He Hails from the original pen and combined efforts of Janet Sipe, Connie Livesay and Patsy Waite, Art Editors of The Hornet’s Nest. Connie had the first vision of him and with the help of the other two artists they managed to get him to pose for them while lie was participating m various school activities. HENRY will be seen throughout this book taking part in all phases of school life. Notice him as he is when first a green uncertain freshman and then as he grows to a sophisticated soph, then a hopeful junior and finally when lie becomes the most important person in the world; A SENIOR”. He even broke down and joined the faculty for a while! W e all hope that HENRY THE HORNET will be a friend and become popular with everyone. W e like him very much and hope you will enjoy him and his antics when you read through the book.

The Wilson Memorial High School annual staff, voted unanimously to dedicate the yearbook to our sponsor, who started it three years ago and has faith¬ fully given her time to it since then. Under her un¬ failing guidance, the yearbook has been selfsupport¬ ing in the financial field and has contributed a great deal towards cooperation in the activities of the stu¬ dent body. The staff believing bouquets and honors should be given to the person whose untiring services on our behalf are a part of the past, the present and the fu¬ ture, does as a token of gratitude, willingly and whole¬ heartedly dedicate this edition of the Hornet ' s Nest of 1949-50 to Mrs. Mildred Sublette.

The name chosen for the school was Wilson Memorial High School. This year there were about 950 students who attended the new school. Again in 1949 the County School Board moved another high school, Mid- dlebrook, into Wilson Memorial which added about 100 students to the enroll¬ ment. This addition plus new students has increased the enrollment to about 1200 pupils. We are proud of our school and the progress it has made during the three years of its existence. Manx of our graduates are now enrolled at various schools of their choice and are bringing prominance to our school. Others are making a successful place for themselves in business or by establishing homes of their own. Did you know these interesting facts about your school? Students are transported to and from school by 26 county owned busses. 99% of the students ride the busses. Students are transported from as far as 30 miles from school. 47 teachers plus the principal and assistant principal make up the faculty. Many of the teachers board or have apartments on the school grounds. There are 52 classrooms in use. There are 33 homerooms with these divisions; 6 senior homerooms, 7 jun¬ iors, 9 sophomores and 11 freshmen homerooms. That there are 18 clubs in the school. The Wilson Echo is our school newspaper and is published once a month. That the Wilson Educational Center, is made up of three schools: The State Rehabilitation Center, the Woodrow Wilson Technical School and Wilson Memorial High School. There are 26 acres in the school grounds. H Vice-President Melvin Fitzgerald Howdyshell, was elected president of the class. Other officers are: Vice- President—Melvin Fitzgerald; Secre¬ tary- Hetty Lou Harner; and Treasur¬ er- -Don C.hafin. One party has already been enjoyed by tiie Senior class and we are looking for¬ ward to several more. Secretary Betty Lou Harner We are indebted to all our teachers who have made our high school days so enjoyable. I he memories we take from W ilson will be with us through all the years to come, and we can proudly call Wilson Memorial our Alma Mater ! President Connard Howdyshell Ghe Senior Glass Officers — iq g- o Have you heard the big news? You haven’t? We thought everybody had—were Seniors now! Isn’t that wonderful! We remember way back when we were freshmen. Of course we were at our former schools then— Stuarts Draft, Fishersville, Beverley Manor, Njew Hope and Middlebrook. Various activities went on in these schools in which we freshmen participated. Then our Sophomore year arrived— and we started to Wilson! Happy day! We elected very capable class officers and dur¬ ing the year had a wonderful time. By our Junior year everyone was thor¬ oughly acquainted and everything was just a little more exciting than the year before! At last—we are Seniors and this year a new group was added—Middlebrook.

Vice President .... Treasurer President Ada Ann Blackwell Secretary J’atsy Koontz Juniors! Is it really true? Are we really three-fourths of the way to the end of our goal? Yes, we are, and to a certain extent we are happy about it. The idea of graduating in 1951 brings quite a bit of excitement to us. But remember in 1947, when we were the first freshman class to begin at Wilson? We thought we would never be able to get from class to class. Every thing looked and seemed so strange to us. It didn’t take long for us to feel right at home though, did it? Last year, as sophomores, we loved it! We had many parties and dances. We made new friends and attended the football and basketball gmes with great anxiety. But tiiis year, we just can’t find words to describe it. We seem to love everv moment of it. We have had several assembly programs. In November, at our assembly program, we elected Junior Class Officers. I Jecember was an exciting month for all of us. Our Junior Class held its annual party on the ninth. At our assembly program for the month, a drama¬ tization of “The Night Before Christmas” was presented, which was very entertaining. On the twenty-second, each class had its own Christmas party and at noon, we were dismissed for the holidays. With mid-term exams behind us, we are naturally looking forward to our £ : 1 exams. We are in the midst of our basketball season and we are proud that our Junior Class is well represented with Billy Conyers playing varsity ball for the boys and Betty Lou Link play¬ ing for the girls. We are glad that Wilson High is making rapid progress in the field ol sports as this has been our best year since its beginning. The latter part of our Junior year at Wilson will be climaxed with baseball in sports and the annual Junior-Senior Prom in the social field. Yes, we are three-fourths of the way to the end of our goal. But we ' re sure you can see why we are both happy and reluctant about it. We’ve had fun, we’ve made new friends and we ' ve broadened our knowledge in many subjects. Yes, we will be proud to be the first graduating class to have completed all four years at Wilson Memorial High.

At first they all seemed extreme¬ ly clumsy, but after a while they became better acquainted and more accustomed to high school. Some actually found out that high school wasn’t such a bad place after all. This year the same group entered into school with greater spirit, knowing they were a recognized class at Wilson. Don’t let us leave the impression that we were not recognized last year but at the time, as green freshmen, we had our doubts. The members of this class participate in all extra-curricular activities pro¬ vided. The ' hold many offices in the various clubs as well as coveted positions on the athletic teams. At the first class meeting in October the election of capable officers was be¬ gun and finished at a later date. These officers and the nine sophomore sponsors have helped make this an even better year than the last one. Now our big aim is to become “sophisticated juniors”.

Treasurer freshman Glass Gtistor On September nineth students from Beverley Manor, Fishersville, New Hope, Greenville, Stuarts Draft, Crimora and Middlebrook entered at Wilson’s doors. We thought we would never get used to the strange surroundings, but with the help of Mr. McChesney, teachers and fellow students we soon became accustomed to it. We were all proud to have entering with us the freshman of Middlebrook. On September sixteenth we were all excited about our first football game w ith Madison. We tried to show the boys on the team that we were interested in them and wanted them to win by attending the game. They played very good foot¬ ball and won over Madison’s team. We freshmen are all very proud to be attending Wilson and hope to be here next year. We wish to thank each member of the faculty and our fellow students for helping us to get acquainted with the unfamiliar surroundings of Wilson.

Each day we hurry into our bright gleaming starched gym suits which make a colorful field for any sport. After calling the roll we en¬ gage in five minutes of calisthenics designed to develop coordination, rhythm and poise. The remainder of the period is used in learning skills and participating in sports. During the fall months we enjoy soccer. The soccer fields are laid off so that four teams can participate at once. hen the weather permits, a limited number of girls are allowed to play tennis. Due to favorable weather we were able to continue these outside sports until in the late fall. During the winter we share the gym with the boys rotating each day and on Fridays the boys and girls get together for social dancing. This year, dancing is more fun than ever since we had Air. Chase to teach us how to folk dance. This has helped to solve the problem of bashful boys and girls. The two days a week, that we have the gym, we are divided into four squads to play basketball. The other two days we go to either B608 or 609, which the physical education departments use for calisthenics and work on skills. Having a large gym with eight basketball goals, we are able to have three games going on at one time. At the end of the basketball season we engage in an inter-class basketball play-off. In this event a great number of students will be able to take part. All the girls are looking forward to spring so that they can swim, play tennis and softball. Again this year the students are receiving a broader and richer course in health and physical education. We believe that a health education program through classroom instruction will help st udents acquire and maintain a high standard of personal health. The physical defects such as bad teeth, diseased tonsils, and defective eyes were brought to our attention during the physical inspections which are given by our instructors three times a year. If we have a defect we are encouraged to have this corrected as soon as possible. Every freshman class has two periods of health instruction a week. They have stressed personal health and well being of the individual. Units for health study are as follows; 1. Teeth and their care 2. Eyes and their care . 3. Proper care of the skin 4. Proper care of the hair 5. The functions and care of the principle organs ol: the body 6. Etiquette, common courtesies, etc. 7. Sanitation in the home and school 8. First-aid Physical Education Proa mm We, the hoys at Wilson Memorial, are experiencing a program in health and physical education designed to meet the needs of the hoys in so far as it is possible with the facilities av lilable. Each class is broken down into squads of about 8 or 10 students. The individual squad has a captain who directs it in its various activities. The boys are encouraged to change in¬ to old clothing and gym shoes before participating in the activities. This is not only a pro¬ tection for good clothing, but also tends to insure safer participation. At the end of each class period the boys are given ample time to take a shower, ' the} 1 are encouraged to shower each day as this is a part of healthful everyday living. At the beginning of each class period we take 3 to 5 minutes of calisthenics of a nature that tends to develop coordination and provide exercise for the major muscle groups. Im¬ mediately following the calisthenics we participate in such sports as touch football, basket¬ ball, softball, volleyball and track. From these we not only get plenty of physical exercise, but we learn to appreciate and enjoy those sports as forms of leisure time recreation. Such activities also help the boys to learn the importance of teamwork, cooperation, sportsman¬ ship and the proper attitude toward one another. We engage in these activities on a seasonal basis. In addition, there are other activities in which we participate which are excellent leisure time recreational sports. Among these are horseshoes, swimming, tennis, handball, and check¬ ers. One can enjoy these sports where there are but a few to participate. Each Friday during the winter months the boys and girls and classes in physical education are combined for folk games, square dancing and social dancing. This is a most vital part of the program. Not only is dancing a pleasant recreational past time, but it is excellent in helping boys to develop rhythm, poise and muscular coordination. It is here also that boys learn to associate with girls on a high plane. The effects of this training is felt at our many school parties. Gone are the days when boys and girls stand around the wall of the social center suffering from a feeling of social incompetency. The boys who really take advantage of the opportunity to learn to dance find our school parties are a lot of fun. This year we were fortunate in having Mr. Richard Chase, a noted folklorist, lecturer and author, to spend several days and nights with us. Under his direction we learned a number of folk games and square dances which we continue to enjoy at our school parties. The health side of the health and physical education program is tied in very closely with the physical activity side. It is only the freshmen who are able to have two days each week of health instruction. In our health classes we learn how to conduct ourselves properly at school parties and the common courtesies to be shown girls. This year we did considerable work in first-aid. A most important part of the health program for all boys is the physical inspection which is held in October, January, and May. During this time a careful check is made of our teeth, eyes, ears, throat, height and weight. Upon the discovery of some physical defect we are encouraged to have these corrected as soon as possible. Through the health and physical education report card our parents are notified that the defects do exist. W e are taught that bv having remediable physical defects corrected, eating plenty of good food, getting sufficient rest and exercise and engaging in wholesome recreation we can enjoy a state of health that will be most important in helping us experience an enjoyable school file.

They are Shirley Wright, Virginia McCormick and Ann O’Brien. Then of course those good looking boys who have attached themselves to the group are Jack Blacka and Rudy Hull.

AUTOGRAPHS IMPATIENCE hat makes the wind begin to blow In spring about the time the snow Is gone? What makes the clouds appear Along about this time of the year? What makes the rain fall down so hard Upon the roof and in the yard? Could it be the way it seems, Impatient with a winter’s dreams Of summer, and of summers fun; We long to know that winter’s run His course, and look for signs of spring; Impatient for the birds to sing? —English 111, first period class APRIL SHOWERS Tinkling, sprinkling, tiny raindrops Sounding merry as a bell; Slanting, chanting in the sunlight, Gently, gently, cast their spell. Dancing, prancing in the puddles, Tumbling lightly on the lawn; Falling, calling to the children, “April’s here and winter’s gone.” —Lottie Fitzgerald APRIL SHOWERS Silver shining rain drops Sparkling in the sun, Splashing on the roof tops; Notice how they run Down the drain And out across the yard. I like April showers when It doesn’t rain too hard. A technicolor rainbow Done in kodachrome; Colors in a painted row, Over mountain dome, Cross the plains And valleys and Across the hills so high. I like April showers when A rainbow’s in the sky. —English III, 3B Class FIRST DATE An hour before tin- stated time She starts to fix her face. Half an hour before lie’s due She has begun to pace. Up and down the hall she goes— Oh, what if he is late! She can tell no one her woes : You see, it’s her first date. Fifteen minutes yet to go “Do you think I look ok?” The answer is “Of course you do.” What else can a person say? Nervously, she sees the time How long the minutes are. What if he shouldn’t come at all Oh, I think I hear a car! The doorbell rings; she runs upstairs (She says to comb her curls) Her mother stalls the boy a while. (She knows the way of girls.) At last back down again she comes And greets him with a smile. She’s changed her dress, and fixed her hair And walked that longest mile. - -Margaret Tyree THE SCARLET GLADIOLA Standing alone in what was once a beautiful garden was a scarlet gladiola. A large deep, dark red flower stands as a sentinel over the grave of a beautiful woman who had planted it. A huge weatherbea ten frame house stood a few hundred feet away on a knoll overlooking the Mississippi river and the garden. The house was of the old southern plantation design. The furnishings of the deserted mansion were covered with inches of dust and yards of cobwebs. Huge rats were the sole inhabitants and made use of all the furniture. A large living room dominated the front of the house and to the back of it was the dining room and a smaller living room. All of these rooms were trimmed in either a deep or a light red. Upstairs were the lofty-ceilinged bedrooms and the immense ballroom was on the third floor. In the most prominent corner of the ballroom was the painted, full-length portrait ot a very beautiful woman. Her mass of curly auburn hair hung to her waist and was held in place by a comb with ruby sets. Her eyes were dark brown and her mouth and nose were exquisitively shaped. Her gown was a deep wine velvet and in her hand she held one lovely red gladiola, similar to the one in the garden. In my imagination I could see her dancing and laughing in the ballroom, flirting with every man she saw but no one in particular. But the story I had heard about this girl would not let my imagination go on in that channel. An old negro had told me that Gladys, for that was the lovely creature’s name, had loved flowers and was very kind and sweet. She had once been the most beautiful girl in the south, but that had not spoiled her. Her favorite flower was the deep, dark red gladiola. She died when she was very young, of pneumonia and ordered, after she died, all of the furnishings in the house be done in red. All the flowers were dug up in the garden and destroy¬ ed except the one red gladiola. She ordered this because she loved a Spaniard who first time she saw him, was at a fiesta in Brazil and was dressed in deep, dark red velvet. She fell in love with him and used to love anything that was red. But he was killed in a ship wreck off the coast of Cuba when he was coming to marry Gladys. She lived to be twenty-nine and as most folks say, just grieved herself un¬ derneath that gladiola in the garden. —A Senior SNOW Slowly snow is riding down Upon a chilling breeze; Soon to cover all the town And all the trees. All the snow has fallen now Through this chilling night ; 1 have always wondered how d ' he snow could be so white. -Mickky Daugti kkty JIMMY CRICKET It was a late Sunday afternoon when Jimmy came riding down the dusty road on an old thread spool that had been fixed up with a rubber band and two match sticks. Jimmy was just getting back from town. He had been to town to buy himself a blunderbuss shotgun, some shells, and a red coat. The next morning he got up and saddled his horse-fly, got his dog and rode away. When he got to the woods he got off his horse and walked into the cool woods. He sat down on a tree trunk, put in a plug of tobacco and relaxed, lie did not have to wait long before a deer came down through the woods. He shot but just took off a piece of the deer’s short tail. He reloaded his gun and took after the animal. He made his way through the brush and saw the deer. Ib- sbot again but missed. The deer just stood there and looked, because he knew Jimmy could not hurt him. Alas”, Jimmy said. He had just wasted all Ins powder. The deer stood and looked at Jimmy for awhile. Then suddenly lie- had an idea. He came over and grabbed Jimmy by the coat and pulled. Jimmy followed him and the deer tools him to a bear cave. The bear came out of the cave and chased the deer. The bear had the deer cornered, but Jimmy had a trick up his sleeve. He pulled out his gravel shooter and got his watch chain out. He pulled back the rubber band and let go. The chain caught the hear around the neck and pinned him to a tree. The deer came up to Jimmy and licked his hand. But now Jimmy had a problem on his hands. How was he going to get the bear out of the woods. He thought a minute and then walked over and pulled down a sapling, tied a string to it and tied the other end of the string to a trunk. He walked over to the bear and dragged him to the prongs of the sapling. He cut the string - and the bear flew through the air. When he got back to his horsefly he found the bear lying on the horsefly’s back. He crawled up on the bear and went for a long ride home. When he got home he fixed the bear with spices and seasoning. Well, Jimmy never got over killing that bear the way he did and to this day you can still hear Jimmy tell his grandchildren about it. And if you go to Jimmy ' s house you can see Jimmy’s rug with the chain around the bear’s neck. As for the deer he has great great grandchildren and great, grandchildren. He visits Jimmy very often and he really laughs at Jimmy when he tells his story, because it does sound funny and miraculous and the deer wouldn’t be here if it hadn’t happened. -Tommy Varner THE BEAUTIFUL PARK I am glad that I live near a park, For in the winter after dark, And every morning, 1 can play In the park across the way. I can run and I can shout; I am glad when I come out And see the park lights shine bright and still As dandelions upon a hill. Irving Jones THE BIG GAME The day of the final football game dawned clear, but Jerry arose with an uneasy feeling in his chest. “Oh why couldn’t it have been raining?” thought Jerry, who was the star halfback of Clinton High ' s team. Jerry descended the steps with a heavy heart to prepare breakfast for his invalid mother. “Why did my Dad have to get killed and in doing so injure my mother? Jerry mumbled as he started the fire. Here his mother lay, unable to earn a living for them, so Jerry was forced to work late into the night after a strenuous football practice to earn enough money to keep both of them alive. I he going had been rough and Jerrv had been tempted many times to do anything to get “easy money”. Temptation over ruled his conscience, and last night when the big husky looking hoy from Washington High, which was Clinton High ' s biggest rival, and opponent for today’s game, waved ten dollars in front of his face, the temptation was too great. “How could 1 be such a traitor, and be so unfair to my team and coach?” thought Jerry as he kicked the leg of the stove in disgust. Jerry’s mind was filled with flashing memories of the times that the coach had pulled him aside and dis¬ cussed the secret plays with him, thinking they would go no further—and they hadn’t until last night. Bang! The lid of the stove came down as Jerry realized that he had caused his school to break their year’s record by losing the Anal game. Jerry went off to school, his mind on everything except studies. The coach greeted him with a friendly “good morning”, but Jerry couldn’t face him or look any of his team mates straight in the eye. In the locker room the whole squad was in high spirits over the new secret plays they were going to use—everybody except Jerry, who dressed quietly and vowed to himself that he was going to play harder than ever to make up for what he had done. He didn ' t understand his being such a traitor to his school over ten dollars. As the team ran out on the held the cheers from the bleachers sent a cold chill up Jerry’s back. At the half the score was 12-6, Washington’s favor, Jerry had played most of the game and it seemed to him that everywhere he looked lie saw the face of the boy to whom he had sold the secret plays. Each time lie saw the face he played harder than ever. There were just two minutes left in the game. Clinton High had just made a touchdown to tie the score, and now the whole game depended upon Jerry. If the kick was good, it would be Clinton High’s game. The team was in position and Jerry started back to make the kick. He made it! The score was now 12-12 and the game was over. Jerry walked off the held straight to Washington’s locker room where he found Bob. “Here’s your money, Bob, I don ' t want it.” “No, Jerry it was a fair bet. Even though you told me the truth about the plays, your team won by hard clean Aghting.” “Bob, it wasn ' t fair to my team and coach and my conscience will feel better if you take the money. Is it a deal?” asked Terry. ( Kay, Jerry, Bob answered. Thanks Bob, Jern added as he made his way across the field with a much lighter heart. His teammates slapped him on the back, but Jerry was so happy over the victor)’ that he hardly realized what any of them were saying. That night after work he hurried home to tell his mother. It was 10:30 and he noticed as he climbed the steps that the light was on in her room. This was unusual, because she was always asleep when he got home. He opened the door to see his mother sitting up in bed, looking better than ever, reading the evening newspaper which told of Clinton High ' s victor) and what a star her son had been in the game. —Mary Alice Phillips EVENING CLOUDS The clouds are floating in the sky Like cotton balls in pale blue ink, Sometimes they float, sometimes they fly And then they turn to rosy pink. Why do the white clouds change this way? Sometimes their lovely golden tint Will turn into a graven gray And then vou wonder where they went. -Don i a Lee Grove. THE MOON In the stillness of the night, I love to watch the moon so bright As it climbs the mountain’s peak, It glows as though a golden streak. Then it steals across the sky. In and out the clouds near by, Winking at the twinkling stars, Passing by ole man Mars. If it followed the Milkyway, I wonder where t ' would be today. I only hope there ' ll always be, A wise ole moon for me to see. -Patsy Wampler A DAY It’s dawning, when the sunrise rushes in the break of day, And the clouds in royal procession, roll westward on their way. Now behold the noon-day sun, gleaming in all its splendor, A warmth and happiness to us and all the world to render. lust watch the golden sunset at close of eventide; Ore the western horizon, its body seem to hide, But wait, for moments later on, moon and stars appear, Their light and constant guidance to shed upon us here ! As time runs into darkness, and we sleep and wake from rest; ' Tis another day, a dawning—Each one different from the rest. —Ruth Wade THE THUNDERSTORM And to think, just fifteen minutes ago the sky was a deep azure blue with white tleecy clouds skipping playfully about, while now a dark threatening gray hovered over us. It seemed that almost every second a streak of brilliant lightning Hashed across the darkened sky, followed by the crashing thunder. (ill sat alone in the opposite end of the rickety rowboat, with her head, ex¬ cepting one yellow pigtail, completely covered with her wool sweater. It seemed a miracle that I had kept the heavy oars from slipping over the sides in the turbulent waters of the lake. With the next deafening burst of thunder, came the pounding rain, which within a few moments had practically drenched us. Now and then, when a gust ot angry wind came from Jills’ direction. I could hear her frightened sobbing; I was too scared to cry ! I prayed that the rain and wind would let up and we could return to the lake shore. 1 was certain it the wind carried us farther out I would not have the strength to row us back. The rain seemed to let np slowly, little by little, and then, as if it were leasing ns, it would come down harder than ever. Now, as suddenly as the storm started, the wind died down, the clouds were swept from above, the rains receded, the thunder sounded no more, and the thunderstorm was over. —Betty Cook THE STONES It was nearly dark in the valley, but the sun still cast a greenish glow on the cemetery on the hill. 1 was attracted to the place of death for some strange reason. The old stones were sticking out of red, grassless earth like dead branches on a dead tree. A group of stones caught my attention. They were arranged in a circle as if trying to protect one another. The stones were old, very old, and I saw that the family name was Strange. There must have been at least thirty ancient stones, and I marveled at the size of the family. They were all marked singly with the name Strange and the date 1779. 1 stopped short in front of a brownish green stone in the center of the circle. There was something eerie about that stone and I stooped to see if there was any inscription. There was. It said, “Strange—As you are now once was I, as I am now, you soon will be. The other stones seemed to nod in agreement. Louise Davis SENIOR SNAPS 1. What a tangle! 2. Look at the birdie! 3. Gosli ! ! 4. How’d that happen?? 5. Pole sitter 6. Must be funny 7. Lone Ranger 8.

The program, ranging from songs of the Gay Nineties, to those of Modern Hit Tunes, con¬ sisted of Four Parts. Each sec¬ tion was appropriately introduced with a number sung by the Theme Song Chorus, which in¬ cluded Betty Wiseman, Peggy Ross, Betty Cook, Jayne Viel, Mar} 1 Alice Phillips, Jack Blacka, Glenn Fulwider, Ernest Hughes, Bobby Hughes, and Mickey Parrish. Part I, The Gay Nineties Act, with a cast attired in colorful costume of handle bar mustaches, top hats, and hoop skirts, pre¬ sented such old-timers as “The Man On The Flying Trapeze , The Band Played On, and Bicycle Built For Two.” Fea¬ tured as the man on the flying trapeze, was Preston Arehart; Don Chafin and Laurada Keis¬ ter, as Casey and his straw¬ berry blonde, and Billy Graham, and Jean Hodge, as Daisey and her suitor, added much interest to the songs presented. A fav¬ orite in this act was the barber¬ shop quartet singing, “Tavern In the Town,’’ with Bill Clem, Paul Almarode, Sonny Samples, and Marion Miller, who made up this foursome. Black-faced minstrels made a lively entrance for Part II, singing “Are You From Dixie”? Special features of this act included the “Harmony 1 wins”, Dorothy Mullenax and Ann O ' Brien, singing “Shortin’ Bread , Joe Harmon, soloing in “Lucky Ole Sun,” special music by the school band, and a dance act by Charles Acree. The slapstick boys presented David Meyerhoeffer as interlocutor, while Ray¬ mond Shull, Charles Acree, Bobby Green, Joe Harmon, Tommy Bartley, and Graham Pitsenberger were very much at home, as the endmen. In Part Ill, the cast took the audience to “Far Away Places”, featuring native dances of Hawaii, Spain, England, and America, (Sioux Scalp Dance). Larry Lyons sang an Irish song, to the accompaniment of an autoharp. The lighting and costuming deserved special mention in these scenes. The concluding Part IV, consisted of modern songs, opening with a trio, “Dreams”, sung by Mary A. Phillips, Jayne Viel, and Peggy Ross, was very colorful. “Skip To My Lou” and “An Old Fashioned Walk” concluded Part IV. The Grand Finale, with al l members of the cast, ended the show, singing, “Good Night, Dear Friends.” Mickey Parrish served as Master of Ceremonies, and Miss Peggy Smiley was the accompanist. The production was under the direction of Mrs. B. G. Heatwcle, and Miss Betty R. Kyle. LIBRARY Are you looking for a quiet place around Wilson to relax and read a good book, a magazine, or the newspaper? If so, the library, with approximately ten thousand books is just the place. This year our library has a new set-up. Miss Lina Hupman is still our cap¬ able librarian, but she is assisted by Mr. Ralph Lutz, who is now a full time worker in the library. He helps the students find the materials they need to sup¬ plement their work in other classes as well as to help them select books which they will enjoy reading. I’m sure we will all agree that our library under the efficient supervision ot Miss Lina Hupman and Mr. Ralph Lutz is one of the highlights of our school. OUR LUNCHROOMS The Seniors were really surprised when they came back to school last fall and found they had a cafeteria all their own. Of course, the main reason for add¬ ing the Senior Cafeteria was to take care of the growing enrollment so that stu¬ dents would not have to wait too long in line. About two hundred seniors and teachers have lunch here and twenty teachers are served breakfast and dinner. Approximately the same number of students are served in the lunch room as have been served in the past. Ten men and two women make up the personnel which prepares and serves the meals to the 900 people who eat each day. Gee! can you imagine how much food it takes to feed so many people? If you really wa nt to know just ask the boys and girls who take general Home Economics and they can tell you just about how much it costs to serve most of the menus too. And while we are on this subject let’s don’t forget the other boys and girls who help in serving our meals. Thank ' s, men and women, boys and girls for job well- done.

The staff was chosen last spring so this year everybody was to start work immediately. We welcomed two incoming Freshmen and two students from Middlebrook, to our group. Soliciting ads was not too easy as some of our best advertisers felt they could not afford to give large ads like they had been giving. Mrs. Sublette slightly dampened our spirits the first day, telling us this, but in spite of every handicap in soliciting, we felt that it was a success. To those students who had never been before it was an experience they will not forget for a long time. This is not the only time we have fun as our annual banquet which is held in the spring is one of the highlights of the year. We wish to thank both students and faculty for their full cooperation in this venture. Without it we could not have completed our task. We sincerely hope you will enjoy this issue of the Hornet’s Nest. The staff is composed of : Don ( hafin . ....Editor in Chief Ada Ann Blackwell . .. . Assistant Phil C hafin . .

Secretary In its second year of existence here at Wilson, the Wilson hcho, published by the Journalism class, has an entirely new staff. As this subject can be taken only one year, the staff is changed yearly and the paper is published along with learning in the class period. The first issue of the 1949 paper was ready for distribution October 24th and it has been published once every month during the rest of the year. There were many suggestions as to improvements that could he made, so with these suggestions in mind the Wilson Echo staff is endeavoring to publish a larger and better paper. The staff this year includes: Julia Demastus—Joe Harman. Editors Monk Miller . Business Manager Buddy Livick—Patsy Waite... .Circulation Manager Billy Graham—Joyce Chandler. News Editors Ann Harris—Ruth Benson. Social Editors Jayne Veil—Peggy O’Baugh. Feature Editors Lloyd Humphries—Tommy Bartley. ..S ' ports Editors Wm. Baber—Shirley Harper. Editorial Editors Betty Townsend—Ann Humphries. .Literary Editors Helen Davis—Lewis Rusmisell Art 81 Make-up Eds. Ada Glover—Betty Rankin. Advertising Eds. Mrs. Mildred Sublette. Faculty Advisor The Student Council, which is the student governing body of the school is composed of a representative from each homeroom and club and the four class presidents. Then because Middlebrook was new this year they were given the privilege of having two representatives. All members meet every Tuesday at alternate periods to talk over and discuss ways and means of bettering the school. The general S. C. A. assemblies which are held several times a year are also planned by the Student Council. Officers elected by the students in the spring of 1949 are Preston Arehart, President; Mickey Parrish, 1st V. Pres.; Ann Massincup, 2nd V. Pres. ; Betty Lou McCune, Secretary; and Grady Martin, Treasurer. Billy Graham reports the news. Faculty advisors are Miss Meade, Mrs. liering, Mr. Swartz and Mr. McChesney. Some of the responsibilities of this organization are to see that the school handbook is published and distributed, to handle and sponsor all drives for causes such as Red Cross and The March of Dimes, to see that committees are appointed to keep the infirmary, the washrooms and drinking fountains clean and attractive. All questions pertaining to school welfare are brought up here and the best method of solution is put into effect after the faculty has given its approval. Beia Glut) This year the officers of the Beta Club are: LAURADA KIESTER. MARY ALICE PHILLIPS . PEGGY MOORE . GRADY MARTIN . JACK BLACKA. MRS. THERESA LUTZ . . President . . Vice President . Secretary . Reporter Issistant Reporter . Sponsor Membership of Beta members is determined by scholarship, character, achievement and attitude. We encourage students to take part in many contests open to high school students during the year. Beta students are helped finan cially if they go to college. In the spring of each year there is a state convention held.

The chief objective of the Pep Club is to create better school spirit. Most of the posters in the halls are made and posted by the poster committee. Finances are a problem of any club, and this includes the Pep Club. They have solved this problem by opening the school Supplies store in the Social Center where paper and pencils are sold before school each morning. This organization is composed of approximately one-hundred-seventy Wilson students who are interested in singing. This group meets twice a week during Activities Period, and for those stu¬ dents who are not enrolled in a music class, the glee club provides a means of par¬ ticipation in a musical activity.

Sponsor One of our many club projects is to operate the Store in the Social Center for the pleasure of the students and teachers. Its candy or ice cream for many students after they eat lunch not to mention meeting girl friends and dancing. The D.E. Store which is under the management of Clarence Kirby with voluntary workers to help, runs on a very definite cash and earn - basis. Another successful club project this year was the National Association of Tuberculosis drive which was carried on bv the D.F. Club. Money was collected and bangles distributed by club members. The drive was very successful and club feels proud of the chance to have helped such a worthy cause. anquacje The Language Club is composed of those students who are taking Spanish, French or Latin or those who have completed two years of these languages.

Our project chosen for the year was “Good Grooming.” BOYS 4-H CLUB The hoys 4-H club of Wilson is made up of about 26 members from all classes. W e meet the first and fourth Mondays of every month in the conference room with Mr. R. L. (. offey our club leader and advisor. Each year there are new officers elected. The officers which were elected for this year are : Bill Hevener . Prsident Larry Arehart . Vice President Billy Custard . Secretary Herman Frazer . Reporter John Drumheller . Sergeant-of Arms Safety Club The Safety Club meets with Mr. J. W. Berry on the first Thursday of each month in the conference room. Only boys who have been chosen and approved by Mr. Gilkerson, Mr. Dehaven, Mr. Berry and the agriculture teachers and those boys who have proven their capability in operating buses are allowed to transport students to and from Wilson. These boys and their substitutes make up the greater part of the safety club. The purpose of the meetings is to present problems confronting the drivers and to discuss policies of safe and efficient bus operation. With the addition of Middlebrook our number of buses has increased to twenty-four this year. These buses transport approximately 1150 students to and from points in the county as far as Swoope, Greenville, Sherando, Harriston, and Middlebrook. Our bus service this year has been much better since the county garage was moved to Wilson. The bus driver can tell the mechanic what is wrong with his bus, thus getting more efficient service. If the bus does not need the services of the garage the driver parks it on a specified lot and fills out a daily gas report for Mr. Kirby, our bus attendant at Wilson. This year we have again posted lists of students and time schedules in our buses. These schedules are followed closely by the driver so that the student will know when to expect the bus. In addition to our duty as bus drivers we have given our services in patroling at football games and other activities. It has also been our aim to make the stu¬ dents at Wilson safety conscious. The officers who were elected by the club members are: David Meyerhoeffer . President Lloyd Humphreys . Vice President Charles Marks. Secretary Bill Wood . .c. Treasurer Pat Dudley .

McClure Printing Company THE RUNNELS PRESS COLLEGE ANNUALS AND CATALOGS.FINE ADVERTISING PRINTING 19 West Frederick St. Phone 5-9312 Staunton, Virginia Sometimes it is the nature of a craft to create an unbreakable tie between itself and the worker in that field, a heart attachment equal to lifetime devotion. One familiar example is PRINTING. Once editor, once compositor, or press¬ man catches the spirit of the shop, the spell is seldom broken. Like the odor of a camp fire, or a whiff of salt air, the beloved tang of printer’s ink, symboli¬ cal of a great profession, gets into your heart and soul. School Annuals, Magazines, Newspapers and Special Printing, all smack of it. It is an invisible link that binds all intelligence together. Tt is the stimulus for creation in business or romance. This craftsmanship, this devotion to service and alert¬ ness to business needs, has nourished and developed an enormous industrial vitality, and whichever way the course of the future runs, the printer will always find himself able to adapt his helpfulness to new opportunity.
