WARWICK JUNIolHIGH SCHOOL Newport News, Virginia nineteen hundreB and fifty-nine I IT was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way-. . .

Joseph jb -Amott It whom we yr eat ly respect 3 THE SPACE MAN’S VISIT This must have been the first view of Warwick Junior High School as seen by Wubby. He couldn ' t have come any other way. It was autumn, 1958 Dick Allerton, eighth grader from homeroom 121, had just been named editor-in-chief of Junior High ' s first yearbook. The journalism class, which made up the staff, was all set, eager to get started with the annual. But it was no easy matter to decide just how to tell the story of Junior High. True, it was an interesting story, full of human interest. What slant to take, what theme, what to empha- size, where to start. ...these questions had to be answered. Then Wubby appeared on the scene. No- body was quite sure where he came from, or how he got to Junior High. He just seemed to appear, like an idea. From the looks of him, he must have come from outer space. And if he did, he must have got a good look at Junior High from this angle before swooping down into the journalism room. One day, in journalism class, while Dick was try- ing to figure out just how to get started with the annual, Wubby suddenly appeared, and tapped the editor-in-chief on the shoulder. Dick was so surprised when he turned and saw Wubby that he threw his hands up and, for a minute, just stood there staring. Then all the members of the journalism class crowded around Wubby and began to ask all kinds of questions. But first Wubby said that he had come to find out all he could about the school. A little later, Wubby and Dick got to talking. Communication was a problem at first, but when they learned the trick they had no trouble at all. Wubby wanted to know all about Junior High. 6 WUBBY SEEKS ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROGRAM” HERE AT JUNIOR HIGH As Dick and Wubby became more acquainted, Dick learned that, officially”, Wubby wasn ' t Wubby at all. He was WUXXX IV. But Dick, being a neighborly sort of earthling, agreed to call his visitor Wubby - for short. Wubby wanted to see the school, he said. He wanted to find out what was being done here, and why. So Dick explained some things for Wubby. The whole idea, he told Wubby, is that in our country, here on this planet, we believe that every man should be able to live a happy, useful life, guided by decisions he himself makes. Now being able means, first, that every man should have opportunities, and, second, that every man should have the training and experience necessary to make a good life for himself. So for 12 earth-years, while people are still young, we have schools, so that when boys and girls are ready for adult life, they are able ; able to earn a living, able to make wise choices, able to live at peace with themselves and with other people, able to contribute to the progress and development of society, able to continue work in colleges and universities - all according to individual wishes and abilities. Junior High, said Dick, covers just two school years, the eighth and the nineth. This year 725 eighth graders and 700 nineth graders enrolled in the school. ' Til tell you what, Dick suggested. Come with me and take a good long look at our school. Before anyone can really appreciate it, he has to understand what we are trying to do and how we go about getting the job done. Only when one begins to understand can he begin to appreciate. Let me take you to our leader, Dick said. So they went to the office to meet the principal. i Mr. Joseph D. Amott This is our Principal. We are very proud of our faculty, and we believe that no school, anywhere, can boast of better supervision, or better instruction, than Warwick Junior High. Everybody knows that the principal must set the pace for the entire faculty of a given school. Through his leadership, the teachers are bonded into an effective team - if the principal is to get the best results. And Mr. Amott has succeeded in that. He came to Junior High when the school was established in September, 1956, and with no assistant, proceeded to set the course for a large, new school. From all sides, the compliments have come. Smoothly and surely the school has made the kind of reputation that lets all concerned feel proud. Students at Junior High behave well, stick to the business of academic accom- plishment, and when they play they play with the honest enjoyment that only the happy youth can know. The school, and its accomplishments, the attitudes of the students, and the quality of instruction, speak volumes in favor of Mr. Amott. And here is what he has to say about the school. THE PRINCIPAL HAS THIS TO SAY ABOUT OUR SCHOOL I welcome this opportunity to give you an insight into the operation of our junior high school. All of us here are extremely proud of our modern building with the very newest in facilities and equipment. We are conscious of the intent and purpose of these surroundings and strive to use them for the enrichment and fulfillment of an educational program designed for the youth of our community. This program is carried on by a staff of 82, including teachers of English, mathematics, science, social studies, homemaking, music, industrial arts, Latin, journalism, art, drama, and physical education. We have, in addition to teachers, an office staff of four, a full-time nurse, two librarians, cafeteria personnel, and guidance services. The faculty and staff at this junior high school are dedicated to the ideal that young people searching for an education are to be directed and encouraged to obtain the fundamentals so necessary for life and the years of higher education ahead. We believe there are definite regulations concerning attendance, study, behavior, and dress, which have to be maintained in order to make easier the task of learning. Regular school attendance is most important in obtaining an education. Admost always a day missed from school is a day lost forever. There is a large amount of studying to be done, and we believe regular and prompt attention to study is to be stressed. Good behavior and proper dress are prerequisites for the educational setting to which each student is entitled. Our philosophy of education provides opportunities for satisfying the fundamental needs of all students in self-confidence, security, wholesome self-expression, achieve- ment, understanding, and service. We believe that youth needs to be trained in citizenship and family living in accordance with our American heritage, with an appreciation of the past and a sense of responsibility for the future. We strive to develop a sense of moral and ethical values, aesthetic appreciation, a respect for the dignity of work, and personal integrity. We expect, and insist upon, good work and study habits, as well as acceptable attitudes and ideals. We believe in the individual worth and dignity of each student, and feel that our program provides means for all to attain success. It is our fondest hope that we may stimulate and develop every student here to make creditable contributions to the community and the nation. 9 AFTER MEETING MR. AMOTT, WUBBY MAKES THE ROUNDS TO GET ACQUAINTED WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THE STAFF After Wubby had met Mr. Amott,Dick suggested that they get acquainted with the other people who are responsible for the operation of Junior High. You might be surprised to know, Wubby, that one doesn ' t have to be from ' outer space’ to be uninformed about our schools. We wish all our earth-people were more ' informed, and more interested, Dick said. For instance, many parents don ' t really know anything about our faculty. Here are the students, some 1400 strong, becoming acquainted with life, so to speak. Here is the place where ideas, ideals, abilities, character traits, and complexes are mass produced. That ' s a big order, Wubby, and the quality of the faculty determines how much or how little is accomplished, and how right or how wrong our progress is. All our people should know how effective our teachers are. They should know something about the long-range purposes teachers have in mind, and about the capabilities of these men and women for preparing young people to meet life ' s prob- lems. People should recognize the tremendous responsibilities these teachers have, and the tremendous influence teachers exert. You see, school is much more than just a place where boys and girls are ' looked-after ' a part of each day. Whether this is for good or bad depends upon the quality of teaching that takes place. So let ' s meet the teachers, and get at least a little information about each of them. 10 Here are our Assistant Principal, Mr. Jack M. Custer, and our school secretaries, Mrs. Joseph W. Mahanes, seated, and Miss Audrey Davis. Mr. Custer came to Junior High in 1957. He has B.S. and M. Ed. Degrees from the College of William and Mary, and before coming to Junior High he taught mathematics for five years at Warwick ' s senior high school. Mrs. Mahanes has done substitute teaching at Briarfield elementary school and has super- vised the Parkview playgound during the summ- er. Miss Davis was a secretary for two years at the senior high school before coming here when this school was established. She attended Madison College. These are our librarians, Mrs. Ernest J.

Mr. Nims teaches Latin; Mr. Hess, science; Mr. Bolick, civics; Mr. Bachman, mathematics. These five ladies are relaxing briefly in the women teacher ' s lounge. Shop talk, and ex- changes about homemaking spiced with just a wee bit of gossip now and then, help make the minutes spent here pleasant. On the left is Mrs. Donald E. Hess Jr., a mathematics teacher with an A.B. Degree from Knox College. In fact, all five of these ladies are mathematics teachers. Next to Mrs. Hess is Mrs. Melvin S. Anderson, who graduated from MadisonCollege with a B.S. Degree. She worked one year as a technical editor for NACA at Langley Field. Mrs. Israel Taback holds two B.S.

Now that you have met the teachers, Wubby, let ' s take a look and see the reasons why they are such important people, Dick continued. Schools are for boys and girls. All that is done here is done for boys and girls. In other words, Junior High exists only for the students. The whole business of teaching begins and ends with the needs of boys and girls. So now let ' s go and meet the students of Junior High. 17 So Dick and Wubby went out to visit with the stu- dents, and Wubby was received like a real celebrity. The more Wubby walked ar ound, the bigger the crowd got. This is what its like inside the classroom,” Dick told Wubby, as they peeked through the door of room 103 . And that ' s Miss Sandford at the teacher’s desk. We met her earlier with the English department.” 18 S.C.A Wubby, this is Ricky Thomasson, president of the Stu- dent Cooperative Association. Ricky won the election at the end of the 1957-58 school year and was initiated soon after. Ricky is on the Honor Roll, making all A ' s and B ' s. Also, he went to Newport News High School on December 5, for All-State Band tryouts. He was one of the four from this school that made it. Ricky Thomasson President These are our S.C.A. officers.

ARTICLE III PURPOSE The purpose of the Student Cooperative Association is to provide the training necessary for all students to become better citizens through participation in self- government, to promote closer relationships between the administration, the faculty, and the students, and to promote a general program which will advance the scholar- ship and the physical and moral welfare of the students. 20 Our school is run on an honor system. This is our Honor Council which acts as a check on students who disobey rules of the school. Sitting left to right are: Ricky Thomasson, chairman, and Bobby Sherman. Standing left to right are: Pat Davis, Janet Wilkinson, Miss Carolyn Jones, sponsor, and Armen Bush. Mr. Mariott, our superintendent of school buses This is Dr. R. O. Nelson our superintendent of in Newport News, talked at our Thanksgiving assembly schools in Newport News. He talked to us about youth about things we should be thankful for. growing up in an assembly. 21 Science Club From left to right; Charles Morris, vice-president; Terry Willis, vice-presi- dent; Becky Burgess, secretary; Billy Byrn, president; Mike Mears, planning com- mittee, Edward Correll, planning committee. Wubby, this is the Science Club. It devel- opes a further interest in fields of science among the boys and girls of the school. Every member has a special project which he discusses at the meetings. Speakers come to further interest in the projects chosen. .Some members working under supervision. Billy Bryn and Ben Lawton are doing an experi- ment while other members watch. 22 Civics Club The officers are left to right: president, Donald Granger; secretary, Janet Wilkinson. Bobby Brooks, vice-president, is not in the picture. Wubby and Dick walked down the hall until they came to room 202, where the Civics Club meets every other Tuesday after school. The two didn’t want to dis- turb the meeting so they just looked inside from the hall. Dick then began to explain to his friend about the club: Wubby, those are two officers, Donald and Janet, he said as he pointed to them. Over there is Mrs. Philip Hepner, the sponsor. The club was started in January and the purpose is to study the Civil War and Reconstruction days. Reports are made and movies are shown at the meetings. After pointing out other members and things of interest to Wubby, he and Dick continued looking through the school. Mrs. Philip H. Hepner Sponsor 23 he Greknomathian Club Here President Buddy Green is surrounded by members of the club as he draws a diagram on the board. Other members are, left to right, Ivan Mears, Marshall Carter, Joyce Flipse, Beryl Slayton, (then Buddy,) Louisa Wilson, Vivian Moberg, Billy Cox, Derric Fountain, Buddy Mitchell, Billy Byrns, Andrew Kowalski, Delmas Moore, and Edward Correl. The Greknomathian Club is an honorary mathematics club, composed of students who demonstrate special ability and interest. The group meets each Monday, right after school. Speakers from industrial organizations visit frequently to work with the group.

Lassi- ter, drama teacher, portrayed the Pied Piper. And here is Mr. Lassiter, along with the students in the play, getting themselves dressed for the parts they played. The drama department presented the play, mentioned above, and did several shorter pieces this year. All dramatic activities are under Mr. Lassiter’s direction. All students who take the course in dramatics at Junior High are given opportunities to participate in various ways with school productions. Mr. George Chavatel and Mr. Lee Montgomery are art teachers at Junior High, and they keep their students busy all year with a number of kinds of projects . Art rooms are literally filled with items which have been done by the students. Classes do work with clay, they do some sculpture, they paint, draw, sketch, and construct artistic pieces from all kinds of materials. Lower left: Mr. Chavatel and Mr. Montgomery discuss business.

Amott Chapter of The Future Homemakers of America Members of the local chapter of FHA presented a crystal bud vase and a red rose to Mrs. Joseph D. Amott during a visit to her home February 13, 1958. At that time, representatives of the chapter announced that the club would honor Mrs. Amott by naming the local chapter Ann M. Amott. PURPOSES OF FHA One of the best ways to understand what the Future Homemakers of America, as an organization, attempts to accomplish, is to look at the purposes of the club as outlined in the constitution: 1. To promote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking 2. To emphasize the importance of worthy home membership 3. To encourage democracy in home and community life 4. To work for good home and family life for all 5. To promote international good will 6. To foster the development of creative leadership in home and community life. 7. To provide wholesome individual and group recreation 8. To further interest in home economics FHA OFFICERS Officers for the school year 1958-59 pictured above are, from left to right, Paulette Capozzi, soug leader; Marshall Carter, parliamentarian; Patsy Miller, vice-president; Linda Brashear, sec- i etary, Beverly Whelless, president; Carole Lipscomb, treasurer; Peggy Barclay, reporter; and Joy Humphries, historian. Home ec girls Sandy McDonald, Merril Curtis, Reba Faubion, Betty Oliphant, Kathy Frost, Donna Stall- ings, and Joan Williams model hats decorated with homemaking items during a demonstration urging safety in the home. At Thanksgiving, FHA girls made cornucopiae for decorations in sev- eral places around school. The usual fruits of harvest time made good eat- ing as well as pretty decorations. Around the bake -sale table arran- ged by FHA members are Rosie Cherry, Carol Mabe, Susan Girton, Kay Nettles, and Flo Bleakly. The customer is not identified. 28 Homemaking Department Four teachers advise and coun- cil with girls of Junior High con- cerning the problems the students will some day meet as home- makers. The home ec department is a suite of five rooms including bed room, living room, sewing room, and two kitchens. Another phase of the homemaking business, and a very important one, concerns the matter of preparing meals. The home ec girls frequently prepare various kinds of food, and take advantage of the latest kitchen equip- ment with which the kitchens are furn- ished. In the picture above, Susan Thomas, Mildred Green, Karen King, and Patty Bammer seem to be a little uncertain about results. Joyce Cook, Billie Burgess, Helen Brant, Barbara Murray, Carol Rey- nolds and Delores Fleming begin les- son in sewing. One of the things taught in the de- partment concerns proper procedures for making a neat bed. In the picture above, Ruby Padgett, Betty Ward, and Kay Sommers try their hands at the task. 29 ■ - • Sure.... every group has rules. Wubby wanted to know about the rules and regulations we have at Junior High. Well,” said Dick, we think we are very fortunate in this respect. You see, we have an unusually fine faculty; we have a large student body but a very cooperative group. Students, or the majority of them, are proud of the reputation which the school has earned. So we do not need a great many rules and regulations. Also, every rule has a reason. There are no laws” at Junior High which are imposed just to satisfy the whim of someone in administration. For example, we do not chew gum here at Junior High. We do not because gum has a way of attaching itself to all sorts of inappropriate places. Perhaps our most interesting rules are actually unwritten laws concerning the manner of dress which we encourage. You know, it ' s funny, but people do tend to be- have according to how they are dressed. In the costume of a bum, a person acts like a bum; Sunday best” manners usually are displayed when one is appropriately dressed. And we have proved that being careful about our appearance has paid divi- dends. Student behavior at Junior High is something we can brag about. Other necessary rules concern tardiness, use of the library, absences from school, and other routine matters. The important thing, we think, is that with QUALITY a trademark at Junior High, we can hold rules to a minimum, and each of the existing rules has a very good reason behind it. It might be interesting, Dick told Wubby, to compare the rules we have in our school today with the rules that were common in earlier schools. Sometimes stu- dents think that school, and home too, restricts them too much. On the opposite page are some of the many rules and regulations, along with the punishments meted out for each infraction, which were in effect in a certain school 100 years ago. Let ' s take a look at them and compare them with rules of a modern school. 30 But back in the old days.... Following are some of the punishments set forth in the rules of Stokes County Academy of 1848. The number following each offense listed is the number of LASHES a student got for each offense: Boys and girls playing together, 4; Quareling, 4; Gambleing or Beting, 4; Playing at Cards at School, 10; Climbing for Every foot Over three feet up a tree, 1; Telling Lyes, 7; Telling Tales Out of School, 8; Nick-naming Each other, 4; Fighting Each other in Time of Books, 2; Swaring at School, 8; Blackgarding Each other, 6; For Misbehavior to Girls, 10; Going home with Each other without Leave of the Teacher, 4; for Drinking Spirituous Liquors at School, 8; Making Swings and Swinging on Them, 7; For Misbehaving when a Stranger is in the House, 6; For waring long fingernails, 2; for not Making a Bow when a Stranger Comes in or goes out, 3; For going to Girls ' Play Places, 3; Girls going to Boys ' Play Places, 2; Coming to School with Dirty Face and hands, 2; For Caling Each other Liars, 4; For Playing Bandy, 10; For Bloting your copybook, 2; For not making a Bow when you Go Out to Go Home, 2; For Weting Each other Washing at Play Time, 2; For Hollowing and Hooping Going Home, 3; For Throwing Anything Harder than your trab ball, 4; For Every Word you miss In your Hart Lesson, 1; For not Sahing yes Sir no Sir or yes Marm no Marm, 2; For Troubleing Each others Writing affares, 2; For not Washing at Play Time when going to Books, 4; For Going Playing about the Mill or Creek, 6; and for Going about the Bard or doing any mischief about the Place, 7. Yes, it is true that our school, like any organization, has its rules and regu- lations. But like all good organizations, our laws are designed for the benefit of the greatest number of students, and instead of making life miserable the rules we go by make life at Junior High pleasant and profitable. 31 ...and here is our cafeteria In spite of the fact that about 1400 people eat lunch here every school day, two shifts manage to get service quickly and easily with a minium of confusion. And the best part of the story is that the food is good, day in and day out. Then, on special days, turkey, chicken, and other delicious foods are served. And the line marches on Wubby and companions make quite a hit in the cafeteria. we are very lucky because we have a modern, well-equipped cafeteria, staffed by competent managers. Menus are announced ahead of time, so that students know when favorite foods are to be served. Three lunch lines move through the cafe- teria, past the serving counters, and back to the tables, making it easy for all to be served in a minimum of time. Service in the cafeteria is just one more phase of the school program that helps make going to Junior High a real pleasure. Chefs at work! 32 The mob” arrives - seemingly from the woods an ' every- where At football games, always a mob ; but this pix proves there were some dull moments This mob is lis- tening to instructions from Mike, the mana- ging editor, (not in camera range) while Dick, in background, nods approval Mob Scenes Wubby, of course, caused a real stampede And here the mob returns to the buses at the end of another day J The 1958 CAVALIER football team was composed of the boys pictured above.

All our teams made good records for dear ole Junior High this year. And the credit goes first, of course, to the men on the field and the court; then the coaches come in for their share of the honors; but without the cheerleaders well, who knows? Above, they form a beautiful V for victory. Starting at the far left they are Joyce Roach, Lane Robeson, Karen Ivans, Frances Fry; directly in front kneeling, is Sally Goodwin and right behind her is Gay Carpenter. Next is Louisa Wilson, Vivian Meredith, Susan Phillips, and Alice Tolley. In the pictures below, you see all the cheerleaders in action - and active they were, all year. At all games and pep rallys and assemblies, these were the students who helped talk the home team to victory.

Some observant spectators 43 ' v ' S Fads of ’58 and ’59 Wubby, we want you to note some tads which have been evi- dent around school this year. Some day, no doubt, we will look back and remember these passing fashions and smile at ourselves. Fads of ’58- ' 59 went from headache bands to painted shoes. A few of them are shown on this page. Top left: Diane Riley is shown wearning a pair of knee socks which were seen often at school. Center: Nancy Cardwell models the initial necklace which sud- denly became very popular. Bottom left: Sally Goodwin shows that a figure can still be seen in a sack dress. Bottom right: Lynn Minter demonstrates the spinning of the hula-hoop. About 18 million hoops” were sold throughout the world. These are our Graduates” Nineth grade students, who successfully complete the requirements, graduate from Junior High then move on to the tenth grade in the senior high school. The Class 01 ' 59 is the second group to make this move from Junior High. In its first year of operation, our school enrolled only seventh grade and eighth grade students. Thus, for some students (those who entered in the seventh grade) this is the third year at Junior High. Some have been here two years, some just one year, and a few, entering the local school system during the current term, have been here for only a part of the year.

Of course, a few failed to get pictures made, and we are indeed sorry that this section is not 100 per cent complete. Except for the classes they take, there is absolutely no way of distinguishing between eighth grade and ninth grade students at Junior High. All have exactly the same privileges and all follow the same rules and regulations.

Members of the band shown above are, front row, left to right, Bill Mclntire, Allen Kirby, Kenny Gilliam, Bobby Bunn, Vincent Jones, Doug Randlett, Eddie Mit- chell, and Bobby Baals. Second row, Lindsey Turner, and Robert Utley. Shown above are Harvey Huffstetler, Ned Holderby, Dennis Williams, Ronnie Col- tranne. Second row, Eric Weiner and Jeff Page. Third row, Joe Walsh and Barbara Minter. Scholarship, of course, is a main objective at Junior High. All our students are constantly en- couraged to do their very best. People who make top grades are listed each six weeks in an Honor Roll prominently displayed on a corridor bulle- tin board. When you met our faculty members earlier, some were absent and some teachers joined the staff later during the year. We present now, seated left to right, Mrs. Virginia LaFlare, who has a B.S. degree from the University of Colorado, teaching science; Miss Elaine Carawann, B.S. from East Carolina College, civics; Mrs. Gertrude Sloop, who holds an A.B. degree from Gettysburg, and teaches social studies; and Miss Cynthia Hinkson, physical educa- tion teacher who holds a B.S. degree from Radford. Standing are Mr. Robert Bruffey, math teacher, who has an A.B. degree from West Virginia Tech and who has done graduate work there and at W. Va. University and at Chico State in California. And, finally, Mrs. Henrietta Christian who has an A.B. degree from Randolph Macon Woman ' s College and teaches English. Old Glory is hoisted to the top of the school flag pole each school day, weather permitting. Our state flag also flies daily. The job of raising and lowering the colors is in the capable hands of Allen Kirby and Harold Anderson. 99 Dick and Mike are happy that all the yearbook material did finally, somehow, get together, and the staff did make the final deadline. They know that this first annual for Junior High is far from perfect. But they have enjoyed heading up the group of students who have tried to tell the story of our school for 1 9 58- ' 59 . in fact, tne entire staff seems pleased. Here they are, all together, wearing their best picture- taking smile. First row, left to right: Gene Summerlin, Skeets Keeter, Hershel Fogleman, Mike Lake. Second row: Edna Kegley, Shirley Galloway, Carole O ' Pry, Cheryl Ballard. Third row: Harry New, Louise Williams, Dick Allerton, Mike Gorleick. Fourth row: Susanne Reim, Diane Riley, Ronnie Shre- cengost, Stuart Gilman, Bill Lottier, Jackie Harvey, Ronnie Capps, Jack Dietrich, Jimmy Ownby, Mar- gie Gillespie; Fifth row, Wilson Harper, Jimmy Terry, Charles Morris, and Steve Ammons. And the Editor-in-Chief says good-bye, earth- man style, to our little friend, Wubby. Nice knowing you,” Dick said. And Wubby, just before taking off, said, So-long, Dick. It ' s a might pleasant experience to visit a fine school like Junior High! 100 - -- — — — - - 2 .
