In what way can such an undertaking of learning and events be presented to those who would know about it? One year’s facts and interests as told and shown here seem in¬ adequate, but the happenings of this year and every other year are links that form the chain that is Waynesboro High School. Onto this chain are linked, also, the citizens of Way¬ nesboro, who have so well provided a qualified faculty and good physical facilities, and who join with us in making our school a center for many community activities. This Skyline concerns itself with the events and courses of study of the year 1959, that those of us now here will re¬ member and those who follow will learn. 3 Mrs. Louise D. Moore We Shall Remember It is with pleasure that we, the Class of 1959, dedicate this Skyline to Louise Moore. Mrs. Moore is a devoted teacher with great ability and genuine interest in her students’ progress. Many full hours of work and thought go into her teaching, and she unstintingly gives of her time in individual help. Mrs. Moore’s love for and knowledge of literature have developed in many students a lasting interest in books. She is a teacher in the complete sense of the word, and her imprint on us and our pleasant memories of her classes will remain with us always. We gratefully thank Mrs. Moore for inspiring and teaching us and wish for her every happiness. mawmmm � . .. Mr. J. L. Johnson The Principal The person directly responsible for the effective and efficient functioning of our school every day throughout the year is Mr. J. L. Johnson. Waynesboro High School is fortunate in having so capable, honest, sincere , and friendly a principal. In each of his contacts with students, faculty members, parents, and townspeople, Mr. Johnson shows a genuine interest in the other person. This interest endears him to all. We Seniors thank Mr. Johnson for his unselfish devotion to our schooling and wish for him continued success and happiness. 5 Mrs. Margaret Cash, Clerk; Mr. Harper A. Brower; Mrs. A. M. McLaughlin; Mr. J. Fred Cook, Chair man; Mr. John W. Garber; Mr. Robert W. Gray; Mr. F. B. Glenn, Superintendent. School Board Guidance Council One of the essentials for a good educational system is a conscientious and trustworthy school board. We feel that we are extremely fortunate in having such a school board. Mr. Glenn, Super¬ intendent, Mrs. Cash, Clerk, and the interested citizens who make up the school board give much time and thought to the efficient operation of our public schools, u i ... n ' , , , A — -L CL rJ ■ — ■’ ' L- ' - rt Guidance is a necessary part of the daily school program. Mrs. Schneider, faculty mem¬ bers and student leaders meet to discuss guidance and curriculum problems. Scheduling according to abilities constitutes one of the most important guidance duties. Mrs. Schneider holds private conferences with students who have need for advice. We appreciate the good work the guidance council does. Rozv 1: Mrs. Hering; Mr. Forbes ;M lrs.

The duty of the city of Waynesboro is to provide beneficial and pleasant living conditions. The fore¬ most goal at Waynesboro High School is to supply the young people of Waynesboro with an education — a good educa¬ tion. Sound instruction is the business of every school and in this section of the Skyline we are attempting to show fully the business of Waynesboro High School. At the bimonthly meetings of the Waynes¬ boro City Council, plans for city improvement are discussed and adopted or rejected. Long sessions of conference often keep the faculty very busy. Here, Mr. Johnson is leading a discussion in the living room of the Home Economics department. One of the numerous duties of Lynwood Mitchell, our ever smiling janitor, is window washing. This large window really shone after its spring cleaning. The City Maintenance Department stays extremely busy keeping the facilities in repair in Waynesboro. This repair work on West Main Street is a typical example of the city’s work. 7 Mrs. Helen J. Bateman Bookkeeper Eastern Illinois Univ., B.Ed. Mr. Paul W.

Tolley Assistant Principal Diversified Occupations Washington and Lee Univ., A.B.j Univ. of Cincinnati, B.E.; V. P. I.j Univ. of Virginia, M.Ed. The Main Business At WHS Graduation from Waynesboro High School requires seventeen Carnegie units of work in the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. Beginning with the class of ’61, eighteen credits will be required for gradu¬ ation. Changes in graduation requirements are made from year to year by the State Board of Education and the school to increase the value and efficiency of the school program. A Carnegie unit is given for each full time subject which meets five times a week, for thirty-six weeks, fifty-five minutes per day. The courses required for graduation by the State Board are: English.. . 4 units American and Virginia History.1 unit American and Virginia Government.1 unit Mathematics.1 unit Science. 1 unit Health and Physical Education (2 years) .... 1 unit Electives.8 units Waynesboro High School is fully accredited by the Virginia State Board of Education and the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. A certificate of membership is issued to those high schools which meet specified standards of achievement. On the next pages are shown some typical classroom scenes and some of the courses offered at Waynesboro High. 13 Sue Ellen Stanley goes over a test of the previous day for the benefit of her Algebra II class. Algebra II is an elective subject. It furnishes the languages and principal tools of mathematics. Solid geometry involves problems in areas and volumes of pyramids, prisms, cubes, and spheres. Mr. Gru- ver explains a solid theorem to his class as Leroy Kniskern performs the computation involved. Gary Givens, Gail Kirby, and Ann Leitch use the re¬ cording and listening facilities to aid them in their mastery of the French language. This course is con¬ cerned with pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. The basic fundamentals of Latin as well as the background of the Roman civilization are studied in the Latin I and II courses. Jerry Rhodes and Kathi Gelsleichter write class work exercises on the board. Such practice is invaluable in the study of a language. 14 English IV students, Charles Reid, Rod¬ ney Bradt, and Donald Schmitt use the high school library as a research center for term papers. English IV is required of all seniors. Emphasis is placed upon an under¬ standing and appreciation of the works of English writers. John Milhiser, Ricky Fountaine, Richie Gallaher, and Tom Wright perform a dissection in their biology class. This course aims to teach the pupil about himself, the w ' orld around him, and ways of better liv¬ ing. Chemistry is closely connected with the progress of the world, and in this course a study is made of the atomic theory, balance, electrons, solutions, suspensions, and metallurgy. Doug Larsen, Corky Coyner, Mr. Payne and Wayne Lindamood carry out an experiment. Mr. Gruver demonstrates a principle of physics to his inte¬ rested class. The fundamental laws and principles studied in this course aid in helping solve many problems of everyday life. 15 Mr. Powell finds James Kanney’s bulletin board title somewhat amus¬ ing. Displays such as this one bring current events to the attention of the American and Virginia government students. This course is a required subject of all seniors. Health and physical education provides for phy¬ sical, mental and social growth, and the develop¬ ment of desirable character traits and abilities. One of Miss Sterrett’s gym classes goes through its warming-up exercises. One of the objectives of all sound education is that of training for home and family life. Clothing construc¬ tion is included in the home econo¬ mics course. Janet Almarode, Nancy Craig, Wanda Drumheller, and Jane Louderback spend their class time sewing in the well equipped sewing room of the home economics depart¬ ment. 16 Sue Robinson, Doug Lambert, and Dale Lunsford concentrate on their mechanical drawing assignments. This study introduces instrument practice, geometrical construction, lettering, shape description, isometric sectional drawing, and free hand sketching. The boys’ physical education course includes a balanced program of activi¬ ties which include team sports and games, body conditioning activities, and rhythmical and recreational activities. These boys rebound for the ball dur¬ ing their basketball practice. General shop, an elective subject, in¬ cludes units in woodwork, machine shop work, sheet metal work, mechani¬ cal drawing, welding, and household mechanics. Jerry Tisdale, with the help of Dick Armstrong, demonstrates the correct use of the brace and bit, as Mr. Pidcock, Gary Bradley, Jerry Coffey, and Billy Wrenn look on. 17 Shorthand is a highly skilled sub¬ ject and requires a combination of many skills if the pupil is to be a suc¬ cess. Shelby Wood, Gloria Sharpe, and Pat Maupin improve their shorthand by hard practice. Billy Gordon, Dennie Campbell, Dallas Marion, and Martha Long work on their art projects in the well equipped art department. A student may elect arts and crafts to learn to make useful articles, deve¬ lop skills in fine or commercial art, pursue an interest or hobby, or work toward a profession. Typing is an elective subject. Mic¬ key Mantiply, Brenda Zimmerman, Faye Falls, Pat Ayres, Marjorie Terrell, Donna Lafferty, George Short, Joan Fitzgerald, Jo Ann Cox, Dale Chestnut, and Carol Marion type one of their daily timed writ¬ ings. 18 Graduates Among the many students who are employed by local merchants are Carleton Hawpe and Bob Brannon, two of the courteous clerics at Fish- burne’s Drugstore. Lou Rader and Paul Gelsleichter, assis¬ tant leaders of Troop 7, aid younger mem¬ bers in the troop in learning rules and skills of scouting. Many of the members of the graduating class per¬ form very worthwhile services in and for our commun¬ ity. Both the community and the students benefit from these activities. We graduates thank the city of Way¬ nesboro and its citizens for the advantages, privileges, and opportunities they have given us during our years at Waynesboro High School. As nurses’ aides, Martha Ann Craig, Marjory Smith, and Dabney Lipscomb attend local citizens who donate blood at the Bloodmobile. Susan Shackelford contributes her time and her talent to the First Presbyterian Church as organist for the youth choirs. 19 Seniors HAROLD A.

Now that we have attained our original goal, that of earning a diploma, we can remember all the extras of our high school years — hurried-up plans for the Variety Show and Prom, class rings, Sen¬ ior Play rehearsals, skating parties and sock hops, a worried Senior Committee, Slave Day to raise money for our spectacular Senior Trip, and at last Finals with a great all-night party and annuals with tears and autographs.

ANN BURNES Post-Graduate 38 Outstanding Graduates The graduating class of 1959 has been very outstand¬ ing in many activities. Many of the seniors participated in All-State Band, North. Those who attended All-State Band were Roger Maier, Jimmy Davis, and Leroy Kniskern. Other seniors participated in All-State Chorus, North. Char¬ les Reid represented our school in All-State Chorus. Seniors in the business organizations of the school have been recog¬ nized numerous times for their abilities. Five seniors placed very high on the Merit Scholarship Tests. Leroy Kniskern was a semi-finalist. Those receiving letters of commendation were Ann Gordon, Ann Newnham, Louis Rader, and Virgin¬ ia Whitesel. We are very proud of all of our seniors and hope they will continue to do well in the future years. Boys’ and Girls’ State ROW 1: Ann Coiner, Martha Ann Craig, Connie Murray, Ginny Whitesel, Margaret Van Deman. ROW 2: Lovell Hughson, Jan Marion, Butch Berry, Lou Rader, Donald Sch¬ mitt, Alex Bosserman. 39 MARGARET and BEN Margaret Van Deman and Ben Cooper have shown by their devotion to study and their desire to please others that they are best suited as Most Dependable. Most LikelyTo Succeed MARTHA ANN and DONALD The incentive to work and to succeed plus many other desirable qualities have earned for Martha Ann Craig and Donald Sch¬ mitt the title of Most Likely to Succeed. Most Outstanding GINNY and LOU Most Dependable A combination of the best things — friend¬ liness, intelligence, character, and service — gives Virginia Whitesel and Louis Ra¬ der the honor of being Most Outstanding. lN 40 Most Athletic GLORIA and RONNIE A participation in and a love of sports plus an ability to get along with others have earned the title of Most Athletic for Ron¬ nie Knicely and Gloria Sharpe. Most Talented SUSAN and ROGER Susan Shackelford and Roger Maier have contributed much to WHS and the com¬ munity through their musical abilities and willingness to offer entertainment for the enjoyment of others.

Most Mischievous KIRK and DAWSON Kirk McAllister and Dawson Watkins have used imagination and ingenuity in turning a peaceful and serious class into a rollicking group of teenagers. Friendliest PAT and RONNIE Because of their ready smile and friendly greeting for everyone, Pat Kirby and Ron¬ nie Via were chosen the Friendliest of our class. 42 Undergraduates The undergraduates at Waynesboro High School take an active part in the affairs of our city. Church service, hospi¬ tal work, charity drives, scout work, and other services take up a good deal of the Juniors’, Sophomores’, Freshmen’s, and Eighth Graders’ spare time. As Nurses Aides, Carol Coyner, Suzanne Dun¬ can, and Judy Tressel work at the Waynesboro Community Hospital snack bar. These juniors also perform many duties for the patients. Participation in church activities is very reward¬ ing. Freshmen, Nancy Neet, Ellen Stubblefield, Doug Woodworth, and Ruth Van Deman, sing in the First Presbyterian Church Choir. During the TB Drive Sophomores, Mary Gordon, Diane Byers, Sally Carlson, and Judy Totten, collected funds for this worthy cause. Eighth grader, Sylvester Bosserman, delivers papers for the News-Virginian. His courteous service pleases his custo¬ mers. 43 Juniors We, the Junior Class, have finally attain¬ ed our goal. At last, we are what we have al¬ ways dreamed of being, members of the Senior Class, come this fall. As we pause to look back on our fun-filled Junior year, we think of those numerous pro¬ jects to raise money j the endless bottle drives, the selling of the gold and purple pens, the Junior Variety Show, and our hilar¬ ious “Womanless Wedding”. The end result was well worth all of our efforts; the night of the Junior-Senior Prom came and went while the stars in our eyes still lingered. Then came the day when we received our class rings, and our happiness was complete. Now, we challenge the Junior Class of 1960 to have as much fun as we did!

The Sophomore Class is looking for¬ ward to doing great things after having been initiated into high school life for two years. We feel a surge of confidence as we look forward to our ultimate ambition, graduation. It has been a long grind, but we realize its worth as a firm foundation for our future. We can only hope we fare as well in the last two years of our educa¬ tion at WHS as we did in the first years.

Our first year at Waynesboro Hi ..... _ Jl year of learning, a year of adjustment, and a year of endless wonder and amazement at the fact that somedafpwe, ' od, wili be mejnbers of the graduating class. It has also been a yeai of fun and excitement, from the mastery of those locker combination o the last efcream of the baseball season. , Now we can participate in all of the activities and privileges a high school student enjoys. We realize, however, the hard work and responsibilities that accompany these privileges. Being a member of the Freshman Class of 1959 and knowing that you are indeed a part of the thrilling world of high school are experiences of which we shall endeavor to take full advantage.

These boys and girls are the third class of eighth graders to attend WHS. They were allowed to take algebra, Latin, and French, besides their required courses of English, history, mathematics, general science, and physical education. This year a new math program was introduced. Students with the time and interest for outside activities joined some of the high school’s clubs or clubs especially organized for them, such as the Eighth Grade Science Club and Tri-Hi-Y Club. Our first year at WHS has been a wonderful one, filled with memories of those first dances, football and basketball games, and all of our new teachers and friends. We will try our best in our next four years at Waynesboro High School to follow in the footsteps of the students who have studied here before us.

Various dances, theatrical performances and variety shows add to the entertainment of the students and the citizens. Civic parades, the Halloween bonfire, and other activities give the students opportunities to participate in civic projects. Twirp Week was climaxed by the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Here Betty Lacy Lyle, Ginny Summers, Fred Stubblefield, Kirk McAl¬ lister, Pat Kirby, and Penny Pattie are seen enjoying the dance. The Waynesboro High School majorettes, pom-pom girls, and band take part in the community’s annual Fireman’s Parade. The Junior Class’ Womanless Wed¬ ding proved a hilarious success. Humes Franklin, William Poats, and Wayne Grant provide some laughs. 65 1958 Jr. Variety Show i The Junior Variety Show, “The Devil and West¬ chester High”, of 1958 was given in May. Long weeks of preparation went into this production to make it successful. Everyone who participated co¬ operated and had fun. The money from the show was used to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. Production points are gone over by Mr. Brown, Adult Di¬ rector; Roger Maier, Student Director; and Ben Cooper. Lovell Hughson, Alex Bosserman, and Gary Hayes prepare to go into their singing act. The Dancing Dolls were an outstanding group in the production. Sambra Neet, Gin- ny Whitesel, and Ann Higgins practice their routine. Complicated sets and scenes required much adjustment. John White, Rodney Bradt, and Bob Brannon help out. 66 195 8 Jr.-Sr. Prom and Banquet As couples arrived at the gym on the night of May 16, 1958, excla¬ mations of surprise and delight were heard resounding throughout the gym. This was the Junior-Senior Prom that the juniors had looked forward to for so long. Glancing around the gym, one could see a beam of pride on every junior’s face. The theme of this dance was “Hawaiian Cruise”. Volcanic murals and lush, tropical scenes filled the gym with a perfect atmosphere for the ju¬ niors’ big night. The wishing pool on the edge of the dance floor provided a romantic spot for upperclassmen and their dates. A witch doctor lent a my¬ sterious air to one of the corners. The band shell represented a luscious sec¬ tion of a large Hawaiian pineapple. This was the Juniors’ night, and one they would remember for years to come. Hula Girls at Banquet Hula girls, Juanita Daugherty, Nancy Alford, Barbara Sours, and Don Hevener provide native entertainment for the banquet guests. Seniors at Wishing Well The typical dance spirit prevalent throughout the prom is shown by Dawson Watkins, Roger Maier. Marjory Smith, Paul Gelsleichter, Dabney Lipscomb, and Lou Rader gaze into the depths of the flower-bordered wishing pool. Dance Spirit 67 Homecoming Queen Miss Betty Boyd Homecoming - 1958 Homecoming was celebrated this year November 6 and 7, by a bonfire, a snake dance through town, a football game, and a dance. The traditional bonfire and snake dance were the highlights of the excitement on November 6. The weather, crisp, clear, and cold, was perfect for such an exciting event as the Homecoming Game. The dance, sponsored by the Pep Club, was held in the girls’ gym after the Little Giants’ 34-0 victory over the Rockets of Natural Bridge. The crowded dance floor was evidence of the excited thoughts of the WHS students. Betty Boyd, the Homecoming Queen, was escorted to her throne by Pete Year- out. Betty was crowned by last year’s queen, Helen Alexion. Master David Gordon was the crownbearer. This was certainly a never-to-be forgotten homecoming for WHS.

One of the highlights of the senior year is the Senior play. The play was chosen by the Senior Committee in September. After the play books arrived, try-outs began. The cast was chosen, and it began long hours of rehearsals. The title of this year’s play was u Ah! Men!” written by Dana Thomas. It was under the able direction of Mr. Nat Forbes. The cast was as follows: Rodney Bradt, Vera Burton, Mo Callahan, Virginia Christian, Carleton Hawpe, Claudine Harlow, Ann Higgins, Roger Maier, Ann Newnham, John Pickford, Eby Sauder, Susan Shackelford, Beth Stover, John White, Virginia Whitesel, and Phyllis Wright. The play was presented on November 21 and 22 after many long hours of work by all who were concerned with the production. We feel the play was very successful j the money received from the play was used to help finance the senior trip. Vera Burton; Martha Ann Craig; Susan Shackelford; Virginia Christian; Brenda Kerby; Beth Stover. 70 Ah! Men Mr. Forbes, our patient director, gives stage directions to Susan Shackelford as Virginia Whitesel looks on. This dress rehearsal was one of the final ones just before the per¬ formance nights. Don’t drop your end! Lou Rader and Tom Ellington help assemble plentiful backstage. Let’s hope these wires are connected correctly. Mike McCartney makes last minute adjustments to his elaborate teleray. 71 A Successful Ti oirp Week Pat Kirby and Sue Robinson carry double loads of books — their own and Tom Ellington’s and Jan Marion’s. Taking books to class was one of the duties (or chores) which the girls performed for the boys during Twirp Week. The attire worn to the Sadie Hawkins Dance at the close of Twirp Week was unusual to say the least! The attendance at the dance was very good. Twirp Week, sponsored by the Beta Club, was held again this year in Novem¬ ber. The chairman of the committee was Ann Higgins with Maureen Callahan, Pat Kirby, Lucy Lawler, and Jean Wells as committee members. The word TWIRP means, “The Wo¬ man Is Requested to Pay.” During the week the boys relaxed while the girls treat¬ ed them royally. The week was climaxed by a Sadie Hawkins’ Dance. The chairman of the dance committee was Vera Burton. Donnie Dobbins was honored as King of the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Betty Boyd crowns him as attendants Betty Lacy Lyle, and Kirk McAllister look on. 72 Senior Committee Penny Pattie; Mr. Forbes; Butch Berry; Bob Brannon; Carleton Hawpe; Sambra Neet, Treasurer; Ben Cooper, President; Ginny Whitesel; Ann Newnham, Secretary. Sr. Calling Cards and Invitations This year the Sr. Committee chose the graduation in¬ vitations, and the Seniors themselves chose their calling cards. The late Mr. W. O. Day shows Gary Hayes and Alex Bosserman his new line of rings after they have fill¬ ed out their calling card order blanks. Sr. Skating Party Skating parties were a very popular form of recreation and lucrative way of raising funds for the Senior Trip. Donnie Dobbins, Betty Lyle, Wayne Cash, and Patsy Merica take a turn around the rink. 73 Forensic Winners Row 1: Virginia Whitesel, Affir.

Debate Team; Dawson Watkins, Neg. Debate Team; Ben Cooper, Neg. Debate Team; Mar¬ shall Coleman, Boys’ Prose Reading; Lou Rader, Boys’ Public Speaking. Each year the first of March, the big topic of interest around Waynesboro High School is the Forensic competition. Contests are held in all five grades in prose reading, poetry reading, public speaking, and spelling. The events are spon¬ sored by the English department and winners are chosen from each of the individual classes to compete with the other winners in their respective grades. The best speeches from the eighth, ninth, and tenth grade classes were given in an assembly for underclassmen. The winners from the underclassmen competed with the winners from the Junior and Senior classes in an assembly for upper class- men. Then one boy and one girl were chosen from this group to represent the school at the District Forensics meet. Speeches were judged by members of the faculty. Points considered were topic, originality, content, and delivery. The winners in the poetry reading, prose reading, and spelling were picked in after-school competition. Organizations Clubs and organizations constitute an important part of school and community life. Through these school and civic organizations many worthwhile services and projects are car¬ ried out. These services range from collecting funds to help the poor, to presenting programs for cultural enjoyment. The Kiwanis Club is one of the city’s most active service clubs. Their annual minstrel is enjoyed by many citizens; funds go for the baby clinic and the underprivileged children’s camp. Patsy Martin, Nancy Critzer, and other members of the F. H. A. Club served refreshments to the faculty at some of their meet¬ ings. Mrs. White seems very happy about the prospect of such good refreshments. The Confederettes, headed by Ginny Whitesel, provided ev- tremely entertaining half-time shows during basketball season. The Lions Club sponsors a horse show each year to raise money for their community projects. Bill Showalter, a Lion, awards a ribbon to one of the class winners. T H R l l Y The Alpha Tri Hi Y strives to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Community projects of the club include making favors for the nursing home, fur¬ nishing milk for needy children making Chri stmas baskets for a needy family, going Christmas caroling, and ushering at the AAUW puppet show. School activities are form¬ ing an eighth grade Tri Hi Y, giving to World Service, and raising money with bottle drives and bake sales.

Debating Club The Debating Club has just finished its first, and very successful year at Waynes¬ boro High School. This club was formed by a group of students interested in discussing and debating on various topics. The club, sponsored by Mr. John Brown, has studied in detail, the rules of debating and of discussion. Although the club was relatively small this year, it has proven to be quite popular and will probably increase in membership as more students come to know its activities. This year many of the members of the Debating Club have given classroom debates for their projects. The Debating Club certainly deserves a great deal of recognition for increasing the enthusiasm among Waynesboro High School students for debates and intelligent discus¬ sions. 77 Distributive Education Club Ill; m ml W } IS —yg, i | Row : Alice Rankin; Joan Louderback; Larry Hamilton, Pres.; Pat Barnes, Prom.

The four points of the diamond represent Vocational Under¬ standing, Civil Consciousness, Social Intelligence, and Le adership Development. The activities of the year include promoting “Careers in Retailing Week” in Way¬ nesboro and giving an assembly program in w hich retailing as a career is advertised. Ap¬ pearing before civic groups, attending District and State Conventions, and helping a needy family at Christmas consume much of the club’s time. The D.E. Club of Waynesboro was successful in winning the District Honor Club Award. Larry Hamilton, the president of th e club this year, won the District Honor Stu¬ dent Award. First place in the state competition for the Merchandise Presentation Award was won by Pat Barnes at. the district meet in Staunton. Pat went even further to win the trophy and second place in the national meeting in Ohio. Diversified Occupations Club ' 1 ! .

The Diversified Occupations Club under the direction of Mr. Tolley enables stu¬ dents to maintain a job and at the same time, receive a complete High School Education. It also provides a social outlet for students who do not have time to enter into regular high school activities. The members of the Diversified Occupations Club take part in the regular school schedule in the morning and work for a local firm in the afternoon. The purposes of the club are to provide the local employers with better employees, to acquaint the businesses of Waynesboro with the program of the high school, and to pro¬ mote a profitable relationship between the employer and employee. Each year the members attend a District and a State Convention. At the beginning of the school year the Diversified Occupations Club presented a panel discussion to the school, the object of which was to familiarize the students with the possibilities of em¬ ployment during the school session.

It was rated one of the ten top chapters in the United States, took part in the National Convention, and had its sponsor, Mrs. Claire Craun, voted “Sponsor of the Year” at the State Convention. The FBLA strives to strengthen the confidence of young men and women in them¬ selves and their work, thereby developing competent, agressive business leadership. Its members work with local businessmen to encourage others to develop individual projects, and to establish themselves in business, and to create more interest and understanding in the intelligent choice of business occupations. To arouse interest in home and community im¬ provement, the FBLA participates in worthy business and community projects. Each year, some members of the FBLA attend Leadership Training Conference and Regional, State, and National discussion groups. Meeting programs include business films, speakers, and visits to local offices. The five types of FBLA activities are those that in¬ crease business knowledge and skill, school and community service, financial drives, social activities, and the organization of new chapters. £ r ' CL-s jl X pd, • j f; | 1 i r ! _ --— 1 Row : Mrs. Craun, Sponsor; Shirley Critzer, Sec.; Fay Connor, Pres.; Shelby Wood, Treas.; Shirley Rankin, Pari.; Bonnie Kay Gilbert; Richard Henkel, Hist.

The Future Homemakers of America Club is a national organization of pupils studying homemaking in senior high schools of the United States and territories. It of¬ fers opportunity for the further development of personal initiative in planning and carry¬ ing out activities related to homemaking. This organization brings together local, country, and state groups interested in, and working toward better home and family living, provides opportunities to share in solv¬ ing problems important to homelife, and sponsors group projects, local, state, and national in scope. These girls serve refreshments to the teachers at their faculty meeting each month and act as hostesses for teachers’ banquets, P. T.A. meetings, career night, and evaluation committees. At Waynesboro High School the Future Homemakers of America plan and plant gardens, make a cookbook, and plan menus for luncheons. The FHA Club sends re¬ presentatives to the State convention in Roan oke and entertains the mothers of the mem¬ bers at the international dinner. The club’s motto is “Toward New Horizons.” - 82 Future Teachers of America The Future Teachers of America Club is a relatively new club in our school, but already it has placed itself among the better known clubs at WHS. The club, which was started in the spring of nineteen fifty-six, is for students who are interested in the teaching profession. During their study halls, the members of the Future Teachers Club are allowed to teach in grades one through seven at Jackson-Wilson grade school. These future teachers conduct classes in math, spelling, English, history, and music. The club holds its meetings once a month and planned programs on teaching as a profession are presented. Each year several of the members and their sponsor attend the Future Teachers of America Convention in Richmond. Row 1: Judy Tressel, Vice Pres.; Kathie Olsen; Judy Good, Pres.; Miss Jones, Sponsor.

Giant Steps Staff Giant Stefs is our school’s new literary maga¬ zine. After an unsuccessful year with Valley Vibra¬ tions, our old newspaper, the staff decided to try a new type of literary magazine entitled “Giant Steps.” The magazine is composed of stories, poems, and essays written by the students of Way¬ nesboro High School. These articles are chosen by the staff, which is under the direction of Miss Freeman. There is usually an extra section such as “Outstanding Seniors”. The staff, headed by Sam¬ bra Neet, receives much help from the journalism class. In future years the staff will try to improve their publication. Sambra Neet Editor 84 Jnter-Club Council •Jij A 9 V ntfeV Club Council is a new organization formed by the Student Council As- oci tion. Thq council is composed of a representative member from each of the clubs in ay esbonAHigh School. At the meetings each member reports on the activities and |eial oppjects of his club. The council works to coordinate the activities of the various bs and prevent overlapping of purposes. This year the Inter-Club Council is working on a new point system for club mem¬ bers. It is designed to keep students from becoming too overburdened with club activities. Under this system a student is given a certain number of points for membership in a club and added points for any office held. When a student’s points add up to nineteen, he may join no more clubs. The Inter-Club Council, though comparatively new, promises to be a great help in promoting harmonious council relations among the various clubs in our school.

Key Club The Key Club, in order to develop initiative and leadership, provides experience in living and working together to serve the school and community. The work of the club in social, religious, and athletic fields aids its members in preparing for useful citizenship. The Key Club is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, and each week two members at¬ tend the Kiwanis meeting. The year’s activities include giving a Christmas dance, attending the Key Club convention, and assisting in many community projects such as collecting donations for the March of Dimes and the United Community Fund. 86 Latin Clubs The Latin I, Latin II, and Amici Clubs have completed a very successful year. Since interest was shown to start another Latin Club, the Amici Club was established for those students who have taken at least one year of Latin. Perhaps one of the most important events which they participated in this year was the State Latin Convention. The Waynesboro Latin Clubs played host to twenty-five other clubs from all parts of Virginia. An interesting program, planned by Penny Part¬ ridge, State Vice President, was presented. Election of the new officers were held at this meeting. In many projects the Latin Clubs work together. They have sponsored the Thanksgiving Dance and participated in other money-making projects. Each club donated a book to the library for the use of the entire student body. The aim of the clubs is to promote cultural understanding of the Latin language and its civilization. It also encourages students to take Latin. Latin I LT : .

Christmas finds the members of the club very busy as they make Christmas favors for the Way¬ nesboro Community Hospital and sponsor a Christmas party. Most of the members, who work as assistants in the library during one period each day, donate at least one book to the library and provide some type of publicity during National Library Week and Book Week. An assembly spon¬ sored by the Library Club completes its functions and terminates its fine job.

National Beta Club The National Beta Club is an honor society composed of Junior and Seniors who have maintained a B average throughout their high school class work. It promotes leader¬ ship, academic achievement, and the preservation of desirable character. This organization has as its colors old gold and black. The motto of the club “Ducamus Allis Serviendo” (Let us lead by serving others), indicates the inner purposes of the club. These purposes are to encourage effort, to reward merit, and to inspire and assist students to continue their education after high school graduation. Among the activities of the Beta Club are the Faculty-Student basketball game, the Beta Club Convention in Richmond, an assembly program, and the compiling of the Honor Roll each six weeks. A new project of the Beta Club is its annual “Twirp Week”, during which the girls throughout the school perform the boy’s duties. Twirp Week is terminated by the Sadie Hawkins Dance for which the students dress in typical “dogpatch” costumes. 90 Row 1 Joan Fitzgerald; Sarah McAllister; Sharon Hunter; Betty Lyle; Penny Pattie, Treas.; Brenda Kerby, Asst.

Pep Club This year for the first time the Pep Club elected a boy as President of the Club and, therefore, encouraged the membership of both boys and girls in the club and their en¬ thusiasm at school games. The primary aim of the Pep Club is to stimulate school spirit and good sportsman¬ ship. To carry out this aim the members of the Pep Club form a cheering section at the games and join the cheerleaders in spurring our teams to victory. Other activities in¬ clude making shakers and selling them at the games and decorating the goal posts before games. The Pep Club sponsors a Homecoming Dance. Members of the student body elect a queen and a court to be escorted by members of the football team and to reign over the memorable occasion. This year the Pep Club has succeeded in promoting good school spirit and in pro¬ moting “pep” in all school activities. Congratulations to those enthusiastic members. 91 Safety Patrol Row 1: Mr. Pidcock, Sponsor; Jimmy Watson; Charles Bowles; Wayne Dove; Samuel Moyer, Pres.; Robert Eavers, Vice Pres.; Roy Fisher; Wayne Meadows; Donnie Willis; Jimmy Smallwood.

This year’s Skyline has introduced several innovations along with the regular features of the annual. Among these are the Skyline’s new type of cover and special curriculum section. The theme, the school as the center of the commun¬ ity, is carried out by showing various students at work throughout our community and city activities that correspond with school activities. The Skyline has gone back to the regular order of pic¬ tures after the inverted order of last year. The convenience of a local printer has aided the staff in improving the over¬ all content and appearance of the annual. Each year the assistant editor and several members of the coming year’s staff attend the Southern Interscholastic Press Association Convention in Lexington with the spon¬ sor, Mr. Scott. The annual is graded and receives a score and advice on improvements. The Skyline staff will endeavor to improve and enlarge its annual. Ann Gordon Editor 94 Student Co-Operative Assoc .

As a representative of the student body, the Student Co-operative Association works to coordinate the relationship between the students and faculty and to solve any problems which may arise among the students. Representatives are chosen by the homerooms. The of¬ ficers include a president, a senior} a vice president, a ju¬ nior} a secretary, a senior; a treasurer, a sophomore. Se lected by the president from either the members of the council or from the student body are the chaplain, the Parliamentarian the Reporter, and the Sergeant-at-Arms. Some of the routine functions of the council are to pro¬ vide morning devotions, sponsor the Honor Committee and attend the meeting of the Natural Bridge District Schools. A new project of the council is the initiation of the Marshal Committee, a committee composed of outstanding members of the Junior Class who conduct members of the student body to assemblies and usher at school functions. “Operation Santa Clause” raised sixty-five dollars for Christmas gifts for a needy family. Louis Rader President Thespian Society The Thespian Society aims to interest the students of Waynesboro High School in dramatic interpretation upon the stage. As members of the State Thespian Society the club also strives to create an interest in the State Thespian Society for college and further ad¬ vancement in dramatic productions. Experience in scenery production, make-up, stage and personal properties, lighting, and sound effects is offered to the members. This year the efforts of the Thespian Society will go toward the purchase of a make-up kit. Another project of the club is the presentation of a one-act and a three-act radio play. “A Night in the Theatre” was presented in October. Included in the program were a one-act play, “Strange Road”; a radio play, “Air Raid”; a pantomine; and several monologues. The play “Strange Road” was given again at a P.T.S.A. meeting and was en¬ tered in the Virginia High School League Drama contest. The three-act comedy “The Importance of Being Earnest” was the Thespian Society’s spring production.

Their enthusiasm and support at each and every athletic event was inspiring to both players and spectators. Through long hours of practice this group of girls added many new cheers to their original stock. We owe a great deal of gratitude to the cheerleaders who so capably represent Waynesboro High School. Strenuous practice sessions like this one result in a smooth cheerleading squad. 97 Majorettes Joan Fitzgerald; Becky Allen; Margie Diggs; Virginia Whitesel, Head Majorette; Karen Buzzard; Sharon Hunter; Brenda Kerby.

N[V ia The Waynesboro High School Choral Club has raised its standards this year by ad¬ ding a written program to its customary ac¬ tivities, and presenting the theory of music and music appreciation at least once a week. It has stressed good tonal quality, true in¬ tonation, clear enunciation, correct pronuncia¬ tion, and good rhythm and phrasing. Mrs. Reynolds has also given opportunities for small ensembles as well as for solo perfor¬ mances. This year the Choral Club was host to the All-State Chorus, North. This.chorus is com¬ posed of outstanding voices from Virginia’s high schools. In March the Choral Club at¬ tended the Choral Festival at Groveton High School in Alexandria, Virginia. The Choral Club has presented many fine programs this year, including its Win¬ ter and Spring Concerts, baccalaureate services, and graduation. Its four ensembles, two trios, one octet, and one quartet have appeared before civic and church groups and on a Christmas television presentation.

Attendance and support at all athletic events, civic or school, are extremely gratifying. The townfolk and the school administrators realize the value of organized sports competition. Football season at Waynesboro High School was an exciting time for many Waynesboro fans. Our tacklers prepare to down a Lexington oppo¬ nent. YMCA League competition was very heavy this year. Butch Berry tries for two points during a league game. The Little Giants of Waynesboro High School had an extremely good basketball record. Ellington and Har¬ ris rebound in the tournament game against Staunton. The city Little League teams had a very active and re¬ warding season. 103 Row 1: Joe Berry; Jerry Beard; Pete Yearout; Ronnie Knicely; James Kanney; Donnie Dobbins; Jan Marion; Glen Johnson; Tom Ellington; Walter Noell; Tracy Hunter.

With a record of four wins and two losses. The jayvees proved capable of handling their opponents very satis¬ factorily. In losing, the scores of the opposition were not overwhelming, but this fact only proved that these games could have gone either way. Most of these boys will be playing varsity next year and should help the Little Giants in their quest for the District Champ¬ ionship. 106 Giants, Young But Strong Row 1: Poochie Harris; Pete Yearout; Butch Tyree; Ronnie Knicely; Humes Franklin; Doug Larsen; Danny Woodworth.

The Little Giants of 1960 will have the same team that posted an excellent fourteen and six record during 1959. The team only lost four games to District 5 opponents; two of these were lost to State runner-up Buena Vista. This shows the ability that next year’s team will have after 1959 season of experience. Experience is a main factor in winning games, but the Little Giants seemed to forget that and constantly edged their unsuspecting opponents. There was fast and furious action with many close calls. All in all, it was a highly successful season and all these boys will be back for another try for the District Championship. Rex Downey, the coach, has shown his coaching ability in the excellent showing that his team has made this year. SCOREBOARD Waynesboro Visitors 61___ H’burg 57 35 __ B.V. 45 36 ...

Junior Varsity Basketball The Waynesboro J.V. Giants, as usual, had a very suc¬ cessful season. The winning trend that the J.V.’s have fol¬ lowed in the past continued this year. Although they drop¬ ped a few games this season by close margins, they will be back next year as strong as ever. This team should give some of its talent to the varsity team. Coach Gruver has worked patiently and diligently in shaping his boys into a well coordinated unit. SCORECARD Waynesboro Visitors 41 _ H’burg 37 22 _ B.V. 31 57 _ V.S.D. 14 40 __ C.F. 16 34 ..
