The memories we have been privileged to gather during these years at Wilson have been due to your guidance, your efforts and your never-failing confidence in us—even when our own confidence faltered. Though we have grown in stature wisdom and knowl¬ edge through our experiences here, our greatest reward has been that of appreciation—our deep and lasting appreciation to you educators who have served our school, Wilson Memorial High School, since its beginning in 1947. These teachers started teaching at Wilson in September, 1947 and have taught here ever since, with the exception of Mrs. Layman, who took several years leave of absence. Mr. C. H. Batson Mrs. Mildred S. Black Mrs. Virginia Crute Miss Lillian Eisenberg Mr. N. Carroll Guynn Mr. B. G. Heatwole Mrs. Virginia R. Layman Mr. Jesse R. Ridgeway Mrs. Jessie R. Shomo It is with a real sense of pride that we, the Staff of the 1963 HORNET ' S NEST, pay special tribute to those we have learned to know as friends and devoted servants of education in dedicating this the sixteenth edition of THE HORNET’S NEST.

This the sixteenth volume of the HOHNET’S NEST is the result of many pressure-filled days and long nightmares at night. Work, work and more work under pressure, irritation and success, frustrations and real achievement against great odds, all are represented in the pages of this book. Sales, ads, pictures, copy, layouts, and deadlines often caused harsh words and wrecked nerves. However, the staff was finally saved from complete nervous wrecks and the 1963 HORNET’S NEST became tbe book you have in your hand. We have tried to recall for you the highlights of the school year in hopes that each individual will be able to relive those events which were particularly important and significant for him.

Monger, principal, a capable leader who under¬ stands youth and their numer¬ ous problems in a whirlwind, pressured society. These past five years have been filled with concern, understanding and achievement for Wilson, and for each in¬ dividual student and teacher. It is the hope of all Wil- sonites that Mr. Monger will continue in his present posi¬ tion during the years to come as Wilson continues its prog¬ ress in education. ' Ou r standards are set; our goal is in view, and our leader is in charge. ' ’ MR. HUBERT W. MONGER Our Assistant Principal and Athletic Director is a very busy person—taking care of his administrative duties and planning a well balanced, interesting and educational program for all students from the 8th through the 12 grades. Mr. Booker has unselfishly and willingly given his time and efforts to the develop¬ ment and improvement of Wilson ' s athletic program. The welfare and good of the students are always topside in his planning. We hope Mr. Booker will continue as Assistant Principal and Director of Athletics for many more years. MR. A.

It might he fun to see all these expensive de¬ vices in operation—but a television set never gets thirsty, never gets in on ‘■get-togethers”—so who wants a television!

Riding a school bus is one of the greatest teach¬ ers in the world. BELLS! A long, a short and a long blast! Again! and Again! A Civil Defense drill—maybe we can go home? Phooey! It was only a regular drill. Back to classes! Auto Mechanics is one of the most popular courses offered at the Technical School. Juniors and Seniors find this interesting and profitable work. Industrial Arts always is a favorite with the boys as it is with Mr. Batson, the in¬ structor. This is the place of the most amazing sights in the world. Dancing, they call it but it resembles the antics of the wildest tribe in Africa fused with the energy of atomic warfare. Fun, though!

Standing: Douglas Oliver Bosserman, Treasurer and Richard Lee Wagner, President. The Senior Sponsors: Miss Margaret Holland and Mrs. Violet Mabry. “We make up in might, what we lack in number.” Because of the adoption of an eight grade system in Augusta County in 1958 our class is extremely small; made up mostly of those of us who planned (and some who didn’t) a five year program and those who came to us from other schools after having the eighth grade. Some of the highlights of the year have been: class elections, balloting for The Senior Hall of Fame, choosing the cast for “Ten Little Indians”, the senior play, and then the fine performances on March 22 23, “Our Trip”, and the well planned final exercises, to say nothing of the lovely Junior- Senior Prom. As we go our various ways these and many other wonderful things about our senior year will always be in our memory and in our hearts. 16 Senior Class CHERYL ANITA BARGER “Cheryl” Route 1 Fishersville, Virginia “Jolly — yet serious; Fun-loving — yet sincere.” Activities: J.

As a student organization, it enjoys self-government under adult counsel and guidance. The FFA , as it is com¬ monly known, has as its purpose to instill in the hearts of young farm boys a desire to perform more efficient agricultural practices, to contribute to the bet¬ terment of a local community and to live a more satisfying farm home life.

Mr. Ridgeway is the organizer and sponsor of the club. He is assisted by the various science teachers, who supervise those students whose interests lie in their field of teaching. The Science Club is open to all who have an interest in science. Although there are no prerequisites, it is preferred that those who desire to be in an ad¬ vanced club be enrolled in the suitable course. Despite our small numbers, we should have a profitable year. Our main hindrance is lack of sufficient activity time, as our activities period was re¬ duced this year. We are also hindered because our science teachers do not have sufficient time to work with us. President . Jack Copper Vice President . Sue Coyner Secretary-Treasurer .

WE, of the 1963 Hornet’s Nest, pay tribute to an outstanding athlete and congratulate him for giving of his talents and his best efforts while he was a student at Wilson.

A rich, red velveteen skirt, decorated with frothy angel’s hair, was carefully wrapped around the base of the tree. I he Christmas packages were brought from their hiding places and the children proudly displayed their handiwork. The pink, red and green ribbons clashed with the silver and gold wrapping paper, but only added to the brightness and splendor of the festivity. Father carried boxes and boxes of Christmas balls down from the attic and the decorating began. The red electric lights were strung on first. They blinked on and off in rhythm with the children’s joyful heartbeats, Then the red satin balls were hung on the proper boughs. All was completed. The new aluminum Christmas tree tingled with pride and confidence in its new tradition of replacing the snow-covered ever-green, and the red, satiny balls danced with merriment. Karen Hewitt Combat A soldier stands in a field, his rifle at the ready, fie is strangely still, unmoving. There are other soldiers in a transport which moves about in an aimless manner. Backward, forward, sometimes seeming to float over the white ground which is covered with strange black markings. The soldiers in the transport are also immobile, frozen in attitudes of combat. Only the driver is in the proper position. A thin, blue-grey vapor swirls about the lone soldier. Suddenly he is lifted into the air and vanishes. The ominous vapor drifts on, creating a haze about the transport, which rises into the air, dumping the soldiers onto the ground, where they lie motionless. Then they too, are lifted from view. The field is bare. “1 hope my pipe doesn ' t bother you, Billy.” “That’s all right, Dad. I was just getting my soldiers off your newspaper.” Maken Dodge A Road Leads In Two Directions A dirt road, listless and tired, winds its way under the shadows cast by swaying trees. Deep wounds, left by unsympathetic cars, accuse the traveler of a grave injustice. They have been only partially healed by Nature’s wi nd and rain. It is a deserted road leading to a still more deserted house. This house once echoed with laughter and shrill, pulsating voices. It formerly distinguished each occupant by his touch or footsteps and learned to creak and sway in rhythm with children’s singing voices. It is a house that once was occupied and alive, but now is deserted and dead. It is a house that has lost its owners and therefore lost its hope for life. A road leading to it has no future. But even a deserted road leads in two directions. Linda Coleman 126 The Cat The wind blew gently through the tall crimson trees as leaf after leal dropped slowly to the ground. Dying Mowers surrounded the green pond. The bright sun shone down on the big yellow cat as he walked slowly across the huge lawn. Sawdust from the Mower bed was entangled in his long sott fur. Hi green eyes, barely opened, stared ahead unconcerned. Suddenly his eyes widened and his ears stood up. Ilis whiskers and nose began to twitch. He dropped quickly to the ground and crouched there as if he were dead. A short distance in front of him sat a beautiful male blue jay, completely unaware of the cat ' s presence. The blue jay pranced back and forth looking on the ground for food. The cat lay still watching the bird for a while. Gradually he began to move. Inch by inch he came closer and closer, his soft paws silently touching the ground with each step. Suddenly a blurred Mash of yellow whizzed through the air and landed in exactly the spot where the bird was. The next thing visible was the cat walking proudly across the lawn with the blue jay between his teeth. For a while lie strutted back and forth showing off his treasure. Then he dropped it on the ground and stood over it, looking as if he were enjoying its misery. The bird was still alive, but before it could regain enough courage to move, the cat pounced on it again. For a while he sat there with the bird under his paw. Then he stood up and walked a short distance away, leaving the bird there. He gazed at it for a moment and then began moving slowly toward it as if he were catching it for the first time. When he was only an inch away the bird suddenly regained its courage and shot straight into the air. The surprised cat jumped two feet off the ground, only to find the bird just out of his reach. A cloud darkened the sun, and in the shadows sat the big cat with a drooped head and a thoroughly disappointed expression on his face. Ruth Thomson The Fly I sit in study hall watching a small fly on a seemingly aimless mission. The deathlike silence gives way to his incessant buzzing. From whence came this beast and for what purpose? Was he perhaps sent to disturb my thoughts as I sit searching my soul for one solitary paragraph ? Amusing as you are, small friend, I grow tired of your ineffectual antics. With the dexterity acquired through many years of practice, I shall sweep you from the air and send you to a sure death beneath my foot. Enjoy life, small insect, for surely you will die. Van Thomas A Wreath for Christmas The full moon softly illuminated the snow, and a morning star shone brightly as a car drove into the driveway. It was two o’clock Christmas morning. A tall man got out of the car, his body shaking more than the cold early morning temperature warranted. He spoke to himself in a broken voice. “Gone! Gone—just like that! No warning! Gone!” Slowly he went to the door, and, as he unlocked it, he noticed a large holly wreath with shiny glass decorations 127 gleaming in the moon light. “She must have put it there yesterday,” he thought. I’d never noticed it before.” He entered and closed the door, relocked it, and softly walked toward his room. A light suddenly appeared in one of the rooms, and a child’s footsteps tripped to the door. “Daddy?” the child called. “Go back to sleep, Billy. It ' s too early for you to be up.” “But Daddy, can I see if Santa Claus has come, please? 1 won’t stay long.” “O.K., Billy. Since it ' s Christmas, I guess it will be all right.” Almost instantly the boy was beside the tree. “Come quick, Daddy. Look at the train Santa Claus brought me. It’s just like the one I told you and Mommy I wanted. Can 1 play with it now? Look here! A real engineer’s suit, too. Just wait ’til Mommy sees this!” “Billy, you ' ll have to go to bed now.” “Come on, Daddy. Can I get Mommy? I bet she’ll want to see what Santa Claus brought me.” “Billy, go to bed l “Yes, sir.” He waited until he saw the light in the boy’s room go out. Then slowly walking over to the table, he picked up a snapshot. He tried to fight back the tears, but could not. Drying his eyes he put the snapshot down and walked to the telephone. Ellen?”, he called. Yes? Jim, I ’m awfully sorry about it....When you called from the hospital, I couldn’t believe it....Sure I ' ll be glad to keep him for you.... Good by.” He was fixing breakfast when he heard the footsteps again. “What’s wrong, Daddy? Where’s Mommy?” “Nothing’s wrong, Billy. Go get dressed.” “But where’s Mommy?” “Your Mother has gone away, Billy. Now hurry and get dressed; breakfast is almost ready. We’ll open our packages after breakfast.” Soon they were beside the tree. “You open yours first, Billy.” Watching his son enthusiastically tear through the wrappings and carefully inspect each gift brought a smile to his drawn face. “Look at all the toys and games I have ! Now you open yours.” He had opened most of his gifts before coming to a small package labeled “To Jim....From Mary”. His hand trembled as he put the package down unopened. “Daddy, something is wrong. What is it?” Nothing’s wrong, Billy. How would you like to go to visit Aunt Ellen? You can take some of your toys and play with Benny and Joe. “That would be swell, Daddy. Can I take my train, too? “No, but you might take your engineer’s suit. Run get your hat and coat. We’ll be going in a few minutes.” A few minutes later, the boy, grinning happily, ran to the car with as many of his new toys and games as he could carry. His father stopped at the door a moment and looked at the wreath. Then, with a shaking hand, he took it down and replaced it with another. Lyle Campbell 128 An’ All That Stuff A kiss is begun by carnivorous peoples Who pucker their lips to resemble blunt steeples. The is thni sounded, the heads move together But don’t be surprised it it tastes like old leather. 1 do not mean to discourage emotion But to keep tasting leather takes quite a devotion. Now tell, I ask you, is indulgence in such Used only bv people whose sense is touch ? It isn’t good logic to think this is right For why should most kissing be done when it’s night ? The hug, a more round-about way of showing you care, Requires extra muscle but’s easy on air. That huggin’ don’t work is a skeptical notion, It takes ahold faster than most any potion. It serves as a means of banishing cold And it works for the meek as well as the bold. In this way hugging for everyone is good For it keeps us well heated without wasting wood. But friends, let me tell you, when courtin’ down South, Before you start kissing, please wipe off your mouth. And never start huggin’ till both hands are free, ’Cause you just might finish by huggin’ a tree. John Forrer A Study The desk was old and worn, as w as the woman sitting behind it. Wisps of fine gray hair hung down over her wrinkled forehead. Her drab cotton dress, worn shabby with age, hung limply about her thin shoulders. She sat motionless, her frail hands resting on the desk top, staring at the dusty picture in front of her. Slowly her eyes dropped to yesterday’s newspaper and she re-read her son’s obituary. Taffy Copper 129 An Appreciation in Solitude Sandy Point was all mine except for a few lazy sea gulls floating aimlessly through the air, and the shrewd jellyfish awaiting their next victim. Black, heavy clouds were forming over-head, and started a disturbance in my smooth, glassy sea. Cool drops of water were beginning to fall and hit the water, making little splashes. Far away I could see vacationers packing their picnic baskets and hurrying to protecting coves. As I walked along further, scuffing the wet sand with my bare feet, 1 watched my angry sea destroy the sand castles as if in an ancient battle. The cunning jellyfish were now grouped together, clinging for survival against the over-powering waves. Then it stopped as suddenly as it had begun. 1 glanced up to a tranquil sky and saw a brilliant, blinding sun encircled by a heavenly array of colors and enchantment. Once more my sea was a peaceful and content haven for thousands of creatures. Karen Hewitt The Good Old Days When 1 was younger I thought the James River, where it forks with the Maury, was one of the loveliest spots in Virginia. I remembered it with the water flowing silently between fragrant woodsy banks, reflecting a clear, blue sky. In the crystaline water along the banks one could see small minnows flitting to and fro in search of food. Farther out the smooth current broke thunderously over jagged, black rocks. The banks were covered with a luxuriant growth of deep, green grass. Birds sang cheerfully in the trees, and bees buzzed lazily among the grass blades. I returned to the James at the beginning of last summer to find that my memory had played a trick on my unsuspecting subconscious. The river still flowed silently between wooded banks, but the flowery odor I remembered had been replaced by the swampy smell of decaying wood and sticky, black mud. The water reflecting the clear blue sky was so dingy as to almost obscure the hordes of minnows dashing hungrily about. Far out in the stream an occasional rock sent up a spray of yellow foam. Nor was the grass so deep and green as 1 had remembered. It grew in sparse bunches in the sand beneath the twisted sassafras and live oaks. Bees still buzzed lazily, but I’d forgotten that they were sweat bees. The countless songbirds I remembered were gone. In their stead a lone sparrow, left over from the winter, sat on a piece of drift wood and let out an occasional mournful chirp. Maken Dodge 130 Dead? The room was dimly lit by a small lamp. The young girl sat beside the table reading a magazine, but her mind was not on what she was reading. She had been staring at the same page for a half hour. The clock struck eleven, two hours after her father was to have returned home. He had been out of town for the past week and was supposed to come home this weekend to visit his family before completing his two weeks trip. His plane was to arrive in Gatlinburg, a neighboring town, at 8:00 p.m. and from there a company car would bring him home. The girl kept wondering what had happened. His plane has probably been delayed, she thought, or maybe they had ear trouble on the zaay from the airport. She could hear the radio playing in the adjoining room. Her mother was waiting up for him as usual. Her brother had not arrived home from his date yet. Finally she decided she wouldn’t wait any longer. Surety he will be home shortly. She undressed and went to bed. But she didn’t sleep very soundly. It seemed as if she had been lying awake for hours when she heard someone crying in the other room. She realized that her mother was trying to talk to someone on the phone. She got out of bed quickly and rushed to the hall where her brother was trying to comfort her mother. “What’s wrong? What’s happened?” she asked, fearing the worst. With a voice full of sadness and fear her brother answered, “Daddy’s plane is missing. They believe it has crashed.” “Crashed?” she echoed in a frightened voice. “His plane, crashed?” She stared at her brother with a blank expression. It was minutes before she received the full impact of what he had said. Then she realized that he was trying to explain the details to her. All the radio announcer had said was that the plane was missing. It had not been found or heard from yet. No passenger list had been given. He could have missed the plane, she thought, but surely he would have called. Her mother couldn’t be quieted. One of the neighbors was making some phone calls trying to find out if he were definitely a passenger on the missing plane. The girl went into the living room and sat down. She stared at the ceiling. Her mind seemed to have gone blank. Plane crashed, dead — dead? She sat there all morning, unaware of the neighbors who had come to comfort them. There were voices all through the house and many people spoke to her, but she heard none of them. The plane must have crashed, she thought, but there’s still hope that he wasn ' t on it or that he has survived. I mustn’t give up hope yet. That’s all have now. Someone touched her shoulders. “Kay, do you want something for lunch ?” a voice asked. She followed the neighbor into the kitchen, almost as if she were tied to a leash. She sat down at the table and ate something. It had no taste. Some¬ where in the distance she heard voices and a radio announcer: “The list of passengers on the missing Piedmont Airlines plane is as follows There were many names but she recognized none of them until: “Steve O. Pence, employee of E. I. Du Pont... She heard no more. Of course he’s on it. knew that. But another small thread of hope had died. She was in a trance the rest of the afternoon. There were a few reports of the plane being sighted but somehow she knew they were false. She went to bed late that night, but she didn’t sleep. She lay there in the dark room staring into space. She couldn’t believe this was actually happening to her. In the morning she sat in the kitchen by her radio. People were coming and going until about 10:00. Then most of them went to church and the house was quiet. There were only the family and a few relatives. 131 It seemed as if she sat there for hours. Then the radio announcer said that the plane had been spotted on the Smoky Mountains just outside Gatlinburg. The report was announced as official. The girl realized that it wouldn’t be long until she would know for sure. Her heart skipped a few beats as her hope grew. Then came another report. The rescue squads had reached the site of the crash. There was only one survivor! Out of twenty-seven passengers there was only one survivor ! Her hopes dropped. Only one. But it must be Daddy. It has to be. “Oh God,” she prayed, “Let it be Daddy.” She waited. Then the announcer’s voice tilled the room: “Identification of the sole survivor of the Piedmont plane crash has been confirmed. He is Boyd S. Hughes of Knoxville.” Suddenly tears began to stream down the girl’s face. She ran to her room and buried her head in her pillow. Her sobs could be heard throughout the house. He’s dead. My father is dead! Ruth Tomson The Puppet The room was small and meagerly furnished. A desk and chair occupied one corner and the walls were bare, save for a clock and two shelves, one supporting a set of Britannica, an atlas, and a few classics, and the other holding several trophies and a frame of medals and ribbons. The three largest trophies depicted a football, a basketball player poised for a shot, and an athlete straining at the starting blocks, waiting for the starting gun. Each bore the same inscrip¬ tion : “State Champions”. A desk lamp lit the room, throwing grotesque shadows on the wall. A youth sat at the desk, staring at the problem before him. “Three times I ' ve worked that problem,” he thought, “and what do l have? Three different answers. This is close, but not enough to count. I’ll try once more. Seven thirty. Three quarters of an hour and one problem done. That means nine more trig problems and the other subjects besides. Won’t they ever let up ? I’ll work on these till eight. With all the back work I have, a few more problems won’t hurt. I’ve got to get on those other books. Me, Bob Alder, ‘first straight A student in Clementsville High history’, ‘most likely to succeed’, ‘only obvious candidate for valedictorian’, and the best grade I ' ve gotten this six weeks is a C-f-. That 67% in English is going to hurt. I can see my report now, with a 13 and a little note below, ‘Grade due to low test grade and poor homework. I know Bob can do better.’ Won’t they ever let up? Let’s see: A equals Id, B equals 4.2, and C equals 7. Find A, B, and C.” Suddenly he heard a knock at the door. “Hey Bob,” his brother called, “the game begins in five minutes. Want to listen?” “No. I’ve got enough trouble without it.” O. K., have your fun. I’m listening.” Soon he could hear the muffled voice of the sportscaster from the next room. “Well fans, this should be a thriller. Clementsville is rated best in the 132 state, but, with Bob Alder gone, Howetton should give them a real battle. 1 repeat. Bob Alder has quit the team. No one seems to know why; he just quit. Turn that radio down!, he shouted. Heavy footsteps echoed in the hall, and he heard the ' door to the next room open. “Jimmy,” he heard his father say, “turn that radio down, or you’ll have to turn it off.’’ The door closed, then his own opened. “Bob, son, don’t worry so much about your grades. State has accepted you and offered you an athletic scholarship. You don’t have to get the academic one, and if you really don’t want the athletic one, your mother and 1 can easily pay your way.” “Thanks Dad, but I’d rather work or take the athletic one than let you pay my way.” “They’re all alike,” he thought. “I shouldn’t worry about what they say, but I do. They’re the only friends I have, or at least they used to be. They all try to be the same to my face, but 1 can hear them behind my back: Dad, the kids at school, the sportscaster, all of them. ‘ Traitor. Chicken. Bookworm. Coward. Traitor. Traitor. He kept his grades up during football; he can do it now if he wants to. What’s he worried about, he’s got it made.’ Why won’t they let up? If I go on the athletic scholarship, they ' ll say the same about me that they say about Jack. ‘If he couldn’t play, State would never have accepted him. He goes to play; we’ll have to work.’ It’s not true, about Jack or me. Jack was one of the top seniors last year and is doing well at State this year. I know 1 shouldn’t worry about what they say, but I do. Let’s see if this is right. Close again, but not quite. Oh, what’s the use? I was going to stop this half an hour ago. Might as well try Latin. Caesar gives me fits. Looks like I won’t get to bed till twelve again tonight. My, I’m sleepy.” A knock at the door woke him. “Howetton 68-67 in overtime.” His ears caught a faint voice through the wall. “And fans, the big difference tonight was the absence of Bob Alder.” He looked at the clock and then at the books still unopened on the desk. “Won’t they ever let up?”, he thought. “Can’t they see they’re killing me? I’m not superhuman. There’s a limit to what anyone can do. I’m no exception. Can’t they see that? Won’t they ever leave me alone?” “Did you get to the game?” “Yeah; we should’ve beaten ’em. We could have if Alder hadn’t chickened out on us.” “Oh, then you didn’t hear about Bob?” “No. What’s he done now?” “Bob killed himself last night.” Lyle Campbell Wilson Honors These young people, two from each of the classes, were chosen by their classmates as being outstanding persons and representatives of their class.

An unknown host ... A fresh corpse Every few minutes in TEN LITTLE INDIANS by Ag atha Christie Presented by THE SENIOR CLASS Ten little Indian boys going out to dine One choked his little self and then there were nine. The series of homicides in Ten Little Indians faithfully followed the old Mother Goose rhyme when it was presented in the Wilson Memorial High School auditorium, March 22, 23. Members of the seniors class turned detec¬ tive when they attempted to find the unknown host who had invited them to an isolated island for a weekend. Agatha Christie, known as the queen of blood curdling fiction, is respon¬ sible for the suspenseful drama presented by the 1963 Senior Class.

To give organized and systematic aid to all pupils in the areas of physical, educational, social, vocational and ethical development is the aim of the guidance program and of the counselors who work with the students at Wilson. Each year a counselor is assigned to each individual student and that counselor may be contacted in her office at certain times during the day. There are always as many as two counselors available any time during the day; often there are more. The entire Conference Building has been set aside for small and large conference rooms. Students may easily find the counselor they are seeking as each office is clearly lettered with the counselor ' s name. Students always have access to the abundant and up-to-date vocational material and to the large number of college catalogs and other school informa¬ tion located in the guidance department. Parents are always welcome and each year many take advantage of the counselor ' s help. Vn 8th grader during a counseling session with Mrs. Shomo. Ars.
