( 6 ) dedication We, the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Seven, dedi¬ cate this tenth edition of THE SKYLINE to our friend and teacher, Miss Doris Buhrman, as a token of our appreciation of her invaluable help in all of our activities of the past years.

The purpose of this organization is to maintain and strengthen a democratic relationship between the student body and faculty and to provide freedom in individual and group action as long as the action seems to contribute to the welfare of the school. Much of the work is done through committees. The faculty frequently uses these committees to help them with problems concerning the student body. ( 42 ) No high school could begin to be a high school without the speedy output of a year book—now year books are great things—good for reference after years have gone by, but they are a rush and bother, regardless of their golden cpialities. The annual staff of the ’47 was elected from a group of Miss Treakle’s fifth period of pencil-pushers. A mad dash was made to collect ads and to write letters to engravers and photographers—a regular rat-race in order to get ready to wait. We waited, we thought, we argued, we cast votes and most of all, we were united long enough to choose green for our cover—ah ! green with gold letters—(24 karat, too!!) At this point of unity, we were disrupted by some guy, Ewing, with flash bulbs and prices—pictures taken, we waited for proofs—the proofs came—and we almost ga -e up the idea of a yearbook, but no!! Spurred on by the trio of Treakle, Griggs, and our editor, Bateman, we worked, watched, wondered, and delivered your annual to you—get a load of that “Skyline,” 1947.

The Latin Club of Waynesboro High School is an organization for those students taking the subject and making at least a “B” average. The club, organized in January of 1946, chose as its motto, “Non sibi sed omnibus” meaning “Not for self but for all.” It is the purpose of the club to encourage a deeper interest in the uses of Latin, to appreciate its value, and to acquaint its members with the everyday uses of Latin. In May of ’46 the Latin club sponsored an ice cream booth at the May Day Celebration. A picnic was given in honor of the Spanish Club by the chartered members. “The Last Days of Pompeii,” a sound movie, was sponsored for the enjoyment of the student body. The Spring Dance on March 1 and a play were also given under the sponsorship of the Latin Club. SIB Spanish Club The Spanish Club was reorganized in October using as a nucleus those returning from last year’s group. The club, meeting every third week, was designed to afford an opportunity for Spanish students to band together and to continue the study of the Spanish language in an informal way. Con¬ sidering social life an object worthy of emphasis, the club sponsored a Christmas dance on December 19 which was pronounced a success by those attending. The group established contact wiih individuals in Spanish-speak¬ ing countries and subscribed to a Spanish newspaper, thus broadening the study and insight into Spanish life and culture. Programs were planned and presented reflecting the customs and atmosphere of Spain. The club motto is—“Manana.” The club flower is—Cactus.

This year the Social Committee asked other clubs of the school to plan some of the dances. The Spanish Club, Latin Club, and the Girls’ and Boys’ “W” Clubs are sponsoring dances. They have followed the rules and regu¬ lations that the Social Committee has set up. The president was appointed by the Student Council. He appointed ten people, getting representatives from each class, to be on the committee. Then the committee elected its own officers. There are three faculty sponsors who help the committee in making their plans. ( 46 ) biversifced Occupations The program of Vocational Education for Diversified Occupations is a part-time co-operative program of education in which the business estab¬ lishments in the community cooperate with the school in providing; work- experiences and vocational instruction for a selected number of high school students who have earned eight or more units toward graduation and who are placed in employment half of each school day. In addition to the half-day employment, one class period is devoted to the study of learning to adjust one’s self to the business world, becoming- acquainted with the labor laws of our Nation and enriching the actual work experiences with reading directly related to the job. At present there are twenty-six enrolled in the D. O. Class with fif.een different occupations represented.

The emphasis in this group was placed upon quality rather than quantity. Although small in number, the girls attracted favorable comments in the concerts in which they appeared. They are looking forward to a bright future since most of them are freshmen and sophomores. Juanita Ellison is soprano soloist. : t ( 48 ) This group, organized in the fall of 1946, promises to ‘‘be heard from” quite a bit in the future. Made up of students from the fou th grade up. the band has excellent prospects. Out of the entire g oup, only six are high school students. The rest are in the Wenonah and WiVn-Jackson g.ade schools. The band made its initial appearance in a concert on December Id, 1946. Plans are now underway to have a marching band for the football games next fall. Soloists are Frank Williams, clarinet, and William Larsen, bari¬ tone horn.

These boys and girls were to be the future members of our high school paper staff, THE GOLD AND purple: During the fEst few weeks and months, words such as copy, masthead, dummy, and headlines took on new meaning. For the first time in our lives, we were journalists; we were writing and seeing the results of our labors in print.

If you really wish to have an active duty, sore throat, and stiff muscles, become a cheer leader. But please don ' t think that is all to being a cheer leader! No, it’s all of the wonderful times, freezing and cheering at those thrilling football games, and meeting some really attractive students from other schools. I must say that our white outfits are good-looking. Yes, we have heavy white wool sweaters with white pleated skirts that do ad sorts of stunts when we are cheering. I simply can’t leave out our white wool bobby-socks with our brown and white saddles. As in every organization, we must have certain rules that we abide by. Really, it is an honor and a privilege to serve our school as a cheerleader.

The club was organized for the following purposes: (1) to maintain a high scholastic standard as an examp’e for other students; (2) to promote better sportsmanship in sports and school life; (3) to inspire student and local interest in high school ath¬ letics; (4) to take responsibility of sports advertising; (5) to develop leadership; (6) to form better health habits; (7) to supervise wearing of the “W The functions of the ” ” Club are to sponsor a dance each year, to have a picnic, and to act as ushers at games. ( 52 ) Qirli ’ “W” Club The Girls’ “W” Club consists of girls who have earned their letters in some major sport. The only social event of the year, 1946, was a “Saddle Shoe Stomp” held Thursday,. April 18, with Joe Cleese’s orchestra furnishing the music. Our only decorations were paper lanterns placed over the lights with W’s cut in them. The dance was a great hit, and the club is planning to sponsor another one this year on the same order as last year’s affair. On Thursday, May 16, the girls who had been awarded letters in basket¬ ball for the year, 1945-46, were initiated. Each girl was to we ' tr a short sleeve blouse backwards over a long sleeve sweater, ski r t upside down, one leg with stocking and loafer, one leg with sock and pump, no make-up, and was not allowed to comb her hair. The initiation which lasted for only one day wes also given the girls who received letters in tennis.

The “Little Giants” 1946 football season was successful not only in put¬ ting a stop to Harrisonburg’s jinx but was the best team in our high school history. The victory over Harrisonburg’s “Blue Streaks” was the first victory for a Waynesboro “eleven in the history of the two schools. During the season the “Giants” hung up an impressive record of 6 wins, 2 losses, and 2 ties. Coach Jimmy Leitch successfully combined players of last year’s fair team with a few returning G. I’s. to form the best football team Waynesboro has ever had. New arc lights were installed on the home grid¬ iron, and due to the fact that all the “Giants” home contests were played at night, the attendance was greatly increased. Almost the entire starting “eleven” will be graduated in ’ 47 ; the vacancy they will leave will be hard to fill.

The Midgets seemed to lack scoring punch, but their defense proved fairly strong. The best display of offensive strength was witnessed in the second game with Augusta Military Academy in which three tallies were registered after long gains and accurate passes. The junior varsity plays a valuable part in the training of varsity players, and their experience will be helpful in the coming years. Several individuals exhibited some talent which may assure them varsity starting berths in the future. Seated, left to right.

After overcoming ' a period of early season sluggishness, the “Little Giants” took an early lead in conference play and held first place until late season when they slipped into third place which was still enough to assure them of a berth in the play-offs in the district tournament. The “Little Giants” were at their peak in a thrilling 29 to 27 defeat of Harrisonburg High.

A girls’ junior varsity basketball team was organized in the high school this year for the first time in several years. Twenty-four girls went out for the team and received training that will make them varsity material in the next year or two. The girls’ only games were with a more experienced Fairfax team. ( 58 ) junior Varsity (Basketball The “Jay Vees,” starting late in the season, were able to schedule only a few games. However, aided by civic league competition, they displayed some real basketball ability. Interest was high, as manifested by the large turnout, and some may prove to be valuable contenders for future varsity berths. First row: Paul Almarode, Sonny Beard, Donnie Austin, Bill Shorter, Joe Glick. Second row: Jay Mize, George Craig, Donald Marsh, David Chittum, David Kern. Paul Shue.

The baseball nine of W. H. S. with five experienced men on its roster, came out on top of the won and lost column. The season’s record was five wins and four losses, two of the wins coming at the bands of our old ' rival, Harrisonburg. At the first of the season the pitching staff was made up entirely of freshmen who at the end of the season turned in very impressive records. Behind the pitching staff was the infield with three lettermen and a rookie in it. The infield worked with very good team-work and was a big factor in the team’s success. The outfield was composed of only one return¬ ing veteran, but all three of the outfielders did a good job in their respec¬ tive positions. Mr. DeLong coached the team through a fairly successful season in 1946; with more lettermen returning in 1947, this spring should be even more successful. ( 60 ) Z)ennid - Varsity The Waynesboro High School tennis team, organized for the first time in the spring of 1946, played a schedule of five matches, two at home and three away. The first two matches were played in Richmond during a week-end trip. The match with John Marshall was rained out with only the number one singles being completed. This match was won by Waynesboro. The game with Thomas Jefferson was won 3-2 by Waynes¬ boro. The Waynesboro girls played hostess to St. Anne’s, of Charlottesville, for the next match and won 2-1. Playing against Fairfax Hall on the local court, the High School won a gain with a score of 2-1 and then finished the season by losing to Su Anne’s, 2-1 on the Charlottesville court.

( 61 ) J4ockey, In the fall of 1946, for the first time in the history of Waynesboro High School, the girls ' hockey team was organized. Since none of the girls had ever seen a hockey game or played in one before, they had to start from the very bottom. 1 he girls built their own field, 100 yards by 40 yards, and practiced nearly every afternoon. The game is played in two twenty-minute halves with no time out except for injuries. Each goal counts one point, and sub¬ stitutions, not made at all in college games, were made with the under¬ standing that anyone who came out would not be allowed to re-enter. The first game was played with Fairfax Hall on the home field with a 3-0 victory for the visiting team. Roth the varsity and junior varsity teams traveled to St. Anne’s with a 5-3 win for the junior varsity and a 2-0 loss for the first string. The last varsity game of the season was played at Fairfax Hall with the home team’s losing 2-1. Although it was an unsuccessful season insofar as games go, the girls enjoyed it and are looking forward to playing on next year’s team.

Signed and Witnessed, This ninth day of June BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1947 ( 71 ) Senior History Four years! Four whole years have passed since that Septemb er day in 1943 when we were freshmen. We with our innocent, optimistic faces; how can it be that now we are ready to leave our high school days? We looked forward to coming to high school and meekly walking the halls with a bewildered look, stepping out of the way of upperclassmen. Our activities included athletics, Junior Red Cross, Dramatic Club, and Choral Club. The Dramatic Club presented “Boarding House.” and “Cottonland Minstrel,” both of which were very successful. The Choral Club participated in the commencement exercises. Freshmen could also be seen at the Friday night “jeep” dances which were held. September, 1944 came sooner than we had expected. We were no longer freshmen and had risen one step higher in our rank. Our class participated in the Choral Club, Dramatic Club, Junior Red Cross, Student Council, Social Committee, and sports. “The Variety Show,” presented by the Dramatic Club in which members of our class showed their talents, was a big hit. This year was very satisfying, and we looked forward with pleasure to the next September. September, 1945. Juniors, and upperclassmen at last. Only once more does September have to come until we will be free. We organized three new clubs, Spanish, Latin, and a Girls’ “W” Club. Our behavior was more strictly watched and punished by an honor court. After many very exciting basketball games, our team came up with high honors, winning the State “B” Class Championship. Another highlight was our Junior-Senior Prom which turned out to be a great success. Now at last September 1946. Seniors! It was a busy year and one long to be remembered. Our first real excitement was our rings, which were changed in style from the previous ones. Then came the rush and hub-bub of ordering our calling cards and invitations. Members of our class belonged to the Latin Club, Spanish Club, the Boys’ and Girls’ “W” Clubs. Band. Student Council, and Choral Club. We were also represented in football and basketball and did a wonderful job of it. Then came the Junior-Senior Prom which was well-attended by both the juniors and the seniors. As June draws nearer, we all find that we are leaving behind us another of life’s milestones. We are loath to part with the old ways, but are looking forward hopefully to the new. We have enjoyed the many hours spent in our high school, made many friendships that are dear to us. At last we made it— graduation and sad parting with our fellowclassmen, some of whom we shall never see again. Parting is such sad stuff!!! ( 72 ) Senior Prophecy June 9th, 1967 Dear diary: Today has taken my thoughts back 20 years to the time when I was a senior in high school. I have either seen or heard about every¬ one who was in my class then. I just dropped in the Stork Club to meet the new manager, Joe Curd. He seems to be doing very well, but then, he’s had lota of ex¬ perience. All over town today Men’s Vogue hits the newsstands with King Gus on the cover model¬ ing the latest night club apparel. Speaking of Vogue, the newest Women’s Edition features many of the latest creations illustrated by Barbara Wallace. I heard from another ole classmate who does a lot of running around, that Herbert Schwab has finally worked his way up from soda-jerk to owner of Waynesboro Drug Store. From the same source comes the news that Jean Marie White is still working at DuPont in the summer-time; I wonder what Jean does with her winters. We hear that Bobby Barnes, eminent pho¬ tographer, has just signed a contract to return to Waynesboro and do the pictures for the 1967 annual. Jean Anne Lucas has finally consented to visit Dr. Edward G. Dinwiddie, the famed psy¬ chiatrist, to see why she can’t settle on one man. Frank Williams has just been promoted to head chemist at Westinghouse where Eddie Childs is now president. Dudley Morris is vice-president of the First National Bank in New York with Mabel McCrary and Jean Sheffield as his personal secretaries. Jack Daughtery is assistant plant manager at Dupont to Glenn Myers, who is | lant man¬ ager. Jackie Darnell finally married that Uni¬ versity fellow, and they’re living on Spring Road as he is a professor at the University of Virginia. Harold Moyer is principal at the Wilson- Jackson school. Maybe in a few more years he’ll be pro moted to the High School; I know he ' s looking forward to that. Jean Spradlin is teaching dancing to the youth of Waynesboro now that she has retired from her professional duties. Betty Lee Tomey is now private secretary to Mr. Haney. Young Edward has taken over the business. Herman Newcomb is now managing the Paramount Theatre in Waynesboro that was built in 1949. Ida Fisher is secretary to Mr. Pendergraft at Rose’s where Richard Kidd is now assistant manager. Alice Davis has replaced Miss Squires as teacher of the business course in Waynesboro High School. By the way, in Bob Antrobus’ sports column this morning, I saw that coach Willie” Landes has signed another contract with West Point. Next year he hopes to take Army to the Rose Bowl. Lillian Diehl, now too old to be an airplane hostess, is head instructor of sky hostesses for T. W. A. Jimmy Bratton will present his concerto in “Black and White” next week at Carnegie Hall. It’s his second appearance there. Pat Lilly is busy keeping house for Gene Heatwole and hasn’t had time for a career. Howell Gruver, head of the National Forest Rangers, is in New York this week for some sort of convention. He said that he heard from Billy Quesenbery recently and that “Quesy” likes the ranch life fine. This is the start of his fifteenth year in Montana. Dallas Fix is still posing for Pepsodent ads. Seems as though that smile of his finally paid off. Betty McCauley is coaching basketball at W. H. S. now and teaching Physical Education as a sideline. Speaking of coaching, Betsy Freed is the girls’ tennis coach at Westhampton now. Peggy Critzer and Lurty Ross are still try¬ ing to beat eaeh other to the punch. Reporting from Russia right now, Ross is the star news hound on the New York Times while Critzer re¬ mains loyal to the Herald-Tribune. Sarah Plumb has just been promoted to Chief Counselor of Campfire Girls of the East¬ ern United States. ( 78 ) Gloris Beahm and Delores Burnett have gone into business together. Gloris runs the Beahmette Dress Shop and Burnett does all the modeling. Joan Coyner is now dean of Valparaiso Uni¬ versity, Indiana, where her sister, Chris, went when Joan was still in high school. Phyllis Eppard is head of the State Orphan¬ age Home in Richmond, Virginia, and she ' s made a lot of improvements. This morning I was coming out of Helen Bateman’s advertising studio when I saw Frances Grissom and her husband driving by in their new 1967 Buick. Peggy Freed, wife of the famed Dr. you- know-whom, said that she had heard that Daley Craig, the prominent architect, had finally had his plans for the War Memorial approved by the City Council. Now all they need is some money to add to that thirty thousand that’s been in the bank for twenty years. Leona Armentrout is the editor-in-chief of “The Ladies Home Journal’’ and Mary Bloss is the beauty editor. l 1 anight I saw that slightly aging playboy, “Woots” Matheny dating that equally aging debutante, Mary Hammer. La Noma Baker and Peggy Smith are head buyers at Macy’s Department Store. La Noma is in charge of sports ensembles and Peggy handles evening apparel. Geraldine Neighbors and Agnes Pforr are floorladies in Woolworth’s store in New York. That’s a long jump from sales girls in Rose five and ten. v Jean and Margaret Roberts have used their common name to start “Roberts’ Florist Shoppe.” Seems they just couldn’t get enough flowers any other way. Donn Ellis is still slaying the girls as Holly¬ wood’s toughest movie actor. They say he’s making twice as much as Humphrey Bogart ever did. Catherine Fitzgerald never did make up her mind what she wanted to do, and so she’s still living in Waynesboro, doing nothing. Tommy Lotts has taken over his father’s jeep concession. Right now he’s working on an expensive car designed especially for high school students. Lyle Powell has just finished his 15th championship bowling match and is still un¬ beaten. Billy Hite is currently starring in the new Broadway show entitled “Girls, Women, and Who Let Her In?” Sonny Hartbarger is the star singer in the same show. Edythe Landes finally got married just last month. I won’t say to whom, but I will say that it’s abo ut time. Helen Jones and Jack Ryman liked manag¬ ing people and things so well that they’ve gone into business as theatrical managers. Joyce Tuck has taken her mother’ place as nurse at Fishburne. Seems she just couldn’t stay away. Speaking of Fishburne, Louise Griggs has outgrown the cadets and is dating the instruc¬ tors now. Nancy McCracken is her husband’s secretary since he opened the new chain of dry goods’ stores. Maybe she doesn’t trust him with all those good-looking salesladies. Homer Tomes, governor of West Virginia, is having road tunnels dug through the moun¬ tains. This way, he plans, more people will travel through the state. Mabel Teter has just built another new apartment house in Waynesboro. Each one has a nursery with a trained nurse to take care of children at any time. Thomas Beardsworth has opened a men’s clothing store in Waynesboro. He gives away a pair of suspenders with every pair of pants. Dolly Dedrick is now running her father ' s business. The store has grown until it covers a whole block. Colin Hintze is the president of the Lucky Strike Tobacco Company. He gets all his ciga¬ rettes free of charge. Bill Meeteer has finally gotten married. It was a long wait, but they both agreed that it was worth it. Charles Bones is now Head Professor of Algebra at the University of Virginia with Carl Shumate as his star pupil. Bette Quillen is now the head of all the retail buyers in New York. She is the first woman to become president of this association. Ruby Dempsey is trying to start a new mathematical system for those poor seniors in Waynesboro High School who have to take senior math. ( 74 ) The Sweetish King By Mary Louise Harry I. I saw a licorice tree, the other night, in the land of the Sweetish King. It grew peppermint drops and suckers and the marshmallow birds did sing. II. The Sweetish King’s palace was filled with men—the cookie kind you know, And all the hunters used licorice guns, and to the forest they would go. III. The Sweetish King’s men have raisins for eyes and little gum-drops for noses; Their clothes are made of cotton candy, and they’re covered from head to toeses. IV. The fountains all spout pink lemonade, and they have ice-cream every day. They can have everything they want and they never have to pay. V. The streets are inlaid with ginger bread squares; the lampposts are lightning bugs. They live in sweet candied pears, and they have chocolate mints for scatter rugs. VI. For amusement they go to the Candy Park, where they have root beer in kegs. They stay for hours and when they leave, they’re a little unsteady on their legs. VII. It began to fade away, this land of mine, soon nothing could be seen; I awoke with a start and suddenly realized, it had all been a wonderful dream. ( 75 ) The Woods By Leonard Aldridge I walked into the woods one day, The warm spring rains were o’er. Dark green pine tags glist’ning lay, Upon the forest floor. The smell of honeysuckle came to me, As plants were turning green; It was so pretty, I could not see. All there was to be seen. I saw the dew-filled flowers, Swaying in the breeze. I heard the singing of the birds. And the humming of the bees. I was so entranced, That time fairly flew. And suddenly, I realized, The gorgeous day was through. Before the Bell By Jay Grossman You come to school with nothing done; You go to your locker, then start to run; You meet your friend along the way; You say “Hello!” and decide to stay. You ask your friend iust what he knows; Then it hits you like a rubber hose; Your unfinished work, you darned old jerk; You tell your friend and he starts to smirk: “I ' ve got mine done,” he says so proudly; “I’ll do mine now,” you yell back loudly. You sure do worry about work undone, But you’ve got to admit it was lots of fun. Peace After the Storm By Anne Greaver Nature is quiet now; She has spent her anger. The sky is beginning to show its many colors And the sun shines on the earth ' s clean face. The flowers raise their beautiful heads To be blessed by the soft, cool breeze. The breeze sighs in the tree-tops Glad to be quiet once more. The tiny forest animals Come out of their homes To frolic in the cool, green grass. Yes, nature is quiet now, And all of her children are at rest. ( 76 ) Senior Knowledge By Helen Bateman I entered high school as a freshman With a yearning for learning and knowledge, Hoping that my training Would help me to enter college. And now that I am a senior With my title well earned. I shall take up some of your valuable time To tell you just what I’ve learned. I hardly need to mention at all Shakespeare’s story of Macbeth, For we all know that in the end Our hero met his death. Many years ago in France was born, Napoleon, a brave hero, who After conquering the Romans Finally met his Waterloo. I’ve found that the monomial theorem Will always work without fail, But I’ve searched the whole world over For Two Cities have a Tale. Abraham Lincoln, the great Emancipator, Turned the Negro loose, But he found that the square of the other two sides Was equal to the hypotenuse. In math, I am a genius, But I’ll tell you as friend to friend, That if x-y equals p It will come out all wrong in the end. I always loved our chemistry class, And in you I will confide. That carbon bisulfide and chlorine water Is the test for a bromide. Columbus discovered America, In fourteen ninety-two If he had not sailed the ocean. Woe to me and you. Science says that once a tornado Blew the feathers all off a hen But the wind just reversed its direction And blew them all on again. With this knowledge, I can’t enter college But I know of a plan, never fear, I shall probably go in on my face And as likely come out on my ear. r ( 77 ) Without A Dream By Flora Larsen Oh, fate, there should not be, A girl without a dream. A girl whose hands do not touch The realms of things unseen. What needless, rapturous joy is lost, Oh the thrill she misses If her soul is not uplifted As her hand a loved one kisses. Is it fear that keeps her from it? Or the pride that is in her soul ? Perhaps her thoughts are torn asunder By the failing of some goal. For her this world has lost its hope, This girl who has not a dream. Her mind and heart are no more free. Love alone can save her, Can make her life as it should be. Oh God, for her we give a prayer May she soon see through The cruelty of this world, May her life begin anew. Let her fullest joy be seen No longer hopeless, sad and lost, No more—without a dream. Summer By Rose Marie Saunders Oh! how I like to be out of doors, And beneath you there are no floors, Only the soft, green meadows wide, And cool breezes blowing with the tide. To swim in the lake and lie in the sun, Just to run and play till night has begun; To listen to the birds sing all day, And smell the smell of new mown hay. To lie on your back every night, And watch the stars twinkle clean and bright, Just to be out-of-doors when summer comes round. Is the best of all things, that I have found. Songs and Dreams By Betsy Freed As the songs go rolling by And make you laugh or sigh, I think of the tunes new and old Many which are cold. Those that make you feel blue But reminding you to be true, Set to a sentimental tune To which you’d like to spoon. Those that make you feel gay Recalling that happy day When you made dreams come true Merely by being with you. And so as the tunes grow old Not old, I am told, But the melody lingers as a song That will be remembered long. A Hockey Stick Speaks For Itself By Mary Moore It is about six o’clock a. m. I stand in my cardboard box and stretch. The day is just beginning, and the spacious room in which my home stands is filled with a dim, gray light. I look around me with pleasure. The room is clean; it was carefully swept yesterday. My friends, the other inmates of the cardboard box house, are still asleep. They lean against one side of the house, with their heads over the side. Perhaps you would like to know what we look like. We are long, and I think graceful pieces of what you humans would call wood. Our blades are of different shapes. We all are decorated with bands of bright paint. My paint is green. We are well wrapped with tape and pieces of leather. Altogether we make a pleasing array. Yesterday was a worrisome day for us. We played hard on the field and tried to show the girls how the game was really played. They did not appreciate our efforts and made a botch of the game. When they entered the building they threw us down, not even stopping to consider whether or not it would chip our blades or scar our beautfully varnished handles! This was terrible, but the noon lunch period was even worse. The boys threw us around, and without regard for our feelings, whisked us through the air. Horace and Howard, two of my particular friends, were badly damaged. We were all very much relieved when the lunch period fin¬ ally came to a close. My friends are waking up now, and so I suppose that I, Hank Hockey Stick, will have to say good-bye. ( 79 ) Friends By Jackie Quesenbery “The friends that we cherish As finest and truest Aren’t always the oldest Nor always the newest. They’re friends who’ve stood by When we need them sincerely, And that’s why we cherish Such friendships so dearly.” The old saying, “It is hearts that make friends, but chance that makes brothers,” is one to which almost all of us will agree. When walking down the street on a dreary, dull morning, one may greet the passers-by with a cherry Good-morning which serves to brighten many a person low in spirit and causes him to want to pass it on to the next person he meets. Not only does a smiling “Hello” lend a happy rise to the day, but it also leaves a glad spot in the heart. To me, though, friendship goes deeper than mere pleasantness. It is the love and loyalty we feel toward one who sticks by us through thick and thin. Just to be able to tell our troubles to someone who will listen and give his advice (whether good or bad) makes us feel better. It’s a good feeling to know there is someone who likes us in spite of our faults, someone who can tell us what is wrong and no offense is taken. Troubles never seem quite so bad if there is someone with whom we can share them. The saying “A friend is one who loves us in spite of our achievements” has a good deal of truth in it. Success doesn’t mean quite so much if there is no one with whom to share our good fortune or to appreciate our praise. What glory is there in doing something well if there is no one near who encourages us and makes us want to do even better things? No one can expect love and respect, though, if he or she does not offer himself to others. A kind word or a bit of praise never hurts anyone. It is so much easier to be pleasant than to be disagreeable. Gossip and sarcasm make others bitter toward us and in turn erase a cycle of nasty remarks. Friends aren’t made that way. Loyalty, considerateness, and honesty with one another are essential elements. Giving praise when praise is due and criticism when there is need and just cause stimulate us to try for greater goals. Remember a pat on the shoulder of a depressed friend may be returned when you are in need. “Give to the world the best that you have and the best will come back to you” perhaps when it is least ex¬ pected and most needed. “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” ( 80 ) One Summers Life By Lillian Diehl When I was first born I saw others like me on a hill overlooking a pleasant valley. As I was new, everything was exciting. The sun burned brightly and warmed my green body. But then it be¬ came dark and sometimes I stayed awake to marvel at the wonders of the sky. The huge round orange ball was the most spectacular of all. It lent an air of serene beauty over all the valley. Sometimes the sky became dark with clouds and then cool wet drops fell upon me and cooled my green blade. I remember one time that the sun. burned brightly and still more brightly like a bright new coin in the firelight. I became pale and scorched. I began to gasp for breath, and then suddenly the sun was blotted out and cool sweet rain fell upon me. The drought was over. Each day I thrust my head toward the blue sky and then the giants came to tor¬ ment me. They trampled and bruised my tender body. The peace and tranquility of the valley were disturbed by the noise and confusion of battle. Many rains came and went before the blood stains were washed from me. But my life returned, and I once more stood tall and straight. Now the sun is not quite so warm and I see white wet things falling from the sky. I am getting cold and drowsy. All these things have I seen; yet people say what can a blade of grass know of fife? Old WHS Through A Sophomore’s Eyes By Frances I have had ever so many people tell me that my high school days will be my hap¬ piest, and while I haven’t lived long enough to know whether that’s so or not, I do know these are happy ones indeed. Last year I thought I was pretty busy, but my time and allowance never ran out as both are doing right now. The questions always seem to be, “ Have you gotten your lessons? Can you go right to bed when you get back? Is this game really that im¬ portant ?” My biggest complaint about W.H.S. comes quite often—between every class, in fact. Why, oh why do I always get the locker that has to be worked six times and often another two for good measure before it will open? No answer? Oh well, I wasn’t expecting one anyway. I don’t think any student can be truly happy unless he or she really likes the sub¬ ject being taken. That’s the way I feel about it at least. Fortunately, I like all of my subjects. They’re not all easy, but if they were, they wouldn’t be half as inter- Ellen Coley esting. Gee! I surely hope it will always be like this. Last year, I as well as many of my friends, was sick about being broken up into various classes; now, however, I’ve changed my mind. Instead of losing con¬ tact with old friends, the ties have grown stronger; besides that I have learned to know many other interesting people. I do hope the second table from the back in the cafeteria doesn’t fall down or the floor doesn’t cave through, for it would be just awful to have to break up our lunch group of twelve or thirteen even though the table is intended for just seven or eight. One thing about a school like W.H.S. and the activities that go on within her walls is that one can’t put on paper all the funny, serious, in other words, wonderful things that go on. Happily, I still think W.H.S. “tops” all schools. Waynesboro High School, I love you, I love you, I love you, you enter, and often center, in all my dreams. ( 82 ) The Beauty of Nature By Janet Knicely Nature is generous To both rich and poor, She leaves her beauty At each one’s door. The gold of the sunset, The whippoorwill’s call, The chirps of the cricket, Give pleasure to all. You don’t have to wait Or travel afar, If you look you will find it Right where you are. With mystic beauty And dreamy grace, The trees of autumn, Sway in their place. The dawn of a day, When the blue gives away to gold, Is a beauty unsurpassed By anything ever told. The winter snow. The ice covered pond, Are some of the pleasures Of which we are fond. The song of a bird, The hum of a bee, Are some of nature’s Free gifts, to you and to me. All of the ways, That have been mentioned Are the beauties of nature, That attract our attention. ( 83 ) My Room By Joyce Hintze When you enter a room much like mine, Here is what you will find: Peter Lawford, Van Johnson, and such is the like, Betty Grable, Lana Turner—my what a sight, Movie Stars everywhere from windows to doors; You find them sometimes even on floors. Pin-up girls will always thrive As long as there’s a boy alive, But don’t worry, girls, there’s nothing to fear As long as they stay far away from here. The school clippings are on the wall Of the Championship game in basketball; Also a picture of the tennis team, A birthday party, and the May-Day Queen. There are signs on the wall which will say, “Private,” “No Trespassing,” or “Rooms for a Day,” “Furnished Rooms,” and “No Smoking,” you’ll find, too, But don’t believe them, they’re not for you. ( 84 ) Dedication By Leona Armentrout Silently the harvest moon appears o’er the darkly silhouetted mountain tops, like a great beacon of safety to a world blanketed in the indigo velvet of night. Slowly, one by one, the mischievous stars appear to play across the soft carpet of the heavens. The same moon, and yes, the same stars that kept their faithful vigil over the blood-soaked battle fields; for they are the spirit of the warriors, flinching from the missiles of death, yet never retreating, until each morning fewer were left to hail the triumphal sun, resplendent in its brilliance. Now it is night again, and the mellow moon appears once more, majestically commemorating the memories of these brave soldiers of battle to the hearts of those they left behind. The stars are the millions who died and left them as their parting gift, but each night the moon is a different one, forever shining; for their number was great in death, yet far more in life, for their spirit lives on though their bodies be but dust beneath the white sands of the distant shores of strife. Yet, in Lincoln’s immortal words, “We cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground, for those who here gave their lives have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract; it is rather for us the living to be here dedicated to the task which those who here gave their lives have thus far so nobly advanced.” So guided by their memory, inspired by their spirit, and aided by the hand of God, may we this day pledge ourselves to accept the challenge of those who “gave their last full-measure of devotion” and henceforth endeavor to build a just and lasting peace on earth, that all men may live in true brotherhood, one with the other. ( 85 ) Oh! How I Hate A Speech (or Heebie-jeebies and Butterflies) By Mildred Maney Life for me went very smooth Until that fateful day, When teacher said, “Now class I cannot a speech delay.” We had to orate Monday morn’ That left me one whole week. For days I still could not decide Till I hit on, ‘Pike’s Peak.’ Those words kept ringing in my ears “A speech! a speech!” they ' d shout This was nothing new to me Yet ’twas the start of the “bout.” The day arrived all too soon. My judgment time was here, And when I rose before the class I thought I saw them sneer. “Your topic may be anything,” Said she, “that you may Choose. So I decided then and there, “Well, what have I to lose?” While knees did shake and hands did burn, I into my mind did reach And talked about the wond’rous peak But thought, “How I hate a speech!” My Treasures By Ruth Lucas My treasures are not kept in a satin case, Nor yet in a vault of steel so strong; But in my heart, and soul and mind, Where this type of treasures belong. My pearls are my memories dear, That shine in a soft and rosy heap; Memories that I will cherish long, Thoughts that with me I always keep. My rubies are my mother and dad; My sapphire is my sister so kind; My gold is a home in America; My silver; church, where peace I find. My money is my opportunity, To advance along the way of success; My diamonds are my friends, The ones I love and cherish best. No satin case nor vault so strong, Could ever hold these in measures; Let man keep his material wealth. But give me these; my treasures. ( 86 ) War or Peace By Binford Chew The hum of planes ove r our homes, our churches our towns, our cities; The bombs falling all around us killing many bring sorrow to others Like rockets in the dark of night; Destruction rains over all the world, War flaming around us Like a monster engulfing the world in flame, People toiling in human sweat Striving to insure peace for the world. The sun rises, the sun sets through a heavy mist. At night stars look over a world a world torn by war, a world destroyed by war, a world in rubble from war. The fields are plowed; not by plows but by tanks and troops churning the soil marching, marching, marching. Troops marching with their guns, Troops ready to attack the enemy, Troops ready to annihilate the enemy, Trains moving the sinews of war, Trains moving soldiers, Trains bringing the wounded from the depths of hell. Doctors working long hours to save lives, to save limbs, to save minds. When the horrors of war are over We look for peace, We hope to find peace, We find peace; Peace is quiet. Peace is tranquility of soul. Country sides are green instead of brown with war. Tanks have stopped bringing destruction, Cannons have stopped spitting fire; The world is once more at peace. The Sun Rises— The clouds float lazily over the world; a world which wants to hold peace. The world is calm, The world is peaceful, The world is quiet, The dew shines like diamonds. The brooks babble softly over the rocks covered with moss. The wind blows through the tree tops. Under these trees many men have died. But now the war is over. The Sun Sets— The moon lights up the world like a huge torch. The darkness is still with an occasional cricket calling or frog croaking; Another day has passed. What will the next day bring, WAR or PEACE? My Dream-You By Lurty Ross Long ago in distant lands ' I had a dream of you, Never hoping, never fearing Such a dream might be true. Countless nights I saw your face, Heard your laughter, watched your grace. Countless nights a dream divine, Afraid to wake, you were never mine. Afraid to move my sleeping arms, Afraid to lose your dreamland charms. Sunny morning made me miss, The dreamy wonders of your kiss. A silent slumber I want to keep, I know you only in my sleep. To sleep forever if I care, A dream of you I easily bear. But night is over, in awake, My loss of you is hard to take. I see the morning, shining bright, I live today, to dream tonight. ( 88 ) i The Symphony By Mary Louise Harry I heard the world’s greatest symphony as I went for a walk yesterday. I seated myself upon a rock as the music began to play. I felt that the Great Director was near in each soft breeze’s sigh. He told me there was nothing to fear when I go to him by and by. I heard the chorus of the birds and the rumble of the thunder. I saw the golden lightning flash as the skies were rent asunder. I heard the concert of the rain as it fell upon the ground. I saw the dances of the drops as they hit the grass with a bound. The symphony stopped, the noises were stilled, the air was cleared of strife. My mind was clear and I was ready to start a newer and better life. ( 89 ) Our Advertisers ( 90 ) TO THE SENIOR CLASS of 1947 We love you for what you are, but we love you yet more for what you are going to be.
