You have sought to guide and teach us, and we owe you much for your earnest efforts. You have been understanding when we came to you for advice; always you were the friend and the teacher, never just the reservoir of knowledge. You have been the ultimate end—the rounded finish to a joyful season. We shall never recall to mind ‘“‘our” Wilson Hi, that you will not be linked inseparably with it. MR JOHNS VEBENTRESS MISS ELEANOR. A. THOMAS i EP OVRE, VW Gal good-bye to an old order. We truly hope that this ak. editors of the 1937 WILSoNIAN are really bidding annual will be the “biggest and best.” It is the last WILSONIAN. It must be representative of not only our class, but our school; not only our progress, but also the school’s progress. For indeed it has grown. Next year our faculty will be housed in a new school, and a new order will have begun. Those who have worked so untiring for education and progress will at last know the joy of attainment. That is how we shall feel at our graduation—our attainment. If we can only show you the panorama of our progress in this volume, we shall have achieved our ends!

JENNINGS Truly in many ways this has been a year of progress in the Waynesboro Public Schools. There has been much growth in a material way. All of the buildings have been painted both inside and out and the furniture in the classrooms has been cleaned and shellaced. All of this has been done with the cooperation of the W. P. A. and at a very small cost to the local community. Be- sides the improvement in appear- ance, this has improved the sanitary conditions in the building and made them more cheerful for children to work and live. For a number of years the en- rollment has increased rather rapid- ly and this year’s enrollment is the largest in the history of the school system. This increase in enrollment has been quite marked in the high school, growing from 170 to 330 in the past nine years, and causing a very congested condition at present. Fortunately, we were able to secure a grant from the P. W. A. and a large, fireproof high school building is now under construction. This will be the finest school build- ing of the state and will represent the peak of progress from a material stand- point. In keeping with this material growth the teaching personnel has increased in number, qualifications, and esprit de corps, thus bringing about a higher type of instruction and greater advantages for the children. ; A number of stimulating “and progressive studies are being made in the schools this year. In the elementary schools a comprehensive testing program is in progress. The high school was one of three public schools in Virginia chosen to participate in a tryout program of Secondary School Standards. These studies are stimulat- ing to both the teacher’s and the pupil's s growth. Physical education for girls is Bene offered in the high school for the first time this year. There has been marked growth in negro education for several years Gti eaciare in a four-year accredited high school this year offering vocational courses for both boys and girls. Along with this progress in the public schools there has developed a stronger and finer community interest in and attitude towards education. The administration ap- preciates this cooperation, and with its continuance, pre- dicts future progress in the Waynesboro Schools. Proressor. R. C. JENNINGS Mtss CoyNner, Secretary ELEANOR A.

Gone But Not Forgotten—History 1920. That’s when we Seniors first saw the world. How disappointed we were. None of us had a hair on our head, or a tooth in our mouth. We were so embarrassed that we blushed—not only in the face, but all over. But that didn’t last long. When we found out that we were destined to be Seniors, we at once assumed a bearing that befitted the dignity of the position. At six we entered grade school and for seven years we tackled text books on subjects ranging anywhere from civics on down to spelling. Unexperienced, we thought that studying was the only way to ever be a Senior. So from the first grade through the seventh we pored into our text books—and passed. Approximately half of us were Jackson pupils, and the remaining were from Wenonah. That was one day we felt as though we had already achieved Seniority. Commencement exercises were almost an exact replica of gradua- tion exercises. There were songs, declamations, speeches, and diplomas. Then came the surprise of our life. We were wrong! Studying wasn’t necessary in order to become a Senior! We found this out when we entered high school. For the first two weeks, with no studying and confinement to our desk, the life of the freshmen wasn’t far from being the proverbial bed of roses. But suddenly we were confronted with surprise number two. The freshmen weren't the privileged characters, but rather the upper classmen, and for a few days, we went around warmed by personal contact with leather that encircled their body—that is, we boys. The town was shocked in general by the-appearance of the freshmen girls who sallied forth with their dresses wrong side out. For the rest of the year the whole freshmen class taken indi- vidually, or collectively gives credit to the teachers and the teachers only, for their advance- ment and for their promotion into the sophomore group. For two years we enjoyed the privileges of upper classmen, without ever having tasted of the divine delight of being called Seniors. We are Seniors now and are employing all of our rights as you may suspect. There are approximately fifty Seniors in our class. Those fifty are practically representing the school and most activities. To show this, we point only to the facts that the majority of leaders in both Hi-Y Clubs, the Student Council, Dramatic Club, Speaking and Debating Club, Publica- tion Staff, Basketball, Baseball, Football, and Choral Club are Seniors. We are proud because our Senior class is putting out the largest annual Wilson has ever known, in spite of the fact that we will be the last to graduate from Wilson's residence. Our activities for the year have included the Senior play, given in November, the annual, Junior and Senior party, and finally the crowning achievement of Commencement and Gradu- ation. In addition to this, we have left a fund to the class of ’38, as a starter for the 38 annual. So far this has been history. Any more would be prophecy. To make a complete biography would be to tell of college days, working days, or marriages, and achievements. These things will come in our lives, and as a second dedication we will forever be thankful to Wilson in general, but to the faculty in pawticular, for having so molded onr character, that these things may be goals rather than our obstacles.

President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer Pat FLoyp Louis HILDEBRAND CLARENCE KITE Junior Class History —Time Staggers On The present Junior Class came into being in the fall of 1934. We were much the same group you will find at the beginning of each school year. As all freshmen are, we were very optimistic, cocky and inclined to believe we could lick the world. Yet there was a subtle air of fear—fear of the upper classmen. As are all first year classes, we were divided into two literary clubs. Edna Maxey was elected president of the combined group. During the year we enjoyed many interesting group competitions. The officers of the class were selected in the late winter, with Pat Floyd as president. In the spring, most of us were advanced to the rank of sophomores and were all looking forward to fall when we could reap vengeance on the incoming freshmen. In the fall we were much disappointed—the “hazing” system had been abolished. This was a hard blow, but we survived. This being our second year we were given the privilege of joining the many organizations sponsored by the school. Taking immediate advantage of the “break,” we increased the club enrollments by leaps and bounds. Right after mid-term, we sponsored Sophomore Day and a chapel program giving im- personations of famous radio characters. Officers were elected at this time and Rachel Young was selected to head the class. The Junior Class of ’37, organized earlier than the previous classes. Elections were held and Pat Floyd was given the highest office in the class. After our first meeting, we lay dormant until after mid-term, when we realized that we needed money. Plans were made and with the aid of the Dramatic Club we sponsored the play, “Drums in My Heart.” The Junior-Senior party was held in early April.

Such supreme joy. For then we were freed from the yoke of “high class” tyranny. And we had made a name for our- selves. We are mighty—that claim lying in the fact that we make up about one- fourth of the entire school’s enrollment. Never let it be thought that we have over-exerted our deserved privileges to reign over those less fortunates, ah no! They have received only guidance from us. This year many of us have ventured out for the first time since our Freshmen days of preparation. In the sports line, the Sophomores are well represented. Many.of this year’s “crack” players have been gleaned from among us, football, boys’ and girls’ basketball, and all the rest. In the various public activities sponsored by the clubs, we have again been honored by the selection of Sophomores to fill roles in plays, notable, “An Arizona Cowboy.” The title roles were the Operetta “Pentinent Pirates” presented by the Choral Club were enacted by members of our class. It has been a satisfying year and we look to 1938 with eagerness, for we shall be “high classmen.” Sophmore Class IA, ELLEN ANDREWS CARRIE LEE BABER 3ERTHA BAKER EpMONTA BARRETT Jimmy Booker Ruspy Black PAULINE Brooks EpitH Brown WINNIE W.

Upon arriving in high school—in a very good state of humor—they soon find that they are the very scum of the earth, according to the upper classmen, Every Freshman’s main aim in life is to get to the top and then—show the other poor rats how to live a dog’s life. They always have to step back, put on their best manners, and wait until the upper classmen get through scrapping over it. Then nothing is left. The poor lower classman has to go through all sorts of initiation. If only the teachers would take a hint! These lower classmen are sworn to secrecy; the punishment being more hazing if they happen to blab. Oh! well, if they can possibly last two or three more years they will show those other poor freshmen- to-come what the first year high school student has to stand. Freshmen, by far, lead the hardest life in school.

This was probably the most outstanding game of the season. With seven letter men back on the team from the season of ’35, Coach Harry L. Grubbs had some fine material for a winning team. This year’s captain of the Little Giants was Darrin Coleman, the fighting guard, who proved to be a valuable player for his team. A. M. A. Reserves The first game of the season was with the A. M. A. Reserves. Off with a bad start, the Little Giants lost their first game to A. M. A. to the tune of 19 to 0. Although our boys fought a hard game, they just couldn’t get the breaks. Hot Springs _ The Little Giants met Hot Springs for their second game and again it proved to be a victory for the opponents by the score of 12 to 0. Midgets’ Football Team Couchusa a ae eda. ov...)

The Little Giants were able to overpower the visiting team by two touchdowns, ending the game by a score of 13 to 0. Lee High The Little Giants clashed with Lee High for the main game of the season, Wilson scoring the only touchdown of the game, which gave them the victory of 7 to 0.. Harrisonburg The Little Giants journeyed to Harrisonburg to meet with an entirely new experience. The experience was night football. The Little Giants lost to Harrisonburg by a score of 24 to 0. Fluvanna For the first time in the history of the two schools, Wilson met Fluvanna on the home field. The spectators saw on the field two evenly matched teams, but due to the fact that Wilson was unable to score its extra point, Fluvanna won by a 7 to 6 margin. Veo ab: This being the last game, Wilson’s line-up was shifted about, and because of this and strong offensive work of V. S. D. B., Wilson lost by a 33 to 13 score.

The Girls’ Basketball Team has had a very successful season during the year 1936-37. Only one game was lost, and even at that time the score was very close. The team started off its season with a bang, playing New Hope at New Hope, and winning the game with a score of 11-12. The deciding point was made by Virginia Mohler, who managed the field shot which won the game. The next three games were won by a larger margin. Beverley Manor was played in the Wilson gym, and the team scored a nine-point lead. The V. S. D. B. game took place on ihe Lee High court in Staunton, Wilson girls scored 49, V. S. D. B., 19. Following this came the game against the alumni, with the score 20-14. Then came the fatal game! The game with Beverley Manor played away from home. This was the only game lost by the girls during their entire season, the final score being twenty-three to twenty-five. Harrisonburg has always been considered Wilson’s worst enemy, as far as basketball's concerned, so it was with much joy that the girls won this game with the score 43-26. The Bridgewater game was an easy victory, the final score being 31-11. The second team was used during the greater part of this game. The second game with V. S. D. B., played on the Wilson court was a much more difficult game than the first one played with this team. The score was 30-20. It has been said that he Iu Pont game was the tightest and most interesting match of the season. Most of this team was made up of Wilson’s old star-players who have graduated. The resulting score was 26-27. The final game of the season was played in Harrisonburg against that team. The score was 18-13 in favor of our girls. After this last victory the Wilson Girls’ Team ended their season by attending a movie. The forwards’ record for this year’s playing is as follows: Mohler, high scorer, with a total of 228 points; McCartney, with a score of 56; Wilson, 47 points; McTheny, 45; Carter, 13; Campbell, 11, and Spilman, 4. ?

Over the holidays Wilson journeyed to Stuarts Draft for a game and was set back 16-13. The “Little Giants” again took the Fishersville quint into camp in a return game by the score of 32-13. Wilson went to New Hope next and came home with a 18-6 win. The boys played a sterling defensive game and were well rewarded for their efforts. The Beverley Manor team was met here and was smothered by the score of 31-18. Wilson journyed to Staunton and won over V. S. D. B. inva loosely played game, 17-12. The “Fighting Leemen” were met here and the Little Giants came out behind by two points. The final score was 23-21. The Du Pont five was defeated here. Despite the superior height of the factory five, the Wilson cagers won, 28-25. Wilson then encountered the Lexington quintet on the home court and won easily 30-15. Due to the inability of four regulars to play, Wilson lost at Beverley Manor. The score was 24-12 and started the Wilson five on a seven-game losing streak. A classy Harrisonburg outfit won over Wilson in a hard-fought battle. The score was 32-25. The Little Giants lost a heartbreaker at Lexington, The Wilson quint being on the short end of 19-18 score. Next Wilson went to Bridgewater and lost 24-15. The boys were definitely off form and were unable to hit the hoops even when the opportunity presented itself. The Little Giants entered the Tri-County Tournament and were eliminatd by a sharp- shooting Middlebrook five by the score of 24-17. In a return game at Lee, the Wilson cagers showed a complete reversal of form, but lost a heartbreaker. When the final whistle blew the score was 30-29 in favor of Lee. The Little Giants made up for the past losing streak by trouncing the J. V.’s of Fishburne to the tune of 51-11. The Harrisonburg “Blue Streaks” were met on their home court for the final game of the season, but the Wilson boys were swamped by the Class B champions of the State. The final score was 30-10. The season ended with the Little Giants successful in eight out of the eighteen games played. However, the total points were in favor of Wilson cagers, the totals being 416 for Wilson to 365 for their opponents. Total points for the players were as follows: McCrea 133, Barbour 103, Gilmore 53, Hughes 34, Reid 27, Hutchens 24, Booker 23, McFall 9, Coyner 5, Moyer 2, Leonard 2, and Golladay 1. —— Boys’ Basketball Team 5 SIS EE OR RS OPE COOCHIAM. 5.5 icc wane Ae ee ee ee ee MAAR th.

Mover William Barbour, James Booker, Warren Ellis, Lyle Ferguson, Milton Gardner, Ralph Golladay, Louis Hildebrand, Harry Hughes, Leo Hutchens, F. K. Koiner, James Leonard, George Matthews, TomMcCrea, James McFall, D. H. Wright Moyer, Captain—This is Buck’s second year on the team. He holds down the “hot corner.” His hitting average for ’36 was .377. V. A. led in triples with four to his credit. He played every game at third base and has never been hitless in a game. McCrea—Tommy led the team in hits in 36 and had a hefty .400 batting average. He hit five home runs to lead in that department. Yankee held down the short stop position for the most part of last season. He also held down the “keystone sack.” GARDNER—Pete is the fastest man on the team, which makes him an ideal guardian of the “center pasture.” He had a .344 batting average for ’36 and led the team in stolen bases. This will be Pete’s third year on the team. Kirsy—Ed was used as a pitcher and also as an infielder last year, which was his first on the team. He had an average of .298 for his hitting in ’36. Lronarp—1937 will be Jim’s third year on the team. He hit .435 in ’36. Jim is our utility man. He can take his turn on the mound, in the inner garden, or in the outfield as well as his position behind the platter. McFatt—Mac holds down the right garden on the team. He hit .298 last year. “Skinny” is a flashy fielder and is a good bunter. Barpour—Bill is the tallest man on the team. His height makes him better qualified for the “initial sack” than any other position on the team. He hit the pill for a .304 clip in 736. HuGues—Harry supported a batting average of .363 last year. He was used as a pitcher and in the outer garden in ’36. He is a fast runner and his “submarine ball” fooled many a batter last year. HutcHENs—Bill’s position is behind the plate. Although he only hit .162 last year, his steadiness as catcher made up for his deficiency in batting. Some of our new aspirants this year are Mimmy Booker, a southpaw chunker of whom great things are expected, Ralph Golladay, F. K. Koiner, George Mathews, Lyle Ferguson, Warren Ellis, Louis Hildebrand, and D. H. Wright. Last year the team won four games and lost six. However, last year’s team was inex- perienced. This year, with practically all the old players back, a good baseball season is in view. Tennis Club Coach—Mr. CHARLES CHEW Sam Gilmore, George Meuller, James Myers, Carroll Pool, L. C. Reed Where there’s a will, there’s a way,” the motto of many an athletic team. It was this burning desire that has brought another state championship under the domi- nation of a Wilson team. This time it was tennis with Henry Barnett and L. C. Reid cap- turing the state crown for doubles by defeat- ing the defending champ from Suffolk in three hard-fought sets. “Pip” and Henry were the first entry ever made by Wilson in the state meet at Char- ‘lottesville, and we are proud of their fine showing and hope for similar success during the coming season. MoyeER McCrEA McGann CoLEMAN Captains of Major Sports CAPTAINS OF MAJOR SPORTS Each member of every team has as his one ambition to become captain of his team upon achieving seniority. Above is shown the captains of football, girls’ basketball, boys’ basketball, and baseball, respectively. Each of these was elected by his team because the team was willing to follow his leadership, because of his capability in assisting management and because of his scholastic standings. DARRIN COLEMAN The football squad was led to victory over our greatest rival under the captaincy of Darrin, for the first time in many years. The fact that Darrin has always shared the work of the team and has shown such a splendid spirit of cooperation himself, all tend to show why he was elected. EVELYN McGANN Evelyn was as splendid a jump center as she was a captain. Under her superb guidance the team triumphed over all opposition excepting one. Her popularity is so great that it can’t be over-rated by the team. Strong, forcible, yet retentive, she is a shining example to all other aspiring basketball players. TOMMY McCREA—Swell! This is the only thing that can be said that really describes his constant, consistent, per- sistent efforts in endeavoring to lead his team into the channels of victory. Vira MOYER V. A. was the baseball team’s best bet in selecting a captain. He also serves in the capacity as third baseman. For really pushing the pill around the field, and for his peculiar knack of running across home plate in the ninth inning, when the score was 3-3, V. A. takes the grand stand. V. A., like the other three, is the essence of popularity and leadership.
