We know that many of you have been drawn into a way of life which you not only could not have foreseen, but for which our peace-loving program had in- adequately prepared you. Vvq deeply deplore the conditions and are grieved to realize the hardships and suffering which many of you are enduring, yet we glory in the fact that you are serving your country in a way and at a time when the need for your services could not be conceivably greater. We glory too in the reali- zation that you are in actual fact, our representatives. This struggle to preserve our way of' living, very dehnitely in- cludes our far-reaching system of free public education, and you who have sat in the classes of VVoodrow Wilson High School and have felt the pride of recognition as members of this student body, are in effect members of a vast and glorified Wilson team, engaged in an international contest on fields all over the world. May the Father of us all keep you safe from the hands of the enemy and speed the day when you will return to us, sound in mind, body, and spirit. Faithfully and affectionately, Roneirr I..

Goodbye to you, dear one You brought us friends and fun And taught us how life's run When it We try. VVe'll miss the Work, we'll miss the friends We knew The teachers, and the colors orange and blue So as we leave your door returning nevermore WVe sigh, farewell to you! By: FRANCES SAUNDERS CAROLYN GRIMES. CLASS HISTORY By JUNE LOCHENOUR Dear Girls and Boys: It's been mighty nice getting those V-mail letters from you lately. Let me see now-it's been some years since you left Wilson. Most of you asked in your letters how the Alma Mater was getting along since you left. Guess I'd better begin at the beginning. Remember 1940? Terrible things were going on in Europe and Asia. Terrible things were happening in the United States, too! As a matter of fact, terrible things were happening in the state of Virginia, in the city of Portsmouth, in a high school called Wilson. You guessed it! Another class of Freshmen timidly pushed open the big front doors of Wilson High. Our class! Some of us gazed around in a kind of petrified awe, others of us giggled nervously when ever an upper-classman came in sight and some few of us, who felt brave, gave everyone belligerent looks that defied them to call us Rats. That first day was a busy one! We spent hours searching for the elevator that some Seniors had told us about. You know-the same seniors that so generously sold us their seats in the auditorium. In the course of the year we elected Winifred McAlpine as our class president and soon most of us were wholeheartedly engaged in the business of passing our subjects. Outstanding examples of our freshman fervor, were Betty Jane Hathaway, Mary Claire Jones, June Lassiter and Hart Slater who had the top report cards in their registration rooms. Even at that time we knew we had an artist in our midst, for Lee Lively was named as one of the most outstanding members of the Art Department. Of course, there were a few problem children in the class. I have it on good authority that one member of the group received nine demerits before he knew what demerit meant. Well, by September, 1941, we felt like veterans, and as Sophomores we de- cided to settle down to business- monkey business. It was in that year that our most prominent class comedians reared their heads. And so, with tradi- tional Sophomore sense of humor, many of us frittered our time away, for there wasn't anything that we didnlt know about! Luckily, however, some real mem- bers of the intelligentsia were still with us, for it was that year that Evelyn Arm- strong and Russell Cherry joined the report card toppers. It was in that year also that Jackie Skeppstrom had the distinguished honor of being openly recog- nized as one of Wilson's thirty-nine red-heads. Then, too, Soph. June Lochenour won the Tidewater public speaking contest and once again winsome Winnie Mc- Alpine was elected class president. Yes, 1941 was a colorful year-and a tragic year, for on December 7th, Pearl Harbor was attacked and we saw our schoolmates answering their country's call to arms, in ever increasing numbers. Then came 1942! Girls began wearing macaroni necklaces and Glen Miller was riding to new fame on The Chattanooga Choo Choo. It was in 1942 that Altavista's gift to Portsmouthf' Jean Hawley, enrolled in VVilson High. Yep! That was really a hot year! It was made ever hotter when the school auditorium caught on fire and was saved, much to the credit of fast thinking fire- men and much to the disappointment of some students who desired a holiday! By the following September most of us werejuniors and we elected June Lassiter as our class president. How did we know she was capable? Well, she was the only student in VVilson who understood the rationing system and that was enough proof for us of her capability! Almost before we knew it, 1943 was upon us and what a year for our class that was! Isabelle Minchew was made editor-in-chief of The Sfuden! and that was only one of the feathers which was to adorn our class cap, for some weeks later our basketball star, Aubrey Sweet, was elected president of the Student Council and campaign manager Butch Leary shared in the triumph as well as the entire junior class. Meanwhile, committees were being chosen and plans were being made for the annual Junior-Senior prom. Despite the tack shortage, crepe paper shortage, balloon shortage, shoe rationing, the ban on pleasure driving, the manpower short- age, the rationing of certain punch ingredients Cand I here refer to canned fruitj, and the terrific downpour of rain on the night of May 28th, the dance was a huge success, chairman of the decoration committee, Helen Lawrence, had worked miracles. Then came exams, and we all prayed for passing grades cause of course we wanted to pass. I think I speak for most of us when I say, We dood it! Well, the next September found most of us Seniors. Cy Plunkett was made Co-Captain ofthe football team and Carolyn Grimes began to wear lipstick! It was in 1943 that we elected Garland Drake as our class president and Deep In the Heart of Texas held the place of honor in the juke box at Murden's. September, 1943, also brought tragedy to VVilson, for on the 25th of that month, while playing in a football game, our classmate and half-back, Buck Childs received injuries which proved to be fatal. And so 1943 was swept out to the sweet strains of Pistol Packin' Mama, and 1944 stepped into the limelight bringing with it Mary Claire jones's up-hair-do and class rings and Beth Johnson, and Annual pictures and Evelyn Armstrong's sprained knee, and Baby Day and more 1-A Classifications, and calling cards and Mairzy Doats sermons, and war stamps, and finally graduation day and -oh I don't know! Just everything that could make a person's last year of high school complete! Well, Boys and Girls, guess I'd better close now as it's getting pretty late. VVrite soon. -ALL Us SENIORS.

Within a few weeks though, new friends be- came close friends and we felt ourselves a real part of the school. Bob Parker was our first president and Miss Mildred James our adviser. One of the most important activities we carried on was help- ing with the salvage drives. As Sophomores we were mighty confident of ourselves. Pat Bar- ham became our president and other capable leaders became oflicers. This year, as Juniors, we have come to feel a kinship with the graduating classes. Through our association with them at Com- mencement and through the Junior-Senior, we feel ourselves closer to them. This year we again elected Pat Barham president, while Jean Sipfle, Audrey Bradford, Bob Parker, and Billy Niemeyer held the other offices. A number of our class hold important positions on the Student Council and in various clubs. At last we are beginning to know some of the happiness that comes in school service.

At this time the council was under the supervision of Miss Phillips. Yes, lwelieve it or not, a woman. Aided hy a few hoys and girls enrolled in the school, Miss Phillips produeeel very successful entertainment. The present organization was liegun in 15326 under the champion in advisers, Mr. l.. C. Padden. By this time the council had hecome very small, presenting an opportunity for an entirely new organiza- tion. Asking the voluntary assistance of various students to form a council, Mr. Patlden continued for the first year taking an active part in the presenting of the moving pictures. At the beginning of' the second year there were enough students with experience to take over the active duties. The Motion Picture Council has continually advanced in its equipment and methods. VVilson took the lead in the changes of motion picture production. We were the hrst school in the state to use hoth thirty-hve and sixteen milimeter sound projections. We were also the hrst school to pur- chase a large, auditorium, sixteen nnhmeter projector. The Motion Picture Council takes pride in its achievements and progress and plans to continue to he as progressive in the future as it has heen in the past. lhis year we have presented twelve feature pictures plus other auditorium programs and short suhjects. -W 1-W-Q any Dom Lmks' Lou Ac'roN BU1'cn LEARY KITTY NxcH.n,s B1OlOgY Club l l OPFICYHRS Dorm LEARY . ...,,. . .

Adviser The Math Club, Senior, furnishes both recreation and instruction to Junior and Senior students of mathematics. Research into the fun-making and puzzle side of the subject is enjoyed at the meetings, and yet every program also presents something of an informative nature. For instance, at some meeting during the year, instruction is given on the use of the slide rule, and club members are pro- vided With slide rules for practice in using them. Typical programs feature discussion of the fourth dimension, consideration of the mathematics used in and required for nursing, investigation into the mathe- matics of aviation, and presentations of other topics. Included in the programs are trick problems, mathematical spelling matches, mathematical games, poems, and songs. The slogan Fun and Factsy' could be used appropriately in designating the aim for each program of the Mathematics Club.

During the past year the Girls' Hi-Y, with the other Hi-Y Clubs of Wilson, have attended different churches in a body. The club has given several dances, and had charge of the Raster sunrise service. The girls organized a Sit-In Service, the purpose being that young married people, with children, might go out, and leave their children with the girls. The club, as a whole, knitted for the Red Cross. 5 Dom l4l i.KRY CARULYN fikIMES JEANNE SIPFLE J.-XYNE VVORLEY ' x N. XXJX I QAQ, The Presidents HifY Club l i OFFICERS MR DAvE STUART, MR. A. J.

The Presidents have sponsored a number of social events throughout the year, including dances, sports, formals, masquerades, hay rides, swimming, bowling, and beach parties. The field of athletics was limited to a basketball team which did not prove successful against the Wilson Junior Varsity but managed to down other Hi-Y teams. A Our attempt at journalism consists of a bi-weekly newspaper, which proved popular with the members. ' Other activities of the club included sponsorship ofthe weekly chapel services and a scholarship contest, which showed the scholastic averages of the members.

On the whole our football season was quite suc- cessful. ln the beginning of the season several unfortunate injuries sort of took the wind from our sails, mainly the fatal injury of Buck Childs. However, the boys came back to battle the best teams in the state to a standstill. The Presidents opened the season by taking South Norfolk into camp to the tune of 6-0. After being fought to a standstill in the first half, we turned on the 'liigers and clawed our way sixty-two yards to score. This drive we put on started in the third quarter when Buck Childs returned an enemy punt to our own thirty-eight yard line. Good looking Red Fleming then took personal command of the situation. He made a first down on a line play and then passed to Red Smith Cthe red-headed leaguej who carried it to the thirty-six. Another pass connected between these red-headed Aces which made it a First down on the twenty. W'ith the aid of a tive yard penalty and a Five yard advance by Smith, we moved ever closer and then in two plays Red lfleming took it over. The first halt' saw the Tigers threaten several times, but the boys up front fvou know, the ones who never get the ereditl led by such stalwarts as Co-Captain liarl Ratlilf and Randy Smithwiek broke through and discouraged their further advances. Our second game was the ki'id that causes the mortality rate, diie to cardiac troubles, to increase. With less than a minute, mind you, a minute, the Presidents struck pay dirt to sting the Yellowjaekets from Elizabeth City, into defeat, ln this game Nubby .Iereme Cyou remember him, that little smoothy who slicks Smmliny- Coitity IIARVEY, Miss lVl.KRY Rice, Coach. Ifrzrrliriy-.'XUnitEY Baixnroim, MARGARET ELSASSER, JOYCE HAYES, JOSEPHINE Cooke, jfwlce .-Xnams. his hair down like a movie idolj dashed around like a cook juggling a hot potato, but he never let go of the ball. With three minutes to play, Co-captain Flemming led his mosquito bombers on a spectacular aerial blitz. Two of these passes Jereme snared, which took us down to their twenty-eight. The second onewas of the one-handed variety, and I can assure you it was big league stuff. Of course, our team likes to divide the glory, so Big jim Puryear steps in and grabs the spotlight. He caught a lightning pass and was downed on the five. Then Flight Lieutenant Jereme caught the paralyzer in the end zone, which sunk the enemy ship. Tough luck started to dog us in our third game. We took on Hopewell with high hopes, only to have our feathers plucked in a whale of a fight. They finally scored in the third period after a determined march practically the entire length of the field. Their tank corp skillfully evaded our defenses and without such land mines as Brother Ratliff and Big Jim Puryear the score might have been larger. These two boys made themselves a general nuisance to the Blue Devils. After the game the Hopewell fans were glad that they had seen the last of these two tank destroyers. Even though our boys threw plenty of Molotov Cocktails it was not enough, so the least said the better. In our fourth game-a close, rugged one-we evened our wins and losses by losing 6-0. Although we carried through our assignments perfectly, we were overcome by numerically superior forces. It was a game in which we gave our best and at one stage of the battle we hit deep into the enemy's territory, but re-inforcements were lacking and we had to retreat without hoisting the flag. Cy Plunkett and Vernon Brammer fought heroically, often times routing a whole detachment, but there is a limit to all deeds of valor. May- ' be this defeat will help us learn a lot more lessons than by winning. After all life's lessons are learned by absorbing adverse decisions and then applying these to our daily work. That is 'something Coach Wild has always stressed and we wish to commend him for this attitude. We sent our Commandos to Newport News expecting that land- ing operations would be tough, and they Were. One thing we for- got was the hat, from which we pull the rabbits. Curly headed Ed Yarbrough kept our boys in the battle, with some really fine booting, but Buddy Lex Cthat All- Stater from N. NJ booted 'em right back. The score, 18-7, does not really indicate the difference in the two teams. Three of those split second passes caught us nap- ping and put them in the van. During the rest of the game we gave them an eye for an eye. Of course the Typhoon really had the stuff, and as usual the team in tough luck usually gets the bad breaks-that was us. One bright spot in our offense was this little scooter Jereme. With some fancy ballet dancing, he lugged the am- 6oAc.H ' EARL' munition to our city. From there, ever dependable lflemming plus a new face in the person of Butch l,eary fa swell fellowj threw hand grenades until the vaccination took. The immunizer was taken for the score by Buck Clayton. This fellow Clayton really found himself in this game and for this he was given the Distinguished Service Medal. VVe will tell you more about him a little later on. VVell, we kept our streak intact and dropped a close one to the Newport News Apprentice School. The score was 33-7. Heh! did you say close? Wiell, anyway, pretty close. l,aying all kidding aside, we were not as bad as the score indicates. Our boys showed a lack of experience in actual combat and had brief lapses of memory and during these periods the Builders struck through the air for four touchdowns. In this game we uncovered a few more potential stars. ln a concerted attack we marched fifty-three yards to score our lone tally. In this drive .lack Mounie Ca great team playerj relegated to the blocking spot, picked up a first. Then Rhae Adams, a cute blonde headed Adonis, started to pass the ammunition a la Sammy Baugh. These passes fell into the waiting arms of Vern Brammer, johnny Red Smith and Cuckoo,' Mounie. These plays made us look like the team we potentially were. A few plays later we scored from one yard out. This part of the operations were carried out by a roly-poly converted lineman by the name of Reggie Byrd. Probably the highlight of the game, came on the kick-off after our score. The Builders' back, Carlisle, took this boot and raced down the sidelines ninety-two yards. This kinda run always gives you a thrill even though it does make your stomach feel as though it just had a ride on an elevator. We played our annual whipper-doo with Maury and went down under a 13-0 barrage. ln this game we really MY' I Bunn came along and played our best game ofthe season. During the first half we had the ball three- fourths of the time, and pushed 'em all over the field but we couldn't put over the clincher. ln the third quarter our boys took the attitude that nothing ventured, nothing gained and unleashed a pass Cwith the score 0-OD deep in our own territory. Somehow the gun Wasn't aimed right and it exploded in our faces. Maury took the ball by an interception and from that point on the rest was easy. 'l'he final touchdown certainly can't be counted, because the boys threw all caution to the winds in trying to get back in the game and another interception resulted. Re- gardless ofthe score, this day we had the best team. Randy Smithwick, a husky bruiser, who reminds you of a Mack truck, made some beautiful tackles while Cap- tain Ratliff and Tony Galenton Byrd took tickets in the line and believe me, no one crashed the gate. By this time it is getting awfully hard to think of an excuse for another defeat. We won't even try-we just lost, 26-13. VVe began to awaken after the score was 26-Og of course this was too late, for the Hampton boys had piled up too big a lead. The whole line played a beautiful game led by Plunkett, who is a swell fellow, handsome, good-natured and easy to like. VVe sure are going to miss him next year, but you fellows in the service are going to gain. He'll make a great sailor or soldier. Able support was given by ever dependable PI. Ratliff, lanky Vern Brammer, Truck Smithwick and Galento Byrd. ln the backheld Red Flem- . st x REGFIE .gl I' H0887 ming did his usual good deedg jack Mounie played his ever steady game and Rhae Adams showed to beautiful advantage. VVell, this is the game as it was played. VVe left some parts outxthe parts the Crab- bers dominated. In the final analysis it was a case of too late with too little. The next week our boys decided the home town fans were getting tired of reading the same ole thing and got in the groove. As usual, our boys didn't get the breaks but dogged de- termination p u l l e d us through to a hard earned 6-0 victory over the Granby Comets. In the second quarter we paraded seventy- two yards for a score, and b r 0 t h e r, we earned it. Several penalties, one after scoring, set us back, but aunt sumo the boys would not be denied. VVe Were so happy, we acted like a kid gettin' his first long pants. VVe started this sports account with Red Flemming and he just about got in the last word. On a quick opening play he darted thirty-seven yards and then our boys smelled the apple pie coo k i n'. Cuckoo Nlounie, just about the most dependable back all season, unveiled his pitch- ing arm, and boy, he pitched 'em. The combination of Mounie and Jereme then moved into high gear and after two beautiful passes, our boy Flemming waltz- ed across. Maybe we should correct this statement: it wasn't exactly a waltz, it was a swing your partner affair. Co-cap- tain Earl Ratliff, a sure All- Tidewater selection, stood out with his aggressive play. Cy Plunkett again distinguished him- self, and' to show his importance, played every minute, a real tribute to a great player. We can't pass up Randy Smithwick who was a thorn in the Comets' side, along with Buck Clayton. We stated earlier that Clayton would be noticed later in the season. This boy started the BIG JIH sl n SN ITTY season as a center and finally landed in the wingman s slot. At the end of this game a college scout predicted a bright future for him. He is the aggressive, slashing type of end who should develop in the next few years. Thanksgiving Day we completed our season by dropping another game to the Newport News Typhoon, 14-0. As in the Maury game we played a pressing defensive game but succumbed to that passing combination of Spicer to Avery. To tell the truth this Newport News team was a great team and the score was a moral victory for us. The difference, as all through the season, was experieflce, an essential item which means either defeat or victory. .av Newport News had a rugged team, but our defense led by Ratlilf, Plunkett and Flemming, forced the Typhoon to work for every yard they gained. In summing up our activities on the gridiron, we must honestly say that this year's team gave up more enjoyment than we can put in words, thanks to Coach Wild. We admit their record was not an impressive one, but they always exhibited that fighting spirit, that feeling ofico- olperation among themselves that gives to the spectator t e feeling that the team goes down Hghting. No matter what the score, they always tried, and in defeat they looked like champions. VVith sincerity, we say that Wilson will indeed be blessed if other teams of the future can measure up to their calibre. 5 Ii'1,lTT7 MEMBERS OF THE FOOTBALL TEAM Roitom rofw, Inf! to right: Mansfield jordan, George jereme, Randolph Smithwick, Pat Barham, Gentry Lowe, Edwin Yarbrough, Charlie Fleming, Earl Ratliff, Virgil Plunkett, George Davis, Newton Elmore, Curtis Clayton, Ray Kluge, Alastair Guthrie.

In case you have for- gotten, let us refresh your memory. Giving Newport News a close game on their own floor is a neat trick and on this night we changed our nickname to the Magicians.', We battled them up and down the floor, but two minutes, the last two of the first half, ruined our chances. In those two minutes the Typhoon was lucky enough to dunk eight points-enough to sink our ship. At the close of the game most observers agreed that we deserved a better fate. To prove that defeat can be stimulating and worthwhile, we returned from Newport News to renew hostilities with the Greenville boys. The boys realized the error of their ways and really pasted the Greenies 50-37. There never was a doubt as to the out- come and Captain Sweet just had things his own way. Twisting and dodging he tossed twenty grenades into the enemy's pill-boxes, enough to cause the enemy to make a hasty retreat and seek other playmates. With our wins balancing our losses, we jour- neyed to Hampton and dropped a close 27-25 melee. This was the kind of game that was nice to win and hard to lose, and we lost. Being a good sport in this kind of a defeat is a true sign of character and our boys always exhibit this spirit. In this battle Jim Puryear, that big bad man,U garnered seven points to lead the attack. The following week we once again moved into the win column, this time against the Petersburg cagers. Advance no- tices warned us of our opponents' power but we had no respect for press clippings and really walloped the Crimson Wave. Sweet hit his stride in this encounter and peppered the back- boards for twenty-six e n ti r e Petersburg t e a m . john Smith, just as adept on the hardwood as on the gridiron, played a magnificent guarding game. He is a cool player with a keen competitive spirit. If we forgot to mention, we won 40-23. Thinking we were in fine form, we next took on the Blue Comets from Granby. However, a little Dead Eyei' by the name of Beard silenced our guns. Beard tossed in twenty points from deep in the corner and you can't beat that kinda shooting. Jim Puryear got hot in the last half and due to his shooting we almost overhauled the lads 2 NUBBYH Points, more than the RED from Norfolk, but it was not quite enough and we went down swinging, 44-36. Well, we came right back and once again balanced the W 8: L column, by beating the Amphibious Forces, a team of naval recruits, by the score of 45-31. Our boys jumped into an early lead as if they were a PT boat chasing a battleship and the Navy boys never did recover. Sweet had his night and led our attack while Johnny Smith once again played a fine defensive game. On our ninth time to the post we ran into the State Champions, Newport News, and were shellacked 50-30. It was just too much Lex, Spicer and Stephenson. Aubrey Sweet tried valiantly to keep us in the battle with twelve points but it wasn't enough. Long about this time we began to feel the eligibility clause set up by our school. We have always stressed scholastic fitness for athletes and we proved that the rule was not just a thing to be evaded. Without the ser- vices of key players we went into a period of hot and cold. Against South Nor- folk we probably had our worst night. The Tigers whipped us 21-17 and we looked anything but good. Our shots hit every- where but in the hole, and the harder we tried the more pathetic it became. Of the seventeen points we did score, ten were in the last five minutes, but then, it was a case of too late with too little. Even with a few men missing we showed spirit and fight and when the Crabbers from Hampton came over to exchange a few salvos we promptly sank their ship, 26-21. This game was close all the way and was featured by some close guarding by Nubby Jereme and john Smith. Hermann Sweet and Nubby led us in scoring with six points apiece. With a new spirit, gained in winning our first conference game, We sailed across the river to battle the Comets of Granby. We gained revenge for the previous defeat and the triumph was glorious. The final score was 52-39. Granby, rated one of the best teams in the State, just didn't have a chance. With Sweet and Flemming pourin' in, the outcome was never in doubt. The Prexies led all the way and with A. jfs twenty points and Red's sixteen, Granby never had a chance. Over in Maury the following week, our luck changed and we dropped a 47-33 decision. Red Flemming still hot as a firecracker, dropped in nineteen points to lead the scorers. We jumped into an 8-0 lead before the Commodores knew what happened, but in the end they came out on top and that's what counts. Journeying to South Norfolk we avenged another early season setback by taking over the Tigers 32-26. VVe led all the way with Sweet as usual being a conspicuous figure, with able assistance from Gopher Tanner. On the following weekend we traded shots with the Tarheels from 08N steam lT TYH ll 0 COACH BUTCH xlHAM frequent substitutions kept us from making the score board an adding machine. The score 49 24 indicates our superiority. M i s t e r Sweet made fourteen points before the spectators sat down and in the nal total it read twenty-five points. In the second game we lost a close tiff to the Amphibious Forces by the score of 28-26. VVe enjoyed a 14-8 lead at the half and then as- sumed the attitude that we beat these fellows before and we're leading now so why worry? VVhat happened was, the sailors kept hustling and we rested on our laurels with the result that the visitors eked out a close win. In our last game we hit a new low. The boys really are capable of play- ing better basketball than they dis- played this night and lyfaury just had things their own way. Mau ry had a night on and we helped her look good with a Elizabeth City, and only fi GoPHER vsoovv Sweet, who is without a wk u ,. doubt one of the nnest bas- feeble display. Only when the reserves entered the fray did we look anything like El work a b l e combination. Butch Leary showed to hne advantage by caging some nice shots. Bernard Ham looked extra smooth and should be a welcome addition to next year's re- cruits. In closing we must say a word about 4'Booty Baker. Vive think he has the makings of a great player and are looking forward 2 with anticipation to realiza- 5 tion of our prediction. '1 Taking everything into - consideration, our basket- ball season was a most suc- cessful one. Vile must give due consideration to Aubrey 'rj lar Rl keteers ever developed in these parts. VVe would like to recognize each player with an individual citation If but our space is limited. Let us say in pass- c ing that they did themselves proud and are a worthy entry into the niche that their prede- cessors carved and to which we point with pride. They stood for spirit, clean sport, will to win and excellence of performance. May they always be blessed with these sterling qualities. Diamond activities, coming rather late in the season found us unable to secure enough information to give you boys and girls the complete dope on our baseball doings. However, a few observations from spring training tell us we are going to have a crackerjack outfit. As Coach VVild took the boys through fundamentals we could see that there were a few boys of unusual ability. Starting behind the plate, wc have an able receiver in Nubby', Jereme. Last season he exhibited an uncanny knack in steadying our pitchers, also he keeps a sportsmanlike attitude toward the game which gives our boys incentive. On the initial sack we have the veteran Red Flemming. VVhen Curley sets out to participate in something he does it well and baseball is no exception. He is able to hit a long ball and we are looking for him to get his eye on the ole applef, At the keystone we have the sure fielding, dependable Bernard Ham. He is quick on the trigger in executing double plays, and should be a tower of strength in our lineup. ln the outfield we have Superman Smithwick and Buck Clayton. These boys are grand flychasers and can be depended upon to hit in the clutch. These five veterans are a nucleus around which wc can build a Firm foundation. The supporting crew although not tested under fire should come along and give us an airtight defense and a pulverizing oifense. The boys who have proved themselves valuable to our team are Smith, B. Drum, L. Luke, L. Talbot, Stutz, F. lVIanley, B. Livingston, R. Alexander, A. VVhite, H. VVilliams. VVe surely wish them all a grand and glorious season. Well, fellows, there you have itg our activities in the world of sports. As usualwe gained the respect of all our opponents and learned many lessons which are applicable to life. VVe hope you are proud of your associations made at VVilson and particularly glad for the training you gained here. We regret that we must close this part of our letter since in writing it, it brought you all closer to our hearts. May God bless you, keep you well, and happy and don't forget to drop in and see us here at Wilson when you Come back home. We would like to add a few words of news aliout or intramural program. lt served the purpose of holding the interest of the student, developing their minds and liodies and in general, acting as a tonic to relieve the everyday routine of classwork. Miss Ruth White and Coach VVild organized this program composed of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, took part in the games, and the Gremlins, a senior team, won the championship. The players on this team were Carolyn Grimes, captain, Ruth Cotton, Shirley Boyd, Fvelyn Cutchin, Charlotte Tuthill, Lolita Grimsley, Christine lfrier, Frances Saunders, Alida Codd, Norma Rutter, l.ois Staples, ldra Bryant, Roberta Hand, june Bell, and joyce Taylor. Some of the same players who won the volleyball championship, decided to form a basketball team and try to become the basketball champions, too, and win it they did. These Gremlins who personsify athletic prowess, were Frances Saunders, captain, Lois Staples, Carolyn Grimes, Christine lfrier, Shirley Boyd, Anne Kitchen, Lolita Grimsley, Alida Codd, Evelyn Cutchin, Grace Peek, Marion Powell, and june Bell. The hoys also participated in a lmasketluall league and the sophomores gathered all the laurels. Coach Booty Baker had such able players as Buck Clayton, Rhae Adams, Nut Borjes, G. Sears, K. Balili, B. laiasley, B. Smith, B. Mylott. Unfortunately these boys never could find time to pose for a picture. Besides regular league play, all the hoys and girls in the school were invited to come over to the gym on certain days after school land enjoy different sports and games. The juniors and seniors enjoyed these sports one day a week and the freshmen and sophmores, one day a week. Volleyball, ping-pong, talmle tennis, and lmadminton, were played. This new program was very successful, and another, similiar to this is planned again next year. THE GkEMI,INs Basketball Champions I Our Immortal HalffBack From From From From From From Came ll! the muddy fox holes of New Guinea the trenches of far-off Bataang the dark, blood-stained soil of Wake Island Yank planes shot down over Japan, the crimson beach there at Salerno, all places where war had brought strife, a group of American doughboys Who by dying were all to find life. VVhen they all got together in Heaven After what had seemed like a bad dream They decided to pick out eleven VVho would serve as their own football team. So they called all their numbers together, And by carefully looking around They soon filled almost every position, But a half-back was not to be found. Everyday they awaited new players, But they could not find the right one, VVho they all would accept as their team mate Cand the season had long since begun.j Well, the whole team was growing impatient, They decided the world must provide The half-back they desperately needed, The finishing touch to their side. So they called an emergency meeting To talk over quite thoroughly, just what virtue the new player must have, And just who the new player must be. They decided he must be a fighter, That, of course, must be loyal and true. CVVilson High School had just such a player Playing ball for the Orange and Blue.j Yep! He must be an all 'round good fellah! As some people would say, A right guy! And they all hoped he'd be some young fellow That the horrors of war had passed by. At a game that was played here in Portsmouth, The swift pigskin a fatal blow struckg For the half-back that team had selected Was a boy whom we fondly called Buck Out of sight, out of mind is a saying That is true in some cases, and yet .... I am sure that Buck Childs is one player, VVe of VVilson will never forget! lJUNE LOCHENOUR A :ffm ' .
