In work, in play, in everything, You’ve been our faithful guides; Patient, willing, kind, and true, Our loyal friends besides. In Latin, Spanish, French and Math, You’ve pointed out perfection’s path. In Chemistry and Physics, too, We've done our very best for you. In English and Geometry, And even Trigonometry, In History and all the rest, We know you’ve done your very best. Because of you our doughty class In life’s great struggle must surpass; Your sympathy and willing aid In future years will be repaid. As through the world we journey on, And life’s great burdens we must don, Your teachings will our pilot be Upon the rough and stormy sea. Our broader life has just begun— We thank you for the work you’ve done. Edward Buxton, 25. ry Jun slemortam To Woodrow Wilson We called you Dreamer, said your dreams were vain— We who today kneel humbly by the Gate Through which you lately passed, and pledge, too late, The faith you gave your life and soul to gain. We called you Dreamer; today we know regret; The aching bitterness of debts delayed By littleness and blunders, ere we paid; The tragedy of vain remorse—and yet Surely, beneath your sleep, you know that God Will bring the harvest after sun and rain; Our stumbling feet shall find the path you trod— We'll keep the faith you have not dreamed in vain. —Pauline Timberlake, in “The Virginian,” Farmville State Teachers College. ee ees 1 These ane es on ae maa A a0 | PRESIDENT _ BENSON CROCKIN Jutta PENDERGRAPH PAULINE TIMBERLAKE MarGAreET BILISOLY Rosser REEVES MAatTrieE QUERY Mary Lou FLournoy Evita Lipscoms Benny THOMAS NELLA Bart Evia M.

Separated by position, sailing Ai for a single port, each has its pain and pleasure, each has its work and sport. The Seniors sail the first ship, experienced and bold. Four years they've onward struggled, and studied as of old. With courage born of battle, with knowledge that has grown, they soon will sail the ocean to visit worlds unknown. The Juniors come in line next, to take the Senior lead—to show the rest the right path, a truly noble deed. The Sophomores are third now, but soon will second be; through their two years they’ve safely sailed upon the troubled sea. The Freshmen are the youngest; their ship has had one year, but they have grown to love the fleet and hold the high school dear. The sturdy flag-ship “Faculty,” with Mr. Codd at wheel, up- holds our banner, “Loyalty,” and keeps an even keel. Then Hail! to the fleet called Wilson, that has braved the storm so well, beloved by officers and crew far more than tongue can tell.

Our elders tell us that this is the age of worry and hurry, and surely no one was ever as rushed and bothered about so many things as I am now, in these preparations for our Commencement. Perhaps if I rest a little while I can attack this pile of work with more enthusiasm.” “Why, I did not hear any one come in! What a peculiar way that girl has of arranging her hair, and her clothes are quite ridiculous. She looks worried, though, perhaps, I can help her,” thought Marjorie. But before she could find her tongue, the girl frowned and began talking softly to herself. “T’m so tired of practicing for Commencement. I wish it was over. If only we nine graduating could have exercises of our own instead of having to arrange a tiresome program with those Grammar School children. 1890, my, how fast our High School years have gone! Some of us girls are thinking of Norfolk College, but the boys have so much greater opportunities. One of them plans to enter Lehigh University, another, Washington and Lee, while Arthur Ritter and Jake Codd are going to William and Mary.” “Oh, I’m so sorry she has gone before I could speak to her. I would like to hear more of Mr. Codd’s High School Class—but who is coming? Another graduate of Yesteryear, I verily believe. She seems to think the window-sill is a piano, but hark! She, too, is talking.” “T hope I won’t make any mistakes when I play Commencement Night. I know the Orpheum will be crowded. I’m rather sorry for Oliver Murray, the only boy in our class of fourteen. The ‘Lone Star’ of 1906 Class, Mr. Saunders, our principal, has called him. Professor A. B. Coffey from William and Mary College will make the address. I hope he’s not tiresome—but I must go to prac- tice. “Still they come,” thought Marjorie, “but this girl seems in such a hurry.” “T must see if the dressmaker has finished my beautiful graduation gown; I know the Orpheum stage will scarcely be able to hold us all, for the Class of 1912 is the largest in the history of the school. Oh, I wonder if we’ll ever have a High School with an Auditorium of our very own?” “Here’s another,” thought Marjorie, ‘“‘and they seem to be as much rushed as | have been, but this girl surely looks cheerful anyway.” | =—— Fhe aries ‘PRESIDENT _ io oo a a ——— Pama t “Our Class of 1914 eclipses all others that have gone before in dear old Ports- mouth High School. Thirty-seven in our graduating class and we have had such good times this year! We’ve organized a Tennis Club, Dramatic Club, French Society and Jefferson Literary Society, and then, too, three new subjects have been added to our curriculum this year—Domestic Science, Domestic Art and the Commercial Course. We’ve also published the firs Annual.” “How interesting,” said Marjorie, but the girl had gone only to be followed by three other former graduates and Marjorie caught their voices: “Our Class of ’17 has seventy-one graduates! Just think! And the first Latin organization was formed. The War has curbed some of our good times. Billy Gardner, violinist in our orchestra, has been called to go in training.” The sound of the girl’s voice was followed by another. “Hurrah! We, the distinguished Class of 1919 will graduate from the new Woodrow Wilson High School, even if we didn’t have the privilege of attending it.” The deeper voice of a young man followed. “My, I thought I’d surely get lost in this big building when I came from Port Norfolk in September of ’20. Seven hundred and fifty students in Assembly. That’s some crowd! And those locker keys! Will we ever be able to keep from losing them? My, I hope [ll be accepted as a football candidate. Mr. Sweeney’s called the first meeting. Cafeteria, hot soup! Oh, boy, I’m sure going to like it at Wilson High.” “Well,” thought Marjorie, “I hope he didn’t tire of the soup.” There’s another girl. Why, I know her! She graduated in ’22. “How little we thought we would outgrow our new High School almost as soon as we were established—and now an annex, a library and one hundred twenty- three graduates. My, I must hurry and practice for our Senior Class play, [GharleyicsAun ts: Marjorie jumped to her feet in confusion. “‘What could that loud noise be? Oh, someone has thrown this book on the desk! Why, it’s the first ‘President’— 1923—have I been dreaming? Why, no, impossible, for I surely have been enter- tained by the students of Yesteryear.”’ Marjorie Copp, Alumni Editor. Our Last Will and Testament We, the Class of 1925, claiming to be in sound mind, in spite of the burdens which have been placed on our brains during the last four years by studies, do hereby draw up, ordain and publish this, our first last will and testament: Firstly: As no class for the last twenty-five years has left Mr. Codd a whistle, we leave him one. Secondly: To Miss Bain, we bequeath the necessary amount with which to place upon the southeast corner of the school a set of signal lamps, which would flash white, green and red as the various bells ring before nine A. M. Thirdly: To Mr. Sweeney we leave a bag-pipe. Fourthly: To Miss Johnston, we give a hired man whose duty it will be to throw out the windows, choke, wring the neck, etc., of the various students whom she wishes done in these ways. Fifthly: To Mr. DeLappe, we bequeath another scale to rap on the desk, when he wishes to say, ““Let’s get down to work, boys.”’ Sixthly: To Annie Calvert, we leave unsold tickets to various shows, to write excuses on. Seventhly: To the ninth period inmates of 104, we leave an order on Mr. Stertzbach, with which a picture will be made of the noble group. Eighthly: To Miss Katherine Timberlake, we bestow an oyster to open and close when she wants to emphasize something, so as to save wear and tear on her hands. Ninthly: To Mr. Walker, we bequeath an electric knocker which will knock every ten seconds, so as to give his ring a rest. Tenthly: ‘Yo the Dramatic Club, and particularly the stage hands, we leave our sincere hopes that some day our stage will be altered so that drop curtains can be used. Eleventhly: Yo all the students, and for the benefits of the janitresses, we leave an instruction book on “How to Keep Paper Of the Floor.” = ag TITS ee me an Twelfthly: To Miss Devilbiss, for the same reason as for Mr. Codd’s gift, we leave a book on contemporary verse. Thirteenthly: ‘We bequeath the Juniors and Sophs the happy thoughts of becoming Seniors next year and the year following that. Fourteenthly Yo the Rats we leave what’s left. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have to thig our will, set our hand, this graduation day of June, 1925. iPS BINIORS Class: Signed, published and declared by The Senior Class as and for their last will and testament, in the presence of us, who, in their presence and at their request, have hereunto signed as witnesses thereto.

ARTE AAR MN 5, es Baby Day at Wilson— Listen, my friends, to something gay: April first was baby day. Babies short, babies tall, Babies large, babies small. Some had all day suckers, Some had dollies dear, Some had funny animals That really did look queer. But some who are so dignified, Surely thought it awful When coming on to school that day They encountered such a carful. And all day long you heard the call Of Janes, Corettas and Mollies, But truly it wasn’t the Seniors at all, Twas only the babies’ dollies. So all day long they romped and played, And when the last bell sounded, They scampered home with books and toys, For Baby Day had ended. ADE a eee Many cameras are broken by the taking of statistics pictures.

Senior Class Song Music by Miss PattiE PEARSON Words by H. Braxton ROUNTREE Wilson High, dear Wilson High, I love your fame in years gone by, And can’t restrain a longing tear— The parting day now draws so near. I love your halls, their echos, too; I love your clubs and members true, Your spirit fills my soul and heart— I regret that we must part! Oh! Junior Class, I bid adieu And leave a record here for you. Excell! Excell! howe’er you may, And you will win your fame some day. Keep up your scholarship so high And keep your eyes upon the sky; Uphold your honor and your name In the class and in the game. Farewell, Oh! Sophs and Freshmen, too, For soon our journey will be through; And we could not with conscience clear Leave you without a wish sincere. To all who hear us, now farewell! This melancholy anthem swell To worlds of joy and worlds of pain In which, by chance, we meet again. ec: = tay (1 ees Dae ., PRESIDENT _ Class Poem of '25 Twas nineteen hundred and twenty-one, Our high school life had just begun, How well we remember ae Ratdom days, When we scurried along, in our many ways And our lockers we closed, without a sound, For fear that we in the halls would be found. In awe we held the Piper then When from his trumpet a blast would send, In that first year we did our work, And never a class did we dare to shirk, And we learned to love old Wilson Hi, And to know her better as the days went by. In our Sophomore year we realized more, The good times Wilson held in store, To the games we went, with pep and vim And with yells and shouts we helped to win, Those fights with Maury, our rival of old, And the tale of our victories will long be told. In our Junior year, there was fun for all, As we joyously prepared our banquet hall. With the help of Miss James, so true and wise, None other better, could we find to advise. And on our lessons we worked with zeal And many joys did our books reveal. Seniors we came to be at last. The head of the school—this year did pas s, With months that flew as if on wings And with our laughter the halls, still rings Miss Smith, our advisor, our help, and our guide When we were in trouble has stood by our side. Through these four years, we have kept alive The friendly class spirit of ’25. And as from Wilson’s portals we pass We hand on the torch to the Junior Class. And Freshmen and Sophs, may your aims be high And your love for Wilson never die. —Katherine D.

II] But when the clouds were dark and low, And my heart was filled with fear, My way was rough, my steps were slow And no helping hand was near. IV A little laughter, sometimes a tear, With the days drifting far away, Sunshine and shadows all thru the year, Making our hearts sad or gay.

With a large enrollment is should be very easy for a club or paper to carry forward its work. It is possible, however, where the students co-operate and nelp by doing their share. Though there are thirteen hundred pupils at Wilson the support of the Student for the last year has not been good. The circulation has been poor. If this does not pick up, its financial condition will soon be in a b ad state of affairs. Then besides this, the general attitude toward the paper is not good. There is no enthusiasm or “pep,” and seemingly not much interest. The students forget that the Student is theirs. It does not belong to the staff. The staff is only elected to publish the paper, and it is no easy job. Next September begins a new year. A new staff enters upon its duties. For the sake of your paper next year we are asking that you give it your hearty support at all times. Get interested and stay so, get behind the staff and assist it. Become a rooter for the Student! —___@—__—_— Miss Anna: ‘‘Yes, I have a rather re- markable class this term.

Circulation Manager M. Shannon Morton Raculey Advi Mary Beaton Gibbs { AEN The ideals of a school, its spirit, its progress, are embodied in the student publication. It is the medium of expression for the student body; it is the one bond of union throughout the school; it forms the one rendezvous, so to speak, of all the classes of a school, Freshman and Senior meeting on equal terms. It has been our experience that a weekly publication is the more successful for the general school paper. In this are combined all the school news, the best of our literary productions, timely editorials, striking feature articles, and such other material that is of interest or value to the students. If a school possesses that abstract, phantom- like, alluring quality, commonly referred to as school spirit, it is actually photographed in the pages of its weekly paper. No other demonstration is quite so true as the mute print of our paper. It is the spirit of the school, it is the organ, the voice of the school; it is the school. Into the paper goes the best of us, whether it be wit or humor, philosophy or poetry, joy or sorrow, contentment or longing. It is the bulletin for all the news; it furnishes publicity for all school organiza- tions. Every week we eagerly devour the contents of the paper. It is the symbol of Wilson’s steady operation of the vast machinery inclosed in the walls of ‘the building. It is a manifestation of the high character of the student body. To publish a weekly paper is a most difficult task. Only perseverance and perfect ¢o- operation make it possible. All the students are spurred on by the old motto, ‘‘Try, try again,’ in their efforts to make their pro- ductions worthy of publication. They realize that the weekly paper is their own property, not the property of the staff. Then at once we realize the inestimable value of the weekly paper even if it served no purpose but as an incentive for the efforts of the students. The paper is the center of the school life; if it should be removed, can we not logically think that school life would die? It radiates enthusiasm, it creates intensive interest among the students. We believe that the weekly paper is of such value as to be called the supreme accomplishment of the high school. ———— THE STUDENT To me it seems that Wilson High, Her standards true, Escaping vice and lowly thought Snows others, too, The way to gain the best in life— Upholding fun; Daring always to play the game— Excelled by none; Never to tarnish Wilson’s name— This is the student's worthy aim. ——__ I used to love my teacher, She used to give me ‘A.’ She came to know me better And now I love her, nay. , of a Weekly School Publication ATHLETICS AN ASSET Athletics are an asset to the high school first because they cause competition and where competition is found you will always find that work is more perfect. The students who make an athletic record are often the students who work hardest. Some people would ask why a high school athlete works harder than a student who is not interested in athletics and that is simple to answer. The athletes have to keep up their studies to maintain an average tnat will keep them on the team. They also have to sacrifice a large amount of time because of the practice that is neces- sary to produce good teams. Thus athletics do play an important part in high school work because they bring the students up to a higher standard. = re THE HARDEST JOB As I pondered deep one lonly day, in the Student office across the way, I chanced to list to the chatter and talk of some of the Student Staff in from a walk. poem,” cried one, “My kingdom for verse! The things that we get simply couldn’t be worse.”” And “‘O, for a story!” another one said, “If I don’t get one soon, why I'll likely be dead!” ‘This blamed editorial— gloomy and trite,” growled a third as his last inspiration took flight. And so it went on and the Student came out and was greeted by all with a glad, happy shout.

Now, however, we wish to impress the fact upon the world in general that the Council has aimed at a high mark this year and, we believe, has attained it. The increasing number of students has made the work of the Council spread into a wider field of service—our duty has been to maintain the high ideals of our school, and we have fulfilled this duty to the best of our ability. Our greatest accomplishments have been thru co-operation. Mr. Codd has led with the faculty ever ready to do their share in this great and really important work. Best of all, we feel that the high school boys and girls have gained many valuable character aids. To all of you school, faculty and student body, we leave our hopes for future years.

During the year the society held, in addition to routine meetings, several at which questions of today, such as the trolley-car—motor-bus situation, the K. kK. K. and the question concerning the state issue of bonds for the state institutions of higher learning. The Woodrow Wilson, with the aid of the Lanier, on George Washington’s birthday, put on a programme for the student body which was one of the best presented in the Auditorium this year. At this meeting, various readings, dis- courses and a sketch about the home life in Colonial days was presented. The society went whole-heartedly into the state question for debate: “‘Re- solved, that the State of Virginia Should Amend its Constitution, so as to Enable it to Issue $15,000,000 to Rebuild its State Institutions of Higher Learning to Meet the Demands of the Twentieth Century.”’ After much elimination, Leonard Davis, Jr., and Arthur P. Henderson were selected as the two best debaters and pitted against the Lanier. Second only to the elimination debates was the reading contest held among the members of the society who wished to contend. In the final elimination, Arthur Henderson was selected to meet the outside schools. en ae he SS eh ae st Ee Coat Be eo PRESIDENT _ (= oS Sa .

This year saw our new Woodrow Wilson High School swing its doors open for the first time. Simultaneously with this opening was the organization of the Shakespearean Literary Society under the supervision of Misses Lelia James and Virginia Griffith. The purpose of this society was to fraternize the bond between the Sophomore girls and to promote literary activities, chief of which was to be the study of the great dramatist. Our colors are Green and White. Our motto, “To thine own self be true.’ Our flower is the fragrant Lily of the Valley and our slogan, “If you want to have a good time, join the Shakespearean.” ALAIOOS AUVYALIT NVAYVAdSHAVHS TRE ee ee Shakespearean Club Tune “MARYLAND, MY MARYLAND” I If you think your club’s the best, Tell them so!

The people, who believing those in bliss who do not study Latin because they think it is hard and dry, are certainly in bliss if the old saying is true that “Ignorance is bliss.” Just for the fun of it, the sheer worth and enjoyment of it, let’s briefly review this year’s meetings. The first meeting, in October, was an organization meeting, with our Worthy Primus Consul, L. Mahlon Harrell, Jr., doing most of the organizing. A short program was rendered and we managed to be organized enough to enjoy our refreshments. In November our real fun began, with a fine program. We really did enjoy it, even if the song books did come and the “‘choir’’ (?) endeavored to lead us in “Gaudeamus Igitur.”’ In the November meeting we planned a Latin program for the auditorium for December, and you bet your life we had it. In this program, by Christmas carols, sung in Latin, papers and readings, the Discipuli Antiquorum contributed to the school one of the most beautiful and impressive entertainments of the year. This took the place of the regular meeting, but that afternoon we were treated to the best refreshments and we just had the grandest time!!! In the January meeting besides the regular enjoyable program we made the final decision about a “Movie” and in place of our February meeting we showed “Spartacus,” a story of the gladiators of ancient Rome, securing enough money to purchase some books. And the March meeting! Oh, those adorable little cross-word puzzles in form of wise, old blinking owls which tested our knowledge of Latin, besides being too sweet for words for memory books. The program was also most inter- esting, to say nothing of the refreshments. The April meeting we spent our time studying Roman foods and an enjoyable fruit and vegetable contest was indulged in. Afterwards some Roman berries were passed around in form of delicious strawberry short-cakes. Lastly, the May meeting, the outing, the election of officers, the completion of the year’s work, the final farewell of the Seniors. —Margaret ‘fohnson.

Is it the man or woman with an automobile or with a few dollars? No. It is the man or woman who is truthful, faithful, loyal, ambitious, yearning for greater things, and independence of thought. “Man’s reach must exceed man’s grasp Or what's a heaven for?” Recall! all the great statesmen. Did not they possess these qualities? Yes. Washington was the leader in the molding of the states into the greatest nation the world has ever known—The United States of America. Wilson gave his life striving to put into operation World Peace. He felt that Washington’s work was in danger, thus he formulated a plan for peace, The League of Nations. Thus, my fellow students, you can see that he who amounts to anything must never relinquish his duties. The policy of every one should be to guide “‘life’s”’ ship to ascending waters. You should not be contented with what you have and what others have done, but work, work, work, to obtain the best this beautiful world offers. Your object should be to leave behind a record so great that the coming generation will have to be loyal, faithful, truthful, ambitious, and of a yearning disposition to surpass your records. Are you going to do this and how? Independence of thought, vision, and character will make each individual a person that counts. It has been the purpose of the Commercial Club to put before its members this policy, that they might become men and women who will count in this world of beauty, joy and opportunity. “Lives of great men all remind us We tan make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Foot-prints in the sand of time.” —Lillian Walston, ’25.

The “Christ way” for everyday living means to a Girl Reserve simple gracious- ness; constant and consistent impartiality; readiness for service, however humble and insignificant; unwavering, unqualified loyalty to friends; an eager desire for knowledge of the beautiful and the worthwhile in life and in living; a sincerity and earnestness of purpose which leads ever upward and outward; a sense of re- sponsibility which not only begins a task, but also finishes it; a control of self which makes for a body and a mind clean and pure in all ways; and a reverence in worship that recognizes Christ as the Light and the Way. This and much more does the Girl Reserve code strive to symbolize to every Girl Reserve. It is from the visions of youth that come inspirations to make tomorrow better than today. Visions come from a believing in belief, from believing in love and loveliness, from a spirit which hates wrong and injustice, which strives for a “best” that has God for its goal and Christ’s standards as its test for action—a spirit which sees, in the shadows of the great trees and in the go'd of the sunset, a God not old but young, who calls youth to follow Him and find eternal life. This is the meaning to a Girl Reserve of the keynote of her code “reverent to God”; it is the giving of self in love for God and love for man, love expressed in terms of human helpfulness. Towards this and from this all the rest of the code leads, helping every Girl Reserve to find for herself and others the “life abundant.” Bessie LyncuH INEZ Guinnern NaANcy DeHEnte SHriendship Club Jutta PENDERGRAPH Miss Horton Miss GEORGE Miss Hupson Brapy, MarGARETTA Carrot, Etta CLEMENTS, ELsIe DeBerry, Nancy Deans, MILDRED Dutine, JEANNETTE Dunn, ELizaBerTH Grim_es, Daisy Haines, HELEN Ha tt, Onivia Hart, Ruru Hines, JANE Hurcuins, CHARLOTTE IrvinG, MARGARET Lyncu, BEssIE iB) ie.

But we'll not forget our Mother Alma Mater, home of yore, And on her we'll breathe a blessing And good wishes by the score.

The council, re-inspired by new blood, had a year which was more than successful. This year’s council put on a programme of good feature pictures which were above the average shown here in the past. Besides these pictures one or two were secured for different organizations, and a series of industrial films for the science students. Feeling that there is a bright future for motion pictures at this school, we wish next year’s council the best of luck. What's On the Menu? (Note: In some parts of India horses, dogs, cats, rats, etc., are highly esteemed as delicacies of food.) Once there was a little puppy, Rambling, gamb’ling down the road, Along there came a wicked villain Dr iving a howling, yelping load. Puppy, beware, here comes the dog-catcher, Puppy, beware, run fast or he’ll snatchya, Beware of his loop, beware of his net, Beware or the soup will claim you yet. Horsie wouldn’t pull his wagon, Wouldn’t do any work at all, Loafed all day, eating hay, Took things easy in his stall. Look out, horsie, better do your stuff, Your master’s getting ready to call your bluff, The cauldron’s hot waiting for you, And your master’ll soon be eating of a nice horse stew. An alley cat sat on the back fence Yodeling to the starry sky, A man crept up with a brick in his hand And at that alley cat let fly. Kitty, beware, before he nabs you, Run away before he grabs you, He'll pick you up with a left hand scoop, And your remains will flavor a bowl of soup. —Benson Crockin, ’25. iy a reer _-’ PRESIDENT es: es =————! _-¥ SO - a Se Home Economics Club S| je OFFICERS 2 GARNE EUs ION KiNG nen ae ae ; oe Pee The aN ae President Mba) YW 5, nn ee ee EP ey iCeRE resident Camvunoyrms ISG 4 5. bo o Go 2 a © dp 6 Soate @ o so oe eeRaiBy HELEN SCHNEIDER ee OP a Akt Be: ee hee. ee ee cee en Pea SUTCT S| je MEMBERS Batiarp, Marion Hupoins, ELEANOR BELL, JANIE JernicAN, Rut Berson, Rutu KemprrF, ALICE BERSON, SHERLEY KNEEBURG, EVELYN DeBerry, Nancy LittTLe, JEANETTE Borp, Dorotray Majette, JuLia Brapy, MARGARETTA MarKHAM, CATHERINE Bioom, LILLIAN MareELL, EDNA Burkett, THELMA Owens, ALBERTA BurkKETT, GENEVA PicHoLec, Bessie Burke, Lucy ParKER, MARGARET Bussy, Emity Pope, CLaupIA Dunn, ELizaBeTH ReEFrRESKY, Mary ELEY, GRACE SCOFIELD, FRANCES Go.psiarttT, Lyp1a SHaw, ELEANOR GoopMan, ELLA SHACKELFORD, ADNA GoopMAN, FANNIE ScHmipT, LORRAINE Hart, Rutu Tucker, VIRGINIA HerBner, MarruHa Turner, [pay Harris, EpNA WIiLttAmson, Doris Hopces, Nancy Wooparpb, CLartsso Hopces, Mary WoopHouwsE, GRACE Home Economics Club HE Home Economics Club was organized February 14, 1924. The cooking and sewing classes met in the auditorium on that memorable day for the purpose of organizing. Club officers were elected, colors and a motto were selected, a creed was adopted, and henceforth the Home Economics Club got “underway” and began its work to help prepare the girls to be better students. The club work was resumed the following Séptember under the direction of Misses Porter and Timmons, with Garnett Tonkin as President. Meetings were held every second and fourth Tuesdays and interesting programs were arranged by Dorothy Bord, Chairman of the Entertainment Committee. These programs consisted of talks on foods, the value of Home Economics, games and refreshments. During the spring socials and picnics were enjoyed by the members of the club. CONSTITUTION Section 1.

We are greatly awed by the number of initials carved in the desks. Are also awed by the faculty, the lack of rugs, the size of the rats, the dumbness of high school pupils, the age of sandwiches, football players, and even the man with the whistle. We learn that there is a detention room and don’t think we like that very much. We are taught that the thirty-minute period is sacred, begin to think it amounts to something, believe that the word Wilson is a pass-word to heaven, and become intimate with the Sophomore class. We leave for vacation, to show our fond parents a child of whom to be proud.

We talk about “when we were Freshmen,” “how we are going to make out millions,” ‘““‘what we did when we were fourteen now that we are fifteen,” and “how to skip classes without getting caught.” «e Pass enough work to return as a Junior in the Fall.

Decide that everything is fine except the detention room, that the thirty- minute period is really sacred, that the high school songs and yells are more sweet to our ears than ever, and that the air itself is supersaturated with goodness. Begin to figure how we can graduate by attending two summer schools and passing six subjects a half instead of our usual five. Begin to think we see the light. Are awed at nothing, but effervesce with admiration for everything, setting an example to the world by grinning perpetually and eternally. Decide to go to college. Leave for home to broadcast to tlhe world that we are Seniors. (The orchestra plays “Sunshine Will Follow the Rain,” but our hopes fall with the curtain, nevertheless.)

Decide to go to the devil instead of College. Then decide we'll not go any- where except home. Find some easy subjects and are thereby enabled to graduate. Understand, strange to say (we being educated) that we are entitled to undergo that sublime torture known as graduation. Are horded together in gowns of grey, and have the Principal, himself, hand us a statement that a group of mere men consider us fairly educated. Clear out our lockers for the last time, wondering what we'll do now; and go home to show our parents how we fooled them. (Curtain collapses in a faint.) GUC ATINGS PEE GE In which we try to convey the idea that thus it has been, and thus it 1s to be; but to eliminate any anxiety on the part of the audience as to the final outcome, we state that everything comes out all right and we become historians, chemists, cooks, scientists, teachers, mathematicians, painters and dress-makers, as was originally intended. And with that we bid all those who have remained, who are only our- selves, a fond good night. —lilhan 7. Glazer, 25.

Bennett I] Lilac Time (The following story won first place in the annual President Short-Story Contest) JIT TER-PATTER, pitter-patter, came down the rain upon the roof of the old ‘““Milstead Mansion,” for so it had been called since 1704. “Goodness gracious, if it keeps on raining in this manner, I see where I go to no masquerade ball this night,” sighed Susanne Milstead LS ==! Mason, as she ascended the last step and made her entrance into the dust and cobwebs of the bi igattic. “Ill try to sooth my ruffled feelings by applying to them that age-old maxim, ‘April showers bring May flowers.’ However, I'll look for the Silver Lining,” she sang to herself. And such a smile it was! Why anyone would be willing to walk a million miles for one of them! And Susanne had such an ancestry. And Susanne was so charming. And Susanne was such a beauty—a true Southern beauty, too; her golden curls tucked girlishly upon her pretty head and her dark brown eyes just ‘twinkling—for Susanne was so thrilled. “T wonder what’s in Grandmother’s big old chest that I can wear. I'll look and see.” She walked over to the big old carved chest in the corner, pulled it into the middle of the floor and after she had tinkered with the ponderous brass lock, the top flew back and a sweet perfume scented the whole attic. “Dear old Grandmother, what a dainty little old lady she must have been to have had such lovely clothes and to have kept them in such perfect order. But alas, Fate has decreed that Miss Susanne III is not to be as Miss Susanne I was. She must have had incalculable lovers, and I have none.” She lifted up the folds of something light and flimsy with orange blossoms tacked at intervals on it. ““This was Grandmother’s wedding veil and here’s the wedding dress. It’s most yellowed with age now and some of the pearls are crumbling. But it’s so lovely,” she said reverently. “T wonder what this is! Oh, it’s one of the little lace gloves without fingers they wore when she was a girl. And here’s something else that looks interesting; it was a dinner frock. I suppose I love old rose and silver. And here are the little slippers Grandmother wore with it. Let’s see if they’ll fit me.” So Susanne tried to squirm and squeeze a number five foot into a number one shoe. “I bet these shoes didn’t fit her, I just bet they didn’t, she had them to put in her chest so the following generations could praise and envy her for possessing such a tiny foot. Huh, when I get old I am going to do that, too. Ill try this old rose dress and see how it looks on me!” She put on the lovely old gown and stood in front of the dusty pier glass surveying herself, ““No, Susanne III, Susanne I may have worn rose well, but you can’t; take this dress off.” eee gece er The 2s SE er PRESIDENT _ Removing the dress, she then returned to the chest. The next thing in the chest under the old rose and silver was something lavender. She carefully lifted it from its place and brought it to the top. “Lavender and old, lace, how very lovely,’ she murmured. She unfolded the dress, and as she did something fell to the floor. Susanna stooped to pick it up and found that it was a beautiful little white leather bound “Diary.” She sat down beside the chest and opened it to the first page and read: ‘““Miss Susanne Alicia Milstead.”” Then the book fell open to a page where a sprig of pressed lilac blossoms was placed. And on that page she read: “April 25, 1835.” “This day was my birthday. I write these few lines tonight with a very sad heart and shall always remember this, my eighteenth birthday, as the saddest of my life. (As the tears drop they splatch the new ink). Dear Talbot has left me forever and my father is all the cause. Why was he so heartless? Why does he object so to my marrying a boy poorer than myself? This world is so cruel. I wish I were as poor as Talbot, then it wouldn’t make any difference. I fear my father does not understand the true meaning of love. Tonight my lover is far away and I shall never, never see him again. Tonight when he kissed me fare- well, he told me I looked so beautiful in my new lilac trimmed in the old cabinet lace; then he picked a sprig of lilac from the bush by the doorway and gave it to me for a remembrance of him. I shall press the little sprig. | Tomorrow [’ll have my picture made in this lilac dress and send it to him to prove that my love will be faithful. Oh! my Talbot, dear Talbot Lewis, never let time make you forget me and my eternal love for you.” “That’s queer, today is April 25 and that day was April 25; Grandmother was just eighteen and I’m just eighteen, but she was in love and I’m not,” she sighed. “I know Grandmother was sad to have had her father refuse her to the boy she loved the best because he didn’t have quite as much money as the Mil- steads. He must have had some money for often I’ve passed the big old Lewis homestead around on Hill Street. It’s a dreary old place and hasn’t been occupied for years. Ive often wondered why someone didn’t live there, now I know. “Tl try this dress on and see how I look in it.” Susanne tried it on, and peeping in the mirror hastily exclaimed, “I'll wear this dress tonight. I wonder what gloves she wore with it?” Going back to the chest, beneath the place where the dress had lain, she found a pair of lilac lace fingerless gloves and a little all-over lace handkerchief. “There, I’m all ready for the ball,” she thought, as she took the finery off and carefully folded it up to take to her room, ‘“‘but I do wish I had someone to take me.” The dinner gong sounded. She hastily gathered up the clothes and ran to the window to see if it was still raining. The rain had stopped and the setting sun was beginning to peep thru the gray clouds. During dinner she told Aunt Gene about the lovely dress of Grandmother’s she was going to wear. bees i 2 SS Ae ee ae es, ce eS SSS “Susanne II will be down in a little while, Aunty-and you will think it’s Susanne I stepped from her picture on the drawing room wall,” she cried gleefully to Aunt Gene as she ran up the highly;polished staircase. And Susanne did certainly primp. She wore her best silver slippers with the little rhine-stone buckle; the lovely, lovely lilac dress; tucked those pretty curls up high on her head and caught them with a little diamond studded comb; tied a band of black velvet around her neck and wrists; wore the little gloves, and last of all put on a small black velvet mask. If only Susanne’s mirror were here to tell the story to you! The door bell rang and she heard the crowd of boys and girls come into the house. Hurriedly she grabbed a black lace shawl and was gone. “All ready,” she cried to the crowd from the top step. The boys and girls stared when she walked down the stairway, the glow of the candlelight on the beautiful old furniture, the whole pervading atmosphere made such a background for Susanne that an artist would have yearned for his canvas and brush. She was lovely, and compliments were showered upon her. Bob was taking them in his car tonight, that is, just their particular little crowd. A big crowd was expected at the club and pretty little Pat, Susanne’s best pals raving on to Susanne, “Sue, we’ll meet that handsome new lawyer to- night; Lib says he’s se : “What new lawyer?” asked Susanne. “Oh! Haven’t you heard, dear? Why, Talbot Lewis, who has come back to inhabit the long forsaken ancestral home on Hill Street. He just arrived in town last night.” “Talbot Lewis, Talbot Lewis, where have I heard that name before?” thought Susanne. And then she realized where she had seen it—in Grandmother’s Diary. At the club Mr. Lewis was the center of attraction—quite the rage. Hand- some, wealthy by inheritance and a prosperous young lawyer. When he saw Susanne, he thought, ““Where have I seen a lilac dress like that one before? I know that picture Grandad worships so is of a girl in a lilac dress, a girl whose features are just like this girl’s, a girl who lived in this town and whose autograph on that Picture was Susanne Milstead. Ill find out this girl’s name. May be that she is a granddaughter or something. However, she’s a beautiful creature, just like the one in the picture.’ Talbot had the first dance and, in fact, monopolized Susanne all evening. She was so charming, and then, too, he felt as though he had somewhat of a claim on her through the claim of hie Giindad for her Grandmother (for he assumed she was the granddaughter of Susanne Milstead). When the time for unmasking was announced his assumption was affirmed and he felt a stronger claim. The glorious evening waned and Talbot asked, ““Miss Milstead”’— “Just Susanne, please.” Pe ee re The 3 he etane ! es PRESIDENT _ “Just Susanne, may J have the pleasure of accopanying you home tonight?” he asked. “You may, Talbot,” she replied. During the ride home under the beautiful moon in his dandy little roadster, Talbot told her how he recognized her as the Susanne Milstead of the Lilacs and of his Grandad’s heart. But of course, she wasn’t “the”? Susanne, but ‘“‘a’”’ Susanne of the Lilacs; was not “the”? Susanne of his Grandad’s heart, but the Susanne of the Grandson’s heart (he truly hoped she would be). Though never a word of this hope did he impart to her, for this was just the begtnning. The lilac bush near the doorway of the “Milstead Mansion” was in full bloom and the boy and girl tarried there beneath it just amoment to admire it. He picked a sprig of the fragrant blossoms and put it in her hair. “Will you play tennis with me tomorrow afternoon out at the club?” he asked her. “Yes, I'd love to, but I’m afraid you'll have to coach me.” “Tl just love to coach you!” he cried, and Aunt Gene at the front door, ready to open it for Susanne, heard Talbot’s “Good-night, lovely Lady of the Lilacs,” and then only a soft laugh and “‘good-night” from Susanne. —Catherine B.

It is doubtful whether anyone else could have trained them as efficiently as Landis has. To him much of the credit is due for the high standard of athletics in Wilson Hi, a standard seldom equalled, and never surpassed. WHITE In addition to her duties as girls’ gym teacher, Miss White has turned out one of the best basketball teams that ever shot a goal for Wilson. She has injected into her girls her own spirit and pep and through her able help and direction has made them the Champions of Eastern Virginia. COX It is to Cox that we are indebted for two things: First, the introduction into W. W.H. S. of intramural athletics, now an integral part of the school; and second, the development of our track team, the most ambitious effort that has yet been made in that branch of sport. ps Set : pau) Aeae ie PRE! SIDENT _ Che Football Team ALEX SMILE: Alex, captain, has played his fourth year on the squad. He played a good, steady game through the whole season. He was a bulwark in the line. GEORGE HOLCOMB. “Hokie” is just a natural born football player. He has played every position on the team except guard and quarter. He possesses the real Wilson “‘do or die” spirit on both the defensive and offensive plays. “Hokie” is a deadly tackler WILLIAM SCOTT. Bill is an excellent end. Ask Maury—they know. Bill is the fastest man on the team. This quality he uses to a good advantage in stopping fast end runs. Bill is the best forward pass catcher in Eastern Virginia. BAULRPOW EIU: New at school this year, Paul, captain-elect, stepped right into the midst of things. He played every game hard and the result was that he played every game well. BRAXTON ROUNTREE. “Rounie,” as you know, is the big boy who is taller than the rest, plays center and incidentally plays it well. Rountree played his best and last game for Wilson against Roanoke. KIRK BURCH. Burch, another one of the steam-roller, plays a hard and steady game. We are expecting good things from Burch in the future. EUGENE HINMAN. “Tubby” received injuries at the beginning of the season but he made up for lost time when he recovered. “Tubby” has another year on the team which will save the trouble of training a new guard for next year. EDWIN TOONE. Eddie, a small but hard working guard, made the squad his first year out. His steadiness made him a real asset to the team. Toone graduates this year and will be unable to help the steam-roller roll in the future. PERCY WARREN. Percy made his letter this year. He proved himself an invaluable guard. He was instrumental in breaking up more than one of our opponents’ plays. JAK EaM LIGIER RS Jake broke his collar bone and was unable to play in any of the games. There is no doubt that Jake would have strengthened the game. He showed his spirit by always being there when there was anything to be done. GUINTONSBWILER: Clinton -made his letter this, his first year, and has three more years to go. Although a new man, the stiff competition of the captain and a former captain was the only thing which kept him from being a regular. RAYMOND HUTCHINS. “Zacum’s” good headwork played a large part in the strength in the team of °24. “Zacum”’ is always good for a gain through tackle. He scored touchdown in the 14-7 Maury game on a 22-yard run. That was a play we won't forget. RAYMOND CREEKMORE. “Creeky,” a half and quarter, showed up well this year. ““Creeky’’ is a good man on off tackle plays but he excels in running back punts. ROBERT. ELLIS “Scat,” a fine substitute backfield man, showed many opposing ends his heels. “‘Scat’’ also knows how to give good interference. HORACE HARRELL. Horace excels in line plunging. He plays exceptionally hard and steadily. We are expecting great things from him next year. PHIL EAs P EAR Spear started the season with long gains on end runs. In the U. of R. game he received an injury to his knee which handicapped him until the end of the season, when he recovered. He succeeded in gaining by long end runs and often good gains thru tackle. Spear played his best games against Hampton and Roanoke, making a forty-yard run in the Roanoke game. MAX LEITMAN. Maxie’s trusty toe has many times brought Wilson out of deep holes. Besides being able to kick a ball he can pass with an unerring eye. Max is a good line plunger and a deadly tackle. sn ee “The ———— PRESIDENT Che Football Season WILSON 44—SUFFOLK 0 The Jefferson eleven bowed to the Presidents by the score of 44 to 0. The winner was never in doubt, Wilson having a margin of 19 points before the end of the first quarter. The entire Wilson team played a good game on both offensive and defensive. Spear, Holcomb, Ellis, and Hutchins were the point-getters for the Presidents. Between them seven touchdowns were scored. Scat‘ Ellis played his best game of the season, scoring two touchdowns. Holcomb interrupted many of Suftolk’s passes, making them good for two touchdowns. Vis ONS 12—— SOU EENORKOEKSO In a hard and clean battle the Presidents succeeded in defeating the Tigers. The Wilson team showed superior head work. Harrell, who substituted for Leitman, proved himself a star, for he re- peatedly broke thru the Tiger line for substantial gains. Holcomb, Hinman, and Harrell played well for Wilson, while Pool, Smith and Morgan starred for South Norfolk. U. OF RICHMOND 0—WILSON 12 On October 7th the Presidents journeyed to Richmond to play the U. of R. Freshmen. By a score of 12-0 Wilson won this game, which was featured by end runs by Phil Spear. He scored twice. Hutchins showed his skill in running back punts. On receiving the ball he ran no less than 30 yards on each return. As a whole the team played splendidly against their much larger opponents. WILSON 13—PETERSBURG 7 Wilson played the ““cockade boys” in their own city and won this game 13 to 7, after a pretty return of a punt seventy yards and a touchdown by Spear. In this game our old tackle pass was brought into play, Butler receiving the pass and going for a touchdown. Bill Scott tried his stuff in the backfield during this game and proved to be some line plunger. WILSON-MAURY NEWPORT NEWS 9—WILSON 7 In a hard fought battle the Presidents bowed to the Shipbuilders. The feature of the game was a long run by Holcomb, who intercepted a pass to gain 54 yards. He was the outstanding star. Butler, Ellis, Spear and Leitman also deserve mention. The game in a nut shell is that the Wilson line failed to hold. HAMPTON 0—WILSON 20 The Presidents were administering a defeat to the Crabbers while the Tigers were giving the Com- modores the same dose. The Presidents completely outclassed the Crabbers in every department of the game. Phil Spear was circling the ends for gains of 20 to 50 yards, while Leitman was passing with the ability of a college man. Burch and Holcomb played the best defensive game, while Leitman, Hutchins, and Spear were good on the offensive game. Wilson registered thirteen first downs to Hampton’s two. THANKSGIVING—MAURY-WILSON Wilson journeyed to Norfolk and brought back a Turkey to the tune of 14 to 7. The game was fought hard, Maury scoring first in the second and third quarters. Wilson’s superior team could not be held in check by their less steady opponents. Hutchins furnished the thrill of the game by running 27 yards for a touchdown. Leitman, Scott, and Holcomb were the outstanding Wilson players, while Captain Anderson and Hofheimer deserve equal credit for Maury’s part. WILSON 6—MAURY 6 Presidents and Commodores battled fiercely to a 6-6 tie at the Portsmouth League Park. Both touchdowns being made via forward passes by Scott and Hofheimer. The Wilson team was not up to its usual standard, while the Commodores were weakened by the loss of Bloxom. Hutchins, Harrell and Leitman played best for Wilson, while Penzold was Maury’s star. ROANOKE In a hard fought battle the Presidents were defeated by Roanoke by the score of 8 to0. The game was filled with thrills, Roanoke having the ball with only four inches to go and four downs, was unable to score. Spear and Day were the outstanding stars, while Tooney, Gilbert, Holcomb and Scott displayed good football. The feature of the game was a long run by Spear that put Wilson out of danger. WILSON-ROANOKE ee ee eee Sea = WM. 5 ee 5, = PRESIDENT _ FOOTBALL TEAM ILSON’S role of graduates this year includes F boys and girls representing many different activities and interests in school. Ath- letically speaking, 1925 shines. Wilson is going to miss those athletes—boys and girls—from her Teams next year. They have made splendid records for Wilson, individually and collectively, and we’re proud of them. We’re wishing for them the same success in the world that they’ve had in athletics. The Athlete’s Braver Dear Lord, in the battle that goes on through life, I ask but a field that is fair, A chance that is equal with all in the strife, A courage to strive and to dare; And if I should win, let it be by the code With my faith and my honor held high; And if I should lose, let me stand by the road, And cheer as the winners go by. And Lord, may my shouts be ungrudging and clear, A tribute that comes from the heart, And let me not cherish a snarl or a sneer Or play any sniveling part; Let me say: “There they ride, on whom are laurels bestowed,” Since they played the game better than I.” Let me stand with a smile’by the side of the road, And cheer as the winners go by. So grant me to conquer, 1f conquer I can, By proving my worth in the fray, But teach me to lose like a regular man, And not like a craven, I pray; Let me take off my hat to the warriors who strode To victory splendid and high, Yea, teach me to stand by the side of the road And cheer as the winners go by. —Selected. a) | one The _ a hetraen ee = rae aS PRE IDEN] eet = ye ¢ Ne ( t (r o = , as G : ra ca ee nr —— pple poe A y—— SS = ' — are YN SSS LE BE ee == —= SSS SS = = ; Dy Se 8 rs 3 vw Bovs’ Basketball CREEKMORE “Creeky,” a substitute forward, played a good game whenever called upon. He is a fast man on the floor and always plays a hard game. HUGHES Joe, one of last year’s forwards, was shifted to guard this year. Joe made all the trips with the team and figured in many of Wilson’s victories. GEORGE HOLCOMB Captain Holcomb, the best floor man on the team, is also a good guard. He has a good eye on the basket, and leads the team in scoring. He played an outstanding game against Maury at Maury. HUTCHINS “Zacum” made a poor start, playing on the second team for the greater part of the season. In the last few games he became a first string man who had an unerring eye on the basket. “‘All’s well that ends well.” GARRETT Eddie, a former Wilson student, returned late in the season. He plays forward, being a good floor man and an excellent man under the basket. His late entrance left a good man to warm the bench. HOZIER Hozier, the little forward, made the squad this year and played in most of the important games. He has speed and is a good all- round man. “Lefty” could use the pivot and leave the best guard flat-footed. Bovs Basketball PAUL POWELL Powell, captain-elect, a Cradock star, went out for basketball, and it didn’t take coach long to find out what was in him. He plays a hard and steady game. He is a good floor man and often puts the ball in the basket. MAX LEITMAN Leitman, the greater part of the season, played running guard. The forwards seldom get by him. Maxie has a way of snooking off and when the opposing team is unaware of him he shoots his basket. Bile COs Bill, although new at basketball this year, came thru astar. Bill started off the season playing guard then he was shifted to center to take the place of Holcomb, who became running guard. It takes a good man to get the tip-off from Bill. SPEAR Phil, for whom we have to thank Cradock, plays guard. Altho unable to be in some of this season’s games on account of sickness, he always “delivered the goods” when his chance came. BROOKS Cecil has the record of being one of the most efficient managers in the history of Woodrow Wilson High School. Cecil boosted the team in every possible way. Dec. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jian: Jan. Feb.

No one can deny that she is a wonderful player and in all the games she showed that old “Wilson Spirit” to fight to the last. FLORENCE HOLCOMB Forward Florence, our captain-elect, has ably showed her ability as a fine player. She has never failed to ring up goals for Wilson. Good luck to you, Florence, in leading the team of 1926. DORIST VICK Forward With “Ever dependable” as her motto, Doris was always there and never fell down on the job. Too much credit can not be given to Doris as a good basketball player. ELIZABETH WHITAKER Guard Elizabeth was always there to help hold down the opponents’ score and easily deserves a place among the first six. Keep up the good work! RUTH BROWN Jumping Center We were always confident of the top off for Ruth never failed us in this phase of the game. Her ability as a good player and jumper was never doubted. MARION HOLLOWAY Side Center If you want a man to play any position of the team just call on Marion. Her play at side center was unusually fine, as she was always there to get the ball. JOSEPHINE DILLON Sub-Guard We do not know what we would have done without Josephine. Whenever there was the place of guard to be filled she was always ready. VIRGINIA THOMAS Sub. Side Center Tho small of stature, “Jitney” was one of our fastest subs. In many games she showed her value to the teams. age aes PRE! SIDENT _ GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Girls’ Basketball REVIEW OF SEASON TIHE call for candidates late in November brought out many aspirants WW) and from this number it was indeed a puzzle to know who would be chosen to be among the first six. The girls settled down to heavy } and grim training, determined to make their team the best that had “) been in the school, and they succeeded. The first game was played on the twelfth of December. Other games fol- lowed and each team in turn bowed down in defeat to the Girl Presidents. The games were exciting and never once did the opposing team give in to the Wilson girls without a hard fight. The first game of the season was played in Franklin. This game was very one-sided and was merely practice for the Wilson team. The next four games were played on the home court. Each time we triumphed over the invaders, but not without some trouble on the part of the Wilson girls. Each one of these games was thrilling and they kept the onlookers excited until the last whistle sounded. The team then journeyed up to Suffolk and played the peanut girls. The game was one-sided but the Walter Reid girls did their best. The next game was played on the home court and as anticipated it was a very exciting game. The Wilson girls had to put up a strenuous fight to down Great Bridge. Then came a series of games to be played on foreign courts. These games were peppy and kept the people sitting on the edge of their seats until the last minute, but the teams couldn’t down the determination of our girls to win, and so the Girl Presidents brought home their opponents’ scalps under their belts. Only one game was forfeited; this game was forfeited to Wilson by South Norfolk. The Wilson girls now set out to win from Waynesboro in the semi-finals and their purpose was not in vain. Both teams fought until the very end, neither giving anything to the other without a fightl But Wilson proved too strong and beat Waynesboro by three points. Then came the day when Roanoke invaded Ports- mouth. Everyone knew it would be a fine game and so they all turned out. These people were not disappointed, for they saw the best game of the season. Each and every one of the Wilson girls showed their Wilson spirit and never gave up hope. None knew who was going to win. When the last whistle blew Roanoke had beaten the Presidents by two points. Roanoke team was State Champion team. For the first time in the history of the high school the girls were awarded gold basketballs. This was indeed a pleasant surprise for them. Those receiving them were Mildred Stewart, Captain; Florence Holcomb, Captain-elect; Doris Vick, Elizabeth Whitaker, Ruth Brown, Marion Holloway, Virginia Thomas, SS ee oS Se The ee ii, PRESIDENT _ Josephine Dillon, Garnett Tonkin, Manager, and Ruth White, Coach. Those who received letters and stars were Mildred Stewart, W and three stars; Florence Holcomb, W and one star; Elizabeth Whitaker, a W; Ruth Brown, W and one star; Marion Holloway, W and one star; Doris Vick, W and one star; Virginia Thomas, a W; Josephine Dillon, one W; Garnett Tonkin, a W. URIBULES TO SUBS In all our praise of the other members of the team do not let us forget or pass over lightly the subs. They have really been the backbone of the team. Without them what would our team have done? They were in training rules and did not miss any practices without some good excuse. Had it not been for these girls the regular team would not have been able to practice. The scrubs worked as hard as anyone. Some of these girls displayed their value in the games, but others, who though seldom seen, never fell down on the job. Among these girls are Josephine Dillon, Virginia Thomas, Virginia Welton, Virginia Whitson, Doris Marks, Garnett Tonkin, our manager, Lysle Calbreath and Eddie Carter. These girls were always ready to take the place of a varsity girl when needed in the game. They never forgot the responsibility which had been placed on them when they went into the game, but kept up the fight until the end, never missing the chance to make some play to help old Wilson win the game.

TRACK TEAM Crack OACH COX, upon the issuing of the call for track, reported that he had new material altogether with the exception of two men although two more veteran men turned out later. We consider his army has made a remarkable showing in the meets since the track is a baby sport at Wilson. In a dual meet with the Pharmacist Mates, the Presidents triumphed by the overwhelming score of 86-47. The points were made by Capt. Harper, Hughes, Kelly, Mathias, Criddle, Buckwalter, Burton, Colonna, Wayland, Thompson, Jeffries, Meacham, Jacobson and Burch. In a triangular meet between Maury, South Norfolk and Wilson the Presidents succeeded in capturing second place. Wilson showed up best in the sprints, Harper taking first place in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Jacobson succeeded in getting first place in the shot put. Kelly showed re- markable ability in the 220 yard low hurdles, getting first place. Herbert Robinson was the outstanding star for Maury, getting first place in the 440, 880 and mile. Criddle, Carson, Hughes, Burton, Creekmore and Mayo were the other Wilson men who scored. At Williamsburg in a meet between all the secondary schools in Tidewater Wilson participated. Under the circumstances, the Wilson men made a fine showing. The Wilson points were scored by Harper, Hughes, Kelly and Carson. Valuable experience was gained by all who participated in that meet. a a ed Cea is a PRESIDENT _ R Wilson carried only a few men to Charlottesville to participate in the State Meet. Wilson se- cured four fourth places. Capt. Harper lead his team mates by getting two of the four fourth places. Wilson suffered a great loss when Teddy Carson received an injury in the trial heats and when John Burton was spiked by one of his opponents.

Baseball ILSON’S baseball team, although not a championship one, showed a fine { spirit of sportsmanship this season. Tho handicapped by the loss of some valuable letter men the boys showed remarkable ability in playing ball. The Presidents opened the season with the Cradock team, which they defeated by the score 3-2. White led the Wilson boys with the stick, getting two hits out of three times at the bat, one of the hits being a double. Scott was 100% in batting, getting two singles out of twice up. The Wilson team had the slight edge in fielding, making only two errors to Cradock’s three. On April Fool’s Day the Commodores fooled the Presidents, nosed out by the score of seven to one. Leitman was the mainstay of the team, getting three singles out of four times up. The errors of the Presidents were enough to let any team win. Jefferson High School of Suffolk was at the mercy of the Presidents in a slugging battle in which the Presidents got twenty-three hits which were good for seventeen runs. ‘The eight hits allowed the Jefferson boys netted them seven runs. Leitman was the star, getting three singles and a double out of four times up. Harper also showed up well. The South Norfolk Tigers defeated the Presidents by the score of 14-4. Lee and Leitman were in the limelight for Wilson while the Stallings brothers looked out for South Norfolk. The Presidents were unable to bunch their hits so that they would mean runs. The Presidents defeated Hampton 6-2 with Early pitching. He allowed them only two runs, made in the fifth inning on three singles. Spear and Harper con- tributed the long drives thru the game, Spear getting one two base and a triple hit; Harper got a two-base and two single hits. The Tigers again defeated the Presidents 13-7 in a battle which was a nip and tuck affair until the ninth inning, when the Presidents allowed 5 runs to slip in. Leitman pitched a good game, but because of poor support lost out. The game was featured by Captain Scott’s base-throwing and a home run by Powell. The game with the Shipbuilders showed a decline in the Wilson boys, who were unable to get hits. The N. N. H. S. team, however, played a fine game, to come out the winners by a 6-4 score. The Presidents defeated the Shipbuilders by the score of 2-0 in a hot but clean battle. The game was featured by the timely pegging of Scott to the bases and Kirshon’s pitching. The Shipbuilders got 3 hits to Wilson’s 7, but were unable to win them into arun. Wilson’s scoring was done in the sixth and eighth innings. soe 7 hos PRESIDENT _ The Presidents defeated Oceana in a one-sided battle to the tune of 35-3. White, Kirshon, Claypool and Early displayed good form in the box, allowing Oceana only 4 hits. The wrecking crew worked nicely, Capt. Scott getting two home runs. The Presidents were defeated by the Commodores in the last league game by the score of 8-11. Wilson made seven runs in the second inning. The Commodores then tightened up and the Presidents were unable to make but one more run. Leit- man pitched good ball for the Presidents but at times he was wild. Capt. Scott and Powell played the best game for Wilson and both hit very well thruout the game. Parkerson showed up best for Maury, getting two hits out of three times at the bat. The Presidents were defeated 4-3 by the Crabbers. Both teams played poorly. However, the Crabbers seemed to have the edge on the Presidents. Harper showed up best for Wilson, getting three hits out of four times up, two of which were doubles. BASEBALL BOX SCORES Wile r te eee en ah ae dook namin.

Three years ago only class teams in basketball were started, improving each year until now there are class teams in basketball, baseball and track, which goes to prove that intramural ath- letics are essential. Enthusiasm is stirred up and a closer feeling of class loyalty is formed between the students. Who is not proud to be a member of a class whose team ranks high in the school? Rivalry is brought about between the classes of the school and each class team strives to excel the others. Intramural athletics is not only valuable to the school but also to the indi- vidual. The player gives up many outside pleasures to participate in these games. He is interested and therefore is willing to give time toward the teams. He under- stands that he must learn to play and know the fine points of the game before he can be a good athlete. When boys or girls are properly coached they are not allowed to play, keeping pace with their growth and are not all allowed to overestimate their ability. Not only is the body developed but the mind is trained to the utmost accuracy; the character of the individual is being moulded. Pee a ee er ae PRESIDENT =i rh OR the second time in the history of Woodrow Wilson High School _we have had intramural basketball. It has stirred up a great deal CE of interest and rivalry between and among the classes. The girls (SAs) have all shown their school and class spirit by coming out and backing their teams by cheering. The day came when the squads were picked to represent the classes. Each class had the best team that could be had from their number. Before we go on let us give credit to four ’varsity girls who coached these teams—Mildred Stewart, coach of the Seniors; Ruth Brown, coach of Juniors; Marion Holloway, Sophomore coach; and Doris Vick, the Freshman coach. Each one of these girls came out and coached the teams to the best of their ability and as all the tems showed it was the best. Now for the games, the first game was played between the Seniors and Juniors. As anticipated it was one of the most exciting games of the season. The Seniors overpowered the Juniors after a hard struggle for both teams and the game ended with the score 18-4. The next game was between the Sophomores and Freshmen. It was a very interesting game and kept the onlookers excited up until the very end, but the Sophomores overcame the Freshmen to the tune of 39-18. Showing their usual fighting spirit and determinaton to win, the Freshmen and Juniors met. It was a hard fought game and neither was willing to give in to the other. Finally the Freshmen triumphed over the Juniors and the score wend down as 23-18 favor of Freshmen. In a fast and interesting game the Sophomore girls tied the Senior girls. At the outstart of the game it looked as though the Sophomores were to be vic- torious, but after the first two field goals the Seniors came back with a rush that caused both teams to work harder. In the most exciting game of the season the Seniors beat the Freshmen with the score of 29-21. At the outstart of the game both teams were evenly matched. The Seniors, however, came back stronger after the second half. A hard fought battle was put up by the Juniors and Sopho- mores, the Juniors winning by the small margin of 22-21. It was not known to the witnesses just who would win, because first one team scored, then the other. The Seniors were made champions of the school by this loss. The Seniors had shown they could win a championship as well as maintain their dignity. Praise is due to everyone on the team for their good wortk thruout the season and their determination to do their best in all the games, The line-ups of the different teams are: Seniors WeeltonsGVior inset een eee VV itso eee a BArronesaces eee eee Gor bela ite ee ee Rotdarnis: eee eee Bullocka( Capita) @ ewer eine caer Beales’ 24.5. eee ee Berson. 2. 2 ee eee e e Mortell .2-34.3 ‘orbDing a Mihomasa Cant ie ee NY bes SVP NRE ioe gle Bly Oe PnUGhiel eanae ae oa aera eae Stewartea) See ee ee LeVine eee ee eee Vurtoneer aa een Funiors LF cunts te ee ee Lawrence SM etna: ee BRC oso AEs oe WN CSR OG we ar, Gt i A Ge ee eee unum ea pte ee eh Py eae NE d OR Po ls oe ty ea aa Cbd piece: Kala) Or Oe hah a EGR ees 2a. eee he eee all REGIS Os Re ce Aes nd a Ne ee Dillon Substitutes An SE dee on Lit PR ee ee en er Bed ELT LeL! seo: Veco hain SE Oi pre oa et ann Ee mY V OOK. te eee GE ee See ear ee eet ene HOTDEL ee EES | TG Nee ek Skee Are ee meee, ALTE Freshmen oe RRR ae Rope ase deers ee eee RO Der isn eae) tS thn LOE eee ee ee aL ULnere Vices ee Mie Ale Fi, Che aks aes oie ee ee NY Lal LS MANET ARE ¥ a Ge ee A ee ee eee Ure PE rr Re Gehc) Be ee ee ee ee em UTC Pet ee ee Lis Glee ee ne re men” VN ita ken Substitutes Sjet ae Se Le ee, SO ee. a ae oe ee reer ee Mosley sy eR A ae SO Oe Rae Oe ee Bloom EE eR a ve PRD eT ah reds Che ko mk Jarvis Ree AEG eM Oi, LUE Theres ot NAR So ely Bell ee he ron eS PRESIDENT _ a= =a SSS ne ‘ a Ss Summary of Jntramural Boys’ Games rN the first pair of intramural games the Seniors and Rats won from X47 | the Sophomores and Juniors respectively. Captain Bob Wright and Leslie Jeffreys showed up best for the Seniors, while Mathias was the shining light of the Sophomores. Buddie Owen, Captain of the Rat team showed remarkable ability in locating the basket. Hamilton vA Spence were in the limelight for the Juniors. At the close of the next intramural games we find the Juniors defeated by the Seniors and the Sophomores by the Rats. Jeffreys and Wright were the stars for the Seniors, scoring ten and five field goals respectively. Hamilton and Spence played the best game for the Juniors. Dunn and Morleno played a brilliant game for the Rats, while Mathias proved to be the best of the Sophomores. The Seniors and Rats, both undefeated, met in the W. W. H. S. gym deter- mined to beat each other. The battle was close and fierce, the final score being 24-17 in favor of the Seniors. Jeffreys and Dunn were the best men on the floor. The Sophomores won from the Juniors by the score of 34-15, Meacham’s work at center being responsible for the victory. The Seniors by defeating the Juniors won the title of W. W. H. S. Champs, Captain Wright and Jeffreys shining for the Seniors. The Sophomores defeated the Rats by the score of 26-22 in a fast and hard fought battle, Dunn and Meacham being in the limelight. These games brought toa close the first intramural basketball season at Wood- row Wilson High School. Much interest and enthusiasm has been displayed during the entire season, which has moved to a fitting close under the direction of Coach Cox.

My surroundings are gy esi in their oeene The peas eee the Grecian s “he acre a veil between the pete and Future is oppressive in its opaque gloom. The mystical darkness forms an apparently impregnable barrier which excludes from peering eyes a much desired vision of the Future. As I gaze on this veil of significant mystery, slowly and silently, to my aston- ishment, the curtain rolls back, revealing the World of Activity across which men and women eagerly pursue the ever eluding phantoms of happiness and SUCCESS. Within the focus of our mystified gaze, a procession moves forward, headed by Parson Joseph Hughes, resplendent in his frock-tail coat with abbreviated sleeves and trousers, the latter revealing very carefully rolled hose. His near- sighted attention to his hymnal proclaims that his mission is the saving of souls thru song, altho he knows that Marjorie Codd and Richard Beaton, the two babies, are now jointly publishing their famous book, “Canine Habits,” widely read and generally appreciated by the public. Bedecked in medals and badges and carrying loving cups and other awards which are tokens given only to those who occupay a place of supremacy in the athletic world, we see next two stalwart athletes, Mildred Stewart and Raymond Hutchins. As these two pass across the Stage of Life we recall their former triumphs in the athletic activities of our school. We watch curiously the two sedate nuns who next come into view. We see in amazement that these are none other than the charming misses Elizabeth Corbell and Mary Louise Dunn, belles of our high school days. The my stery deepens, for we are now gazing upon the interior of a fashionably modish woman’s apparel establishment. The distinguished modiste, Selma Weiner, tactfully displays the fine points of the creation that is being exhibited by the ‘charming mannequin, Pauline Dickerson. Miss Helen Davis, a wealthy patron of the shoppe, is again reminded by the impatient Leslie Jeffreys who awaits her at the door, that shopping holds no charms for him and he exits tem- pestuously to the car driven by none other than Junior Barron. ae eh hen USA . PRES SIDENT As this array recedes from view, another personage crosses the Stage of Life. A second glance is not needed to convince one that this is the internationally- famed authoress, Pearl Etheridge, whose latest attempt in blank verse, “The Indefatigability of Xanthocyanopsists,’ has been reproduced in twenty-seven languages, including the Scandinavian. The next glimpse into the Future reveals an excited court room which is in legal confusion. An irate judge (and lo and behold, it is His Honor, Eugene Hughes) sternly calls for order, while the renowned criminal lawyer, Annie Bulloch, presents denouncing evidence concerning the suit of George Carr, who charges that he has been painfully brow-beaten by the new inventor of the Boomerang Rolling-Pin. Further evidence discloses that this, the latest weapon of defense for newly-wed couples was invented by the scientifically inclined Arthur Henderson, Meanwhile Judge Benson Crockin of the Supreme Court, sentences many people to the guillotine for speaking against the City Mayor. The guillotine operator, Helen Johnson, and the Cemetery Inspector, Edwin McCain, are on the job as well as the grave-diggers, Mary Lee Duke and Albert Jacobson. As the scene fades from view we see the futile attempts of the husky Policeman, Otto Alberti, to restore order by forcibly ousting from the courtroom those who persist in interrupting the proceedings, by continually raving about the courageous nature of the hen- pecked husband. Prominent among these disturbers was the Right Honorable Albert McMillan. O! Time, what changes thou canst bring—for this orderly row of seats is surely a schoolroom. Peering over his spectacles, Professor of Latin Mahlon Harrell, is forcibly emphasizing the point that John F. Burton’s grammar—‘‘Simplified Latin for the Backwardly Inclined,” is a worthy authority. It is necessary that Principal Maurice Bennett come in and with a blow upon a certain whistle banish the con- fusion that the argument has created. The schoolroom is no longer seen, but here is a huge sign which relates this amazing fact: “I extract teeth painlessly. Come into my parlor—Dr. Johnny King.” A suffering patient is received by the office secretary, Miss Lois Cuthrell who leads him to the haven of relief, where he is put forever out of his misery!!!! Bent on an errand of mercy we next perceive Dr. Saxon White, hurrying forward to consult his efficient nurse, Catherine Vance, who anxiously hovers over the bedside of a suffering patient. Dr. White has, with the help of his scientific colleague, Thelma Mountcastle, discovered a sure method for the killing or curing of any patient who succumbs to any malady. Oh, Doctor! The next of the procession to meet my eager gaze is Mlle. M. Barrett, the well-known human advertisement for Palm Olive Soap. She, who had toured the world and had thereby been the means of the great popularity and sale of Palm Olive Soap, maintained that school-girl complexion and was famed for her beauty of face and figure. We peep into a small bake-shop next. There, covered with flour and stuck up with all sorts of doughs and pastries, we find Chief Baker Carlton Lewis and his assistant, Howard Horton. ‘These prove to be philanthropists, who, realizing that man’s most pleasant diversion is “Eating” by sweat of brow and brawn of muscle furnish goodies to the students of Woodrow Wilson High School. The neatly attired clerk who comes into the baker’s kitchen to inquire if more cream puffs may be had for Mr. James Green, Jr., a frequent customer of the shop and well-known as an athletic director in the aforementioned school, proves to be Mary Landsburg. This scene, too, fades from view and we watch eagerly a group of well dressed men stroll leisurely across the stage. As they laugh and chat we wonder who they can be. We imagine them to be diplomats and statesmen and we find these ideas are not far-fetched, when we are told that Leonard H. Davis, Jr., Ambassador to England, Frank Hunter, Secretary of State, and Pete Seaborn, Minister to Belgian Congo are among this group. ‘They are discussing the latest scandal. What is this strange colorful scene that now confronts us? Surely not the Flo Ziegfeld in all his pomp and glory? Stranger yet, that tall, massive man is none other than Braxton Rountree and prospective candidates for his “Harem of Beautiful Shebas,” a few of whom, amid the throng, we chance to recognize as Virginia Naw, Virginia Womble, Elizabeth Ailstock, Dorothy Watkins, Mary V. Carlisle, Margaret Powell and Virginia Sessoms, and such a beautiful harem as was never before disclosed by History’s pages, for even King Solomon’s would fade into obscurity. At the entrance of a store, bearing the sign of three balls, we find Louise Everett and Thelma Sanford, proprietors, engaged in a heated discussion with William Winslow, concerning the value of the latter’s overcoat. The broker’s experience in tactful bargaining has taught them that long discussions are advan- tageous to them, and such is th eir policy as the disconcerted “Buddy” stands shivering in the doorway. Melodious strains now fill the air for the great composer and executor of music, Martha Lewis, holds spell-bound her audience. As the successor of Paderewski, she has won undying fame. What mean these sounds of cheering and hilarity? General excitement reigns as the enthusaistic fans witness the opening of a greaty anticipated game between the “Pink Socks” and the Presidents. Manager “Pinky” Tonkin of the “Pink Socks” again encourages her men to beware of the crack pitcher for the ‘Presidents,’ Ralph Woodard. Calling to her heavy hitter, Walter Tyler, she tells him that she is depending on him for a number of circuit-riders. Among the crowd of rooters on the front row of the bleachers, we find Kathleen Smith and Beatrice Brangan, the mainstay supporters of the baseball teams. Amidst Oriental vases, Egyptian draperies, Italian masterpieces, Persian rugs, Turkish tapestries, artificial sunflowers and marigold appear the features of Catherine Beayle Smith and Pattie Pearson. From this cavalcade of interior decoration paraphernalia trails brilliantly-hued samples of American wall paper. It is self-evident that interior decorating occupies the genius of these master artists. Ewell’s “Passing Show of 1945’ now illuminates the dim recesses of the depths of the Future. A chorus of beautiful maidens glides upon the Stage and Sey es pee performs intricate dance steps. We recognize such familiar faces as Dorothy Bord, Mary Dempsey, Belle Goldmann, Elizabeth Flynn, Helen Carter, Genevia Burkett, Lillie Mae Allison, Gitlee Berson, Dorothy Hunt, Nella Baart, Irene Halpin, Mary Hodges and Sarah Abraham, who plays the star role. Like elusive phantom nymphs of delight they disappear as mysteriously as they appeared. Why, now, this cold atmosphere, surely foretelling the presence of snow and ice. Yes? In the distance snowy capped peaks and icy glaciers confront our view. Attired in the native Swiss costume, Cecil Fletcher, the Alpine climber, marshalls a party of tourists (shall we say from America? ) who are to view the wonders and grandeur of the glorious Alps. Joined by sturdy ropes so that some adventurous one might not, without the consent of the rest of the party, try an avalanche stunt, the group merrily starts off for the great adventure. We see among these travelers, laughing and talking as usual Katharine Curling, Marjorie Westbrook, and Dorothy Joyner, who have become renowned globe-trotters. The Future delights in queer tricks, for now we find the warm atmosphere of old England. On the rose-covered porch of a little cottage, situated on the beautiful Stratford-on-Avon we find Miss Anna S. Johnston, and gathered about her are her group of disciples who listen eagerly to every word she utters. Her prediction that the Senior Class of ’25 should come and visit her when she should acquire fame and fortune, has materialized. Representing the Senior Class are Mary Malbon, Eugenia Calbreath, Arthur Newcomb, Jack Parker, Victoria Goodman, John P. Roane and Thelma Shackleford. There they are gathered to share the wisdom of this wise counsellor. A farewell scene now takes place. Wearing saintly expressions, a party of missionaries is on the verge of embarking for the jungles of Dismal Swamp, to devote their time to civilizing and christianizing the ale savages of that territory. Dr. Russell Parker, eminent physician, goes as medical advisor to the party. The “Angel of High Street,” Ragnhild Rordam, accompanies for the purpose of Christianizing, while the object of Miss Daisy West, the other member of the party, is to carry instructions as to most modern methods of civilization. They are making the journey by aeroplane service, recently perfected by the great aviatrix, Elsie Vaughan. The national secretary of aviation, Harry Shelton, is there to wish them godspeed on this new project of science and humanity. fe heyearesom amid the wave of handkerchiefs and cheering voices as the winged bird flies off upon adventures unknown. Along with them in a private plane go Edna Morrel and Iris Mount, who are now preaching “Millions now dead will never live. Upon the Stage of Life an appropriate drama unfolds itself. James Creecy, the supreme spe oat of wonder characters carries off to perfection the role of the immortal Juliet and the handsome, tragic Romeo is also a former classmate— Glenn Spence. These two have acquired a world-wide reputation as Shakespearean actors. A large part of their success is due to the efficient business management of Beulah Irving. We now gaze upon a palatial medieval castle of Old England. This is the home of Lady Wickhamby, formerly Martha Maupin, of America. A grand ball is being held and sounds of a great celebration convey the impression that this is a gala occasion. It is indeed, for Lady Wickhamby is entertaining several of her distinguished American friends. Numbered among the eae are Catherine Haller, formost essayist, novelist and humanist of the day, Barbette Thompson, Dean of a leading woman’s college, and Katherine Barham, famed for her charming impersonation of delightful bits of Southern prose and poetry. Feted and feasted they are, by an admiring throng of English gentlemen. We next perceive a vision of glaring, brilliant lights and flapping tents. A circus, for sure! As the different attractions are shown we find most interesting the human wonder, Doris Smith, eight feet, eleven inches in height and next the quietest woman in the world, Madame Naomi Williams. It is said that for the last ten years she has spoken only ten words. We gasp and doubt the veracity of such a statement, but circuses will be circuses. There is also the snake charmer, Hazel Murray, who holds enthralled the deadly serpents. The band strikes up and the ‘“‘Rue and Res Circus” moves merrily on. The Future is still an open book, for now Miss Virginia Welton, our intellectual classmate, is none other than guest of honor at the elaborate banquet sponsored by the American Order of the Royal Society of Chemists and Physicists, having recently received one of the Haber memorial prizes for the excellent essay on the most probable peace plan. For this distinction she is highly lauded by the principal speaker of the evening, Prof. Watts Wagner, in a most noble address. In a cozy, well-appointed living room in the home o f Virginia Stublen a bevy of artists who have made a name for themselves in the world of arts are gathered to enjoy the fellowship of a small club. The members of the club include Carrie Sheren, Marion Ballard, Ernestine Renn, Queenie Gardner and Maurice Gompf. Mid’st sounds of confusion and abrupt shouts, a handsome moton-picture sheik rushes upon the Stage resplendent in theatrical make-up. This is Robert Wright, the John Barrymore of the day. He darts in and out among scenery in search of his leading lady, Thelma Hughes. Director Fulmer Stark now calls for a set and gives his final instructions to Cameraman Lucie Myers. Amid the click of the camera and the frantic shouts of the director, the movie miracle of the time, ““The Evolution of a Kiss,” is filmed. In the course of which “Liz” Jones, the vamp, spirits away the hero, Vance White. The villain harasses the heroine and Clifton Parker, the comedian, furnished a side-splitting amusement to the audience. This typical movie pandemonium fades away and quietitude reigns once more. Ah! What may be these queer looking creatures that come toward us now? They seem to be furry, somewhat like animals, but as they come nearer we discern by their features that they are human beings. What revelations! As they discard the furs and skins which have so burdensomely encumbered them we see that they are hunters and explorers and are really familiar as they, too, are members of the Class of 25. This party proves to be an expedition headed by Prof. Aili Nissinen, of Harvard University. Other members of this party of adventurous ik en rae s he sore a ' PRESIDENT _ — he ace == and daring intellectuals who have come to the “dark continent” in search of excitement as well as antiquitaries, are Miss Ruth Brown, still a “‘sunbeam in the cloud,” Virginia Tucker, Reginald Jones, Mary Mahan aad Virginia Hanrahan. We are startled by the mad rushing and. racing of a luxurious car, followed closely by the demon speed cop, Louise Bunting, who, as the car is brought suddenly to a stop, hands the ever-reckless Charles F. Harper a “‘ticket.”” ““Where’d you get that stuff? You high- headed bank presidents forget that I’m a member of the ‘Velocipede Corps.’ It’s good-morning, judge, tomorrow at ten!” We next get a view of an orderly and solemn meeting of the City Council of Portsmouth. These dictators of the city affairs are called together in order to settle a most vital issue. As the meeting goes on we find a most ardent supporter for the proposed school boat, which will carry children to school by way of Scott’s Creek, in Virginia Whitson, who cites and recites the advantages thereof. She is both opposed and upheld by other members of the Council, among whom are Catherine Burroughs, Mildred Martin and Albert MacMillan. Again the scene changes. We hear that Lillian Glazier has opened a new ladies ready-to-wear store in opposition to Victoria Goodman. Among her oily tongued clerks are Mary W. Chandler and Sadie Barney. Now we see a large room filled with furniture of all types. This cannot be a home which is so stocked with furniture. No! for we now hear Mrs. Doris Vick Rich-enough, a popular matron in Portsmouth society, talking with Fannie Jacobson, manager of the famous Kaplan Furniture Co. She, as chairman of the property committee for the presentation of the well-known drama, ““Why Cats Leave Home,” is choosing the furniture deemed necessary by the director and playwright, Annie Saunders. The scene shifts and another phase of life is portrayed. America’s legislative bodies are in session and we have a view of the Senate’s activities. The usual confusion reigns as Senators E. Toone and Alex Smith furiously argue upon the time-honored question, “Resolved, that the turtle is game rather than fish.” Senatoress Ruth Barron of Virginia, rises and demands that the gentlemen use less offensive language toward one another. Rhew Prince, wide-awake reporter from the Washington Herald, works his pencil and pad overtime as the debate waxes eloquent. The Herald’s editor, James Harlowe, will be delighted, he thinks, with this show of spirit from the legislative body. Scandal, for sure! As inkwells begin to be raised threateningly the kind gods of the Future switch us to varying paths of life in safer quarters. The chatter and hum of gossipy voices 1s heard. There unfolds before us a group of maidens rather advanced in age. This, we find to be a bachelor club, comprised of wise maidens who have decided to mal the path of single blessedness, leaving in their wake a string of broken hearts. Nothing can persuade them from their courses. “Oh! have you heard the latest scandal?” cries Marion Rountree. “What?” eagerly asks the rest of the assembly as they lean forward with wonder. “Well, Mary McDowell eloped last night with a stranger from the Bermuda Islands.” Then Marion subsides with a satisfied air. The President, Gay McKenney, calls for order and requests the Secretary to call the roll. The Secre- Th ee Citas panes = ___ PRESIDENT = ee = Pe eon tary, Agnes Edge, proceeds thus: Lois Claud, Mary Hesketh, Edna Harris, Nancy Hodges, Martha Markman, Margaret Richardson, Julia Moore and Jeanette Zentz. They then hilariously make plans for a proposed trip to Australia. Quite different from the scene of bachelor maidens we find the well furnished suites of Baine and Waters, famous manufacturers of ““Odorless Hydrogen Sul- phide,” with the ever-efficient Secretary, Miss Lillian Walston, and the stenog- rapher, a speed-magna te in typery, Frank Putnam. This scene, too, fades from view and the click-click of the typewriter grows fainter. As it is drowned out by loud and unusual sounds, the noise grows louder and we wonder if it is produced by the fashionably-dressed woman who next comes on the Stage. The noise is disturbing and a nearby policeman, Wm. Saunders, thinks it is necessary to put a stop to it, as 1t becomes a source of alarm to the passerby. When he inquires of the lady, who proves to be Hilda Hooten, concern- ing the noise, he is answered by the pulling out of her watch and is told that the latter is full of ticks. Evidently this young lady is a jeweler. One last vision of our Alma Mater brings to a close the presentation of the Future. There is the old familiar library, now well-filled by books donated by the millionaire architect, Helen Schneider. The faculty of old Woodrow Wilson High School is assembled to discuss the Uselessness of Senior Baby Day and Memory Books. We find Baby Day upheld by Professors H. A. V. Parker and J. L. Pollard, of the Math. and French Departments, respectively, and vehemently opposed by teachers Gretchen Mayo and Charlotte Hackel, of the English Depart- ment. While the discussion ensues Principal William Pace excitedly looking over his lists of teachers, demands to be informed of the whereabouts of his assistant, Marion Halloway. Miss Nina Frey, head of the English Department and faculty advisor of the school publication, “The Student,” primly advances the news that Miss Halloway is attending a baseball game with the Manual Training Instructor, Jake Miller. The cause of the argument is most rudely interrupted by the flurried announcement of Secretary Mabel Laughon, as she vigorously powders her nose, that she must rush in order to keep her golf engagement with Christopher Parker, the recently-elected City Manager. Oh, Mabel! Amid the resigned sighs of the faculty and principal the meeting adjourns. Slowly and silently the curtains are drawn together. We catch a glimpse of someone making a mad dash across the Stage of Life, but they are too late, for now the Veil between the Present and the Future is drawn together and we cannot discern who they are, but we may guess that they are the ever-late members of the class— Mattie Query Grace George with Margaret Johnston and Mary Malbon. ag Ose ==, PRESIDENT _ Activities SCIENCE CLUB HE SCIENCE CLUB this year has succeeded in surpassing the membership of all former ee The two departments—the Royal Society of Chemists and Physicists, and the Nature Club, have given two very interesting and beneficial programs. The first brought out the importance of the conservation of natural resources; the second was a clever little play emphasizing the value of health. The advisors advance their opinion that this has been an unusual year climaxed by the making of the large Virginia map. SPANISHECLUB A SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA, feeling that it is their duty to ais to the school some little knowl- Ly edge of Spanish, under the direction of Miss K. B. Woodard has put on several uncommonly interesting programs in the auditorium this year. Early in the term, by special request, Miss Woodward gave a vivid description of the Bull Fight as she saw it during her recent trip to Spain. Following her talk, Etta Marshall, beautifully dressed in a Spanish costume, sang ‘Yo Soy De Ayi,” accompanied by Pattie Pearson on the piano. The most interesting program of the season was presented April the third as the celebration of Cervantes’ Day. The main event of the program was a talk, “Some Things We Owe Spain,” by Ed- ward Buxton. Miss Mildred Haas played ‘““Granadias” on the mandolin, following which Etta Marshall, gowned in the costume of the period, gave a reading from “Don Quixote,” which was greatly enjoyed by all. is Te W LESONSAN DS TELE IN TET: torium this season. The first was to celebrate the birthday of Sidney Lanier. Papers were read by Catherine Haller and Ida Morgan, and music was furnished by Kathleen Smith and Mary Malbon, after which Etta Marshall read the ““Marshes of Glynn.” The second part of the program was a dramatization of “Beowulf,” the old English lyric, beautifully costumed and splendidly acted. The credit for this was largely due to the Chairmen, Edward Buxton, Etta Marshall, John Burton and Marjorie Codd. The second program was a commemoration of Washington’s Birthday. Those participating were Thelma Sanford, Etta Marshall, Leonard Davis, Katherine Barham and Annie Bulloch. After the program, a play depicting a reception in Washington’s home was presented. ‘The lines for the play were written by Catherine Haller, who with Jimmie Green, furnished most of the comedy. 4] Pa WILSON and Lanier together have presented two very enjoyable programs in the audi- EL Eet REN CISCLUB HIS year the French Club presented a very creditable performance in the shape of a short comedy ap and a selection from “Faust.” The cast consisted of Mary Tyler Heiner, Virginia Carlisle, Mary Carter, Mae Hall, Mae Coleman and Mildred Barrett, Catherine Haller (who makes an adorable little devil), Catherine B. Smith and Louise Bunting. Everyone enjoyed the interesting and amusing program. BOOSTERS HE BOOSTERS in their first year have put on one of the most original programs of this season, a burlesque on a faculty, showing our teachers in all their glory. The play, the product of Catherine Haller, was under the direction of Miss Mildred James, and showed a splendid bit of acting. The cast was composed of Margaret Johnston, Mary Mathew, Etta Marshall, Helen Williams, Jean Lowe, Mary Lou Flournoy, Marjorie Codd, Barbette Thompson, Beulah Irving, Robert Richards and Minnie Uthers. PA LING CLUB (ie Miss Brittingham’s able leadership the Latin Club has been particularly active and has presented several educational programs. The Christmas meeting was held in the auditorium with the following programs: History of Latin Club, by George Carr; Value of Taking Latin, by Edward Buxton; recitations by Barbette Thompson and Elsie Clements; solo by Virginia Rice; and Christmas carols by girls in vesper robes, carrying lighted candles, which presented a beautiful picture. In addition to this, later in the year, the club presented “Spartacus,” a very creditable motion picture, which was largely attended by the students. DRAMATIC CLUB HE play, “Seventeen,” presented by the Dramatic Club early in the term was an unqualified AR success, both in a histrionic and financial way. ‘The directors, players and stage hands all had a great dea! of work to do, but the result was well worth the sacrifice. The large audience attested their approval all through the performance by continuous applause and unaffected laughter.

It would be a ‘difficult task to find so perfect a cast, so perfect a leader or so perfect a performance. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET HE Junior-Senior banquet this year was an affair that will linger long in the Seniors’ memories. The gym was a veritable bower of beauty. The decorations, which were in green and gold, were carried out in flowers and ferns. The whole affair was redolent of spring, from the food which was a la springtime to the toast scheme with its Jonquil’s greeting, its Pansy thoughts for the Seniors, its Snapdragon faculty, our Jack-in-the-Pulpit principal and the Dandelion School Board.

The girls have departed, The wagons gone in, The Cichwasher: s truck is now done; And now for next breakfast the dishes are placed. And the tables are left, one by one. Then all becomes silent, For no one is there But the knives and the plates and the forks, And the tables and chairs and so forth and so on; Yet listen! The glass pitcher talks! In crystal clear voice, yet with watery eyes, Says he, “Let us all have some fun. We have labored and served with never a word, Since this Teachers’ College began.” Then out spoke the butter knife, Blunt little man— “T think, Mr. Pitcher, you’re right. Let’s dance and let’s have as much fun as we can, And I say let’s do it tonight.” “Mr. Butter Knife,” calmly began Mrs. Fork, “T must say I can’t see your point, For most of us people can’t ever even walk, And who of us has a knee joint?” “Just a minute, my dear,” cut in Mr. Knife; “ ye C. You are not half so sharp as am I. That man has no point, can’t you see that, my wife? And his talk is outrageously dry.” Then up and spoke a blue little plate, A very all-round young girl, “The saucers,” said she, ‘‘are most pitifully flat, And the glasses too deep for this world!” The cups are so hollow, such empty young men (Except when they’re full; then they’re drunk), . And the spoons are so mushy, so full of ‘soft stuff’! They’re terribly lacking in spunk.” “So I think ’twould be best if we’d put off the rest, That we'd put off this party forever, For our wit is so poor that it must be a bore, And we promise to speak again never.” The n i _—PRESIDENT =; MOON LOVE “Corks and Curls,’ University of Virginia.
