Wakefield High School - Starstone Yearbook (Arlington, VA)

Text from Pages 1 - 188 of the 1953 volume:

LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA DIVISION OF EXTENSION Lb 150| l ' 53 ' l‘155 pKOPEn ! OF Ttfli:uBKAP ' ' F ' vr’aD This is our school, Wokefield. Suitobly nomed for the birthplace of the famous American, George Washington, , our school wos built In a field adjacent to a grove of trees, a location where Washington may once have surveyed. It Is said that the star on our American Flag came from the Washington Coot of Arms. Starstones, small five- pointed fossils found In Englond, the former home of the Washington family, formed the pattern for the stars on our flag. We have named your yearbook Starstone because of its close relationship to George Washington. It Is the hope of all of us to make our school a model of our Americon Ideals. As Wakefield Is developed In many new ways each year, may your Starstone also be enlarged and perfected. f Li ■IMI R In compony with the students ond stoff of Wakefield, I take great pride In our school and Its accomplishments. In two short years we have done much to build a school which enlists the affection and commands the respect of all those connected with It. It has been especially gratifying to see the school finding on Importont place In community life and think- ing, and at times receiving even state ond national recognition for some of Its activities. We could not have built so soundly and ropidly had It not been for the friendly and constructive way In which students ond stoff have worked togefher toward com- monly held goals. This pictoral record of the 1954-1955 school year Is another example of joint student-foculty endeavor. It Is my hope that this book will serve effectively to document the life of the school. To the extent that It does this It will assume Importance — may this be an Important book! As we build our own characters and personalities, so are we building the character and traditions of our school. We, ourselves, are growing as we watch our school grow. Our halls hear many things. The morning voices of students, excited and apprehensive, as we come into school; anxious and urgent voices as we begin the day with those necessary errands . . . getting a ticket for the game or an excuse signed In the office or a l-o-o-ng lab apron or some graph paper in the school store. [ 8 ] 8:30 — the familiar grind begins. Is Mr. Kler the office ' s big attraction? [ 9 ] . . . hurrying through the halls to homeroom we arrive just in time to salute the flag. With a look of relief as the bell rings, we go to first period. One nation, under God . . . f ! ! ) The dead language turning over in its grave. sh-BOOM [ 12 ] Boldly the cafeteria owaits the crowd, os the hungriest people approach. Soon it Is engulfed by hungry students joining an endless lunch line, eating, finishing homework, and taking a moment out of the routine of classes to relax and talk to friends. Going as hurriedly as we came, we dash to fifth period, leaving the janitors and kitchen staff to clean up and prepare another doy’s meals, and leaving the cafeteria standing lonely and beaten, thinking of the lunch periods to come. [ 13 ] F [ 14 ] Wakefield ' s modern auditorium and library show the progress of our school. Our library, which is the biggest and best equipped high school library In the country, Is In constant use, while our newly finished auditorium silently awaits the long procession of choir concerts, drama club productions, class nights and eventually our groduatlon. [ 15 ] I I II ! i I Our gyms are the scene of many activities. An overage day in our gyms includes classes, G.A.A. and intramurol meetings, Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y activities, Foculty Night, and Junior and Senior High bos- I ketball gomes. [ 16 } On special occoslons the gyms ' are the scene of pep rallies and holidoy assemblies, plans and decorations and finally the big idance. Our athletic field was christened in George Mason ' s favor, 7-6. I As we leave the stately halls of Wake- field, our voices ore subdued, for we have worked hard and done our best in another school doy. But reminders of our school remain with us as we leave to prepare for tomorrow, which is already imminent. [ 18 ] I rush to the bus finally ends our day. This Is a shortcut? We make more money this way! [ 20 ] Watch that dart! Heard any good ones lately?” [ 21 ] In making us fhe outstanding product of an outstanding school, our teachers acquaint us with humor, a sense of honor and discipline and equip us with the knowledge and experience necessary to attain the goal of success. MR. T. EDWARD RUTTER Superintendent of Schools ? It seems only a few short months since I stood on on open field and heard architects and members of our School Boord describe whot kind of school could be built on the commanding site where Wakefield now stands. Two and a half years in time and three and a half million dollars In money hove been required to bring that day ' s vision to reolity. Now your splendid building is complete. Next year your curriculum will be expanded to include a full high school course. I congrotulate both faculty and students | on the fine beginnings which have been made at Wakefield. You ore building a ■ greot institution. We on the school administrative staff j ore proud of Wokefield and of your fine faculty. We olways remember, however, that the students are the heart of any school. The excellent classrooms were built for you and the weeks ond months of plan- ning for the instructionol progrom were oil in your interest. It is a real pleasure to greet you in the confidence that you will truly benefit fronn all thot is offered ot your wonderful Wakefield. MR. T. EDWARD RUTTER Superintendent of Schools I [ 24 ] congratulate our football team on the splendid display of sportsmanship at Mount Vernon The smiling face we see behind a bow tie in the hall belongs to the Principal of our school. Dr. Wilson attended Vincennes University and Indiana University before obtaining his B.A., M.A. and Ed.D. degrees at George Washington University In Washington, D. C. He first came to Arlington in the same year he was married, 1945, as Army Editor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and In 1950 became Associate Principal of our rival schaol, Washington-Lee. Dr. Wilson has taught English and Social Studies In California and Washington, D. C. He Is now teaching Educational Psychology and Philosophy at George Washington University. Adding more experience to his record, Dr. Wilson spent five years in the Army. [ 25 ] Get me another hot dog and a Coke! No story of o school would be complete without mention of those who authorize and direct. Meet our administrotors. Our jovial Associate Principal, Mr. Ralph Kler, Is noted lorgely for his size ond his bow ties. Mr. Kler works directly with Mrs. Mory Mare, Assistant Principal and Dean of Girls. Students who have ever been excused early will remember the trim lady with spectacles. Assisting many of us in planning a vocation is the genial Director of Guidance, Mr. Francis Campbell. Com- prising the athletic faction ore Mr. Mort Irwin, who, besides coaching our varsity baseball teom Is in charge of morning onnouncements, and Mr. Milo Sonen, Wakefield ' s capable Director of Athletics. Did we fit you all in. Sir? The all-inclusive job of a teacher never ends. After teaching a carefully scheduled doy there are always prep- ofotions for the next.

We are the student body, modern students of today populating a modern school. KEN DARLING President I For forty-five minutes every school day six students ore leading the council discussing ond solving problems of our school. It Is their responsibility to develop the kind of government thot Is most adapt- able for the maximum efficient student participa- tion In school affairs. The Student Council has sent representatives to conferences both reglonol ond natlonol throughout the year. Now at the end of our school yeor we can congrotulate the officers for o job well done.

Hav- ing produced two editions in 1954 and one in 1955, the Pendulum, which is odvised by Miss Richmond, is composed of poetry, essays, short stories and illustra- tions all created by students of every grade. L. Dooley, typist. The eighty-seven voice Wokefield choir hos doubled its size since lost year. It has given vorious concerts in the school ond community containing all types of music: light, serious ond sacred. Students will remember the choir ' s new blue-groy robes with which they performed on many occasions. Like any other group, the choir hos officers and also robe custodians, librorians, business managers and others which are as Important os the actual singers. The choir, which Is under the direction of Miss Whittaker, performed in the school Christmas program In the newly completed ouditorium, the Dedication ossembly, the Spring Festival and the second All-County Music Festival. In sixteenth century Europe a new type of song, known os a Madngol, became popular. These songs were widely! sung by oil who could harmonize. At Wakefield there Is] on organized Madrigal group composed of six boys ond six| girls. These voices were selected on the basis of their ' ability to blend with each other. They have performed for ch urches, private orgonlzotlons and the Wokefieldl student body on many occasions. Here Is a fine foundation! for a lasting troditlon at our school. Cox, J. Thacher, J.

The Senior High Orchestro, under the direction of Mrs. Cooper, Is composed of approxi- mately forty students, whose activities include field trips to several elementary schools In the oreo. Recently they participated in the Spring Concert In April and the All-County Music Festivol In Moy. I The Girls Chorus, which consists of approximately one hundre ond fifty eighth and ninth grade girls, has grown rapidly during H| two years here at Wakefield.

This is an hanor In which every Wakefield student shows. The group has given a number of concerts, both at Wokefleld and Elementory schools, ond also various community functions In Arlington. Mr. Fox, the director of the Boys ' Chorus, expects on even larger enrollment next yeor. The forty-five members of the Junior High Bond operote on a program like that of the Senior High Bond. The group is under the direction of Mr. Lewis, os is the Senior High Bond, and meets for one period every school doy. One of their chief activities In 1955 was taking port in the All-County Music Festival. Supplementing the Senior High Orchestra at Wakefield is the Junior High Orchestra, also direct- ed by Mrs. Cooper. The group hos o program similar to that of the Senior High Orchestra and fre- quently visits primary schools In the area. It Is interesting to note that the wind players In both groups double in the bond and orchestro. [ 117 ] 1 f I A variety of dances, importont extracurriculo activities, were held this year. Among these th Valentine Dance and Christmas Dance sponsorec by the SRC and JRC were the most outstandinc Other dances were the Masquerade Ball sponsorec by the Publications and the Circus Motif Donci sponsored by the Y clubs.

Among these were the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Dedication assemblies. The music groups, under the direction of Miss Whittaker, Mrs. Cooper, Mr. Fox and Mr. Lewis, furnished Inci- dental, supplementary enter- tainment. In addition, many pep rallies were held by the athletic teams and the cheerleaders, prior to Im- portant football and basket- ball games. Notable among these were the Beot W-L rally, and the opening con- test with George Moson. 1 On the night of November 17, students from Wakefield, W-L, and Falls Church, solicited the citizens of Arlington and nearby areas on behalf of Arlington Hospital. Due to Arlington ' s ropid growth the hospital has long been hondicopped becouse of lack cf space and beds. Organized by Area Chairmen ond precinct coptains, each solicitor was assigned to convoss o certain num- ber of houses neor his home. A total of $3,800 wos raised by solicitation, and the Mediterronean Cruise, a dance spansored by W-L and attended by students of both Wakefield and W-L. The student body is represented throughout Arlington and the nearby communities by our many outstanding athletic teams.

During the two seasons I iasketball has been played at Wakefield, the :|uad has been under the direction of Mr. Robin- I )n. The coach has always believed in a small r:|uad, allowing each member more ottention. The ' arrior team this s.oson was composed of thlr- sen boys, most of whom were Juniors.
