The 1949 POINT is the twen- tieth publication Of that name. The first annual was THE SKEETER, published for the one year, 1916. Richard Bullard was editor-in-chief and Irene Mc- George, business manager. In 1929 the publication of an an- nual was resumed under a name inherited from the first school paper, THE POINT. The editor- in-chief of the first POINT was Percy Fox, the business man- ager, Maurice Cleasbyg and the faculty adviser, Miss Wilhelmina Wright. Fnom 1929 to 1932 THE POINT was published as a print- ed annual and during that period twice won first place among Class C school annuals in the contests sponsored by the Vir- ginia High School Literary- Athletic League. Because of financial difficulties in the De- pression years, THE POINT was Seated: Putnam, Humphreys, Evans, Ashley, Highland Standing: B. Johnson, Riddle, J. Johnson, Howell, Hall a hand-made scrapbook for the senior class. In 1941 THE POINT'S publication as a school project was resumed in some- what its present form. The 1949 volume of THE POINT represents an effort of the Stai to present in news- paper style a picture of our high school life today and yesterday. In after years if headlines, well- loved faces, pleasant scenes, and accounts of happy activities help to recall high school mem- ories and ideals, we have fulfill- SKEETER STAFF-1916 Page I, ed our purpose.

HUMPHREYS School Closes 43d Session West Point High School was established in 1906 and, there- fore, last evening closed its forty-third session. Up to 1903 the school had been an eight- grade grammar school, with a faculty of four teachers. The first principal of the high school was Mr. Thomas J. Harwell. The other members of this facul- ty, including elementary teach- ers, were Miss Katharine P. Howerton, Mrs. K. R. Richard- son, Miss Maude Bland, and Miss Lily Johnson. Since Mr. HarWell's administration there have been fourteen different principals. Miss Katharine P. Howerton, principal from 1918 to June 1939, served the longest term. Mr. Homer A. Hum- phreys, who is completing his Iifth year as principal, is the fifteenth principal of the school. The history of the school has been one of steady growth. In the early fall of 1924 the high school department moved from three rooms in the present ele- mentary school building to the present high school building. In June, 1948, the latter building was renamed the Howerton Building in honor of Miss Kath- arine P. Howerton, a teacher and principal of the West Point School for fifty-two years. Until 1913, only three years of high school work were offer- ed, and the members of the Class of 1914 were the Hrst to graduate with sixteen credits. Until 1934, the program of study offered by the school con- tained only academic subjects. That year, the commercial de- partment was established and in 1941, during the principalship of Mr. Joseph B. Van Pelt, home economics, fine arts, and indus- trial arts were added. In 1948, agriculture became a depart- ment of the school. Physical training was Hrst made a required activity for all pupils during the session 1923- 1924. Miss Frances Shipman, now Mrs. D. N. Sutton, and Miss Hilda Lawson, now Mrs. Charles McReynolds, were the first direc- WEST POINT HIGH SCHOOL-1916 tors of exercises in physical education. During the earlier years of the school, the only co-curricu- lar activities were a literary so- ciety and an athletic associa- tion. The program of club ac- tivities has within recent years expanded and grown in impor- tance. The school has had a guidance program since 1934. It is through the guidance program that each student may better find in the school program what he needs for his own fullest de- velopment. The standing of a school in the accrediting organizations to which it belongs is a matter of much interest and importance to the school and to the com- munity. Beginning with the year 1918, the school has been fully accredited by the Virginia State Board of Education, and beginning with the year 1924, it has been fully accredited by the Southern Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools. Last evening the s c h o o l graduated twenty-three stu- dents. The forty-two members of the Class of 1939 made up the largest graduating class. There were only two students in the first class, the Class of 1908. The first graduates of the school were Fannie Clements, now Mrs. W. C. Gouldman, and Marian Lewis, now Mrs. R. B. Feild. At the present time plans are being considered to make West Point High School the central school for the surrounding coun- ties. CLUBS K Continued from Page 251 erson sang.

School History Several private schools were established in the,town of West Point in the second half of the last century. According to Mrs. Mary New Lipscomb in Recollections of Early West Point, Mrs. Lainia Couch taught possibly the earliest of these schools. For a number of years, begin- ning in 1886, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Broaddus, formerly of Caro- line County, conducted private schools in West Point. The Broadduses held school at vari- ous times in several different buildings-in the house on Main Street, between Eleventh and Twelfth, now occupied by Mr. Wm. Hudson, in Ware Cottage on Eleventh Streetg in the large house no longer standing at the corner of Fourteenth and Lee: in the Owen house on the corner of Main and Second, and in the Terminal Hotel, which stood on First Street between Main and Lee. The Broadduses first had a girls' school, then a boys' mili- tary school, and again a girls' school known as the West Point Female Seminary. In the early twentieth century, the Broaddus family sold the school to a Mr. Bethel, who operated it for a short time for both boys and girls, first on the Hill and later at Ware Cottage.

SCHOOL DANCES The Recreation Committee, with Margaret Ashley as gener- al chairman and Peggy Evans Activities Brighten as dance chairman, sponsored four dances. The first was an informal dance on November 24. Pumpkins and corn decorations appropriate to the harvest sea- son made this a gala affair. The Christmas dance took place December 17. Attractive deco- rations, former students home for the holidays, and the pect of a long Christmas pros- vaca- tion, all contributed to the School Days gaiety of this occasion. The first formal affair of the year was the Valentine dance, Feb- ruary 11. This began with a grand march in the auditorium, beautifully d e c o r a t e d with cupids and hearts.

C. A. committees held their final meetings during the month of May. There are today, in addition to the Stu- dent Association with its service committees, eleven organizations and two publication staffs. When the High School was established in 1906, there were no student organizations. In 1908 an athletic association was formed, in 1911, a literary so- cietyg in 1914, a chorus, and in 1915, the Student Association. 'These four organizations are still in existence. Since that time many other organizations have been formed, some of which were short lived. The 1916 Skeeter lists such or- ganizations as the Jitney Club, Activities Are Expanded Bloomers Club, the Kickers, the Loafers, and It Club. Through the years the pro- gram of club activities has been much expanded both in numbers of organizations and in the im- portance of these groups as an essential part of the school pro- gram. Page 23 Athletic Association Oldest Organization The High School's oldest or- ganization is the ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION formed in 1908 to sponsor organized athletics. However, the Athletic Editor of the 1916 Skeeter states that there were no real organized athletics until the session 1915- 1916. In that year the boys played interscholastic football, basketball and baseball and par- ticipated in track meets. The girls' basketball team, known as Tompkins Tigers, also engaged in interscholastic games and sometimes they won, cheered by their favorite yell- Tutti Frutti! Punch and Judy.'

The Athletic Association has always been a popular organiza- tion, but has functioned with varying success because often the school lacked a properly trained athletic director. In those earlier years the school owed much of its success in athletic contests to David Feild, a former graduate of West Point High School, who served for several years as coach. In later years help in coaching was given by Forest Kirby and Tom Wolfe, both former West Point students. This session the Athletic As- sociation has sponsored football, basketball, and track teams for Page 21, secretary, and Thomas Hooper, treasurer. Mr. Haynes and Mr. Kolcum coached the athletic teams. had a literary society since 1911, when the Pierian Society was organized. This organization met on Monday evenings and in 1916 had a membership of seventy-two. Then, as now, the Literary Society was the organi- zation in which students were trained for participation in the contests sponsored by the State Literary-Athletic L e a g u e of which West Point has been a member since 1913. In 1919, the society was re- organized and given its present name, THE RUFFNER LITER- ARY SOCIETY. To satisfy the need for friendly rivalry and competition, the Howerton Lit- erary Society was organized November 16, 1923. In 1935, the members of both organiza- tions decided to merge under the name, Ruifner Literary Society.

Later this group was discontinued and not until 1931, under Mr. Fred Hel- sabeck, was the present Choral Club organized. Mrs. Geyer has been directing the Choral Club since 1944. The CHORAL CLUB meets twice a week and has thirty-six members. Margaret Evans is its president. Especial activi- ties during the school session have included a program given for the King William County Woman's Club at the Christmas season, assistance to the Dra- matic Club in presenting a Christmas Pageant at the School Assembly, and singing a group of songs for the March meeting of the P. T. A. The club also rendered music appro- priate to the carrying out of the pageantry at the Health Day ,program in May and a group ! from the club and Donald Dick- erson, soloist. participated in 'the State Music Festival. The lyear's activities concluded with, ing in drama appreciation and production. Miss E 1 iz a b e t h Jones was the first director of this organization. Dramatics this session was very successful. Bolstered by the appearance of several new faces, the more experienced members were able to carry on in good fashion.

At the regional eliminations in Newport News, this same play was rated Superior.

A., was begun in West Point High School in the session 1940-41. This organiza- tion has played an important part in our school life. The patrol in 1940-41 consisted of thirteen members and has now increased to twenty-five. Jimmy Sears was the first captain, as- sisted by Carter Cole and Cor- bett Roberts as lieutenants. These jobs have been handed down to the present staff con- sisting of : Captain, Tommy Hooperg lieutenants, James Robins and Edward Kopakie, and twenty-three patrols. Their jobs are to furnish patrols for the bus, each home room and each end of Twelfth Street dur- ing the lunch period. The patrols also assist the lunch teacher on the grounds in STREET CLOSED SAFETY PATROL H omcmakers The Home Economics Club was organized in 1943 by Miss Nan Duer. In 1946 it was af- filiated with the Future Home- BAND watching over the grade school children. School Band Although the WEST POINT HIGH SCHOOL BAND is small this year it has been able to make very good music. This is due not only to the musicianship of its members, but to the fact that the various instruments used are in well balanced num- bers. Besides the playing group, there are others who receive lessons but have not yet acquir- ed sufficient skill to play in the Band. These pupils hope to be in the Band next year. Mr. C. C.

In the Fall of 1948 the Fed- eration held its meeting at West Point High School with the West Point club as hostess. The club had a Christmas tea and bazaar for the purpose of raising money for National Club dues and served several dinners during the year for the principals at their meeting. This club joined with the F. F. A. in a magazine campaign. With part of the money a floor lamp and scatter rugs were purchased for the apartment. In March the club again joined the F. F. A. for a much enjoyed social. The boys provided entertain- ment and the girls refresh- ments. In April the senior girls spent a week-end at the apartment. They took complete charge of managing it with Miss Staples' supervision, and had a lot of fun too.

The Photography Club was founded in 1945 with Mr. Hum- phreys as sponsor. The first president was Henry Voznick. This club is especially fortunate in having for its sponsor an amateur photographer, who has equipment that the club mem- bers enjoy using. Each year the Photography Club holds a pho- tography contest for the entire school. The Airplane Club began with Mr. Adams as sponsor. It is now know as the Aeronautics Club and is sponsored by Mr. Haynes. Orange and Blue Since the re-establishment of a school paper in the 1945-1946 l ,., school life.

KEYS AND KUES KLUB Page 23 -..YW -- .V I HIGH SCHOOL WINS STATE CHAMPS TAKES FIRST IN CLASS C TRACK The absence of track for two years at West Point seemed to be no hindrance as far as track activities were concerned. Be- cause of the lack of interest on the part of other Group III schools, meets were impossible to schedule. The Pointers were forced to enter the State Cham- pionship Meet practically un- tested. In spite of these condi-I tions, West Point came back from Charlottesville with the Group III title. At the Highland Springs In- vitational Meet, West Point came in a strong third, just 2116 points behind Glen Allen. Ken- neth Turner showed very good form in the 440 for West Point's only first place. Wilson, Riddle, Schultz, and Petke turned in good performances against the larger schools. It was at Charlottesville, how- ever, that the Pointers showed their strength. They scored 42 1-3 points to their nearest op- ponent's 201-3. Double wins were scored by Schultz in the 100 and 220, and by Wilson in the shot put and discus. All except two members of the team scored at Charlottesville. Those who scored points in track were: Riddle, Turner, Schultz, Petke, Wilson, Dicker- son, Downey, Berry, Johnson, and Hasty. ONSHIP You give but little when you give of your possessions.

The activities of the club include programs relevant to the interests of the individual members and brief summaries of current events in science. The Science Club of this school is aliiliated with the Science Clubs of America, a na- tional organization of high school boys and girls interested in the field of science. Through membership in such an organiza- tion, individual clubs are able to exchange ideas and information of specific interest to them. Science Service, which sponsors the Science Clubs, also admin- isters the annual Science Talent Search devised to discover out- standing scientific ability among high school students. William Hall, from West Point, entered the competition this year. In May, several members of the Science Club attended the meeting of the Virginia Junior Academy of Science, held in Richmond, Virginia, where they had an opportunity to meet fel- low club members and saw a very excellent movie on Atomic Energy and its implications. William Hall, the present president of the Science Club, has been interested in the or- ganization from its beginning two years ago.

CBITUARIES . . Services were held Friday night, June tenth, in the audi- torium of the West Point High School for those, who, ending a chapter in their life, were ready to be sent on their way to a bigger world. This was a sad scene for the close friends and relatives who had watched them through their school life. i il i OTIS BRISTOW met his sad fate when he was forced from his motor scooter. He leaves us to explore a different kind of life at V. P. I. Ill 1 ll' We regret to inform the stu- dents that there may never be two better athletes than BEERY, who has a good eye for the bas- ket, and PUTSY, our star football player. They leave to see the world with the U. S. Air Force. i Ill U BILL ROBERTSON was taken suddenly with a fatal case of run down battery in physics class, and leaves to inspect more thoroughly the Ford parts. F l K MARGARET ASHLEY leaves and is survived by Kathryn Putnam and a much over-worked piano. U i U For those who were looking forward to a year of biscuits and congo bars, it was a sad day when MARGARET SKUERS and VIRGINIA WROBLICK w a s h e d dishes for the last time in the Home Economics kitchen. ll l i CLAY Woonn-:, one of the many seniors caught in the tragedy of Macbeth, rendered a loud sigh of relief when he arrived at the Hfth act. He will spend a quiet life in the hardware business. lk 1 ll AGNES WAJCIECHOWSKIJS fatal steps were taken when she taught Mr. Haynes to po1ka. l She leaves to the school the new tradition of dancing the polka during lunch hour. R 1 ll JOYCE HIGHLAND and ANNE HUMPI-IREYS left their mark of fame in the commercial depart- ment. The fact that they proved that one may type with both accuracy and speed gives a goal for which the future typing students may strive. Q ll' i JAMES TRIMMER left his epi- taph taken from a poem by Stockson, which we will quote: After the battle sleep is best, After noise, tranquillity. We know that he will find all of this on a farm he has planned to own some day. 8 i U WILLIAM HALL was caught in the catastrophe of the Atomic Age and from this time on will be hopelessly lost in the world of scientists and their new de- vices for splitting atoms. C lk l PEGGY EVANS'S last remark before she left was that she would sell, lend, lease or rent her chemistry notebook of unbal- anced equations to anyone not planning to take up science as a career. ll O 1 FRANKLIN ROBERTS heaved out a fervent last wish that Mrs. Cluverius would in the future require algebra students to solve for P rather than X, as had been his custom. 8 i 1 TOMMY HOOPER, unlike his brother, Billy, who is a para- trooper, was allergic to high places. In the future he will sail the seas with the U. S. Navy. BARBARA DYsoN leaves us to try her wings in a new area of speech and drama. She is sur- vived by Jacqueline Johnson to uphold the reputation of the high school's drama department. i 8 4 BILLY JONES left us in a last spurt of energy when he stepped on the gas and caused his car to fly forward into space. ll' H U BEEE Guzxx left us soon after an attempt to make the rest of the altos be heard in harmony with the sopranos. She is sur- vived by Doris Anderson to keep the altos going strong. ll' Q U Everyone was saddened by the fact that CYRIL PETKE was the last of his kin to leave us. Everyone was aware that he had been a helpful friend in many respects. We know that he will be happy leading a new life as an accountant. ll K O JAMES COLEMAN was last seen in a playful wrestling match with William Walton during home room period. We sincerely hope that James will not so treat all of his customers when he becomes a salesman. U l U CoNsTANcE WOLFE, another good commercial student, will be missed greatly by her fellow students. Just before she had to leave us, her plan was to con- tinue the study of her commer- cial work. 1 l H CHARLES MILLER left quietly, while still clinging to his guitar. What distressed us was the fact that he might not have much time to practice on his guitar if he should decide to go into busi- ness for himself.

Although you are graduates, you can do a great service for the rest of us, if you never cease to be students-looking for oppor- tunities and ways to cherish the American system of free enter- prise and to improve the American way of life. You can be thankful for free schools in a country where you are free to worship and work and think and talk as you please. This is your heritage from the people who built America. THE FUTURE is pretty largely in your hands-you must be vigilant and active to combat the evils of socialism, government domination of private industry, and all the isms that destroy democracy. WVe depend upon you to do a good job. Good Luck! EAST COAST ELECTRIC COMPANY, West Point, Va.
