One afternoon The firebells rang, School’s on fire! Who gives a hang. The fire was put out In orderly procession, We went back inside To finish the “‘lesson.”’ After a long summer vacation, We went back in September, Elementary algebra, We could not remember. Our studies we resumed In great dismay, The gov’t decided, “Gym everyday.” Further precautions Against air raid, “Tis better to be alive, lhvanedard deus Sophomores “At Last, An appropriate tune, To the torture of Freshmen We were now immune. Uncle Sam told us To dig a little deeper, We did what he said, And bought 29 jeep—er. Mrs. Roosevelt, our first lady, We did view, Her familiar face How well we knew. Vacation again, Too quick it did go, Came back to school happy, You know that’s not so. Football thrillers Throughout the fall, But Buck Child’s death Was mourned by all. Howard Warren’s doodling Became very famous, For The Student he drew, And gained much “‘acclamious.”’ The bells were out of order, Students loitered in the hall, A bugler was selected To render nine o'clock call. Exams came around With all the commotion, Proud juniors now, We won our promotion. Some of us were excused From school to gaze, On the Carrier Shangri-La, As it slid down the ways. In our seats, We could not sag, For fear that someone Would take our posture tag. 4B Class History—Continued In the chemistry classes, Students studied emulsions and suspension, While the Coalhtion Party Held the Presidential Convention. After a very Uneventful summer, A census showed We had grown much dumber. Dick Esleeck, an alumnus Of the Alma Mater, Came back to coach football, And produce a first rater. Six wins and three loses, Our best record in years, Old Maury High School Went down in tears. What a surprise! An unexpected gift, Brand new uniforms Sure gave our band a lift. Of course there was Christmas, With classrooms bare, Students skipped classes Without a care. We started our senior year With intentions to study, But two weeks in physics Made our minds pretty muddy. Then came Baby Day, Feature of the spring, Boys in short pants, And girls in ? Buck Clayton, a three letterman, Captained the baseball nine, Shortstop Bill Smith Played mighty fine. I needn’t mention The Junior-Senior Prom You can see the picture In this book anytime. Exams we passed, We could not fail, To repeat the grade Would be worse than jail. During the summer, The war was won, The world was at peace, Except at Wilson. I could name our class officers, It’s a terrible grind, You can see I’m stuck, Can’t think of a rhyme. Our football team was swell, It really was a pip, Had it not been for Granby, They’ed have won State Championship. Five brother seniors Played their last games, Smith, Wyatt, Johnson, Andrews, And Clayton are their names. Our school days were ending, We had many dues, Annual pictures, college applications, And don’t forget class dues. My history is ended, If I’ve left you out, Please ignore it, And be a good scout. By Mitton Fiver, [PARKER ) JHAREER, “S TALKER, ard Note : ' Veokutn’ Wyatt — 455 ee aii STATE | yaa MaArItyn BLow CLASS SONG (Time: Canis becimtonlem Yong) It’s time for us to leave, We hate to say goodbye For we’ve enjoyed it here At Wilson High. All our friends and teachers Who’ve been so nice and kind, It’s hard to go and leave them Here behind. We pretend to be so happy And glad to get away, But in our hearts we really know That we would like to stay. We've had fun in activities In which we’ve taken part And so to Wilson High We leave our heart. By Marityn Buiow.

Here’s that photograph album I’ve been keeping all through high school. Gosh, this old book brings back loads of memories. Here we are that first day at Wilson, feeling important at the thought of being high school students. We scarcely recognized our pals from grammar school. The girls had cut off their braids and long curls and were sporting wavy feather bobs. The peak of our new “‘sophistication” was the fact that none of the boys were wearing knickers—not even Len Kaplan. What an exciting day that was. But our feeling of importance didn’t last long. Here’s a snapshot of some of us being kidded by those teasing sophomores. We went through every trick and torture any freshman class has ever known—from buying reservations in the lunch room to going to Mr. Jones for corks for the water fountains. We really had a tough time, but we managed to survive our difficulties with the help of Miss Wood- house, our adviser, and Billy Fore, our class president. This picture is dated fall 1948. No longer the scapegoats of the school, we sophomores seem pretty satisfied with ourselves. Here’s a girl in a deep swoon. No doubt, Rhae Adams or Charlie Fleming had just passed by. Oh, oh! In the next few photos we’re wearing worried expressions. the results, probably of algebra 4 or A Tale of Two Cities. Billy Fore was re-elected as president of our class and again we chose Miss Woodhouse for our adviser. Why, here’s the snapshot of Mrs. Roosevelt as we all saw her the day she visited Wilson High. And here’s a picture of “Buck” Childs. All of us grief stricken that year when our beloved classmate and friend died as a result of a football injury. Yes, a lot of unforgettable events took place in our sophomore year. Turn another page and here we are juniors, and quite an active bunch, too. Here’s Dot Buck as editor-in-chief of The Student, a position she kept until she graduated. From our class came many of Wilson’s most outstanding athletes— Mounie, Fleming, Richards, Adams, Borjes, and others. That picture shows some of the contestants in the Tidewater literary contests, Lila Satz, Charles Wood, Thomas Bradshaw, and Rosalie Schlitz. Billy Fore was our class president (for a change) and Miss Eleanor Dashiell was our adviser. Here’s a picture of that year’s Student Council in which, I see, some of our class had important offices. What a thrilling year that was, packed with the joys of Frank Sinatra, Mur- den’s, Dramatic Club plays, the Junior-Senior Prom, and, best of all, the ending of the war. But it also had its tragic side, with the world wide lamented death of our late President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. These last snapshots are the best, although how we ever found time for photo- graphy in our senior year I can’t imagine. ‘‘Speed, hurry, rush!” must have been our slogan. We were kept pretty busy working on The President or The Student staff, ordering rings, announcements, and calling cards, memorizing Shakespeare, slaving over those... . bibliographies, and performing in auditorium programs. JUNE CLASS HISTOR Y—Continued This year Miss Dashiell was again our adviser and Rhae Adams our class president. Billy Fore was elected president of the Student Council of which several others of our class were officers. These pictures of Baby Day are just adorable, and these photos of Janice Adams, Anne Dempsey, Beverley Beck, Jean Crowder, and Billy Gay as cheer leaders are awfully cute. And here at last are some pictures of our graduation. Don’t we look ambitious and inspired in our caps and gowns? And of course, that’s Marjorie Cross crying her eyes out. We all felt rather sad to be leaving Wilson at last. Those four years flew by so swiftly that even with such preliminaries as taking pictures for the annual and filing applications for diplomas did not prepare us for the unhappy moment when we said good-bye to Woodrow Wilson High School. And so the book is closed—but nothing can ever make us forget the ties of friendship and happiness which bind us loyally together forever—the Class of 1946. RoSsALIE SCHLITZ.

Since that time our lives have certainly changed a great deal, and quite a number of our old bunch have made themselves famous. Rhae Adams is a Captain in the Navy, while Billy Fore has become president of a big shipbuilding concern. Anne Dempsey is teaching Latin at a girls’ school, and Janice Adams is playing the lead in a Broadway hit. Guess you also knew that Charlie Fleming, former All-American half-back at Duke Uni versity, and Jack Mounie, All-American full-back at Notre Dame, are now coaching the football teams of their Alma Mater. Pookum Wyatt and Buck Clayton couldn’t give up athletics, so they’ve gone into pro-football. Pookum is star tackle for the Washington Redskins, and Buck, at Green Bay, is fast making the fans forget the incomparable Don Hutson. Had a letter from Marjorie Lou Cross recently. You know, of course, that she’s travelling abroad, and is having quite an interesting time. She told me about meeting Winslow Ledbetter in France, where he’s studying art, and of seeing Jim Lawrence in London, where he’s collaborating with the British Government in a new scientific development. Not very long ago I saw “Weazy” Van Dyck pushing around a baby carriage with, of all things, twins! They’re as sweet as can be. I guess you’ve heard that Audrey Oast is directing women’s activities at the Y. M. C. A., and that Jean Parker is a dean of girls at her college Alma Mater. Howard Warren is making a name for himself with his cartoons, while Dorothy Buck runs a “Gossip of the Day” column on the local news- paper. Bobby Payne is a local distributor for the Texas Oil Company, and Clarice Collier is Secretary to one of our leading attorneys. Beverley Beck moved to California shortly after graduation, and I hear she has an adorable hat shop out in San Diego. Janet, you must write and tell me all about yourself and family—have you married, or are you one of the career girls of our class? I shall be expecting a nice, long letter soon. Fondly, JEAN. Dear Janet, Today has been a “Red Letter” day for me—so many nice things have happened, topped off by your sweet letter. We must never again become careless about our correspondence. It was quite a surprise to hear that you had seen Dolph Henry and Allen Bynum at the Air Station, although we all felt sure they would remain in the Service after the War. Since my last letter I have learned the whereabouts of several of our old class, so settle yourself in your favorite rocking chair and relax. You'll never guess what profession the happy-go-lucky “Booty” Baker is following. It was while in Memphis attending a horse show that my attention was drawn to an impressive looking mortuary in Edison Avenue bearing the name of Baker Cross, and upon further inspection learned that “Booty” was one of the successful partners. Remember the lovely red-haired Barbara Ketchum? Barbara has made quite an enviable repu- tation for herself as a resident nurse at Mayo Brothers Clinic. Milton Hathaway is thrilling thousands with his sports review on W. P. M., and Alastair Guthrie is Math. Professor at Cornell University, and to whom do you think he is married—none other than the vivacious, blonde Sally Oast. I had completely lost track of Fenton Martin and Bill Saxon, but heard the other day that Fenton is an electrical contractor in Atlanta, and Bill is Athletic Director at the Y. M. C. A. in St. Louis. Hollywood scouts took one glimpse at Baxter Wilson’s handsome profile, and signed him up for the starring role in “?” Peggy Byers, although happily married to a successful business man, is conducting a dancing studio in Suffolk, and Tommy Kirk plays the hottest Sax in New Orleans in a big name orchestra. As you know, bridge is one of my hobbies, and the other day at the Club luncheon I was delighted to see three happily married members of the Class of ’46—Joyce Swiney, Martha Ann Clayton and CLASS PROPHECY —Contin ued Virginia Hewitt. During our chat they told me that Evelyn Robertson and Patsy Murphy, who went over to England after the War as Red Cross representatives, had just returned home for a visit; they both married British officers. I see Brooks Parker quite often; he has a lovely family, and is practicing law in Norfolk. Jackie Poffenbarger still loves the water, and is swimming instructor at the Cavalier Hotel. You ask about Dolores Blanchard. I saw her downtown the other day, and she is just as attractive as ever. She, too, is married, and has a precious daughter. At the Maury-Wilson game on Thanksgiving Day I sat next to Bobby Hannaman; he still is a staunch supporter of old Wilson, and is a draftsman in the Navy Yard here. Janet, dear, please let me hear from you again real soon, and give my love to your sweet baby and Bill. In the meantime I shall try to add a few more links to our chain of the class of ’46. Affectionately, JEAN. Dear ‘Fanet, No, dear, I have not forgotten you; it’s been just a plain case of globe-trotting since my last letter. This time it was a trip out West, where I have not been since I was four years old, and needless to say, it was wonderful. Enroute home I stopped off in New York to wind up my shopping; it was while there that I read in the Herald that Tim Kane was boxing in Madison Square Garden in the Golden Glove Tournament, and that Ray Schools was a sports photographer on the New York Times. I also saw a baseball game between the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers at Yankee Stadium, and was thrilled to a peanut to see our old friend, Fred Manley, playing left field for the Yankees. Incidentally, he broke up the game in the seventh inning with a home run. When I boarded the plane for home I| discovered, to my great surprise and delight, that our pilot was Ben Andrews. Wilda Whitman, who was so anxious to become a doctor, is now chief hostess with the American Air Lines. It would seem that our old class is scattered over the entire continent, or is it that the world is small after all? Had a letter the other day from Jean Crowder, who is married and living in Portland, Oregon, and was | surprised to hear that Johnny Richards, our former football center, is her dentist! Helen Lee Jones, travelling about the country, wrote me from Florida that she had seen Marie Lowe and her adorable little daughter. Helen also wrote that Joyce Ward was Physical Education Director at Smith College in Pittsburgh. You'll never guess whom I saw last week in Norfolk—none other than handsome Burnley Miller. He is now a Lieutenant in the Army, having finished West Point with honors. Looking through the November issue of Fortune, | read an interesting account of a new venture in Venezuela by one of the leading American oil companies headed by a young petroleum expert, Henry Peacock. Bill Smith is the typical example of “Local Boy Makes Good.”’ After completing his college career, he started a sporting goods business, which is proving very successful. Remember, we had quite a large class, and it would be almost impossible to write about all of them, so many having left for their former homes after the War, but isn’t it kind of fun day-dreaming of the good old days at Wilson? It’s been so nice swapping notes with you, Janet, so let’s do this quite often—it keeps those won- derful school day memories alive. Best of luck always! Fondly, JEAN.

Epwarps The Activities Association has been organized for extra curricular entertain- ment for all Wilson students. In joining the Activities Association, a student is able to participate and contribute to the school spirit. This year activities have included interests in addition to football and basketball games, such as dances after the “home” football games, a football given away at a game, a talent pro- gram, special “grammar school night” at a football game, skating, movies, pie eating contest, jitterbugging, a novelty track meet and a mascot for the team, “Wilson Willie,” the pig. Activity members are entitled to copies of The Student, attendance at the Dramatic Club plays and any other activities sponsored by the Activities Association. “With paints and palettes” Art Club The Art Club is composed of students taking at least Art 2 and any Junior or Senior interested in art. The purpose of the club is to create appreciation of art in everyday living and to promote art as a hobby, pastime or vocation in the lives of all concerned. The Art Club is striving for the betterment of the appearance of the school and to make others more aware of the part art plays in beautifying and in adding enjoyment to all conditions. This year the Art club held an exhibit in the gym during “Open House”’ night, consisting of work of art students. The display was designed by two members of the Art Club.

That auditorium program furnished certain unforgettable instances; Burnley Miller as the preacher with Johnny Richards the bride and Beachy Johnson the groom; Charlie Fleming’s humazoo solo, Sug Parker’s invitation to go courting in his ice truck; Fred Manley’s rendition of “Hong Kong Blues,” and eight boisterously jubilant end men with Rhae Adams as the interlocutor. The Boys’ Monogram Club is composed of athletes who have earned their mono- gram in one of the major sports. This year the club has sponsored the football programs and has also erected the Childs’ Mound in memory of Roger Childs, who lost his life while playing football for Wilson.

All the girls worked hard at selling the programs and the money earned was used to buy the Monogram Club pins. For the first time in school history, the Monogram Club acted as hostesses for a play-day at which Granby and Maury schools were invited—the familiar ring of “last serve, strike 3-out” was heard again this year when the girls acted as officials for all sports and the play-day.

O Tempora, O Mores!” This may sound like Greek to you, but to the members of the Discipuli Antiquorum it has a very potent meaning. It signifies the study of Roman civilization the hard way through Caesar and Cicero. The aim of this club is to study Roman civilization the painless way through speeches and plays and to extend an interest in the study of Latin in the high school and community. To carry out this aim the members put on a Latin play in the auditorium and sponsored several club programs based on the theme of Roman civilization.

At that time Miss Phillips was the adviser of the Council. Through the years since, there has been many feet of film shown to the students of Wilson. In 1923 the school got its first movie projector which was a 35mm silent theatrical projector. Since the showing of the first pictures, through the years science has made progress in the develop- ing of sound reproduction from film, and Wilson has been right behind these developments. When sound came into the movie houses, Wilson wasn’t far behind, because in 1932 there were purchased two 25mm theatrical sound projectors. This allowed a constant showing without the interruption of changing film in one machine. It was this same year that the Activi ties Association was started. With this one Motion Picture Council expanded and movies became one of the principal activities of the Activities Association Program. In 1938 a 16mm arc projector was purchased, and Wilson became the first school in the state to have both the 16mm and the 35mm movie projectors. It was with the purchase of this 16mm sound projector, that did away with the two 35mm projectors, owing to the fact that sufficient illumination was not received from the 35mm projectors upon the screen. The council consisting on an average of 40 members have done a lot for the school. Many have benefitted from the training they have received from it. The duties of the members are to do each task pertaining to the projection of the show. Some few are operators, some in charge of the screen, some in charge of sound, some in charge of shades, and some in charge of the doors taking up tickets as the people come to see the show. Cooperation is the one thing that makes the council function. However, the showing of movies is not the only thing that the council does. When there are con- certs, plays, or an important speaker, the Motion Picture Council is often called upon to take tickets for these affairs.

Under the sponsorship of Senorita Woodard and the leadership of Senior Jimmy Lawrence, the club has participated in such activities as correspondence with Latin Americans, showing moving pictures, personal contact with Latin America, and the Pan- American Day Program, April 14. We are proud of our Award of Merit won by means of our activities. Our programs were made both educational and amusing by talks and skits on Latin American Republics and especially by Senorita Beatrice Bacuetes’s rendition of several Spanish songs. We have earnestly tried to en- courage the study of Spanish in the high school since we believe that with a know- ledge of Latin American civilization, there will be a greater security, prosperity, and enrichment of living among the peoples of the Western Hemisphere. “Ye shall know the truth’ Quill and Scroll OFFICERS First Term Second Term AUDREY OAS anne ae ee eee me Lest Cent PATS YI UIP EL Ya ase anc eee ae ....President PAmSY: IMIORIP EDA nninene ; Pennants Viece=eresiaent ROSALIE SCHLITZ.....

In the past year the activities of the club have been outstanding in many ways, and the Hi-Y members are proud of their accomplishments. Kirst of all, the club was fortunate in obtaining prominent speakers for the innumerable functions, such as the School Chapel program and club gatherings. The club promoted and carried on clean- up campaigns, had posters made for illustrative purposes, presented the flag regularly for chapel, operated Projective Machine for movies, secured a Trophy Case for the school, and sponsored numerous successful school dances. The Hi-Y is proud to announce that plans are in progress to erect a Chapel in the Y. M. C. A. This chapel will be available to everyone of all denominations at any time. In order to fulfill this achievement the Hi-Y members are putting forth all efforts to reach their goal. MEMBERS AtviIn Haynes Howarpb CALLis Linpon P.

This year the outstanding project of the Presidents is the erection of a suitable memorial to the honor of the Wilson students who have served and are serving our country in the Armed Forces. The activities of the club cover weekly business meetings, socials, and minor services to the high school. The Presidents, along with the other Hi-Y clubs, sponsor the chapel services of the high school, taking their turn in arranging for the speakers and encouraging better attendance. Membership in this club is a material influence in the life of any boy in high school. It stands for the very best in Scholarship, Fair-Play, Respect for Home and Religion and Cooperation for the good of the community.

Having the required average of “C’’ , she is then voted upon by the club according to her qualifications. After the girl has been voted on, she is taken into the club, and a special induction service is held. This service is very impressive. The club has sponsored many activities. At the beginning of the term a tea was given for the mothers which was a great success. As our yearly project we have taken the Westhaven Orphanage. Already a Halloween Party has been given that turned out to be enjoyable for all. Another interesting project was “Share Your Food.” Our total sum nearing $100 was given to World Service to be given to the unfortunate. For our programs educational and various entertaining topics are chosen to be talked upon. These helpful topics are given by faculty members, or prominent civic leaders. Other activities of the club included sponsorship of the weekly chapel services during the month of October. The attendance has improved greatly. We chose the following as honorary members: Mr. R. L. Sweeney, Mr. Tom Miller, Mr. T. A Willet and Mr. A. S. Owens. Our religious adviser, Reverend W. W. White, our parent adviser is Mrs. George Oast and our faculty adviser is Miss Georgiana Woodhouse. It is hoped that members who succeed us will carry the torch high and strive for higher ideals in a swell club and a fine Christian organization.

Since that time it has concentrated all its energies toward carrying out the purpose of the club: “To train the members in public speaking, debating, and the discussion of all happenings that are of a current nature and of interest to this club.” During the summer months the Forum _ conducted several roundtable discus- sions, open to the public; on current problems con- fronting every citizen. Dur- ing the current school year the Forum has conducted similar discussions in its own meetings and has par- ticipated in debates with other schools. In the public speaking and debating, con- tests of the past two years Forum members have play- ed an outstanding part. The Woodrow Wilson Forum is proud of its previous ac- complishments and looks forward to greater accom- plishments in the future. “Can't help singing” School Choir The School Choir was organized last year by Professor A.

JOHNNY RICHARDS As center on our football team He was “Johnny on the spot,” And also on the basketball court, He was an excellent shot, The Seniors have elected him The cutest in his class When it comes to an all-around “regular guy” Old Johnny's hard to pass ALASTAIR GUTHRIE In history, English, science and math Whatever the subject may be, You'll find that Alastair can’t be topped, For an “A” is his mark, you see Not only in studies does he excel, But his letter in football he earned, The brilliant record which he has made Is one for which many have yearned. MARGIE LOU CROSS If you want someone to do some work, That no one wants to do, And you want it done in a top-notch way, Just look for Margie Lou. She's made her mark at basketball, On the Annual and in Hi-Y, And she'll be one we'll proudly recall, When we think of Wilson High. JEAN McLEAN We shall never think of horse shows Without remembering Jean. At every game of any kind Her loyalty was seen. She's made high grades in classes, And in clubs has done her part, Her achievements here at Wilson Are of the very highest sort. CHARLIE FLEMING Zooming down a football field, With that goal always in view, Or shooting his “two” with a basketball, And hitting a homer, too An all around good athlete, Who's sure to reach great fame, Charlie's really a fellow who knows The way to play the game. JACK MOUNIE If you want a man who loves a game And plays with his heart and soul, Jack Mounie’s the choice, for his football skill Has carried that ball ‘cross the goal. As a boy who made All-Southern He claimed his just reward, For Mounie’s one we'll remember well As playing the game clean and hard. ROSALIE SCHLEITZ Were you looking for Edgar Bergen When Charlie McCarthy you heard? Say, didn’t you know it was Rosalie Ventriloquizing every word? That little girl is famous For her very original wit. And she’s made a scholastic record That is mighty hard to hit. ANNE DEMPSEY Quiet and sweet as a lullaby But witty and clever, too, Here's a toast to our little Anne Who is loyal and fine all through. Quick to defend in a friendly way The things she believes are right, “Best all-around” we voted her, Our outstanding Wilsonite. RHAE ADAMS Rhae’s our Senior President He’s our pride and joy, Clever in his studies, And a very handsome boy Skillful as an athlete, Mighty popular, too, For your versality, Rhae, we're proud of you BILLY FORE Every Friday at assemblies You've seen Billy on the stage, He’s one whose personality Has put him on this page. For his conscientious labor And his good heart-warming smile Our Billy’s one whose friendship Has made high school days worth while. JEAN PARKER An all-around good sport is Jean, Liked by everyone, She's always one who's working And always full of fun. Friendly and loyal-hearted She lives without much fuss, And so the Seniors voted her, “Miss Personality Plus.” Runners Up CHARLES WOOD BOBBY PAYNE BAXTER WILSON BOBBY HANNAMAN JIMMY LAWRENCE DOROTHY BUCK HELEN JONES JANICE ADAMS JOYCE WARD Last Will and Testament We, the firm of Ward, Collier, and Kan represent the Senior Class of 1946, who still being in sound mind despite four years of intense mental struggle, do will and bequeath to our beloved Alma Mater, the following assets: To the entire student body we leave our brilliance, our dignity, and a host of happy experiences.

FIFTY CANDIDATES GREETED ESLEECK At the first call, fifty Wilson football candidates reported to Coach Esleeck and Assistant Coach Phess Woodson for grid duty in 1945. Nine lettermen were on hand, including Charlie “Red” Fleming, Jack Mounie, Rhae Adams, and Howard Borum, backs, and Captain Buck Clayton, John Wyatt, Johnny Rich ards, Ben Andrews, and Buddy Johnson, linemen. ‘New prospects for positions included Billy Farris and Burnley Miller, backs, and Leo Anto- nucci, Albert Auerback, Bill McDonald, Richard Alexander, Beverly Jones, Bobby Payne, Fred M: anley, and Pete Blosser, linemen. PREXIES FACE, TOUGH NINE GAME SLATE Opening their season September 28 against South Norfolk at Portsmouth, the Presidents faced one of their toughest schedules in history. Eight of the nine games to be played were to be of the Class “‘A”’ variety. Pre- season prospects looked fairly bright, although popular Karl A. (Dick) Esleeck, who last season guided the Presi- dents to their best grid record in ten years, was faced with the task of building a practically new line. WILSON ELEVEN IMPRESSIVE IN WIN OVER TIGERS Sparked by the brilliant performance of “Red” Fleming, the Presidents roared to an impressive 32-0 victory over a heavy South Norfolk High eleven at the local stadium. Touchdowns were scored by Jack Mounie, who reached pay-dirt twice, Captain Buck Clayton, Red Fleming, and Howard Borum. Veteran Rhae Adams kicked the extra points. Al Auerback, rugged 190-pound tackle, was taken to the hospital after receiving an ankle and knee injury in this initial contest. WILSON DOWNS HOPEWELL, 25-0 The power-gaining Wilson football team rolled over Hopewell, 25 to 0, on October 5 in their first conference tilt. Charlie Fleming, used sparingly because of an injury, scored two of Wilson’s touchdowns and passed to Buck Clayton for another. Bill Smith, coming back from last year, accounted for the fourth touchdown. Adams booted the extra point. WILSON TRAMPLES WASHINGTON, 32-6 Led by Howard Borum, sophomore halfback, the powerful Presidents smashed their way to a 32-6 victory over Central High of W ashington on October 12 in a non-conference tilt. Borum scored two of the touchdowns while Fleming, Mounie, and Tim Kain registered the others, and Adams kicked two extra points. FOOTBALL AT WILSON HIGH— Continued WILSON WHIPS ARLINGTON, 27-0 The versatile and undefeated Wilson team kept the slate clean when it overwhelmed the highly touted Wash- ington and Lee High of Arlington, 27 to 6, on October 19. Sparked by Fleming, Mounie, and Clayton, the Presi- dents scored in every quarter. Adams kicked 38 out of the 4 placements. WILSON RALLIES TO TOP CRIMSON WAVE Raw courage paid off for the valiant Presidents on October 27 when they came from behind to punch out a much-deserved 16 to 7 victory over the previously undefeated and unscored upon Crimson Wave of Petersburg High School. Touchdowns were made by Mounie and Borum, with Adams kicking the two placements. Every player was outstanding, with Charlie Fleming sparking the victory by his exceptionally excellent playing. WILSON DOWNS MAURY, 25-0 Rolling to their sixth straight victory, the Presidents smashed their ancient rivals from Norfolk, the Maury Commodores, 25 to 0, on November 2. Mounie crashed over for three touchdowns, while Fleming passed to Clayton for the other. Adams kicked the extra point. PRESIDENTS BLANK CRABBERS, 20-0 On November 10, the superb Wilson Presidents rode high on the crest of a 20 to 0 victory at the expense of Hampton. Borum racked up the first tally, and Fleming and Mounie accounted for the other two touchdowns. Adams kicked an extra point and the alert Fleming grabbed a blocked placement, kicked by Adams, and carried it over for the other point. GRANBY CRUSHES WILSON BEFORE 25,000 The initial game to determine the state championship was played at Foreman Field on November 17 before 25,000 anxious and nervous spectators. The Blue Comets, winning as they pleased, 46 to 13, completely out- maneuvered and outpowered the Presidents. Fleming’s 88-yard run on the kickoff gave Wilson its first touch- down in the third period. The second touchdown was also made by Fleming, after gains by Mounie, Borum, and himself. Fleming kicked the extra point squarely through the uprights. WILSON AND NEWPORT NEWS CLASH Winding up their football season of 1945 on Thanksgiving Day at the Portsmouth Stadium, the Wilson Presidents trounced Newport News, 32 to 7. Red Fleming ended his high school career in a blaze of glory as he scored three of the touchdowns; Burnley Miller and Billy Farris accounted for the other two. Rhae Adams kicked the two extra points. Rebounding brilliantly after their only defeat of the season at the hands of Granby on November 17, the Presidents closed their most successful football campaign since 1934 by trouncing Newport News on Thanks- giving Day, 32 to 7, thus stowing away a record of eight wins to claim runner-up honors in the State Class ““A”’ race. RICHARD ALEXANDER Richard Alexander, better known to some people as “‘Bullet™ or “Gudgeon,” is Johnny Richard’s stand in at center, and has done a good job of it too. Weighing 153 pounds, he has a lot of drive in his frame and makes it really tough for his opponents. Richard specializes in backing up the line, filling in the holes in the line, and stopping the opponents’ plays before they get started. He also has a likable disposition, and is sometimes recognized as the “Lover” of the team. LEO ANTONUCCI Leo, better known to his friends as ‘‘Nuchie,”’ is one of Coach Esleeck’s hardest workers in that powerful forward wall. Hav- ing begun his career in the Wilson backfield, he this year did an excellent job in the tackle position. He is of an exceptionally good build, and excels not only in football, but also in basket- ball, swimming, and boxing. He is well liked by his fellow students for his friendly attitude, and his cooperative spirit RHAE ADAMS All-Southern (honorable mention); All-State Tidewater; All Foreman Field. (second); All- Rhae, a blond-headed guard, began his football career in the Wilson backfield. This year, however, so well did he play his new position that he was named to the ““All-Foreman Field” first string. Rhae is well known for his fine kickoffs. his good work in intercepting passes, and his solid tackling. His ex- cellent sportsmanship and his happy spirit are as distinctive as his almost white hair. Rhae’s popularity is attested to in the position he holds as President of the Senior Class. He has been described as an ideal Wilson Student because of his out- standing scholarship, athletic ability, extra curricular work and genuine school spirit BEN ANDREWS Ben is a guard who makes up for his light weight in speed and fight. He does a job that is not often noticed, but is essential to running plays in interference and blocking. Ben excels in leading reverses and off-tackle plays. He is a Port Norfolk boy, who got his start in the Community League, where he was chosen for the All-City team. He plays the game hard and clean, and has covered his job this year in a splendid manner HOWARD BORUM Though only a sophomore in school, Howard has set an enviable record on the football field this year. He came to Wilson from the Community League in 1943, where he was a star for Prentis Park. Serving last year as blocking back, Howard was this year shifted to running back where he has brought great credit to his team and to himself. His running in several of the games was nothing short of spectacular. His remaining two years at Wilson are expected to give Howard a real chance to continue his fine playing BILLY FARRIS Although this is Billy's first year on the squad, he has done an excellent bit of work in a hard role as blocking back. Billy is five feet, ten inches and weighs about 165 pounds, which is all muscle. A product of the Community League, he was Prentis Park's sparkplug last year. Billy is distinctive for his ready smile and his “‘stinker”’ hair cuts. He has had a big part in Wilson's successive victories and big things are expected from him next year. PETE, BEOSSER Pete tips the sales at 180 pounds, all of which is solid muscle. This year Pete established himself as one of the best ends in Tidewater. He's a scrappy ball player and can always be de- pended on to stop plays coming around his end. He not only made a name for himself on the gridiron, but was in the service of his country before returning to school this fall. Pete is a hard worker and has a great deal of enthusiasm for whatever he undertakes. BUCKICE WahON All-State (second); All-Tidewater (second); All-Foreman Field (second). Captain Buck Clayton is one of the main reasons why we have had such a splendid record this year. Buck, who is a native of Port Norfolk, is not only noted for his spectacular touchdown catches, but also for his outstanding work in smashing the opponents’ plays on the defense. It was natural that Buck was elected captain this year, for he is a shining example of good sportsmanship and fair play. His brilliant leadership has been an inspiration to the players throughout the season. BILLY FORE Billy, a popular fellow, is one of the outstanding members of the Wilson football team, not only for his ability to play foot- ball, but because he was once told by the doctors that he could never play at the sport. However, his constant determination to do something about this caused him to ignore a bad hip and to become a fighting member of this year’s team. Billy, a tall, husky 17 year old with blonde hair and green eyes, is a blocking back who really does his job well. As President of the Student Body, he has also played other important roles well. ALASTAIR GUTHRIE Alastair Guthrie, who is only 16 years old, stands six feet, two inches, and weighs 180 pounds. He hails from Dallas, Texas, and has resided in Portsmouth for four years. “Al” has been on a Wilson team three years, but only this year he began to blossom out as a really good player. He draws praises from the coaches for his never-die efforts, which lead directly to his fine defensive work. Scholastically he is tops, and throughout his high school career has received the highest possible grades. CHARLIE FLEMING All-State; All-Tidewater (second); All-Southern mention); All-Foreman Field (second). (honorable Charlie, a red-headed hunk of dynamite, who bears all the ear- marks of a real football player, is the Cassanova of the team. Playing his fourth year on the squad, Charlie began as center and has now become one of the outstanding backs of the state. Known for his flashy running, his consistent punting, and his accurate passing, Charlie has been a sparkplug on the Wilson eleven. He is liked by everyone for his genial disposition and his excellent spirit and he is the hero of the freshman girls who drool over his autograph. Having made one of the “‘All- Tidewater’ teams for the last three years and having in ‘44 received the “Harry Brownley’’ Award, Charlie has a brilliant football career ahead of him at college. BUDDY JOHNSON All-Tidewater (honorable mention). James Roy Johnson, better known as “Smoke” or “Buddy,” hails from Jacksonville, Florida. The first year he played varsity football he earned his letter as an excellent guard. This has been Bud's second year on the team, and the 155 pound Florida boy has played a whale of a game at his slot. BILLY McDONALD Bill, a husky 185 pound tackle from Port Norfolk, is one of our best tackles. He has shown great success in his blocking both on the offense and the defense. He is an excellent extra-point kicker and has served well in that department. Bill will be back next season, and will be a valuable member of the squad. His ambition after graduation is to play college football. BURNLEY MILLER Burnie, a tall, well-built back, who holds the admiration of both sexes, came to Wilson from Churchland. This year he has been an outstanding member of the Wilson backfield, and could be depended on to do his part toward getting those enviable touchdowns. He has a lot of drive, and will be re- membered for his interception of the pass in the Thanksgiving game which gave us another 6 points. His likable disposition has made him popular with both boys and girls. As well as for his football talent, Burnie will be remembered as “Reverend Flipflop” in the Monogram Club program. TIM KAIN Tim, that ““Toothless Wonder,” is 135 pounds of solid drive. Famous for his boxing triumphs, he has packed that punch into his football career, and has this year played a good game as Mounie’s substitute. “The Blond Bomber,” as he is called, had his big moment when he scored a touchdown against Central High. Tim plays hard and with his whole heart in the game. Light and shifty, he has also the power and backbone necessary to make a good fullback. FRED MANLEY Fred, a Port Norfolk boy, is small but rugged as they come. He is good at snagging passes, and has been tough to beat on the defense. Fred has been really “on the ball” this season, and through his determined efforts has become a fine end. Fis ambition is to become a pro baseball player, and his fine spirit and exceptional sports ability should help him achieve this goal. 4 eo wan hee 4 ¢ § we BOBBY PAYNE Bobby, originally a guard, was shifted to end when he came out for the Wilson team in °44. He showed his ability at end and was headed for a regular berth on the “45 eleven. He was shifted back to guard where his power was needed. Bobby drives low and hard and holds his territory like a wildcat. He has played fine football at Wilson this year and will long be remembered on the gridiron. JOHN ROCK John, a 16 year old end, is five feet, eleven inches tall and weighs about 165 pounds. Last year he was a_ backfield candidate, but this year as an end he has seen a great deal of action, and has been a great help to the team with his consistent playing in a tough spot. John, also, came up to the Wilson team from the Prentis Park Community League team. JACK MOUNIE All-Tidewater; All-Southern; All-State (second); All-Foreman Field (second). Rated as one of the best line backers in the State of Virginia, Jack, who was captain of the °44 eleven, has shown great power also as a running back. This year his power plunges have meant a great deal, and his excellent cooperation and unselfish team spirit have been a source of high morale to the squad. Jack has played three years of varisty football, and is deeply admired by his teammates, not only for his athletic ability, but also because of his fighting spirit and good humor. He has called the plays with a level head. Extremely modest and always playing a clean game for the love of the game, Jack has made such a real contribution to the ‘45 football team, that he was awarded the Harry Brownley Award as the most valuable player of the year. JOHNNY RICHARDS Johnny, first string center this year, has been outstanding in his position. He came up to the Wilson eleven from the Community League where he played good football. Johnny really stands out on the defense, for he is in there on the tackles as well as making a fine job of centering the ball. He has also been alert on pass interception and paved the way for a Wilson touchdown by his wise interception. Basketball, also, is one of Johnny's specialties, and on the lighter side, he will be re- membered as the bride in the Monogram Club program. BILL SMITH Bill, a five foot, 8 inch senior from Thomas- ville, N. C., is known for his bashfulness as well as his football ability. Light, speedy, and alert, he has proved a fine member of the squad and has been outstanding as a substitute. Bill has been on the squad two years and this year has seen a lot of action. He is a “good fellow’ among the boys on the team and is admired for his quiet frankness, his athletic ability, his sincerity, and his fun-loving disposition. Although he claims that girls are off his column of interest, he has been frequently seen auto- graphing his picture for members of the fairer sex. JOHN WYATT All-State; All-Tidewater; All-Foreman Field (second). Pookum is the name that has been tacked on to John Wyatt for a long time. He weighs 190 pounds, and is a Wilson repre- sentative this year for the All-State team at the tackle post. He holds the respect of his teammates because of his constant efforts to do his best whether he gets the glory or not. Having lived in Prentis Park the 19 years of his life, he will long be re- membered at Wilson as one who played his part in a manner that should receive the highest commendation. STRUCK “WW. HH. S—Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah” Cheer Leaders “Cone on now, let’s give “The Presidents’ Swing’ and put some real yelling into it.” Ever hear that before? Yes, it’s the old cry of those eleven white-clad students who work so hard to let our teams know we’re backing them. This year the cheerleaders have worked out several new formations and have introduced “The Lucky Seven,” ‘“‘Figaroo,” and ““The Four Rahs” into the cheering program.

In the spirit of this poem, we clasp the thread of memory, as we dedicate this page to a boy who would have been one of us graduates, except that he ended his life “playing the game.”” Here among the athletes who were his teammates, we pause to pay tribute to the memory of Roger (Buck) Childs, who lost his life, October 5, 1943.

Playing Hampton, Newport News, Granby, and Maury twice each, the Presidents proved the masters of Hampton both times and broke even with Newport News. Maury and Granby, however, were more difficult, and each defeated Wilson in both engagements. Including non-conference contests Wilson evened the games by winning nine and losing the same number. Coach Harris (Phess) Woodson, making his debut as basketball mentor at Wilson, possessed fine material in Captain “Nut” Borjes, “Booty” Baker, Charlie Fleming, Jack Mounie, Henry Peacock, Johnny Richards, and also “Buck” Clay- ton, a mid-term graduate. These boys were admired by the cage fans throughout the season for their unconquerable spirit which was displayed in every game until the final whistle. A good example of this spirit took place in the Petersburg gym. Until the last four minutes, the Wilson five, on the short end of a 24 to 15 score, were ex- periencing what seemed to be a stinging loss; however, the Prexies, sparked by their fighting spirit, refused to accept defeat. With excellent team-work they bombarded the basket with goals totalling ten points. The game ended 25 to 24 with promising ““Mater’’? White tossing the winning goal in the last twenty seconds of the game! We can indeed be proud of the Wilson basketball team and Coach Woodson, who have given us something far more valuable than an undefeated season. BASKETBALL JACK MOUNIE—just as in football, Jack is the hard working, brilliant defensive man. The opposition’s best man is always assigned to Jack by Coach Woodson. This is his third year on the varisty squad. JIMMY BAKER—he’s the tall lanky six foot center who specializes in “hook” shots. “Booty” is equally adept on both the offensive and defensive, showing high scoring honors with Fleming. He's a three year varsity veteran. CHARLIE FLEMING—he’s the offensive part of the team, having scored over 150 points. Charlie doesn’t have any special shot but is quite adept in all types of shots. The ambidextrous star completes his third year on the varsity this year JOHN RICHARDS—he’'s the tallest member of the squad. Johnny is invaluable under the basket and on rebounds. His new one hand, western style push shot has thrilled spectators all season. This is Johnny's second year on the team. HENRY PEACOCK—he’'s one of the most effective set shots on the squad. “Hank” is capable on defense, also, often holding his man scoreless. This is Henry's second year on the varsity. CURTIS CLAYTON—although he didn’t start any games, “Buck’’ was one of the most outstanding ball players on the squad. The team felt a definite loss when “Buck” graduated in February and when two days later he entered the Army. RUSSELL BORJES—better known as “Nut” or “Squirrel” has served as captain of the team this year. Quick as lightning and a good shot, Nut has been a big help with his alert playing. SOULE ie BASEBALL Wilson’s baseball team this year is the strongest since 1935. They have power at the plate, flawless fielding, and a strong pitching staff. Their new metor, Coach Phess Woodson, was a real ball player himself, having pitched and played left field. He greeted this year eight veterans and some choice community leaguers of the past year. Returning lettermen in the infield were Burnley Miller and Captain Beachy Johnson. Miller, last year’s leading hitter is a talented third baseman of Red Rolfe caliber. Captain Johnson, the midget of the team, 1s known for his flawless field- ing, and his superb leadership. Returning outfielders are William Hubbard, Freddy Manley, and Charlie “Red”’ Fleming. Hubbard, playing his third year in the outer garden, is a dependable out- fielder and a good hitter in the clutches. Manley is one of the best fly chasers ever seen, a great team man, and a long ball clouter. Charlie Fleming, who does the clean-up job at bat, is an outstanding player in every phase of the sport. He is one of the few players ‘who made varsity as a freshman, and has played consistently well for four years. The pitching staff, paced by the strike-out whiz, Lennie Luke, is capable of hold- ing down any opposition. Luke, who holds the strike out record of the league, 1s the only high school pitcher to beat Maury i in the last eight years. He is backed up by Lefty Robertson and Jack James, both fine pitchers. Behind the plate is Richard “Bullet” Alexander, a hustling catcher and strong hitter. Newcomers to the team include Tink Cornwell at shortstop, Weston Klise and Billy Fore at first base, Robert White and “Feetsy” Collins in the outfield, Hugh Claywell and Billy Armstrong at catcher, and Carlton Gill who is out for pitcher. ‘BBSRRRRR AERO ore onan) ‘ 3 Seem 23 “e ae sccdoceninsesniee TRACK Despite the lack of good track material, Coach “Dick” Esleeck has developed several outstanding trackmen such as Rhae Adams, Jack Mounie, John Richards, Bobby Payne, Howard Borum, Burrell Johnson, Eldred Lawrence, and Baxter Wilson. Rhae Adams, a well built athlete, is trying his hand at the shot and discus again this year. His top throws are 41 feet, 3 inches and 114 feet, 8 inches, respectively. Jack Mounie and John Richards, who might be called the men on the flying trapeze, are pole vaulting 10 feet and 9 feet and over. Jack also 1s a runner. Howard ‘Sleepy’? Borum, who comes from a long line of Indian spear hunters, is averaging 156 feet with the javelin this year and is expected to do better before the season is over. Burrell Johnson, a fleet footed dash man, is burning up the track in the hundred yard dash and in the 220 yard dash. Baxter Wilson and Eldred Lawrence have been hopping the hurdles in form and style. Bobby Payne has led the scoring in the meets by his fine showing in high and low hurdles and in the dashes. vul Lredit is Gou..

At the first sound of the referee’s whistle the volleyball teams lined up and started hitting the ball back and forth. Each game won meant one step nearer the championship. The excitement and tension grew! At the end of the sea- son, the Gremlins, a senior team, proved tops. This year each girl playing on a champion team received a silver ball designating the sport in which she excelled. This caused more interest and the girls seemed to work harder—each with her eye on one of those small silver objects. Basketball season opened with a bang—even though many of the girls complained of sore knees, and aching backs. The games moved fast and each team seemed to click with clock-like precision. Occasionally a girl would be put out of the game for unnecessary roughness, but this happened only a few times. Whether winning or losing, the girls played good games and the sportsmanship standard was very high. As the season grew to close the Gremlins, a senior team, and the Cadets, a sophomore team, were in the running for the championship. Both were undefeated! Only time could tell the champion! Many amusing team titles appeared this year. They ranged anywhere from Dribblers, Comets and Baskettes, to Gremlins, Atomics and Sharpshooters. Each team worked hard to make its title the outstanding one of the season. Gremlins seemed to be the favored all year. Softball was added this year as a spring sport. Donning either their gym suit, shorts, or dungarees, the girls took their individual positions on the diamond. The team captains chose their players for their ability, careful to get good hitters and catchers. The team work was good! Sometimes it got pretty hot in the sun but the girls yelled a little louder and played a little harder. The good hitters were soon singled out and as they would step up to the plate, the captain would pass the signal to lay back. It is a custom for each team to give a yell for their opponent whether they win or lose. Although it seemed hard to yell for a team that beat you, the girls did it. This is one of the good indications of good sportsmanship which is stressed in intramural sports.
