As each young person leaves his haven of school life, he will desire a reminder of the paths along which he has walked during his school days. LOU The gifts of the world are great, and sometimes we never stop to realize how blessed we are to be able to live, during our youth, with persons whose gestures indicate only love and faith. We, the members of the Senior Class of 1955, have chosen to. dedicate this volume of the Skyline to a beloved member of our faculty, Mrs. Mary G. Bear, whom we know as a loyal, devoted friend to all the students of Waynesboro High School. “Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope—”, a portion of a verse from the eternal Book of Life, assures us that you have been to us everything a teacher should be, at all times an amiable and cheerful person. It is with pleasure that we present this book of memories to you, and our only hope is that we shall never be lost from your memory. chcol en f 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. Dear IVaynesboro 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 , IVe’ll keep your standards spotless and bright. “My best wishes to you.” These are the words I have written over and over again, when pupils have asked me to autograph their annuals. Time and again I have wished that I could say something more appropriate, but these old familiar words seem to express best what I want to say to you. Here at Waynesboro High School we are building for the future, and it is for the future, when you will need courage, persistence, tolerance, and under¬ standing, that I extend you my best wishes and the expressed hope that what has been done here will help you. The true purpose of education, someone has said, is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us; to develop, to their fullest extent, the capac¬ ities of every kind with which God who made us has endowed us. We have tried to develop a few of those capacities; you must strive to develop others. We hope we have given you the tools with which to develop them, and we extend you a sincere wish for success in your venture. J. L. Johnson, Principal t Left to Right: Mr. J.

On October 21 and 22 the dramatic students of the senior class were seen in a three-act comedy, situated in a college dormitory, entitled “The Brain Storm.” The second presentation by the seniors was their annual Variety Show. Comedy, dance, and musical acts composed a highly entertaining evening for the hundreds of people who attended this event on March 31 and April 1. The funds from these productions made possible the annual senior trip to Washington.

Secretary Another school year has passed, and as time marches on, we, the Class of 1955, leave behind us four of the most wonderful years of our lives. As we look back, we wonder where the time has gone, but when we look at ourselves, we can see that there has been a great change that only time could have performed. We were a bunch of confused “green Freshmen” our first year, always looking forward to the next year when we would be “silly Sophomores.” Then when our Junior year rolled around, things really started popping. Our Junior Varisty Show and Junior-Senior Prom went off with a bang. Now we are Seniors and we have all the memories that go with our Senior Year. Our Senior Play, Senior Variety Show and Senior Trip are behind us, and as we step into the shoes of adults, we leave, taking with us part of the spirit of W. FI. S., and in turn, hoping that we have contributed something to its personality. We want to say “thank you” to our principal and faculty for all of their help and encouragement during the past four years and apologize for the added gray hairs. And so we bid farewell to these familiar halls, a little envious of the “green Freshmen” who have four more years ahead of them. { 13 V 3 eniot Dorothy Amelia Anderson “ I have a heart with room for every joy. ” Judith Charlene Anderson “ In thy face 1 see the map of honor, truth, and loyalty. ” Sterling Junior Beard “One who is humble out of pride.” Barbara Ann Bowers “ To see her is to love her.” Jerry Lynn Brooks “He laughs and the world laughs with him.” Starliss Elora Brooks “ Work fascinates me; I could sit and look at it always.” Andrew Beverley Brown “A true friend is always a friend.” Doris Marie Burnett “Beauty of behavior is finest of fine arts.” Chester Wayne Campbell c- ■- Vaughan A.

I’m a cop. My name’s Thursday. This is my partner, Mark Cook, that famed detective from New Orleans. This is the “dope” we got on the graduating class of 1955. The story you’re about to hear is true. The numbers have been changed to names “cause you just can’t hardly get them no more, so there you are, and here I am, and here’s the story.” I find that Toni Jordan has taken Dior’s place in Paris. The new styles are quite the thing. Holmes Withers is doing commercials on television. He is a mattress tester for The Beautyrest Company. Edith Hyman has recently converted her department store into a modern little shop. This shop carries the most recent styles and fashions in men’s clothing. Grayson Via reached his ambition. He has become a millionaire from the inheritances of his rich girl friends. Barbara Johnson is teaching at a Charm School in Boston. All of her students learn to be brilliant conversationalists. Eddie Fisher, Jr., has just chosen a new accompanist. It is none other than Peggy Johnson. Attention all boys ! ! ! Watch out !!!... Billy Stinespring is a state trooper. Delores Kennedy and Janet McCracken are out of the States at the present. These secret service agents are still on the trail of “Greasy Joe.” Audrey Kerby is the test pilot for the “Death-in-a-Minute” airport. She went for her first flight last night and hasn’t returned yet. Notre Dame is now in charge of our hero, Jay Whitesell. Gay Kesterson and Mary Pannell have become great hits in Hollywood. You can write in any time and get the footprints of their pet lions. Their most ardent fans are Kenneth Layton and Don Stinespring. Anita Leavel is touring Mexico and is entertaining the President with her dances. Buddy Phillips is operating a cab stand. He owns four cabs; however, three of the four aren’t in running condition.

Donnie Wassell has replaced John Wayne and can be seen in person in the lobby of the Cavalier Theater. America’s sophisticated model, Joyce Meadows, is leaving for England to model fcr the queen.

As a mail carrier, he owns three expensive and beautiful guards (dogs of course!) to keep the dogs on his route off his heels.

Shirley Spears is making a career of the Army, as well as Homer, for she is now raising her own troop. Martha Jane Spilman, a great flute soloist, has become a great celebrity on television and radio. She is assisting Liberace and his brother, George. The great Broadway star, Dabney Sweet, has dyed her hair lime green. Corky Roberts is co-starring with her in “Jitterbug Blues”. Dabney made her dancers dye theirs also . . . (Gold and Purple). Patsy Waggy now owns the University of Virginia Hospital. I hear Sammy is her most critical patient. Mary Faythe Vines was rushed to the hospital following an accident. Her old boy friend lost control of his brakes and car wheels and ran over her right big toe naii. Betty Willis, an artist, has given up painting since she painted Ann Watkins, the famous fashion designer of clothes. Ann can be seen in Macy’s Department Store displaying her newest and smartest fashions. She is now home trying to get Betty’s permanent paint off.

Here is Joe Madison driving an ambulance. I hope it is fast enough for him. Claude Clark is selling tombstones for Dr. “Juicy” Keith’s patients. They both have prosperous businesses. Charles Fields, and Junior Beard are supposed to be trained mechanics. If you could see them now, you’d think they weren’t even good “grease-monkeys”. Donald Jones is giving Lyle Friel his manager’s orders for the coming week at Colonial Store. That famous world-known hobo, Buddy Coffman, was a guest at the White House the other day. The President took pity on him and immediately gave him a position . . . ambassador to Russia.

She is now making her home at 669 Maple Avenue. Betty Baker is secretary at B. B. Buick. Could it be because of Ronny Copper? Zeke Blakemore is the Under Secretary of the Army; however, there is strong talk that he will be promoted to Secretary of the Army. Johnny Baugher, owner of Baugher’s Turkey Farm, had a special deal last Christmas. If you bought two or more turkeys, you got a 1955 Plymouth Fireball V-25 free. Horace Gleason has taken up permanent residence in Charlottesville, Virginia. I wonder why? Bobby Hiserman is a Lilt model. Didn’t you think his new permanent was pretty in January? Augusta County Game Warden, Doug Hagwood, arrested several boys last week for shooting turkeys illegally. Boy. . .old Doug must have changed since his high school days. Earl Humphries has been promoted at Haney’s. He runs the elevator for the first seven floors. Dickie Jesser finally found a problem to stump him . . . how to balance his budget with Betsy’s. Joe Hyman is the manager of the north wing of the 5th floor of Hyman’s Department Store. Bobby Johnson recently bought the Wayne Theater. It must have been the only way he could get in . . . since he can’t get in on his looks anymore. Randolph Breen is now mayor of Browntown. Jerry Brooks, the popular young crooner, is surely taking the girls on a “wild goose chase”. Beverley Brown and Sandra are vacationing on the beaches in sunny California.

Virginia Phillips and Ruby Crickenberger have retired from their work and are now living in an elaborate hotel owned and operated by Charlotte Plumb. Anne Culton is still trying to publish her song, “The Man That Got Away”. I heard a rumor that all the businessmen in Waynesboro are trying to kidnap that efficient secretary, Jo Carol Potter. Janice Foltz has set up an office and is giving advice to the lovelorn girls. Since Faye Forbus took a course in interior decorating, she can hardly wait for her man to come home and see her newly dec¬ orated apartment . . . and her brand new Mercury.

This past year was the occasion for the nineteenth consecutive Christmas program for which Mrs. Davies has been responsible. In keeping with the theme woven into the pageant during the past years, the presentation this Christmas had the following as its central points: patience, faith, love, kindness, and the spirit of humility. These programs have always been inspiring and beneficial to the students of Waynesboro High School as well as to others of the community. { 46 }3e- t emmets OFFICERS (From Bottom) Billy Jesser. Secretary John Traynham. Treasurer Barbara Schwab. Vice President Billy Robertson. President man On September 8, 1955, approximately 170 trembling freshmen entered the massive portals of Waynesboro High School. We felt as if the upper classmen were watching us, but after a few uneasy moments we began to feel more at home. At the first freshman class meeting we elected the following officers: President, Billy Robertson; Vice President, Barbara Schwab; Treasurer, John Traynham; Sec¬ retary, Billy Jesser. We attended an assembly in which Mr. Johnson, our principal, and a few of our upper classmates welcomed the students to the new session of 1954-55. After¬ wards with a great feeling of timidity we went to our first day of classes. With a little razzing from the “old hands” we settled down to the regular routine of classes, lessons, and homework. The class has planned many group activities; two of those are a freshman “Sox Hop” and a class picnic.

Some of the staff members are in this class, and it has been a great benefit to them to learn the exact and correct procedures in producing an annual. The staff is busy from the time the school bells ring in the fall until the arrival of summer vacation. Assembling material for a school yearbook is, by no means, an easy task, and for those who have put forth a helping hand, a commendation is in order. There are times when everything seems to go wrong, but seceding from work on the annual is never an event which takes place in a happy group of staff members, as those working on the Skyline of 1955. •Cf 55 First Row, Left to Right: Mervil Daughtry {Reporter), Grayson Via {Sergeant at Arms), Ann Watkins {Parliamentarian), Bobby Whitesel {Vice President), Zeke Blakemore {President), G ay Kesterson {Secretary), Catherine Marshall {Treasurer), Jane Canada {Chaplain), Shirley Stanley {Ex-Officio Member) Second Row: Dickie Jesser, Bobby Howard, Bobby Gordon, George Me Lear, Margie McClung, Katherine Hickam, Jane Cole Oliver, Norma Lee Brown , Rosalee Pugh, Ellen Rhodes, Billy Robertson, Donnie Glenn Third Row: Ellison Loth, Betty Chiles, Peggy Johnson, Billy Jesser, Sandra Wright, Jeannine Sorce, Ann Salisbury, Mary Girard, Ann Tench, Judy Givens, Judy Lewis, Dreama Sandridge, Lucille Painter, Frances Moyer, John Jones Absent When Picture was Taken: Beverley Brown, Guy Cummings, Buddy Carter, Wayne Lilley, Helen Alexion LCLt The Waynesboro Student Council is the student governing body of the high school.

An important factor to bring out is that not all comic books will be removed, only those which are believed to d stroy the moral rights in small children minds. Mrs. X, W. Kidd spoke to the student council and our club pre¬ sidents here at Waynesboro High School. She explained why they want to abolish destructive comics, and then she left the floor open for discussion. Mrs. Kidd was quite co-operative and was willing to answer any question which was asked her. Here are some of the opinions expressed by our high school stu¬ dents. This survey was made to give individuals a chance to ex¬ plain their ideas on the subject: Bob Dedrick— l think that the .children are tnflnfevwwwt W H� • � Band Wins Prize In Parade On November 1!, which was Veteran’s Day, the W.

After a fairly long and chilly wait, the parade began and the thirteen participating hands and other units were off. The parade was an en¬ during four miles, but the second place sward of $75.00 went to Waynesboro High School. This made ail efforts well worth the march. Congratulations to Mr. J G Lunsford and hi fine marching hand! The Oiristmas Pageant “The Miracle”, the story of a blind gyp hoy, ami also the nine¬ teenth Christmas pageant that Mr . Ethel Davies has written, will be presented on December 23 in the high school auditorium. The theme Russian as fifth language. This Is not what I wanted to study, bat 1 did not have too much choice and 1 am beginning to like it. As for the students, you pro¬ bably will suffer In English and chemistry and history and I can imagine the juniors making pre¬ parations for their term papers., 3t is hard work sometimes, but by the time you leave school, you will rea¬ lize what a wonderful time it was, just as I do now. I still think their campaign ana i twueve weir ultimate goal is a good one. The way they are going about it is good and we ' ve waited long enough for someone to do something like this, although it ' s not as important as they imagine. The lurid type of literature to which they are re¬ ferring are too fantastic far the average teen-ager ' s mind to be¬ lieve. I believe that its danger lies in the appalling pictures which younger children see. in wtuen the FBLA presented e kit showing the business office of the past and present. The parent seemed to have « lot of fun going back to school , and there was so little confusion In finding the right class rooms, that we suspect mast of them have been here before. However, there were several hosts and hostesses on hand to help find their way. Parents are always welcome at Waynesboro High School. be very glad to hear sometimes from some of you because I am really interested in everything that goes on in Waynesboro High.

The “Dermatological Institute” is the result of many hours of library research, eager hunting in antique shops, and numerous conferences with the older business people of the community. These efforts were directed toward acquiring the equip¬ ment and arranging an office that is typical of those existing in 1894. For public presentation, a skit was written in which the office of the “Gay Nineties” was compared to an office of 1954. So novel is this office arrangement that, besides making several local presentations, the club was invited to Madison College to perform.
