The 1964-1965 Wilson Faculty MISS GLORIA GREGORY MR. CARROLL GUYNN MR. HAMPTON HAIRFIELD MR. JESSIE HAMILTON The world traveling nurse. Last year it was Hawaii. 1965? OPf again somewhere for a jaunt. She is another Wilson graduate who came home to roost after graduating from Medical College of Virginia. No foolishness about her—but sweet and tantalizing when you know her. Our ogriculture and General mechanics teacher is a graduate of VPI and U. Va. He is quite a talker and the men ' s lounge often rings with his stories and laughter during second lunch period. He minds his own business and accomplishes much. He came to us from elementary work and we are so glad. He is a fine addition to the English department and has won the respect of students and teachers. He is an eligible bachelor and we hope will find a lovely mate. Mr. Hamilton would be a fine person to ship wreck on an island with as he is such a wonderful and understanding man, He is interested in his students learning subject matter but he is more interested in them developing into the best possible per¬ sons. He is jolly, sincerely interested in young people and a fine teacher. MRS. VICTORIA HARRIS MR. B. G. HEATWOLE This summer saw Mrs. Harris receive her M.A. from Madison College. She is married to a former Wilson student and they live in Staunton. She is an energetic, conscientious teacher who makes biology interesting. Mr. Heatwole and his new wife make their home in Staunton, The French classes are filled and running over this year which indicates a good teacher and interesting labs. MR. W. A. HILL MR. ALAN HINER Sweet notes or sour notes as long as it ' s music—Mr. Hill is thrilled. He is a stickler for practices and then the performances leave nothing to be desired. We see too little of Mr. Hill as he is serving the elementary schools half a day. A thoroughly de¬ lightful and natural person. Mr. Hiner, another Wilson graduate, is the new bosketball coach as well as carrying his old teaching load of math. He won ' t stand for ony foolishness but his students like him and his method of teaching. MISS MARGARET HOLLAND MISS BETSY HUMPHRIES A Spanish teacher who has traveled to Spain and many other foreign countries. She has a Spanish III class for the first time this year. Being a guidance counselor and Varsity Cheerleadinq Sponsor take her time when she is out of the classroom. She enjoys t he cheerleading trips with the girls, especially the unexpected one to Roanoke! Petite efficient, and a real eyecatcher is this young math teacher who hails from Vesuvius. She is always willing to help students as much as necessary to see that he understands. A popular teacher but one you don t pull tricks on. MISS RAMOMA JOHNSON MRS. BETTY LOYD Life around her is never dull as the unexpected is always happening. Full of vim, vigor and vitality she makes her students meet high requirements but it ' s never a chore, alwoys a pleasure. We hope this tiny bit of spark and electricity will olways plug in at WMHS. Mrs. Loyd has moved her room to A704Y this year and here she teaches Geometry and Math 12. She is always in a splatter and a rush—as she not only has school and church work but is a Girl Scout leader. In her spare time she explores caves and in the quiet moments knits.

FURR MISS SUSAN GARDNER MISS DORIS DAMERON MISS THELMA DARDEN Miss Dameron, a senior homeroom sponsor and English teacher, is a W M graduate.

She doesn ' t stand for any foolishness but she is always happy and willing to help any stu¬ dent who is interested in helping himself. Red-headed and a siren! She is a graduate of Madison and rules the library with an iron hand—have you noticed the in¬ creased number of students going to the library for ’’reference work ? A really sweet but sophisticated young lady just out of college. A quiet man who goes about his teaching with poise and assurance. He teaches typing all day long and maybe he hears the click of typewriters in his sleep. He is well liked and we hope he likes us well enough to keep our typewriters clicking for a long time.

The 1964-1965 Wilson Faculty MRS. VIOLET MABRY MRS. CAROL McALLISTER Mrs. Mabiy (S a graduate of Mary Washington College. She foinierly lived at Waynesboro but now calls Stuarts Draft home. Two growing children occupy much of hei time but she always has time to listen to the woos of her senior English or American History students. We knew her when her name was Bales as she graduated from Wilson before attending Madison College. This is her first year as a science teacher and we hope she likes us as much as we like her. MR. JAMES W. McCLUNG MR. EDWARD MELTO J Mr. McClung in his first year of teaching came back to the place where his mother had previously taught. He is a very eligible bachelor; cultured, poised and friendly. Take off your hat and stay awhile. Head of the science department this year and a returnee from last year ' s faculty, Hs lives in Grottoes and is interested in all phases of science—but especially astronomy. MR. KENNETH NEWTON MRS. CLAUDYNE R. PALMER MR. PHIL MORRIS MR. JAMES PERSINGER The man most in demand for dances, plays, closing of school activities, and annuals. His talent in art is surpassed only by his willingness to help when the occasion arises. We salute you as a true Wilsonite. Mrs. Palmer teaches English 9 and 10 and serves as counsellor for several sections of these two grades for the first time this year, She is a truly understanding and sympathetic person and we feel fortunate to have her in our micist. Don ' t leave us! Quiet is the best way to describe this young gentleman who is octive in the Phys. Ed and sports program. Kind, easy-going and pleasant tell you much of his personality. Wilson and W M claim him as graduates. A small man with a big heart and a tremendous task of coordinating the D, E. program. Because of ill health he retired from teaching at the end of he first semester and we certainly miss him. Mr, Peisinger died March 24, 1965. MR. VmSEN POST MR. GEORGE SERGEANT Last year he was a new groom; this year a new papa. Con¬ gratulations! He is the driver training instructor as well as an important part of the coaching staff. A nightingale in men ' s attire is the head of the choral de¬ partment. He just couldn ' t stay away from us—so after several years ' absence he was welcomed back with open arms. All he keeps asking for is Bassos—and more bassos ' . MR. JESSE RIDGEWAY MR. KARL RAPP Mr, Ridgeway has been a favorite ' Chem ' teacher for many years around these parts—and he has been almost as famous for hts stories (at which we must laugh) as for his lectuies. Good grades in this class are hard to come by but students flock lo enroll. A quiet natured man but a worker and a perfectionist in his metal shop. He is every inch a gentleman and a vital part of the school faculty. His classes have become very popular. 13
