It is our hope that in years to come the thirty-eighth edition of the FIR TREES may recreate for you countless fond mein- ories and associations formed at Wfood- berry Forest, Mr. Carter Walker Mr. Iohn S. Walker Mr. Ioseph G. Walker r 'li' ll Never before in the series of dedica- tions of the FIR TREE has the choice been more obvious or justified than that of the three men selected with reverent devotion and sincere respect by the 1948 Board. Since the founding of Woodberry Forest by their father until their present retire- ment, Mr. Carter Vlfalker, Mr. Iohn S. Walker, and Mr. Ioseph G. VValker have contributed more toward its remarkable progress than all outside interests com- bined. As members of the Staff, they formed the backbone of the School's administra- tion for over forty years, and have Won Widespread admiration as an outstanding educational family in the United States. So it is that with the passing of their regime, we the Editors Wish to take this final opportunity to express our gratitude for all that they have done for Woodberry Forest. lt is with deep regret that the School has to forego the services of these magnanimous gentlemen. As a lasting tribute, the 1948 FIR TREE is dedicated with pride to the Walker brothers, whose influence upon all who have known them will live forever in the annals of the School. 6 MR.

Those who are acquainted with Mr. Carter Walker and his fifty years' work at Woodberry Forest must con- sider this statement as having been made from direct con- tact with our illustrious Headmaster. His powerful in- fluence over all who have passed under him as students will never be forgotten, and as a counsel to boys he was unexcelled. The School loses a great man when Mr. Walker retires after this sessiong there is not one among his many friends who does not realize it and who will not deeply regret it. 12 MR. R. XV. D. rFAYLOR Mr. VV. L. Lord, long one of the most outstanding members of the fae- ulty from the standpoint of teaching, was recognized last year in an admin- istrative way lzy being appointed as- sistant headniaster. However, this has not ended his teaching for he still handles Sixth Form mathematics as well as holding his post as head of the entire math department. MR. S. VVALKER 13 S As Senior Master Mr. Taylor held for many years a position of inesti- mable value in managing the discipli- nary matters of XVoodberry Forest. Although he no longer does this work and has likewise retired from teaching his traditional Latin classes. he is still active in affairs of the School chiefly through his position as head of the Memorial lnhrmarv Fund. MR. W. L. Loran Mr. S. Walker, son of VVood- berry's founder, and intimately known to the students and faculty alike as Mr. Iohn, is noted for his keen sense of humor and unrestrained friendli- ness. Formerly a teacher of mathematics, he has through his active interest been largely responsible for the School's athletic publicity and reputation, and has always been an active participant in school affairs. Lefz io Righl: Dick, Martfield, Chambers, Latham, Chapman. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Running the gamut from grammar to composition, the English Depart- ment is under the leadership of Mr. Chambers. Emphasis is primarily placed on creative writing and knowledge of the best in American and English Litera- ture. The Sixth Form's.program how- ever, varies slightly from the rest. Most of its time is concerned with preparation for College Board Exam- inations. Teaching Sixth Form English is Mr. Chambers, who received a B.A. at the University of Pittsburgh and an MA. at Columbia University. The Second Formers are taught grammar by Mr. Dick of Davidson. From Randolph Macon comes Mr. Latham who teaches Fourth English. Mr. Mattiield, who teaches classes in the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Forms, holds a B.A. from Clark University, and came to Wooclberry after instructing at V.E.S. Although only a faculty member for 2 years, Mr. Chapman, an ex-Army Air Force man from Washington and Lee, already is established as an excellent teacher.

This is true not only be- cause of the important part which math plays in modern living, but also because this science is a basis for so many other fields. Appointed the School's associate headmaster last year, Mr. Lord has led the department here for 20 years. He holds 'M.A. and B.A. degrees from Washington and Lee University, and teaches Sixth Form math. Mr. Sliaclcelford was graduated from the University of Virginia with B.A. and M.A. degrees. He instructs the Fourth and Fifth Forms in algebra and geometry, and is in charge of the Scl1ool's rooming arrangements. 17 d, Lord, Rufhn, Gammon. Coming to Woodberry from V .E.S. in l946, Mr. Ruffin is an alumnus of The University of Virginia. Mr. Gam- mon and Mr. Crone, both Iune gradu- ates of North Carolina, are instructors in lower form math. Left lo Right Rice, Rogers, Barnett, Barr. HISTORY, MUSIC, ART DEPARTMENTS Covering a wide variety of historical periods, the History department is ably headed by Mr. Barnett with Mr. Rogers serving as an associate. As is true with other departments in the School, emphasis is put on College Board requirements. A graduate of Georgetown College and a winner of a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, Mr. Barnett teaches the two upper forms. Mr. Rogers, who just recently re- turned from Europe, where he was a Colonel in C-5, is a graduate of David- son College. He teaches both Modern European and American History. The artistic vein of the school cur- riculum is under the capable leader- ship of Mr. Barr and Mr. Rice. An alumnus of Harvard, Mr. Barr teaches all art classes, including mechanical dravving. Mr. Rice, a recent addition to the School's faculty, has not only achieved success as instructor in music theory but has also expanded the Choir. Mr. Rice is a graduate of Yale University. 18 A-ff 0-, :va fl x K ' .., 1, , yi., U 5 jf. -npy. hi..-fig, . i':.:'.'g.

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The Science Department at Wood- berry Forest is centered around ca- pable masters Who use excellent equip- ment to instruct the students in the phases of elementary science. Heading this division is Mr. Harry T. Saxton, who for many years has been a thoroughly competent teacher in Chemistry. He also directs the stu- dent serving corps in the dining room. Mr. Samuel Macliaughlin, who also holds classes in Chemistry, devotes his main efforts to Biology and General Science. Mr. Charles Bettis, the third mein- ber of this group, instructs all the Physics classes. His touch with the rnodern aspects of this science are manifested by his recent work at Oak Ridge on the Atomic Bomb Project. Z1 Not only does science play an iin- portant role in every day life, but also does it hold untold possibilities as the people of the world pause on the brink of the most revolutionary era of all time, the Atomic Age. Leif Io Right: Pitt, Mercer, Norfleet, Brightman. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT In the modern languages depart- ment, VVoodberry oiters a very com- plete and well-developed three-year course in both French and Spanish. As head of the French Department the School has for many years been fortunate in having Mr. Fillmore Nor- ileet, who attended VVashington and Lee, U. of Va., and the University of Portiers in France, and obtained his Ph.D. degree. Mr. Norileet is assisted in the instruction of this section by Mr. Paul F. Brightman, who came to VVoodberry last year. Mr. Brightman graduated from the University of Lausanne and has already proved him- self to be very eflicient in his French instruction. The Spanish Department has for many years been under the able direc- tion of Mr. Ioseph M. Mercer, who came to VVoodberry twenty years ago after completing his B.S. degree at the University of Virginia. Also instructing in Spanish is Mr. Malcolm Pitt, Ir., of the University of Richmond. 22 ,Af -2 if I A -K I i I 1 1 1, :,g.q.!71,g1,.f-fa: - fxgn E V' 'I f' , 'gn'-Q9 L.:-'fi' 3 :EV lv' ' KSBXK. K .

LATIN AND GERMAN DEPARTMENTS The Latin and German department at Woodberry Forest, consisting of Mr. William Carnes, Mr. Eugene Goet- chius, and Mr. Harry Bowman, em- phasizes College Board requirements for these phases of learning. Mr. Carnes and Mr. Bowman com- prise the Latin Department wherein the course of study begins with the fundamentals of grammar and covers both translations in Caesar and in Cicero. Mr. Carnes, a graduate of Harvard, has charge of the upper sec- tions of Latin, while Mr. Bowman, who attended Davidson and Colurn- bia, teaches the younger boys. The German language is ably taught by Mr. Goetchius, a graduate of the University of Virginia who has done 25 extensive work in the held of German manuscript translation. Because of the importance of' the classics as well as the interest found in German Literature, both Latin and German are very important parts of the scholastic curriculum at 'Wood- berry Forest. Mr. White, Mr. Herbert Woodward, Bzzrinerr A-Imzager, Mr. Embry. THE STAFF The advent of Dr. Davis Middle- inas as the School's physician, of Mrs. Dorothy C. VVhite, RN., of the Mar- quette University School of Nursing as head nurse, and of Miss Mary Pattie, R.N., as assistant nurse, high- lighted the staff activities of this past session. Dr. Middlenias, graduate of South Carolina's Medical College, spent one year of private practice at Latta, S. C., before coining to Woodberry. He has already established for hiniself the en- viable reputation as an excellent doctor and a friendly nienrber of the School's coniinunity. Miss Pattie, who is a graduate nurse of the Kings Daugh- ters Hospital, Portsinouth, Virginia, was a Captain in the Army Nurse Corps during the past war. After the tragic death of Miss Georgie Welcli in the fall of this year, M55 Ellen THVIOF Mrs, Virginia Snead Miss June Anderson ...gg .7 X Miss Dennis Chapman Mr. Wlooclson Harrison Mrs. A. S. Powell Mrs. Annie S. Powell joined the staff, and by performing her duties in the best possible way proved to be a help- ful, capable, and popular matron. An- other relatively new member of the staff, Mr. Herbert Woodvvard, a gradu- ate of VVashington and Lee and an ex- pert in agriculture, took the place of Mr. Ioseph G. VValker as Business Manager and Treasurer last year. Mr. and Mrs. Rawleigh Taylor con- Mr. and Mrs. R. W. D. Taylor Mrs. G. XV. Marchanc tinued to devote their time and etforts to the directing of the Alumni Asso- ciation and to the publishing of the Alumni Bulletin, as well as directing the Memorial Infirmary Fund. ln addition to these splendid achieve- ments, the remaining members of the staff have continued the important and diflieult job of maintaining the Sehool'S many activities as smoothly and suc- cessfully as ever before.

PREFECT BOARD The Prefect Boards main objects are to guard the honor system, to share with the masters most of the super- vision duties, and to serve as leaders and advisors to the students, especially to the new boys. Under the capable leadership of Bill Williamson, Senior Prefect of the '47- '48 session, this year's board has notably performed its many duties, in- cluding those concerning the School's business and discipline. Unique in its origin and history, the board has be- come progressive as the years have passed, and novv represents the demo- cratic vein in the School's organization. This important and vital part of the community's administration has, through its straight-forward character, sincere loyalty, and ability, gained the respect and whole-hearted cooperation of both the boys and masters. All are justly proud of these boys who helped greatly in the smoothness and efli- cieney of the Schools many activities. 28 MONITOR BOARD The Monitor Board is one of the most vital parts of student govermneiit at Woodberry Forest. Consisting of full Sixth Formers who have either been at school for at least three years or who have proven themselves ca- pable of leadership in one year as a Fifth Former, the board plays an im- portant role in maintaining the high disciplinary standards of the School. Included among its duties are the morning and night inspections and the keeping of order in general at all times on the dormitories. However, the members have their privileges too, the chief ones being exemption from serv- ing demerits and permission for an extra hour of study at night. Together with the prefects, the monitors give Woodberry Forest the reputation of possessing one of the most eflicient self-governing student bodies in secondary schools.

CHAPEL COUNCIL Responsible for the religious side of school life at Woodberry Forest, the members of the Chapel Council, under the supervision of Mr. Lord, perform many important duties. Each Thursday evening a prayer service is Reverend W. Francis Burke held for the students by a member of the Council or by a visiting minister. Although attendance is not compul- sory, many boys are present at these services. With the money collected from Sunday offerings, the Chapel Council contributes to many worthy causes. At present it supports a school in Holland, about the same size as VVoodberry, by sending them useful equipment which cannot be obtained there. The Council also makes con- tributions to the Red Cross and other nationally known charitable organiza- tions. To become a member of the Chapel Council, a distinct honor for a student at Woodberry Forest, a boy must be chosen for his interest in religious Work and for his upright character. 30 Left lo Right: J.

Zin 11-Blemuriam The passing of Mrs. Carter VValker, beloved wife of the Headmaster, was a blow to all who knew her and her iniluence on the VVoodberry Forest community. As hostess for the School and the dances as well, for many years she brought her gracious personality and unmatched kindness to bear upon many guests of all agesg she was likewise of invaluable aid as an advisor to the I-lop Com- mittee. Never did she have a harsh word for any of the students, while she was always ready to help them in every way possible. Her lovable and sincere nature will live always in the hearts of her many devoted friends. f 'fel . --I, ' f' x , -2 M i f .2- -ig r 6 a l. 3' a f ' 1 ,f - ' f 'U-.wx '-in 1-ifav - 'E . 7 f ii t fri a it ' -7 1-- - 4921 ' L 52 'J ' .,,.1:75, gg- 4.4 f -5 - N N SJW I - .5 i' 1-'Q -- 55 .. - N - ' 'l f' , -.

During her six years as matron, Miss VVelch's strong devotion to the School and sincere kindness to all with Whom she came in contact made her an indispensable and beloved member ot the community. She will always be remembered tor the genuine satis- faction which she derived from her part in maintaining the well-groomed appearance of the corridors, dormitories, and rooms of the XVall4er Building. Her passing was a blow to the School. M y 55: Classes to most students mean books, books, and more books, but to the pupils at Vkfoodberry Forest there is much more than just that to their school Work, in and out of the classroom. The fact which makes this true is that masters here are more than teachers, for they act as guides to the boys and help them gain conli- dence and ability as well as knowledge.

Mercer Nick Wilggn Faculty Arizfirer Edjfgf-.i,7.Chjgf pages of The School's year book, in which they have attempted to give the student body a broad and comprehen- sive view of the activities and school life in which the latter have partici- pated. This job could never have been suc- cessfully accomplished Without the active participation and conscientious cooperation of an eflicient and expe- rienced board of members and of- Hcers. After displaying his writing talents and organizing ability on last year's board, Nick Wilson assumed this year the key position ot Editor-in-Chief, Aiding him as department oflicers were Silas Pickering, Assistant Editorg Billy I-lazlegrove, handling the Senior Studiesg Leon Dure, as Sports Editorg and VVinston Shepherd managing the Organizations. ll6 The financial support of the Fm TREE originates from three major sources: The Advertising Department regularly tops the list, netting approxi- mately forty per cent of the income. Making ends meet in the department this year was Iohn Brown, Advertising Manager. The year-book subscriptions may be depended upon to run a close second in netting around thirty-five per cent of the total receipts. This branch of the staff was managed by Cameron Thompson this year. The balance of the income was supplied by the ever-faithful Fir Tree store which was capably managed under the proprietorship of Alfred Fairer, whose more important job was that of con- trolling the Hnances as Business Man- ager. Of invaluable assistance to what suc- cess this book may attain have been the efforts of Mr. Brightman, introducing what is considered a truly line group Alfred Fairer John Brown Bnrinefr Manger Adverziring N nage of pictures. For many years the im- portant post of faculty advisor has been filled by Mr. Mercer, whose job has been to supervise the editing of the year book, and without whose help this task would have been greater in- deed.

L, v Mr Arthur Latham Frank Summers Family Advirer Editor-in-Chief THE ORACLE The VVoodberry Forest Oracle has come through this year with a series of publications of which the School can be proud and which deserves all the credit and praise which can be awarded to a product of first rate ama- teur skill in writing and editing. Strug- gling to meet the ever-impending dead- line the staff and otlicers always seem to come through on schedule and get to the presses in time to give the com- munity its bi-weekly edition of our own newspaper. This year's board combines the ef- forts of a well chosen group of olhcers and members in the dilfterent depart- ments which produced a well-rounded presentation of the campus news, stu- dent personality sketches, sports cover- age, feature articles, and examples of Woodberry's own original wit, humor, and sarcasm.

The arduous and diilicult task of editing a newspaper, no matter how small, does not lie Within the re- sponsibility ot any one individual, but is a direct result of the combined ef- forts of a Well organized staff.

THE CHOIR The Choir of VVoodberry Forest School, under the capable direction of Mr. William Rice of Yale University, has again this year risen to a place of high importance among the extra- curricular activities of the boys. It is composed of a group of be- tween twenty and twenty-live students fortunate enough to be selected from a larger company which annually tries out for places. The reputation gained by those who are accepted is im- pressive indeed as they continue to sing in St. Andrews Chapel through- out the year. Their singing showed marked improvement as the year passed, and at the end of the session they compared favorably with choirs at XVoodberry Forest in years gone by. The outstanding single event on the calendar for this choral group is their annual concert presented in conjunc- tion with the C-lee Club of St. Annes School of Charlottesville. 120 BOOK CLUB Supervised by Mr. hlattlield, the Book Club met this year both at the Residence and in the Memorial Room of the Gym. Mrs. Wfoodard was the gracious hostess at her home, which formerly belonged to Wfilliani Madi- son, while Mr. Harrison provided re- freshments for the other gatherings. VVith President Silas Pickering pre- siding, assisted by vice-president Nick VVilson, the meetings dealt with var- ous topics of Literary interest. Each member participated according to Il prearrangecl program, some giving readings' while others took a piece at work and discussed it. At many of the meetings, the works of a single author were discussed, while at others, phases of literature such as Humorous Poetry and The Better Modern Plays were taken up. The group also jour- neyed to Orange to see the Barter Theater Production of '4The Impor- tance of Being Ernest.

By producing these short presentations niore boys were given an opportunity to exhibit their talents and abilities as actors. These successes were largely due to the keen insight and endless patience of the draniatic director, to the excellent effects achieved by the able supervisor of scenery construction, Mr. Arthur Lathain, together with his untiring and artistic stage hands, and finally to the youthful but talented group of actors. A good deal of hard work and per- sistence necessary to overcome unex- pected obstacles lies behind each of the four annual exhibitions, but when the audiences and participants weigh efforts against results they realize that the long hours and concentrated prac- tice Were not in vain.

RIFLE CLUB This past season the Vlfoodberry Forest Rifle Club, under the able di- rection of Colonel Rogers, has had a very successful year. A relatively small but promising group of boys turned out to make the club a smoothly functioning organiza- tion. The members practiced their markmanship in the excellently equipped underground riile range with .ZZ caliber rifles, while during the spring term the boys had the oppor- tunity of shooting on an outdoor range with .30 caliber rifles. Several Carands are among the collection of arms, and Colonel Rogers frequently permits boys to use some of the guns from his personal rack. The club gives the boys a chance to become familiar with the fundamen- tals of irearms and also offers them the opportunity to improve their marks- manship. 123 Competing members obtain Na- tional Rifle Association medals for the different classes ranging from pro- marksman to expert rifleman. i i i i First Row: Robertson, Dechert, Thompson, B., Bassett, C., VVall, E., Paulette, Iohnson, R.

Bright- man, one of the Forest's foremost enterprises, now boasting a member- ship of some forty boys. Last year this group succeeded in instilling in other students a greater interest in photography while improv- ing its own darkroom by repairing old equipment and adding new. Now in its second year the Club's darkroom has acquired almost every piece of equipment and chemical necessary to produce admirable amateur pictures. Bill Simpson, who was elected presi- dent, and Bill Choate, vice-president, both of whom have developed into ex- cellent photographers, gave valuable aid to their fellow members in the preparation of an exhibit of the pic- tures taken this year which was pre- sented in May by the students. 124 THE BAND Although very small in number this year, the Woodberry Forest band proved to be a constant support to the rooting section at the home foot- ball games. Built around Frank Na- loney and his Colden Trumpet, this organization has come into new favor through coordinated efforts to lift the volume and lend spirit to the cheering of the student body. In full cooperation with the cheer- leaders, the band introduced a musical note which greatly enlivened the gen- eral atmosphere at the pep rallys. It likewise instilled in the students the do or die morale so necessary for mak- ing the best of victories, and in defeat, for bringing out the hard work and determination which assures the ever sweet revenge. Along with Frank Maloney therc were Dan Perry and lim Coyle lending their clarinet talents with Charlie Bourland and Tom Evans on thc drums. Lefl to Right: Maloney, Coyle, Perry.

THE FORUM Run entirely by the students under the advisorship of Mr. Barr, and now in its third year, the Forum concerns itself with the discussions of problems of world-wide importance. This organization has gained greatly in popularity during the past few years and as a new feature has added the Sub-Forum to its program. The latter undertakes to introduce the topic that is to be debated the follow- ing weelc in the regular group, enlight- ening the audience as well as the speakers, and adding greatly to the in- terest of the debate. The Forum Steering Committee, headed by John Brown, who in turn was assisted by Wilbur Hazlegrove, David Darr, Leon Dure, and Carter Grinstead, featured a large number of students as guest speakers. If the pres- ent growth of enthusiasm continues, the Forum will undoubtedly expe- rience greater success in the future of the School. 126 PUBLIC SPEAKING HONOR SOCIETY The Public Speaking Honor Society is composed of fifteen members, five from each of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Forms. Under the direction of lXfIr. Chambers. a board of judges. composed of members of the faculty, picks from this group the two best speakers in each form. A winner from each is selected from these preliminary victors in a final contest held in May, each of whom is presented with a medal at graduation in june. The Fourth Form gives a declamation in which the contestants are judged only on their delivery, while the Fifth and Sixth Form contestants write their own speeches, which are judged on the content as well as delivery. This organization does much to prepare boys for the application of public speaking in later life, and helps cle- velop their self-confidence.

Coach Leonard Dick and Captain Kirk Vandervoorc FOOTBALL This year more than ever before in the past can the success of the foot- ball team be attributed to Mr. Dick and his staff of coaches. More than once during the season did the Wood- berry Team come out on top, not be- cause of the great potential ability of the players, but because of a distinct superiority in coaching. Because of the efforts of Mr. Dick, Mr. Mercer, Mr. Pitt, Mr. Gammon, and Mr. Bettis, the 1947 VVoodberry Tigers had instilled in them a Hghting spirit and a desire to win that made up for a lack of weight and experience and raised them above the level of mediocrity. On the shoulders of the captain, Kirk Vandervoort, a great deal of re- sponsibility was placed. Aside from his inestirnable value as a blocker, line backer and defensive signal caller, it was Kirk on Whom the inexperienced members of the team leaned. He was always in there ready to steady a weak- ening line or renew the lagging spirits of his teammates with words of en- couragment. Kirk possessed the rare ability to give all lic had without a lctup for sixty minutes. 138 Top Row: Williams, M,, Camp, Early, Ragsdale, Joe, Switzer. Summers, F., Barbee, Latham.

At Hrst glance a record of five Wins two defeats and a tie is not too im- pressive. However, in view of the fact that a spirit of determination and a love of hard-played football developed to such an extent that the l947 toot- ball season may justly be called a suck cessful one. Perhaps the greatest thrill that can be experienced in football is that of UM REUNINC. The most versatile Wfoodberry back, 'Alim- bo passed, kicked and ran with great ability. Scoring Eve times, he also kicked off and kicked extra points. LEON DURE Leo was invaluable through smooth ball han- dling and able signal calling. His small size handicapped him very little as he outsmarted thc opposition countless times. 139 beating a good team, and the fact that the Foresters enjoyed this thrill three times, against VV Sr L, Mercersburg. and R.M.A., added to the success of the season. Because of the graduation of many of last year's state champions, Coach Dick and his assistants were faced with a serious lack of weight and experience. Nevertheless, combining speed and coaching down to minutest detail, they produced a consistent of- fense and defense that was to lose but two out of eight games. Offensively, the VVoodberry team amassed 149 points, chiefly by means of quick-opening plays which sent Gaston and Reuning through the uin- side, or through wide lateral maneu- vers in which the great speed and elusiveness of Piney Field and Buddha Beard were employed. Defensively the Tiger forward wall yielded but sixty-two points Using varied defen- sives shrewdly, Mr. Mercer compiled a smart, spirited line consisting of Cap- tain Vandervoort at center, lohn Brown, George Buxton as guards, and Une Coxc and Alternate Captain PINEY FIELD Easily leading Wood- berry's scorers with 54 points, Piney was the crowd's delight as he streaked down the side- lines goalward bound. His punting was also ex- cellent. BUDDA BEARD Although injured in the first game, Budda came back to play a big role in the Tiger offensive as a dangerous climax runner from a halfback slot. Meadows at the tackle positions. End Coach Mac Pitt, Ir., gave the nod to Williaiirsoii and to either Barbee or Switzer to stabilize the ends of the forward wall. The state preparatory championship was not won, but was relinquished to Episcopal High School, who gave the Tigers their worst defeat, a 41-13 shellacking. In the other two league games VVoodberry emerged with a vic- tory and a tie, easily defeating V.E.S. but failing to beat St. Christopher's in the season's most disappointing game. However, with everything in view the season can only be considered as a suc- cessful and praise-deserving one, and a credit to the School.

The heavier Fork Union team collected the only points of the game via a safety when Woodberry's Piney Field lost his footing behind his own goal line. HARLEY GASTON -f W Although a hard driving fullback, Harley was even more capable as a defensive line backer, combining vicious tack- ling with a keen sense of opponents' strategy. FRANK HOOKER A kicking specialist from Martir1sville,Va., Frank's timely punts helped the Foresters out of many holes and often kept the opposition in their own territory. 141 An early Wooclberry drive led by Gas- ton was stymied on the F.U.lVI.A. IS. Penalties and an early season lack of offensive attributed to VVoodberry's inability to score. However, defen- sively the Tigers were effective, and the contest indicated that the team would make up with fight what it lacked elsewhere. Piney Prays VVASI-IINGTON AND LEE Against W. 81 L. High School of Arlington, Virginia, in the season's sec- ond outing, XfVoodberry played one of its best games and won a decisive l3-0 victory on Hanes Field. Ollensively the team was deceptive, scoring twice and being stopped by the half time intermission on the W. Sr L. two- yard line. VVoodberry scored in the first period when Piney Field hugged the sideline for 60 yards and a touch- down, returning a W. Sz L. punt. Hurley's placement was good.

VIRGINIA EPISCOPAL SCHOOL In the iirst state preparatory league game, Wooclberry found little trouble in collecting a 53-0 win over V.E.S. of Lynchburg, a game played in stifling heat on Hanes Field. Tiger backs had a field day, tallying on the ground, through the air, and by intercepting a pass. The VVoodberry second and third teanis played a good part of the ganie and made a commendable show- ing. Scoring touchdowns were Field CZJ, Gaston CZQ, Hooker QZJ, Reun- ing and Iohrison, G.

Hurley converted. In one of OVVEN MEADOWS Owen stood out every minute on the Held. His rugged defensive and of- fensive ability often kept the team on its feet.

However, R.M.A. came back fast when an off tackle play went forty yards for a tally.

The team blocked and tackled very well even though Detwiler of Mercersburg, a crushing runner, was a continual threat and bulldozed his way 35 yards for Mercerburg's only score, which came in the second quar- ter. Field, who ran spectacularly all afternoon, scored twice on long runs, one being called back. Reuning maneu- vered 45 yards for another Woodberry tally, while a pass from Dure to Wil- liamson in the waning moments of the game, plus Reuning's conversion, com- pleted the scoring. IOE RAGSDALE A 200-pound tackle, Rag pushed the reg- ulars for a starting berth all season. Specializing in getting down under punts, he often beat the ball. BARNEY BOARDMAN Aggressiveness enabled Barney to break into the line-up constantly. A hard blocker and tackler, he was equally good on offense or defense. 146 IIMMY HURLEY Aside from being a de- pendable line backer, Ulimbon placed five kicks through thc up- rights to prove his value offensively.

The novelty of the adverse ground conditions made the game an odd spectacle but failed to stop the fleet Woodberry backs from splashing their way to four scores. Reuning tallied first, going off tackle thirty-five yards, and also last, this time going thirty yards. Between these touchdowns Field and Beard found time to sprint for tallies num- bers Z and 3. Reuning and Hurley added a point-after-touchdown each. Rag bowls over Yankees for Piney 147 EPISCOPAL HIGH SCHOOL An already drizzly, overcast day was made even more dismal for the Tigers of Wootlberry Forest when they went down in defeat in the year's most im- portant clash, the Episcopal game. The star-studded High School team was the heavy favorite, being undefeated at the ti1ne, but no solace can be found in a one-sided 41-13 defeat. ln the first five minutes it seemed as if Wooclberry might score an upset as CLAY CAMP Clay came through when he was needed most by turning in line perform- ances in the Mercersburg and Fishburiie games.

However, when E.H.S. shifted from a Hve-man line into a six, the Foresters' offense was checked for the afternoon. It was not the highly-polished High School running attack that set up seven Epis- copal touchdowns, as this was thwarted by the stubborn Wooclberry line. lt was the Maroon's quarterback, Bark- ley, who snowed Woodberry under with touchdown passes, using a rifle Bright spot of a gloomy day 1-18 Mr. Field again called an arm to connect with Birge and Dilweg for live tallies.

His skill and patience in handling boys ideally suited him to teaching the high-speed hoop sport. A genuine love for the game is evidenced in his frequent and skillful participation in the inter-squad scrimmages. Thoroughly versed in the varied strategies of this intricate sport, Mr. L'Mac can be looked to for continued fine Work with Woodberry1's basketeers. As the only returning member of last year's first string team, lim Reun- ing was a natural choice to captain this year's quint. He was without a doubt one of the most gifted athletes in Wooclberryf Forest. His attributes, both physical and mental, are perhaps better used in basketball, than in any other sport. Fast, extremely Well co- ordinated, with great spring in his legs, limbo made his jump shot effective against all opponents. He is a tenacious competitor, and consequently was par- ticularly dangerous in the Hnal period of a close ball game. His knack of im- parting this spirit to his teammates qualiies him as a natural leader. 150 Left to Right, Back Row: Dure, Williamson, NV., Agnew, Carter, Kelly, Summers, F., Hooker, Carmichael. Front Raw: Barbee, Johnson, J., Morton, Reuning, Johnson, G., Walden, Glenn, Perry. Although not quite measuring up to the standard of the Tiger clubs of the two preceding years, the '48 edition of the Woodberry eagers turned in a rather satisfactory season. Long on de- termination and scrap but short on ex- perience, size, and possibly ability, the Bengals amassed a season's record of DAN PERRY Cool, calm, and col- lected depict this silent Tiger forward to the letter. His oneehander has given him the repu- tation as one of the best shots on the team. BALLARD MORTON Being the youngest man on the squad did not handicap this speedy for- ward as he proved that his reputation as Z1 crack shot was well founded. 151 nine wins and six defeats. Two of the losses were administered at the hands of V.M.I. and University of Virginia B Teams. Paced by Capt. lim Reuning, whose brilliant play was at all times outstand- ing, and his fellow play-maker, Garland Iohnson, the workhorse of the quintet, Y BEN XVALDEN Becoming a Hrst string Center in his hrst varsity season, Red often paced the Tiger scoring with his hook shots and many tipsins. FRANK SUMMERS A shoulder injury benched this smooth, steady player most of the season, but Frank's re- bound work made him a valuable substitute later in the season. the Grange and Black turned in nu- merous impressive victories. Employ- ing for the most part a pressing man- to-man defense and the fast break, the Foresters proved themselves a high- scoring and aggressive team. Three rookies, forwards Ballard Mor- ton and Dan Perry, and center Ben VValden, capably filled in the three remaining hotly-contested positions. Frank Summers and loe lohnson, center and forward, respectively, were invaluable as top flight reserves. HAMPDEN-SYDNEY V. Gaining revenge for an earlier prac- tice game defeat, the Foresters emerged victorious, 47-42, over the Hampden-Sydney UB Squad at Death Valley.

His ball handling kept the Tigers in many games. 153 for the startled Saints could adjust themselves. This early sprint gave the home team a lead it never relinquished. Leading the Forester scoring was Bal- lard Morton, who played a stellar game and tallied 15 points. Capt. lim Reun- ing's Hoorwork was also an outstanding factor in the impressive victory. A week later in Richmond, the Tigers managed to spurt ahead in the Reuning and Morton Hy high against R.M.A. last three minutes of play to defeat a Saint live that was out for blood by a score of 59-52. Paced by Ben Walclen's Z2 points the Bengals proved to the still skeptical Red and Cray that they had a fine team. Both teams' elli- ciency was handicaped in the last quarter when Garland Iohnson and Reuning fouled out for the Tigers and Weeks and Mauck left the game via the same route for the Saints. l RANDOLPH-MACON ACADEMY SERIES A scant Week after their return from the Christmas Holidays, the Tigers journeyed to Front Royal to meet the Randolph-Macon Academy Yellow Iackets. lt took the Orange and Black overtimes to do it, but they won out on Walde11's field goal, 32-30. High scorers of the game were Walclen with Jon IOHNSCN One of the best shots on the team, Ioe was an able substitute at guard, forward, or center, and his shooting was a main- stay in the Tigers' attack. PETE CARTER A dependable rebounder, a good shot, and a steady pivotman, Pete used his height and scrap to good advantage at either the center or forward posi' tion. 154 LEON DURE Strictly a team man, this diminutive guard's ac- curate passing, excellent floorwork and frequent displays of scrap and hustle will be welcomed back again next year. TOM ACNEXV Tom's one-handed push shots, height, and pass- ing made him a threat to the opposition, while his beautiful faking made him very difficult to guard. I3 and Cooper of R.M.A., who fol- lowed closely with 12. On their home court, the Bengals rornped to a surprisingly easy 51-24 win, Feb. II. The Foresters' all-over- the-court-strategy proved its worth as they ran up a 12-0 score in the first few minutes of play. Leading the at- tack for the victors were Walden with 14, Perry with 13, and Morton with ll points. VIRGINIA EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Playing before a large Mid-VVinter's gathering, the Foresters snowed under a hapless and outclassed Virginia Epis- copal School Hve, 65-27.

STAUNTON MILITARY ACADEMY In a l'March of Dimes benefit con- test played in Staunton, Feb. 14, the Cadets from S.M.A. proved a little too rnuch as the Foresters dropped a hard-fought 61-52 decision. Getting Flip gets a Crip. into the scoring column. oft to a slow start and trailing at the halt, Z5-30, the Bengals found the Cadets' 13-ganre Winning streak very hard to break.

Late in the Hnal stanza, with Capt. lim Reuning and Ioe lohnson leading the Way, the Tigers tied up the tilt, 38-38,1 with 27 seconds to go. In the three-minute overtime period E.H.S. amassed 13 points, Eve of them by Kimbrough, while the Tigers ran up a total of 6. ln his last game at Wooclberryf, Cap- tain Iim Reuning lcd both teams in scoring with 19 points.

His line teams in past years have maintained the School's wrestling tradition set up in the 30's by Mr. H. S. Covingtong his love of the game combined With that of sportsmanship, keen competition, and a continued interest in producing a consistently skilful group of grap- plers, have maintained the sport as a major one at VVoodberry. Assisted by Coaches Bob Barr, Charlie Rich, and Bud Crone, Coach Mercer, together with Captain Barney Boardman, again came up with a good team. At all times setting a line eX- ample for the members of the squad, Boardman had gained invaluable CX- perience in the 145-lb. slot on l2lSt year's team. Returning this year as 21 letterman, he wrestled in the 145- and 155-lb. classes, consistently prov- ing his worth, skill, and leadership, While at the same time emulating the excellent example of Coach Mercer's sense of fair play and aggressiveness. 158 Left lo Right, Back Row: Cover, Jordan, Brown, J., Camp, Meadows, Evans, T., Michie, Wfilliams, V., Stern. Front Row: Irvin, Crocker, Dorman, Boardman, Buxton, G., Coxe, Williams, M., Parker. Bad luck again played a major role in the successes of the Woodberry Wrestling team. In two contests, a win for the Tigers in any one of the close bouts would have turned a de- feat into a victory. As it was, after giving a good account of themselves, the Bengals came out on the short end of the score in both cases.

Wrestling for their first time, Michie and Iordan were both defeated l in the 110- and 121-lb. classes.

Iohn Brown lost a tough bout in the 145-lb. class, but decisions in favor of Boardman and Buxton and pins by Coxe and Dorman clinched the vic- tory.

The score was then tied at 8 all, but all other bouts resulted in Woodberry victories, Cox gaining revenge on Turner, and Buxton and Ivleadows both winning by falls. VIRGINIA MILITARY ACADEMY With only three days' rest, the Tigers were defeated, I9-lS,byV.M.I.'s IV. in a match in which the Hnal score could easily have been reversed, so close were the bouts.

TRACK As in past years, Mr. Leonard Dick will again serve as head coach of the track team. Excellently gifted to lead a group of prep school students, his way of bringing out the best in his material and of capturing a lofty spirit and morale classes him as a standout coach and athletic director. George Braslielcl of Petersburg, Vir- ginia, is captain of the 1948 Woocl- berry Forest track team. As a pole- vaulter he is unexcelled, and his record speaks for itself. Never in the history of the sport at this school has so much been expected of a cinderman in any one event, for he has already scaled twelve feet three inches in the Cage. This amazing feat shattered the State Meet incloor record in Charlottesville by nine full inches, and when George moves outside, the sky's the limit. However, Captain Brasfield is not only the teamls outstanding performer, but he is also the perfect leader. A hard worker who is always in tip-top shape, George is an example of a boy who loves his sport, and he is an athlete's athlete if there ever was one. 164 ,niasu 1 P..a....i.1 1 l K, A g ' I ', 3 1 s 1 ' E I , !

A three-letter man and one of the iinest athletes to matriculate at the Univer- sity of Richmond in recent years, he is one of the most capable young coaches to favor Vlfoodberry with his talents. Having played both Hrst-base and the outfield during his college days, Mr. Pitt can speak from experience con- cerning all the field positions. In ad- dition to this, he has absorbed enough information about the battery-men to give them valuable help. Playing his fourth year on the first string team, Kirk Vandervoort was elected captain of this year's diamond squad. He moved to the shortstop position last spring, after serving as an outiielder his iirst two years. His strong throwing arm and sure hands made him a Unaturaln for the post. iKirk has made noticeable improve- ment in his hitting each year, tinishing over the .300 mark last season, while providing the much-needed clutch hits from his clean-up spot in the batting order. This year, added power ought to make him a more dangerous hitter than ever. 168 Left to Rigbf, Back Row: Dowd fManagerD, Wilson, J., Craigie, Field, Janney, Flannery, Phillips. From Row: Hanes, Darling, Summers, F., Walden, Vandervoorr, Gaston, Robinson, Russ., Beard, Wilson, N. Bolstered by a strong veteran inheld, the Tiger baseball team looks forward to a successful campaign this spring.

Iimmie Hurley, who is one of the sharpest hitters, will again capably hold down third base. Captain Kirk Vandervoort will again be at short-stop, and in the fourth slot in the batting order. Iohn VVilson is a capable infield substitute and a po- tentially good hitter. The outfield is as yet unsettled. Harley Gaston, a letterman, and Pete Darling are two likely candidates, as both are good hitters. The center held position, is, however, wide open, and it is likely that a pitcher might be thrown into the breach. Russell Robinson's strong arm and steady receiving practically assure him of the catching position. The pitching staff is headed by Frank Summers and Bill Beard. Sum- mers is a master of control who was BEN NVALDEN Combining power with a natural swing, Red is developing into a con- stant threat at the plate, while his height is used to advantage at the ini- tial sack. HARLEY GASTON Few are the balls that escape this sturdy Caro- linian's glove, and his many power clouts have earned him a place in the starting outfield. particularly ellective at the end of last season. Beard has more natural ability than anyone on the staff, and when he has control of his curve-ball is diflicult for any team to beat. Nick Wilson and Will Hanes, both possessing poise and control, are two other hurlers ca- pable of starting. Walt Craigie, Har- ris Phillips and Tyson Ianney round out the mound corps.

TENNIS Though he is not ranked at the top of the returning squad members, Barney Boardman will captain the ten- nis team this year. That he is not the most talented player on the team emphasizes his popularity and the qualities of leadership he has in abun- dance. ,Barney's skill in the racquet game is the more remarkable because of the fact that the winter term found him out for Wrestling, a sport which usually makes tennis more diflicult to excel in. A tenacious competitor, he will be a difheult opponent for anyone to subdue. Mr. Barr will again devote his after- noons to coaching the net squad. His patient and sympathetic nature espe- cially suit him to handling the partici- pants in a sport such as tennis, in which temperament plays such a large part. An ardent devotee to the game, 'ACoaeh imparts something of his love for tennis to all who play under him. Under his friendly direction, an- other erack squad can be expected to develop and carry on Woodberry's tradition of keen competition in prep tennis throughout the state. 172 fi Left lo Right, Back Row: Carter, Slaughter, Benbow. Front Row: Cover, Agnew, Boardman, Barham, F., Maloney. Under the guidance of Coach Barr and Captain Boardman, the l948 Woodberry Forest tennis team faces a schedule of ten matches. The bright spot of the prospects for the season lie in the return of let- terman Frank Barham after a year's absence. Tom Agnew is the only other performer with any experience whatso- ever, having played in several matches TOM AGNEVV Tom is the only veteran besides Captain Board- man who played regularly last year. Ag's tricky service and slashing fore- hand make him tough for his opponents. FRANK BARHAM A letterman in '46, Frank returns to lend his last year. Tommy Cover, Sam Ben- bow, Charlie Barham, and Pete Carter are the remaining veterans of former teams, while new boys Frank Maloney and Iohnny Bowman join Ned Slaugh- ter in rounding out the squad.

Co-Captain Joe Fiveash, Coach Sam MacLaughlir1, Co-Captain Joe Johnson GOLF Coached again by Sam Maclsaugh- lin, the Woodberry Forest golf team is making a strong bid to become one of the East's top prep school groups. Mr. Mac is active as a player him- self and assumed his duties when the team was reestablished last spring. His experience has proved valuable in helping the style of the student links- inen. y Ioe Fiveash and joe Iohnson were elected co-captains at the end of last season. The diminutive Fiveash, Winner of the annual school tourna- ment in 1947, is a sterling competitor in his matches and is at his best by far when the pressure is greatest. Ban- tam is also a veteran of the four-inan team which copped top honors at the Eastern lnterscholastic Tournament at Greenwich, Conn., last Iune. Ioe Iohnson, the other co-captain is a Lex- ington, Ky., boy who played in many of the matches of last year's unde- feated team and is an invaluable aid to the hopes of the l948 linksmen.

Under the direction of Coach Sam MacLaughlin, the Woodberry Forest Golf Team undertook a schedule of ten matches with neighboring colleges and prep schools.

At the end of the season the first four members of the team are sched- uled to journey to Greenwich, Conn., to defend their Eastern Interscholastic Golf Crown. J.V. Football Captains and Coaches J. V. FOOTBALL In spite of the unusually large num- bers of injuries the I.V. Football squad nevertheless enjoyed a successful sea- son mainly due to the patient efforts of Coaches Maclsaughlin and Rich. The lirst few weeks of the season were used by the two coaches to drill the boys on the plays and funda- mentals of the game, but, as the sea- son wore on, a league of four teams was formed, and captains were chosen for each by the squad. Alternate cap- tains were then elected by the captains to aid them in the choosing of the squads, and a schedule of eight games was drawn up for each team. Witli VV ill Hanes leading the Bums, Russell Robinson quarterbacking the Mules, David Darr captaining the Rangers, and Dan Rochelle at the Captain Will Hanes and his winning J.V. team. 176 helm of the Coats, preparations were made by each team to outwit their rivals. The Rangers got oif to a quick start by annexing their first four games, but as the season wore on Will Hanes' Bums narrowed the Rangers' lead and managed to gain a first place tie as the season came to a close. In the playoff game the Burns earned a thrilling I4-7 victory and won a free trip to the High School game. In the playoff for third place the Goats edged the Mules, 6-0, in an equally exciting contest. Among the outstanding players of the league were: backs, Charlie Bar- ham, Ned Hardison, and Charlie Bour- landg and linemen: Tom Loop, Bill Ruffin, and Dave Pender. The equal distribution of the talent among the four teams insured a close and exciting race for Hrst place, and Mr. MacLaughlin and Mr. Rich should be congratulated for the way in which they handled the formation of the league. MIDGET FOOTBALL This year proved to be a very suc- cessful season for the midget foot- ballers. Under the guidance of Coach R. C. Barr and his assistant, Pete Darling, the Midgets were able to conquer Fredericksburg by a score of 7-0 in their only outside game. Compe- tition for positions on the team was extremely heated throughout the sea- son, and if the spirit and determination to win is as prevalent on the Varsity squad as it was on the Midgets this fall, Woodberryf should be turning out formidable teams in coming years. During the latter part of the season the squad was split into two teams, and captains were chosen for each. In a hard-fought game Stuart Valen- tine's Little Tigers eked out a I3-12 win over Iacques Stern's Cubs Credit is due to Mr. Barr and Pete Qarling for their untiring efforts to drill the young footballers on the fundamentals of the game.

The two other teams were cap- tained by Clay Ring and Russell Rob- inson, and all through the season these scrappy clubs fought for the title but were outdistanced in the end by Pender's group. ' VARSITY RESERVES Under the capable hand of Coach Mac Pitt, the Woodberry B squad had a moderately successful season with ive victories and four losses. Al- though short on ability in comparison with last year's star-studded quint, the '48 Tiger 4'Cubs were long on iight and determination. Tyson Ianney and Thornton Wright were the first string forwards, the remainder of the start- ing live consisting of Hugh Vande- venter, high scoring center, and guards Frank Maloney and Nick Wilson.

Two performances were given, the first for adult admirers and the second for the vstudents. The latter group readily apprfeoiatled their teachers' efforts and cheered themselves hoarse throughout the action either from sheer delight or in an effort to put the faculty in a good frame of mind for the coming exams. Mr. Harry Bowman did a very creditable job as director of the all-star cast. 4'Wild Bill Lord was brilliant as the station master, as were 'LAlfred'l Ruffin and L'Lynn Snead, a bickering husband and wife combination. URough Randy's blasts were a bit too real to life for some of his pupils, as several of them cowered in their seats during his most vehement scenes. Another hubbysspouse team was com- posed of g'Blue Eyes Blair Gam- mon and petite Nancy Mac- Laughlin. Although their love scenes were in no way torrid, a few pointers were picked up by many, including Mr. Mac, who attended all the performances and rehearsals. Rudyl' Brightman gave his usual brilliant performance as a somewhat flighty English play- boy. Someone remarked that he could tell that his accent was put on. L'Rudy's only loss was a hip-flask full of pre-war brandy, which was cremated with un- usual rapidity by Madame Bar- nett, playing the part of an old spinster. It was a bit too real- istic for the tee-totalers, and Mr. John was seen walking out mut- tering to himself, 'SGoodness. I'd have never thought that of Sarah.
