Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1958 volume:

Presented by The Senior Class Waynesboro High School Waynesboro, Virginia Waynesboro Public Library 600 South Wayne Ave. Waynesboro, VA 22980 m % 7 J§ For half a century, Waynesboro High School has given to young people an education of high caliber that they might become outstanding citizens of their community. During that time the graduates of this institution have reflected credit upon their school and, thus, upon the com¬ munity. They have acquitted themselves well in time of emergency. From the beginning of the first high school in 1906 until today, 1958, this school has represented Waynesboro’s youth in the fin¬ est sense. Without the efforts and foresight of a few men, however, there could have been no school. These men gave of their time, money, and efforts unselfishly and without thought of recompense except that which would come with the future generations. Today, due to the efforts of these men and those who have continued their work, we have progressed beyond a small building with six classrooms to a large, modern school, with teachers and facilities of which we can be justly proud. In honor of the untiring efforts of those who first recognized the need for a school of high¬ er learning, and of those men and women who have since dedicated their lives to the fulfillment of those visions, the 1958 Skyline is published as an Anniversary Edition on the fifty-second birth¬ day of Waynesboro High School. 2 The Skyline is grateful to Amarillo College “Palo Duro” 1949 for the drawings on the end sheets. .

It is with deepest appreciation and grati¬ tude that the 1958 Skyline is dedicated to you, Mr. J. L. Johnson. For all the many hours devoted to our needs and the interest you have taken in the improvement of our lives, the Senior Class acknowledges its right¬ eous debt. From our first days of high school, when you took the trouble to learn each per¬ son’s name, to the final assembly of our se¬ nior year you have personified all that could be desired as a guide for our own lives. May our sincere wishes for a long tenure as principal of Waynesboro High School and many years of continued friendship be with you. MR. J. L. JOHNSON Principal, Waynesboro High School Waynesboro, Virginia Mr. Johnson reads the daily announcements. MEMO: from the Principal ' s office — It is a very real pleasure to greet you again from the pages of the Skyline. This particular annual commemorates a year . . Hard-working Minnie which, I think, will become one of the most impor- counts the lunch money too tant dates in history. It is the year when man first gained partial mastery over outer space. This event will someday be considered as important as Columbus’ voyage across the ocean and discovery of a new world or the Wright brothers’ first flight. Words such as sputnik, satellite, and missile have come into everyday use. People are beginning to volunteer for the first flight to the moon. Many of you will live to see inter-planetary travel; some of you may even take a trip into outer space. You will behold wonders undreamed of. Remember, however, that the first successful break-through into outer space came in 1957- 1958, which this annual commemorates. It is our sincere hope that we have helped in some measure to prepare you for the miracles which lie before you. There will be many obstacles to overcome; there will be hardships and dis¬ couragement, but there will also be high adventure. Our best wishes go with you. 5 ROW 1: Mr. Harper Brower ; Mr. Fred Cook; Mrs. A. M. McLaugh¬ lin; Mr. Fred Milhiser. ROW 2: Mr. Robert Carper, Mr. F. B. Glenn.

The aim of the Beta Tri-Hi-Y is to create Christian fellowship among the girls of the club and to en¬ courage clean speech, clean sports, and clean living throughout Waynesboro High School. The club meets weekly and is composed of sophomore and junior girls. The foremost purpose of the club is stated in their creed, “to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character.” The club has been very active during the past year in carrying out their projects. Beta Tri-Hi-Y donated a juke box to the school which was welcomed enthusiastically by the students. Some of the projects during the year included: helping needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, attending Model General Assembly, con¬ ducting United Fund Campaign in high school, helping librarian with Rosenwald books, and buying milk for a needy child. The members also plan to send representatives to Blue Ridge, North Carolina, where the Blue Ridge Y Camp is held. 12 ROW 1: Mr. John A. Brown, Sponsor; Raymond Denny; Jerry Brown; Michael Parmer.

The club also strives to promote a strong interest in Antique Automobiles. An assembly program, the club insignia, and reports on var¬ ious automobiles are only a few of the club’s projects. Members of the club assisted as auxiliary police for the Glidden Tour and also attended the Fisher Body program. A program of slides of Antique Automobiles was shown to interested persons. The Cam and Wheel Club is a comparatively new club at the high school. This is the second year the club has been active.

The club rated in the first ten among clubs in Virginia. The members have also carried out a large number of very useful and helpful projects during the past year. Some of the activities include: having a Christmas display book for the merchants of Waynesboro, attending the District and State Conventions, giving an assembly, giving civic appearances, and washing windows for the Waynesboro businessmen after Hallowe’en. The club has also had quite a few winners in the District Contests. The emblem of the Distributive Education Clubs of America points out the aims and purposes of the club. It is a dia¬ mond, in the center of which is a wrapped package symbolizing a job well done. The four points of the diamond represent Vocational Understanding, Civic Consciousness, Social Intelligence, and Leadership Development. 15 ROW 1: Mr. Tolley, Sponsor; Edward Lavender, Pres.; Francis Cook, Sec.-Tres.; Sonny Harner, Hist.; Larry Ellinger.

The Diversified Occupations Club was organized to supplement the regular class activities and to provide a social outlet for students whose schedule does not permit participation in many other school activities. The members of Diversified Occupations take a regular high school course of study during one half the school day, then work for various merchants or business concerns for the remainder of the day. The purposes of the club are to provide the local employers with better trained employees, to acquaint the businesses of Waynesboro with the program of the high school, and to promote a harmonious relationship between employer and em¬ ployee. Selling Christmas trees and having a bake sale have been the two money raising projects during the year. All the members of the club attended a District and State Convention. The club also had an employee-employer banquet for the members. The local club has gained many excellent achievements in the past. Two club members held state offices, and several of the members won recognition in the contests sponsored by the D. O. State Organization. 16 The Future Business Leaders of America is organized to encourage members to participate in worthy undertakings and to establish themselves in a business occupation. The members strive to develop competent, ag¬ gressive business leadership. The club endeavors to strengthen the con¬ fidence of young men and women in themselves and their work. Throughout the school year the Future Business Leaders of America study parliamentary procedures. Participating in regional, state, and national contests, helping needy people, and typing for civic organizations, school clubs, and faculty are a few of the club’s projects. The members of the club work closely with their sponsor club, the Waynesboro Business and Profes¬ sional Woman’s Club. The club has received many coveted honors and positions during the past year. The local chapter won outstanding honors in local, regional, state, and national events. This past year Bonnie Kay Gilbert held the office of State President, and Charlotte Tomes filled the position of Regional Re¬ porter. Bonnie Kay Gilbert also conducted a discussion group at the Nation¬ al Convention in Dallas, Texas, and gave the report for the State of Vir¬ ginia.

The club tries to familiarize the members with the opportunities offered to teachers. It also gives the club members an opportunity to do practice teaching. The students teach math, English, spelling, history and music from the first to the seventh grades. The students relieve the regular classroom teachers for one hour. The club holds meetings once a month, and planned programs, which are based on teaching as a profes¬ sion, are presented. One of the club’s projects is caring for the children of the P. T. A. members during the Pa¬ rent Teacher Association meetings. The club has held a bake sale to raise money with which to attend the Fu¬ ture Teachers of America Convention in Richmond, Virginia.

The Future Homemakers of America is a national organi¬ zation for pupils studying home economics. The Club strives to promote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking. The Waynesboro chapter has a number of excel¬ lent aims which they endeavor to carry out. These aims include emphasizing the importance of worthy home membership, en¬ couraging democracy in home and community life, promoting international good will, and fostering the development of cre¬ ative leadership in home and community life. Each year the members take part in many activities and projects. The members model the clothes they have made in a spring fashion show, given during an assembly program at the school. Giving an International Dinner for the mothers is a chapter activity which is always very successful. The promotion of polio vaccine by way of radio broadcasts was a truly benefi¬ cial project The girls also planted a flower garden in the clois¬ ter at the rear of the high school which has greatly improved the appearance of the school grounds. Members also serve re¬ freshments to the teachers at the faculty meetings each month. The Christmas Open House held by F. H. A. members was another successful club activity. 19 ROW 1: Mr. Forbes; Bill Livingston; Donald Schmitt; Marjory Smith; Dabney Lipscomb; Bill Wilkinson; Ricky Anthes; Joan Hewitt; Nancy Wilbur; Ann Newnham; Kitty Haller; Judy Brewer.

The Girls’ “W” Club is an athletic organization for girls who have received varsity letters in hockey, basketball, tennis, or cheerleading. The principle purpose of the club is to encourage participation in girls’ sports. The members also endeavor to better the Girls’ Athletic Department. The projects during the past year have been sanding and taping hockey sticks and cleaning up the store¬ rooms in which the girls’ sports equipment is kept. The members sponsored the Annual April Fool’s Dance and held a hilarious initiation for the new members. The girls were outfitted in bathing suits, over which they wore pajamas and beach robes. A boot was found on one foot and a sandel on the other. The girls were not permitted to wear lipstick or any other make-up. Each also carried an inner tube and a beach ball to her classes during the en¬ tire day. The club is sponsored by Mrs. Avis Stanley, hockey and basketball coach and Physical Education In¬ structor. 22 The Key Club endeavors to develop initiative and leadership in the members of the club and to prepare them to be useful citizens of their community.

Some of the pro¬ jects include: sponsoring Twirp Week and Sadie Hawkins Dance, decorating the hall bulletin boards, ushering for school functions, attending the annual Beta Convention, listing honor roll students in newspaper and offer¬ ing a Beta Club Scholarship. A very important activity of the club is the tapping of new members in the spring of each year. Sophomores are made aware of their membership in an assembly conducted by the Beta Club. The following year these new members are inducted into the club during an impressive ceremony led by the Beta Club officers. Twirp Week, a highlight of the school social calendar was begun last year. Even more hilarious and en¬ joyable were the restrictions imposed upon students this year. Included were “No Speak to Boys Day”, “No Smile At Boys Day”, and “Teachers Day” during which lady teachers must do the bidding of the men. 27 ROW 1: Shelvia Henderson; Patsy Frasher; Sandra Cook; Nancy Wright; Penny Pattie, Secretary; Patty Kirby, Vice-President; Helen Alexion, President; Betty Boyd, Treasurer; Anne Newnham; Virginia Summers; Martha Long.

The primary aim of the Pep Club is to stimulate school spirit and good sportsman¬ ship. At football games many of the Pep Club members formed a cheering section to help cheer the team to victory. Before a number of home football and basketball games, the Pep Club sponsored a pep rally. The rallies were usually directed by the cheerleaders, and sometimes members of the club put on comical skits, imitating the players and coaches. New cheers were often introduced to the student body at these rallies. Pep Club activities have included: dec¬ orating goal posts for all home football games, making and selling shakers at the games, and sponsoring the Homecoming Dance. The Homecoming Dance was a great success this year. The Homecoming Queen and her court were chosen by the student body and escorted by members of the football team. The Pep Club has done an outstanding job in promoting good school spirit and genuine sportsmanship. 28 Brenda Alligood Sophomore Velma Grant, Senior Head Majorette Joy Hedrick Seventh Grade Patsy Frasher Senior Jackie Cook Sophomore 29 ROW 1: Ann Reilly, Secretary; Emily Lewis, Vice-President; Barbra Freed, Treasurer; Helen Alexion, Sergeant- at-Arms.

The Skyline is the yearbook put out annually by a student staff and a member of the faculty. Each spring members of the staff, including the editor-in-chief, assistant editor, and advisor, attend SIPA at Washington and Lee University to learn the latest methods of production and trends in design. The staff works diligently to raise the standards of success with each annual, and thus to increase the quality of the WHS yearbook. In studying the trends of yearbook design, The Skyline staff decided to introduce several new features into our book. Prominent among these are: the inverted order, in which Organizations, Sports, and Features precede the class pictures; fewer divider pages, thus alloting more pages to the actual content of the book; and extended continuance of the theme, “A Fifty-second Anniversary,” throug hout the book by means of sketches. Another innovation is the white jackets for senior boys. The Skyline staff promises the student body that it will, in the future, continue its endeavor to produce a yearbook suited to the needs of the school and adapted to the changing styles as reflected in the students. 31 ROW 1: Lou Rader; Danny Woodworth; Dixie Herron; John Traynham, Pres; Ginny Whitesel; Billy Robertson; Mr. W.

The Student Co-operative Association is the governing body of all the students and clubs of Waynesboro High School. The student body is represented by one representative and one alternate delegate from each homeroom. The main purpose of the Student Council is to co-ordinate school activities and to promote improve¬ ments in the school. The Council also works to create a greater sense of co-operation between the students and faculty. Some of the projects completed during the past year include: providing gifts at Christmas for the jani¬ torial staff and several underprivileged children, revising the honor code, sponsoring an assembly in which Frank Biery, an organist, played a variety of enjoyable music, giving morning devotions over the public address sys¬ tem, planning the meeting of the Natural Bridge District Schools, which was held at Wilson Memorial High School. The theme of this meeting was “Progress Through Unity”, and members of the Waynesboro Student Council participated in the discussion topics. Coming under the authority of the Student Co-operative Association are the Honor Court and the Social Committee. All accusations of dishonesty are tried by the Honor Committee, and its work and decisions are confi¬ dential. The Social Committee plans assemblies, has authority over social functions, and consults with the fac¬ ulty Social Committee. 32 ' em The Teen Tones are a relatively new singing group at Waynesboro High School. This is the second year the girls have been singing together. All the girls are members of the Cho¬ ral Club at W. H. S. Since two of the group will graduate this year, a new group of girls has been organized to carry on next year. The girls have sung for many school and community programs this past year. Some of the programs in which they have participated are the variety show at Wayne Hills School, Y. M. C. A. Benefit, the Junior Va¬ riety Show, a meeting of the P. T. S. A., the Distributive Education meet¬ ing held at W. H. S., and the Choral Club Concert in April. The Teen Tones have given very good perfor¬ mances, and they are becoming more and more popular each year. Sylvia Henkel; Phyllis Palmer; Susan Shackelford; Penny Pattie.

The staff strives to meet the de¬ mands of the students for school news and to create a newspaper which will fit the needs of a school the size of Waynesboro High. Staff members are given an opportunity to learn the fundamental skills of journalism and of newspaper work which may be applied in later life. These basic skills of journalism can be used in the future for professional news writing or in other occupations which may be pursued by the staff members. The plan of the staff is to publish as many issues of Valley Vibrations as possible on a cur¬ tailed budget and to improve its editorial qualities in every way. Each spring members of the staff attend Southern Interscholastic Press Association held at Washington and Lee University to learn more about newspaper work and to receive ratings on the high school paper. Valley Vibra¬ tions is also submitted to the Columbia University Press Association contest for high school newspapers. 35 ROW 1: Eddie Hawpe; Bob Smith; Jimmy Level.

The Choral Club strives to provide a suitable class and atmosphere for those students who enjoy singing and to give a good background in music for those who plan to further their study in music. The primary aim of Waynesboro High School’s Choral Club is, quite naturally, to be the best chorus in Virginia. Many hours of rehearsal have been spent in practice for the numerous programs which are given by the Choral Club. One of the most outstanding performances was the music of the Christmas Pageant. The title of the pageant was “Christmas Memories”, and the club sang a number of old favorites in addition to many new Christmas songs. Numerous solo parts, which were sung by club members, added much to the impressive pro¬ gram. The chorus also presented this Christmas program of music to the Senior Citizens of Waynesboro. A number of members were delegated to the All-State Chorus held each year. Some of the Choral Clubs social events include: A hayride, a Holloween party, and a surprise party for the instructor, Mrs. R. A. Grif¬ fith. The Choral Club gave a spring concert which was greatly enjoyed by all, and it also sang for the Bacca¬ laureate and Commencement ceremonies. The sixty-two member chorus has truly had a most successful year.

F. Football Team This year’s J, V. Football Team seems to be keeping up the tradi¬ tion of preceding J. V. teams. All of the boys look good and seem to be very fine prospects for the Var¬ sity in a few years. For the past few years the J. V. teams have gone undefeated and have tied only one game. This year’s team has won all of their games, but one. There are twenty-eight boys on the team this year. They are Doug Tyree, Dickie Coffman, Larry Mc¬ Dowell, Bobby Berry, Jerry Rhodes, Jerry Harding, Freddie Zeh, Jay Roup, Doug Larsen, Bill Stead, Merlyn Dawson, Louie G a ri e 11, Richard Harlow, Richard Cooper, Billy McClung, Jimmy Brennon, Paul Reed, Bernard Hoge, Ray Frasher, Dale Chestnut, Hansford Coffey, Algy Guess, Dale Lilly, Henry Glass, Howard Yancey, Nat¬ han Baker, Charles Phillips, and Ray Lough.

The Little Giants were consider¬ ed to have a fair team at the be¬ ginning of the season but they were not favored to win the dis¬ trict by any means. The “Blues” of Buena Vista were highly favored and they looked as though they might succeed until they came to Waynesboro for the Buena Vista W.H.S. tilt Buena Vista’s Vern Staton scored just before the first half ended and the conversion was good.

When Waynesboro closed its season with a 7-6 victory over Lane High School, the dream of every football team came true. Waynesboro can truly be proud of the fine record and excellent sportsmanship displayed through¬ out the season. Not only did the team bring honors to the school as a group, but the outstanding members of the team also brought honors by being elected to the All-District Team. These players included: First team—Billy Robertson, end; John Traynham, halfback; Steve Rowe, guard; Sam Moy¬ er, tackle. Those making the seeond team were: Bobby Poole, guard; Alon¬ zo Jones, end; and Jim Kite, fullback.

S The long hours these men spent in readying the team for its debut as district title holders cannot be num¬ bered. Their support and encouragement throughout the season contributed to the all-over superior performance of the players.

Six wins and two losses during the 1957-58 season were evidence of the hard work and skillful team play that the boys consistently exhibited in every game. Preceding their 12-6 loss to Wilson the J. V. team had gone undefeated in 22 straight games since 1954. In four of this year’s games the opposing teams were unable to score against the Little G.’s The Varsity team will benefit much from the exper¬ ience these boys have gained in a season’s play. No doubt there will be a number of players graduating to the Varsity team and their ability will add much to the all-over effectiveness of the coming team. 44 Eugene Dickerson; Ronnie Knicely; Pete Yearout; Tohn Traynham; George Gillock; Walter Noell; Roger Pan- nell; Alonzo Jones; Tommy Madison; Ronnie Via; Bill Robertson; Bobby Howard; Tommy Ellington; Tom Baggett; Poochie Harris. Kneeling: Coach Rex Downey. The 57-58 season of the Little Giants has proved to be a more success¬ ful one than previously expected. With the whole starting lineup graduat¬ ing last year, no one knew what would happen. Although there was no def¬ inite starting five at the beginning of this season, the players worked well together. The Giants’ bench was again the strongest in the district. Three players from this year’s team will not return, but they leave behind them a group of experienced and ambitious players who will live up to the record previous members of the Little G’s team have maintained. It was a most exciting year for followers of the Giants. In fact, it was almost a Cinderella story. Coach Rex Downey expressed his feelings in these words: “It was a very satisfying season. The boys won because they were determined. Perhaps there were other teams in the district with greater ability, but certainly no other team had such determinatin. I don’t mean we didn’t have talent—we did. But when you take a bunch of inexperienced boys and come up with results like we had, then you have something to be proud of.” SCORECARD Waynesboro V isitors 43. 39 ... . . . B. V. 38 64 . . . . . V.

The guards were Carol Ann Wylie, Mary Ellen Bosserman, Sharon Wade, Marcy Fitch, Judy McKechnie, and Edna Simmons. Some of these girls will be filling Varsity positions next year.

The Little Amazons, under the able coaching of Mrs. Avis (Andy) Stanley, began their practice in early October. The girls practiced every day after school for several hours. The Little Amazons are one of the few re¬ maining high school hockey teams in this area. For this reason the team played only three games. The first string consisted of Shelvia Henderson, goalie; Barbra Freed, left fullback; Jeannine Sorce, right fullback; Ellen Hickok, left halfback; Marsha Herndon, center halfback; Betty Potts, right halfback; Patsy Frasher, left wing; Barbara Schwab, left inner; Ann Paige Perdue, center forward; Sandra Cook, right inner; and Sandra Wright, right wing. The substitutes were Dixie Herron, center forward, and Patsy Woodward, right inner. Barbara Schwab, who has played hockey for the past five years, was Captain of the team. The girls attended a hockey clinic held in Harrisonburg, where they learned some of the finer points of hockey. SCORES Waynesboro Visitors Oct. 23 . 2 . Harrisonburg 2 Nov. 2 . 3 .

The baseball team has played well this year, but ' so far they have come out on the short end of the score in each game. However, there are nine games remaining to be played, and the team has plans to better their record. With this deter¬ mination characteristic of Little Giant teams, it is quite likely that they will do so. In the near future the Little Giants will compete against Staunton, V.S.D., Wilson Memorial, Nelson County, Lexington, and Natural Bridge. The boys practice two hours each afternoon weather permitting. Since many of the mainstay players graduated last year, Coach William Blosser is rebuilding his team this year with freshmen and sophomores. SCORECARD Waynesboro Visitors 5. Lane 8 5 . B. V. 6 6.

This year Homecoming was celebrated on October 10 and 11 by a bon¬ fire, snake dance through town, football game, and dance. The dance, sponsored by the Pep Club, was held in the Girls’ gym after the Little Giants’ 31-0 victory over Staunton. The traditional bonfire, at which the opponent is burned in effigy with a great celebration, and the snake dance through the downtown area were high¬ lights of the excitement. The weather, crisp, clear, and cold, contributed to the fun. A crowded dance floor was evidence of the light feet and excited thoughts of Waynesboro High School students. Helen Alexion, the Homecoming Queen, was crowned by John Trayn- ham. The members of the queen’s court and their escorts were as follows: Sopho¬ more Princesses: Patsy Owens, escorted by Bobby Poole, and Ellen Smith, escorted by Steve Rowe; Junior Princesses: Patty Kirby, escorted by Tom Baggett, and Penny Pattie, escorted by Billy Robertson; Senior Princesses: Sara Jane Foster, escorted by Doug Terrell, and Patsy Frasher, escorted by Bobby Yearout.

The props included everything from stuffed tigers to ice cream and cokes to basketballs. Scenes like this one were plentiful backstage. Long or short, curly or braided, pigtails are pigtails. The proud possessors of these are Helen Alexion and Mary Girard. The pigtails were not grown for the occasion, but they certainly came in handy. Now’s the tense moment! Promoter Joyce Dodd coaches Buddy Padgett for a dramatic scene. Drama and comedy alternated in the play. Poor Nancy Wright isn’t really bored. She’s just sleepy! The prompters were up as late as the rest of the cast. 59 “Little Tommy Tucker . . .” No, this is Twirp Court. These boys are cheering for their punishment rather than singing for their sup¬ per. For disobeying a Twirp rule, they donned aprons and performed onstage. The “Cheer¬ leaders” are Harold Greenstone, Alonzo Jones, Gary West, Billy Robertson, and Henry Cant¬ well. Rolling a peanut across stage with your nose is one form of punishment. To the girls doing it, Patty Kirby, Becky Thomas, and Marsha Freed, it’s a double punishment. The boys in the foreground seem interested even though they’re supposed to be scrubbing the stage with toothbrushes. Ted Cooley warbled the lyrics of “Brusha, Brusha” (the Ipana song) in a golden tenor voice. He even demonstrated! TV is missing something. Twirp Week, which was sponsored by the Beta Club, was held from December 2 to 6. Marsha Herndon was the chairman of Twirp Week and Ann Tench, Bobby Howard, Ben Cooper, and Ginny Whitesel served on the committee with her. The week was climaxed by the Sadie Hawkins Dance. The word Twirf means that “The Woman Is Re¬ quested To Pay.” The boys were able to sit back and re¬ lax as the girls treated them royally. The girls bought cards which enabled them to speak to the boys. Some of the duties (or chores) which the girls performed for the boys were carrying trays at lunch, taking books to classes, opening doors for the boys, and asking the boys for dates. If the boy refused a date with a girl, or if the girls had any complaints against any boys, they reported the boys 60 Miss Janet Corbin, a respected teacher at WHS, also came in for judgment. The judges think it’s funny even if she doesn’t. Actual¬ ly she is reciting “with dramatic emphasis” the touching lyrics of “Love Me Tender.” to the Twirp Week Committee. A punishment was then imposed on the boys. Since it was the boys’ week of lei¬ sure, they, too, were able to bring complaints against the girls who did not treat them properly. On the first day of Twirp Week girls were not al¬ lowed to speak to the boys. No smile at Boys Day was observed on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the girls were required to buy cards which allowed them to speak to the boys. On Thursday the men teachers enjoyed a whole day of relaxation, as the women teachers were requested to perform the usual chivalric duties of the men. Patches Day was observed on Friday before the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Each girl sewed a patch on her favorite beau, to show that he was claimed for the dance. Yes, things were topsy-turvey! Everyone en¬ joyed it, especially the boys, who had a week of leisure. Twirp Week is an institution that will last a long time. The judges were members of the Twirp Week Committee. 61 Doug Larsen looks back to see his opponents’ reactions to a joke he just told.

Coming into office amid jokes, testimonials from odd characters, and a rash of colorful campaign pos¬ ters are Lou Rader, President; Poochie Harris, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Margaret Van Deman, Secretary; and Butch Tyree, Treasurer. The elections served a dual purpose in the life of the school. First, students learn and practice democratic voting procedures, and second, they recognize the problem of elect¬ ing responsible persons to office. The number of students voting this year was greatly increased over previous years. Students are thus becoming more and more conscious of the responsibility of leadership. Eligibility to vote is determined by registration. Campaign managers Alex Bosserman and Lovell Hughson give an amusing summary of their candidate’s abilities. The final decisions were made by the student body at the polls. Scenes like this took place all during election day, May 2.

ANN and BOBBY Ann Tench and Bobby Poole have shown their warm friendly manner in many ways. Ann’s ability to make and keep friends has helped in her work as Editor of Valley Vibrations and in other extra-curri¬ cular activities. Bobby has won the friendship of the fans as well as his teammates while playing football and track. GARA and BILLY Gara Greef and Billy Jesser possess all the quali¬ fications which are necessary for their success in the future. Gara, the Editor of The Skyline , has been very successful in both her extra-curricular and aca¬ demic work. She plans a career in medicine. Billy, who is Treasurer of the Senior Class and President of the Science Club, has achieved much during his four years at W. H. S. Billy’s career plans lie in phy¬ sics. 66 LINDA and BUDDY Linda Dolly and Buddy Padgett have con¬ tributed much to W. H. S. through their musical tal¬ ents. As a member of the Choral Club, Linda has sung in several of the concerts and the Christmas Pageants. She plays sax, chimes, organ, and piano with the band. Buddy plays the drums in the high school band, and he is an important member of the Little Giants of Jazz. BARBARA and JOHN John Traynham and Barbara Schwab have been noted for their ability in sports. John has played Varsity football for four years and Varsity basket¬ ball for two years. He also holds the state record in the 120 yard high hurdles. Barbara has played Var¬ sity hockey for five years and Varsity basketball for three years. She was captain of both the hockey and basketball teams her senior year. SARA JANE and BILLY Sara Jane Foster and Billy Robertson have long been noted for their femininity and masculinity. Sara Jane was a member of the Home-Coming Court and a candidate for Miss Red Feather. Billy, who was an escort for Home-Coming, has been outstanding in football, basketball, and track. 67 Linda Louise Dolly is the valedictorian for 1958. She has maintained a superb scholastic standing throughout high school, while at the same time partici¬ pating in many activities. Linda’s talents and ability as¬ sure her of future success. John Edward Traynham III is salutatorian in 1958. An outstanding athlete, John is also an excellent student. His dependability and willingness to work make him a candidate for certain success. 68 f Amen In September 1957 approximately 100 girls and 125 boys entered the halls of Waynesboro High School as new students. They were to be the second eighth grade class to finish a complete year at the high school. The subjects available to them were Eng¬ lish, history, mathematics, general science, and physical education. Some members of the class were able to take high school courses, including Algebra, Latin, and French. These subjects were counted toward the eighteen credits that are needed to graduate. Those with musical interests joined the band. A number of students participated in various sports and clubs. They also helped boost the attendance at athletic contests and at special events. This first year at W. H. S. has been made memorable by all of the teachers and faculty who have helped us so much. The class appreciates the courtesy and help of high school students. As the fifty-second anniversary is celebrated this year, the class of 1962 pledges that during the next four years we will live up to the fine example of past stu¬ dents. miewm ROW 1: Ronald Brown; Doug Woodworth; Nancy Wright; Nancy Neet; Charlene Tomlinson; Diane Ly¬ ons; Ann White; Margie Diggs.

Now that we are freshmen, we realize that all the hopes and dreams that we have had for so long have fin¬ ally been fulfilled. Since first we began to realize how much high school can mean to us, we have looked forward eagerly to the day when we would finally become a living part of Waynesboro High School. We now have the chance to participate in all the activities and privileges that the high school enjoys. We realize, though, that with these privileges come the hard work and the responsibility of getting all that we can from what W. H. S. has to offer us, plus the task of co¬ ordinating the many new activities. We will not shirk our duty because we know that hard work is just a part of belonging to Waynesboro High School.

We anxiously await the moment when we, too, can be counted among “the upper half.” We look back at our freshman year and laugh sheepishly at the ridiculous things we did. It was truly a rugged year, but now we feel that the wrinkles have been ironed out, and the firm foundation laid as we ad¬ vance slowly up the stairway to success.

A tingling sense of anticipation stirs in our hearts as we look forward to next year—the Senior Play and Senior Trip. Behind us is a long road filled with stubborn lockers and hor¬ rid examinations. In the midst of all the gloom, however, is the happiness for which we have longed since our freshman year. Here in our junior year are the much-longed-for Junior Variety Show, the Junior-Senior Prom, our class rings, and, of course, the ever-present struggle to raise funds. Our hearts are thankful for the good fortune that has been bestowed upon us this year. The year 1957-58 will be impressed in our minds as a year in which much was achieved. We now turn our eyes toward the final goal—Class of ’59. Ben Cooper, Pres.; Martha Ann Craig, Sec.; Pete Yearout, Vice-Pres. ABSENT: Ginny Whitesel, Tres.

This was just another year for the other stu¬ dents, but for the Seniors, it was a different situation. We realized that we were in our final year of preparation for college or the choosing of a career for our futures. Before us now is a door signifying the future. With a simple turn of the key, a diploma, we step forward into the future. Henry Cantwell, Vice-Pres; Helen Alexion, Sec.; Alonzo Jones, Pres.; Billy Jesser, Tres.
