Army Professor of Military Science ana' Tactics United States Naval Academy t TO THE MEMORY OF MISS PAYNE Suddenly on Friday, October 14, 1938, Miss Payne, one of our heloved teachers, left us. Although we have missed her greatly, we realize now that she is happier in heaven than she could ever be on earth. This verse seems to express this thought rather adequately: A wise old Sage in truth once said, Our loss is heaven's gain, She is just away, no, donlt say dead, For her eternal life is just ahead. I-Ier sweet disposition and ever-ready smile will linger in the heart of many students of Washington-Lee High School. For her splendid work in the Science Department of our school, she will long remain an ideal, as a teacher and as a friend. Miss Payne was horn in Covingtnn, Virginia, where she spent the major part of her life. She graduated from the Covington I-ligh School in the clafs of 1928, and then for two years attended Randolph-Macon. Two years later she graduated from the Harrisonburg State Teacher's College. In 1932 she received her Master's Degree at the University of Virginia. The following year she was employed as a teacher at Wasliington-Lee I-Iigh School. It was with profound regret that Alexandria residents, the faculty and students of Washington-Lee 1-ligh School learned of her departure.

MALOTT HISTORY OF FEBRUARY GRADUATION CLASS OF 1939 As February returned, we found ourselves at the end of our high school life, and it was with genuine regret that we said good-bye to our friends at Washington-Lee. We were active in many phases of Student life at Washington-Lee. Salvatore Cafh, Arnold Kephart, Jack Wilkerson, and William Fought represented our class in cadets. Helen Johnson was our contribution to the Glee Clubg while the athletics were ably supported by Kenneth lVicQuinn, Cecil Nixon, Hal Leatherwood and Bernard Parnell. The officers of our class performed their respective duties very efficiently, the treasurer Iris Gabrielson, deserving particular praise. Through all of our high school years, our sponsor, Mrs. Malott has been a friend and adviser. For her never ceasing encouragment and assistance we most wholeheartedly thank her.

Probably those best describe our first impressions upon our entrance into Washington-Lee in 1933. To us the ways and customs of such a large school were wholly new and strange, and there would have been little difficulty in branding us as the 'lroolciesi' we were. We were different from no other class except in size. Throughout our years in Junior and Senior High we have kept this difference. As a junior class we were the largest in the history of Washington-Lee, and now, as Seniors, we proudly boast of six homerooms and over 275 students. The only sponsor to have been with us since our entrance into Senior High is Miss Peedg to whose efforts the class might well attribute its progress. Our other sponsors have been Mrs. Moore, Miss Firebaugh, Miss Carson, Mr. Lewter, Mr. Hughes, Miss Artz, Miss Ruff, Miss Myers, Mrs. Baldwin, Miss Nelson, Miss Rowe and Mr. Walsh. In the ninth grade we entered into the clubs, athletics, and many other activities of the school, and from our ranks have come many achievements that will not soon fade. The class is no less outstanding for its scholastic record, which has always been of the highest. It was we who as a sophomore class, standardized the sophomore colors, 'QBlue and Gold. Bob Howell has done an excellent piece of work as our Junior and Senior class president, for which he cannot be commended too highly. Other outstanding members of our class are Burton Bates, President of the Student Association, Biil Payne, Lieutenant Colonel of our Cadet Corps, and Barbara England, Major of the Girls' Battalion. From our midst must some day come talents and abilities of varying degree, but may we never forget our school, to which most credit is due for what we are and for what we are going to be. 47 ue and Gray 1 1 1 , Senior Cllilass Sung GOODBYE TO SCHOOL fTune: Farewell to Theel Our school days are coming to an end Goodbye to our dear friends and pals.

As we pause a moment in our march to glance back over our school career we are surprised to see the number of changes which the years have brought to us. Each semester new faces have come to us while some of our friends have been missing from the ranks. We were grieved to lose the old members, but we were also happy to make friends with the new people and welcome them to our class. A small blight is put on our happiness when we realize that we have not been able to accomplish any great outstanding thing as a class. This was partly due to our small size and partly to the continual change in the members. However, we remember that it is the little things which make life pleasant so our spirits rise again. Don't get the impression that we haven't accomplished anything of which to be proud, because we have. Each member of our class is profiting by his experience at Washington-Lee and, even though the teachers sometimes despair of our ever llcarning anything, we have gained quite a bit of knowledge which may be useful to us. We are well represented in practically all of the school activities. A good many members of the football squad come from our class. It is with pardonable pride that we speak of the one member of our class who is a member of the National Honor Society. Now let us look to the future. The past is finished and, whether it was for better or worse, there is nothin further we can do about it exce t rofit b our g P P Y ex erience and do better in the future. So we enter our senior ear lookin not back- Y g ward' but forward. Qur hopes are soaring upward for the most successful and hap- piest year of our school life. Who knows what may happen in a year? 51 Eiune Glass uf 1940 52 f Ar .. F, it Liv . -V, fy F. Ames E. Andersen J. Anderson R. Arnaud E. Arnest E. Arnold J. Arnold A R. Arnold P. Balclwin M. E.

We were all in on our toes and being new in the game, we were anxious to make a gain. We were also anxious to acquaint ourselves with all the rules of the game. About all we were able to do was to hold the line although one of our team mates was able to make a good gain by getting a citizenship medal. We started the second quarter as the 10th grade with more confidence in our game. We were developing some very good players such as halfbacks, tackles and guards. We made some good gains. By the end of the quarter we were able to tackle some tough propositions and throw them for a loss. We were becoming real sports. The boys were wearing long pants and the girls were wearing makeup and high heels. In our opinion considerable yardage was made in this quarter. We are now in the third year as Juniors. As Juniors we really are getting closer to being professionals. We are going down the field steadily not being thrown for amy losses. In other words, we are beginning to click . We threw a forward pass in this quarter and landed the Vice-Presidency of the Student Government. With playing time still remainirg we should be within scoring distance by the end of the quarter. With even breaks we should make the goal in the fourth quarter, standing up. 57 Pfendenf A-,, V,Y,,,,4,,A ,,,,,, ..., ,,,,,, R o B E RT WILKERSON Blue and Gray 1 f f Iiaisturp of Jfehtuarp Glass uf 1941 The class that will graduate in February, 1941 consists of about 120 members.

J AMES SAGER The tenth grade was given class colors, and this class, then 1013, had the choice of arrangement of the colors of purple and gold in the class ribbons, since it was the higher class of the tenth grade. The arrangement was purple over gold. Soon after this, the class dues were fixed as twenty-five cents, with twenty cents going for pictures of the various homerooms and their presidents for the annual, and the remain- ing five cents for class colors and any other incidentals that might come up. The class has been cooperating with other homerooms in the clean-up campaign. It was quite diflicult to get the work started during the winter, primarily clue to weather conditions. A group of homeroom presidents and others have been appointed, however, as a special committee to help. ' Last year, in the ninth grade and IOA, the class was under the advisorship of Miss Loving, with Billy Jefferies as president. 58 af! l .1 J, L :February Glass of 1941 I 10B1 MRS.

MALOTT The class is made up chiefly of members who did their former Junior High School work here at Washington-Lee, at Thomas Jeiferson Junior High School, or at one of the District of Columbia schools. Howelver, there are in their midst quite a number who have come from various parts of the United States. Whether the new members were from the frozen North, the wild West, the sunny South, or from right here near home, they were welcomed by the home group. Soon they became home members themselves, ready to welcome the stranger who joins the class from time to time. When the 9B Class enrolled in September, 1938, it was made up of four home- room groups. Since that time the class has grown so that it has become necessary to form a fifth homeroom. This growing has been typical of the class. Not only has it grown in numbers, but obeying the injunction of the sponsors to grow up,,' the members have done quite a bit of growing. The class have come to realize the fact that they are now fin February, accepted as sure enough senior high school pupils, and they are grasping the opportunity to talce up the advantages their promotion has given them. They have taken up commercial work and have entered senior high school clubs and activities. They are represented in cadet and auxiliary activities. Throughout the year they have done their share in making up the Honor Rolls in scholastic attainment and in attendance. True, the class has had its share of growing pains, and, as in the human body some members suffer more than others with the malady, so has it been with indi- viduals of the class. However, even the extremely active ones fwho seem to suffer most, incidentallyl have grown enough to realize that time and growth will finally ease out the worst type of growing pains. Ar this time all are looking with respectful attitude toward a day in mid-year 1942, when they may receive along with a certain document evidence that their growth and development have been worth the effort-that their growing pains have not been in vain.

Ilaisturp of Ulbe Mklasbingtnnzlee Qiahet Qiurps The record of the Washington-Lee Cadet Corps is one of which the students and faculty may be justly proud. The organization of the Corps, shortly after the completion of our present building, was due largely to the untiring efforts of Mr. Kemp and Mr. Vanderslice. The Cadet Corps was composed of one company until 1928 when it expanded into three companies and increased the number of men in each. .... H The progress of the Washington-Lee Cadet Corps has been possible through the follow- ing professors of military science and tactics who have served faithfully and diligently. They are: Captain Charles E. Johnson, 1927328. Lieutenant-Colonel C. S. McNeal, 1929-'34. Lieutenant Albert B. Tillette, 1934-'35. Lieutenant Edward Fraclc, 1935338. Major Raymond G. Payne, 1938. In the past few years a girls' battalion has been organized under the capable assistance of Miss Powell and of Miss Williams, who succeeded Miss Powell in 1931. Under their supervision the girls have grown into a corps that is truly a credit to the school. Through the combined efforts of Major Payne and Miss Williams the regiment is grow- ing in numbers and in military knowledge. At present the regiment is composed of three boys' companies, two of which, A and B are uniformed, and one, C, non-uniformed. The regiment also has three uniformed girls' companies-I, K, and L. Through the knowledge of our instructors and the cooperation of every cadet, the regi- ment will show much progress in the years to come. 70 First Battalion Staff Left to Right: Hubert Burner, lst Lieutenantg Salvatore Caffl, lst Lieu- tant, Burton Bates, Ma- jorg Arnold Kephart, Ser geant Major.

A t t omey-General The Sam Browne Club began the social activities of the year with a bang! A 'gGood- Will Dancev was sponsored at the beginning of the school year. Refreshments were served and the officers were introduced to those present. This dance was a huge success and was thor- oughly enjoyed by all who were present. For their contribution to charity, the Sam Browne members donated a basket of food to a needy family at Christmas. The climax of the activities of the Sam Browne Club of 1939 was the Annual Regimental Ball. One of the largest of the year, this dance was a huge success and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who were present. The Hoot show, which was something new and original, was some- thing that all those who were present will always remember. The commissioned oflicers of the Washington-Lee Boys' Battalion wish to congratulate our newest member, Major Payne, on his splendid worlc of reorganization and planning for his first year as head of the Washington-Lee Cadets. We all hope that Major Payne will con- tinue his splendid service at Washington-Lee for many years to come. 78 11fBlue and Gra Back Row, Left to Right: Carolyn Ray, Gladys Rauh, Catherine Warner, Edna Davis, Virginia Middleton, Elva Dayton, Doris Warlc.

Due to graduation, ly six letter men and a group of inexperienced players turned out for practice. From this goup Alex Anderson was chosen captain and led his boys with everything he possessed to make a successful year for the Blue and Gray. . Will we ever forget the Central game? Never has such a pure exhibition of high school football been displayed. Captain Anderson led his men in the best played and most exciting game of the Blue and Gray schedule. There was no giving up, and every man fought to the veryrlast whistle, the game ending in a 13-13 tie.

They lost to George Washington High School ffirst time in three yearsj. They were not in the Evening Star tournament ffirst time in three yearsj. Last year Washington-Lee won the trophy for having the best suburban team in the tournament. The season was not a disappointment to Mr. Richardson and those in the Uknowf' They did not expect great things from an entirely new group of boys, most of whom were sophomores and had never played organized ball before. The team played a lot of basketball and learned a lot of basketball. They lost games, it is true, but they developed one of the finest spirits ever seen on a Washington-Lee team. There was never a word of discord, never a sign of giving up, never an alibi. They won the admiration of all the teams they played for their fine sportsmanship. Hats off to a swell bunch of boys who proved in the face of loss after loss that they could take it and still keep their chins upg and you will see before they graduate that they will also be able to give it. 83 l l i l 5 l A , E F Blue and Gray 1 1 1 e x.

After six weeks of organizing and prac- ticing the teams developed remarkably, promising the usual exciting tournament. The games were opened with the Junior-Senior game on November 3. Despite the excellent work of Sylvia Western and Jackie Reynolds' stinging shots, the Juniors emerged victorious with a 3 to 1 score. Basked by a good guard defense and a fast forward line, the Juniors showed a good team. On November 5, the Seniors made a rally, defeating the Sophomores, 7 to 0. Following Following this game the Juniors conquered the Freshmen. In the Freshmen-Senior game the plucky little Freshmen again lost, 7 to 0. The Freshmen and the Sophomores are to be commended for the fine spirit with which they played against the older and more experienced teams. The Sophomores defeated the Freshmen 3 to 2 in an evenly matched game. The concluding game of the season saw the Juniors again on top with the 1938 champ- ionship. In looking over the '38 hockey tournament, many stars have emerged from the various teams. Margaret Kerr, Myra Mitchell, Grace Torreyson, Eileen Moore and Jane Ann Hughes deserve special attention for their outstanding work on the teams. 87 Blue and Gray 1 1 1 l Girls' Swimming Qllluh Miss Myers, sponsor, Winifred Strait, Shirley Rawlett, Lelia George, Marguerite Sparks, Jane Ann Hughes, Myria Lillian Mitchell, Carolyn Gregson, Sarah Culpepper, Eclna Wehrli, Ruth Brown, Betty Caldwell, Rosemary Trone, June Buchanan, Aune Kangas, Barbara Brown Elva Dayton.

The influence of this society with its four-fold purpose has been very evident, and it has proved to be a worthwhile addition to our school activities. Une of the first obstacles encountered was that of finding a suitable name for the chapter. Doctor Latimer of George Washington Universiy suggested the name, Kalagethos, which was finally adopted. Of Greek derivation, this word symbolizes nobility of character, a striving for beauty, and leadership. Qualifications for membership in the society are directed toward encouraging the development of a well-rounded student rather than development in one particular field. Eligibility for membership requires that a student be in the upper twenty percent of his class scholastically, as well as that he be outstanding in character, leadership, and service. Since its organization, the chapter has endeavored to promote higher standards of citizenship in the school by means of various activities. Last year one of the main activities undertaken was that of sponsoring a vocational guidance assembly, the objective being to aid students in their selection of vocations. Because of the difficulty often encountered by Iunior High School students in the selection of a course, upon entering High School, the various members of the society visited the eighth grade homerooms and discussed diploma requirements, selection of subjects, and school activities. To familiarize new students with the advantages and facilities of the school was the plan of a get acquainted party given at the beginning of the past school year. Refreshments were served and an attempt was made to lessen the awkward- ness so often experienced by students entering a new school. No accomplishment, however outstanding, no award, however brilliant, can surpass that embodied in the aims and principles of our National Honor Society, and no search for an ideal can find a more satisfactory finality than in the pursuit and attainment of its ideals. 95 Blue and Gray 1 1 1 WT ' F-2: . .E .

Last year, for the first time, delegates were sent to the convention, which was held at Roanoke. While there, we were greatly honored by having one of our delegates, Bob Howell, elected as Vice-President of the State Association. This year delegates from the Student Government are to be sent to the convention which will be held at Manassas in April. Our Student Government is now taking an active part in the State Association. ' . This is the Student Government's 'first year under the new constitution, which was adopted in March, 1938. The efficiency of the'Student' Association has proven that the adoption of this constitution was a wise move. The Student Government opened its 1938-'39 activitieslwith several major projects in mind. First, it wished to perfect the patrol system. A great deal has been done toward this goal. Tables in the cafeteria were reserved thus eliminating much disorder. The arrangement of stairs has been revised, so that students are now able to change classes with less confusion than under the old system. Its second project is an intensive campaign for the purpose of beautifying the school grounds. Several organized attacks have been made on this situation by the Council. Some of the school clubs have cooperated admirably. It has also been approached on the basis of class competition, each class having been assigned one of the districts into which the grounds were divided. Later on in the year the Student Government turned its attention to plans for darkening the auditorium so that full-length features could be shown. This project is the greatest that has been undertaken this year. The Student Council has spent much time and con- sideration investigating the possibilities of attaining this goal. The project has been advocated by former Student Governments, but for the first time definite action has been taken toward this end. The features to be shown will be run at a low cost and will be of benefit to the students from an educational as well as an entertaining standpoint. These are the mainprojects which have been taken into consideration, but they have been supplemented by others. The others include particularly the standardizing of school colors and the 'obtainment of Junior Varsity letters. Rodney Gaumnitz was in charge of investigating the possibilities of securing the letters and of the arrangements made con- cerning their specifications. V This year the Student Government successfully promoted its handbook drive. This drive has been undertaken annually by the Association. It edits, prints, and distributes these pamphlets which contain information of much value to the students. The sale of pennants and skull-caps was also successfully advanced by the Student Association. More than twice as many skull-caps were sold as had been sold in any former year. . The Alumni Dance, which has become traditional with the Student Government, was sponsored December 22. This is one of the finest traditions of our school. 97 Blue and Gray 1 1 1 Bluninr jmtnspapsr Standiizg, Left to Right: Carolyn Dorsey, Berkeley Ball, Freddie Ashton, Katherine Allison, Jane Ann Hughes, Virginia Caton, Thelma Metz, Kathleen Quinn, Ruth McCloskey, Verna Dean Hamm, Cora Lee Woods, Leonard Mathusa, Albert Rixse, Eustice Waller, Leroy Morley, Merlyn Rollen, Robert Gaines Seated.

The diligent, sincere work of the glee club produced this year a repertoire of songs of greater musical value and beauty than in any previous year. Ranging in their study from Palestrina of the sixteenth century and Bach of the seventeenth century, through such contemporary composers as Annabel Morris Buchanan, of our own state, and Noble Cain, the members enjoyed a broad and satisfying musical experience, greatly developing their knowledge of singing and enlarging their familiarity with song literature. This year marks the beginning of the study of a cappella singing by the glee club, an art which greatly develops the singer because of the finish with which it must be done. The most important events of the year were the annual spring recital, by far the most beautiful to date, and the State Festival where the girls and mixed chorus were given superior rating.

Maps' 45122 fllluh Ir may be said that the Boys' Glee Club of Washington-Lee High School owes its existence to the unfailing interest and activity of Mrs. Baldwin, for it was she who first organized and directed a nucleus group of about ten boys in the 1937 season. Since then the club has grown in size and scope, but the boys acknowledge their original debt to Mrs. Baldwin with increasing gratitude. During their first year as a club, the boys sang many old songs which are still favorites. The work, because of the newness of the enterprise and the relatively small group, plus a lack of musical background for many of the members, was necessarily limited. However, the club made progress enough to allow an appearance at the close of the year in the Baccalaureate service. Because Mrs. Baldwin was transferred to the ofiice staff, in the next season the Reverend Mr. Grewenow took charge of the group's activities. Reverend Grewenow has had con- siderable experience in choir work and gave very generously of his time and effort that the necessary fundamentals of tone production and diction might be taught. The group had more than doubled in size, permitting a division of the chorus into three sections: bass, baritone and tenor. Under Mr. Grewenow's direction the club appeared before the local Parentffeachers, Association, a school assembly, and finally, in June, at the Baca calaureate service. In November of this year the club took a new place in the school schedule. A new director was chosen from the faculty and the club was put on a five-day-a-week basis, utilizing the regular activity period each day for rehearsal. Out of this new development has come a chorus of forty voices, which has, so far, appeared with varying success before the Christmas Assembly, Boys' Club Benefit, a County Boy Scout Rally, and the congrega- tion of St. Thomas, Episcopal Church in Washington. A feature of this last event was the attendance at that service of President and Mrs. Roosevelt. The highlight of the year was the participation of the club in the Annual Festival at Rich- mond, where the group made its first attempt for a competitive rating, This meeting was held in April with the boys attaining an Excellent rank. 101 1 l Q. s X .

Excitement ran high on December 2nd, when the Seniors ran up the curtain on the first dramatic presentation of the year. Several heretofore hidden actresses and actors were brought forth under the able direction of Mrs. Kielsmeier and Mr. Lewter. Nancy Green and Bob Disc, as the chief love interest, proved outstanding. Jeanne Maiden's gorgeous furs caused quite a sensation. Amusing scenes between Mary Beth Hendricks, Bob Howell and Aline Leatherwood captured the show. This group of seniors has contributed in a large measure to the success of the 1939 class. For a fine evening with Hot Copy we thank you. 'IOQ 1 1 f Blue and Gra is 'f'L: 9.1 '--5 .

Only girls who have been awarded letters are eligible for membership. The qualifications required for a letter are figured in terms of points-five hundred for athletics, one hundred each for citizenship, scholarship, leadership, sportsmanship, and health. Each year the membership and activities of this club have expanded. Ar present the membership is thirty-eight, the largest the club has ever had. In 1937 Miss Mary B. Haley became the sponsor. Under her capable hand the club has continued to flourish. The meetings are held once a month at the home of one of the members. These meetings are high lights of the months. To raise funds for the various activities, the girls sell candy, hot dogs, and soft drinlcs at the football games. The outstanding feature of the club is the annual dance given jointly with the W-L Club. This is a gala event enjoyed by all who attend. 'VIO N .

The occasion is the tenth annual reunion of the 1939 class of Washington-Lee. Never in all my experience have I seen a more imposing group of people gathered under one roof! Ah, here are two early arrivals-Charles O'Connor and Bill Boyer, that popular radio comedy team. A huge imported car rolls up-see it? And out steps Nancy Green, the motion picture queen and Bob Dise, character actor. Who is that distinguished young lady? Agnes Humfeld, the most outstanding chemist of the age.

Okay, you men get back to work. You can watch the fun tomorrow. That night in the bunk house, after mess, Randy pondered over the situation with his friend. Well,H declared Jock. In about twelve hours you,ll have to show who,s the best manf' Yep, said Randy, as he inhaled his ciga- rette, uand if I have anything to say about it, I'l1 come out on topf' , I hope so, declared Jock doubtfully. 'QSeriously though if you do happen to show Larsen up very bad in front of the others, I,ve got a hunch he won,t stick around here long. A foreman in a lumber camp has to have the respect of the other lumber jacks if he wants to lastv. You,re right there, Jock, and confidenti- allyf, said Randy as he leaned back against his pillows, that,s what I'm counting on.', By Sunday afternoon word had reached just about every lumberjack, in the vicinity, of the impending feud between Howard and Bill Larsen. Randy Larsen himself, and seventy-five other lumberjacks stood wonderingly in front of the stockroom as Randy emerged carrying a large keg marked DYNAMITE , and a twenty foot coil of fuse. Wheeling the keg out to a clearing about one hundred and fifty yards from the camp, he attached the fuxe, among many curious looks, to a small hole in the bottom. Finally Larsen, unable to withhold his curiosity any longer, addressed Randy with a sneer. I don't know what your idea is, I-Ioward, But I will say this: If you lose out you won7t be working here any longerf, That's okay with me, said Randy dryly. I-Ie turned toward the barrel of dynamite. There's a twenty foot fuse attached to this keg. Jock here will light the other end. You and I will sit on the barrel and the last one to get up is the one with the most guts. fC0ntinued on Page IZBQ FURNITURE IN C.

All right, light it Jock, called Randy. Jock leaned over the fuse, lic it, and with seventy-five other lumberjacks, ran for cover. The fuse sputtered and began to grow shorter, Larsen was sober now and beads of sweat stood out on his brow. Randy coughed nervously. Seconds seemed like minutes as the sputtering flame grew nearer. Five feet separated it from the barrel. Then inches and with a yell of terror, Larsen leaped up and ran like mad. With all the speed he possessed Randy jerked the fuse from the keg. A second later it had stopped sputtering. I-Ie held it in his hand, looked at Larsen still running, and then he laughed.
