U 1 ' 7 e StudettU VmNESKORO HIGH SCHOOL Present 1950 S tflwe WAYNESBORO PUBLIC LIBRARY Locked in the heart of each of us is a place for our fondest memories. As we advance through the years, more and more memories are added to our collection. Often our memories help us relive a reality that, had it not been for such memories, would only be a dream of the past. To add to this group of memories in our heart, we have created the 1950 Skyline with the hope that it will, in the years to come, let us relive the wonderful years that dear Waynesboro High School gave us. ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS ADVERTISEMENTS Dedicati M .., In dedicating the 1950 Skyline, we have found it very difficult to choose words to describe this well-loved person. To each of us, she has been the inspiration we so needed to carry us through the year. Her never-ending patience and guidance have created within each of us a reserved spot in our hearts just for her. Without her, our lives would have been minus a certain knowledge, that now we have because of her kindness, under- standing, interest, and her friendship to all. To Miss Olive Wise, whom we shall never forget, we, the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred Fifty, do dedicate this volume. 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. THE SCHOOL BOARD Seated, Left to Right: Rev. Karl Maier, Mr. B. D. Cowan, Mrs. F. H. Swezey, Mr. N. F. H. Morrison, Mr. F. B. Glenn and Mr. JV. B.

It is indeed a pleasure to record these sentiments in the annual of the Half-Century.

You may continually rely upon my loyal and devoted friendship throughout the years to come. William J.

We look back to our freshman year in 1946 and remember how foolish and bewildered we must have been. It was hard for us to adjust ourselves to this new, exciting life, but we did and started our first year in high school by electing our class officers who were President, Mary Moore; Vice President, Char¬ lotte Hicks; Secretary-Treasurer, Jo Ann Sweet. In our sophomore year we buckled down to work, and since we were getting into the swing of things, we began taking an active part in pep rallies, football, basketball, dances and other things which are an active part of school life. This year three new clubs were organized: the Beta Club, F. H. A. Club and D. E. Club. We also had a play this year in which we introduced to the school our very famous “Atomic Power Mousetraps.” We elected Jo Ann Sweet as President; Eddie Myrtle as Vice President, and Ray Quillen as Secretary-Treasurer. We look back to our junior year with pride. That year we were the “upperclassmen” of W. H. S. That year we had a lot of jobs ahead of us, including a play to raise money for the Junior- Senior Prom and then giving the prom, which was a huge success. We elected Eddie Myrtle, Presi¬ dent; Fred Moyer, Vice President; Jimmy Hagwood, Treasurer, and Malcolm Wade, Secretary. This year—one of the best years of our lives—had arrived—we were Seniors! We had an awful lot of work ahead of us, but we enjoyed every minute of it. Our sports participation this year reached a higher peak than in previous years. We sponsored one of the biggest hits in the history of Waynesboro when we presented “The Varieties of 1950.” We made over $900 which we used for our senior class trip. The memories of the trip and of our senior year will forever be with us. It’s hard to leave W. H. S. after four years of good, hard work and the fun we had with the teachers and students. Truly this has been one of the most exciting and unforgettable years of our lives. With tears in our eyes, but with proudness ringing in our hearts, we bid farewell to dear old Waynesboro High School. 4 10 JANET LEE ARNOLD But, oh, she dances such a way, no sun upon an Easter Day is half so fine a sight.

All other wills of previous date are now made null and void by this testimony. Being of sound bodies and minds (except for a few bruises) we, the Senior Class do hereby make our last will and testament: Donnie Austin leaves his dislike for girls to Link Antro- bus who loves them all.

Tolley who can’t afford to buy a new pack. Connie Kurtz leaves Joan Hyman and her parties to all the envious Junior boys.

(Continued on page 69) CLASS PROPHECY How nice it is to sit here in my comfortable chair with my bedroom slippers and pipe. I think I’ll turn on the radio to Station WAYB, of course, and listen to my good friend, Buddy Coyner, who is owner, manager and chief janitor. Ah, here is the station. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today we have a special program on which I will tell you what has happened to the Senior Class of 1950. Many of them are big names in the news. George Shifflett joined the Air Corps, following in the footsteps of his brother. George Craig and Bill Shorter haven’t married yet. They still seem to have trouble with their women. Lee Norman is riding the waves again. He is right at home. Others who have joined the Navy are Bobby Steele and Junior East. Ray Weaver’s fine stock never fails to take first prize in the annual Staunton Fair. One of the fastest rising men in the U. S. Army is Brigadier General Conrad M. Guthrie. We wonder if he will retire from the Army and run for president. Donald has gone back to his Barnes and has a very nice-looking farm. Mr. Henley has gone to Spain. Janet Arnold has gone too. Patsy Speck is home on the range in Texas. Ruby Terrell and family just went to Philadelphia where her book of poems was published. Charlotte Hunt has joined the Navy. Just couldn’t stand to be far away from that sailor boy. Eugene Woods has gone back to Fairfield as principal after getting an education at W. H. S. Billy Moyer just wrote a book, “Silence is Golden.” Ann Coffey and Juanita Worley are walking side by side down the hospital corridors. Also in nurse’s uniform is Helen Worth. Billy Kerlin is the most eligible bachelor in Waynesboro. One chief objection, however, is his chickens. The Steagall political machine is running Tommy Haven for county sheriff. In the business world we find that Lee Griggs still hasn’t graduated from Hunter Swink’s Miracle Muscle- Building Course. Joan Kivlighan and Chuck, married of course, run a night club in New York, where Lois Freeman and Gladys Zimmerman dance, and J. W. Brady is a noted singer. He sings the blues since Doris left him. Guy Hoy runs a drugstore. In New York, naturally! Phvllis Miller is editor of her own magazine. Boys IVill Be Men. Doris Webb runs a profitable business manufacturing those things girls get for Christmas and boys never see. (In small sizes.) Betty Childress and June Talley have bought the Bowling Alleys. Dorothy Teter, Nellie Thompson, Genevieve Camp¬ bell, Gilda Foley and Phyllis Davis are secretaries to some of the prominent businessmen in Waynesboro. Some of these men are Charles Hanger, manager of Hamilton- Cook; Bernie Hintze, manager of the Telephone Com¬ pany, and Winfred Panned, manager of Rose’s. Mary Jo Davis finally got a job and just what she wanted. She is testing cigarettes for the Chesterfield Company. Margaret Critzer runs a stilt manufacturing company. Wynona Humphries has gone back to Buchanan where she has her old job back of taking up tickets at the movies. Ray Quillen runs the Waynesboro Nurseries, specializ¬ ing in giant redwood trees—which only Big Ray can trim. In the field of inventions these names are outstanding: Fred Moyer, the mechanical and engineering genius, just perfected and patented the very latest atomic monkey wrench. We see Mr. and Mrs. Clem Matheny (the former Louise Diggs) riding by Jimmy Austin’s garage in their new i960 model of the Garber-Ollinger car. On the subject of garages, William Dickerson has been making good with his Auto Works and Parts Company. David Kiddy has just put out a new type of motor scooter good for $150. Eddie Yoder has invented the most perfect brain machine in the world. He attributed his success to the fact that he copied it after his own. Here in some behind-the-screen dope on the celebrities in Hollywood: Eddie Myrtle, who has taken the Atomic Power Mouse¬ traps, Inc., radio programs to Hollywood, manages Western State in his spare time. 4 23 CLASS PROPHECY Jean Yancey has been very successful in Hollywood since Jane Russell retired. Since Roy Rogers left Hollywood for home, a couple of Waynesboro dudes have come into the picture. Form¬ erly known as Bobby Sayre and Jimmy Mayes, they are now known as the Rogers Brothers. Donald Thomas and Jimmy Hagwood are working hard on their new motion picture, “Mutt and Jeff.” Along the lines of engagements, matrimony and alimony , we hear that Martha Ann Swezey finally gave Eddie Myrtle the kiss he has been trying to get for the last ten years. Joanne Pence, now married, has sixpence. Martha Jones, who used to be a very capable manager of the basketball team, now manages Jerry Ryman. Doris Cowan Myrtle (Mike Myrtle, that is) is supply¬ ing W. H. S. with little Myrtles. Louise Diggs, Nancy Fitch, Shirley Lester, Ann Pannell and Betty Roadcap are now married (remember when we saw their diamonds glitter?) and are raising more students of W. H. S. Lotts of things have happened to Judy Kerby. If you hear music in the air, you can bet that it is Ann Speck practicing. She just made her debut at Carnegie Hall. The critics heaped praises upon the talented pianist. Doris Swartz is the music teacher FMS. Not long ago she announced her engagement to Eddie. Georgia Butler has been very successful with her “School of the Dance.” On the sporting scene we find that Don Austin has turned to professional basketball after making the all- star team five times at the University of Virginia. Roger Burnett has opened up a second-hand sporting goods store. He sells the athletic supplies that are missing from W. H. S. Coach Carl Jones is his main customer. Connie Kurtz is teaching the fundamentals of football to Janet Matheny’s kindergarten. And, speaking of sports, Guy Balsley and Hugh Batten have become bat boys for the Chicago Cubs. Eugene Simmons pitched his seventeenth straight vic¬ tory for the Washington Senators. Instead of “Gorgeous George,” it’s “Charming Char¬ ley” Stuples, the wrestler. Ann McCracken is on the National Rules Committee for Women’s Basketball. Jo Anne Sweet just won the World Championship in tennis at the Wimbledon Courts in England. Here are some of the items that have happened on the local scene: Phyllis Jones, Betty Wetzel and Jessie Brown have opened the third roller rink in Waynesboro, with the motto, “You fall, we haul.” Stanley Baker now argues with Mr. Brondoli about how much his store sells. Eugene King is still in 204, discussing history with Mr. Brondoli. Ronald Stokes is head end man in the Kiwanis Minstrel annually. Calvin Campbell has been promoted to manager of the meat department of A. P. Floyd Crouch is following in the footsteps of his father. He is pastor of a large congregation and leads the chapel services for W. H. S. Anna Mae McCourry is now a missionary for the Christian Church. Malcolm Wade is the principal of W. H. S.; we wonder if he allows holding hands in the halls. New positions on the faculty of this great educational institution are Jean Cook, teaching Home Ec.; Charlotte Hicks, teaching geometry; Betty Sayre, commercial teacher, and Frank Allen, teaching senior math. Now we have some news of the various clubs in Waynes¬ boro: Gene Dunn and Edward Bunch, founders of the Hot Rod Club, have just elected Charles McLear president. (We wonder why?) Robert Suddarth has just joined the Little Men’s Club. Raymond Moran is the president. And that is the top of the news from here. Be sure to stay tuned to this station to hear the top-flight comedian who took hose-nose Hope’s place. The one and only big-mouthed Leland Baker. This program came to you through the courtesy of William J. DeLong, Dean of the University of Virginia and world-famous educator. 4 24 CLASS OFFICERS Mary Bess Phillips. Landon Antrobus. Dottie Withers. . President ... .Vice President Secretary- T reasurer Class History Two years ago this fall the Class of ’51 entered W. H. S. as freshmen. We joined many of the school’s clubs and participated in school athletics. We elected Charlie Freed, President; Emory Brown, Vice President, and Joan Hyman, Secretary-Treasurer. At the end of the year we had a class picnic at Shenandoah Acres. When we returned a year later we had lost all, or most of our greenness. We joined the rest of the school clubs and turned out several good athletes. Our 9 class officers were: Joan Hyman, President; Charlie Freed, Vice President, and Janet Thomas, Secretary-Treasurer. This fall we returned with a different feeling in our hearts. This year we are upperclassmen. We selected our rings and sponsored a variety show, and had a pie and cake sale to help pay for the Junior-Senior Prom, which we gave for the seniors in the spring. We have remained active in the school’s clubs and athletics. Our class officers are: Mary Bess Phillips, President; Landon Antrobus, Vice President, and Dottie Withers, Secretary-Treasurer. 26 JUNIORS J LJ- Frank Allen Landon Antrobus Billy Balsley Mary Frances Barry Jane Coiner Ann Cole Peggy Comer Charles Crafton ■y ■ : V - „. • k ft 4 y u Dawn Cunningham .

Secretary-Treasurer CLASS HISTORY Success had come at last in September, 1949, to the Class of ’52. We were now to be called sophomores and not “green freshmen” and, too, we were to be looked upon as part of the upperclassmen. Remembering the freshman year brought back a memory of electing class officers: President, Catherine Swezey; Vice President, Flarry Reid, and Secretary- Treasurer, Jimmy Campbell. We also remember the Freshman Dance and the class picnic at Shenandoah Acres. This September, 1949, we started off with plenty of enthusiasm, and we were greeted with the same. We were well represented in many clubs, and had several football and basketball stars. We elected for our sophomore class officers: Presi¬ dent, Jimmy Campbell; Vice President, Charles Swezey; Secretar y-Treasurer, Marcia Maier. This year also found us in the Junior and Senior Variety Shows. As we are leaving the sophomore class, we leave this word to the future sopho¬ mores: Good luck—You’ll have fun. And we would like to leave a word to next year’s seniors: Look out! Here we come.

Treasurer CLASS HISTORY Last year we Freshmen were just little 7th Graders looking forward to the time when we would enter high school. We felt that then we would be “grown up”! Then came the great day when we did enter. At first we felt a little out of place, but now we feel at home. Of course, the lockers were hard to open and many tempers were lost be¬ cause of it. We were also treated very “cruelly” by the sophomores and upperclassmen. But they have let up on our punishment now and the lockers have finally learned that we are their new masters, and they are behaving much better. Then, we learned that we had to elect officers. We elected Joey Lawrence, President; Douglas Jones, Vice Presi¬ dent; Harriet Conrad, Secretary, and Dwight DeMasters, Treasurer. We are all looking forward to our future years of study and fun in Waynesboro High School. 40 Carl Alexander Jimmy Altice J. L.

Our main project this year was the revision of the honor code which we hope will prove successful in the years to come. 4 47 } GOLD and PURPLE ....

Besides the regular activities of the large group, soloists were encouraged, and several small ensembles were or¬ ganized. These included a small “radio” chorus, which did several broadcasts, a girls’ sextet, and a swing quartet. In addition to the regular fall and spring concerts, the Choral Club participated in several special events—the Christmas Pageant, the annual music festival in Harrisonburg, and local church program. For the first time, this year letters were awarded to girls completing at least two years of satisfactory participation. Seniors receiving letters included Betty Wetzel, Jessica Brown, Judy Kerby, Martha Jane Jones, Shirley Lester, Anna Mae McCourry, Wynona Humphries, Nancy Fitch and Doris Swartz. 4 50 ]§� Waynesboro School Band Personnel Flutes Patricia Yono Anne Turner Susan Dinwiddie Clarinets Mary Kitty Garber Jean Calvert Carolyn Wood Janice Wood Delores Thorne Eleanor Greene Mary Wheatley Nancy Barrett Bobby Steves Shirley Crawford Bass Clarinet Grayson Via Alto Saxophones Robert Fitzgerald Patricia Minix Tenor Saxophone Nancy Nash Baritone Saxophone Bobby Dungan French Horns Burke Ritchie Evelyn Irvin Sousaphone Rudy Bush Cornets J.

The band had the unique record of playing for all the winning games until the final with Harrisonburg. This included a trip to Lexington, and a Home-Coming parade. Miss Jo Jane Williams was drum majorette. March¬ ing activities continued in a Fireman’s parade, and culminated in two Christmas parades. In the first, at Staunton, the band brought home second prize, being nosed out by the Staunton Military Academy band. The next day it participated in the giant Christmas Festival parade as the host band. No prizes were awarded. Other activities included the regular fall and spring concerts, and a special program at Rosenwald. The band also participated in the annual spring music festival in Harrisonburg, and made a very creditable showing. There were numerous personnel changes in the band this year. Janet Thomas moved, but Jean Calvert came to us from the Woodstock band. Patricia Minix shifted to alto sax, Grayson Via took her place on bass clarinet. Nancy Nash changed to tenor sax. Bob Spilman transferred from clarinet to baritone. No students will be lost by graduation this year. Dance Band This newly organized group came into its own this year. It was “unveiled” to the student body during a National Education Week program, and then proved itself at a fall band dance, which was a huge success. It also played for a holiday dance at the DuPont Recreation Center, and a half hour radio show over WAYB. Big things are being expected of it in the future. Mr. Gamble directs and plays in the group. Original members included J. L. Barksdale, Billy Freeman, Winfield Willis, Jimmy Sandy, brass; Robert Fitzgerald, Patricia Minix, sax. Joyce Shifiett has been replaced by William Larsen on piano. Newest member is Rudy Bush, who will play the bass fiddle, newest piece of equipment in the band. Vocalists are Phyllis Forbus, Sylvia Sensabaugh and Ann Maupin. 4 51 LIBRARY ASSISTANTS . . .

The Club is always ready to help any other group or organization that might need help. By many, the Key Club is said to be the most active club in the school. The Key Club has sponsored several dances during the year. Among these dances were the Christmas Dance and the Home-Coming Dance. The Club sponsored a Home-Coming Parade and other activities during our 1949 football season. Checking hats and coats at concerts was one of our main means of raising money for the Club. Last year the Club sponsored the election of the May Queen and Court, and gave a May Day Dance in her honor. The motto of the Key Club is: “We know no No.” 4 57 SCIENCE CLIR . .

Coach Leitch —Coach has worked, very hard with the team this year, and deserves a lot of credit. Sportsmanship and team loyalty are two of Coach’s finest characteristics. Tommy Haven —Tom looked lazier all the time, hut despite his appearance he was a very efficient manager. Don Thomas —Don is a senior, and will be greatly missed next year for his shooting and rebounding. Ray Quillen —Ray is our center and has been on the team for two years. Ray is an excellent rebounder, and is at his best under the basket. Don Austin —This is Don’s third year on the team. He has proven himself as one of the finest guards in the con¬ ference with his ball handling and shooting. Roger Burnett —Roger is a forward and is especially good at tipping in rebounds off the backboards. Bobby Steele —Bob is our utility man and plays all posi¬ tions equally well. Bob is a tzvo-year man and will return next year. Harold Morris —Harold is a guard and is noted for his ball-handling ability. He is a junior and will be back next year. Connie Guthrie —Despite his lack of height, Connie was a fine player and the team hates to lose him next year. Richard Lotts —This is Richard’s last year, and a very successful one. Ilis shooting ability improved as the season progressed, and he will be missed very much next year. Bill Shorter —Bill graduates this year, and his basket¬ ball ability will be greatly missed next year. Jimmy Hagwood —Jimmy is the smallest man on the team and is known for his fine shooting eye. Jimmy Mayes —This is Jimmy’s second year on the team and has proven himself a capable player. 4 64 Front Row, Left to Right: Joe Lawrence, Roger Harmon, Charles Swezey, Richard Powell, JVing- field Willis, George Craig, John Plumb.
