Four years ago, the Art Editors of the HCJIQNIETIS Nnsr designed Henry to be a guide through out the pages of our yearbook. llenry being quite the man about town, is not only a sports fan and participant, but he plays in the band, is an active member of several clubs, cooperates with outside civic organiza- tions, and he stands for all the ideals of Democracy. Although Henry is graduating this year and there are many events of importance taking place, he feels that a brief review of his younger days would help you to understand his accomplishments or failures, which ever the case may be. To begin with Henry, the Freshman, was a confused lad, and was lost in a world of new faces. He'had little knowledge of high school ways, and it seemed that everything went exactly backwards. However, after a few months the school system was running smoothly and Henry had lost his downcast expression, for now he had learned to run down the cor- ridors, run to lunch and he was able to make it to class by bell time. Henry really belong- ed! Before he knew it his Freshman year was history. He had passed those horrible exams and had qualified for the title of Sophisticated Sophomore. Henry, the Sophomore, did not have all that warehouse of fears to haunt him for he knew that he was a vital part of VVilson. As a Sophomore he concentrated on parties, better grades, pleasing his favorite teacher and he even began to give a little thought to his life's work. Time llew and Henry became a junior before he hardly had time to adjust himself to Sophomore activities. '- .Iunior Henry had not only become larger and more handsome, but his ideas and plans were constantly being changed. He even changed girl friends several times during the year. He enjoyed the vigorous athletic program but he also took time out to think about his future and how he could best serve his school and mankind. Henry enjoyed a trip to Williamslmurg with his fellow studentsg a time when lots of happy memories were stored up. He helped sponsor a lovely junior-Senior Prom for his older brothers and sisters, the Seniors, one of which he became in September of 1952. A picture of Henry today shows him a likable, earnest dignified Senior. Henry whose ambition is to obtain a diploma in june is the busiest, happiest, most anxious lad of which we know. He feels he has learned just about all there is to know and yet each day fhe finds he can add to his store of knowledge. Henry has been a good average student. His ideals were directed into the right channels by facility members and the administrators who were honestly interested in him as an individual. Never did Henry find teachers too busy to talk or work with him. Henry has about decided on his life's work which he looks forward to as that period of time beginning after june and graduation. We heartily congratulate Henry on all that he has done and we wish him the most suc- cessful future possible in whatever field of work he chooses. Good luck and Good-bye from Henry the Hornet.

DeHAVEN DEDICATION During the five years that he was with us at Wilson he worked hard to make Wilson Memorial a better school. He built the Athletic pro- gram from scratch to one of enviable heights. This sincere interest in the welfare of the school and the success of each individual student won for him the love, friendship and respect of every student. Before coming to Wilson he had attended Martinsburg High School, Shepherd State Teachers College, and West Virginia University. He had taught at Hedgeville High School, Hedgesville, West Virginia, served in the U. S. Navy and been principal of Spottswood High School. In 1947 he became the first assistant principal of Wilson Memorial High School and to our deep regret he decided to leave us in 1952. Our best wishes are with him as he continues his work as Director of Instruction in Prince William County. As a small token of our warm personal regard for one whom we shall always remember as a wonderful friend we respectfully dedicate the 1953 edition of THE HORNET,S NEST to CLAUDE E. DeHAVEN, a true and loyal supporter of truth, loyalty and fair play. Sincerely, The 1953 Staff of THE HORNET,S NEST. 5 D0 YOU REM MBER? Sensors dt L-mek Efecfnon Nam?

Can you really believe it? After two long, toilsome years we have finally gained the title of jolly Juniors. ln the fall of 1950 we arrived at Wilsirin filled with thoughts of the long corridors and 'fmean Teachers. We soon changed our minds, however, as we made new friends with our teachers and classmates alike. We managed to struggle through our Freshman year and soon found our- selves Sophisticated Sophomoresf' During our Sophomore year there were Pep Rallysn, dances and football and basketball games which were enjoyed by all. We are now participating in what we consider a highlight year in our high school life. During this year we have participated in many activities as partici- pants and spectators alike and are now awaiting the Junior-Senior From with antsicipation. Also we are looking forward to being Dignified Seniors in 1953- 19 4. OFFICERS Fred Diehl ...... .... . S'erretary Charlie Joseph .... .... P resident Sherwin Burtner . . . . .

We were those last year's Green lfreshinc-n hut now we were Sophisticated Sophoinores with a year's experience. Old friends were greeted and new classes, ruled over by new teachers, were attended. After the hustle and hustle of the first week, we finally settled down to a long year of hard work. Along with the hard work we had our pleasures too. NVL' enjoyed several dances during the year and the pep rallies were loads of fun for all. Many of our elass members were on the athletic teams for which the rest of us yelled. At an assemlaly, the first weeks of school, elass officers were elected and plans laid for the coming year. The assemblies this year were centered around the activities of our classes. They were not only educational but humorous and enjoyable. NNT have had fun hut most of all we are grateful for the education which we have received during the hours spent in the class rooms.

President Our lmrt Histor -Class of 1956 On September 2, 1952, about 400 frightened freshmen looked into the long, narrow corridors of Wilson for the first time. To some of us it seemeclthat we would never be able to get around these long, confused looking hallwavs with their mazes of rooms which all looked alike. With the help of Mr. MCChesney and the kind faculty, w-e soon found our way around through the corridors as Well as many of the short cuts. We would like to thank the upperclassmen for their help and also for the jokes they played on us-for we learned as a re- sult not to buy reserved seats to assemblies or front line places in the lunch lines. We have made considerable progress this year and we are looking forward to three more delightful years at VVilson. OUR ATJVISORS Bliss Rolston Mr, Hart Miss F.

Drivers are carefully chosen and trained to operate busses in a careful and efficient manner. These boys and their substitute drivers make up the greater part of the Safety Club, and to them falls the responsibility of safely transporting the students to and from Wilson. The purpose of the safety meetings is to discuss problems confronting the drivers and also to consider policies of safe and efficient operation of busses. There are twenty-six Q26j busses in our Wilson transportation system, which travel from points in the county as distant as Sherando, Harriston, Swoope, Greenville and McKinley. Mechancial difficulties are quickly and efficiently taken care of by the per- sonnel of the county garage, which is located on the Wilson grounds. Each year a list of students assigned to a bus and a time schedule is posted in each bus. Th-ese schedules are strictly adherred to by drivers and students know at exactly what time to expect the busses. X C ln addition to operating busses, drivers are also active in patrolling at foot- ball games and various other activities. The principal objective of the Safety Club is, and has always be-en, to make the entire student body at Wilson more safety-conscious.

BERRY, Head Coach GLENN VANNOY, .4ssisz'.ani Coach ROBERT WEEKS, Manager 112 Senior Basketball Players MARVIN DICKERSON The success of this year's team was due greatly to Captain Dickerson. He was a defensive standout and a good rebound man despite his height of 4'1l which is short for an inside man in basketball. This was Marvin's second year on the Var. and before that he played V. Basketball. Marvin, with his consistent play and fine back- board work, has given many opponents a bad evening. Since this is Marvin's last year at Wilson we wish him the best of everything in the coming years. BOBBY ODOM Bobby Odom has played basketball for four years at Wilson, playing J. V. ball his first two years and Varsity ball for two years. He is a fine ball handler and his team spirit and determination have made him invaluable to the team. BILL GIBSON This is Bill's first year of Basketball at Wilson, how- ever, .he has played for independent teams in th-e past. Bill is a big boy 6'2 tall and weighing 180 lbs. and hails from Stuarts Draft. CHARLES COFFMAN This is Charles' first year on the Varsity, however, in past years he has played for other teams and has been spok- en of by Coach Berry as one of his smartest ball players, basketball wise. 113 1952-53 Girls Varsity Basketball Team Standing: Bonnie Sue Coursey, Betty Lewis, Virginia VVilson, Pat VVright, Shirley Bridge Gayle Lewis, Nancy Cline, Mae Grove, Barbara Blakemore, llelores Steele.

It belongs to all of us, even to t.hose who are its guests, because democracy has so many interpretations within the pattern of our daily lives. Therefore, I speak for democracy, because I want the 'freedom that it rep- resents. l want the right to receive an education to my own liking, the right to choose a career, to travel wher-e I wish, and to live as my income permits. I want the right to individuality, the right to feel that my life will have been of some value in this great America. l want to worship God in my own faith, to be true to myself and to be a vital part of my own democratic government. I want to feel that I, as much as any one person, am responsible for this great gov- ernment which we have. I want to accept that responsibility with intelligence, and most of all gratitude, and to share in the work, duties, costs and benefits of democracy. Many great men .have given of their wisdom to establish this democracy of ours. Many brave battles have been fought and many men and women have given their very lives to keep it living for future generations. It is the duty then, yes, the responsibility, left us, The Youth of America, to extend Democracy to other countries of the world. But what will all this call for on the part of youth? lt will mean greater understanding of all peoples, deeper wisdom. and thinking, and greater sacrifices on the part of each individual. I, sincerely believe, then, that if the youth of America, for whom l speak will learn to live wisely and courageously, To those who have the ears and the wisdom to hear, Democracy will speak for itselff' 124 alllrs. Guffey's First Baseball Came It was about the first of September, the end of baseball season was draw- ing near and Mrs. Guffey had not seen the baseball game which her husband had promised to take her to see. She was getting anxious to see this so-called sport in which her husband was so interested so she decided that she would listen to a game over the radio instead of waiting for her husband to take her to a game and explain it. Maybe the radio announcer would explain it clear enough for her to understand. As she turned the radio on and tried station after station to find a baseball game, she thought to herself, I hope it isn't like the football game I saw last fall. Everything was going fine, the teams were all lined up, then some smart- alec ran up and kicked the ball and they fought over it the rest of the game . Finally she found the right station, the announcer began to speak, and to- day, folks, we bring to you the sandlot series play off. The Barefoot Buddies play the Hot Shot I-litters. They are two of the best teams west of the Ozark Mountains. We are now in the beginning of the 4th inning. The Buddies lead three to two. The pitcher winds up. There's the pitch and it's a hit, a ground ball out to the shortstop. For Pete's Sake thought Mrs. Guffey, has that announcer gone nuts. First he says its the fourth ending, now how could anything have four end- ings if it doesn't have but cne beginning. Next he said they wound up the pitch- er. I didn't know that they used tovs in that game. Then after that he said that a ground ball ran out to some guy they call shortstop, he must be short. I won- der what kind of animal that ground b.all is? I've heard of groundhog but not a ground ball. The game continued. The pitcher struck one rnan out, but during this time the man on first base stole second. After that a man hit a foul ball and the third baseman caught it. Then another nian hit a fly ball out to the center-fielder. Mrs. Guffey jumped up and in a furious rage cut the radio off. When Mr. Guffey came home from work, Mrs. Guffey met him at the door, still as mad as a hornet. I thought you said that baseball was a nice sport . She said with her voice getting louder with each word. To start with the radio announcer must .have been drunk the way he talked. Then those cruel playersg one of them hit a foul and the third baseman caught the bird. But the bird must have gotten even because later the announcer said foul strike one. And I don't blame the bird for striking that nian back either, One of the men must have liked the bird because after that man hit that foul the other man struck hint and knocked hirn out. Later th-en Slugger Slim hit a poor little ole fly out to the center fielder. Slugger v'as too much of a coward to hit something that could hit him back so he hit a poor defenseless fly. Then to top it all, as if that wasn't enough, some thief s'o.'e one of the bases and nobody even attempted to Call the police. After saying all of this Mrs. Guffey was out of breath, so Mr. Guffey got a chance to talk. After this, he said, I think you had better stick to your knitting. WADE WILLS 125 My Fate Oh, woe is mel Oh, grumble and groan! The village banker won't give me a loan, Oh, what have l done to deserve this fate? To top this off I broke our gate. Oh, dear how sorry I am for me, I chopped down our dear old apple tree. My dear mother boxed good my ears She seemed to be pleased by my many tears. Oh, me what have I done now? I failed my test. Oh, boy! And howl Poor old dumb and stupid me, What will I do now? Oh gee! Me, oh my! Oh moang Oh cryl What shall I do now? I'd rather die To meet this terrible fate Of this, my horrible blind date. BECKY RoADcAP P1-:RroD 4 Our Janitor If you ever went to Wilson, in the evening after school, What you saw was Dollbaby, working like a fool. He cleans the floors of Wilson, and the cobwebs from the wall, liven though he is a man, he hardly seems like one at all. He's short and cute but handsome, and has dark curly hair. His hands are full of blisters from scrubbing here and there. But even if he has quit this job, and someone has taken his place, We will always remember the work he has done and the smile he wor-e on his face. JOYCE BLACKA 126 Why Is Christmas? It was choir practice night and ther-e was a feeling of uneasiness among the many choir members, for they all knew of the bitterness which had developed between Judith and Betty. Mr. Mackey, their enthusiastic director, had given the beautiful solo part in the Christmas pageant to Judith, and Betty having built her hopes high, felt that she, certainly could do it better. As Mr. Mackey stood before th-e chattering choir, he sensed this and over- heard some very harsh words. He was very thoughtful for a few minutes. THE CHRIST CHILD SAT AMONG THEM THINKING TO HIM- SELF, IS THIS WHY THEY CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS? IS THIS WHY THEY CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY? CERTAINLY THIS DOES' NOT BRING JOY TO MEN OR TO ME . Then Mr. Mackey said, Let us open our rehearsal tonight with a word of prayer. 'Our loving Father, who sent Thy son on this celebrated day to bring joy to us, help us to see why we are giving this programg to forget our petty thoughts and selfish worries. Help us to put our whole selves into this music to teach others why there is a Christmas. Make us ashamed of our hate, jealousies and selfishness, not only during this season, but throughout the whole year. In thy name we make our prayer, Amen' . As Mr. Mackey closed his prayer and raised his hand for the opening meas- ure to begin, a calmness settled over the choir and Betty looked at Judith and smiled. Thus the practice began with a true interpretation. , THE CHRIST CHILD GAVE A NOD OF SATISFACTION AND MOVED DOWN THE CENTER AISLE AND WENT OUT UNDER THE SHINING STARS. THERE AS IN THE CHURCH, HE FOUND PEACE AND THE TRUE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS. JANET F. CLINE 127 PRAYERS The following prayers were written by VVilson students and selected as the two best ones in the Hlivery Light A Prayer For Peace contest. Gracious Father, as our lights go on tonight, we bow in humble prayer to pray for peace. May new inspiration enter the hearts of the leaders and that through love this terror can be abolished. Let the hills that are now stained with blood become as a shining light to all the world. May the warring cannons and t.he cries of the wounded cease forever. Father we pray that every man can soon lay down his armor and that there will be peace on earth. As our lights go on tonight this is our prayer for peace. First Place Wi1111er Lousy: CAsoN VVe bow our heads in prayer tonight llefore this Christmas candle-light And pray that in the hearts of men A change will come that will begin Another better answer to The problem that is faced anew. Oh God, we pray that war will cease. Let hearts be filled with love and peace. Let every person understand That he must give a helping hand And want to aid in every way To make a better world today. Sceond Place Wiizizcr BETTY JEAN LEATHERMAN 128 Santa's Ninth Reindeer But Grandaddy, I know that Santa has only eight reindeer, prot-ested little johnny, who was sitting on his grandfather's knee. Why our teacher read us about 'THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS' and it had the names of the reindeer , continued the little six year old. I know, I know, said the oldster with a twinkle in his eye, but a lot of you young'uns ain't never heard of Snow-flake, Santa's ninth reindeer. Why I remember when I was a child we used to try and stay awake all night on Christ- mas eve, to see if we could se-e Santa and his reindeer and especially Snow-flake. Cf course, the Sandman always came and put us to sleep before Santa came but one night I woke up just as Santa was leaving and lo! and behold! I did see one reindeer which was snowfwhite and I knew then that Santa really did have a ninth reindeer. Why, I'd been hearing about Snow Flake all my life, but I didn't believe it until I saw him. But now young fellow, you'd better climb down off my knee and get ready for bed if you want to get up early and see what Santa has left for you. Oh! Please tell me about Snow-flake now said johnny. It isnit late any- way. Tomorrow's Christmas day and I wonyt have to go to school. Settle down in my lap and I'll light my pipe and we'll be ready to start. Well, long,long ago, started the old man, in the North Pole country lived Santa Clause with his wife and two little children, Willy and Susie. Santa was very busy and had a team of eight reindeer to pull his sleigh. Now. some people think the reindeer have only to pull Santa's sleigh at Christmas-time, but these people are all wrong because Donner, Blitxen, Comet, and all the other reindeer are busy almost all the time hauling supplies to Santa's helpers and are busy al- most all the time with jobs which are necessary in making Christmas a success. Well sir! on-e year Comet got sick about a month before Christmas and Santa was really in a jam! He just had to have eight reindeer to pull the heavy sleigh, and Comet didn't seem to be getting any better. Things really looked dark indeed! One day Santa was sitting in his office, thinking how he was to get another reindeer, when little VVilly and Susie burst into the room shouting, Daddy, Daddy! we just found the cutest reindeer out in a snow-drift behind the house. He's so cold and wetg can't we bring him in the house?,' Why yes indeed, said Santa Clause, forgetting his own troubles for a moment and thinking only of the poor little reindeer. The children pushed and shoved the little reindeer, and with Santa leading, they finally brought him into the warmth of the house. Why, he looks just lik-e a little snow-flake said little Willy, w.hen all the snow had dried off the little reindeer and they could see that he was not brown as most of his relatives but snow-white instead. And Snow-flake it was from that day on, as the little reindeer never changed his color but always remained as white as the snow. If he was just a big reindeer, maybe he could help pull the sleigh said Santa. But he is awfully little . Oh, Daddy! Please let him try to pull the 129 sleigh in Cometis place , pleaded little Willy. 'tHe isn't too little and anyway he looks strong for his size. Santa consented and sure enougn Snow-flake was able to pull the sleigh and when Christmas morning came all the toys had been delivered and Santa was back at the North Pole. Little Willy and Susie had Snow-flake for a Christmas present and he became their very own pet to play with except for the times when one of the regular reindeer was sick and Santa had to use him to help pull the sleigh. So 'lohhny if you happen to see Santa with one of his reindeer snow white some Christmas night ...... . But with this unfinished sentence the old man looked down in his arms where he had felt the sleepy head of Johnny fall, full of dreams of Christmas toys and a white reindeer named Snow-flake. FRED DIEHL The Best Kind of A Gift Susan looked at her wristwatch, then checked it with the clock on the mantel- piece. lt was quarter till three. Allan should have called over an hour ago. She glanced at the telephone, gently reproachful at its silence. Take it easy, she told herself. Nothing must upset you today, because today is your twenty-first birthday, and birthdays should be party days, gay daysu. Her presents lay on the couch where she had dumped them wh-en she came home from the office this afternoon. She gazed at them indifferentlyg because tonight would come something from him. At least, she hoped so. Why not? She had known Allan long enough to have proven to him ho-w she felt. Everything she could, she did to please him. Wh-en he allowed a frown to disturb his handsome face and said, I don't like you in green, she put aside the clothes in color she loved and bought dresses in shades of blue, his favorite color. When he reached out and unpinned the cluster of honey curls massed like a little bunch of daffodils on top of her head, she let it remain fallen around her shoulders. It wasn't as neat, but he liked it so. And she had given up perfume, which she loved, because he hated the smell of it. He will call, she comforted herself, even if it wasn't at the time he Promised. True, he hardly ever did keep his promise, calling hours later, or sometimes, not at all. But she always forgave him. The real-estate business had such irregular .hours, driving around showing people different houses. Besides he always ex- plained it away with such a charming smile that her annoyance melted like butter before the warmth of it. There was a time she had waited for him to take her to dinner and the theater, waited until she ended up eating cold sandwiches off the kitchen table, alone. Darling, he explained afterwards, it was one of those unexpected things again. .Last minute some people came to town looking for a house. Forgive? His eyes pleaded, yet he looked as confident as a spoiled child who has done wrong but knows his mother won't punish him. 130 For once her anger hadn't melted but remained a solid lump in her throat, There's always the telephone, you know, Allan. If you love me, you should be more considerate. All you have to do is to pick up the receiver and. . But he caught her to him with a laugh and kissed her. You're cute when you get mad. Even your freckles get mad. Of course, I love you, darling. Very well, Susan now thought, prove it! Call soon! Don't keep me wait- ing like this. And let the present you promised be the one I expected from the man who claims he loves me. 'fIt doesn't have to be a large diamond-it could even come from the dime store-and I'd let you slip it on my finger and it would be a token, the promise of a life together. The telephone was silent. I should do somethingf' Susan thought, instead of sitting here biting my nails. Go ahead, she told herself, open the presents, or they'll start playing incid-ental music for you. All alone by the telephone. She forced herself to rise and turn away. It would ring, whether she watch- ed it or not. Susan opened the packages, thinking what a grand bunch they were down at the office. Three pairs of nylons from Muriel, the switchboard girl, a wispy chiffon nightgown from Kay and Sarah who wrote on the card, you can throw the old red flannels away now. Susan smiled. The dear sillies. Then a small package-perfume from Roy Branders, the magazine artist. She put it down gently, feeling a pang at his thoughtfulness. Roy remembered that she loved perfume. Roy was nice. In ifact, if it wasn't for Allan, Susan thought, she would certainly have encouraged Roy. Everytime h-e passed her desk, Roy paused, his gray eyes lighting with hope, I got tickets for a play this week- end .... he would say shyly. But Susan would have to shake her head and say, Thanks, Roy, I'm afraid I can't go with you. Roy would look at his feet and mumble, Guess I'm out of the running, huh, Susan? And she had to nod gently, I'm afraid so, Roy. But thanks just the samef, She put away her presents and slammed the dresser drawer in sudden anger. She rehearsed what she wo-uld say. Look h-ere, Allan, I've given up a lot of things for you, and a really very nice guy down at the office. It's time. . It was overtime! Shadows were creeping. across the floor, reaching out with long, hushed fingers to point at the lonely figure lurking near the phone. Still hopeful, Susan picked up the phone. The wire was long enough to extend to the bathroom. She placed in on the littl-e stool next to the tub. But still it didn't ring, nor did it while she was dressing. Maybe he was tied up and would drop in without calling. We'll have dinner at the Peacock Room to celebrate your birthday, Allan had said. Right now, Susan thought, she would settle for a cafeteria, if he'd only show his handsome face. Her hair freshly combed straight down, her blue dress, bluer for the twlight, 131 she sat in a chair struggling with her pride. She had never called him before, but this was not time for pride. There could be that one chance in a million that something was wrong. His sister's voice answered. After a moments hesitation, Susan asked for Allan. Oh, Allan, was here. He came home about an hour ago. He Chang-ed his clothes and left. Did he say where he was going? Susan asked feeling suddenly bold. He did mention a party tonight. Who shall I say is calling? Oh, Susan said slowly, never mind. Thank you. Sh-e felt suddenly cold and shivered. Allan had not mentioned a party to her. The least he could have done was call and break the date. Susan looked at the clock. 'lt was seven-thirty. How often, in the past year, had he lied to her? She didn,t want to know. She got up and went to her bedroom. She removed her blue dress and put on a green silk that clung to her body softly, the embrace of an old friend. Then she raised the honey hair from her shoulders, pinning it high on her head. She was about to leave wh-en the phone rang. She let it ring several times, then answered. Darling, Allan said, 'Tm so sorry. l'm still at the Branford place. This couple can't seem to make up their minds about buying. Look honey, it will take at least an hour to drive back to town. Suppose T drop over tomorrow. Hello, are you still there? UGO on, l'm listening. And I have such a nice present for you! I don't think l'll take it, Allan. You see, l just got the best kind of a birth- day gift. What do you mean? The perfect present, Susan said calmly, 'lllve given me back to myselflv RUBY NUL1KOI.S 1.52 WAT: fs T In E BEST ALL AROUND Joyce Orner S. E.

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 printerls ink, symboli- cal of a great profession, gets into your .heart and soul. School Annuals, Magazines, Newspapers and Special Printing, all smack of it. lt is an invisible link that binds all intelligence together. lt is the stimulus for creation in business or romanee. 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.
