IRENE KENT “Whe Reflector. poe Ns we sit here in our last high school assembly, our thoughts turn to the fall of 1945 when we, as Eighth Graders, en- rolled under the new five-year plan at Thomas Dale. With the assistance of our sponsors, Miss Prochazka, Mrs. Brumble, Miss Wright, and Miss Chappell, we soon learned our way around and settled down to a year of interesting new work. Officers were: Emily Booten, president; Stanley Holmes, vice-president; Joan Wyman, secretary; and Jimmy Wombie, treasurer. Upon completing the required work of the year, we welcomed the sum- mer vacation. The next fall when we returned as Freshman, we were more enthusiastic about our studies than we had been the year before because then we knew our work would give us credit toward gradu- ation. After weeks and months of classes and study the year closed successfully. With memories of the wiener roast at Swift Creek Park, which had taken the place of the usual class day activities, we began a summer full of excitement— trips hither and yon, joyous days at the lake, and summer jobs. The fall of 1947 saw us back again, eager to begin a year that was to be the fullest and most memorable thus far. Since there was no Junior Class, many opportunities and responsibilities that normally had been theirs fell to us. Our first task was the publication of the school paper. In order that the paper might be representative of the entire school we changed its name from The Junior Journal to The Journal. ‘That spring with the assistance of our spon- sors, Mrs. Casey and Mrs. Smart, we en- joyed preparing for the Junior-Senior reception. ‘The gymnasium was deco- rated beautifully, with palm trees and murals, painted by the drawing class, giving a tropical atmosphere for the oc- casion. Frayed tempers, broken finger- nails, and general disorder were all for- gotten as we twirled and swirled to the CHass History music of the Southern Serenaders. June came and with it a longed-for vacation from books, study, and teachers. When we entered school in Septem- ber, 1948, as Juniors, we were the upper classmen, for there was no official Senior class. Our sponsors were Miss Hudson and Miss Park. Our officers were: Bull Cook, president; Jane Smith, vice- president; Nell Mitchell, secretary; and Gloria Smith, treasurer. Again we suc- cessfully published The Journal. On returning to school after the Christmas holidays, we found that construction had been started on the new addition to the school plant. Many of us would sit and gaze out the windows, watching the workmen mix mortar and lay bricks to make our new building. Under the di- rection of Mrs. Crump, on May 2 (ewe presented our class play, The Sunshine Twins. After days of hard work inter- mingled with fun, Charles Pickhardt, Wini Boggs, Becky Thompson, Stanley Holmes, Nell Mitchell, Florence Davis, Henry Walters, Eleanor Roberts, Page McGee, Marion Hall, and Marjorie Bos- well gave an outstanding performance. When our school gave a radio broadcast, “Junior Town Meeting of the Air,” from station WRNL, Donald Welker, Ray Goodwin, Jeff Stephenson, Bob Webb, and Eleanor Roberts took part on the program. In the fall of 1949 we acquired the long awaited title of “dignified Seniors.” When we returned to school, excitedly we rushed through the halls to inspect the new rooms which awaited us. Mem- bers of the Senior Class worked enthu- siastically and successfully on the Curtis Campaign. Page McGee was high sales- man, with Becky ‘Thompson a close sec- ond. Again we knew the excitement and confusion of preparation, as we began rehearsals for our class play, Miss Jimmy, under the direction of Mrs. Reames and Mrs. Crump. After days of turmoil and_ practice, Wini Boggs, Joan Wyman, Nellie Kidd, Frances Wooten, Jackie Hankla, Henry Walters, Florence Davis, Stanley Holmes, and Jimmy Farmer gave an excellent performance on February 24. In the spring we were guests of the Junior Class at a colorful and gay Junior-Senior re- ception. Our class chose to follow the custom of previous years and publish The Reflector. With Becky Thompson as editor-in-chief and Miss East, Mrs. Smart and Mr. Thompson as faculty ad- visors, the Class of 1950 prepared its yearbook. That day which seemed so far away 1n the fall of 1945 has come at last. And now that it has come, we find we are not as happy as we thought we would be. Perchance, in the future there will be times when we will look back longingly to our high school days at Thomas Dale and remember them with great pride and joy. NANCY PERKINSON, Class Historian ed OFS Aass Prof hecy WELL. hi! How nice to see you again. Times have really changed since T last saw you. Here we are in the Atomic Age. All about us I can see the great work that our fellow students—the Class of 1950—have done with the atom. When we started as high school freshmen, news of the Atom Bomb was filling every newspaper. How glad I am that through the years we have been able to utilize this great force for our own progress. At this very moment I’m _ floating around on the little atom which I keep for my personal use, just dreaming of the past and wondering what's happened to my classmates through the years. I really should go home now, so how about com- ing with me and let’s see how much gossip we've accumulated through the years. “Vhe Reflector Since it’s cold outside, come on in. Let’s sit around my super-atom heater and reminisce. Sue Ann McAdams and Waverly Applewhite are singing a duet from our own Chester Studios over the radio-television set, and I’m sure you'd like to hear them. Listen! Donald Wel- ker (hasn’t he gone far) is interrupting with a special news broadcast: “Flash! The J. Bagby Womble North Pole Ex- pedition has failed. The explorer has trudged four hundred miles in the snow, causing him to get such flat feet that the famous doctor, Bryan Walker, has joined the rescue squad in case he 1s needed.” Ah, yes. That was a forward class. Page McGee is now a successful South- ern Planter. His colonial manor was de- signed by Architect “Tommy West and furnished by Bobby Baril. Claude Rocke is president of a western university where Ray Goodwin is now coaching football. Jeff Stephenson is, as we all expected, an accomplished and noted orator. Beverly Bailey, famous motion pic- ture producer, has just found a new male discovery, Floyd Bennett. He promises CLass Prophecy to be another Valentino. Paul Barron is the recognized author of the romantic poem, “An Hour’s Conversation With a Dead Fish.” Robert Atkinson and Jimmy Farmer have become successful business- men. They own the famous chain stores, “Posies” and ‘‘Fleceworth’s,’’ which have proved too much competition for the Woolworth’s we knew. ‘The stores are managed efficiently by James Sadler and Larry Fitzgerald. Stanley Holmes is the manufacturer of “Keep your tired, ex- pired feet—neat” shoes for men who own “Model A’s.”’ Bob Webb has gone North and is now known as ‘Art Gum and his Rubber Band.” Davis, your “Monday Night Blues Sing- Cc R Bob’s_ vocalists are Florence er’ and Henry Myers, the raved-over crooner. Henry Walters is the newest television sensation. He just smiles at everyone and encourages them to “‘rush out an’ buy” Gloria Smith’s canned food which sells under the name “Delightful Dinner Delicacies.” Jane Smith is an editor of “Time” magazine; Nancy Perkinson and Frances Wooton are members of that worthy magazine's staff. Jackie Hankla (always a believer in matrimony) has made mar- riage her career. She is the wife of the future governor. Nell Mitchell is owner of an exclusive ready-to-wear shop; Ce- cile Bosher and Nellie Kidd model her latest fashions, designed by Joan Wy- ma. Audrey Hollins has gained fame and fortune narrating “ghost” stories over a nation-wide children’s radio program. Becky ‘Thompson has just turned author on us by writing “How Crazy Can You Get?” a hilarious autobiography. Mar- jorie Boswell is head of a lost and found department, in hopes she can find her voice which she lost while cheerleading au thesl-Daeaimes: Ola Ellison’s head is in the clouds these days; she’s an air hostess with the Chester - Petersburg Airlines. Dorien Merritt is president of the Chester Woman's Club. Irene Kent is traveling around the world with her soldier hus- band, while Hilda Cogbill has become an efficient stenographer for Betty Over- street, who is Director of Religious Edu- cation at one of our big city churches. Gracious! ‘Vhis new atom clock makes time pass so rapidly. Life moves at such Thanks for dropping by and letting me chat with you. Next time you're in Chester do stop by to see me. I’m never too busy with my research work to visit with old friends. a swift pace these days!

We are indeed proud of our coaches whose guidance in the past year has aided and advanced our varsity sports. To the two who have given their time and patient services, we owe our gratitude for a better understanding of sportsmanship and a keener interest in fair play that shall challenge us in the future. They have tested us in sports and made us realize that fair play always pays. Our apprecia- tion also goes to Mr. La rry Seyler who has so kindly assisted our A parsity teams this season.

Using essen- tially the ’48 team, Coach Pellack made a streamlined ‘IT’ formation work wonders with his l ight, but fast team. All-Suburban fullback and team captain, Billy Dale led a fast and brainy backfield which saw Lee Ammons, Page McGee and Soph. John Bosher stand out. Bobby Baril, also first team All-Suburban at left tackle, Jeff Stephenson, Horace Butler, Bucky Vau- ghan, Courtney Belcher, and Stanley Holmes proved stalwarts of the rugged line which constantly paved the way for yardage for the Dales and closed, rock-hard, to opponents. In the opening contest at Farmville, the Dales fielded a jittery team which allowed the Black and Gold a 14-point margin before they swung into action. Late in the second period Billy Dale cracked over from six yards out for Chester’s first score. Page McGee took a punt early in the third quarter and sped 81 yards behind terrific downfield block- ing. Despite a decided superiority in the second half and a sustained march which car- ried the ball to the two-yard line as the final whistle blew, Chester was defeated 14-12, extra points being in Farmville’s favor. The following week Chester roared back to avenge their initial setback, dropping Varina 19-0. After securing a comfortable margin, Coach Pellack wisely elected to give his second and third teams the benefit of ex- perience rather than run up the score; every- one played as the Maroons coasted to their first win. In the role of underdog the squad played at its best to hold a fine Highland Springs team to a scoreless deadlock. The defensive line-play was outstanding with Baril, Stephenson, and Vaughan providing more than their share of bumps for the Springers. Ashland’s light, inexperienced squad proved an easy foe, as, once again, Coach Pellack cleared the bench in posting win number two, 32-6. John Bosher led the scorers with two touchdowns and two extra points. Billy Dale, Lee Ammons and Horace Butler each scored once. The following week Chester traveled north to meet Falmouth’s powerful Indians. After a scoreless first quarter Chester climaxed a march, sending Billy Dale the final eight yards. Later in the same period Page McGee picked up another marker on a brilliant 32-yard trip around right end. Coach Pellack reached into his bag of tricks and did a fine job in (preparing) the Dales for Petersburg’s beefy JV squad. Bosher, Am- mons and McGee scored, as ‘T. D. won 19-0. The Manchester game provided the greatest thrill as the Dales came from behind, led by silly Dale’s pile-driving plays through the middle, to score twice for the 12-7 win. Wom- ble: and Lipscomb scored in Chester’s best game of the year. In the season’s last game at Glen Allen the Maroons met a much heavier team and in spite of their efforts, lost a 32-0 decision to the Group II champs.

The role ol underdog was not new to these boys who had taken their share of bumps in the 1948-49 campaign; it did, however, give them the in- centive to work even harder. Veterans “Bucky” Vaughan, Jimmie Wom- ble, Claude Rock, Jimmy Lipscomb, and Ray Baker provided a nucleus around which Coach Pellack quickly whipped a team into shape, emphasizing teamwork in an attempt to over- come the tremendous height advantage his opponents would have. Our first game saw the alumni, with some of the fine ball players from former T. D. squads, outclass our less experienced squad. Following the Christmas holidays the Dales opened their regular season with a resounding win over Midlothian. Ashland fared no bet- ter as I. D. posted another win before a full house on the home floor. With powerful Glen Allen, Varina, and Highland Springs playing at their best, Ches- ter seldom received good scoring opportuni- ties and despite aggressive, heads-up ball play- ing, the game T. D. squad met defeat in all three outings. eg Our traditional rivals, Manchester, won the next game, but few can forget the spirit of the IT. D. boys who played such a fine game against Opponents several inches taller. Varina and Glen Allen were once again victorious in subsequent games before the Maroons throttled McKenney at Chester. The second game with Manchester drew the largest crowd of the season and few were disappointed with the caliber of basketball exhibited. Manchester's many foul shots proved the margin as the fighting Dales once again met defeat. Aching for revenge, Chester roared to a hard-fought surprise victory over powerful Highland Springs. High-flying Matthew Wha- ley won the next contest, and in the following game, Chester ended the season with a loss to Ashland. Despite the lack of wins, the season was not, by far, a failure. We cannot overlook the quality of sportsmanship ever present in our athletic contests, nor the rebuilding program which was taking place even in defeat. With experienced ball players such as Alvin Vaughan, Jack Tait, John Pate, John Bosher, Jimmy Lipscomb, Tommy Boyd, Herman Johnston, and Jack VanStaden returning next year, the future is definitely brighter. ‘She Kerlector” Girls’ Basketball ; Doren, Merrit)... jJacquelinem Gallien 2 RacheleNl oGrew =. aa G@arolyin Gia yas Miss Ellen Conyers .......

There was never a dull moment in our gymnasium when the Dale girls showed the art of teamwork for every victory earned. ‘They constantly thrilled spectators with outstanding floor play and exciting scor- ing drives to capture winning honors from ‘Thomas every team they played. Under the leadership of Miss Ellen Conyers, this team of ours moulded together one of the most successful basketball teams in_ the school’s history. High scorer for the season was Bertha Har- vey with 238 points. Captain Dorien Merritt is to be commended for her excellent skill and leadership on the floor. Dorien has been a member of the team for four years and has served as captain for the past two seasons. The third member of the trio is Dorothy Usry who set up the baskets by her accurate passing. We could not close the baskektball season without giving special attention to the guards. It goes without saying that the team could not have chalked up so many victories with- out the splendid cooperation which we have witnessed between the guards and forwards. Jean Partin, Phyllis Moore, Doris Pillow have been outstanding this entire season for their performance and teamwork. In several games during the season the ex- traordinary playing of the varsity lineup made it possible for Coach Conyers to give her sub- stitutes a tryout. Among these we find Joyce Kidd, Shirley Holmes, Nita Thomas, Barbara House, Cecile Bosher, Judy Bell, Ann Greene and Arlene Snowden. At the close of the season monograms or stars were presented to these girls who quali- fied to receive them: Dorien Merritt, Bertha Harvey, Dorothy Usry, Cecile Boshet, Judy Bell, Jean Partin, Phyllis Moore, and Joyce Kidd earned stars, while Doris Pillow, Shirley Nita Manager Jacqueline Gallier won monograms. Holmes, Thomas, Ann Greene, and To these girls and their coach we say “Heartiest congratulations for a job well done.”” May those who follow in your foot- steps hold high the torch of victory for our Alma Mater.
