JAKE WILLIAMS. “Yhe Reflector Class Histor HE MONTH of September, 1944 found us, a strange assortment of Freshmen, at ‘Thomas Dale High Schoo! glancing from seat to seat to see familiar faces inter- mingled with faces we had never seen before. For many weeks we had looked forward eagerly to our first high school day. When the time came, we proudly marched to the Freshmen homerooms which were under the direction of Miss Wright, Miss Prochazka, Mrs. Hunt, and Mrs. Cecil, later replaced by Mrs. Smart. Our class officers for this year were: Charles Fisher, President; Edith Merritt, Vice-President; Louise Wilbourne, Secretary; and Mac Cogbill, ‘Treasurer. After work- ing hard during this year, we welcomed a vacation of three months. After this vacation, we returned to Thomas Dale in the fall as Sophomores. Our sponsors were Miss Gooch, Mrs. Crump, and Miss Hudson. ‘This year we were not as enthusiastic about being in high school as we were the first year, but the months passed quickly and June was soon in sight. All of us had pleasant summer vacations. Some visited the sunny sea shores, while others visited the cool mountains. Of course, there were many industrious people who worked all summer. September came quickly, and school bells began to summon us back to our studies. “This year, with the loss, however, of a number of our former classmates, we entered ‘Thomas Dale as Juniors. Our faculty sponsors were Mrs. Smart, Mrs. Casey, and Miss Spencer. The Junior class officers were: Robert ‘Tait, President; Royall Bailey, Vice-President; Jake Williams, Treasurer; and Wilton Birdsong, Secretary. These officers did a splendid job in helping our class to succeed in its many undertakings. Our Junior year was one of the most interesting periods in school. One of the outstanding events which took place during this session was our class play, Yow ll Die Laughing, under the direction of Mrs. Faye Casey. After many days of practice, the following students gave a good performance: Florine Ammons, Robert Tait, Jake Williams, Cleveland Martin, Jerry Tunstall, Catherine Goyne, Fred Jouget, Marion Reid, Nell Brooks, ‘Theodocia Morris, Betty Jean Hitt, Ethel Johnson, and Randolph Kientz. Next, we prepared for the Junior-Senior Reception and on the day of the reception we worked very hard preparing refreshments and decorating the gym- nasium., ‘That evening the gymnasium was a beautiful sight with the soft lights falling on the lovely decorations and on the multicolored whirling gowns. ‘Thus ended another special event on our year’s calendar, Then, we planned a trip to Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. Afier days of waiting, our “tour day” arrived. We were highly excited as we climbed aboard the large buses. On this trip, we visited many historical sites in that area. Perhaps the most outstanding event of the year was the state honors which our basketball team won. Even though the season of 1947 started out with losses, it ended with many victories. Our classmates, Cleveland Martin, Kenneth Leech, ee erlector Robert Bradley, Royall Bailey, and Herbert Bennett, helped to achieve these honors. During this year, we also published the Junior Journal, which demanded more hard work. Days came and went, as days will do, and we had grown, we felt, in wisdom if not in stature. And at last came the hoped for, prayed for, dreamed of time— Senior year. After a carefree vacation, we eagerly entered school as dignified Seniors. Under the supervision of Miss Park and Miss Williams, we ac- complished many tasks. Our Senior officers, who were elected at the close of our Junior year, were: Royal Bailey, President; Cleveland Martin, Vice-President; Anne Rock, ‘Treasurer; and Wilton Birdsong, Secretary. During this year, we had difficulty in keeping a class president. After our president, Royall Bailey, transferred to another school, Cleveland Martin, our vice-president, became president, with Rodney Wells, vice-president. During the Christmas holidays, Cleveland Martin was married and Rodney Wells served as our president for the remainder of the year. Everyone had a delightful time at the reception given by the Tenth Grade in honor of the Senior Class, dancing to the delightful music of the Southern Serenaders’ Orchestra. The figure, in which members of both classes took part, was done beautifully. This year, many members of our class worked faithfully during the Curtis Campaign. Miss Park’s homeroom was in the lead with Jake Williams as head salesman. The point system, which was introduced in our Sophomore year, enabled us to see many Seniors wearing monograms before the end of the year. Robert Tait, Rodney Wells, Jake Williams, Jean Ann Bryant, Edith Merritt, Dorothy Adams, Nell Brooks, Wilton Birdsong, Jane Johnson, Roy Collie, and Albert Huband are the members of our class who are wearing the point system mono- grams now. This year Mrs. Betty Bibb Ware directed our class play, They Did Away With Uncle. Jake Williams, Albert Huband, Theodocia Morris, Robert Tait, Florine Ammons, Betty Jean Hitt, Connie Adams, Marion Reid, Marjorie Payton, Catherine Goyne, and Randolph Kientz gave an outstanding performance in this play. Later on in the year our Senior Class undertook the difficult task of editing the Reflector. With Miss Williams and Mr. Thompson as faculty advisors, we produced our cherished yearbook! So, as we come to the end of our sojourn here, it is with reluctance and sorrow that we take leave of the friends and pleasures we have shared. The inspiring words ‘“. . . Now, voyager, sail thou forth to seek and hayek by Walt Whitman, challenge advancement in our lives. We will go forth, but we shall often recall our happy days of training at Thomas Dale. : JANE JOHNSON, Class Historian. SOLVE etlector Class P rophecy .| ERHAPS you may think it strange that I, one of the world’s greatest circus acrobats and trapeze flyers, should in this year of 1970 be established and ordained a full-fledged angel up beyond the golden gates of heaven. But heed me, my friends, for these words I speak hold naught but truth, and it is with this truth that Iam able to cast my eyes on the whole of earth and its inhabitants. The terrific force by which I am now driven parts the white cloud upon which I sit, and permits my eyes to wander downward. I behold a great tower with five golden figures set atop it—yes, it is the famous ‘Tait University, established in honor of that great gentleman, Robert Tait, A.B., D.C., B.C., who so faithfully served his country through the invention of the world’s most lasting and deadly rat poison, the “Pansy”. Upon peering more intently, I discover that there are not five but four golden figures perched upon the tower. ‘The fifth figure is that of Jerry Tunstall in person who is busy shining the remaining four. I now rearrange my halo, thus causing my cloud to float swiftly eastward until I behold the capital of the United States. Seated in his new Deisel heli- copter, which runs on the power generated by a piece of bubble gum, and which was invented by Fred Jouget, is the President of the United States, Rodney Wells, At the wheel of this contraption is the pompous figure of the President’s chauffeur, Donald Johnson. Donald obtained this coveted position through the recommendation of Geraldine Hadder, the late Duchess of Bellwood Manor. But this is enough of the capital, so let’s travel to the city of New York. Waverly Martin’s newly invented twenty-eight-way stretch rubber girdle has created a minor sensation in spite of the fact that seamstresses, Dorothy Gay and Ramona Kelly, claim it takes more rubber to make than a raft. It is here that I also behold Florine Ammons and Mary Jane Jackson, sensational dancers in the Leech Club. Their arrangement of The Lost Chord vs. The Last Dance was a smashing success in more ways than one! Let’s pass on to the Museum of Fine Arts and take a look at Harold Jinkins’ latest surrealistic creation, commonly called “Halli-Tosis’. It consists of a clothes-pin with two frog legs and half an eye on it. Modern art, they say—well, I am indeed glad I am up here and out of it all—or am I? Could this white thing coming toward me possibly be an airplane? Yes, it is and it’s being driven by that daring flyer, Nell Brooks! Now back to earth. Say, there’s Jean Bryant and her five little Nugents! I hear she’s coaching them to be great American basketball players. “Take a look at Yankee Stadium. Barbara Ellison is pitching for our Yankees in their eighteenth undefeated year! Edith Merritt, I hear, just had a heated argument with Leo over who should manage the Chester Cubs. ‘There’s Jake Williams, too, who has recently been appointed official score keeper for the Lower Slobovia fishing team, Pardon me now for just a minute while I get out my telescope and “specs”. “The Reflector. New York is so crowded I can scarcely distinguish the people from the window dummies. In fact, is that a dummy or Robert Bradley I see? Oh! It’s Robert a'l right, giving away pamphlets on “The Value of Education.” There is Dorothy Adams, too. She has become immensely wealthy since she discovered how to make snow out of left-over bread crusts. “These bread crusts are specially prepared by the Moore-DesChamps Crust Factory, managed by Stanley Moore and Davey DesChamps. Fifth Avenue, too, has become quite a place since Shirley Smith, Mary Moore, and Patricia Warren established their pastry shop featuring pastries so prepared that they can be made into adorable hats if warmed before shaping. Next door to their shop stands the Chester Culture Club Building. Looking in, we find Jane Johnson busily typing her new book written in honor of General Roy Collie and his associate, Lieutenant Billy Collie, commanders of the Eighth Army of Centralia. Only four yards away in a quiet little office, James Ragland and Jimmy Moorefield, authors of the “Advice to the Lovelorn Column”, are trying hard to find an answer to one of the questions submitted to them. It seems that heiress Betty Jean Hitt wants to know how to make a success out of marriage—without a husband! Professors John Paeplow and Charles Fisher are offering their advice concerning the question, but since they work only in the field of taxidermy, they are finding it a bit difficult to be of help. A little farther away, on the seven hundred and twentieth floor of his luxurious mansion, billionaire Randolph Kientz relaxes and thinks over the day’s problems. His personal maids, Emily Blick, Alice King, and Wilda Langster, have drawn up a petition and are preparing to quit the household on the grounds that a salary of one dollar and forty cents a week is hardly enough to live on. In addition to this worry, airplane manufacturer, Bernard Anderson, has sued him for twenty thousand dollars and Randolph is unable to recall in which bank his one thousand dollar bills are deposited! Speaking of money, in 1956 Nellie Minetree, Marjorie Payton and Donna Staples pooled their resources and bought the North Pole at a bargain sale for $5.98. After fourteen years of freezing, they sold it back to its original owner, James Congdon, for half price. Now they have moved to the Sahara Desert! Over at the United Nations Conference, the United States Secretary of State, Graham Bruce, is busy trying to find out which delegate “made off” with the atomic bomb last night; while on the other side of the room, our first woman representative to China, Marion Reid, is trying to persuade Spanish Professor Miners Rapalee that “ain’t” is a good English word! Now my cloud is moving westward and below me appears Bush Ranch, owned and operated by Winston Bush. Catherine Goyne, noted bareback rider, is performing her new no-hands, no-feet, dare-devil stunt while riding astride a bucking pinto. Pardon me—she’s no longer astride and now it’s ‘“no-horse’’, too! Say, there comes that airplane and Nell Brooks again. Oh-my-goodness, she has taken a piece off my cloud! Hey, Saint Peter, throw me down a spare—quick! Phew! Here we are—already in Hollywood! Herbert Benett has recently taken over Clark Gable’s position as king of the movies, and will soon be seen as “The Reflector. Shakespeare in the Robert Daizovi production of the “Greatest Spear”. This picture will also star John Anderson as Hitler and Albert Huband as Tarzan. Although the production appears a rather “mixed-up” affair to me, Hollywood reporter Ethel Johnson, says it is better than anything previously seen except a Repub ican majority in both houses! Over at the RKO lot, Terry Teeple, Wilton Birdsong, and Jackie Jones, the screen’s newest and most thrilling triangle lovers, have finished their latest pic- ture “Shall We Die Now?” Pin-up model, Mabel Lovelace, says after you have seen it, you have no other alternative. Oh! Now my cloud is floating over another continent. It is South America, a land of thrills and adventure. In fact, right now a very odd-looking female dressed in snow boots and a Lathing suit is attempting to scale the Andes Mountains, while carrying a pair of skis and an umbrella. Goodness, it’s Agnes Temple, still trying to find out what you have to do to get your picture in the paper! Down below me, sailing on the smooth blue waters of the Pacific are Jean Ramsey and Connie Adams who are eagerly awaiting the first launching of their sub-submarine. Jean and Connie claim it will not only run under water but when it strikes the ocean bottom it will keep straight down through the earth. The only hitch is they haven’t yet figured out how to get it back on top of the water again. Just over beyond the Andes, in the deep jungle of Brazil, a neon sign which reads “Bradshaw’s Barbecue, Clothing Store, Pool Room and Library” proves to me that Vernon and Floyd Bradshaw are succeeding in bringing civilization to the natives who are too lazy to come and get it. About two hundred miles away, on the outskirts of this great wilderness, Dorothy Davis, famed animal trainer, is attempting to remove the tonsils from a screaming jaguar, who really doesn’t like the idea at all. “Dot” has almost as much courage as Kenneth Zimmerman who is in Rio de Janeiro getting source material for his new comic strip “Little Awful Andre and the Falling Cocoanut”. I had often heard of the heating facilities down below the earth, but when I became an angel I thought I’d be out of it all. I should have thought twice because it’s so hot up here over this torrid area that I’m obliged to move to a cooler climate. It is about time for me to leave, anyhow, so let’s take one quick look at France. ‘There we find stylists Theodocia Morris, Carl Morris, and Lula Partin who after twenty years of arguing have finally persuaded the French that their bathing suits aren’t suitable for wear. It seems to me that if they have managed to keep them up for twenty years, they might as well continue to wear them. But now, I must really depart, for my halo, which is size ten and much too big for me, has begun to slip down over my eyes and I fear that if I do ot begin my journey upward, I may never reach those golden gates of which I am so fond. So to you, my good friends, I say “adieu”, but to my little white cloud I can only say, “Sail away, the Heavens await us!” ANNE ROCK.

HOWARD HOLLINGSWORTH MISS ELLEN CONYERS Our coaches have worked diligently with those pupils who were interested in varsity sports. Under their patient direction, the players have gained greater abilities, a keener sense of fairness, and the respect of others in being good losers. These instructors have tried to instill within each player a desire to win and also a realization that he is to win by playing a clean, hard game. ‘They have taught us we represent our school while on the playing field. They have demonstrated to the team that it is better to lose fairly than to win unfairly. Both coaches have led players and spectators to respect the officials by setting the proper example. Last, but not least, we respect our coaches for the fine sportsmanship and dignity which they have shown, at all times, even when competition was keenest. Thus to these two members of our faculty, we wish to express our appreciation for the fine example which they have set, not only for their players, but also for our student body as well. We are proud of you. “The Retle ctor PLCS) ee Seen Tae SUOSPILG SUOMI SOE st er a area.

Since this was his second year as Coach at Thomas Dale, he was determined to have a team to surpass that of last year. Lettermen from last year’s squad and a few inexperienced players found themselves with four hard weeks of practice before the first game. At the end of that time, the team was beginning to take shape—rough and ready for gridiron performances. On October third, with new uniforms and equipment, our team traveled to Farmville where the ‘““Maroons” gained a 19-0 victory. Robert Bradley, a senior, and a very speedy ball carrier, broke through the Farmville eleven time after time. ‘This plus the excellent blocking of our line resulted in our romping score. ae. The following week a more high spirited team was host to the John Marshall B team. ‘The Maroons played an outstanding game and walked away with a 49-0 win. The third game of the season was played at Kenbridge. ‘There, the T. D. eleven again found themselves in tip-top shape. “They gained control and held it for a 39-7 victory. Next on the list was Highland Springs. ‘This time the score was a little different. “The Maroons found themselves facing an impregnable team and suffered a 14-0 defeat. On November first we met Glen Allen under the lights at the City Stadium. Coach Howard Hollingsworth, as well as the players on the team, were through being pushed around by the so-called superior team of Glen Allen. Kenneth Leech, our blocking back played an outstanding game not only from blocking back but in the fullback position as well. Ross Bishop, one of the co-captains, played an unusually good game on both offense and defense. Al- though we had taken a 7-0 defeat, we feel that we had pulled out a moral victory. . The game cost us heavy casualties. Our small but mighty center, Ed Scar- borough and Ends Waverly and Cleveland Martin were out for the rest of the season. The center position was taken over by Dennis Nugent and the ends were taken over by Bernard Anderson, Bob Askew, and Graham Bruce. For our sixth game of the season Ashland invaded our home grounds and the first half ended in a stalemate. The third quarter was played in much the same fashion. ‘Then in the the fourth and final period Jim Moorefield, our hefty fullback, smashed through the Ashland linesmen to give T. D. a 6-0 victory. Varina, the surprising team of the year, took the Maroons for the first time in five years. In this game we also lost one of our best backs, Robert Bradley, who suffered a knee injury. Manchester, our arch rival in every sport, was our last foe of the season. Still remembering the game of last year when Manchester defeated us 13-0, we were determined to be the victor. With a scoreless first half, the T. D. eleven began to march, being led by Jim Moorefield, who came through when necessary to give us a 13-0 victory. With the victory over Manchester we completed our gridiron season with five wins against three defeats. SE eflector AY : Al Derte Hu Dard (eset sme va ret ee ene eee a Ren ese aE Manager et HA Bobby!

N December first, Coach Howard Hollingsworth’s first call for candidates for the basketball team was given. He was greeted by a large crop of aspiring youngsters, most of whom lacked experience. The Maroons rounded quickly into shape, following every instruc- tion given by the coach with the hope of gaining the district champion- ship for the second consecutive year. The Maroons opened the season by meeting the Alumni over whom they easily triumphed. ‘The second game saw things go much the same way, with T. D. again swamping its rival, the Smithfield team. Fresh from two consecutive victories, the Maroons had the skids put under them in Blue’s Armory by Glen Allen in their third game of the season, and in the next game Thomas Dale lost a heartbreaker to the Varina High Blue Devils. The T. D. team journeyed to Spotsylvania and redeemed themselves by rack- ing up the third victory in five starts, but in the sixth game of the season, the Maroons were soundly defeated by Highland Springs. ‘The Maroons ran up against Manchester’s Lancers in the next game of the season with the Lancers taking the game. ‘The ‘Thomas Dale quint’s eighth game was another hard-fought, heart-breaking one, with Henry Clay High of Ashland triumphant. Spotsylvania met defeat for the second time during the season at the hands of T. D., but Glen Allen’s Panthers trounced ‘Thomas Dale once again in their second meeting. T. D. bounced back in its next game, and soundly defeated Varina. Un- fortunately the Maroon’s victory exhilaration was short-l ived, for they lost the following game to Highland Springs. The thirteenth game of the season was played with Manchester and proved to be an unlucky one for Chester; however, ‘VT. D. triumphed over Smithfield in the next game. The tables were again turned in the fifteenth game of the season in which Ashland defeated Chester. Second-year man Bob Askew led the Thomas Dale basketball team in high scoring honors for the season, with 139 points in 16 games for an average of 8.7 points per game. Robert Bradley scored 78 points in 15 games for an average ol 5.2 points a game. Others who did outstanding work this season were Bernard Anderson, Graham Bruce, Kenneth Leech, and James Ragland. Stars were awarded at the close of the season to Graham Bruce, Robert Bradley, Donald Dawson, Bob Askew, Kenneth Leech, James Ragland, Bernard Anderson, and Albert Huband, manager. Prospects for the ’48-49 basketball season are fairly bright with the follow- ing men returning for another season of play: Bob Askew, Donald Dawson, Claude Rocke, “Ace”? Farmer, Gene Waters, Jimmy Lipscomb, Jimmy Womble, Bill Cook, and, if a physical handicap does not hamper him, Ray Baker. “Wie Reflector.

D. It’s true, they never reached the point of perfection, but they did, under the patient guidance and coaching of Miss Ellen Conyers, ring in a won- derful year of victories. Their teamwork together with their good sportsmanship presented a basketball record of which we should all be proud. High scorer for the season was Dorien Merritt, with a total of 118 points. Following close in her lead was Co-Captain Edith Merritt with a score of 105 points. Edith, one of the fastest moving girls on the team completed at this time three years’ service as either captain or co-captain of the team. The third mem- ber of the trio was a newcomer, Emily Blick. Emily proved to be a quick rising star when, during this, her first year on the floor, she brought in 60 points. No game of basketball is complete without guards, especially good ones like the team boasted this year. Co-Captain Barbara Ellison, Betty Jo Moses, Anne Rock, Agnes ‘Temple and Jean Ann Bryant proved, with their splendid de- fensive teamwork, that you need not only speed but skill as well to master this position. The Thomas Dale girls scored during the season 298 points as compared to their opponents 217 points. In several games following, particularly those with Midlothian, Ashland and Spotsylvania, the extraordinary playing of the varsity line-up made it pos- sible for Coach Conyers to give her substitutes a tryout. Among these we find Joyce Bowman, Betty Wilmoth, Jean Partin, Emily Booton, Mildred Harris and Joan Wyman. As stars of tomorrow they, too, played well. At the close of the season, monograms or stars were presented to those girls who qualified to receive them. Edith Merritt, Dorien Merritt, Barbara Ellison, Betty Jo Moses, Anne Rock, Jean Ann Bryant, Agnes ‘Temple and basketball manager, Geraldine Hadder earned stars while Emily Blick and Manager Ramona Kelly won monograms. We closed this successful basketball year, not only with a sigh of satisfaction, but also with deep regret for the seven players who would be graduating in June. ‘To them, we wish the best of luck in the years to come while to our future stars we wish many seasons as successful as the one just past.

This was the shield bearing a flaming torch flanked by the letters, TD, 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.
