Because this haunting refrain lingers on the lips of those who have gone before us, and will become still dearer to those who follow, we proudly choose it this year as the theme of our “President.” DEDICATION... our beloved principal and friend, Mr. 1 J Robert L. Sweeney, whose loyal feelings tor our school found crystallization in the words ot our Alma Mater, and whose personality personifies the lofty spirit of our school — to this sincere leader, we dedicate our 1947 edition of The President.

Wild Woodcraft Mrs. Margaret Clayton Flower gardening A Tribute To Our Alma Mater That morning, May 5, 194G, when we were confronted with the startling news of the fire at Wilson, we were confused by a whirlpool of mixed emotions. At first we could not believe the reports. Then we were curious to see the actual damage. We were amazed at the destruction. We were alarmed at the possibility of not having commencement as scheduled. We even laughed at jokes about having to burn the school down to get us out. Then as the realization of the loss sank in, we grew silently sorrowful as if a very close friend had suddenly become seriously ill. But the real griel did not penetrate into our hearts until a few days later when we went into Wilson to take away our books. What a heartbreaking day that was when we actually saw the ruin. I, for one, was deeply affected by the dark halls, the charred walls, black and blistered, the thick, clinging odor of the smoke, and worst of all, the shattered remains of the wrecked auditorium. “Can this really be you, Wilson?” I thought. “Is this not a terrible nightmare resulting from a newsreel showing a bombed European town ? Are these dreary, dark, quiet corridors the same halls once so bright and cheerful with the sounds of carefree young voices, the shuffling of feet, the banging of locker doors? Is this wreckage you, Wilson? Is it really you?” ■As we walked away from the scorched building, we, who hoped to graduate in June, felt particularly depressed because we knew that we would be forced to say good-bye to the school which had been such an important part of our lives tor nearly tour years. Within a tew days we moved our books and our equipment into the Navy Yard, and here in Barracks A classes began. Soon our studies were progressing as usual. Sports were going Tull swing. Workers on the Annual and Student Staff ' s were buzzing around trying to make up tor lost time. Classes held elections, and the music department had its spring testival. Gradually we realized that we had not said goodbye to Wilson after all. Before we knew it, the spirit of Woodrow Wilson High School was right with us here in Barracks A. W e now understand that Wilson High isn’t only bricks and wood and steel and stone. Fire has damaged these things, but nothing can deface the loyal comradeship, the traditions, the ideals which really mean Wilson. True we now eat “chow” in the “mess hall” instead of lunch in the cafeteria. We walk on the “deck,” instead of the floor. But we still belong to Wilson High School. We were close to the truth when we wondered, “Is this really you, Wilson?” No, the pitifully multilated building was not really Wilson High School. The real Wilson High School came to the Navy Yard with us. “Wilson High is us!” W e seniors did not say good-bye to her now. For just as our Alma Mater followed us when we temporarily abandoned her home, she will stay with us now as we receive our graduation diplomas. Indeed, we each take part of her with us as we embark upon our individual lives. No matter what changes are made with the reparation, she is a part of us, we a part of her. Knowing this we must try to add only more splendour to her already glorious fame. As we each show our contributions to life and humanity, we must all be a credit to her. We must remember not only the material knowledge but also the other things we learned at Wilson — those things not printed in text books — honesty, self-control, perservance, loyalty, and all the high qualities Wilson encourages in us. We are truly grateful for all Wilson has taught us, for the friendship she has given us. In return we pledge, in the words of our school song: “Honor, faith, and deep devotion, Wilson High, to you.” Rosalie Schlitz — 194G. jfcbruarp Class February Class Officers Raymond Turner Mary Anne Lewis Malcolm Burnell Audrey Le Doyen Jane Tew Miss Eleanor Dashiell President Vice-President Boys ' Treasurer Girls’ Treasurer Representative to Student Council Adviser FEBRUARY CLASS SONG Tune: “Some Sunday Morning” Dear Wilson High School, It’s time to say goodbye; Seems we just came here, O how time did fly; But in our memory. We’ll cherish thee still, A place in our hearts you’ll fill. We’ll ne’er forget our teachers The friends that we’ve made here We’ll always think of the good times With those who to us are now dear. Dear Wilson High School From thee we now go To try to be an honor To you who’ve helped us so To answer life’s call We’re now leaving you Farewell to the Orange and Blue.

June Class Officers Jim Oast Leo Walsh Mary Evelyn Barham. , Harold Kelly Darrell Calloway Miss Eleanor Dashiell President Vice-President Girls ' Secretary-Treasurer Boys ' Secretary-Treasurer Representative to Student Council Adviser Senior Class History By Jane Waters The kickoff was scheduled for September 8, 1943, and went off on time. We found our little tan cards more valuable than any pigskin, for they carried a list of our “plays” for the com- ing semester. After the first few days of scrimmage, we found our tickets to seats in the auditorium worthless and settled down to studying. Jane King was elected captain of our squad, approximately 200 strong, and the backfield was com- posed of Betty Cox, Vice-President; Jackie Lou Hancock, Secretary and Treasurer; and George Lewis, Representative to the Student Council. Our first coach was Mrs. Louise Fon- taine. By the time our activity books were autographed, the football season had begun. Of course we all remember No- vember 13, 1943 when our Wilson team defeated Granby 6-0. Wartime conditions made our freshman days difficult but somewhat exciting. Blackouts were the cause of many an unwritten assignment and everyone remembers the air raid drills at school. The Coali- tion election was a little over our heads but nevertheless we enjoyed it immensely. Some- how we struggled through our first year and on June 15 earned the right to call our- selves Sophomores. II The second quarter started with a bang — or rather a blow, for we found ourselves hurricane struck after only several days at school. It was soon decided that Charlie Fleming would carry tbe ball for us this year with able assistance from Randolph Smith- wick, Vice-President; and Mary Evelyn Barham, Secretary and Treasurer. During ’44- ’45, Miss Sallie Macon Porter was our backfield coach. Now, as sophomores, we chose our extra curricular activities. Cub reporter on The Student seemed glamourous enough to snare Martha Rose Robbins, Eli Chovitz, Mary Anne Woodhouse, Garland Hale, and Mindy Chovitz. Elbert Epperson, Nancy Lee Reed, Wallace Smith, and h ' ae Wilson found the business staff more to their liking. Shirley Morgan and Eldred Lawrence found a place in the band; Jane Storey, Audrey Doxey, and Albert Murden joined the school choir. The score at the half was in our favor. We had triumphed over Caesar, Alegebra, the Renaissance and how to get a seat on a 3:20 bus. III September, 1945, meant school and school meant schedule mix-ups, second hand books, and locker keys. We were now efficient Juniors and quite capable of taking care of ourselves — that is, with the excep- tion of remembering to bring our lunch three out of five days a week. Miss Shirley Burnside was chosen adviser and Leo Walsh, as president, captained our team. Billy B. MacDonald was our Vice-President with Betty Lee James, Girls’ Secretary and Treasurer and Dick Jones, Secretary and Treasurer for the boys. Wilson Willie came our way with the compliments of a hard working Activity Board, also came unforgetable dances in the gym after football games. Parents’ Night gave our Mothers and Dads an idea of our school life and gave us many a laugh. The Dramatic Club gave the school “Double Date” with five juniors in the cast; the Farmers’ Dance gave everyone a chance to pull out his jeans and straw hats; chapel gave all who attended a wonderful start on Wednesdays; and T. T. Vinson gave Pat Newsom her first orchid for Easter. The fire in May gave us a few days of unscheduled freedom and then — Barracks A! The excitement was reminiscent of freshmen days when we became lost and con- fused once more. Soggy, smoky books were dried and once more put to use. What a time we had decorating the Naval Hospital Auditorium for the Junior-Senior and didn’t the place look beautiful that night! All the stars in the sky helped us carry through our Stardust theme. Just about time for the third quarter whistle, and we realizeci how much we were going to miss our schoolmates who were graduating. All good things must come to an end, and so did our third quarter — our junior year. IV September, ’4G found us still at Barracks A and ready for anything. The football season hit with a bang! Even though the cham- pionship landed across the river again, we enjoyed our fling at it. Before we knew it, fall was over and we were making our Christmas lists. Although far from white, it was a wonderful Christmas, especially since our class rings came so soon afterwards. Then came — oh, yes, exams! How could we forget! After that, graduation and good byes for our friends, the 4B’s. Next came Easter an’ Baby Day an’ calling cards an’ caps and gowns an’ then — June 13th. Yes, we, the class of ’47, who graduated on h ' riday the thirteenth and dared any black cat cross our path, have only memories now. Memories of landing boats and rainy days at the Barracks; of pep meetings on the Court House steps and bonfires at the Buck Childs’ Field. Sad memories of the Petersburg game; of those maroon velvet curtains that used to be in the auditorium. Gay memories of basketball games, of cokes at Murden’s; of hot dogs at Duke’s; of Tommy and “Jonesy”; of the rain at the Wilson-John Marshall football game. Memories of Mildred Smith’s poems and Jane King’s music; of Baby Day and the day we came back to the old Wilson. The game is over now, and we find ourselves surrounded by the mobs who are congratulating us on our victory. We can even hear the band striking up the Victory March, and this time we march off the field proudly, for we carry the award that signifies achievement. It was a great game — all four quarters of it. Sometimes we missed our blocks and for- got to follow our coaches’ instructions, but we had a good fight, some fine cheering from our rooters, and good leadership. It’s the sort of memory we want to carry with us as we leave, for “When the Great Recorder comes. To write against your name. It matters not whether you won or lost, But how you played the game.” JUNE CLASS SONG Words by Joyce P ' urman “TO EACH HIS OWN” A school that we’ve loved While at work or at play Wh ere we’ve spent the best days of our lives, We’ll miss you so, We hate to go, But the day arrives. It’s hard to believe ,That four years have slipped away While we tried to learn the things we should, We all agree And say that we Did the best we could. To our teachers and friends Good wishes we send Our journey on life’s road must start, We’ll never forget Schoolmates that we’ve met Farewell, friends, it’s time to part. The halls that we’ve trod Will live in memory, Wilson High School dreams will never end Our Orange and Blue W e’re proud of you Hope we’ll meet again.

Miss Eleanor Dashiell Adviser to both Senior Classes The Class Prophecy This is Station WSAPFM, Portsmouth, Virginia. For the next half hour we have a special program planned. We are happy to have with us Mr. Bill Sanders, one of our country’s most outstanding radio announcers. Bill, we’ll let you take it from here. Bill: Good morning, radio audience. Today, after ten years, the Wilson graduating class of ’47 will hold a class reunion. Being a member of that class, I am very happy to be here to announce this event. We have an extensive pro- gram outlined which I am sure every member of our class will thoroughly enjoy. Mayor Raymond Turner will preside over the program. Raymond: Good morning, citizens of Portsmouth, and all you alumni who are gathered here in the studio this morning to celebrate our reunion. The pro- gram which follows was planned tor us by James Oast, distinguished columnist on the New York Sun and Dr. Bradford Schwartz. First, led by Miss Audrey Le Doyen, and accompanied by Miss Jane King, local teachers of music, we shall sing our beloved “Alma Mater.” Next on the list we have speeches by Mary Anne Woodhouse, author of the latest seller, “Salute to the Sun,” and banker Leo Walsh. Eli Chovitz will then play a violin solo for us, followed by a “Cocktail” tap dance by Elizabeth Lane and Arlie Mae Crowl, who have recently opened up a dance studio in South Bend, Indiana. Then we’ll have Peggy Cutherell read some of her latest poetry. That will about wind up the radio program. After that, we’ll make a tour through the new Wilson High School. Several of the members of our class are now teaching there. Edith Duma is teaching Latin, Kitty Pettus teaches English, and Phyllis Woodyard teaches swimming in the new gym, where a modern swimming pool has been installed. Luncheon will then be served at the Portsmouth Hotel, now under the management of Harold Kelly. After that, we’ll split up into two parties. One group will go to the base- ball game to see Granby and Wilson fight it out for the state title. By the way, Ered Manley is now coaching the Wilson team, with A1 Kilpatrick assisting. The other group will go to different sections of town to look up some of our members who did not come today. Now — on with the show! (One half hour later) This is Station WSAPFM, Portsmouth, Virginia. For further details about this class reunion tune in this evening at 7:00 P. M. (7 :00 p. m.) Station WSAPFM, Portsmouth. At this time, instead of bringing you their regular musical program, our sponsors, Sammy Weaver’s Hair Tonic Company and Wallace Smith’s Barbecue, are happy to broadcast further the reunion of the Wilson Class of ’47. Professor Alvin Gordon of UCLA will conduct the program. Alvin: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I must say that this has been one of the most enjoyable days of my life, and I’m sure it was so for all the rest of my fellow classmates. Since we were last on the air, several more of our members have arrived in Portsmouth. I see Yonnie Enrico in the audience; he’s over there in the corner doodling. Right here on the front row I see Betty Cox, who is now dean of girls at St. Mary’s College. Sitting beside her is Jane Waters who is stage-directing the Jamestown Pageant at the present time. And there’s The Class Prophecy — Continued Sally Jernigan, a comic strip writer, and Burnley Miller, who, as you all know, plays professional baseball with the Boston Red Sox. There’s another athlete here — Wilton Robertson, who now holds many titles as a champion boxer. Now to tell you a little of what we did this afternoon. I went with the second group to Ollie Vee’s modern beauty salon on High Street. Nell Dickens and Evelyn Jones, now happy housewives, were having their hair fixed there. Next we went to see Ann Barringer, Kresge Store Manager, and then Elease Howell, chief opera- tor at the telephone company. After that we all went out to see Peggy Hoover at her Persian Cat Earm. When we got back, we had a delicious meal at the new Swank Restaurant, owned and managed by Dick Jones. Coach Manley dined in a very happy mood, since Wilson downed Granby this afternoon by two runs. Then we all scurried down here to the studio in order to be on time for the program. I have here a number of telegrams from various class members who were not able to come today. Ell open them now and tell you about each one. (R — i-i-ippl!) That was Dorothy Elowers, sound effects woman for WSx‘ P. Well, here’s a telegram from Mindy Chovitz, foreign news correspondent. She’s now in Switzer- land. Joan Todd, our ambassador to Erance, sends her greetings to all aad ex- presses her sincere wishes to be here. Eaye Wilson, Metropolitan Opera singer, was unable to come since she’s singing the leading role in “Carmen” tonight. Remember Yetta Cohen.? She’s engaged in making her latest picture, “W’here Beauty Reigns.” Joyce Furman and Joyce King, Powers’ models, are both in Paris modeling gowns designed by one of the world’s foremost dress designers, Catherine Stevens. George Ritzel and Glenyce Miffieton are co-starring in the Broadway play, “Strictly Formal.” Well, surprise of surprises! Irvin Klavan is now a singer on Fred Warings’ radio program. Jessie Thomas is teaching psychology at W ' illiam and Mary College. Here are a couple of telegrams from outstanding students who we all know would become great. John Bergeron is a foreign correspondent in Spain, and Betty Calhoon has just won the Nobel Peace Prize for Chemistry. Mabel W’ong is doing a fine job in engineering and Edith Farfel owns a little dress shop down in Florida. Nell Jones is still writing novels, I see from the telegram. Last, but certainly not least, I have a telegram from Betty Lee James, who was President of the Student Body at the time we were seniors. She is, at the time, appearing before a group of the country’s leading businessmen who have chosen her as “Miss Personality Plus.” It has been a real pleasure to see so many of you again after ten years of separa- tion. Here’s to the class of ’47 and to more of these reunions! Junior Class Klise Harrell Borum Smith Junior Class Officers Weston Klise Sue Smith Jackie Harreli Howard Borum Eleanor Bradford. .

One of the meetings gave emphasis to the mathematics of navigation as a timely theme for the Naval Ship Yard set-up under which Woodrow Wilson High School was functioning at the time. The December meeting featured the “X” in Xmas and presented mathematical contests, poems, and songs conveying the Yuletide Spirit.

The Wilson Senior Hi-Y is an organization endeavoring to bring a varied pro- gram of service projects and social functions to our members and the surrounding community in such a way as to set forth the ideals for which we stand. So far this year we have been fortunate in securing prominent persons to speak on the four planks of the Hi-Y platform which are, “Clean Sports, Clean Speech, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Living.” In addition we have sponsored many social activities, the most popular being the Annual Farmers’ Day Dance. We, the graduating members of the Wilson Hi-Y, in closing, would like to wish the fellows succeeding us the very best luck in carrying on the high standards of our swell club.

Discarded toys were repaired and gaily wrapped for the boys, and the members really pitched in and helped on this long-term project. . ' s a short-term project, small entertainments, including a Halloween party, and social calls, for the “Old Ladies’ Home” in Park ’iew were held. .

Rarely is there a school assembly period for which the Band is not asked to play. The Band marches and plays for all football games and accompanies the team on all trips, except over-night trips, as guests of the Athletic Association. The 1946 sea.son will long be remembered as an outstanding one in playing, not only for all the Wilson football games but for the Peanut Bowl in Suffolk as guests of the Suffolk High School, the Kid Bowl for the City Recreation Department, and the first annual Oyster Bowl in Norfolk as one of the ' Aight bands invited to participate in this great event. The concert .season of the Band has been almost as active as the football season. The session of 1946 records such occasions as the annual assembly program, annual concert at the Churchland High School, playing for commencement exercises for both the February and June graduation classes. Dis- trict Music Festival in Norfolk, State Music Festival in Richmond, and annual Spring Festival of Music at Wilson. Having won the interest of our Director of Music, Mr. Lancaster, our Principal, Mr. Sweeney, and our .Assistant Principal, Mr. Mapp, the Band now has equipment valued at $4,780. Of this amount the School Board, under the leadership of our Superintendent, Mr. Hunt, has contributed around $1,600. The citizens of the town with Mr. T. Willett and Mr. H. M. Rapoport as leaders gave uniforms amounting to $2,189. The last thousand dollars of the total amount came through the efforts of Mr. Mapp who, claiming the Band as one of his “pet hobbies,” directed the attention of the Navy Yard Cooperative .As.sociation to the needs of the Wilson Band, and that organization very generously donated $1,000 in the fall of 1946. With the continued efforts of the Band to maintain its high quality of performance, it is believed that further donations by interested parties will soon equip the Band to an extent that will make it the equal of any band in any state.

' NV. i.9 - ■SA ' ' ' ' FV roNN e ' ' o vl FOOTBALL Woodrow NN ' ilson’s hoghide specialists — our own Presidents — bolstered by several returning lettermen, loomed as another potential power-house in pre-season scrimmages. Captained by Burnie Miller who, with Howard Borum and Bill Farris, formed the nucleus of a flashy backfield, our grid stalwarts appeared to be headed for another slam-bang and (we hoped) undefeated .season. With such bruisers in the line as Leo .Antonucci and Bill McDonald, to say nothing of a number of new recruits led by Ronald Beaubein, Dave Pond, and Lin Parker, how could we miss? The answer was — we couldn’t. Or at least we hoped we couldn’t. HOLY TRINITY— SEPTEMBER 27 Denied an earlier tune-up contest with a reportedly strong Washington, N. C., outfit by threaten- ing weather, our Presidents officially unwrapped their 1946 gridiron parcel against a valiant, but hopele.ssly outclassed. Holy Trinity eleven on our home grounds Friday night, September 27. Scoring practically at will, the Prexie pigskin carriers literally brushed aside Trinidad tacklers like bothersome flies in piling up the highest score anv Wilson team had ever made against anv opponent —79-0. Playing his first-stringers only about half of the game, Coach Esleeck inserted every man on the Wilson bench into the battle at one time or another. .And, needless to say, the boys from Holy Trinity would have been paraded over to the tune of perhaps 90 or 100 to nothing had he allowed his first eleven to roam the striped field for the entirety of the contest. DEVITT PREP.— OCTOBER 4 Fresh from their romp over the hopele.ss Trinidads, our Wilson gridders, sporting brand new shirt jerseys and blue pants, took the striped field against a much heavier and more experienced eleven from Devitt Preparatory School in Washington, D. C. Entering as slight underdogs, they emerged with a decisive 26-6 victory. Spearheaded by ever dependable Ho ward Borum, our boys evidently forgot that Devitt was sup- posed to win and tore holes in their opponents’ line big enough to drive a tank through. The lumbering giants from up Washington way never recovered from the crushing blow administered them in the first 12 minutes of play when our boys trampled the goal line three times to forge themselves a 20-0 lead. Bewildered and confused by this sudden and unexpected Prexie splurge, the cumbersome visitors just couldn’t seem to catch the fleet Wilson backs. JOHN MARSHALL— OCTOBER 12 In their initial road trip of the young .season, our Powerhou.se Presidents declared a state of gridiron war with John Marshall of Richmond beginning and ending on October 12. Having yielded a 40-0 verdict to our Prexies, the Marshallites left the mudd ' field a battered and beaten team and our boys returned proudly to Portsmouth with another decisive victory tucked away among their grid souvenirs. .Again Howard Borum was a star. He plowed through the Justice line like water through straw. (Of the six touchdowns scored by our lads, Howard personally accounted for four, while he passed to Eddie Tanner for one more and aided materially in the sixth. Sub back Cotton (Race Hor.se) Gallop brought our supporters to their feet with a couple of sensational runs during the course of the game. FOOTBALL —Continued ARLINGTON— 0CT0BP:R 19 Sailing into Arlington on October 19 in high spirits to take on the heavier General eleven, the Prexies eked out a thrilling 19-12 victory over the huskies from Washington-Lee. Highlighted by the defensive play of Howard Borum and the couple of long jaunts, one for a touchdown, by Bee Bee Farris, the boys carrying the Orange and Blue overcame a 7-6 lead held at the half by .Arlington and marched down the field to tie and over come the Little Generals in a thrilling last quarter scoring spree, which saw Borum lug the leather over the pay-off stripe for the final and deciding tally. Our long tall Billy O’Brien, center, akso contributed a touchdown to the point making department intercepting an enemy pass on our 48 and racing the length of the field to go over standing up. PETERSBURG— OCTOBER 25 Minus one first-stringer and eight reserves who were released for infraction of training rules, the boys we proudly hailed as “our team” took the field against a lighter but more experienced .squad from Petersburg on Saturday, October 26 at our own stamping grounds and took disheartening 9-0 defeat. Petersburg, rebounding from two consecutive defeats at the hands of Tidewater teams, evidently was determined to take home a victory at all costs. The Crimson Wave capitalized on a fumble by Howard Borum soon after the kickoff, tackling him behind his own goal and taking a 2-0 lead. Our boys j ' st couldn’t seem to get rolling. One Prexie drive was cut short when a Crimson clad back intercepted a pass. .Another dangerous threat was stopped by the half-time whistle. When our band paraded out on the field during the half the score read Petersburg 9, Wilson 0. The visitors had registered what proved to be their final 7 points late in the first quarter on a touchdown and a conver- sion. Looking good in defeat were Center Billy O’Brien and blocking back Dick .Alexander. MAURY— NOVEMBER 1 Crossing the river to battle the Blue and Gold Commodores Friday night, November 1, Esleeck’s Grid Gladiators, underdogs by virtue of their Petersburg defeat and Maury’s two touchdown victory over the Crimson Wave, left no stone unturned and no play untied in an effort to stop the Commodores’ winning streak. The final score, 14-12, offers a clear picture of the bruising battle our d etermined Presidents gave their annual foes. Playing his usual standout contest. Bee Bee (for Bruisin’ Billy) Farris, flashy back, scored both of our touchdowns on 95 and 30 yard runs, respectively. With Maury leading 6-0, Farris gathered in the Commodore kick-off on his own five, tucked the leather under his arm, and proceeded to reel off a brilliant 95 yards of sidestepping, bulling, twisting and turning which resulted in the Orange-Blue first touchdown of the day. The attempt for the charity point went wild and the score remained 6-6. With the count still knotted at 12 all, our boys found themselves in possession of the pigskin dan- gerously near their own goal line with only a few minutes left to play. Choosing to pass, Farris dropped back into the end zone and looped an aerial intended for Howard Borum who, evidently, was a demon- mad bull carrier all right as he turned in one of the best games of his career, the pass dropped in coffin corner short of the target for an automatic safety. Those two markers gave Maury a 14-12 victory. Burnie Miller played a bang-up ball game all the way as did Leo .Antonucci in the line and Billy O’Brien center. Dick .Alexander, blocking back, also displayed a fine form. HAMPTON— NOVEMBER 9 Hampton’s Crabbers, drifted into town Saturday afternoon, November 9, looking for a com- paratively easy victory only to run into a granite wall with a unmistakable Orange and Blue tint. .As it was, Suey Eason’s protegees were lucky to hold the aroused Prexies to a 13-13 deadlock. The Prexies broke ice midway the second period on a series of power thrusts engineered by Farris, Miller, Borum. The tally registered by Farris equalled the Easonites’ first quarter score, thus knot- ting the count until the final stanza when both combines managed to push over touchdowns producing a 13-13 tie which remained unbroken as the final whistle sounded. Howard Borum scored the final Prexie six pointer. Eddie Tanner performed par excellence all the way along with Billy Neer at guard, center O’Brien and blocking back Alexander. GR.ANBY— NOVEMBER 16 Plagued by injuries, our Prexies played an undefeated Granby Blue Comet eleven to a virtual stalemate. The Comets were fortunate to eke out their skin-of-the-teeth 7-0 win over the aroused Presidents. Granby’s renowned Barney Gill may as well have sat that one out for he gained exactly 0 through the determined, hard-charging Wilson line. Unable to gain on the ground, the visitors took to the air ways and in the second quarter registered the only touchdown of the game an aerial from Chuck Stobbs to glue-fingered Dick Ivanhoe. Howard Borum made a desperate attempt to break up the play on Wilson’s two yardline, but was unsu ccessful. Thereafter, W ' ilson, twice defeated and once tied, became a stone wall as far as Comet ball carriers were concerned. Leo “The Lion” .Antonucci and slashing Billy Neer were potent weapons in stopping the famed Comet power-thrusts. Our Presidents were simply determined to make the powerful Granby boys prove their superiority. The dogged tenacity, and the raw nerve, which enabled our Prexies to stop the attack of the Blue Comets is comparable with the greatest team spirit ever shown anywhere. Even in their best conditions and with their first string playing all the way, Granby could only cross our goal line once. Had our squad been in tip-top condition, it might have been a different story, but .... NEWPORT NEWS— NOVEMBER 24 Concluding their season with the annual Turkey Day tiff at Newport News, the Presidents from “dear old Wilson” scalped the hapless Builders by a 46-12 score. Burnley Miller, in his last game for his .Alma Mater, broke down the field practically alone for the Prexies’ initial tally. Thereafter, Howard Borum took personal charge of affairs and galloped all over the Builders’ bulwarks, his spree culminat- ing in three successive touchdowns. Not content with having himself scored enough points to defeat the Peninsula lads, Borum rifled a sharp pass down the field and hit Eddie Tanner in the clear for a perfect strike. Big Ed, who was to be chosen on the mythical .All-Foreman Field, .All-Tidewater, and All-State squads, then exhibited one of the main reasons why he was selected . . . that is his “(lolden Toe.” He booted one of his quartet of charity points to put the Prexies ahead 33-12. Later, subs “Whip” Pendergraft and Potsy Klise legged the leather over and Tanner hit the uprights again to make the final score 46-12 and enabling the “Fighting Presidents” to end its season on a note of triumph. BURNLEY MILLER All State, flonorahlc Mention; All Tidewater, Honorable Mention; All Foreman Field, Honorable Mention. Our captain and fullback came to Wilson from Churchland High, where he was a star in football and baseball. “Burnie“ was the fifth man in Coach Esleeck’s star-studied backfield of last year, and this year he took over the fullback post left vacant by the graduation of Jack Mounie. “ ' Burnie (Atomic Bomb) Miller burnt a brilliant path across the state ' s high school gridirons this past football season and will probably go on to college to continue his education and athletic career. Burnie stands 6 feet and weighs an even 20 c pounds. He is a tower of strength on defense as well as on offense. “Burnie” was a quick-thinker and this fine quality helped him greatly in the pinches. BILLY “HOWDING” FARRIS All-State, Honorable Mention: All-Tidewater, Second Team; All-Foreman Field, Second Team. A very likeable young Prentis Parker xho came up from the Community League where he was unanime us choice for the All-City Team. Billy has starred on (Joach Eslecck’s hard-fighting Wilson elevens for two years. As a blocking back Billy was described by many as being excellent, but this year he has made the people remember his brilliant running and his clever elusion of tacklers. HOWARD “SLEEPY” BORUM All-State. First Team: All-Tidewater, First Team; All-Foreman Field. Honorable Mention. “Sleepy” has just completed his third year on the Wilson Varsity team, and has been remarkably successful. This season Howard has been the President ' s leading scorer and ground gainer. Aside from his brilliant running. Howard has been the Prexies ' leading passer. “Sleepy” has already had “feelers” from many colleges and will un- doubtedly go on to great fame with his outstanding playing. RICHARD “BULLET” ALEXANDER 1 larry Brownley Award as “Most Valuable Player.” A small, scrappy Newtow ' ncr with plenty of fight. J ' hat is the way to describe “Bul- let ” “Bullet is our blocking back and this year received the Harry Brownley Award as the outstanding President pigskinner for this season. Besides football, Bullet” has earned his letter in baseball and has been a varsity baskclballer for the past tw i seasons. “Bullet.” the blue-eyed, blonde haired wonder, will be back next season and he should be better than ever. COTTON “RACEHORSE” (JALLOP A war veteran. Billy has returned to his old school after spending his last two years of .schooling at Virginia Episc(ipal School where he w ' as all-state in ba.skctball This season. Cotton ' s first attempt at football, he has thrilled the fans many times with his unorthodox style of running and his amazing speed. Cotton received his nickname “Racehorse” after the Holy Trinity game in which he made many electrifying long runs. Though Cotton will not be back next year, he w’ill not be forgotten very soon by ardent Wilson followers. WESTON “POTSY” KLISE ■Potsy. a junior, will be back in Wilson togs next season He came to the Wilson Varsity from the Port Norfolk Community League where he was All-City fullback and one of the most popular boys in the league Already holding a football and base- ball letter, he is now out to earn a basektball monogram Next season should find ■ potsy as a starter in the Prexie backfield, since he is fast, shifty, and very wise in the ways of the gridirons. BURRELL “PLASH” JOHNSON Burrell is another Community leaguer, with speed, nerve, and a good head on his .shoulders. Burrell was an All-City selection and a very popular young lad while playing with the Prentis Park Ramblers He was a very popular member of this year s Wilson team and has the distinction of having scored a touchdown on the first play of his high schixrl career. A speedster. Burrell holds a track letter along with football mono- gram Burrell is a junior, and he will he hack for another season BILLY “BULLDOG” O’BRIEN All-Tidewater, Honorable Mention. Bulldog was the name given to O ' Brien this year because he is Just that much of a threat. Bill is our b foot, 4 inches and 175 pounds of fight at center. He is famous for his powerful line hacking as well as his ability to get up in the air and intercept the opposing teams ' passes. (Jn one occasion in the hard fought Arlington game. Bill intercepted a pass, twisted and turned his way down the field 65 yards to pay dirt. Not only a terror on the gridiron, he is also a specialist on the hardwood and cinder paths EDDIE YARBROUGH All-Tidewater, Honorable Mention. Eddie is probably the best kicker that has come out of Swimming Point in many years, and earned his letter in ’41 Eddie did practically all the punting for the Presi- dents this year. FRED MANLEY A veteran end. who played his last season for Wilson in ‘46, started out In the Com- munity League. Football isn ' t the only sport in which Fred is a handy man. He also earned three letters in baseball, and excels in both sports. EDDIE TANNER Ail-State, First Team; All-Tidewater, First Team; All-Foreman Field, First Team. Eddie, a lanky Park View lad. is playing his second successful year of football. He is ot only outstanding at his end position, but he is an expert at kicking extra points. Eddie is known as one of the best pass receivers in the state. JACK McLEAN Jack, a Newtowner, who earned his letter the past season, is a dependable player. Although he didn t play much in conference competition, he showed up as a dangerous man to the opposing team when he did go into the game. I.AWRENCE “RED” STRICKLAND “Red” is a lineman who has been moved all up and down that line. Generally classi- fied as a guard, he has still had a stab at the center and end posts. “Strick” has been a hard worker, and has a good heaePfor football. His fine sense of sportsmanship and good team spirit have won him the admiration of players and coaches alike. HINES “CAT CLAW” CREECY Here is a boy that has already proved himself “tops.” Any time an opposing back starts through the center of the line and is stopped cold, you know Creecy has hit him. Playing his second year at guard for Wilson, and with two more years to go, Creecy is rated one of the best guards in high school competition. DAVID “GLAMOR BOY” POND All-Tidewater, Second Team; All-Foreman Field, Second Team. David, the Van Johnson of the team, is anything but a lover, when it comes to the gridiron. Having transferred from Churchland, where he was a backfield star, Pond was shifted to the line, where he became a power-house this year. Though constantly plagued by injuries, he still was an ever reliable guard who stoexi out on the defense and offense both. His consistently alert playing was a big factor throughout the season. RONALD “LOVER” BEAUBEIN Beaubein is another service veteran, standing 5 feet 8 inches and weighing 165 pounds. He is another stalwart at guard. Beaubein played at Cradock before going into the service. He stayed in the opposing teams ' backfield more than their own men. Not only is he one of the best players on the field, but he can run faster than most backs. WILLIAM “MOLE” NEER Neer, a guard up from the Community League, has gained the confidence and admira- tion of both coaches and players. Playing bang-up ball all year, he deserves the re- spect which has been given him. He stands 5 feet 10 inches and tips the scales at 165. Another headache for Wilson foes is the fact that he’s back again next year to strengthen the line. LEO ANTONUCCI All-State, First Team; All-Tidewater, First Team; All-Foreman Field, First Team. Leo hails from Newtown and is a superb linesman who started out for Wilson as a reserve back. Nuccie earned his first letter last year as a tackle. He has gained recognition all over the South as an outstanding linesman. Nuccie is in his third year at high school. BILL McDonald Bill is a returning letterman who lives in Port Norfolk. Bill, a Senior, is a dependable performer in the forward wall, and has been a real power in a solid line. WILLIAM PORTER Bill is a new player in the line who lives in Port Norfolk. Bill played consistently good football through the season. He earned his first letter the past season. WALLACE McCARTY All-Tidewater, Honorable Mention. Wallace or Big Jumbo had his first starting role in Orange and Blue togs last season and did a very creditable job of it. Wally, who lives in Newtown, really gave his opponents a tough time this year. PORTSMOUTH PUBLIC LIBRARY PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA fH(. 3 je 5 WlSCHj ' JoiMf ?

Heedless of the wind and rain, they stuck to their task, “but definitely.” Cheering barefoot and with drenched clothing is no easy job. Among the new yells this year were “Two Bits, Four Bits” and “I ' he Wilson High School Team,” not mentioning the many new formations and revisions of old cheers. ini BASKETBALL SCORES Game Score Wilson. . . . . . vs . . . . . .

Maury Our score first. BASKETBALL Out of an almost unknown aggregation of boys, Coach Phess Woodson has this year fashioned a team that has performed admirably. The Wilson cagers started off this season with a bang; breezing through three class “B” teams in succession. In the first game of the season, Coach Woodson’s cohorts came through with a 57-14 victory over Suffolk. They swamped Morrison 44-24. The Prexies out- classed the Holy Trinity quint 39-22. The Presidents, playing their first game against class “A” competition, fell before the fast moving Alexandria club to the tune of 47-28. The reserves were used a great deal in turning back the Fairfax aggregation 47-17. Thrilling all the way was the victory over the Hampton Crabbers, 27-26. Held to the lowest score of the season, Wilson lost to Petersburg, 17-14, in a purely defensive game. Failing to overtake a lead compiled by the Maury Commodores, the Presidents were shaded 33-30. Another game with a narrow margin was the Wilson victory over Newport News, 31-30. Coming from behind in their game with Benedictine, the Prexies defeated the lads from Rich- mond 26-16. The Norview Pilots proved no match for the mighty Presidents as they fell 48-22. Due to Granby’s superior height, the Orange and Blue quint bowed 32-24, after putting up a valiant fight. Saint Joseph’s Academy played their first game against the Prexies, but couldn’t get started against their stronger opponents, as Wilson won 37-16. The Presidents plowed through the W. M. Freshmen. Again Wilson downed Benedictine 25-24, this time at Richmond. When Norview made second appearance against the Presidents, they were sent home with a 52-25 belting. Alexandria invaded Portsmouth with an impressive 41-36 win. Getting back in the winning column, the Prexies downed Arlington without much trouble by the score of 40-27. Outstanding during the season has been the playing of co-captains “Cotton” Gallop and Eddie Tanner, the follow-up shooting of “Mater” White and Billy O’Brien, and the floor work of A1 Kilpatrick, Lennie Luke, and “Potsy” Klise. Another big attraction at each game has been the performance of the Jayvees, nicknamed the “Diminutive Demons.” Bdd d� 9s a aartce.

BASEBALL The Woodrow Wilson Presidents, handicapped by the lack of experience in the infield, entered the 1947 scholastic race as the “dark horses.” Among returning lettermen were infielder “Potsy” Klise, and outfielders “Peetsie” Hubbard and “Mater” White. Returning the pitching department were Lennie Luke, Jack James, “Lefty” Robertson and Buddy Kincaid. Catchers were “Bullet” Alex- ander and Jimmy Traynham. Among teams played were Maury, Granby, Holy I ' rinity, Norview, Petersburg, and service teams in this community. k oni IftLSON Track Team w ilson High’s track hopes seemed brighter this year than they had since the sport was revived three years ago. With a new coach, Howard Mast, and five returning lettermen the Prexies fielded a very strong team. As before, all meets were held away from home. Returning lettermen were Burrell Johnson, Dash M an; Billy O’Brien, Half Miler; Hines Creecy, Miler; Harry Stein, Relay-team; Howard Borum, an all round track man. Besides these five the Presidents had many newccjmers led by Leon Enrico and James Hay the in the dashes, John Acton, Melvin Rcjbertson, George Pendergralt, Jesse Ricks in the long distance runs. The hurdles were in good hands with Eldred Lawrence, Jack Benzie and Howard Borum showing the way. Coach Mast had a large assortment of boys working in the weight department with Wallace McCarty showing up well in the shot and discus throw. He received a lot ot assistance from Leo Antonucci, Billy O’Brien, and Burrell Johnson. In the pole vault Coach Mast had Erank Madigan, Clyde I ' anner, and Jack McLean. The running broad jump was taken care ot by Kenneth Babb, Jack Benzie, and Billy O’Brien. ' File team participated in the scholastic tourney held in Chapel Hill, N. C. Although they made no great record, they were still quite impressive. ' Fhe Cinder- men were to play all of ' Fidewater’s “big” teams; Maury, Granby, Newport News, Hampton, as well as Norview, Petersburg, Cradock. ' Frack seems to be here to stay, judging by the numlrer ot boys who are interested in it. Girls’ Intramural Sports At the beginning of the year even though the facilities for girls’ intramural sports were handicapped, the girls participated well during the volleyball season. As soon as the clang of the bell for the end ot school was sounded, each girl taking part in volleyball would rush for the gym in order to get the game under way. .As time moved on, and one team after another was defeated, a Junior team, Bom- dardiers, proved to be superior. With an unusual amount of energy and sportsmanship the basketball season opened quickly, with each girl looking forward to her team’s winning the cham- pionship. This year tennis was added to the list of spring sports. The girls were taught to play well and work hard. .Among the other spring sports resumed this year are softball, table tennis and badminton. When the games came to an end in the afternoon the echo of yells for the win- ning team given by the losing team could be heard for some distance. This was only one of the many indications that intramural sports were developing good sportsmanship, a keen competitive spirit, and real playing ability.

In proof of their appreciation of all that Commodore Small had done for the school. Principal Robert L.

Far from being a triumph for the Comets, unbeaten in 29 consecutive games, the hght last Saturday showed the ' Presidents ’ real strength. For the first time in three years the Granby ground attack was completely halted. Wilson’s forward wall stopped the power- packed Comets attack at the start.

The fingertips are a bright yellow, with the palm gradually fading into the white. At last the reason has been brought to lighti Miss Dashiell always uses yellow chalk when she writes on the blackboard. She has explained that she dons this peculiar looking hand-covering to protect ner h nds from the yellow chalk whenever she writes on the board. Students have noted that the once white glove has been replaced by a black one. This Math teacher may have given Who can deny that teachers like pupils are human, and capable of making mistakes or displaying curiosity — When Miss Audrey Vincent’s second period English S class thought it bad a good one on her for saying, “When writing a business letter, take your time, but be in a hurry.” When Mrs. Emma B. White called the roll in her registration she asked one boy, “Where are you registered?” When Miss Emily Dashiell asserts that she is going to track down “Kil- roy” if she has to interview every per- son in school. Bicycles No Match For Motor Scooters Every school morning row after row of motor scooters and bicycles may be seen in the parking lot opposite Barracks A-15. All the scooters are gaily colored. They bear such names as Kilroy, Lightning, Flash, and others. What’s this whizzing past? It’s Dennis English on his scooter Leaping-Lena. The favorite sport of the scooter owner is to come speeding around the corner leading to the parking lor, leaning side- was, so as to almost touch the ground. Many bicycles, old and new, appear each morning. I ' hey have not yet been able to compete with the scooters in decoration and speed. WITH APPRECIATION With abounding appreciation we, the seniors — the class ot 1947, want to extend to Commodore Small and Chief Jones our deep gratitude for their unselfish efforts in not only making it possible tor us to continue our schooling, but in making our stay at Barracks “A” so pleasant. These are memories that will never pass with the years. Nor soon will we forget all the little things that have accompanied the barracks: the P. A. System, the nice water fountains, Norman Scott Center. Yes, to you we owe a great deal, and we salute you as friends that we shall always cherish.
