imagine my surprise to find Lynwood Tiller as desk clerk! After greeting me, he enlightened me to the fact that the hotel manager was Henry Spiers. When I decided to eat dinner, my waitress turned out to be Katherine Cousins. In answer to my inquiry, she informed me that the hotel had recently been re-decorated by Cornelia Lowe and Mary Fisher—lInterior Decorators, Inc., from New York City. After a restful night on mattresses from the W. J. Underwood Mattress Company and a delightful breakfast cooked by Chef Thomas Wilmoth, I settled down in an easy chair to read the daily paper edited by Louise Garton. Of course, I turned first to the funnies, and there I found Spike McFoodle drawn by George Jinkins—Jinx and his brain-child seem to be doing very well! Upon reading further, I found an advertisement for a famous concert at which Anlouise Brand would play. In small print under the advertise- ment, I discovered that Billy Pickhardt’s successful theatrical agency was sponsoring this concert. The fashion page edited by none other than Lily Hancock—why, she was the best dressed in our class! Turning next to the sports page, which I found to be edited by Levi Johnson, I noticed a picture of Hillebrand Jones who will again play pro- fessional football this fall. In the meantime, Coach Edward Isbell is seeing that his star player doesn’t break training. “ROSE MARTIN TO BE NEW COACH AT WILLIAM AND MARY” —was the next headline that greeted my eyes. She succeeds Jane Goyne, who has taken up the holy bonds of matrimony. I also noticed a baseball score—Philadelphia Athletics, 14; Washing- ton Senators, 10. Much to my surprise I discovered that Luther Chandler was coaching the “Phillies” and was supported by his players, Louis Farmer and Lee Johnson. Suddenly the radio blared forth and I heard a melodious voice, which I recognized as John Kellam’s, announcing: ‘‘Duane Curtis and Her Sum- mary of the News” from South America sponsored by the Ethel Birdsong Cold Cream Company. Deciding to get some fresh air, I walked slowly down the shady side of Main Street. In dropping by the library, I spied Louise Beckner behind the desk. After talking with her a while, I started looking over the books. I was very pleased to find a novel written by Carolyn Putney. Her ambi- tions have at last been realized. Glancing through the book, I found it to be illustrated by Mary Thornton. Louise called my attention to an auto- biography—“US”—by two veterans of the old days in the R. A. F., Frank Curtis and Philbert Neatrour. Father Time, who had been lurking in the background, beckoned me on once more. Passing by the school several blocks down the street, I ae thirty-one “Whe Reflec tor noticed a familiar figure in the school yard painstakingly giving exercises to unwilling pupils. Giving vent to my curiosity, I entered the school yard and saw Mary Helen Perkinson. (Maybe she will go to Columbia Univer- sity some day.) After chatting a while, she told me she had a surprise in store and thereby led me into the principal’s office. Seated behind a huge desk was Alvin Hungerford. Well, I’ll say that was a surprise! Alvin informed me that Mabel Terrell and Peggy Hagen were also mem- bers of his faculty. He advised me to stop by the Girl’s Junior College where Julia and Janie Snead were deeply engrossed in drilling French into the heads of poor, misguided, innocent pupils. Bidding Alvin farewell, I strolled into the business district of town. Father Time urged me into a large bank where I was confronted by a type- writer, behind which labored Dorothy Walker. She led me into the office of the president; there I perceived W. J. Moore, dictating a letter to his personal secretary, Betty Roberts. Shortly afterwards, I departed for the movies where Virginia Barden and Thomas Snellings were co-stars in a new musical hit produced by War- ren Cunningham. After thoroughly enjoying the picture, I was brought the “News of the Day” by John Guill Flash! Admiral E. 8. H. Greene leaves on a good will tour of the Americas. Next I was faced by Thomas Bury and Alice Salmon, missionaries who had just returned from South Africa. Robert Powell and his assistant, Margaret Clark, then appeared on the screen, smiling proudly because they had found a device for curing “‘swell-headedness.” A stage show was next on the program. The master of ceremonies was none other than Junior Harper, and in his girl’s quartet I heard the voices of Joyce Floyd, Margaret Perrin, Christine Barden, and Rosie Lee Burnham. Upon leaving the movies, I was confronted by Dorothy Pettway and her group of Girl Scouts. In a garage farther down the street, I dis- covered Gus Stein working industriously on a limousine while Jean Bowery, the successful owner, stood by helplessly. After we had chatted a while, Jean suggested that we go down to the department store while her car was being repaired. Putting action into her words, we paused in front of the store to view the displays. Lo and behold !—Percy Curtis—a window decorator! We next ran the risk of the revolving doors successfully and found ourselves in the midst of a mad scramble. Three clerks, Virginia Eyler, Nellie Gemundt, and Gaynelle Parham, were trying to satisfy, without success as yet, Teresa Pleasants with a new hat. We thought the hats of ’41 were terrible—but these??? For some strange reason, I began to be very thirsty. I found a water fountain and bent over to quench my thirst—at that instant, I became aware of the fact that water was pouring all over my face! I sat up and looked around. Why, I wasn’t in a department store after all! Here I was under the same tree where I had sat down to rest, and the rain was pouring! So it was alla dream! With these thoughts in my mind, I wearily trudged down the path in the rain—homeward bound.

I. S. Chester started the season against a hard-hitting and hard to beat V.I.S. team. Chester, being the stronger team, won by a score of 20 to 12. The touchdowns were made by Chandler, Stubbs and Tucker. Chandler and Isbell ran the two extra points. Luther Chandler had the honor of being captain of the team during the opening game of the season. Chester vs. Hopewell Edward Isbell lead the Chester Maroons against a strong and heavy Hopewell team in which Chester was entirely outclassed. Although Hope- well defeated Chester 54 to 2, the Chester boys went down fighting hard. Billy Pickhardt scored the two points for Chester by tackling a Hopewell player after he had received a flat pass behind the end zone. Chester vs. Westhampton The Chester Maroons faced a hard fighting Westhampton team for their first class “B”’ game of the season. Chester, leading by only one point at the half, tallied four touchdowns in the last half to take the game by a score of 33 to 8. Isbell led the scoring with two touchdowns and Tucker, Cogbill, and Chandler followed with one each. Levi Johnson was captain of the game. Chester vs. Crewe Bill Pickhardt captained Chester’s first home game of the season against Crewe. Crewe’s continuous air attack brought them out on the long end of a 26 to 6 score. Although the Chester boys failed to stop the aerial attack, the Crewe boys were unable to gain much on the ground. Jack Cogbill ran the lone touchdown for Chester. Chester vs. South Norfolk Seeking to avenge themselves for the game of the previous season, the South Norfolk Tigers fought tooth and nail to tie the Chester Maroons 0 to 0 on Greene Field. The entire game was nip and tuck for both teams. Captain Robert Tucker led the Maroons up the field to the Tiger goal line four consecutive times, but each time they were repelled. ay hie Reflector. sees forty-four Chester vs. Granby Hillebrand Jones led Chester against Granby on Foreman Field in Norfolk in a very uneven match. Chester was outclassed by Granby and lost 45 to 0. Harry Southee, right guard, played a very fine game in spite of the heavy odds. Chester vs. Morrison Captain Warren Underwood led the Chester Maroons to victory against Morrison in one of the toughest games of the season. According to the statistics, the Maroons outplayed Morrison, yet the goal line was too heavily guarded to be crossed. Eighteen seconds before the end of the game, Luther Chandler scored a 32 foot dropkick to win the game by a score of 3 to 0. Chester vs. Suffolk After having scouted Chester during the Granby game, the Suffolk boys expected to have no trouble in stacking up an enormous score. They were very disappointed when a hard fighting Chester team, led by Captain Harry Southee, arrived with an entirely new formation and all new plays. Both teams put up a hard, clean fight to the end. Due to a continuous string of bad breaks. on part of the Maroons, Suffolk was victorious by a score of 12 to 0. Chester vs. Poquoson The newly organized team of Poquoson High School met the Chester Maroons on Greene Field. The Poquoson boys, because of the lack of playing experience, were literally walked over by the Maroons. Captain Ernest Gates led the Maroons to a 36 to 0 victory. Robert Tucker led the scoring with two touchdowns and Chandler, Stubbs, Goodloe, and Cogbill marked up one each. Chester vs. South Boston Tommy Snellings was elected Captain for the game with South Boston. Due to South Boston’s field being unfit to play on, the game was postponed and later cancelled. Therefore, the season ended with the Poquoson game. At the end of the season a vote was taken to elect the honorary captain of the year. This boy must have worked hard to keep a cooperative spirit among the players, and have put all he had in every play of the season. Above all he must have played clean, hard football. All this we found in Hillebrand Jones, honorary captain of the season. pee forty-five “The Retle ctor 88 CE eae eee eS oo OR sJUuTOd [40 Gp ee ee ae ee s,ydoesor “4S Sr 5 ee, PETE LOJSoyH OL ‘uve W Puaprsn asada ca eh aa a s,ydesor “46 Ol See eer he = 19480qD 6L ‘920d Tl ee ear A at RES a IleH osuery 6 ese es ee IdjsoyQ F ‘D0 Sl ee Re Pek UBITPOT PIN a aes ars aay 5 Td4JS0Uf-) 8G “AON 9 ra ak = ae aia a ae Oe Rd ae Ld {SVPOUB], je ae ie Ok ie et Ld4JSOUf) ST “AON 8 ae eee ee em SS Pn LIJSIYIUB]N, UN Sl a erate ree 10480) ie “AON ) O absense ft ae ee © ley esuery 0 ek cok es 194s9qQ Te “120 e@ RY TRC ASC 5 eee eae UBT OTP CC ee re el 1o4souqy) FE “WO Ce One vig St Se i ee IlWH osue1y Ch at hae SE ae L489) OL “PO ‘HTOGHHOS WO TTOSHY YON) ce sas a NOSUTGNAR, WNGW SSITY 4IdDUD I JUDISISS aondg “MM INNY 4ad DUD SS PPD PS VAIN TV d WLOGSO YIOGVS[H Itqs0p AournN SHLOLILSaNs OMOTT BILOU.LO ) LOYSty ALepy :Sp.rens ALISaVA FAS AAV] UND1G0)) ee ae ae Io[jng Ius9{[O oudoy) oure e0[pooy ouuy UIJABYL VSO SPABMLO x Sea S r J he G Gils Bashethed] 2 aa i “eRe oe aaa e gant we oe pene The next game was played on October 24th with Midlothiaw®6n our own court. Although our girls fought hard for the victory, the final whistle was blown with a 27 to 23 score in Midlothian’s favor. Our girls’ basketball team, which was organized early i der the direction of Miss Edna Henderson, opened the sea at the fair—having as our opponents Grange Hall. We won 6 score. ta On October 31st our team again defeated Grange Hall by a 16 to 6 score. Our girls next met Manchester on November 7th on their court and came back with a 17 to 8 victory. We played and again defeated Man- chester on November 18th—the score being 7 to 6. Midlothian defeated Chester a second time on November 28th—a 15 to 10 loss. The team’s season was ended within the county in a game with Grange Hall. We came out on top with a 19 to 1 score. Two night games were scheduled with the St. Joseph’s girls in Peters- burg. Chester, working hard for a 16 to 10 score, was victorious on De- cember 19th. However, the tables were turned on us on January 10 when St. Joseph handed us a 9 to 6 defeat, ending the ’40-41 season. We had a very succesful year—losing only three games out of the nine played. Cornelia Low was elected captain. Mary Sue Palmer was manager with Anne Watkins Bruce assisting her. We owe much of our success to Miss Edna Henderson, who worked long and hard coaching our girls. At the end of the season monograms were awarded by the coach to the following girls: Nancy Cogbill, Olene Butler, Elsabeth Osborn, and Ethel Birdsong. Stars, which are given to girls who have already received letters, were presented to Jane Goyne, Rose Martin, Anne Goodloe, Cornelia Lowe, and Mary Fisher. itty eee mieten hee Vector puvlysy [ley osuey L94soyy UBTYPOTPINL 19489 UD U2eTTV WT) 1O}SOPOUBI Ld4soyy 1948oUO 194S8oq—) : 00BTq u104¢D072)——-— DUILBIUS Vane SIRE LCT Ce eae 0g AVIV MVHRoSUEl aero ur i ae sree eT AVN Ij] SOTO C ee eee ar ee ee F g AVI ACE LOT DUNG aie Gene er ie G ABI DGETUS Va aeere ae ae ee 7-6 [LIdy ALOT Walco |) oe eae eee anne cr rina GZ [Lady Lo Tso UOU 2 is aie ses care cere a aama ae [lady WEL TOT DLA ae ene ee aka ie Mine LT [tady UOT Wig tLo (2) ape aman a ene oa § [lady (ARR SR, Skene AHS poe a FP [udy :juou0ddg :048q SGHNVS WO HINGHHOS -------------- YATGNVHD AAHLAT 493 DUD JY eee on UF zee i S104, BAA AUTO (?

In March the club had the opportunity of hearing the famous West- minster Choir which was inspiring and proved quite advantageous. Dur- ing the year the club sang for various entertainments in and out of school. From the music festival they brought back honors and commendable rat- ings.

That is the question that every young man faces as the time draws near for him to enter the business world. 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 fundamental 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.
