We the annual staff of the 1947-48 “Hornet's Nest” think it fitting that this institution, Wilson Memorial High School, once used as a hospital to heal the wounds of soldiers which were in- flicted on battlefields of horror and hate, should be wholly dedicated to the education of young men and women so that they might learn to live together in an unselfish cooperative manner set- ting an example for the rest of the world.

Yep, we were in that great department called high school. In the fall of 1944 we began our fresh- man year in four different schools; seventy-seven of us at Stuarts Draft, fifty-two at New Hope, thirty-six at Fishersville and ninety-two at Beverley Manor. We struggled through those Freshman and Sophomore years dodging all the knocks we could and dragging along all we couldn't pours One round higher—‘Oh boy, we’re Juniors!” Like other Junior classes we gave our class play and threw a party for Senior class. Let’s see, before long these seniors would leave and next year we’d be the Seniors. Now we’re getting some place. What did you say? Yes, right here it is on the front page (big stuff) of the paper! Fishersville, Beverley Manor, Stuarts Draft and New Hope high schools will be combined into one big consolidated high school at the Woodrow Wilson General Hospital. Good heavens, what will that be like Maybe I should stop school. Can’t do that ’cause I’m not old enough, don’t suppose I’d do that anyway -——| have to get an education someplace. September fairly flew around and it was time for that new adventure. Let me see, that letter [ got the day said for Seniors to come on Thursday, September llth, 1947 so | must hurry and catch the bus. They took us to the old school where everyone was excited as I. We scrambled on the buses and were off for Wilson Memorial vey Look at that sign by the gate “For Sale’—heavens! you don’t suppose they’d sell us? The bus parked across from a sign which said “Officers Club,” but the man said, “come on in.” We did. Someone must have come the wrong day, | don’t see how all of us could be in one class. We surely have a nice looking faculty, maybe this won't be so bad after all. Mr. McChesney told us how the senior sponsors had drawn our names to determine our home room and after a roll of each home room had been read we were divided according to schools to register. Then came the big part, a tour of the school,—such (one halls. I'll have rheumatism in two weeks! For the first week or two each school ganged together, but before October was far gone we felt perfectly at home and hardly knew what our previous school had been. Today our Senior class numbers one hundred and sixty-seven. All of us are proud to be a member of the first graduating class of Wilson Memorial High, Carl K.

Mr. Mc- Chesney was in charge of the gathering, talking briefly about the school and ask- ing for the cooperation of all members. Members of the faculty were introduced and Mrs. Shomo told us about the lunch room. We were then given a chance to werk on our individual schedules for the year. Several members of the teach- ing staff helped us with this. Then we were taken on a tour of the school. We returned to the Social Center and with the remainder of te class went to the lunch room for our first meal at Wilson. Our school day ended at two o’clock and we scampered off to our homes to tell of our exciting day. Our second group meeting was held in November when Mr. Healey, a mem- ber of the Staunton Rotary Club, was the speaker. On December 12th, the Juniors met to elect their class officers and as you can see by the selection we have made that we have good student leadership along with the fine faculty advisors.

Sophomore Class Officers Upon our registration on September 15th, approximately two hundred and ninety of us became the first sophomore class of Wilson Memorial High School. Soon the members of each of our nine home rooms elected officers and be- gan to hold meetings three activity periods of each month, Committees to plan for our social activities and assemblies were elected from our faculty sponsors and each home room. Our first joint undertaking was a party on November 22. In keeping with the season, we decorated the Social Center with pumpkins and pictures of tur- keys.’ Over a hundred sophomores participated whole-heartedly in group games, stunts, dancing, and making away with the refreshments. A guest speaker from the Staunton Rotary Club brought a worthwhile mes- sage to our first assembly. At the second assembly we elected the class officers to lead us through the year. Our third assembly, a talent show, sponsored by the home rooms of Miss Cline and Miss Phillips, provided a half hour of hilarious entertainment. Each home room entered contestants who were judged by a com- mittee of teachers. Other assembly programs for the year were a movie, a dramatization, and group singing. We are glad that many members of our class took an active part in school sports. During this year we have made many new friends and enjoyed opportunities before unknown to us. We’re proud to go on record as the first sophomore class of Wilson Memorial.

Freshman Class Officers Seven years ago we started to school but we couldn’t get settled down. When we finally realized that our life of education was ahead of us, we had almost finished grade school. But all we could think of, in the seventh grade, was high school. Being allowed to choose most of our subjects, changing classes, meeting new people, parties oh, just to be in high school! Then came summer and all its fun. In September, we each received a letter from Principal, R. A. McChesney at Wilson Memorial High School telling us to be at school September 16th. It didn’t seem possible, all those 325 freshmen in one class! We'll admit we were a bunch of greenhorns at our new school but even the seniors were at a loss to find their way around. In almost every activity the Freshmen class plays an important part. We enter into football, basketball, tennis and all the sports in which our school par- ticipates. We also have parties so that we can become better acquainted. There are nine freshmen homerooms, so we occupy a large part of Wilson Memorial. We are glad to have our class organized with capable officers and understanding faculty advisers. It is a great challenge for us to graduate from Wilson Memorial High School for we shall be the first students to go through four years of high school here.

MILDRED SUBLETTE Faculty Sponsor The annual staff was difficult to organize because we did not know each other very well at the beginning of the year. The first step in the organization was to select homeroom representatives to discuss possibilities and prices of an annual. After this report, the decision was made to have an annual and the cooperation of the faculty and student body ras enlisted. This committtee with the aid of faculty members selected the first staff to edit “THe Hornet’s Nesv” the name selected, with the help of the entire student body. The staff is organized with seniors holding the editors positions, the first assistants a junior, and the other assistants coming from the two lower classes. This plan, we thought, would give training to all interested students and make the work easier in the years to follow. What a lot of work we have put in on this book. Do you remember the days we went ‘to solicit ads—didn’t we have fun? Remember the headaches we got from collecting pictures and money; how proud we were of our cover design when it came ‘and how our fingers cramped from typing? We feel it has been worth all the trouble and hope you will too. It has been no easy task to prepare an annual of this size but we have en- joyed it and expect to enjoy it in years to come. We owe our success to the cooperation of the staff members and the student body and to the faithful guidance and interest of Mrs. Mildred Sublette, our sponsor. President, Louise Kindig; Vice President, Betty Hiner; Vice President, Ronald Harlow; Secretary; Doris Powers; Treasurer, Richard Clatterbaugh; Reporter, Jimmy Livick; Advisrs, Mr. McChesney, Mr. Swartz, Mrs. Hering. Student Council The Student Council of Wilson Memorial High School was organized under a great handicap—pupils from our four former high schools were not familiar with each other. To overcome this handicap, we worked together for several weeks before electing officers, and then tried to distribute equally the officers among our four communities. Our Student Council is made up of a representative from each home-room throughout our school and each club is represented also. Our Student Council sent six delegates to Fredricksburg to a state conven tion held in November. These delegates brought back helpful reports made by speakers and discussion leaders as to how our S. C. A. could function to a better advantage. | The main purpose of the Student Council is to represent the student body, and carry out the wishes of our fellow students in a democratic manner. For example, we cchose our school colors and symbol by having each member work through his home-room, thus everyone is a vital part. We realize that our duties could be better fulfilled but we sincerely hope that we are laying a foundation for a school of which everyone will be proud. Activity Band We, the pupils of Wilson Memorial High School, are glad to have the chance to tell you of our Activity Band. The Activity Band numbering about 65 in personnel is open to anyone in high school who can play any kind of a band instrument. The Activity Band class meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:10 to 9:50 each week in the band room. We enjoy this chance to play and wish it were longer. We also are welcoming to our Activity Band the beginners who have just learned to play this year. The Activity Band not only holds class inside the band room but we plan to parade outside on the grounds when the weather permits. We are also hold- ing several concerts sometime during the year. Under the leadership of our capable director, Captain James Farrow, we are rapidly developing a good band. We hope that Capt. Farrow will be back with us next year as he has been a real director and a splendid inspiration to all of us. Beta Club The Beta Club of Wilson Memorial High School was organized by the for- mer members of the Beta Clubs at Stuarts Draft, New Hope and Fishersville with Mrs. Theresa Lutz and Mr. Harold A. Partlow as sponsors. The following officers were elected by the members: President, Curtis Conner; Vice President, Betty Hiner; Secretary, Mary Wilson; Treasurer, Henry Wingfield. Membership is determined by high scholarship, good character, creditable achievement and commendable attitude. The purpose of the Beta Club is this high school is to develop a high type honorary scholastic organization which will lead to the improvement of all other organizations in the school. It leads to the development of the highest type of leadership, above average scholastic standards, unquestionable character, outstanding personality, cooperative attitude, and initiative. It functions for the improvements of the student body as a whole, to promote character, stimulate achievement and reward merit. It also en- courages students to continue education beyond high school by giving aid in the financing of the college education of former Betas after high school graduation. The Distributor’s Club The Distributors’ Club was organized in the fall by members of the merchand- ising class. The purpose of this club, in co-ordination with the class, is to bring together in various activities, students who are interested in learning about retailing. The class elected the following officers: President, Davie Lee Bocock; Vice President, Doris Roadcap; Secretary and Treasurer, Lorraine Gilbert ; Sergeant- at-Arms, Hansford Greaver; Reporter, Jimmy Livick. The Distributors’ Club is affiliated with both the State and National organi- zation. One delegate from each local club is sent to the State Convention and Delegates at the state convention choose lucky members to represent them at the National Convention. ibeseepreiub Wecnesday is here again and we sce some twenty-five boys and girls hurry- ing over to the gym. They are the Pep Club members going to find out from Mrs. McCrary whether they practice cheers, make posters for future games or clean up after the one just played. School spirit is a big aim of ours. I know we all look like dead pans at times but catch us at the right place and you couldn't find any one group with more determination to work like “Crazy” for those things in which we believe. Take Betty Lou Harner for example: She is the reporter of this club. Why they made her reporter I don’t know,—she does a much better job of using her voice to yell at football and basketball games than at writing. Now there’s Joan Mackey; she never fails to say what she thinks and some- times it is a “Brainstorm,” but Joan has to be in the right mocd to put those ideas on paper. There is another person we want to mention. One who is quiet at times but very essential,—Ellouise Goheen. This is the girl who started cur poster work for us and can make five to my one. No one is ever going to say we “lack what it takes” cause we’re proud io say ‘we've got the pep”! So stick with us gang and we'll put Wilson on the map in big green letters. acmmers, oor th CHEERLEADERS Betty Robert, Betty Sheffer, Joan Mackey, Beckey Spitzer, Tish Viel, Betty Lou Harner, Jo Anne Kiracofe and Patsy Wampler Glee Club The Glee Club, under the direction of Captain J. S. Farrow, 1s composed of approximately one hundred twenty-five members, both boys and girls from all four classes. We have one hour of practice weekly meeting cach Tuesday and Thursday during activities.period. The songs we hope to master are: “Mighty Lak’ A Rose” by Ethelbert Nevin and “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” by Jahann Sebastian Bach. Our main objective this year is to give a spring concert for the pleasure of all. Everyone looks forward to this presentation with high hopes and enthus- iasm. Glee Club Twice a week during activities period if you would go to room A 705, you would see Miss Phillips swinging her arms trying to get her Glee Club to sing the songs the way she wanted them sung. Under her directions ,the group, con- sisting of 25 boys and 125 girls, works very hard with one, two and three part songs. Among our favorite selecticns of the year are “The Gypsy Trail,” by Kipl- ing, arranged by James C. Warhurst and “Go Down Moses,” which is a Negro spiritual. We worked up a Christmas program and gave several other numbers for the public. We are fortunate in having Mr. Jesse Ridgeway, a co-director, to help Miss Phillips. Thanks to both of these fine directors for making our Glee Club a suc- cess and an enjoyable part of our schcol year. Safety Club The Safety Club, sponsored by Mr. C. H. Batson meets every Tuesday morning. The officers are: President—Bill Humphries; Vice-President—David Bocock ; Secretary-Treasurer—Charlene Diehl and Reporter—Louise Quick. Problems concerning safety hazards are discussed at our meeting and then disposed of by proper authorities. We have posted patrols at the Social Center, boiler house, and at the “Y” in the afternoons. We also have boys to direct traffic at ball games. Through the efforts of our club, the door at the upper end of corridor “B” has been opened for passage to corridors “A” and “C.” We have tried to get all the bus drivers to join so that they might learn more about safety as we see its need here at our school. New members are voted into the club by a majority vote of old members. We are trying to get hand rails put up on the steps at the Social Center as one of our projects for the year. Future Teachers of America MOTTO We strive with the power of our knowledge to learn, to teach and serve others. COLORS Purple and White FLOWER Dogwood The Future Teachers Club has approximately twenty-five members. Miss Herley Poole and Miss Virginia Ramsey are co-sponsors. One of the main projects of the year was the radio program which was presented over WTON on January twelfth. The program was given in order to make people understand more clearly the reasons why the teachers chose this pro- fession and why some high school students want teaching as a profession. One of the main points given was, “Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know. It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave. It is a werk to be done by kindness, by watching, by warning, by precept, and by praise, but above all, by example.” Teaching isn’t an easy profession. It’s takes patience and the desire to work with children. Teachers get enjoyment from their work, We think there would be great pleasure and satisfaction in seeing boys and girls grow mentally and physically. Some of the other projects worked on during the year were the formula- tion of a constitution, actual classroom experience and the study of the teacher training programs offered by various colleges in the state. We, the future teachers, have great pride in our club and hope we have started a club which will enable fellow students to become better teachers. Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club is composed of approximately fifty students. Our main officers are President, Mildred Hartman; Vice President, Rudy Wine; Secretary, Betty Sheffer; and Treasurer, Doris Powers. The club is divided into two groups, one interested in just acting under the leadership of Miss Jones and Mr. Lutz, and the other group interested in settings, costuming etc. under Mr. Forbes. The acting group has been working on radio skits and monologues. In the future they plan to order make-up kits and practice making up characters. They also plan, if possible, to give a play or plays. The staging group las been working on puppets, miniature stages and minia- SINS s ] § 8 ture furniture. They plan to give a puppet play and sometime in the future to invite someone to talk to them about puppet plays. We have been making progress and have found much talent both in acting and also in staging and costuming. In years to come we should have an out- standing dramatic club. eis @lub The Future Homemakers of America Chapter was organized at Wilson for the session of 1947-48 with 146 members. President, Nell Cline; Vice President, Louise Kindig ; Secretary, 3etty Hiner; Treasurer, Anna Swortzel; Reporter, Martha Cox. Membership in the F. H. A. is entirely voluntary. Pupils enrolled in home economics and those who have been so enrolled and are still in high school, constitute its active membership. The motto, “Toward New Horizons,” expresses the purpose of the organiza- tion—learning to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may be better tomorrow. Red and white, the distinguishing colors of the I’. H. A., are symbolic of youth. The flower of the organization, a red rose, is symbolic of vibrant, glowing health—a necessary attribute for happiness and efficiency in home and group life. Some of the main chapter objectives are: 1. To have a regular meeting time and place each month. 2. To be affiliated with the state organization. 3. To have a formal installation service which is recommended by the state. +. To participate in state and county federation activities. 5. To encourage members to attend the camp at Smithfield, which is owned jointly with the F.F.A. boys, and to contribute to its upkeep. 6. To stimulate younger girls’ interest in Home Economics and to encourage older ones to study it as a career. 7. To make a contribution to some worthy organization during the year, 8. Tc observe National F. H. A. Week. 9. To have a well-planned program for each meeting and to have as many of the members take part as possible. 10. To have exhibits for the entire school to observe.

F, A. is an intra-curricular activity having its origin and root in a definite part of tne school curriculum—Vocational Agriculture. Among other things the 110 members of Wilson Memorial F.F.A. Chapter learn through active participation is how to conduct and take part in a public meeting; to speak in public; to buy and sell cooperatively; to solve their own problems; to finance themselves and to assume civic responsibility. The foundation upon which our organization is built includes leadership and character development, sportsman- ship, cooperation, service, thrift, scholarship, improved agriculture, organized recreation, citizenship and patriotism, The Science Club The Science and Chemistry Clubs, which meet cnce a week, have been organized under the supervision of Mrs. Thelma C. Heatwole and Miss Frances Cline as co-sponsors. The clubs have a total enrollment of about one hundred and twenty members, and have been affiliated with the national organization Science Clubs of America, and with the Virginia Junior Academy of Science. Officers of the Science Club were elected as Follew. - President, Elwood Tutwiler ; Vice-president, Lowell Miller; Secretary, Freida Corbett ; Treasurer, Dorothy Rowe; and Reporter, Elmer Back. The Chemistry Club Officers: President, Louise Kindig and Rebecca Spitzer Vice-Presidents, Hampton McCray and Quentin Klutz ; Secretaries, Doris Powers and Mildred Gibson; Treasurers, Lyle Kindig and Henry McCray; Reporters, IImer Back and Betty Roberts; Photographers, Russell Deitz and Jimmy Fitz- gerald. The club meetings are devoted chiefly to business and planned programs, which have included lectures and movies on such subjects as meteorology, the cutting of diamonds, photography, and the geology and history of the Santa Fe Trail. This year we have set for ourselves many goals, one of which is to build a greater science consciousness in the school and community. Another is to enter exhibits in the Regional Open House for Science Clubs. Delegates are to be sent to the meetings of the Virginia Junior Academy of Science. Individual projects being done include blue printing and the developing and printing of pictures in our new darkroom; collections of insects, seeds, woods and rocks for science hobbies; the location of planets and interesting constellations and the making of a pin point planetarium; a survey of the geological formations of the Shenandoah Valley; atomic structure diagrams; chemical tests and experi- ments for those preparing for nursing careers; the construction of a model house and finger printing. Field trips being planned for include a visit of the Chemistry Club to a chemical plant, a trip to a nearby cavern and a trip to an abservatory. The Club has conducted a photographic contest and intends to conduct an- other later in the year after more is learned about composition. As this is the first year that many of us have ever had such a club, and since we do not have all our equipment in one place, it is rather hard to get started, but in the years to come we hope to have some interesting and very useful clubs and projects. The Language Club The Language Club is made up of all students in the school who are enrolled DS in the Latin, French and Spanish classes. The three clubs have separate organiza- tions and meetings but their aims to stimulate interest in languages and to fur- ther prepare students for higher education are the same.

You see we must get plenty of exercise so as to build fine healthy bodies and strong minds as it has been said that a healthy body makes a strong mind and, therefore, it is our aim to build this body. Now to explain how. we go about getting this exercise, which our instructors see is carried out properly and to the best advantage. In warm weather we are hustled outdoors to take a ten-minute period of calisthenics and then the “tomboys” go off to one portion of the field and play soccer while those remaining engage in volleyball. During cold weather we use the gym every other day, the boys taking charge of it the other days, playing inside volleyball and basketball. The latter proves to be very popular with all of us and, having a large gym with eight basketball goals to be used, we are able to have three games going on at one time. Days that the boys use the gym we go over to the social center, lay mattresses on the floor, and begin to tumble. At times we go to our next period class with “kinks” in our necks or think we have a broken back but all around it is fun and something different for most of us. For all those who havn't learned to “cut a rug” and are interested they may go to the activities room and give it a try. In the spring when the weather is favorable we are looking forward to such oudoor activities as tennis, softball, and swimming. We wish to thank our instructors, Miss Lucy Coyner and Mrs. Jack McCrary, for keeping us on our toes at all times and making these classes very enjoyable. Boys’ Physical Education “GET IN YOUR SECTION”, These-are the words every boy in the physical education group hears each day. This year our physical education groups were divided into sections. Each period the boys were divided into four groups. These groups were named in one, two, three and four order. In the early fall and in the spring we go outdoors to play football, softball, volleyball, soccer, baseball and handball. In these sports our groups are divided into two sections and these sections compete against each other. Some days these games are matched, group against group. During the winter we play basketball, volleyball and for other enjoyment we have paralled and horizontal bars. Our groups in basketball are divided into five teams of five players who in turn, compete against each other. Every other day we take calisthenics and do tumbling in the Social Center. Mr. George McComb and Mr. Andy Nelson are our directors.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Hark! What's this? Beautiful bubbles appearing out of no-where! But wait! Is that A face I see? Yes! Yes, it is! It’s coming closer—it couldn't be—but it is! It’s Elmer Back and he informs me that he is now circulating manager of “Jhe Wilson Star”. silly Meeks always did like to buifd model airplanes as well as | remember, so he has a job now as a test pilot. And there is Jean Painter, the best mechanic in Texas. Jean Grove and Hampton McCray are teaching Physical Education at Wilson Memorial High School. ‘Their teams just finished winning state championship honors. ! Nancy Miller, Betty Viel, Martha Cox and Christine Cook have joined the list o! registered nurses. They still aren’t satisfied for they don’t get to nurse the right people, so they say. However, Naomi Sandridge has chosen the same profession and seems to be getting along nicely. Charlotte Hartman and Lenora Hoffman are teaching at Waynesboro High School. They are putting into practice the English they learned at Wilson. Am | seeing things in this bubble or is 1t really true—Ronald Harlow playing baseball with a professional league. Susan Cline and Dorothy Forrer are private nurses for the Vanderbilts. Mary Wilson is now playing at Carnegie Hall. This is her second appearance there. She seems to be going places. This proves Elizabeth Yonce is a secretary and Marian Borden is a bookkeeper in a large business firm and their employer is no one but Lowell Miller. Now I see Aileen Brooks teaching senior government at Wilson Memorial. A strong breeze is stirring now and the bubbles are moving faster, letting me get only a faint glimpse of the faces. The last one that went by had a group of faces and Elmer tells me that it is Jim Shuey, who is head instructor of the night classes in farming at Wilson and some of his students, Moffet Shiflet, French Croft, Bobby Wenger, Joseph Wood and Gene Spitler. This appears to be a nice looking farm and who is this coming on a tractor—Allen Wilson, Henry Moffett, noted New York lawyer, has just successfully defeated Billy Dull who was representing the construction Company owned by Curtis Conner. In the case, New York State vs. Conner Construction Company, Mr. Conner was sued for five million dollars damage because one of his buildings fell in down town Manhatten. The Cash brothers, Junior and Curtis, are the owners of two of the most prosperous farms in the valley. Joe O’Brien is now head of the Diesel Company in Pennsylvania. Mildred Hartman is making a fast secretary for Ray Howard’s Trucking Company. Marvin Campbell is now a commercial pilot and one of his old buddies, Bobby Pack, is finishing his nine year stretch in the navy as Captain of the U. S. S. Wilson. Russell Deitz and Joe Arbaugh are doing “bang-up” jobs as pilots. This isn’t surprising. Nell Cline is traveling around the world, writing her hit songs as she goes. I see the Dither’s Construction Company is doing better since Dagwood hired Margaret Ann Black as Secretary. “Millie” Gibson and Mable Wiseman are taking a trip to Death Valley in their own 58 Fleetline and were caught speeding. They were pulled in by state trooper, Elmer Cole. This bubble is dancing away so l|’d better catch it before is vanishes. Bobby Cupp is the best mechanical engineer in West Virginia. Alice Brown and Gladys Davis are now working in the office at Du Pont. There are two girls keeping books for the Cardboard Company. They must be Evelyn Berry and Betty Fretwell. Charles Baker is certainly on the ball. Yes! He reached his goal at last for he is now a professional ball player. Forest Arehart is teaching Mathematics at Mount Sidney and Jimmy Livick is keeping the books for his dad. ‘Jimmy says that they actually balance, too. I see in the art gallery of New York some beautiful pictures. They must be drawings by Margaret Swortzel. Who are these girls rushing around in white uniforms? They are nurses and to top it all they are three of our old school chums, Ruth Kelley, Inez Baber and Isabelle Davis. Rudy Wine and Hansford Greaver, who during their school years were ushers in theatres in Staunton, are now running a couple of theatres in New York. Elwood Tutwiler and Richard Clatterbaugh are both golf professionals and will play each other tomorrow for the national championship. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Tt seems that we are well supplied with food this year and now I know why.

Mary Washington College has a champion basketball team. No wonder with Louise Kindig as coach and Physical Education teacher. Lawrence Kelly is orchestra leader of that great Hollywood Orchestra we hear so much about. Elmer continues talking as the bubbles drift past. He tells me that Betty Brown is teaching piano and vocal and that her three worst vocalists are Louise Humphries, Pattie Harmon and Phyllis Roberts. Betty Sheffer is still plugging away trying to be recognized as a concert pianist and Betty Weaver is dancing in the floor show at “The Blue Flame” night club while her sister I.dith.is the lowest paid factory worker in the union. Sammy Snider is now an instructor at Langley Field, Virginia. Anna Swortzel is national advisor of the Future Homemakers of America. Ralph Perry reached his ambition as truck driver. Lee Fox is getting somewhere at last. He has been elected as President of the Loafer’s Club for the coming term. Bobby Dale is an up and coming Walt Disney Cartoonist making his place in his own small world. Are my eyes failing me or is this really Bobby Hull in the retailing business? Yep it is: Jellene Williamson has resigned from her position as assistant manager of People’s Drug Store to get married in June. I see prices going higher and higher so | know Harry Crummett is auctioneering with Louise Hays acting as clerk with her typewriter at hand. Looks like Josephine Cline can not get away from playing for glee clubs. She used to play in her old high school days and is now playing for a large chorus in Baltimore. The bubbles are floating lazily by on the light breeze. Is it possible? Yes! Loretta Blackwell is private secretary to one of the wealthiest men in Iowa and Mary Ellen Propst is doing interior decorating in Hollywood. Here is Meryl Desper as a great foreman ai Du Pont. ‘I see apples flying in the bubble so Joe Stump must me around his apple orchard. Doris Roadcap and Betty Hiner have just gotten back from their trip around the world and are now ready to start their careers as teachers. This is a lovely bubble! It even looks as if it contains diamonds. Betty Hall is a house- wife; her diamond really worked. Now here is Franklin Moses putting gas in a Rolls-Royce at his new station. J. C. Stover is now manager of Goodyear, but he still receives the salary of a retail salesman. He’ll never get rich that way. Here is Lyle Kindig in the stock business buying elephants in Africa. This gay, dancing bubble has a black face so it must be Carl Almarode coming from his machine shop. Henry Wingfield is now conducting the orchestra at Wilson High. He is taking over Where Mr. Farrow left off. Arlene Halterman has at last reached her goal as assistant radio announcer for Fulton King over W. T. O. N. Margaret Davis is doing interesting work as an interior decorator in New York. Davie Bocock, Glenn Sensabaugh and Lewis Bocock are all mechanical engineers working for themselves.

Beity Lyons and Maxine lox are telephone operators for Chesapeake Potomic and Kcanoke. Billy Landes reached his ambition never to grow taller. There is Alden Chandler telling his farm hands what to do. Ruth Moyer gave up her job as radio star to be married. Now I see Louis Quick driving a Quick Service truck that he owns. What is this I see a nurse on night duty at a hospital in Richmond; It 1s none other than Doris Powers. Ruth Wade, Milby VanFossen and Dorothy Campbell are private secretaries and can he heard arguing as to which one has the best job. Here is a successful undertaker, Elvin Fitzgerald, who prospers from doctors’ mistakes. James Moore has now worked his way up to one of the most eminent mechanical engineers in the state. He has Paul Warren as his partner. Dewey Via is kept busy, no wonder, he is contractor and builder in the West. Fay Huffman is a doctor at a large hospital in Richmond.

Jack James and Liston Moyer who are electricians decided Staunton wasn’t good enough for them, so they shoved off for “destination unknown.” I see Wayne Cook operating Oak Hill Grocery Company. Sammy Harris and Tommy Ramsey have gone together and bought a farm; now they can nut their agriculture into practice. Th ere goes Joe Brookman driving a Greyhound bus. Frank Coursey is now president of Brand Chevrolet Sales and Service. Now maybe he can keep himself a car. “Pie” Huff is still loafing around, as usual.

Melvin Mays is a Major in the Marine Corns with only twenty more years to go. Kenneth Conner is selling tembstones for Dr. Howe Sweet’s patients. They both have prosperous businesses. Wilbur Bedall is making a successful carcer in aeronautics. We see Mr. Hawkins must have done a good job of teaching Lester Anderson and Collis Blosser agriculture because I see in this bubble that they both own large farms in the middle west. David Campbell is operating New York’s largest hardware store. The bubbles are gradually diminishing. Audrey Campbell, Twila Gregg, Ruby Sheffer and Jean Holbert are all hard working stenographers who seem to be enjoying life to the fullest. There are Madeline Hewitt and Shirley Campbell nursing crippled children. Janet Beverage turned out 10 be a good nurse. She is head of the siaff at Waynesboro. There is Malcolm Beard milking cows. He has all the luxuries a farmer can have. Bill O’Brien is now head of a church in Washington, D. C. Here I see Gene Whitmore living in a large home in California. [| wonder who did that heautiful job of architecture? Well, of course, it could be no one but our ‘ole’ school pal himself—Pat Cooke. And here is Juanita Meeks taking good care of the patients in the University of Virginia. Margaret Ballew is now the world’s typing champion. “Number Please” .... Oh! That is Leona Moomaw. Donald Cary, Earl Cline and Bill Rowe are supposed to be trained mechanics, but if you could see them now, you'd think they weren’t even good “grease-monkeys.” I see Josephine Taylor is a high ranking Red Cross Instructress. Here is Betty Muterspaw taking dictation from Mr. Grant. Bobby Leach is an “on the guard” forest ranger, so watch your smoke. Mary Corbin, one time personal assistant to “The Fat Man”, is now quite successful as a private detective. The last of the clear, sparkling bubbles have just passed out of sight.

It’s really something special But I don’t recall the make. They say used cars are hard to get— We're not concerned with that— ’Cause should our car refuse to_run, We'd take to Mom’s new hat! —Mary Jo SHILLING THE LITTLE AMERICAN Johanna rose timidly as the teacher called: her name. “Yes, Miss Browning?” she said uncertainly. Miss Browning, a middle-aged woman with graying hair and soft blue eyes, looked at her for a moment before she replied. She let her eyes drop from the white bewildered face to the pair of hands that kept twitching nervously in the folds of Johanna’s full skirt. She felt a deep sympathy for this girl from an enemy country, and yet there was a certain quality she possessed that Sarah Browning couldn’t help admiring. That quality was the ability to laugh off the cruel, bitter things that were said about her. To her teacher’s knowledge, Johanna had never lost her temper—that is, until yesterday afternoon. Miss Browning’s voice was kind when she spoke, “Mr. Guilford would like to speak to you before you go to class, Johanna, You know the way to the office, don’t you?” | “Yes, ma'am; | know the way,” Johanna replied, and walked slowly to the back of the room. She kept her ey es on the door; not once did she let them stray to any of the twenty-eight faces that were turned toward her. She needn’t look at them to know what was on those faces; the same contemptuous smiles, the sneers, that had been there since the day her new American parents enrolled her as a freshman at this school, she thought bitterly. Johanna loved America: yet sometimes she wished she were back in Ger- many with her own dear family. But she had no family anymore except the new one in America—the Gestapo had seen to that personally. No good Germans were allowed to live. It was just luck that they had chosen a concentration camp for her instead of the firing squad. Oh, America was best by far—until someone pointed a scorning finger and whispered “German.” At first she had determined to make them learn to like her. She felt that her battle had been partially won, until yesterday. If only I could have kept from striking him! Everyone must hate me now; even the teachers, she kept thinking to herself as she walked up the long hall toward the door with OFFICE, in large letters, painted on the glass. Two weeks in a new school, and already she was being sent to the principal's office for such unladylike behavior as fighting! She paused a moment before the door, drew a long breath that was also a sigh, and entered the room. 2 The secretary, busy at her desk, looked up and smiled reassuringly. Strangely, Johanna found herself smiling back. The active little woman who seemed as much like a piece of office equipment as the typewriter or adding machine, nodded mechanically toward the door of Mr. Guilford’s private office, and turned back to her regular routine. , Johanna followed ber silent instructions and found herself face to face with Mr. Guilford, a kindly man, a little on the heavy side perhaps, but, nonetheless, friendly. “Sit down, my dear,” he said warmly, “And tell me about what happened yesterday afternoon.” Johanna in her print skirt carefully studied the figure, and then answered truthfully, “I’m afraid, sir, I—I got into a fight. I only hit him twice; he didn’t hit back at all.” “Oh, I know all that. What I want to know is why you did it.” It was easy to see he was far from angry. Johanna raised her eves to meet his level gaze and replied without a moment’s hesitance, “Sir, he called me a Nazi. And although I’m a German, I am not a Nazi. Even though they may all hate me for doing it, I’m not sorry.” “Hate you? Haven’t you talked to any of them today?” he asked in amaze- ment. iy Ds “T must admit, sir, | haven’t had enough courage to look at them today.” Mr. Guilford laughed softly to himself. “My dear,” he said, “They’ve ac- cepted you. They respect you more than they respect any of their own group. But they still insist upon calling you names—from now on to them vou’re “The Little American.” —Mary Jo SHILLING BROTHERS—HUH! “But gee whiz, Dad—” “Don’t gee whiz me. Of course you young ones know everything else, | want you to learn to keep your word.” “But how was I to know that the big dance wouid come on the Saturday that I have to work?” “You didn’t know and that’s that! Now get busy with your job.” “Aw heck, a girl can’t do anything on a farm except work, work, work!” As Beverly began to shell corn she thought back over the past six weeks. It was then that she made the bargain with her twin brother to work every other Saturday and now the dance would come on her Saturday to work. If Gary hadn’t been so stubborn he could have traded Saturdays and then she would have time to dress for the dance but—he was like other brothers. “Brothers—Huh!”’ She planned the day ahead of her. If she could get Dad to milk earlier she would have an hour to dress. As Beverly poured the milk from the last cow into the strainer she breathed a sigh of relief. As she stepped out of the barn she drew in her breath at the beauty of the sunset. The fiery mass of colors cast a shiny glare about everything. Her father’s voice broke the spell ‘Beverly, did you water the horses?” “No! Aw heck, I'll never be ready on time at this rate.” “Mother, does this tie look right?” asked Gary. “Yes,” she said without looking, “I wonder why Beverly and your Dad haven’t come over. It is later than usual and Beverly has to bathe and dress yet. You should have gone on and helped them this evening.” ‘But golly, it was her turn today and she never helps me, does she?” His question went unanswered as the telephone dingled in the hall. ‘Hello= Yes heis here. Okay, just asminute.” “Gary, Marybelle wants to speak with you a minute.” “Hello Marybelle. What? You aren’t kidding me are you Aw darn! Well I probably won’t go either. Tell your brother I'll get even with him for this. Okay. Well, good-by Mary.” “Mom, Marybelle’s brother has the measles and they are quarantined for a week and she can’t go to the dance with me. I guess I'll go stag if I go at all.” “Mom, the telephone’s ringing.” Beverly called from upstairs. Beverly was sitting on the sofa waiting for her escort to come for her and Gary was sitting beside the radio trying to decide what to do about the dance when the telephone rang again. “T’ll get it Mom,” said Beverly. “Hello, yes, this is she. A flat tire! You say you can’t come after me. Well okay; I understand, no hard feelings. Good night.” “Well, I guess I’ll stay home too.” ‘Beverly, If you want to go [ll take you.” “Oh Gary, thank you. I do so want to go.” The dance was a huge success and as Beverly pressed her first corsage, be- tween her diary’s pages, she said aloud to herself “Aren’t brothers wonderful? Especially twin brothers’’! Dor Harris—Jr. IT'S OUR SCHOOL NOW The feeling was with me when | awoke. It was sort of a feeling of expecta- tion and excitement. Oh, yes! It was to be my first day at Wilson Memorial High School. I had been half dreading and halt looking forward to school for the last two weeks. Although I hated to give up the summer vacation, my curiosity had almost gotten the best of me. Everyday the newspaper seemed to have some new praises for this wonderful school. There seemed to be no end to the ad- vantages we were to have. Before long it was time for the bus. On the bus I tried to read the feelings of my classmates. The seeming dread and disgust of the boys with an occasional spark of excitement and the mingled dread and anticipation of the girls were easily seen, Stories flew from lip to lip. Some were about summer vacations but more were tales of wonder and woe, about our new school. Now that we were finally on our way, we were all curious and the suspense seemed to be killing us. We didn’t have long to wait. All too soon Mr. Batson’s cheery voice was inviting us to leave the bus and enter the social center. There was little time to look around and before long two hundred enthusiastic, shining young faces were gazing at our principal. He explained how things would work and introduce our teachers who were going to try that hopeless task of teaching us something. After a while we were led out of the social center. Before us stretched seemingly endless corridors. For a while I wished I had a bicycle or at least some roller skates. After an apparently long walk, we reached our destination where we were to sign our own death warrants. We were faced with the problem of choosing what we hoped would be the easiest and best courses. Before we had finished, there was a noise which, we were informed was the lunch bell and there was no need to tell us twice. As we reached the threshold of the lunch room, we were met by appetizing odors, and, wonder of wonders, it was comparatively quiet. Yes, oh joy! No scraping chairs! The swinging seats and sleek tables were ideal. Lunch over, we returned to finish signing for our classes. This completed and our doom sealed, we were led on a tour of our new prison. At last, school out, we boarded busses for home and the theme song on the bus was “Oh, My Tired, Aching. Feet.” By now we have stopped going to bed with tired, aching feet. We almost love the corridors. Yes, Wilson is different, but who'd want to change it ? —Lucy LEE GROVE THE HAPPIEST TREE OF ALL This is the happiest Christmas I ever had because 1 was helping to make someone else happy. This is how it happened. One day some boys and girls came to the woods from the orphans’ home nearby. These woods I had called my home for several years. They looked over all the other trees but finally turned back to me. They thought I suited them best because I was little and alone like them. “This is a beautiful tree for this Christmas!” said one of the boys as they gently cut me down. Then more gently than ever they laid me on their sled. Sing- ing and laughing gaily they tugged me to their home. When we arrived they took me into their workshop and put a stand on me. Then into the house | went. They made popcorn balls and paper chains to decorate me. “This tree hardly needs any decoration; he is so beautiful!” said the boys. This made me swell with pride. Not many trees have any happier Christmas. When all the children had gone to bed and were fast asleep I thought my splendor was over. But! no! I heard a noise. It was coming down the chimney. In popped the funniest little man I had ever seen. But he was a jolly fellow. He placed gifts for all under my branches. Next morning all the children rushed into the room where I had stood all night. They got their gifts and opened them. | have never heard such shouts of joy and surprise. They were all having a joyous time. Now, although my branches are withered and I am not so happy-looking I am still the happiest tree of all. I only regret that | can make these children happy only one Christmas! —CLYDE CONNER LITTLE DOG His ears are long, his eyes are bright, His coat is soft and brown. His eager energetic voice Is known all over town. He sleeps all day, he howls all night, [stcruel.to the cat Eats four meals or more a day; His waist line is too fat. He tracks in mud and hides his bones In cushions, rugs, and stuff He growls and barks at company But it is just a bluff. His nose is cold, his tail is short, He wags all in between To greet us when we’re home from school And scratches on the screen. He sits up close, he licks my ear ; I think he likes to smooch. He’s an awful nuisance but T love him—he’s my pooch! Mr. Heatwole’s fourth period, Junior English Class COMPASS, PLEASE Where do I go to school? Oh, didn’t I tell you; I go to Wilson, the con- solidated high school at Fishersville. Yes, it was a hospital for the wounded soldiers of World War II. Heck, no, I’m not scared I'll catch leprosy or seven years’ itch if I attend a government class in one of the reconverted wards. School starts tomorrow; Ill tell you more about it then. Well, here I am at this long awaited spot, good old Wilson! I wonder if it will be like my dreams for this past summer. Ye, gads, where did all these kids come from? And how do they pack so many in those busses?? Do you mean that they all come from Beverly Manor, Fishersville, New Hope, and Stuarts Draft? Teachers beware!!! Classes start tomorrow. I don’t know whether I'll regret this or not. ne, Let me see now, English class is first on my schedule and its on B-712-X. This is A-604-Y. I'll have to find it by three o’clock or I’m doomed. | think you are supposed to go up A corridor to M....and then to B. Deliver me from these corridors. Too bad I can’t break a leg or something so someone would have to push me around in a wheelchair. Where am I? Oh, my gosh, this is the principal’s office. It says on the door....Mr. Mc- Chesney....yes, I remember him now. He’s that nice man who looks a little like Bing Crosby and who gave such a friendly talk to us on the first day of school. Horrors, I wouldn’t want him to know | couldn’t find my way to class; even if there are about thirty odd classrooms to choose from. “Hi there.’”’ Gee, that was a cute kid; I wonder where she is from. People certainly are friendly around this school. Here comes a couple maybe they are going to English class. I'll just follow them very innocently and see for myself. My poor feet are so tired; I’ve been following them for five minutes and I’m still in the corridor. Hey, here’s B-712X. I found it all by myself... .we-l-l almost my myself. Now that I’m here, I wonder how I’m to get back to my Ome, LOotie le iVer tp wee ane “Does anyone have an extra compass ?” —Loretta BLACKWELL TEACHERS Our teachers are short, fat, skinny, and tall, But we have lessons from them one and all. Some of them beg and some of them scold, And some of them frown, and some grow cold. They give lessons for both day and night, So no wonder we all fuss and fight. But we like our teachers one and all, The short, the tat, the skinny and the tall! —CHARLOTTE JONES “ON THE EVE OF DEATH” lf he dies where will he lie Though the graveyard be nigh In my memories he will be Full of fun and gayiety.

Young, old and the like Must ride with death some night Moslem, Hindu, Christian and Atheist All some day will face this On Earth I have lived, on Earth I will die. Does anyone know where the unknown lie? —Rupy WINE DREAMS OF A “FUTURE TEACHER” How many times have you looked at your teacher and said to yourself, “I wonder what it would be like to be standing behind that desk and directing twenty or twenty-five pupils?” Have you ever noticed how much patience they have especially when the class gets in a tumultous uproar? I know of. one teacher as he slowly gets mad, his face turnes a fiery red. We know when he says, “Come to order!” he means bust- ness. But let’s go on about the dreams of a “future teacher.” Here we are only two brief years and we are on our own to choose our life’s career. Maybe you have big dreams maybe a dream of being a teacher as I have. Just think: here | am behind my own desk early in the morning. Outside it is frigid weather but it is burning hot in this particular room. The pupils began pouring in while I grade papers of the day before. They are a very destitute group of children or maybe ever millionaire’s sons and daughters, but to me they are all equal. Then they divide into their own particular groups to go outdoors to play. Soon I see a group gathering. Something is the matter. I go out to investigate and find a very stout boy fighting a feeble lad. I separate them and class bell rings. The children file in and settle in their seats. I call the roll and then start with the day’s classes. A small group in the back start a thunderous noise with their talking. ‘Patience, teacher, patience,’ is a beckoning voice inside me. I say, “Quiet children, you must pay attention to the person reading.” At the close of the day IT am exhausted but pleased because I chose teaching as a career. Yes, this is the dreams of a person who wants to be a “teacher of the future.” 3ETTIE RITCHIF se a FAMILIAR PEOPLE AROUND WILSON Students and teachers you see everywhere because there are so many of them but had you ever thought who keeps these floors so slick, the paper picked up and the rest rooms and classrooms clean?

OUR LUNCHROOM If lite at Wilson should become dull just drop around to the spicy atmosphere of the cafeteria and join in the chatter and banter of the little group. which makes up a very important part of this Wilson Hornet’s Nest. They prepare the food that keeps us buzzing—and we do mean buzzing. They listen patiently to our criticism and gratefully to our appreciation. They cater to our whims and fancies. Hats off to these ladies and men who through it all come up smiling and have a pleasant word for everyone. Nor should we forget the student girls and boys who are usually there to lend a helping hand. They are becoming quite expert too in planning menus, using the kitchen equipment, keeping records, taking inventory, keeping the kitchen clean, sanitary and attractive and many other things necessary in the general management of a lunchroom. These boys and girls have the honor of being charter members of the lunchroom management class. The ladies and men who prepare our meals are: MRS. E. L. KIBLINGER MRS.

Dinners to get, houses to clean, No time for being naughty or mean. Iveryone’s hustling both far and near, Oh, why can’t it come every day of the year? —Mary Atwoop A JOY RIDE “Here it comes!” someone yells. Out you scramble through the milling crowd into the downpour of rain. “Tf only I can make it up there before the bus stops, | won’t get a bit wet,” you think to yourself. As you go racing up the sidewalk toward the stop, much to your amazement you hear lots of grunts and snorts and wonder why they let grouchy, old ladies ride the busses. All you did was knock one little teeny package out of her arms as you whizzed by. Besides it didn’t even break. Ah, at last! Just a few pushes and one big shove and you're on the bus. Now, the task of choosing your seat. The one behind the driver is a good one. What a cute driver! He must be new. Or maybe you'll sit beside that tall, dark and handsome across the way. As you make your way across to the other side, not missing a single foot, you find that some drippy, giggling girl has beaten you to it. You turn back to your former seat to find it also occupied by two hundred and fifty pounds. You can almost hear the poor seat groan. You resolve to stand, only to find the bus starting with a jerk, landing you into some old lady’s lap who definitely has no sense of humor at all. Everything goes fine until that young man finally pulls the cord and pre- pares to depart. The bus stops. You grab for the seat. Picking yourself up, you decide to let the man off first. You grab again. Ouch, your head! The other girl has the seat and you have a big goose egg on your head. Finally a seat, but you wonder what the man beside you is getting out of his letter. You can only read every other word of it. At last! Your stop. What a reief. You stumble off wondering whv they ever let some people ride a city bus. —GRACE BABER HERE'S TO SPRING Welcome spring—we’re glad you're here. Winter’s gone—and winter’s drear With overcoats and ailing throats! So long, winter, till next year. Raindrops slanting in the sun, Warm green fields to fall upon. Robins hopping, freckles popping ; Winter’s gone and spring is fun. Flowers peeping through the grass, Thoughts that wander far from class, Sidelong glances, new romances, Make exams so hard to pass. Windows open on the bus, Gentle breezes cooling us; Swimming pools, closing schools, And commencement’s frantic fuss. Speckled trout with fancy fins, Freckled faces full of grins; Red tomatoes, new potatoes ; Gardens full of vitamins. Warm soft nights again to bring Fragrant evenings in the swing. Welcome gates, front porch dates; Spring is here and here’s to spring. Mr. Heatwole’s second period English Class AN ESSAY Mr. Daniel Webster. who is said to be quite an authority on the subject, has defined an essay as: A literary composition dealing with its subject in a more or less informal or personal way. Now I am inclined to agree with him to a certain extent, but I don’t feel that he goes quite far enough—And I believe that if he ever read a composition written by a high school student of my mental capacity, his opinion would be slightly altered. Of course everybody knows that some people are brighter than others, and | suppose that some fortunate creatures are able to create sentences and para- graphs which would be up to Mr. Webster’s standards but I never have written anything better than an insult to my English teacher and everyone else who happens to read it. Mr. Webster also states that a composition is often written as an educational exercise. It may be an exercise because my right hand fingers are usually stiff a few days after the terrible ordeal is over, but as far as my essays being educa- tional, I can’t see it—nor could anyone else who has any idea of what “educa- tional” means. So, being a person of experience (an experience no one else would want to witness) I have reached a conclusion and have a definition for this thing known as composition (this only pertains to compositions written by unfortunate people like me.) It is as follows, with all due apologies to whom this does or does not apply : An essay is an army of eight syllabic words which are thrown together to make sense, but usually end up being one big congomeration of verbal con- tradictions. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE AT WILSON Upon entering Wilson Memorial in September of this year we, like most boys and girls, were anxious to see what was available in the way of physical education facilities. We were amazed to find a physical set-up comparable to many colleges. On the west side of the high school area was a splendid baseball field with a beautiful bluegrass sod, a huge back-stop, and concrete dugouts. Partially over- lapping the baseball field stretched a football field, the like of which is rarely seen at any high school. Close by were two double tennis courts in excellent condition, bounded on either side by a volley ball court. To the north of the high school buildings we were thrilled to see a huge gymnasium equipped with showers, restrooms, dressing rooms, and handball courts. We might add that since September we have acquired a spacious girls’ dressing room, horizontal bars, parallel bars and sufficient basketball goals to per- mit three games to be played simultaneously. To the rear of the gym we found a fine swimming pool with a connecting bath house. In the same area as the gym were numerous horseshoe pitching pits, an outdoor basketball court, and a double handball court. To the east of the gym and overlooking the entire high school area was a beautiful softball field. With all these facilities available we were soon to experience a most worth- while and enjoyable physical education program. During the sunny days of September and October, the baseball and football fields were filled with students playing such games as soccer and touch football. At the same time, other students were busy on the tennis, volleyball and handball courts, or on the softball field. When “old man weather” forced us to take shelter, we found our gym and social center afforded ample space to carry on our activities. Our gym lent itself well to four volleyball courts, and the social center gave room for conditioning exercises and tumbling. The horizontal and parallel bars have made physical education a pleasant ex- perience for many who did not enjoy the other activities. Many are finding social dancing, under competent instruction, a most desirable form of recreation and exercise. Through this activity we are learning not only how to dance but to be ‘good mixers socially. No more wallflowers at Wilson! We are told that we can look forward to an even greater variety of physical education activities as more equipment and buildings become available. Wilson Memorial has been admitted to Group II, District 5, of the Virginia High School League. We feel that we have made a splendid start in our inter- scholastic sports program. Football was introduced for the first time in the Augusta County Schools. Our schedule this year was very light, but a full season is planned for next year. Both the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams are playing a full league schedule. A ten-game baseball season awaits us with the coming of spring sports. Also, we have plans for a fine track team. Looking into the future we are confident of a physical education and sports program sufficiently broad to meet the needs of our approximately one thousand students. We, the students of Wilson Memorial wish to express our gratitude to the instructors of the physical education program for their help and guidance. NEXT YEARS SENIORS 1. A happy twosome 2. Tut-tut 3.
