IV MEMOREAM RUTH NELL CURTIS December 26, 1924 February 19, 1944 21 CLASS HISTORY It was the night before graduation and I was very ner- vous. I was so excited that I could not sleep. As I was ly- ing there, my mind wandered back, to my first high school days. It was September, 1940, when I enrolled at Chester as a freshman along with many other pupils. We were all very proud to think that we were now freshmen, but we were also scared nearly to death. We were all classmates, yet strangers. Many of us had never seen each other before. The building seemed so large and everything was very strange. The other pupils must have had a grand time watching us going around in a daze. With the help of our sponsors, Mr. Orcutt, Mr. Bailey, Mr. Britton, and Miss MacDonald we soon became well acquainted with our new surroundings and work. Our Freshman year passed very quickly and the following fall we came back to Chester as Sophomores. ‘The class was somewhat smaller this year than it was the year before. “The sponsors of our class were Miss Pickhardt, Miss Daughtrey, Miss Sanford, and Miss Williams. As Sophomores we moved into a beautiful new building. We now began to take a more active part in school activities. This year our sports program was more extensive. As we had a gymnasium in our new building, we could now have a boys’ basketball team. In September 1942, we came back to Chester as Juniors. We felt quite happy and dignified as we were now upperclassmen. We learned that our school would no longer be called Chester, but that it was now Thomas Dale High School, named in honor of Sir Thomas Dale. Our sponsors were Miss Gray, Mrs. Grizzle, and Miss Scott. I don’t think that we will ever forget the day we put on our first play en- titled ‘““A Poor Married Man.” Mrs. Grizzle, our English teacher, directed it. It was a success from a financial as well as a dramatic standpoint. As a result of the play we were able to give to the school a sum of money to be used to improve the cafeteria. I suppose we will always remember our Class Day. “he boys came to school dressed in snappy-looking zoot-suits and the girls dressed as ridiculous as possi- ble. To climax a day of fun we presented a “jazz wedding. “é ” It was thoroughly enjoyed by all. In February the Juniors decided to get their school rings. As a standard ring had been adopted, there was no choosing to be done. Getting our rings in ‘Ohe Sher the junior year instead of the senior year broke an old custom that had been fol- lowed many years. In May we gave the Seniors a reception in the school gymnasium. ‘There was good music and refreshments which were enjoyed by everyone. After a pleasant summer vacation we returned to Thomas Dale High School as dignified Seniors. We found that many of our former classmates had joined the armed forces and that some had dropped out of school. Among those who entered the services were: Herbert Bartle, Paul Flexon, Howard Hobeck, and James Parnell. We are very sorry to say that one of our members, Nell Curtis, died. It is with deep sorrow that we think of he r passing: We have missed her very much. In what seemed like no time at all we had completed our first semester’s work and we were now beginning our last half-year in high school. In spite of the paper shortage and other obstacles we decided to publish an annual. Arline Wray and Preston Holmes were chosen editor-in-chief and business manager re- spectively. Miss Williams and Mr. Thompson were our faculty advisors. Our first task was to get advertisements from firms in the nearby cities so we could finance our book, which was named “The Reflector.” We are proud to say that with the cooperation of everyone we raised more money than had ever been raised to publish a Thomas Dale High School annual. The two leading salesmen were Jane Houchins and Frances Fischer. Then came a gala occasion, our Class Day. Everyone forgot his dignity when we dressed as Negroes and put on a minstrel show. What a sight we were with black faces and all types of clothes! ‘That is one day we will certainly re- member. Our last big undertaking in high school was our senior play. ‘The play was entitled, “The Scarecrow Creeps,” and as the name implies it was a mystery. It was different from any play given at this school in recent years and proved to be very successful. Miss Sanford directed the following cast: Kenneth Broehm, Robert Miller, Russell Jordan, Clarence Curtis, Jimmy Vaughan, Anne Hatcher, Ales Jackson, Jean Pickhardt, Mildred Dance, Betty Lyttle. Bob Bacon and Don- ald Fuller, under the supervision of Miss Mapp and Miss Gray, built a new stage set. ‘This the Seniors pass on to future classes for play productions. Now the time for graduation has come, an event that we have all looked for- ward to for eleven years. But now that we are ready to graduate, we think of the wonderful times we have had in school and of the many classmates and teach- ers we are leaving. As we go out into the world, some to the armed forces, some to colleges, and others into the business world, we will always cherish the mem- ories of our high school days. PRESTON HOLMES: eflector CLASS PROPHECY What year is this? What is my name? Where am I? Mumpbling these questions to startled passers-by, I stumble my way along the crowded sidewalk of a strange city. I’m not crazy. I haven't got that vacant look in my eye—don’t stare at me like that. All of a sudden my left foot and a discarded banana peel, one of nature’s deadliest booby traps, meet and I am soon in a violent back flip which isn’t quite completed. The pavement is hard, but my head is harder. I fall flat, but rise again with one sprain- ed eyebrow. As soon as my head stops spinning, I realize my memory has come back, or at least partially. It is the year 1974 and this is the metropolis of Chester, center of the uni- verse. A torn slip of paper in my pocket states my predicament. I have the deadliest of all diseases of the memory—MAMOCO-on-the-CACOCO. ‘There is only one medicine that can cure me. It is the last remaining ounce of ZIMZO- CODINE, owned by a great physician, whose name I’ve forgotten. My only clue is a letter in my pocket that hints that he or she used to be a fellow classmate of mine thirty years ago. Being a man of action and in a desperate situation, I im- mediately set about locating such a fellow intellect of former years. Who is it? This question haunts me night and day. I must find him. I’m too young to spend the rest of my life as a man with forgotten memories. Ah! But don’t feel sorry for me, I know [I shall find him. It is 9 o’clock in the morning as I start out on my search. I start at this time because I am a firm believer in punctuality and thus, with my toothbrush and a 1944 Reflector, my crusade is launched. I hardly take five or twenty steps when I decide to buy a newspaper. I sit down on the curb and leaf through the contents of the paper. A familiar name soon catches my eye and I discover it is that of Ken Broehm, our new ambassador to North Carolina. I remember how Ken always was interested in world affairs. On the financial page I see that Betty Lou Carnahan, that cute dish who owned the China Shop, went broke. The Nobel prize has been awarded to Penelope Lingan for taking the wrinkles out of prunes. I next notice that Harry Dunbar is now a corporal. He joined the army thirty years ago to release a Wac on the home front. Putting the paper in my vest pocket I stroll down the sidewalk. In a fur- niture store window I see Clyde Carter asleep on a bed. He is a mattress tester now. A large sign board says that Jean Pickhardt and Ruby Williams, lady wrestlers, are having a bout tonight at Chester Square Gardens. “hex Reflector 23 As the sun mounts into the heavens, I decide to drop into the United Men’s Club where gossip usually falls thick and heavy. As I listen, I hear that Pres- ton Holmes who spent twenty-four years at Annapolis is now captain of the Staten Island Ferry. Jean Atkinson chases runs at the Cosy Hosiery Company and Lu- cille Brewer is the tracer of lost soles at a shoe factory. Lawrence Klebert is a salesman selling bathing suits to Eskimos. Jane Houchins fills droopy bags with feathers for Arabs who ride double-humped camels. I next hear that Elmer Burnham nearly starved to death winning a six-day motorcycle race when his mechanic, Richard Douglas, jammed the motor and it wouldn’t stop. Marion Grantham runs a salted peanut stand in the middle of the Gobi Desert. Lottie Curtis has written a book entitled “How to Remove Ink Spots From Blotters” and Rebecca Applewhite is the author of a new comic book creation “Banana Man.” Mr. and Mrs. Vernelle Curtis, Jr., are having their second honeymoon; the first one didn’t take I guess. I meander to the lounge where I hear more news of my successful classmates. Edith Wilson tests elevated shoes for people who want to walk on air with their heads in the clouds. Playboy Jimmy Vaughan’s hat was found floating out of the deserted tunnel of love in which he has been missing for thirty years. His former crony, Billy Walker, is safety supervisor on a firing squad and Frances Elliot is a recreational supervisor at a home for disabled silkworms. Armaine Clarke operates a button crusher at the Squish, Squash Laundry. Violet ‘Thom- ason is an interior decorator for bees; her slogan is ‘“‘a beautiful hive in which to strive.” Katherine James is a tatoo artist; her masterpiece is a knot hole on a baseball park fence. I hear that Fred Foster, a missionary to Borneo, is still try- ing to make the cannibals vegetarians but the fire is getting hotter. Lucille Long- mire is now a pig bristle plucker at the Merry Molar Toothbrush Company and Ales Jackson is a mermaid, the Belle of Davy Jones’ Locker no less. Grace Mc- Kay used to assort nuts for Planter’s Peanuts but now she assorts nuts for the in- sane asylum. Someone mentioned that William Petway lost a lot of money bet- ting on the turtle race. Realizing I’ll never find that ounce of ZIMZOCODINE by just. sitting around, I walk down the street again. I pass the school that absent-minded architect Russell Jordan designed upside down. I also see the flea circus run by Ruth Martin at the corner of Einswine and Vine. In a bakery I see Jean Walters filling creampuffs with a grease gun and she tells me that Beatrice Langster works for the Post Office Department creating new flavors for the glue on stamps. Frances Fischer is a dietician at the Washington Zoo in the snake division and Doris Parham tends the water fountain at the airport. Jacquelyn Jones teaches slang at Chester University and Eula Osborne plays the electric Jew’s Harp for the Paris Symphony. But where is that doctor I’m looking for? At a tobacco store I find that Elizabeth Spiers is the chief pipe fitter. Frances Vaughan is hostess of the Tin Canteen while I find that Roy Thomas just got his wings as a high altitude elevator operator. He just soloed with oxygen at the TPE eflector 24 25 hundredth floor of one of Chester’s skyscrapers. Harriet Bush is now head of the complaint department in Sing Sing and Eleanor Cochran is head of the Bureau of Vital Statistics on a guinea pig farm. I next see Bettie Lyttle modeling Webster cigars. Eddie Goyne is a big railroad man now. He is a track polisher. In a drug store a lovely aroma greets me and I find it is a per- created by Beverley McLeod and Sarah ’ fume called “Violets and Limberger’ Hanchey. Pausing at the fashionabhle Waldorf-Castoria I notice that Lena Smith tends a hot dog grill in its lobby. There I hear that Senator Donald Fuller keeps in practice for his filibusters by having a part time job as glassblower. As the sun sinks below the horizon and I wend my way wearily home, I see Doris Wilkerson, a soup ladler, setting up business at the Automat. In a store window I notice some suspenders designed by Arline Wray. She designed them for snakes because a snake’s belt slips since it has no hips. As I approach my apartment, I hear music. It is Dickie Quaill, a swoon crooner on the Salvation Army Glee Club. Discouraged and tired in the solitude of my room I turn on the radio. I hear Mildred Critcher as “John’s Other Wife” and Bob Bacon has taken Raymond’s place on Inner Sanctum. ‘The Super Suds Choir now con- sists of Connie Curtis, Ann Hatcher, and Mildred Dance. ‘Tonight’s expert on “It Pays to be Ignorant” is Corine Boller. As darkness settles, I see Marie Williams replacing burnt out light bulbs in the city streets and I ease back in my chair. I now realize I have seen everyone of my former classmates, busy and happy, and in the brief span of—of—let’s see— I’ve forgotten. I’ve forgotten everything. I don’t even know what I have been looking for. Thus with my mind a total blank, Iam content and happy and settle back and wait for eternity.

At the time, we had no idea that football, baseball, and girls’ basketball would ever be omitted from our school activities. “This, however, is now the case, due to a situation be- yond our control. Conditions now are very different. We are at war. We understand this. War brings changes and sacrifices. Last year our varsity coach was Mr. Roy Tucker, who is now serving in the United States Navy. Mr. ‘Thompson, our principal, tried desperately to obtain a varsity coach, but this was impossible because of the present crisis. In spite of the fact that we have had no athletic coach, we, nevertheless, managed to have a boys’ basketball team. This basketball team was coached by one of our teachers, Miss Hudson, who so kindly agreed to organize a team. She did a splendid job, and I know the boys are very grateful to her for her fine coaching, as well as her patience, friend- ship, and clear understanding. Although we were disappointed over the loss of our usual varsity athletic schedule, we were somewhat encouraged by a physical education program which was organized. ‘This was intended to help build strong healthy, American youths. It has proved to be very valuable. In each physical education class body-strengthening exercises and stunts were given, including hand stands, fire- man’s carry, knee walk, back breaker, forward roll, frog stand, and hand spring. The tests given served as measuring rods to show progress. An obstacle course was constructed on our school grounds. This helped the boys in building up endurance, agility, and co-ordination. Also, there has been a school-wide intra- mural program for both boys and girls in volleyball, basketball, football, and baseball. We sincerely hope that it will be possible next year to secure a full-time ath- letic director, and that thereby we may be able to have again our former varsity teams. I feel sure that there will be a promising group of students willing to take an active part. “dhe Ketle ctor 38 ELIZABETH HUDSON 39 Boys’ Basketball Miss ELIZABETH HubDSON Coach BOB MILLER ee hee hes eee en 2 ee ee Co-Captain DICKY CUNNINGHAIM( a: = teseeee tice. seis eon © neers oe ene ree eee Co-Captain JERRY.

The magnetic attraction of our splendid gymnasium was too much to resist and thus, in spite of the transportation problem and the unskilled but neverthe- less, eager players, Thomas Dale High sponsored boys’ basketball for its third consecutive year. Due to the absence of a male coach, Miss Hudson courageous: ly answered the plea of the boys that were interested in basketball and success- fully filled the coaching position. At the beginning of the season there were enough recruits for three teams but gradually this group was narrowed down to twelve players. As practice continued and as the first game approached, James Scott, Fred Holloway, Dick Cunningham, Bob Bacon, and Bob Miller were se- lected as the varsity team. On January 7, Thomas Dale High was the host of the team of Varina High. In this game our Maroons displayed remarkable ability. Varina led at the be- ginning but soon the valiant Maroons had equalled and excelled their score. The unerring aim of “Scotty” and Dick Cunningham predominated the Maroons’ scoring. However, possibly due to our over-confidence and Varina’s power, the game ended in a defeat for Thomas Dale with the score of 30-24. The “B” squad of Petersburg High were the next guests of the Maroons on January 9. Our brave team trotted out onto the floor with its conscience still burning from its recent defeat. But the Maroons had learned their lesson well and when the horn blew at the game’s close we were victorious, 29-17. On January 14 and January 19 the squad went on the road to play return games with Varina and Petersburg respectively. Intent upon defeating Varina the Maroons fought desperately and at the half were ahead by a slight margin. During the latter half of the game, the tactics, though not the spirit, of the Ma- roons collapsed and Varina scored a gain by winning 25-22. As guests of Pet- ersburg the second squad of ‘Thomas Dale upheld its rigid qualities by battling the Petersburg team during the first half 11-10 in the latter’s favor. In the last half of the game, the varsity squad of the Maroons took over but in the end they had only equalled the second string’s ability and Petersburg won 21-20. As the hosts of Highland Springs on January 26, the Maroons for the sec- ond time emerged victorious. When the stop-watch finally came to a halt, the Maroons had been successful with a score of 23-18. One of the highlights of the season was on February | when Thomas Dale visited Benedictine. Inspired by the record of the Cadets, our Marons were highly confident. It soon was apparent that the Maroons just couldn’t equal the skill of their class A opponents and Benedictine was victorious 42-25. On February 11 our squad travelled to Highland Springs. This game was considered the best of the season. At the half, Highland Springs occupied the lead position, but Miss Hudson suggested a formation that was the key to our success. In the last half a new defense was formed and goals were soon made in rapid succession. When the game ended, the Maroons were victorious 35-30. “Scotty’”” made most of our points but it was only through precise teamwork. The final game of the season was played at Chester with Benedictine. Our mighty Maroons fought as was expected, but we suffered a severe defeat. The Cadets of Benedictine emerged victors with a score of 36-10. In recognition of their part in the 1944 basketball season, the following play- ers received monograms: Bob Bacon, Dick Cunningham, Clarence Curtis, Fred Holloway, Bob Miller, James Scott, and Jerry Wadkins.

In normal times it was not impos- sible to obtain sufhcient manpower to control forest fires. There were usually unemployed groups; and such groups as the CCC and WPA have been available. For nine years the CCC functioned splendidly as a second line of defense. But times are no longer normal. ‘The CCC is gone and most of the civilians former- ly available are either in armed forces or working in war industries. The nor- mal hazards of forest fires are now coupled with the danger of sabotage, and the importance of forest fire control in war time is vastly increasing. To meet this situation, the Forest Fire Fighting Service has been organized as one of the basic Civilian Defense Groups. ‘This, like all the Civilian Defense Groups, is nation-wide and boys all over the country, as here at Thomas Dale, are answer- ing the call to help protect our forests. Here at Thomas Dale the Forest Fire Fighting Service group was organ- ized by State Forester Dale and we were trained by Chief A. L. Smith, local for- est fire warden, with the cooperation of Mr. F. D. Eastham, of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. Our training consisted of numerous lectures by these men on the basic principles of forest fire fighting and safety. We also took several field trips to practice as a unit in all kinds of woods, brush and broom sage where we will probably have to fight fires. We are subject to call at all times, even during school hours and holidays. We are equipped and transported by the state and county fighte1s when we are on active duty. Thus we are organized into an effic- ient unit to insure the safety of our property from destruction by forest fires. “The Reflector 44 45 Commercial Chub OFFICERS DSU CILE De DREW C Ree: ee tees eke weeny scr et ge eee President BEE ANORMGOCH RAN garetts 0 bk.
