We cannot pterce the veil which hides, Our futures from our sight; The joys and griefs of coming years, Are hidden from us quite. How well we know that you have watched, Youth’s happiness and tears, We thank you who have sheltered us, Throughout our high school years. And what you gave us we shall use, Though how, we do not know, High school, who watched through tender years, Your children come and go. There comes a sadness in our hearts, When we must say good-bye, Our gratitude and love we give, God Dies.) Og ate) wl leg BARBARA DAUGHTREY. Senior Honor Students Top Row, Left to Right Dorothy Dunford Marjorie Frederick Jerry Hynst Doris Jacobs Catherine Curtis Bottom Row, Left to Right Jean Motto Betty Lou Farrow Ralph Wray Stuart Holmes Edith Williams Carol Humphries SE etlector Class History T LAST, we have reached the goal for which we have been striving. ‘Through the count- less hours of study and hard work, some of us may, at one time or another, have ques- tioned the worth of attaining this goal; but surely none of us now doubt the value of a high school education. We look back with mingled feelings over our four years at Thomas Dale. We are jubilant at the thought of leaving behind our schoolday toils and of moving on to higher fields of endeavor. It is, however, with a great sorrow that we leave the many friends we have made here in the past four years. With graduation now upon us and the time for our departure from Thomas Dale drawing near, our minds wander back to the fall of 43 when we enrolled as a proud and ambitious—but scared—Freshman Class. We were one hundred and fifty in number that bright September morning when we first en- rolled at Thomas Dale. ‘The fear that gripped us when we first entered our new school soon melted, and we settled down to a successful year’s work under the guidance of our sponsors, Miss Daughtrey, Miss Morrisey, Mrs. Clarke, and Mrs. Harwell. Class officers for this year were: Mary Jo Rogers, President; Jean Stewart, Vice-President; Stuart Holmes, Secretary; and Ralph Wray, ‘Treasurer. After a short but refreshing summer vacation, we returned to ‘Thomas Dale as Sophomores; that is, approximately ninety of us returned. It seemed that the remainder of us either had lost our ambition or had fallen into scholastic difficulties. Mary Jo Rogers was reelected President for this year; Mildred Hill won the vice-presidential nod, and Bob Picardat served as Secretary- Treasurer. We decided to have some fun during this usually dull year. With the as- sistance of our sponsors Miss Hudson, Mrs. Fulmer, and Mrs. Crump, we pre- pared for a party in the gymnasium. At this party, we played games of all types, danced, and enjoyed tasty refreshments. Summer vacation and we were back to the old grind! We, who were one hundred and fifty in number two years ago, had now dwindled to approximately seventy-five, but what we may have lacked in quantity, we more than made up in pride, dignity, and replenished ambition; for now our goal was much, much nearer. As sponsors for this eventful year we had Mrs. Smart and Mrs. Casey. The class officers who were elected early in the year were: President, Stuart Holmes; Vice-President, Nelson Bennett; Secretary, Eugene McCook, and ‘Treasurer, Ernest Eastnfan. Two of the year’s major occurences were the Junior-Senior Reception and the Junior Play. An excellent cast was selected by Mrs. Casey and Mrs. Smart, her erlector and after weeks of practice we presented, “The Bargain Bride’, one of the most successful plays ever given by ‘Thomas Dale students. “The play was directed by Mrs. Faye Casey. The Junior-Senior Reception, given in the early spring, was an outstanding event featuring music by a local orchestra and tempting refreshments . The twenty-five couples who participated in the figure, directed by Mrs. Brumble, did an excellent job. Due to the paper shortage, the school newspaper, the ‘T. D. Sentry, was dis- continued during the war. With conditions improved, however, and paper more plentiful, we undertook again to print a school paper. ‘The name Junior Journal, was chosen as the title of the new publication, and the staff was headed by three faculty sponsors, Miss Chappell, Mrs. Brumble, and Mrs. Casey. The student heads were Editor-in-Chief, Stuart Holmes, and Business Manager, Eugene McCook. After three months of the balmy summer sun, the beach, and many gala events, we returned to ‘Thomas Dale as dignified Seniors. “The very capable sponsors for this dignified group were Misses Williams and Park. Stuart Holmes and Nelson Bennett were reelected as President and Vice-President, respectively; Ernest Eastman was chosen Secretary, and Marie Birdsong was elected ‘Treasurer. One of the outstanding extra-curricular activities of this year was the Junior- Senior Reception, which was given by the Juniors on March 14, in honor of the Seniors, under the supervision of Miss Spencer, Mrs. Smart and Mrs. Casey. The entire reception was a delightful affair—with the music of the Southern Serenaders, the figure, which was again directed by Mrs. Brumble, and the de- licious refreshments. Another stellar presentation of the year was the Senior Play. Presented under the direction of Miss Daisy May Park, the play entitled,. “Almost Eighteen’, starred Eugene McCook. In addition to being a great dramatic suc- cess, the play was the most profitable one in the history of the school. Under the faculty advisorship of Miss Williams and Mr. ‘Thompson, we de- cided again to print a yearbook, The Reflector. Advertising was solicited from firms in neighboring cities, as well as in the village, and this money was used to finance the book. ‘The staff heads were Betty Lou Farrow and Barbara Daughtrey, Editors-in-Chief, and Eu gene McCook, Business Manager. And now—as the hour of graduation approaches—we realize that the goal which we began striving for four years ago, is really no goal at all. It is, instead, a stepping stone to bigger and better things for our future. With this thought before us and with appreciation toward the faculty and others who have done so much to give us a solid foundation upon which to build, we bid our friends, teachers, principal, and school a fond farweell. STUART HOLMEs, Historian. “The Reflector lass Prophecy HURRIEDLY fasten my new hat on my graying hair and survey the results in the mirror. I wince slightly as I think of the price I paid for this newest creation of the world famous milliner, Ann Boyd. But it has been so long since I have spent the sparse profits from my candy shop on any luxury and I do need a new hat for the Thomas Dale Alumni Meeting of 1977. All of my famous classmates will be there and I would not want them to think that I am a failure. I walk rapidly to the Hotel Chester where the meeting is to be held and I enter the crowded lobby. ‘There, greeting everyone, is Dr. Nelson Bennett, well- known Richmond minister, and with him is the President of the United States, Stuart Holmes, who left Washington to run its own business while he came to the meeting. Coming toward me is Clara Bury who just won the “Miss Chester” title for the tenth consecutive time and with her is Eugene McCook, Centralia’s Am- bassador to Chester. Eugene and the popular Congressman Lemuel Grammar are attempting to start a Good-Neighbor Policy between Chester and Centralia. Seated in the lobby, I see Jimmy Moorefield and Shirley Clarke, famous in- ventors of the Clarkefield Comfort Chair which can be adjusted to any relaxing position. Could the eccentric millionaire the crowd is talking about be “Dumbo” Neatrour? ‘They say he lights his cigars with million dollar bills. Peggy Cogbill and Julia Palmer, missionaries to Piney Branch, have just arrived. My, they look just as young as they did when we were in school. Why, look who is sitting across from me! It is Mr. and Mrs. Mickey Curtis. Someone said that Betty Lou gave up an opportunity to run for the Chester Senate to become Mrs. Curtis. Speaking of Curtis’s, I hear that Catherine Curtis has made millions off her new book, “Silence is Golden”’. Oh, here comes the famous Hollywood director, Ernest Eastman, with all of my classmates whose pictures he directs. George Carnahan, the greatest screen lover since Valentino, is accompanied by his enchanting co-star, Alice Chenery, whom her fans, have nick-named “The Gasp”. I remember their last picture, “A Bush Grows in Chester’. It was simply wonderful. William Bottoms played the part of the villian and Jimmy Woolard was the kind uncle. Another ex- cellent picture was “A Journey For Herkimer” starring the child prodigy, “Chip” Warthan, youngest son of Mrs. Vivian Sasser Warthan. ‘There are some stunt girls with Ernest too—Frances Judd, Eileen Wilson, and Carol Humphries. ‘Their agility is due, no doubt, to basketball practice in their school days. Here comes the charming Anne Gallier. Anne, much to the amazement of all of us, followed the teaching profession and she is now a mathematics in- “The Reflector. structor at Thomas Dale High School. Someone said that Anne became so at- tached to math in her high school days that she just could not give it up. Here comes “Deedle’”” Hill whom I have not seen in years. I heard that she was back in Chester to receive her M.R.S. degree. The president of our Alumni Society, Kaki Mi tchell, who has just com- pleted her 30th post-graduate course at Thomas Dale, is announcing that dinner is served. As we go into the dining room, I see four of the instructors from Columbia University who were in school with me. ‘They are Georgia Payton, Doris Jacobs, Edith Williams, and Ralph Wray—true scholars, these four. Sam Wall, the millionaire playboy, is seated at the table with me. Sam sbows me the pills he takes for his acid stomach. “They are manufactured by the Zimmerman-Womack Company. I never thought that Floyd and Kenneth would have such a prosperous business. Fendall Vaughan, famous Broadway actor. is here with Joanne Baylis, who stars with him in the new Broadway hit, ““The Ice Man Wenteth’, which was written by Jack Flippo, our modern Shakespeare. Jerry Hynst and Joe Davis are seated next to my table. Jerry is coaching his twentieth year at Thomas Dale and Joe has been principal for fifteen years. Marjorie Frederick and Jean Motto, style models for the renowned stylist, Earl Dale, are sitting with Jerry and Joe. Martha Zappulla and Janet Pence have a radio show over Station S-L-U-R-P called “Ingrid Igglestine’s In-Laws.” I listen to it every day in the candy shop. Bobby Picardat, who teaches art in Richmond, is still mourning over the loss of his assistant, Marie Birdsong, although it has been ten years since she left him to marry her childhood sweetheart. Dorothy Dunford and Dorothy Donohue, famous dancing team, entertain us with some of the numbers from their newest show, “Till the Clouds Come Over.” Ann Dodge has with her a manuscript of the book she is writing. It is en- titled “Government Made Easy”, and it really is quite interesting. Anne plans to send it to the Sherman-Cersley Publishing Company owned by Jean Sherman and Kathleen Cersley. Jack Williams, Chester barber, tells me that Charles Minetree is caterer for this Alumni dinner with the help of Louise Penny, noted dietician. Marvin Foster and Carl Chandler, inventors who have, for years, been trying to improve on Edison’s electric light tell me that they have discovered a sensa- tional process of burning water in worn-out light bulbs. A far cry from Edison's genius, I should say! Physicist Nancy Ellison is going to give a speech on “The Value of Motors” at the Chester Mosque tomorrow night. Oh, here are the last entertainers on the program—Why, it’s Marie Allen and Wesley Perkinson giving impersonations of the 1947 ‘Thomas Dale Faculty. Once more, with pleasant memories of old and dear friendships still fresh in my mind, I turn in at the door of my candy shop. In the back where I have my rooms, I remove my lovely hat, but I do not wince this time, for it is now as much a part of me as are the day’s memories.

new emblem was awarded at Thomas Dale in the spring of 1947. ‘This was the shield bearing a flaming torch flanked by the letters, “I'D, the proud symbol of the Point System. For years a way was sought whereby all worthwhile achievements in the various school activities could be recognized. During the 1945 session, the plan was organized, approved, and put into operation by the student body and the faculty. The Point System adopted gives such recognition to all phases of school life and service. A certain number of points has been designated each school office and activity, ranging from the class officer earning certification of the sponsors for his efficiency to the individual earning points for his scholarship and conduct. The plan operates on a semester basis with awards made each January and June. ‘Those pupils under the four year plan qualify when they have attained seventy-five points; the five year pupils must earn ninety points to receive this emblem of honor.

Wo aye Football... OOTBALL was started on the first of September under the direction of Mr. Howard L. Hollingsworth from Clinton, ‘Tennessee. His high school days were spent at Clinton High School. After finishing high school he entered Tennessee Wesleyan College. It was here he played football as fullback. “Then he transferrd to William and Mary where he played football for the Indians two years. After graduation he was assistant coach at Suffolk High School until the outbreak of the war interrupted his career. He enlisted in the Navy where he spent three years on the U.S.S. Nevada, receiving his discharge in 1945. For three weeks the inexperienced, light squad worked hard looking forward to their first game. ‘The varsity line for most of the year was as follows: Martin, Zimmerman, ends; Austin, Moore, tackles; Carnahan, Neatrour, guards; and Bishop, center. In the backfield were McCook, quarterback; Hynst, H. Bennett, haltbacks; and Bailey, fullback. “The team elected Bai’ey and Zimmerman co- captains. On September 27th our Maroons met Varina here. ‘Iwo sustained marches by McCook and Bailey plus able support by the team resulted in a 57-0 triumph, with Coach Hollingsworth putting in everybody except the manager in an at- tempt to hold down the score. The following week the Blackstone eleven overpowered the confident Thomas Dale team 33-0. After this defeat our coach put us through a week of hard practice to pre- pare us for a home game with Farmville. We showed great improvement and came off the field with a 0-0 draw. ‘The Maroons traveled next to Highland Springs where they put on what probably was their best gridiron performance of the season in spite of a 13-0 score in favor of their opponents. We looked forward to the next game with Glen Allen, an old rival, but the Panthers simply had too much power for our team, and we were defeated by a 48-0 score, thereby contributing to their 26th victory. In the Glen Allen game we lost three of our backfield: players—Bailey, with a broken collar bone; McCook, with a broken wrist; and H. Bennett, with flu. As a result of these injuries we were not able to present the necessary strength at Fredericksburg thereby losing on November 2nd, 28-0. ‘The Maroons gained their second victory of the season over Kenbridge on their home field a week later scoring in each quarter. Kenbridge scored her Jone tally in the fourth quarter. Since we had failed to score in the five pre- ceding games, we were out for a victory this time and we came olf the field with a 46-6 win. Our last game was with Manchester, an old rival. Due to loss of our first string backs the Maroons didn’t have enough power to win although they played a great game with Robert Bradley receiving praise for his fine playing. A dazzling gallop by Manchester was responsible for a 12-6 score in their favor. “She ete ctor PLAYERS Forwards Edith Merritt Frances Judd Betty Lou Farrow Dorien Merritt Emily Blick Guards Barbara Ellison gnes Temple Anne Rocke Carol Humphries Barbara Humphries Betty Jo Moses Ola Mae Ellison Edith Alice Chenery Miss Ellen Conyers Merritt ‘Thomas ‘Thomas ‘Thomas ‘Thomas ‘Thomas ‘Thomas ‘Thomas ‘homas ‘Thomas ‘Thomas ‘Thomas ‘Thomas ‘Thomas ‘Thomas “The Reflector Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale Dale DUKE Dales Dale Dale Dale Dale Captain Manager Coach SCHEDULE . 14 Midlothian . 17 Saint Joseph’s 10 Manchester . 33 Highland Springs . 16 NY Petersburg Spl Midlothian . 46 Ashland ......

Under the guidance of Miss Ellen Conyers, they spent hours mastering the technique of ball control and learning to direct their shots so that the ball would go into the basket. It was not long before the girls on the team realized that Coach Conyers ex- pected them to take this sport seriously. The proverbial triangle was soon discovered in the midst of our girls’ team. It seems that a close association developed between the ball, the goal, and the forwards, Edith Merritt and Frances Judd. ‘The result of this close association was that “Edie’’, one of the team’s fastest forwards, had 111 points to her credit at the end of the season, and Frances was close behind her with 85 points. Other fast-playing girls on the team who often gained the applause of the spectators were: Betty Lou Farrow, Dorien Merritt, and Emily Blick. ‘he splen- did close guarding of Betty Jo Moses, Agnes ‘Temple, Carol Humphries, Ann Rocke and Barbara Ellison helped greatly in winning laurels for the team. All girls who were a part of this year’s squad deserve recognition. Even though some of them played in very few games, their training may make them basketball stars of the future. Betty Lou Farrow, Carol Humphries, and Frances Judd, who graduate this year, will be a great loss to the team. However, those girls who have learned by this year’s experience to handle the ball successfully will carry on for them and fight valiantly in the games for good old ‘T. D. The girls who received monograms were: Frances Judd, Agnes ‘Temple, Betty Lou Farrow, Betty Jo Moses, and Alice Chenery, manager. “Those who re- ceived stars were: Edith Merritt, Dorien Merritt, Ann Rocke, Carol Humphries, and Barbara Ellison. With a record of ten wins, one tie, and three losses, our girls closed one of the most successful seasons in the history of ‘Thomas Dale High School. me TOP. eflector BieHIeRE Nelson Bennett Captain Charles Neatrour Manager Edgar Gilbert Manager Mi EL Owar Ga Et Olin 2S W.0 1 Un eee eee ee re Coach SQUAD INGOT IXSMMET oe ee Forward Jimmy Moorefield ......................

N THE midst of our hearty congratulations to the 1947 basketball team, many of us took time out to laugh at the doubts which we had con- cerning the success of our team earlier in the season. Our slow be- ginning made it just a little harder for us to pound our chests and say proudly, ““That’s our team!” But those of us who followed the team closely noticed that game by game our team played with more skill and determination. Our coach, Howard Hollingsworth, was shaping the players into the finest team of basket- ball players in the history of Thomas Dale. About mid-season, the team, which was now piling up hard-won victories, was beginning to look like championship material. We began to hear very fay- orable comments from offcials and spectators. “The Chester cagers were out for glory! The night we tock Glen Allen, spectators went home joyful, nervous wrecks, and our boys received the extra assurance which they needed. ‘This vic- tory removed all doubt that the Thomas Dale basketball team was not of tourna- ment caliber. Our victory over Manchester confirmed the Glen Allen victory. In order to qualify for the tournament, three consecutive games were played immediately preceding the great event. Our hearts were with our team and they rewarded our faith by playing the most exciting games of the season. ‘The tournament and the three preceding games required that our boys play six con- secutive games and our ““Vireless ‘Vornadoes’” swept across the hardwood with a vigor that filled us with pride. It was a proud and unforgettable moment for us when our team was presented with the Championship ‘Trophy which re- vealed to all the fact that most of us knew all along... that Thomas Dale really had a sensational team! ‘The Thomas Dale five were very determined to bring home the trophy for the District I] Championship. “The competition was stiff and it was a hard fight, but the Maroons came through with flying colors! When we finally thought the end of basketball season had come and we could return to our school books, Cradock, the District I Champions, challenged our team to a game which would put the winners in the State Championship Tournament. Our victory over Cradock was the hardest fight of the season, but the team’s spirit and will to win gained for them the control of the backboards in the last quarter. The first State Championship game found us completely outclassed by our competitor, Norton; but our boys gave them a hard fight to the last whistle and, regardless of the outcome, the boys made a fine showing. The consolation game with Farmville was close, but luck was with the other team that night. Jerry Hynst’s dependability and never-say-die spirit were as vital as the nuim- ber of baskets made by our fighting forward Nelson Bennett. Nelson always seemed to streak down the floor through any opposition and sink the ball in the net for two more points. Bob Askew, who improved more than any other team member, played his most memorable game with Glen Allen when he sank the winning shot. “Clebo”” Martin, whose height was a liability at times as well as INET eflector an asset, gave the opposition a hard time all season. Herbert Bennett was Nel- son’s other half in more ways than one. ‘They were great teammates and both of them did a magnificent job. Jimmy Moorefield, a member of the second team, showed great promise earlier in the season and he found himself definitely in the limelight in the later games. His excellent playing helped us in securing many of our victories. Our outstanding players received the praise which they so completely de- served. At Randolph Macon, Nelson Bennett was chosen the most valuable player in the tournament. Bob Askew and Nelson were chosen for the All Star team. Both of these boys were also selected for the second team in the State ‘Tournament. Jerry Hynst was presented with an individual trophy which ex- pressed our feelings exactly. Jits inscription read, “Jerry Hynst—Who Played Fvery Minute of Every Game.” ‘This basketball season has benefitted us in so many ways. Not only has it ranked us highly in sports, but it has enriched the character of both the team members and the student body. It has taught us the lesson of loyalty, and it has brought the qualities of good sportsmanship and determination to the members of the team. To the members of the 1947 Basketball Squad we can only say, “We’re proud of you.” SEASON’S RECORD Pre-Tournament: plihiomash Lal ese ee ee 30: Se rAlum ni oes ee ee ee 22 eVbomas: Dale pee ee eee 4] Midlothian ae 6 Slhomast Dal eee eee eee Ale JOLT IM ATS a) eee ee 15 Ethomas =D) ales ee eee ee ee eee 31) Thomas; Jefferson ee 22. ak wcreeeet 29 eDOmase 1) ail Cope ne e eeee ee 24 Manchesteica ae eee eee 31 ECO ina sie D) ale eres ener ee 23m Le hanes PGS See 31 PPh OmasyiL) al Cae eee 5] WEN aUITAVELWOY VESTA ac ee 14 Wthomasg Dal cases see eee eee aee 300s JOD Tig Marsha |] ieee ee eeeeees 25 pehoOmiase |) alleen ere ene aa . 49 IM 110 tha Tiere eee a ee nee 23 MleKescit tom WEN ee yee et oe Ee 4? 9 Ashland: (eee ee eee 27 Pn Omasne) al Gaeeeee ers ere 36 Glen’ len e302 ee ee ee 30 ELL Omics yD) all Cees eens SOMME AST SCONE EA C1 yee 16 rOmiass)L) all epee ener ee ce eee eee een 50 Ashland 22 ce- s es poe ee 29 SChomasip Dales. eee ree eee 39 Manchest ci ee ee 35 Eom ash) all Cpe eee eee eee ee ean Galh URI MIEH AYO!
