WA Foreword . . . We, the Journalism Class of Warwick High School, present to the students of our school, their parents and the residents of Warwick County the 1950 Warwick. Within its covers we hope we have accurately and honestly pictured the life of the school. This is important to all, for it is here that future citizens of Warwick are trained for their duties and responsibilities as a citizen. It is here, also, that these future citizens spend the last five years of their public school career and where they accumulate many memories. To the people of Warwick, then, we present this annual; to the residents, for a clearer view of the operation and activities of our high school, and to the students, as a magic wand to keep the memories of the past ever alive. Published by the JOURNALISM CLASS OF WARWICK HIGH SCHOOL MORRISON, VIRGINIA To ONE WHO HAS SO GENEROUSLY ENRICHED OUR Alma Mater; Who possesses a keen desire to hold together ALWAYS THAT BOND OF FELLOWSHIP EXISTING BETWEEN THE FACULTY AND STUDENT BODY, And by so doing has brought unlimited joy INTO THE LIVES OF WARWICK HlGH STUDENTS, The Staff dedicates this, the nineteen- hundred-fifty edition of The Warwick, to MR. GEORGE W. COX, Jr. Principal of Warwick High School SUPERVISORY STAFF Mrs. Sally Sheild Visiting Teacher Mrs. Sheild is our link between the home and the school. It is her job to visit the homes and talk with the parents. Many problems of the students are thus solved by discussion. Working with the parents in this way, she is often able to reach the root of a pupil’s poor attendance and erase it. Working with the Guidance Department has also been one of her duties. She has helped many students with their questions of the future. As if this were not enough, she does much welfare work in Warwick County. Mrs. Sheild has proven to be a good teacher, Mr. Thomas L. Martin and Mrs. Sally Sheild guide and friend. i Mr. Thomas L. Martin Director of Instruction in Warwick County Mr. Martin helps both the students and faculty of Warwick High. He makes the teachers’ problems his problems, for it is his job to help the teachers in their capacity of teaching by observing the classes and advising courses of activity. This being only one of his many duties in directing the instruction in Warwick County, Mr. Martin is always on the move. THE SCHOOL BOARD The School Board of Warwick County was reorganized five years ago. Since then it has done one of the most important jobs in the community. It is one requiring foresight and knowledge, for the success of tomorrow rests largely on the shoulders of the students of today. The programs and activities of the school are greatly determined and influenced by the School Board. To them we owe our greatly expanded school and it is through them that th e students of Warwick are receiv- ing a better education than ever before. PRINCIPALS A student wants his schedule changed, another wants permission to leave school, and still another has been dispatched by his teacher, after a verbal dispute, to a higher authority. Where are these stu- dents? Waiting to see Mr. Cox, of course. Well- meaning parents who cannot seem to understand their offspring’s low grades, must have a private consulta- tion with Mr. Cox. Meanwhile, some forgetful student either loses the key to his locker or forgets his combina- tion. Who can open it? Mr. Davis is always called upon. These day-by-day duties are but a small percent of the many duties and problems which are presented in the running of a large school such as Warwick High School. Mr. Cox, our principal, and Mr. Davis, our assistant principal, have done their duties well — and beyond the call of duty. Through their untiring efforts, they have won the friendship, admiration and respect of students and faculty alike. P T A EXECUTIVE BOARD The P. T. A. Executive Board has done much to help bring a closer relation between the homes of our community and the school itself. By preparing interesting programs, it has carried forward much work for the P. T. A. This year many prominent speakers came before the as- sociation to speak on the various phases of our church, home and school life. Dr. Paul Buckles, of the First Presbyterian Church in Newport News, and Judge Herbert Smith, judge of the Corporation Court of Newport News, were two of the outstanding local speakers. With the combined efforts of other community associations they acquired J. Ogden Nash, noted educator, author and poet; Judge Odessa Bailey, formerly of the Roanoke Juvenile Court, and Dean Rosecrantz, of Columbia University. They also helped sponsor “College Night” for students in the ninth through the twelfth grades. Mr. Clarence A. Davis, Assistant Principal and Mr. George IV.

For nine months out of a year, five days out of a week, from 8:45 a. m. until 3:15 p. m., our lives at Warwick are filled with classes. The purpose of these classes is to instruct stu- dents in the many subjects offered in our school. Consequently, this is the most important part of our school life, for the main objective of a school is to educate. To an outsider, having forgotten or missed his high school days, classes may seem to be a monotonous routine. Oh, sure, we all get tired sometimes, teachers included, but in these days of modern education there are various ways in which our interests are en- couraged. Few of us will ever forget that field trip we took to our State Capital with our Govern- ment Class. . . And the fun the girls had serving their first real dinner party in Home Ec. Of course, they had the dishes afterwards. . . The boys in Shop tried to outdo each other making all kinds of gadgets. . . Those Biology notebooks were really something, all those grasshoppers and everything. . . The whole school will remember the day the Chemistry Class made sulphur; it had such a peculiar odor. . . A continual rivalry lasted the year through between the teams formed in Gym Class. . . . The endless headaches we all suffered over those meaningless angles in Geometry; how easy it was when the light dawned, at last! ... In Typing Class, there was the never-ending battle with the chart; trving to beat your own record. . . Art Class was ...CLASSES always fun and if our pictures were good enough they were put in the front hall for all to admire (or criticize) . . . We all enjoyed reading books for English Class, but we were glad when those reports were over. . . In Journalism Class there was always that mad scramble; meeting deadlines, getting ads, getting subscriptions, and staying out of the red. . . Our French linguists went around “ Parlez vous-ing”while our modern-day Romans recited “Amo, amas, amat.” . . In History Class, we fought the whole Civil War over again; this time the Confederates won! . . . ’Tisn’t possible to present a year’s classes on two pages. We’ve all had fun, though, and will be returning next year for more of the same, except for those lucky stiffs we speak of in hushed tones — “Seniors.” ' Oops, gotta go now! The bell’s ringing for my next class. . . CLASS OF ' 50 OFFICERS Walter Wildman President Mike Piland Vice President FIelen Davis Secretary Ann Ogburn Treasurer On a warm September morning, five years ago, our class began its venture into high-school life. Let us go back to that memorable day when the divergent streams of many became as one in desire and opportunity. That year marked the beginning of many “firsts.” Simultaneous was the initial appearance of a capable principal, and of a band, the formation of which was greeted enthusiastically by all students. We began to feel like adventurers; we were treading on new territory and experiencing new sensations: changing classes, football games, pep rallies, assemblies, assemblies of the newly formed S. C. A., basketball games, the Flalloween Carnival, and May Day. We took on the prestige of important “statesmen”; ours was the class to launch a five-year term in Warwick High School. A second September came and we became worldly ninth graders, intent upon carrying on the glory of our Alma Mater. Some of the activities of that year were: . M. S. Pinafore (operetta put on by the Glee Club), Career Day and the Band’s trip to Winchester. Our Sophomore year approached and we became a more ambitious and active group. Two of our classmates were elected to the May Court; we all recall the hard work put forth in sponsor- ing an unforgettable “Prom.” That year also, the school name changed from Morrison to the distinguished appellation of Warwick. We became Juniors and began to feel more like leaders. As there were only a few seniors in this odd year, we felt like seniors, and perhaps acted like them. Suddenly, we were Seniors, the leaders and organizers of high-school life. We began to think of the debt we owed to our school and of our inability to pay it. This year will be unforgettable to us all: The nostalgia of the busy days preceding graduation — Graduation Night — Baccalaureate Night — these memories will live with us always. We feel that we have accomplished much — and yet so much has been left undone. We can only look forward to the abyss-like future with hope and sincerity, leaving our successors that which is always present— abundant opportunity for all those who take advantage of it. 4 12 )• CLASS OF ' 50 Mary Abrams Charles Allen Joyce Barger Rex Adams Pat Altwegg Thomas Baynes Ann Allen Gladys Baptist Lucy Beasley 13 CLASS OF ' 50 Nancy Bloxom Dottie Burcher Robert Powell Cassidy Peggy Brunk Carrie Call Leon Chrisman Ernest Brenkman Evelyn Burns Florence Chrisman William Brushwood Eva Carter Joyce Clark 4 14 CLASS OF ' 50 Donald Collins Colleen Virginia Craig Fred Carr Davis, Jr. Rita Cooke Catherine Curtis Kenneth DeLappe Rufus Davis Collins Marguarite Crossen Helen Davis Georgia Corbett James Curtis Lois Dickey 4 15 f CLASS OF ' 50 Delores Dwyer James Forrest Jane Frost Norma Jean Endler Wilbur Lee Fox Virginia Louise Gibson Walter Earl Herndon Fowler Walter Glover Garner Mary Ferguson Kenneth Fox Sarah Gary Hamilton 4 16 }■ CLASS OF ' 50 Robert Chester Haugton Jean Hopkins Nelson Curtis Johnson Paula Gertrude Hill Robert Merrill Hurd Doris Odie Jones William Curtis Henley, Jr. William Lee Hudson Jean Walton Johnston Fred S.

We come to school, not only to gain book knowledge, but to develop our per- sonalities. Warwick High offers us these activities. The prospective actors, musicians, scientists, jour- nalists and leaders have an opportunity to follow their interests as well as the groups who enjoy working and playing together. ✓ ♦ ACTIVITIES “ Welcome to Warwick — This is the greeting offered by Rill Turner , president of the Student Coopera- tive Association, to Wally Garner and Robert Man- gum, eighth grade presi- dent and vice president. The S. C. A. tries to make the new students of our school feel at home in their new school. STUDENT COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION Mr. Clarence A. Davis Faculty Advisor The S. C. A. of Warwick High School, the most important organization in the high school, was inaugurated in 1945-46. It was brought into being in order to promote a better feeling of cooperation between the faculty and students, and to promote democratic ideals in the individual. In the spring of the year officers are nominated and parties are formed. After election begins the work that results in the election of the officers for the following year. It is an honor and a privilege to become elected and any one so honored should be well qualified and proud to serve the students who have elected him. First Row, Left to Right: Bill Turner, Betty Islin, Ann McLean, Glover Garner, Mike Piland, Bobby Cassidy, Walter Lowe and Bill Newell Second Row: Mr. C. A. Davis, Irving Fuller, Tommy Atkins, Stuart Atkinson, Walter Wildman and Edwin Chauncey 4 46 The S. C. A. is composed of two houses. The Executive Council is made up of the class officers and the officers of the S. C. A. The Congress is made up of all home-room presidents and secretaries. All complaints and suggestions are supposed to come to this group. Here they are discussed and plans are made from these ideas. This year, our school played hosts to the District S. C. A. meeting. It was held in the spring in our new auditorium. A group of students have taken up the job of revising our constitution and the Congress has been busy working on the prospect of establishing an honor system in our school. The S. C. A. and its activities are a success only when they are backed by the entire student body. “ The Band Played On as the King , Bobby Beaver, and the Queen. Jean Johnston , glided across the floor. This charming couple reigned over the annual Christ- mas Dance. They were chosen by a committee of chaperons for their gracefulness and poise on the dance floor.

Pat, as green as the rest of us, proved her executive ability and also her ability to work; she gave assignments left and right and then pounded the streets along with all of us, selling ads. Her work was never-ending; she had a part in every stage of The Warwick from pasting pictures to writing copy. The publication of The Warwick was her goal for 1950. Holding The Warwick’s purse strings was Freda. All incoming money went to her and she signed all our checks. Handling our finances as a veteran banker, Freda was really an asset in more ways than one. Her balancing of the books was a job and a job well done. The staff of The Warwick worked under the guidance and direction of Miss Betsy Elliott. A new teacher this year, she soon engulfed us with her enthusiastic plans and suggestions. She worked faithfully, cheering us on when we sometimes came to a temporary discouragement and applauding us when we accomplished some task. Although our job was a hard one and our experience lacking, we published The Warwick; Miss Elliott was our advisor.

Assistants Circulation Managers A group lacking in experience, but overflowing with confidence, met Miss Elliott’s eye on that first September morning. The election of a staff was followed by the creation of a very rough draft of The Warwick in its infant stage. At this time, we had many grand and great ideas which would make our annual the best in the history of the school. Higher than our grand ideas was the expense. Our bitterest lesson of experience: A budget is supposed to balance. To have a budget at all, we needed money. The money, we found, was not going to be given to us. We had to work for it. We did; we got subscriptions from the students and we sold ads. Following the ads, there seemed to be a grand conglomeration of ad slips, letters to advertisers, checks, cuts and the actual drawing of the ads. We were learning. Then a master picture schedule of the stu- dents in Warwick High School was made and the photographer began. There were other “klicks” heard also. The whole school (well, practically) waited impatiently one sunshiney October morning for the arrival of our belated photographer . . . his car had broken down. Then on a cold, bleak December afternoon, the football team turned ice blue in their nice new nylon uniforms, while individuals were “shot” and the temperature fell. Room 203, from this time on, was filled with pictures, paste, drawings, cardboard, dummy sheets and scribblings “on the wall” of figures which always came out with that red tinge. By February, our deadline, some of us began to feel a little dead ourselves. The time was so near and our finish line seemed so far. Was it worth it? We think so, and hope our readers find their expectations fulfilled in The Warwick of 1950. 4 4.9 Co-Editors Fred Davis and Robert Gray The Sponge , Warwick High’s bi-monthly news- paper, has been published by the students of our high school for the past twelve years. The Journalism Class, under the direction of Miss Mary Helmer, comprised the entire staff. The main objective of The Sponge is to keep the students and interested citizens informed of the activities of the school. The first step in preparing The Sponge is the collection of all possible topics for news stories, editorials and features. These topics are then assigned by the editor to various members of the staff. These people, after interviewing the correct persons and collecting material from various other sources, write up their stories and turn them in by the “deadline.” The stories are then edited, corrected, typed and sent to the printer. The printer soon returns the proof. It is corrected and a headline is written for each story. The next step is the “make-up,” which is the assignment of a definite position for every article. The last step is returning the proof and “make-up” sheets to the printer. Soon The Sponge, a finished product, is ready to be dis- tributed. There is a great deal of work involved in putting out The Sponge every other week; there’s a great deal of fun, too.

C. A. appointed an Usher Committee to consider applications of all students interested in becoming school ushers. From the applications eight boys and eight girls, who rated above average in citizenship and scholarship, were chosen to act as official hosts and hostesses of our school for one year. Mrs. Sarah Geddy was chosen as Usher Advisor. Some of the many activities of the Ushers were ushering for May Day, assemblies, football games, College Night, the Operetta, plays and for all important school functions. They have done an excellent job of promoting orderly and efficient school assemblies and in greeting school visitors in a courteous manner. Truly, the School Ushers have contributed greatly toward presenting Warwick High School as a friendly and courteous school. WARWICK PLAYHOUSE “On stage, everybody!” The familiar ring of this phrase is often heard at Warwick. The Warwick Playhouse is an organization for those people interested in the advancement of drama in our school. Mr. Simeon P. Taylor III is sponsor. The Club’s main objectives are to promote dramatics in the school, to raise standards of the theatre in the community, and to present plays. z • A i- Vi L M - ' Bu !

It was formed to give the students of Warwick High School an opportunity to participate and receive instruction in instrumental music. In July they represented the Virginia State Lions Club in the parade of Lions International, which was held in New York. Their performance proved their worthiness of such an honor. They played at all football games and received a flag from American Legion Post No. 255. March was the date of their annual Spring Concert. Three of its members played in the All-State Band. ■Cf 52 ) - Left to Right: Delbert Shifflett , Carlton Shockley, Sandra Snyder, Virginia Fox, Fat Roper, Janice Wilkins, Dottie Burcher, Jean Ball, Barbara Klink, Wilma Salmon MAJORETTES We are proud of our high-stepping majorettes; they have lent much color to our already picturesque band. Dot- tie Burcher, the head majorette, leads the pace, guiding them in actions re- quiring dexterity and grace. In the 1949 Apple Blossom Festival, these eye-catching lassies won a trophy for their commendable perform- ance. Delbert Shifflett is our able drum major. INTERMEDIATE BAND “I thought the band marched first period.” Many students have wondered who could be marching third period, for the music sounded almost professional. They were hearing the Intermediate Band. This band has made big strides this year under the direction of Mr. Bowers. Acquiring uniforms for the first time, they marched at all our Junior Varsity football games and made a fine showing for themselves. They also marched at the first Midget Bowl Game, held in our stadium.

MAY 4 66 fa COURT •$ 67 fc - SENIOR Walter Glover Garner, known as Glover to his friends, entered this world on February 4, 1933. He moved to Brandon Heights at an early age and his pre-high school days were spent attend- ing Hilton Elementary School. Upon entering Warwick High School, Glover immediately be- gan taking part in school ac- tivities and has been doing so ever since. He has consistently been a predominant figure in both sports and school organi- zations. He was a member of the Monogram Club, English Club and Glee Club. He served as President of the Latin Club, President of the Junior Class, President of the Key Club and Vice President of the S. C. A. The honor of attending Boys’ State as Warwick’s representa- tive was conferred on him in J 948. Glover’s career in athletics has been varied as well as outstanding. Co-captain of the football team this year, his offensive and defensive play won him a berth on the All-Tidewater Team and the title of Warwick’s most outstanding linesman. He has long been one of the Farmers’ sharp-shooting hoopsters, playing basketball for four years. Tennis being another of his fields, in 1948 and 1949 Glover was the Peninsula Junior Singles Champion; in 1949, also on the champion doubles team. Plans for the future, at present, are indefinite in Glover’s mind. However, his ability to win friends and accomplish his purpose will surely make him a success in whatever profession he chooses. Pat Altwegg, editor of our annual, The Warwick, who has a friendly smile, executive ability and originality, was born May 6, 1932, at Buxton Hospital. She lived in Morrison till she was five and then moved to James River Drive where she lives. Before coming to Warwick High School, Pat attended Hilton Elementary School. Since she has been at Warwick, Pat has taken an active part in school affairs. In her first year of high school she won second prize for collecting the second largest number of books in a book week contest, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Warwick County. Further on in her high school career, Pat played on the girls’ basketball team. Pat has taken an active part in the Glee Club, served as secre- tary of the Latin Club, and was a Herald on the May Court. She was also a member of the S. C. A. Congress, English Club, B. F. Club and worked on the Sponge Staff. Her favorite subject is history. Last year she won an Honorable Mention Writing Award for a short story she entered in a writing contest sponsored by the Daily Press-Times Herald. Upon graduation Pat is going to become a teacher. She has chosen as her Alma Mater, Longwood College, in Farmville, Virginia. We know Pat will succeed in all her undertakings be- cause one with such charming personality and abilities cannot fail.

During her five years at Warwick High School, her favorite subjects have been English and Choir. After graduation, “Betty Boop” is planning to attend Madison College at Harrisonburg, in pre- paration for a career of teaching. We know that “Betty Boop” will always be as sweet as she is. We wish her the best in everything; she deserves it. Fred Davis, a highly intelligent person with a bright smile, the boy most likely to succeed, was born January 22, 1933, at Riverside Hospital in Newport News. Living in Newport News for only a few years, his family moved to their present address in Rivermont. The first seven years of his school career were spent in Hilton Elementary School. With the other senior leaders, Fred has taken part in various ac- tivities of our school. He belongs to the Debating Club, Latin Club, Klick Club, Spanish Club and served as a homeroom officer. He is Secretary-Treasurer of the Key Club. Handling the job of co-editor and news editor of The Sponge very efficiently, Fred has played D an important role in publishing our school paper. Because of his high scholastic rating and ability as a student, he was selected as one of the marshals for the graduating exercises in 1948, and m also “Student of the Week” for the week of January 8, 1950. Fred’s main hobbies are photography and stamp collecting; his favorite subject is science. When he graduates, Fred plans to take a pre-med course at Hampden-Sydney College, where he will begin his education toward becoming a doctor. We wish Fred the best of luck in achieving his goal, but with Fred failure is almost impossible. Left to Right: Shirley Staples, Arthur Grist, Gloria Rhine- smith, Martha Smith, Norman Morgan Miss Margaret Thomas and Miss Carol Ann Forrest OFFICE STAFF The Office Assistants are under the super- vision of the principal’s secretary, Miss Margaret Thomas, and bookkeeper, Miss Carol Ann Forrest. These office workers are kept very busy mimeographing, typing, delivering messages, taking telephone mes- sages and filing. These are only a few of the many things they are expected to do. Preferably, they are required to know typing and be able to take dictation. Al- though they are chosen from study halls, there is at least one assistant for each period. Volunteers are also accepted. THE LIBRARY The Library at Warwick High School is for the convenience of students and faculty alike, offering books for reference as well as pleasure. Under Mrs. Harmon, librarian, great gains have been made this year. A larger card catalogue has been added in order to file the 500 new books and the 6,000 books that were already in the Library. From these an average of 125 books are borrowed daily by the estimated 350 students who fill the large Library room each day. The fine of two cents a day, charged for overdue books, helps pay for book replacements and Library extras. The library assistants are chosen from the applications of interested students. Their work, which ranges from filing and book arranging to typing and bookbinding, offers an excellent oppor- tunity for learning the structure of a library. Recommendations for new books or improvements are welcomed from both students and faculty.

It affords the students a place to eat their midday meal and serves them with varying plate lunches, sandwiches, milk and ice cream. On the average, the Cafeteria staff serves three hundred plate lunches daily and one hundred and fifty sandwiches. This staff is headed by Mrs. Royall, our able dietitian. It is her job to plan the plate lunches and to keep a supply of all food on hand. She does her work well and efficiently, serving the students with appetizing and well-balanced meals. Working under her as cashiers are Mrs. Ruby Williams and Mrs. Ruby Robinson. Also on her staff are eleven cooks and a “runner,” who is a student. After serving for two hours and ten minutes, their work is not yet done. For then they clean the tables and mop the floors. The next morning they wipe the tables and the seats of the chairs. This is a daily routine and is done to give the students a clean Cafeteria. This is a well-run Cafeteria, of which all should be proud. To keep it that way, the students of Warwick should show their appreciation by cooperating to the fullest extent. Cooks CLINIC During the past year, most of us can say we have been to the clinic. Any period you pass by, you are bound to see at least three students who are extremely ill, or seem to be. The Clinic is sometimes used as an excuse to get out of class. . . Once you have tried some of their medicine you will think twice before feigning illness again. If you are really sick, our Clinic is well equipped to take care of any emergencies. It is headed by an efficient nurse, who is in the Clinic first and sixth periods. This year Mrs. Kramer was our nurse the first part of the year and Mrs. Walters was our nurse the second part of the year. Many thanks to the nurses in white who cured all our ills, no matter how small. 4 72 LIFE AT WARWICK What makes a high school — its courses, administration, location or size? We believe that all these are contributing factors, but the students are the deciding one. They are the ones who make a school good or bad and they are the ones who make the activities. At every dance there are two or three couples who seem to have that special graceful knack for dancing. There’s always that group of freshmen who follow that special football hero; they form their own little fan club. Of course, it’ll be someone else when the season changes, but “live and let live.” That goes for the ever-present “steadies” also. The thrill of a high school career is the Junior-Senior Prom, the Senior Play and, at last, Graduation to the strains of “Land of Hope and Glory.” All these are the beating of Warwick’s pulse. Only those who have felt this beating know the joy of high school life. Cl 73 fc Our first game was muddy. It really rains in Emporia. Everyone was very bedraggled, espe- cially the cheerleaders. Remember the Newport News game when we waited two hours to get inside the stadium so we could get a good seat? When we did get in, we couldn’t even get one on the five-yard line. How about the time it started out as a beautiful evening? When the whistle blew to end the game, we were practically soaked to the skin. The cheerleaders did a wonderful job in leading our cheers and were boosted along by “Mr. All the Way.” He was an important factor of every football game. At the half of every football game, how “sharp” the band looked as they marched out on the field amid the cheers of the fans . . . and, as their balloons rose in the air, we held our breath as they faded from view. Granby game — that night was one of the coldest in Warwick’s football history. And what a thrill! Our coach, Bob Steckroth, received as a gift from the citizens of Warwick a new grey Plymouth. We were proud of our deserving and outstanding coach. This year’s basketball team, under the leadership of Coaches Formichelli and Steckroth, heartily defended the honor of the maroon and gold. Playing a fully planned schedule, they lived up to their code, showing to all their good sportsmanship and teamwork. Expecting the few under- standable losses, our team gave a commendable performance and we are proud of them. ♦ ♦ ♦ SPORTS The baseball team is supposed to be one of the best ever at Warwick High. Seven lettermen made up the nucleus of the team, led by leftfielder and Captain Kenneth Fox, and First Baseman Joe Guy. Warwick boasts a strong infield of Guy, Slye at second, Ben Akers, a newcomer and long ball hitter at shortstop, and Jack Crain at third. The power at the plate is only fair, but once started should prove disastrous to opposing pitchers. The outfield is fine defense and the catching is mediocre. The pitching chores will fall heavily on the shoulders of “Lefty” Charles Bullock and Right Hander Jimmy McCarron. The batting punch will be greatly assisted by “Slugging” A1 Stafford and “Kinky” Fox. All in all, the Warwick team should give a good account of itself in the coming campaign. As spring approached, the cinder lads appeared to prove their mettle. With a number of letter- men returning, there was plenty of experience to cope with the invaders who tried to gain victories from the “Fighting Farmers.” Although the season is incomplete as we go to press we predict a very thrilling season full of excitement and new talent. CHEER LEADERS Varsity Co-Captains Jean Johnston and Adrian Roper The rah-rah girls in white skirts, maroon sweaters and big white “W’s” for the past two years have been seen cheering madly for their Alma Mater. The Cheerleaders’ job is to create more school spirit and to back all sports. They are chosen in the spring of every year by a faculty committee. They must meet the following qualifications: personal appearance, posture, ability to lead, voice, jump, agility, attitude and self-confidence. Pep assemblies are led by the Cheerleaders to increase the students’ and team’s spirit for victory. “Ray, Rah, Warwick!” Left to Right: Ann Forbes, Cora Smith, Adrian Roper, Jean Johnston, Jean Matthews. Betty Islin, Dot tie Lyliston 4 76 } CHEER LEADERS Junior Varsity Co-Captains Jean Howell and Betty Hockaday Warwick now boasts a Junior Varsity Squad of Cheerleaders. Cheering at J. V. football and basketball games, these girls have shown as much pep and sparkle as our Varsity Cheerleaders. Dressed entirely in white with gold “W’s,” they make a “sharp” appearance. Filling absences of the Varsity Squad, they will eventually take their permanent positions there. The J. V. Cheerleaders are something new at Warwick this year, but from all aspects they’re here to stay! Left to Right: Mary Ruth Bunch, Jean Howell , Nancy Wood.

L T sing the single-wing forma- tion for the first time, it proved effective to the score of 24 — 12. September 23 — Mount Vernon was our next opponent and a handful of Warwick fans watched Warwick score the one and only touchdown during the last quarter. Final score, 7 — o. September 30 — Our first home game was one which thrilled our fans. George Washington, who had handed us a 39 — o defeat last year, bowed before our single-wing to the tune of 13 — 6. October 7 — For a while the outcome of the Norview game appeared uncertain. Warwick finally saw their unbeaten team triumph over their opponents, 19 — 12.

October 22— Held scoreless in a hard-fought battle, Warwick was forced to take a bitter defeat of 15 — o from the Newport News “Typhoons. October 28 — Back in the winning streak again, Warwick was victorious over our visitors from Danville, 13 — o. November 4 — Hampton showed its strength and ability by outscoring the “Farmers, 28 — o. Although showing up well against the “Crabbers in the first few minutes of play, the remainder of the game belonged to Hampton. Coaches Robert Steckroth, Romie Hamil- ton, William Formichelli November ii — Journeying to Suffolk, the “Farmers again tasted defeat. Raiders were on the winning end of a 7 — o score. “The Red November 19 — Our last game was played in our own stadium. Granby’s “Comets gained a slim and hard-fought victory of 9 — 7 over the “Farmers. Farmers Cover Territory 79 Keith Melton Keith, the largest boy on our team, was also among the best. His competent ball handling and timely blocks helped Warwick’s aggression greatly. As a senior, this was his last year of football. Joe Guy Our talented quarterback and signal caller, Joe, did much to add to Warwick’s football fortune. Although he seldom carried the ball, his blocking was com- mended by the whole team. Al Stafford A1 is our other big end who is known for his pass-catching ability and fine defensive play. Al is a senior, playing his last season this year. Horace “Big Boy” Edwards Another big tackle, Horace deserves much credit. His work, although not too publicized, was important and well done. He has one more year of football ahead of him. Robert “Bobby” Beaver Bobby is another good punter and passer. Best known, however, for his running, his consecutive gains around ends and through the middle were a large part of Warwick’s offense. Thomas “Tommy” Feamster Tommy is one of Warwick’s two big ends. His defensive play was the pride of the “Farmers.” He has still another year of high school sports ahead of him. “Flipping the Coin” Who will receive and which will be our goal? Simple questions decided by the flip of the coin. Once again, the Warwick co-captains, Glover Garner and “Kinky” Fox, anxiously await the verdict. This was the Newport News game; the odds seemed to be against us that night. “Mr. All the Way” (Donnie Colgan) The cheerleaders had the students yelling; Donnie had everybody yelling “All the Way.” With his maroon shirt and cap, and his gold trousers, he was Warwick’s most active and beloved fan. From one end of the field to the other, his “All the Way, All the Way,” had all of Warwick’s citizens backing their team as never before. The role of “Mr. All the Way” was born at the Mount Vernon game as a joke. Soon, however, Donnie became a permanent part of our football games; we hope he will remain. Noel Simpson Noel is the youngest on our team. Our opponents soon began to beware of his vicious line play and defensive work. Noel has three more years of football. Kenneth “Kinky” Fox Co-Captain Kenneth Fox carried a large share of Warwick’s offense. His excellent punting got Warwick out of holes time after time and his passing was sharp and very effective. Many yards were gained by his outstanding running. Glover Garner Glover Garner, our big guard and co- captain, is among the best. His sterling offensive and defensive play earned him a first-string All-Tidewater berth. A senior this year, he was chosen the out- standing linesman of the team. Walter “Mr. Outside” Wildman Walter Wildman was the “Mr. Out- side” of the Warwick football team. His consistent gains around end were a great help to the “Farmers’ ” offensive. Walter is said to be Warwick’s greatest runner. Jack “Pinoke” Williams “Pinoke,” the smallest member of the Warwick team, was our center. He made up for his lack in size by being a stalwart in our forward wall. His centers were sharp and accurate. Ralph “Ripper” Parker Ralph was Warwick’s plunging full- back. Although “Ripper,” as he was so nicknamed for his ferocious line plung- ing, is small, he carried a man-sized share of Warwick’s gridiron fortune. His playing received the award of an Honorable Mention of the All-State team and he was chosen as the outstanding backfield man of our team. JUNIOR VARSITY Football } e . want a touchdown!

Warwick opened its 1949-50 season in a very convincing man- ner, mauling Poquoson High, 48 to 18. Baines showed the way for the Maroon and Gold, swishing in seven field goals for a total of 14 points. In an excellently played game, Warwick won a well-deserved victory from Matthew Whaley ' s “Governors.” Behind at the halftime, the “Farmers,” led by six-feet-plus Tommy Feamster and little “Pinoke” Williams, who netted 12 points each, found the range and won, 48 — 36. Warwick took its first defeat at the hands of one of the Eastern District’s top cage quints, Woodrow Wilson, 62 to 33. Garner and Feamster shared scoring honors with eight points each. Warwick dropped its second suc- cessive contest to a strong Granby combine, led by All-State Candidate “Lefty” Driesell, who hooped 24 points in two quarters’ playing. Baines led the “Farmers’ ” attack by swishing in three field goals and two foul shots for a total of eight points. Warwick stepped out of the Con- ference to play a highly regarded Hope- well quint. Hopewell, after a hard- fought contest, won over the “Farm- ers,” 48 to 28. Glover Garner netted seven points to lead the “Farmer” attack. In a peninsula feud, the Newport News “Typhoons,” paced by Center BASKETBALL Harold Jones, clapped Warwick, 50 to 31. Garner and Baines each netted six points for the “Farmers.” For their first Conference win, the Warwick cagers outplayed the Cradock “Admirals” for a well-deserved score of 38 to 35. Six-foot-six-inch Center Tommy Feamster displayed rare form in racking up 17 points. In another peninsula “ family feud,” the “ Crabbers,” of Hampton High School, outplayed the Warwick five for a 51 to 39 victory. Tom Petty led the Maroon and Gold assault with 11 points. After a close ball game, the Maury “Commodores” barely nudged the fast-improving “Farmer” team, 52 to 44. Guard Petty again displayed his hoop- ing talent by making 10 points. In a return engagement with the “Presidents,” of Woodrow Wilson, the Warwick cagers bowed to the visitors from across the James, 68 to 42. Hugh Mahanes, a promising sophomore, netted 12 points, displaying his hook-shot talent. Warwick dropped a return bout with Maury, 51 to 44. Mahanes showed the way with 14 points. Hopewell again soundly trounced Warwick by a count of 52 to 35. Tom Feamster dropped in 15 tallies for the Warwick cagers. Warwick finally came out of its doldrums to edge a good Norview quint, 48 to 46. Glover Garner displayed spectacular shooting, swishing in 19 points. Newport News, smarting from a defeat at the hands of Woodrow Wilson’s “Presidents,” took it out on Warwick. The “Farmers” were given a 54 to 27 shellacking. After a close first quarter which saw Newport News on top 13 to 10, the “Typhoons” slowly began to pull away. Garner again led the “Free Staters,” scoring 11 points.
