One of these schools was known as the Basic High School, with Mr. R. J. Costen.as principal and a school board composed of Messrs. W. G. Myers, G. H. Harman, and W. A. King. Tnis high school consisted of three teachers, including the principal, and forty-three students; while the grades had eight teachers and an enrollment of two hundred and thirteen. In the old confines of Waynesboro, previous to consolidation, existed the Waynesboro High School. The welfare of this school had been held at heart by Mr. A. C. Kimler, the principal, from 1909-1921, and several very public-spirited citizens; and from its mere beginning in 1903 had grown to be one of the most flourishing schools in this district. Its principal at the time of consolidation was Mr. D. «. Hurley, who has done much toward the advancement of the school. There were seventy students enrolled in the high school department with five teachers, including the principal. The grades had an enrollment of four hundred and ninety-five, with a faculty of eight members. In the year 1923-24 the two towns of Waynesboro united and the high school department was placed in the new building which had been built in the old Waynesboro area. This is a large and beautiful building having ten classrooms, steam heat, shower baths for boys and girls, and a gymnasium with balcony on three sides. After the union of the Basic and Waynesboro High Schools the question of naming the new high school was agitated. Many names were mentioned, but after that of Woodrow Wilson was suggested and recommended by the Senior Class to the school board, this was selected as the official name. Mr. Hurley was then made supervising principal of the public schools of Waynesboro, which position he still holds. Since consolidation the schools have continued to grow in number of pupils enrolled, faculty, and curriculum. Today we have thirty-six teachers where once in the two schools there were only twenty-eight. There is a total of one hundred and eighty in high school where once there were one hundred and thirteen. The high school offers a wide range of subjects, it is one of the few schools in the state offering a full Bible course; an efficient commercial department has been estab- lished and offers to the Juniors and Seniors book-keeping, shorthand, typewriting, commercial law, business English, and business arithmetic. Domestic science and sewing, both of which has its own laboratory, are also offered. Since consolidation we have had seventy-one graduates, among whom there have been many high honor students and medalists. The school for the last three years has been rating its graduates by quality units and marking the number on the diploma. Next year the form of the diploma will change as required by the quality unit standard.

Therefore, having been wees preceded by three chronicles, it is very difficult to make this ees i fA) fourth chronicle show much originality. September 12, 1922, on KS} e p is BN} which this begins, is a very important date which should be writ- Cay Co ten in the annals of history as well as 1492 and 1607, to be EI PON ONE A! handed down from generation to generation. The story of the experiences of the Freshman Class of Basic “Hi,” and of the Freshman Class of Waynesboro “Hi,” would be very humorous and interesting, but as space is limited, and as the trials and punishments we en- dured from the Sophomores were endless, the Freshman Class of ’22 had their joys very evenly distributed. After the joys of a summer vacation, we enter the “Haven of Rest (?),” namely, Sophomore year. The High Schools of Waynesboro and Basic were united in 1923, so the history of the two classes of ’22 becomes one. The work was not very heavy, and recreations? Well, the Freshman Class received rough treatment from us for a while. Our Junior year truly seemed a lull before the storm of work to be done in the Senior year. We fulfilled the time-honored custom, and entertained the Seniors in February. The majority of the class passed their work with only one or two left behind. We at last have become dignified (?) Seniors, the long-looked-for goal has been reached. The Class as a whole deserve praise for their whole-hearted co- operation and united effort in literary, scholastic, and athletic duties. We are proud to say that the class of ’26 has among its number three of the star basketball players of the first team—Zora Lovegrove, Scottie Witt, and Louise Via; also in last year’s joint literary program a majority of medals and prizes were awarded to members of this year’s Senior Class. Porter McCray received the prize for the best essay, Lucy Taylor the medal for the individual debate and second prize for the best essay, and Evie Ellis a prize for declamation. Among the great artists of the future we see the names of Helen Wilson and Elizabeth Robson. We feel sure that Evelyn Harner’s ability to recite will lead her to bigger and broader fields. And as we are about to close this chronicle, let us add a few words about the future. In after years when two or three happen to meet to talk over High School experiences, how we will long for the familiar sight of a tall figure with silvery hair, that presides over the Sophomore room, rings the bells, and is loved by every one. For the dear, patient, auburn-haired teacher wha taught us the poetic qualities and writings of many noted writers in English and American Literature, and for the many other loved, respected, and honored teachers who helped us over the rough paths of education. Let us hope that some time in the future, the Senior Class of ’26 will gather together in one place for a grand class reunion. —MarcGaret Moore, Historian, ’26. aS TE OS OS Ba Sd A ES ray peer ees te Se A ANN NE A A SS RE SH PORTER ALEXANDER McCRAY “IT came, I saw, I conquered.” President of Senior Class, President of Poe Literary Society, Editor-in-Chief of THE WILSONIAN Behold our class president. A combination of brains and school spirit. With a little sarcasm thrown in, a Jack of all trades, and good at all. Porter is loved and looked up to by his class-mates. We expect big things of Porter, and are sure of the results.

Good nature, poetic ability, and loyalty are outstanding characteristics of Lola, who is better known as “Buttermilk.” To know her is to like her. It is true Lola has never been accused of being huge, but we must re- member that “good things” come in small packages.” Luck to you, “Buttermilk.” VIRGINIA COYNER “Sober, steadfast, and demure.” Member Poe Literary Society. Virginia has proven her ability as a stu- dent by persistent endeavor, and possesses the faculty of getting pleasure out of work or play. Her good humor and cheerful dis- position have made for her many loyal friends. Her genuine interest in all things forecast a successful career. GLADYS, COYNER “Loyalty binds me.” Member Poe Literary Society. Gladys realizes a thing worth doing is worth doing well; and she has carried out this theory in scholastic and literary accom- plishments. Although possessing a rather quiet disposition, she has left a distinctive impression on a certain young undergradu- ate. Whatever the field of her activity, we know her life will be a success. HARRY BOOKER “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” Member Poe Literary Society. Harry is the most loyal of Seniors, not only is he good in his classes, but he is so good on argument that we hope to make a public speaker of him. His loyalty to his class, his school, his friends has secured for him the good will of his classmates and teachers. SCC OM ——E S WERTH FIELDER “He’s completely subjugated.” Member of Lanier Literary Society; Baseball Team. Werth’s genial personality and attractive manner have made him popular with many. He is one of the prominent, popular, and promising members of the class of 26. Werth is not prone to talk very much, but when he does a lot of good common sense is displayed. His friends and classmates believe he cannot avoid a successful future. EVELYN ELLIS “Versed in flattery, and womanly wiles.” Member of Poe Literary Society; Eta Sigma. “Evie” started in the Freshman year like a whirlwind, and has been going strong ever since. At dinner recess and after school you can always hear someone yelling for “Evie”! “Evie” possesses an ever-increas- ing friendliness, which grows with every meeting. We hope “Evie” will attain all the success we wish her. FRANCES FITZGERALD “Beauty of behavior is the finest of fine arts.” Member of Lanier Literary Society. Quiet and unassuming, Frances has been a steady, consistent worker and student. As a rule Frances doesn’t have very much to say. When the occasion arises which Fran- ces thinks needs her support she is right on the spot. Good luck to you, Frances. FRANCES HUNT “The power of thought and the magic of winds.” Member of Lanier Literary Society; ‘ Eta Sigma. Frances has the ability of making and re- taining friends wherever she goes. As a “sub” on the Wilson Basketball Team, she has proven her worth as an athlete. Her genial personality has fitted her for every occasion. Frances is a reliable worker and a true friend of all who know her well. The best wishes of everyone go with her. eee EEEnEEEEEREEeenineeninenninin nana aaa SE EES NE a EVELYN HARNER “True to herself, true to her friends, and true to duty always.” Member of Poe Literary Society. Evelyn possesses a remarkable and ami- able disposition. She has been a conscien- tious student through all her high school career. And her endeavor as a member of the Poe Literary Society has amply shown her ability to recite. The Class of ’26 knows that Evelyn’s pleasing personality will gain her recognition. HELEN HENKLE “Be satisfied with nothing but your best.” Member of Lanier Literary Society. Every one may not know Helen very well, as her manner is unobtrusive and modest. She enjoys a good time, joins in the fun with the rest of us. Helen is quiet and unassuming, for her mind and thoughts are always ever afar in search of treasures. Although Helen is a little hard to know, we are sure her friends appreciate her good qualities. May success be yours. GLADYS JONES “The secret of success is constancy of purpose.” Member of Lanier Literary Society. Gladys is quiet and studious. Though she keeps out of the throbbing current of our life, yet she is a loyal Senior, ready to help the class when the occasion comes. WILLIAM GARBER “Cleave to that which is good.” Member of Lanier Literary Society. Little, not loud, but studious. But while he studies, he is never too busy in anything when called upon. Into whatever paths of life Fate may choose to lead him, we.are confident that he shall gain the heights. Ee ER ree ee ee . a AT = Ee ey SE IS ON CHARLES GAW “With all your faults we love you still.” Assistant Business Manager WILSONIAN; Secretary Lanier Literary Society; Cheer Leader. Everybody knows “Charlie,” his irrepres- sible good humor has won him a host of friends. Many think “Charlie” is scream- ingly funny, and we are sure there isn’t any word in the Dictionary to describe him. In spite of his love to cut up the file shows a record above the average. His humor and good nature will bring him success, we feel sure. ZORA LOVEGROVE “The Gods have smiled upon Member Lanier Literary Society; Captain Girls Basketball; Joke Editor Annual; Eta Sigma, Monogram Club. ” Zora has been an outstanding figure in every: field of school activity, literary, scholastic, and athletic. Her popularity is shown by her wide circle of friends. Pos- sessing a sweet disposition and a charming manner which attracts friends, we feel sure she will be as successful in the future as she has been in high school. MARGARET MOORE “Her smiles are but touches of sunshine.” Member of Lanier Literary Society; Class Historian. The days have been brighter for us be- cause you are alive. You have filled a place in our hearts which had been a blank with- out you, and then have established a dear relationship with us which time can never end. For all this we give you love. All shall go down into memory’s chest to be looked at in after years. MARY MOSBY “Vanity of vanities all is vanity.” Member Lanier Literary Society; Eta Sigma. During the time Mary has been in school she has participated in all the pleasure which the friendships and activities of school life can yield. Though Mary is small in stature, she makes up in other qualities. Those who know Mary find a staunch friend, possessing an attractive though un- usual personality. Her most intimate friends cannot wish her more success than we pre- clict. my CLAUDINE MYERS “Twinkle, twinkle, little star.” President Lanier Literary Society; Assist- ant Business Manager of WILsonian ; Eta Sigma. In Claudine, generally known as “Dean,’ we find the unusual combination: scholastic ability, common sense, and good fellowship. “Dean” possesses such an attractive and magnetic personality that she is loved and admired by everyone. There is no neces- sity of a prophecy in regard to her future success. ’ ANNIE NEWMAN “With malice towards none and charity for all.” Member Lanter Literary Society. Here is one who still holds to the tradi- tion that long hair is best. With her long curls, her quiet, dignified manner, Annie might have come to us from the years gone by. She has, however, prepared herself for the business world, and we wish her great success. ELIZABETH ROBSON “Gentle of speech, beneficient of mind.” Treasurer of Lamer Literary Society; Art Editor of WILSONIAN. Elizabeth is blessed with the faculty of making friends, for few care to resist the charm of her unassuming manner, good nature, and loyalty. Elizabeth’s friends and classmates wish her great success in the future. FRANK HUTCHENS “Doomed for a certain time to play the fool.” Member Lanier Literary Society; Baseball. Good nature is his most prominent char- acteristic. “Jack” is always in a good hu- mor. First there is a twinkling eye, next a grin, and then a chuckle. We are glad to have him in our class, and we will miss him a great deal when our class breaks up in June. We wish you a good future. A A AN NT A ND AFT SSS st Ss SR EES EFS ee WILLIAM SHUEY “Too much study is a weariness of the flesh.” Member of Lanier Literary Society; Captain of Baseball Team. If anybody would call for William we are afraid “Billy” wouldn’t show up. But just say “Billy,” and he is there and ready to go. He is not unacquainted with work, but when time to play comes—well, he knows how. If his high school days predetermines future success, Billy’s happiness is certain. ANNA ROSENTHAL “Perseverance conquereth all things.” Member of Lanier Literary Society; Social Editor of THE WILSONIAN. Anna is one of the most brilliant students of the class of ’26. Quiet, unassuming, effh- cient, and exact, she has gone about her work of making excellent grades. Anna goes to Columbia University from here, and we can predict for her success in every en- deavor. LUCYSTAX LOR “By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.” Vice-President of Poe Literary Soctety; Business Manager of WIiLSONIAN; Sec- retary of Eta Sigma; Cheer Leader. If a girl’s position in the world was judged by the number of friends she has, such would certainly stand upon the heights. We suppose Lucy comes to school to gain knowledge, which she does very creditably. In the classroom her record is good, on the platform as a debater it is bet- ter, and as an actress she is best. We feel sure that Lucy will succeed in a manner which few have the ability to do. MARIE TAYLOR “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Treasurer of Poe Literary Society; Eta Sigma. Cheerfulness, attractiveness, and good na- ture are only a few of Marie’s many good qualities, which have won for her a host of friends. Marie’s willingness to go in for anything makes everyone love her, and what is better than to be loved and admired? Marie possesses a contagious smile and pleasant disposition, and a faculty for achievement. In the future may good luck and happiness be yours. ee SP et LOUISE VIA “Tt’s better to lie a little, than be unhappy much.” Member Poe Literary Society; Athletic Editor of WItsontan; Basketball; Monogram Club. You will find Louise on the list of good students. 3esides pursuing her studies, Louise snatched time to make a host of friends. Wherever you find a group of boys and girls, somewhere near the center you will see Louise. The “Imp” is always accomodating, happy most of the time, ready to argue any time, and possesses an at- tractive personality. The Class of ’26 knows Louise will conquer “Dame Fortune” with a smile and a laugh. SCORPIE RWI ial “A man needs experience with a girl like her.” Member Lanier Literary Society; Chairman Program Commuittec; Manager Girls Basketball Team; Monogram Club. Scottie is another instance of a student who excels in scholastic as well as athletic activities. There is no doubt in Scottie’s in- terest in all things pertaining to W. H. S. Being naturally good-natured, entertaining, and attractive, Scottie has made many life- long friends who wish her all possible suc- cess in future years. HELEN WILSON “A witch, a fairy, anything you please.” Member Lanter Literary Society; Assistant Art, Monogram Club Editor. While Helen doesn’t regard school books as her best friends, she has shown great in- terest in athletics, and was one of the best “subs” on the Wilson squad. We count our- selves fortunate in having known Helen; and we feel sure her strong determination and self reliance fortells future success. BEVERLY VINES “Let us be seen by our deeds.’ Member Poe Literary Society. Beverly’s specialty is doing everything and doing it well. His record in high school has been among the best. And al- ways he has been the same Beverly, quiet, unassuming, doing his part in everything. A good student, a loyal society member. Whatever may be his profession in the fu- ture, we are sure he will be successful. ’ Closing Time Farewell, old class of twenty-six, long have we striven for fame. Four long years we have labored to get this honored name. We cherish the thoughts of our school, of pupils and teachers dear, And when we think of leaving them we sometimes shed a tear. The tasks these years were hard, but we faced them like a man. We hope this year to graduate and that time’s near at hand. We all have had our troubles and our faults have been too great, But we hope the faculty will forgive, for faults we really hate. Dear Wilson “Hi,” we'll miss you still and all the joys we had. And trust that in the future vears the pupils will not be bad. We shall never again be together as we are now, I fear, Sut hope for a class reunion some time in the future near. mes Rosert Boyp Marie BRAND Louise BROWER HELEN Brown KATHLEEN BusH WILLIAM CLARK JANET COINER JOSEPHINE COINER EVELYN Cox W ALTER CRICKENBERGER HAROLD FABER KEMPER FITCH MARIE Floyp Junior Class Officers Wotto Onward Over Obstacles Colors Garnet and Gold Wembers HELEN GARBER LEAH GOLLADAY RALPH HANGER GORDON HARMON LyLe HISERMAN ELIZABETH HopGEs RiIcHARD HOLLAR REBECCA KENNEDY SYLVESTER KITE Maccie Kurtz ALEATH LEONARD Louise LINHOSS GRUBERT MARLON MARION MOHLER WoopFIN OGG JuLtaA RopEN MARY STIENSPRING EpitH SUDDARTH Sur TENCH AGNES TROXELL HAwSEY WEAVER Haro_tp WEAVER Epwarp WILSON Louise WINE PHYLIS WINTER MARGARET WITHROW REBECCA KENNEDY MariE BRAND SSVT) YOINN{ ee eal ian ee | | | | | Junior Class History N THE fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-three, sixty-seven boys and girls entered the freshman room. This was the largest freshman class that has ever been recorded at Wilson High. Everything was new to us, every task seemed larger and harder. In about three weeks after school opened we moved into the new building. Everyone liked this, as it gave us more room to do our work. Along with our work we had our fun. The freshman party was given in the gym, and the faculty was present to enjoy this with us. One spring day our Science teacher took the freshman class on a hike to Hump Back, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Through the whole year under these circumstances we con- quered, therefore we took our first step toward success. As Sophomores, with our ranks somewhat thinned, we entered Mr. Kimler’s room, and thinking that we were a much wiser body than we were the year before, we were into everything, and thus led our teachers and the freshmen a hard life. This was a very prosperous year for us. The boys and girls of our cless won the class championship in basketball. The winners and the faculty were given a ban- quet just before Christmas by the Domestic Science Class. The Christmas decora- tions were carried out at the table. Toward the end of the year we enjoyed a trip to Grottoes Caverns, and before the term closed we took another trip to Hump Back with as much pleasure as the one the year before. This ended our year as Sophomores, and as a stronger body we took another step toward success. In 1925-26 our class diminished. Some went to other schools and we lost track of others, while a few took a bolder step and were married. All these things caused our Junior Class to be smaller in number. As Juniors we have a lot of school spirit and always try to do our best. Our class for several months had the best attendance of any other room in high school, and when it came to exams we led the school again in the highest averege. Another thing for us to be proud of is that none of us have been kept in for being tardy since school opened. On March 22nd we entertained the Faculty and Seniors at a St. Patrick’s Party. The gym was beautifully decorated, games were enjoyed, and a delightful menu was served. : The big thing to which we are looking forward to now is the inter-society contest, and as some of us are Poes and some Laniers, there exists a friendly rivalry in our dear old class, but we feel nothing can break our loyalty to each other. As Seniors we hope to reach the top without the loss of a single classmate. —TLoutse Brower, Historian. eS 1 — WILLIE ANDES RosSABEL ARCHER WILLIAM ARMENTROUT CHARLES BABER GEORGE BAYLOR JAQUILINE BoLtTon JoHN BowMAN EVELYN COYNER MaArtTHA COYNER By doing well we excel Colors Rose and Gray Wenibers RUSSELL COINER FRED CooK MARION CLARK PEARL Cox ELIZABETH COYNER FILMORE COYNER NELLIE FITZERALD 3ERNICE JONES ERNEST KIRBY WILLIAM LAMB Rusy LOVEGROVE WILLIAM RUSSELL LESTER SMITH ANNA BELL STONE EpitH TERREL ETHEL WINE Martin WISELY PR a ST LY NN TT TT a SE Ee Officers PréeHdent rs.

Not only this, it is helping others to decide upon some line of work, giving all a broader and more general education. There is very little in an elementary course of typing and shorthand that is not of real benefit to everyone regardless of occu- pation. The course here is offering: Typewriting, which teaches concentration, punctuation and an enlarged vocabulary; Shorthand, which develops ones mem- ory, accuracy and mental alertness; Bookkeeping, which familiarizes one with the various business forms and their value; Business English tends to develop originality and initiative as well as the mechanics of letter writing; Penmanship, which is being demanded on all sides in spite of the typewriter; Commercial Arithmetic, which reviews the four fundamental operations of arithmetic and ac- quaints the pupil with the laws and customs of the business world. In general our Course has a twofold purpose, (1) to prepare the student to enter business directly on leaving high school, (2) to prepare the student to enter institutions of higher learning. Students have gone out with Commercial diplomas and are holding down positions in important business places, such as banks, and offices of manu- facturing concerns; others have gone on to higher learning broadening their edu- cation. Home Economics The course in home economics which consists of two years work, one in cooking and one in sewing, is intended to develop a girl into a contributing mem- ber of a family. In cooking, the first two or three weeks are devoted to canning. Balanced menus are studied next. The pupils prepare cereals, eggs, toast, fruits and beverages, then plan, cook, and serve a breakfast. The luncheon 1s studied and in connection with this soups, vegetables, salads, desserts, and left overs are prepared. We plan, cook and serve a formal and an informal luncheon. In the latter the pupils do the marketing and compute the cost of the dishes prepared. In connection with dinners, meats, hot breads, vegetables, salads, desserts, espec- ially cakes and frozen desserts, are studied. Some foods suitable for parties, picnics, teas, invalid trays, etc., are studied and prepared. In sewing the different stitches and seams are taught and their application in garment making. Under the underwear problem suitable materials and trim- mings are studied, and neatness and durability in sewing are emphasized. Darn- ing and patching and a practical application of these on the pupils’ own clothes is the next problem. Renovation and remodeling are studied and a silk or wool dress is made over. In the making of wash dresses, colors suitable to the differ- ent individuals are discussed. The commercial pattern and its alteration are es- pecially emphasized in connection with these dresses. The last problem is the making of a dress suitable for c ommencement. a eS CE ES 4 eS Athletics Since Wilson “Hi” came into existence three vears ago, athletics have been pronounced and have been carried on with great success. Football, baseball, girls and boys basketball and tennis teams have brought such praise that Wilson “H1” may be proud of; the way the boys and girls have worked in the “gym” and on the athletic field, faithfully trying to make a worthy name for their school. Athletics have promoted a great deal of school spirit since they have become so advanced in our school. The pupils have taken great interest in their school work and activities. They have up-held their school by regular attendance at the games and by enthusiastic cheering. Athletics help to develop the student both mentally and physically. They make him think quickly and accurately thus helping in his school work. May athletics be carried on in the future with such pronounced success as they have heretofore been carried on. Those who have been on the teams during the last three years need not be ashamed of the fame they brought to Wilson “Hi.” Football Due to scarcity of material the high school did not have a football team. The old players with two exceptions finished or quit school and left us without any material for a regular high school team. All the boys who participated in high school athletics were members of the local chaptér of Boy Scouts. Under the able direction of Scoutmaster Rusmiselle a fast but light team was developed which played in the high school uniforms but under the name Boy Scouts. Sev- eral good games were played. The team as a unit was quite light but made up for this in the general team work and speed. This article would not be complete if we should fail to mention the interest and faithful work of the coach, Mr. Guy Rusmiselle. He gave of his time and means that the boys might have a team as in the years past.

Mr. Hurley, the coach of the team, began to work in earnest that he might develop some new players. Presently he began to wear a smile as he saw the younger boys developing into real players. The boys themselves were also deter- mined that they would show the town and the school that though they were new and untried, they could play the game in a real way. The result shows that this was done. When the above conditions are taken into consideration, the team has made a wonderful record. Another pleasing fact is that all of the team are sched- uled to return to school next year and we hope to make some of our conquerors of this year realize what a defeat is when the season is under way next year. When Pannell left, the team met and elected Harold Weaver captain, and a real captain did he make. In practice Harold urged the team to overcome de- fects as they were pointed out. There has never been a wearer of the purple and gold who has shown more determination and fighting spirit than Harold. He played center, and though not tall, he took the tip off in most games. He was a high scorer in all games. Now you will be surprised when we say that Harold had never played the game before in his life. Next year it will take a fast step- ping center to get away from Harold. Ralph Hanger was one of our star players at forward. Ralph had played some as substitute last year but not much. He was doubtless the best shot on the team. He is particularly a good shot from the free throw line. When Ralph stepped up for a free throw all counted another point. He was a hard man to keep covered as he worked the entire floor. At dribbling he is a master and more than once he has been seen to dribble through the defense and place the leather in the basket. Dorsey Myers was our midget forward. If there is any one more active and quicker than Dorsey, we would like to see him on the floor. Some of the goals Dorsey made were most spectacular. He also is a good shot from the free throw line. Dorsey is doubtless the fastest member of the team. His team mates called him by the name of “monkey.” “Buck”? Crickenberger was one of our guards. Any one who got through “Buck”? deserved to make a shot. He is as close on guarding as the proverbial Dick’s Hat Band. It can be said of “Buck’’ that he at all times kept his temper and was never known to get angry. He quite often left his post and made a shot just to show that he could. We are glad “Buck” returns next year. “Sheik” Baylor was our other guard. “Buck” and “Sheik”? knew team work to perfection. They worked like rubber bands; when one started down the floor, the other almost automatically came back to cover the defense. George is a real fighter and a player with a splendid disposition. Another good player to return next year. Our regular substitutes did their part in making the team what it was. [ach afternoon they were there taking the brunt of the practice and fighting hard ax.

At times during the year the substitutes were used and all gave a good account of themselves. Richard Hollar did good work in several games at forward, having played several games in full. Russell Coiner filled in at guard in several games. Though this is Russell’s first year he played a good game and gives much promise for next year. William Armentrout played guard and some at forward. Though small, he plays a strong game. Hiserman filled in as substitute forward, and Lyle shows promise. Fitch and Harmon were the other substitutes and took part in a few games. The record of the team stands out as an honor to the school and all students are great in their praises of the fighting spirit of our boys team.

One of the outstanding games of the season was the victory over Staunton High. This was the best game ever played on the local court. The lead changed not less than eight times. This is the first time the-locals have won over Staun- ton High. In the game with Lane High of Charlottesville the local team was within three points of the lead at the first of the third period, but were not able to take the lead. Lane scored most of their points in the last period. Another game of great interest was the second game with Weyers Cave. The winner was in doubt until the last few seconds of play when Captain Weaver sunk a beaut iful shot, followed by a free toss by Myers. Then Hanger sank another beautiful goal. This meant defeat for W. C. H. S., and victory for Wilson. | PS SE a AES ETS ARE ST SE Se SI ed SAE SORIA EY SPR RE eC CCEA AB A NS ae Se Ts Fa ao arent ote era De wee Sees I 9 Ot ee perenne Girls Basketball GAIN it was the ambition of the wearers of the purple and gold to come down through the history of the sport world as cham- pions in the State of Virginia. It was the hope of every one who sees in the future days, not far removed, the State cup rest- ing proudly in the halls of old W. H. S. Three times this year have we tasted the bitter cup of defeat in our oven gym, twice to the fine teams from Bridgewater and Middlebrook, and to Pulaski on their court. Only six games have the Wilson girls lost in the three years. This is a record that is hard to beat and the basketball fans are justly proud of the winners of these games. Another year is added to the two which have made the Wilson “Hi” girls the talk of the State. As the years pass may they not only be the talk of the State but of the Country. Thanks to Coach Hurley and the people of the town the team has been able to go into State finals. Many games have been piayed this year. Three games have been lost but not without a great fight on both sides. At the beginning of the year we had class basketball. All members of the regular squad could not participate. Every day at noon two classes played. Much spirit and enthusiasm was shown in these games and at times the roof was nearly raised by the rooting of the students. After all classes had played each other and had come down to the finals, the Freshman won. They had a fight from start to finish but succeeded in downing their opponents. There are thirteen girls who make up the regular, and three others who are mentioned. Five of the squad are Seniors and will go out from the school this year. There is Agnes Troxell, the best guard in the State. This is her first year on the regular six, and still she has one more year to play, as she is a Junior. Next is Edith Brownlee, another wonderful guard. She is skilled in the art of passing and by next year she will not be beat. This is her second year on the regular team and she still has one year to play. We are depending on you, Brownlee. Now we come to our marvelous center, Hawsie Weaver. As for height she made other centers look small, and for passing, it was the “stuff.” Hawsie is a Junior and will play with greater skill next year. Zora Lovegrove, the captain, played her first year as regular. She is a fast and well developed player and played the position as side center with credit. This is her last year as player, as she graduates this year. The school will miss you, Zora. When we speak of speed and action, look to the twins to win the prize. Lucy and Nellie Coyner are the best forward in the State. Their guards are so be- wildered that they just stand and watch them play. They are small but’ fast. The twins are Freshmen and we feel sorry for the opposing teams for the next three years. Louise Via has been on the squad for four years. She has scored many points for the purple and gold as forward. We are sorry to say the “Imp” has had her four years and must leave us this June. xe bh COINER,N, Grris’ BASKETBALL a s ah | Me ee ee rr ere ae « Scottie Witt is another member of the Senior class and will graduate in June. Scottie has played in many games for Wilson High. It was Scottie that turned back Harrisonburg in the State game this year. Frances Hunt has shown up well the last part of the year. Her guarding is excellent but she played her last game with Pulaski. She is a Senior and will finish school this year. Helen Wilson has been on the squad two years. She has played well as a “sub” but is a Senior and will leave this year. When it comes to side-centers, see Nancy Lee. Nancy has a good chance of making regular team next year. She is a Freshman and has three years in which to become a fine player. Frances Driver is another new player. This is her first year to play basket- ball but she has the ability to become a splendid center. Virginia King is an all-round player. She is a “sub” but can play any po- sition on the team very well. She is a Sophomore and has two years more to play. Louise Vines is another member of the squad and is also a Freshman. Louise has plenty of ability but had some little trouble with grades this year which she should not have next year. It would not be just if the names of Nancy Walters and Katherine Roane were not mentioned. Though not on the squad these two little Freshies were out for practice each afternoon.

The team has just started practice, and at this time is showing some good ' signs of developing into a fair team. The greatest defect is the lack of pitchers. There are one or two candidates for this position, and it is hoped that a good | pitcher will be developed before the season is far under way. It seems to be hard to get boys of the right size and in sufficient numbers to | report for baseball. Another great difficulty is the holding of those who are de- veloped into baseball players. Great numbers are attracted by the nearby prep schools, and as a result we lose all those who have developed to eny great extent. The schedule as given out by the University of Virginia places us on the dates ! listed. | April! o2e ac RU es eS Shee ae oe eee ae Bienes High at Charlottesville PADI 9 oe ee deh ae hi ce te ee te ee Shenandoah at Waynesboro | April 1G sachin ait onniced « Soaltsh , eee a ae ea te ae Lee High at Waynesboro April eZ sf de appa teehee beeen ed aaa Rt ee et, ee Harrisonburg at Harrisonburg ADT SO th: tein Ua areca ae ee ee ee Luray High at Luray May Ze oss och aebida cig Seah ey eine Nee eae ee ee Bridgewater at Bridgewater In view of the fact that practically all are new and untried, one can easily see what must be done in order to place a winning team in the field, yet with the two old men as a nucleus, Coach Hurley hopes to build up a worth-while team. We feel confident in depending largely on Captain Shuey for a successful season. He has played outfield for the past two years, but is being tried out for infield this season. The catching department will be taken care of by Myers, who doubtless will be used at second or short when not catching. Baylor will help him bear the brunt of the receiving. We have in the box, in addition to Clark, the old reliable, who did most of the pitching last year, Hanger, and Weaver. The latter may be used occasionally at shortstop or second, and Hanger will take his turn as first baseman. Hollar, who was a member of the Scout team of last year, is expected to de- velop into an infielder. Russell Coiner will be given a try in the outfield, and should be able to hold down one of the fields. The other men on the team who are showing up well are: Crickenberger, Kite, Gaw, Fielde1, and Hutchens. Cennis Tennis has always been the most popular minor sport at Wilson High, and the fall and spring months find the courts crowded with enthusiasts. This branch of sport has had a most successful history during its brief exist- ence here. The school was victorious in the county contest of 1923-24, entered the state contest and was not eliminated until the finals. Last year, because of the large enrollment of our school, we. were eliminated from the county contest and did not participate in the state meet at the University of Virginia. At the present no meets have been arranged, but the future promises that Wilson will send out a team worthy of its name. Plans are being made for an increase in the tennis facilities, and the next few years should witness an even greater display of interest. as re SS SS SS SSS SS SSS SS os SSS Troxel].

Honorary Wembers Muss Cooper Mrss Stinso Miss VIA €dgqar Allan Poe Literary Society Mews T WAS not until the school year of 1924-1925 that the Poe Society existed in the Wilson High School, with its great aim of giving to the boys and girls of the High School the valuable training and experience of being able, not only to speak without embarrassment and those discomfitures that go with public speaking, but to serve best, and to put into practical use their training as students. Somehow, it seems that the things that do us the most good are the things that are hardest for us to do. This is true of our literary work. It is very hard for one who is still in school to appreciate to its fullest value the training afforded by a society. Only those who have finished school and have put into more prac- tical use their training, can realize its inestimable value. We are proud of our society and glad for the spirit with which each member goes at his or her task with the intention of doing it well. Some excellent pro- grams have been given this year by the Poes at Christmas and on other occasions. We are glad for the spirit of devotedness which each member has for our society ; that spirit of loyalty, as shown and evidenced by the way in which the members of the Inter-Society Contest of last year were supported by the other members. Proudest are we to have won the Inter-Society Championship Cup last year by the brilliant debating of our team for Contest, Miss Lucy Taylor and Miss Edith Page, and we assure them that the Poe Society members truly feel their debt to them for bestowing such an honor upon our society, Our members, especially we who are Seniors, hope to graduate from the Wilson High School, leaving the Championship Cup still with the Poe Society. We admit there is a great battle to be fought to win the victory, which in- cludes winners of Prepared Debate, Extemporaneous Debate, Essay, Declamation, and Public Speaking.

Mrs. Davies, Mrs. Alphin, and Miss Plumb, of the High School Faculty were chosen as advisors of this society, each one having in charge a number of special | programs. The society has functioned properly during the entire year, the students gen- erally taking their part of the program as a matter of duty and rendering it sat- isfactorily. A keen spirit of friendly rivalry exists between this society and their worthy opponents, the Poes. The programs have consisted of readings, declamations, music, recitations, and current events, with plenty of wit and humor. The Lanier Society stands for the same principles that Lanier, the great Southern poet after which it is named, stood; the great love for God, humanity and duty, and through the past year has lived up to these principles, having noth- ing on this page of its history that would shame so great and fine a character. The meetings, during the year have been public and a cordial invitation was extended to the patrons of the school and the citizens of Waynesboro to attend them at any time. On April second the doors of the Lanier Society closed against all visitors, as did those of the Poe Society. Each society is making a prepara- tion for selection of contestants who will compete in the Inter-Society Contest, held during the commencement week at the close of the term of 26. The departing members of the Lanier Society leave with it their best wishes and sincerely trust that it will always conduct itself according to the standard of its great leader, Sidney Lanier, and their interest’ shall ever be centered in its welfare. Be loyal, be honest, but win! tat Sy stk tt ti pa Ha nat aii SRARY SOCIETY Smney LANIER Litt re eee Social News HE social activities of the past year at Wilson “Hi” have not been equaled at any time in the history of the school. The aim from the first has been to make the social calendar of 1926 better and larger. Enthusiastic spirit has been shown by all. On December fourteenth the Seniors entertained the Faculty at a reception given in their honor. The school gymnasium was decorated throughout with the pastel shades of blue, green, lavendar, pink, and yellow. Curtains of pastel streamers were made for the windows. Streamers also hung from the lights. At one end of the gymnasium was an improvised fire- place, around which were arranged old-fashioned rag rugs, a spinning wheel, and chairs ; everyone was requested to wear Colonial dress. A prize was given to Mr. Porter McCray for having the best costume. After playing games for some time, refreshments were served with tiny bouquets for each one as favors. The Senior Class enjoyed the picture, “The Goose Hangs High,” after which they were entertained at the Shenandoah Inn with a Valentine party. Everyone was given féte hats and the tables were attractively decorated. Conundrums and puzzles suggestive of St. Valentine were given for everyone to work out. Re- freshments were afterwards served. The music furnished by Miss Via and Mrs. Etter was enjoyed by everyone. On March twenty-second the Juniors were observed to be moving around preparing for their annual entertainment of the Seniors. A St. Patrick’s party was given and the decorations were effectively carried out in St. Patrick’s and the Senior colors, green and white. As the Seniors entered the gymnasium, the girls were given small white aprons and the boys caps, on which were written numbers so that they might later find their partners. The Seniors started out by dancing, but this was soon stopped, and Irish games were played. Refreshments were served in the Domestic Science Room, where the lights had been put out and which was lighted only by candles, lending the place an eery light. During the year the athletic squads gave entertainment to many of the visiting teams, and the squads themselves were given banquets. On February twenty-third the Rotary Club extended an invitation to take dinner with them at the Shenandoah Inn. The tables were artistically arranged for the dinner given at one o’clock. Colonel Hudgins gave a short talk acknowl- edging the presence of the team. Miss Zora Lovegrove, in a few words, replied to his acknowledgment and thanked the Rotary Club for the attention they had shown to the basketball team during the year. wer ceatees + a ee A A ER PS RS lee en es FP cer ix SS eG EA Se ee {SOT A A LT St ee ee ee ST) QeWTS ES ae ce Che Path Across Che dill The play entitled “The Path Across the Hill” was given by the Science classes of Waynesboro High School on Tuesday night, December 22, 1925, under the direction of Mrs. Alphin and Mrs. Davies. This play was a splendid moral production and exceedingly well rendered by those participating. Ruth Conrad, played by Helen Garber, was especially fine. Ruth loves her old Grandaddykins, and is willing to give her life for his happiness. She has also the care of a trifling brother. Dr. Reed, Harold Weaver, is in love with Ruth and tries to persuade her to leave her dear ones behind and go with him to the city as his wife. This Ruth re- fuses to do. Grandaddykins, William Garber, is accused of a terrible crime, bank embez- zlement. His accuser, Robert Post, Porter McCray, is a splendid young man from New York, son of the man in whose bank Grandaddykins had been employed in former years. Grandma Davis, Evelyn Harner, feels very much in the way with a daughter- in-law, so decides if she and Grandaddykins could be married they could take care of each other, thereby relieving the younger ones. She learns of the accusation and pleads with Robert Post to forgive and for- get. Not to bring sorrow to the heart of Ruth, Post realizes he has learned to love Ruth, and finds the hill of prosecution too steep. He goes back to New York to forget Ruth and all concerned. Walter, Ruth’s brother, has gone to New York to try his fortune in the big city. He becomes implicated in bootlegging, and is locked up. Post hears of this, pays his fine, and takes him home. He finds Ruth the same dear, sweet girl, and declares his love for her. Dr. Reed falls in love with Flo Grey, played by Evelyn Ellis. Flo is a cousin of Ruth’s and comes to her home to make her a little visit. They, the doctor and Flo, are married, but live very unhappily. Lutie, Zora Lovegrove, a young country girl, is very much in love with Walter, and they are very happily reunited when Post brings Walter back to the city. Zuzu, Sue, Trench, and Salamander Alexander John Henry Jones, Woodfin Ogg, are two domestics, and keep the audience laughing the entire time with their pranks and fun. Grandaddykins finally, by producing a letter from Ruth’s father admitting the crime, proves his innocence. Ruth is never told of the shame of her father’s crime. She marries Post, and happiness abounds for all. Dramatics at Che End of Che Rainbow The Senior Class play which was given at the Star Theatre March 8, 1926, under the directions of Miss Watts and Miss Smith was, in the opinion of many present the best amateur play ever given in Waynesboro. The play was a college comedy brim full of pep, college spirit, and romance—interspersed with music and song. The main cast of eighteen was splendidly supported by ten or twelve Theta Phi girls and Kappa Beta Sigma boys, whose songs and fancy costumes gave color and atmosphere to the well sustained plot of the story. Among the many charm- ing and interesting scenes of the play we shall remember the following: The opening scene with Robert and Marion, whose lines gave a clew to the characters and to the importance of certain papers, securely locked in Robert’s safe; when Phyllis and Ted plan to get the new man for the varsity team; how the bride and groom assisted in the maid and butler proposition; how the scheming Mrs. Brown and Miss Grayson with Jack, the secretary, almost win the day for themselves; then how the maid with a “taste for literature,’ and Emily, “with a conscience,” carried the plans through. Finally affairs become so complicated at Marion’s mask ball and at the football game, and it is left to Robert and the “Imp,” a guardian angel too, to solve the mysteries and straighten out the tangled affairs and help the lovers find happiness and sunshine “at the end of the rainbow.” Characters Robert br reston—-Av Ia wy ef aoc 38 ie cee re ee Porter McCray Douglas; Brown—3A.

SS ts i ns ALENDAR September 12—On this day the doors of Wilson High were thrown open to receive all, who thirsty for knowledge, wished to enter her doors. 13—The grading of pupils begins. Every one flocked to the office. 14— Notice—“No loafing in office except on business.’”’ D. Derliiiey: 15—All the students of the different classes assembled on this day for the purpose of electing officers. 17—Dr. B. B. Smith addressed the student body on this day. Dr. Smith is much beloved by all the pupils. Sev- eral ‘‘Freshies” complain of having to stand while eating. They carry cush- ions to sit on today. 25—This day was a Waterloo for the Juniors. The Senior Girl’s Sextette de- feated the Juniors. Of course we believe this to naturally be due to Seniors superiority in every way. 29—The very dignified Senior Class was organized this day. All knew before hand who would be their president—Porter McCray—a popular and most fitted person to guide this class through it’s most hectic year. Mctober 12—The Seniors were much excited. They were trying to decide on the momen- tous problem of invitations for graduation. 13—Kathleen Kinzel, a village queen of the city of Abingdon entered the ranks of the Senior’s in-our thriving metropolis. 15—The annual staff was organized with Porter as Editor and as any one would suppose, who could better be business manager than Lucy Taylor? 16—The renowned basketball team of ’26 was organized on this day with Zora Lovegrove as captain. 21—The Seniors were informed that they should revise Dr. Metcalf’s American Literature and have a copy in by March Ist. sQobember 11—This being Armistice Day the American Legion gave an appropriate program at the Star Theatre to which the High School was invited. The students marched in a body to the Theatre, making a very grand looking procession. Two had the privilege of riding in a pony cart, to the envy of all others. 13—Another memorable day for the Seniors. On this date the rings of distinction were ordered. Though the ring agent seemed to get more attention, partic- ularly from the girls, than did the rings. The Poe and Lanier Societies were reorganized on this day also, with very efficient officers. 17—Mr. Rudisell, evangelist at one of the local churches talked to the student body and gave us some rather humorous information about “dear little Dwight.” 25—Some of the Senior Class attended a lecture on “America of Today,” by Dr. Henry Louis Smith. 29—Did the students give thanks on Thanksgiving Day? Did we? When we do have holiday, which is seldom, we don’t know how to act. December 3—The cheer leaders made a final effort to get the cheering squadron in shape for the coming games. 4—The girl’s basketball team of Stuart Hall met the Wilson “Hi” girls at our home court on the night of this date. “Our girls” came out victorious. The score was 47-13. 9—Rooters Club. 11—Several students were called on in “chapel” to give talks on “school spirit.” Although this was their first appearance as public speakers they took the audience by storm. Wilson “Hi” played Southern Seminary, defeating them by the score 37-13. 14—The Seniors gave a Colonial party in honor of the faculty. Everyone came in Colonial dress. With the “gym” looking it’s best, as a back ground, it made a pretty picture. 18—A play “The Path Across the Hill’ was given by the Science classes and was very successful, although “the path” was nearly covered with snow. 22—The girls’ basketball team met the Alumni squad on this date. Our team won by the score 26-10. 23—Out for Christmas holidays! Several were badly trampled in the mad rush for the doors.

The girl’s basketball team of Wilson met the Harrisonburg team on this date, defeating them by the score 32-27. 29—Wilson High Girls’ team defeat Bridgewater Girls, the score 21-13. February 2—Second Semester begins. 5—Lane “Hi” Girls’ defeated by Wilsonites 20-12. 8—The Seniors were delightfully entertained by the Faculty. This occasion is one the Seniors will long remember. Seniors given notice to have essays in by May 1. Did they really believe it would be an easy task? 22—Great was the excitement on this day. Votes were cast for the students who were to pose in the Hall of Fame. 23—The Rotary Club gave a luncheon in honor of the Girls’ basketball team. MWarch 8—The Senior play “At the End of the Rainbow” was presented. We wonder if the pot of gold was found! 22—The Juniors entertained the Seniors at a St. Patrick’s Party. 29—Mr. Farland, who is famous internationally as a banjoist, entertained the student body with several musical selections. April 4-6—Supposed Easter holiday. 6—A number of Seniors and Juniors took one day off and got five. “How?” Well—ask someone else. (ET a ER oe RO 1S Oe on me SA ES REY on = Prof. 4. C.
