WAYNESBORO HIGH SCHOOL PRESENT tjke f949 Saline WAYNESBORO PUBLIC LIBRARY c fiewofiJ Only the deepest of loves and the fondest of memories are able to survive the rampaging of Father Time, and sometimes even these fade and die unless they are kept alive by some small momento, some token. That is why we have devoted time, patience, thoughts, and effort to present to you, Seniors, this 1949 Skyline, as you are about to journey down the difficult road which leads to either success or failure. In a few years, your yearbook will hold a high position among your pos¬ sessions, and will become your permanent record of joys, sorrows, fun and laughs of your high school days. So, realizing the importance of a good annual, we present the result of our efforts, though imperfect and incomplete, to indicate our appreciation of the train¬ ing we have received here, to cement the ties of the friendships we have formed, and to journey with unfaltering steps to our life ahead. ★ intents ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS ADVERTISEMENTS OUR PRINCIPAL To be well liked by a large group of teen-agers, and older people as well, takes many fine and sincere qualities and much understanding, patience, and tolerance. We have had the honor, these past two years, of having in our midst such a person. It is because of his keen understanding of our individual problems, and because of his friendliness, guidance, and simplicity, that we have admired and respected him. Therefore, it is with sincere devotion and much joy and pride that we, the Senior Class of 1949, have found all t hese fine qualities and more in our friend and principal, Mr. Howard Bryant, and do dedicate our edition of the Skyline to him. May he be forever as friendly, kind and gracious as we have known him to be. Our Alma Mater School Song In the hills of old Virginia, The lovely Shenandoah, There’s a school that looms supremely, Each year I love it more. The sky is bright with sunshine, The spirit of love is there, There is truth and faith and courage And friends who do and dare. Chorus Dear Waynesboro High School, As time goes by, we’ll e’er Be faithful daughters and sons. We’ll float your colors only where There’s right. We’ll keep your standards Spotless and bright. Mr. F. B. Glenn Mr. M. H. Bryant Superintendent of Schools Principal It is indeed a pleasure to be associated with the students, faculty, and friends of Waynesboro High School. The helpful, cooperative spirit of those concerned with our school makes it possible for us to move toward the realization of sound objectives. A feeling of mutual confidence, open-mindedness, a willingness to work, and a soundness of purpose are essential if progressive and harmonious results are achieved. The privilege of an education places a responsibility upon us—a responsibility to become vitally interested in the welfare of all mankind; a responsibility to un¬ derstand and cast our votes wisely in matters of local and national importance; a responsibility to contribute, each in his own way, toward maintaining and strength¬ ening our free way of life.

Peggy Glenn was the speaker, and Dick Lovegrove and Hunter Swink were Dixiecrat vote-getters and babykissers. Below: Christmas pageant held Friday, December 17. The theme was “No Room,” with Martha Ann Swezey as the Queen of Roses. This play was performed in grand fashion and its message to us was that God should live in the heart of every man. Tommy Guthrie . President Eugene Daugherty. . Vice President Richard Lotts. . Secretary-Treasurer Senior Class History In September, 1945, we made our entrance to Waynesboro High School. We were the greenest of “green horns,” but gradually things straightened out in our bewildered minds, and we elected Margaret Armentrout, president; “Pinkie” Wade, vice president, and Mil Maney, secretary-treasurer, as our officers. Three new clubs were formed that year: The Latin, Spanish and Girls’ “W” Clubs. We were also represented on the Social Com¬ mittee, Student Council, Red Cross, Choral Club, Cheerleaders, Boys’ “W” Club and the annual staff. September, 1946, arrived. The group of forty-niners mingling together was smaller, more sure of them¬ selves, and definitely prepared for any “uppity upperclassmen.” We were in the midst of everything, including the newspaper staff, the band and sports. With Margaret Little, president; Tommy Guthrie, vice president, and Bill Shorter, secretary-treasurer, we grew into a real part of W. H. S. At last we were “Jolly Juniors” and Lipperclassmen! ! It was a wonderful year with the sports and club activities to which the Beta, F. H. A., Key and D. E. Clubs were added. Of course, our Junior-Senior Banquet, over which we worked so hard, was a success. We chose Bill Smith as class president, Tommy Hassard as vice president and Richard Lotts as secretary-treasurer. Indeed it was an unforgettable year. September came again, but how different it was from previous ones. We had front seats in assembly, early lunch privileges, our fellow-classmen in positions of honor, and all of this because we were Seniors! ! The Honor Code functioned well as did Driver Training and the Lyre Club. Athletics were average. We reached our ultimate goal—graduation—but old W. H. S. and you faculty members, who have guided us so well, don’t think for a moment that you won’t be in our minds and hearts throughout the years to come. 4 10 } BETTY MAE ALLEN Who well lives, long lives JO ANN ANDERSON MARGARET MARIA ARMENTROUT The light of friendship is like the light of The art of love is loving and being loved phosphorus, seen plainest when all around is dark CHARLES E.

All these things have been distributed according to the needs of the receiver. They are her decisions definitely arrived at, after serious deliberation. We, the Class of 1949, in ninety-one individual and dis¬ tinct parts, in the act of passing out of this sphere of educa¬ tion with a well-trained, high-toned mind and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, making all others null and void, as well as any speeches made by us during our minutes of leisure.

This is your New York correspondent, Walter Winchell, speaking Let’s go to press. FLASH! The great genius, Professor Albert Einstein, has just completed what is definitely the invention of the ages. It is ... a time machine. Yes, I said a time ma¬ chine. This machine makes it possible for humans to see what will happen, and what has happened, any place in the world at any time. And now, I am going to devote the rest of my program to telling you a human interest story connected with Einstein’s invention. Yesterday Einstein received a visit from a man who lives in Waynesboro, Virginia. This man, who is “ready fo r Freddie,” explained that the one thing he would like was to see what the Class of ’49 at Waynes¬ boro High School would be doing in ten years. The pro¬ fessor was glad to comply with his wish, and as he pushed various buttons, Waynesboro in 1959 flashed on a screen. Sitting at a toy piano in Hamilton and Cook Hardware Store was Jimmy Cook. When he is not busy playing, he manages the store. Paul Shue, now a civil engineer, has just completed a new Florence Avenue bridge, Chuck Hutton having finally worn it out. “Hollywood” Quick just turned down his third offer for a screen test. It seems he just won’t leave his admirers. Sylvia Herron Arey can be seen pecking away at a typewriter in Johnny’s office. She also saves after hours for him. There is also another typist, Pat Hollar. However, as always, she can’t make up her mind as to her permanent boss. Alyce Sandridge, Waynesboro’s new public librarian, has just finished the last page of the latest book written by Dick Lovegrove, the famous journalist. John Taylor, Hunter Temple and J. D. Tyree can always be found at Drakes, day or night. Paul Martin is now carrying mail and he lets neither rain, sleet, nor snow stop him. At the lookout tower at George Washington National Forest, Bennett Campbell can be seen peering through the trees in search of little blazes. Gene Heatwole never has to worry about curly hair anymore; Pat Lily, a beautician, gives him a fingerwave every night. Sitting at the principal’s desk here at W. H. S. is Peggy Glenn. The saying is not, “Like father, like son,” but, “Like father, like daughter.” “Petite” Shirley Grant is still receiving those visits from the traveling salesman. She must like his products because she gets all her clothes from him. Bertie Mae Smith, Pauline Wood and Joyce Thompson have made that fateful trip down the aisle. We hope they live happily ever after. Albert Swink has become the editor-in-chief of the News-Virginian and is assisted by Harold Frasher. Harold is mighty glad that one of the reporters is that cute girl he has been squiring around. Christine Sprouse and Audrey Taylor are keeping step to all of the latest marches. Ben Dorrier is managing Hicks’s Service Station. Could it be the ice cream he likes? A little bird told Margaret Plumb that he loved her, the bird being Robin Steele. They now have that cottage not too far, all fenced in like a movie star. Johnny Troxell, who always drove a motor scooter, now does daring stunts in a motorcycle act. Douglas Gumm, Grace Hanger and Irene Hodge have joined the ranks of office career girls. They’re whizzes at shorthand and typing. Hunter Swink, Mr. Atlas II, is running a correspondence course for all puny Americans. Cannon Steele is his star pupil. Dot Critzer is drilling the basketball team at W. H. S., trying to teach them to make those wonderful, long shots. Assisting Dot is Barbara Heatwole who also heads a posture class. Betty Alae Allen has spent all her time since graduation thinking up new hair styles. She has now written a book entitled, A Thousand Ways with the Hair. Jean Ann Copper Coleman is painting portraits of no one but Ronald Coleman. Buddy just wasn’t the model type. Buddy Fitzgerald finally traded in his old Model A. He has a Model T now. Since Miss Treakle married and resigned, Eleanor Sue Hutton has filled her position as Religious Education Director. Mary Ann Myrtle spent so much time at Fishburnes that Mr. Fishburne installed a special booth for her and her friends. Arnett Tomey, of the Tomey Drug Chain, is noted for the big scoops of ice cream he gives to all the good-looking girls. Yvonne Garber and Dudley have become Mr. and Mrs. and are still playing their theme song, “My Happiness.” Sue Lawless and Connie Kurtz have just moved to Swannonoa and are throwing a gala house-warming party soon. Mr. Wilson let Meredith Wright drive one of the trucks the other day. Keep your eyes on the road, Meredith. Martha Pleasants, Louise Powers and Carlie Potter are kept busy showing off their 24K wedding rings. • {23 A dance room has been added to Beard’s Pool Room, with Sonny Beard and Rosalie entertaining. Martha Butler finally convinced the head of F. M. S. that a female teacher will do the boys some good. Billy Plumber is now a F. B. I. man; Finest Brushes, Incorporated, that is. Margaret Armentrout Matthews is still reading her ’49 Skyline and wondering how she could be so clever. Louise Hoy is the first woman manager of Roses. Marie Wagner did so well in Home Ec. that she is teaching the subject at W. H. S. now. To continue my story, the professor was then asked if he could find out what those who moved from Waynes¬ boro would be doing. They were scattered across the country, but after adjusting the controls, Einstein saw this: Stella Nicely and Rebecca Fravel, who were always so quiet in school, are directing tours in Williamsburg, dressed in 18th century costumes. Dr. Joseph Paul Glick, Jr., now practicing in North Carolina, is hoping that a certain Little girl will become one of his patients. Also in North Ca rolina is Patricia Pendergraft. She directs the “ Amberlights,” who appear weekly over WBT, Charlotte. Frances Ellen Coley Fisher has settled on a Connecticut farm, raising little chicos. The “Which twin has the Toni?” ad now features Audrey Hamilton and Rudolph Reed, separately, of course. And on the high seas, “Peaches” Wright is captain of a large yacht, with Seaman Brown under his command. Jay Mize and Lee Norman are bravely defending our land, since they joined the Army and Navy respectively. Eugene Daugherty is also wearing navy blue. He patrols Hawaii in a fighter so there won’t be a second Pearl Harbor. Eva Owens, after completing her nurses’ training at Johns Hopkins, decided to stay in Baltimore because of the good-looking internes. Professor Jerry Cummings, of the University of Virginia, has just finished his first textbook, How to Drink and Stay Sober. Dr. DeMasters, at the De jarnette Sanatorium, is healing patients by the score. Just looking at him makes them feel healthy. F. B. I. man, Justice East, helped maintain justice by forcing Bill “Lover” Smith into exile with his twenty wives. “Lover” is now in Arabia operating his little harem smoothly. Brian Ross and Bobby Critzer, who could never find their voices in high school, are making lecture tours throughout the country. Mildred Maney, the successful designer, operates a studio in sunny New Orleans. Steve, who lured her there, adores her . . . creations? Mary Ann Johnson can be found on a plantation in the deep South, lazily sipping a mint julep, resting in the shade, and saying, “Honey, does yo’ all really love me?” to her lover. Journalist Dick Lovegrove is throwing a wild(?) party for some of his friends. Present among the guests are Doug Smith, Richard Lotts, Van Irvine and Nita Ellison. Doug, whose band is playing at the Waldorf, is trying to revive those old favorites, “Smoke, Smoke, Smoke,” and “Wabash Cannon Ball.” Richard and Van are playing professional basketball. We hear they’re on the ball both on the courts and off. Nita has put her bubbling enthusiasm to good use. She is singing the commercials for the Double-Bubble Bubble Bath Company. President Truman used his influence to have Tom Guthrie, his very loyal follower, appointed as engineer commissioner for Washington, D. C. J. S. McMillan is still trying to make the frosh football team at Clemson. Bill Shorter finally entered S. M. U. He has high hopes for wearing jersey “35.” Minnie Gray Kibler received an offer from a South American senor to learn the rhumba and samba so she has flown to Venezuela. Jane Beard and Mary Ann Keenan are picking out only the best tobacco for Lucky Strike. “Tru-toe” Terry is the All-American, extra-point kicker this year. His secret is putting all his weight behind the kicks. That W. H. S. beauty, Lois Lawhorn, is resting on the laurels of her title,“Miss America.” She won that in 1952, and we hear that she may win the “Mrs. America” contest this year. Elizabeth Wyant and Juanita Carr have joined Fred Waring’s Glee Club. When the last scene had faded from sight, the Waynes- borian thanked Einstein profusely and went away. And now with lotions of love, I remain your New York cor¬ respondent, Walter Winchell, who wishes all these young people, about whom I spoke tonight, full, happy, and prosperous futures. ■4 24 9 Jean W C ' pP £R OFFICERS Eddie Myrtle President Fred Moyer Vice President Malcolm Wade Secretary Jimmy Hagwood Treasurer Junior Class History Looking back through time, we see the year 1946. This was a great year for all of us for we were now entering high school. As freshmen will be, we were bewildered at so many new things to learn but finally, after catching on to things, we chose our class officers and began participating in sports and other activities. Class officers were: President, Mary Moore; Vice President, Charlotte Hicks; Secretary-Treasurer, Jo Ann Sweet. 1947, coming up! We had lost all feeling of being green freshmen and had begun to get into the swing of things. We were taking part in football, basketball, and dances, all of which were part of sophomore life. We elected Jo Ann Sweet as President, Eddie Myrtle as Vice President, and Ray Quillen as Secretary-Treasurer. Finally the big year arrives. We are now Juniors! It gives us a wonderful feeling, for now we are “upperclass¬ men.” This year we have chosen Eddie Myrtle as President, Fred Moyer as Vice President, Jimmy Hagwood as Treasurer and Malcolm Wade as Secretary. As in the preceding years, we participated in the sports and other activities of the school. We have given a play to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom which was a big success. Well, the first three years at good ole W. H. S. have almost passed by, but these will be years we will all remember, and we’re looking forward to next year when WE will be the “Seniors” of W. H. S. • { 26 } 3 «- % t) j( €«• 10 J x � ft . ' JT JUMAUi ’ A — � • i jj..

At first we were met by many strange things such as the changing of classes and the lockers that seldom open the first time. It was not hard for us to see how the upperclassmen enjoyed high school. In the first pep rallies we didn’t have very much school spirit but soon we caught the spirit and were cheering with the others. Members of the class tried out for most of the sports and joined many school clubs. Our class officers for our first year were: Presi¬ dent, Charles Freed; Vice President, Emory Brown; Secretary-Treasurer, Joan Hyman. At the end of the school year, we went on a class picnic to Shenandoah Acres. This September, a year later, we again entered these halls with a high expectation of a year full of fun and variety. This year several of the boys turned out to be star athletes and also many joined the rest of the school’s clubs. Our class officers for this year were: Presi¬ dent, Joan Hyman; Vice President, Charles Freed, and Secretary-Treasurer, Janet Thomas. We now look forward to the future years at Waynesboro High School. 4 34 First Row Across Landon Antrobus Patricia Bayley Eugene Bazzera Mary Frances Berry Ona Dean Burkholder Sophomores Second, Row Across Alice Chandler Rosa Lee Cline Jane Coiner Charles Crafton Doris Davis Third Row Across Bonny Deadrick Harold Dooms Joanne Eanes Ray Fitzgerald Robert Fitzgerald Fourth Row Across Ann Fockler Charles Freed William Freeman Naomi Garret Susan Garret Fifth Row Across Jeanette Glick Eleanor Green Betty Hanger Janie Hankins Patricia Harlow 4 35 } I$ «h Sophomores First Row Across Ran ny Harrison Susie Hartbarger Shirley Houseman Bobby Hoy Steven Hughes ION ■ ' ' • ' T , jfCf A ' ' econd Row Across Joan Hyman Claudette Kennedy Jean Kent Gloria Kiddy Patsy Lipscomb Third Row Across Bobby Lou Lovegrove Mary Ann Lowry Jean Marks Sarah Ann Masincup Richard Matheny Fourth Row Across William McConnel Freda McDaniel Mary Moore Howard Padgett Roger Padgett Fifth Row Across Mary Bess Phillips Patricia Poulson Richard Powell Patsy Shorter Dickie Steves 4 36 } i p ' JUQa ti ) A fcfust jL Qjlc ■icrTfaL First Row Across t H ' LawW- ' Sophomores Second Row Across Betty Taylor Brandon Taylor Gail Tench Jayne Trimble Mary Jane Wheeler Jo Jane Williams Dottie Withers James Yearout 4 37 J Sophomore Who ' s Who Most Popular Charles Freed Joan Hyman Laziest Ned Moses Sarah Ann Mascincup Best Dancers Ranny Harrison Mary Bess Phillips Most Conceited.

For seven long years it had been our only desire to be in high school. At last, our dream came true. To be in high school meant we were growing up. There were a lot of things to look forward to. We would have our own lockers and different teachers. Last September, approximately 175 Freshmen were registered and soon they buckled down to their big job of learning what was ahead of them. There are five Freshman home rooms. The home-room teachers are: Miss Ruth Phipps, Mr. Walter Shumann, Mrs. Gladys Wood, Mrs. Betty Ogg, and Mr. Eugene Brondoli. During the past term, nearly all of the Freshmen have taken an interest in basketball, football, softball, and other sports. We have enjoyed this first year in high school, and we are looking forward to being Sophomores next year. 4 40 Freshmen Jack Anderson Jack Ball William Barnes Douglas Batten Shirley Brown Arthur Campbell Jimmy Campbell John Canada Jane Carr Maynard Cash Ruth Chandler Barbara Chiles Mabel Collett Bertie Courtney Jimmy Cowan James Craig Mary Crouch Alan Dale Louise Darnell Henry Davis Maxine Davis Nancy Day Helen Diffee Patsy Dodd Phyllis Doyle Raymond Feddon Jane Fitzgerald Glenn Frasher Shirley Gaw Shirley Hewitt Wanda Hicks Evelyn Hodge •� !!{ 41 }!! • Dorothy Neighbors Florence Newcomb Mervin Newman Joe Nicely Peggy Pattie Rebecca Payne Graydon Pendergraft Janie Powers Suzanne Hollar Agnes Hoover Ned Hughes Clifton Janney Doris Kanney Patricia Kennedy Mildred Kent Athena Kostul Louise Krouse Ray Lafferty Joanne Miller Gilbert Mitchell Ann Morrison Delton Mass 4 ) Ruby Moyers Leland McAllister Mary Anne McDaniel Dreama McGuire Russell Leap Ch, CHARLOTTE RlNK , , MAS LoWRY Ruby Lee Masincu Delores Mathen Marcia Ann Maier Freshmen Agnes Pleasants Joyce Roberts Eliza Serrett Joyce Shiflet Barbara Smith Mary E.

The Gold and Purple is a mimeographed newspaper, published with the aim of making it accessible to and enjoyed by all the students. This is the first year that it has been mimeographed, and it averages fourteen pages per issue.

During the year the girls sponsored the annual Christmas Dance of the high school. This dance proved quite a success due to a lot of hard work and good organization.

The boys played an aggressive brand of ball to make up for this deficit and ended their season with a record of two wins and four defeats. Some of these boys who showed improvement will help compose next year’s Varsity squad. 61 Boys ' Varsity Basketball Donnie Austin —Guard —One of the most consistent players on the ’ 4Q team. Donnie will be back next year to hold down his guard position. Roger Burnett —Forward —Roger proved to be a fine re¬ bounder and a good shot on the inside. Good ball handler. Van Irvine —Center —Van is one of the most efficient and consistent players on the team. His rebounding will be sorely missed as he graduates this year. Richard Lotts —Forward —A good shot and one of the high scorers for the season. Richard will return next year to pick up where he left off. Ray Quillen —Forward —Ray is an excellent rebounder and very effective under the basket. Will be back to take over his forward position next year.

Bobby Steele —Forward —He has a good eye and is tall. He will return next year to fight for a forward position. Howard Shultz —Center— Howard, a newcomer to the varsity squad this year, shows promise in the center position. Jimmie Mayes —Forward —This is Jimmie ' sfirst year on the varsity squad but he shows considerable talent and is a promising prospect for next year. Donald Thomas —Forward —Don is a good all-round ball player with plenty of height and a good eye. He may be starter for next year. Coach has had quite a few newcomers to his var¬ sity squads this year, and he has worked with un¬ tiring effort and the patience of Job. Coach, in addition to his wonder¬ ful work in the athletic line, has taught a driver training course for the past two years.

Boys ' Junior Varsity Basketball This year’s Junior Varsity Basketball Team seems to be headed for a successful season. The team is young and inexperienced, and should improve with every game. Under the direction of Coach Truman Southall some of these boys should be ready for varsity service next year, should they continue to improve. 4 63 Girls ' Varsity Basketball Lois Lawhorne —Forward —With her gentle touch, the hall is sure to go in. Margaret Plumb —Forward —Her careful planning will sure bring two points. Pauline Wood —Forward —She is sure to be in there on a jump. Mary Lou White —Guard— Oh, that height, what an advantage!

Girls ' Junior Varsity Basketball The Girls’ Junior Varsity gained experience during their past season which should really set the m on their way. They were overpowered in their game with Harrisonburg but rapidly improved. One particularly close score was the last game with Fairfax Hall. At the end of the third quarter the score was tied, 16—16. There was some fast ball playing, but Fairfax Hall came out ahead with a final score of 23—18. The Jayvees had the quality of good sportsmanship and found the secret of team work. With these girls, W. H. S. can look forward to an unde¬ feated Varsity Team in future years. 4 65 V Varsity Hockey Members of the Varsity Hockey: Margaret Armentrout, Pat Bayley, Margaret Critzer, Mary Jo Davis, Louise Diggs, Barbara Heatwole, Charlotte Hicks, Nancy Johnston, Ann McCracken, Margaret Plumb, Jo Ann Sweet, Martha Ann Swezey, Jane Trimble, Mary Lou White and Elizabeth Wyant.

Cheerleaders The cheerleaders for the ’48-’49 season were elected by popular vote of their respective classes. Clad in white skirts,or trousers, and sweaters, each cheerleader did his part throughout the year to see that the good ole’ gold and purple was well defended. Rain or shine, they faithfully attended and cheered for each and every sport, whether it was football, hockey or basketball. It takes a cheerleader two years to earn his letter. Two years of practice, two years of attending every pep rally and game, and two years of a lot of hard work, but when the big day came for those flashy purple “ W’s” to be presented, it was well worth the hard grind. The “W” isn’t really the important part of a cheerleader; it’s the spirit with which they defend what that “W” stands for. 4 67 } Happenings Hereabout “ Little Rudy. Quite a pose , boys.
