Vh en we leave high school, we’ll forget many lessons we learned from books, but the one thing we’ll remember through the years is our friendship with students and teachers. . . . Remembering this, we have chosen h ' riendship as the theme of our 1949 edition of The President. “THAT’S WHAT I CALL A FRIEND” - ] - One whose grip is a little tighter. One whose smile is a little brighter. One whose deeds are a little whiter. That’s what I call a friend. - 2 - One who is always willing to aid you. One whose advice has always paid you. One who’s defended when others flayed you, 4 ' hat’s what I call a friend. - .3 - One who’s been fine when life seemed rotten. One whose ideals you have not forgotten. One who has given you more than he’s gotten, 4 ' hat’s what I call a friend.

We will always remember Dear Old Wilson High, And now as the time draws near We hate to say good-bye.

A tutor rerum Consiliator The purpose of the Discipuli Antiquorum (Latin Club) is to study Roman civilization and to promote and extend an interest in the study of Latin in the high school and throughout the community. This year the Latin Club has held a regular meeting on the fourth Friday of each month. At these meetings the programs were exceptionally entertaining and unusual. The two most important projects have been a play for the junior high school entitled “A Day Without Latin” for the purpose of interesting them in Latin, and an assembly program given in the auditorium for all of the students.

It is an aim of the club to present highly valuable information in a way that proves entertaining and to offer topics for which there is no time in regular classroom presentations such as instruction in the use of the slide rule, simple theory with regards to the fourth proportion, and similar topics. ' File club meets monthly, and each meet- ing provides challenging opportunities for those who find interest in delving more thoroughly into the mysteries of mathematics. 2 2 Quill and Scroll Motto; “ Y ' e shall know the truth, and the truth shall make ye free” OFFICERS AND AD ISEKS Barbara Sivn.s Bill Harris Peggy Sykes Clifton Warren Grace Williams Jackie Rogers R.

' fter the girl has been voted on, she is taken into the club, and a very impre.ssive induction .service is held. This club seeks to help each member with such problems as gaining a workable philosophy of life; establishing friendly relations with others; using leisure wisely; developing such traits as tolerance and ability to judge wisely; find a suitable vocation. Education, religion and worship, service, social functions, sports, and ob.servance of special holi- days and seasons of the year are chosen to be talked upon for our programs. These helpful topics are discussed by faculty members or prominent civic leaders. The ultimate aim of this organization is threefold; spirit, mind, and body development.

A freighter was attacked by Russell “Bluebeard” Borjes and his pack of supersonic gun- “toting” river pirates. Some of them were identified as Raymond “The Crutch” Beck, Jack “The Look” Benzie, and Howard “Slap-leather” Cowan. The gang slipped out into the salty night air in their newly “acquired” jet-turbo powered craft, the same type which was recently developed by the famous designing engineer, Robert Cumbia. The ship which was attacked was commanded by Captain George A. Baker. However, previously that night a member of a rival organization, Eugene “Sleepy” Emery, gave the Police a tip on the planned “haul.” Police Chief Carl Richards had the situation well in hand when the attack came. It ended in the capture of the Borjes gang. Members of the police force which played an important role in the capture were: Sergeant Earl Lowman, and officers Tommy Swain, Clifton Savage, and Joe Zoll. Here’s a news item: The climax of a whirlwind campaign that swept the country as it has never been swept before came today as the country hailed its new president, Joseph Wetherbee, who always did want to be a “big wheel.” When asked for a statement. President-elect Wetherbee modestly stated, “Oh, it wasn’t anything, really; I owe it all to my mother.” At the party convention in Green V’alley, U. S. A., he was publicly acclaimed the party’s standard bearer. Since then he has cro.ssed and recrossed the country in his campaign, passing out cigars and kissing babies. Candidate Wetherbee spent election day at his home in Portsmouth, Virginia, trying to learn the art of fencing. He plans to get a complete rest at Warm Mattress Hotel in Georgia before taking up the rigors of office. Annapolis, Maryland — The buildings of the Naval Academy looked down today upon an impressive scene. The day was perfect — a clear, blue sky overhead and a soft June breeze blowing in from the Ocean. Amid strains of “Anchors Aweigh” and with midship- men standing respectfully at attention, the Academy’s oldest and most ardent student stepped up to receive his diploma for which he had so devotedly worked. Midshipman Tyler Brown. Before entering Annapolis, Tyler Brown served a hitch in the Salvation .Army under the command of General Clifton Savage. Said Tyler, “I wanted to do it the hard way.” The various professors were sorry to see him go. Said Miss Adelle Eriedman, Professor of Psychology, “He was so nice; he didn’t snore once during my lectures.” The Science Professor, Miss .Ann Helms, was quoted as saying, “He was such a tall boy, we could always count on him to assemble the larger apparatus.” The head coach, Jimmy Trayn- ham, added, “He got out to the team faster than any other water boy I’ve known.” All the faculty will sadly miss his smiling face. When Midshipman Brown was asked how he felt on this day of days, he replied, “I have enjoyed every minute of my eight years here. The .Army has its points, but the Navy life for me. Hurrah for the Navy!” Bulletin — It was officially revealed today by the renowned scientists’ press agent that Dr. Milton Clemmons and his assistants. Dr. B. McCrickard and Dr. E. Raborg, have de- parted on their pioneering trip to the moon. Just a word of description about the rocket’s construction. It was built in complete secrecy under the guiding hand of Mr. Harry Lee and a group of engineers who were under his supervision. The outer skin is a heat-treated, flush riveted, hot water tank. The inside is padded with pillows which they plan to sell as souvenirs on their return. .All the ccmiforts of home are inside, including raincoats and galoshes in case the weather turns inclement during their stay. Milton’s trip is sponsored as an advertising venture. The Eleetwood Date Service, which has come to such heights under the supervision of Miss Grace Jean Williams, is one of the concerns sponsoring the venture. Mr. James Summers and Miss Barbara Sivils, who have always wanted to travel, are accompanying the scientists on the trip. By means of a spray attachment on the rocket, Dr. Milton will paint letters twenty- five miles high on the moon. The learned Doctor will attempt to secure building permits on the moon for Mr. Hines Creecy, who wants to build a stadium and start a football league there. Another member of the expedition is Captain (Jary Sears of the C. S. Marine Corp, who thought he’d better go along in case a beach-head needed to be established. W e’re all behind them 100%. After all maybe it will help to solve the housing problem here on earth. Shoestring Case Breaks: The Federal Bureau of Investigation disclosed last night that the Blackmarket Shoe- string Ring has been broken up. .After many months of under cover investigation, F. B. I. director Robert “Bring ’em back alive’’ Steen and his super sleuths finally rounded up the gang. The ringleader, .Aubrey Lane, and his two associates, Donald Cohen and “Honest” John Rountree, were apprehended entering a restaurant on Crawford Street. ' I ' he clue which led to the capture of the ring was the discovery of .Aubrey’s trumpet case crammed full of counterfeit shoestrings. .Aubrey broke down and admitted he had been disguising himself as a musician for the past thirty-one years. He would stuff his case full of shoestrings and enter public places as a trumpet player. He would then quickly set up his stand, put out a sign reading, “I am blind,” and peddle his wares to unsuspecting people. His accomplice, “Honest” John, acted as a go-between to keep .Aubrey supplied with his wares. Donald Cohen spent his time running the machinery which put the metal bands around the tips of the laces. Lnder Steen’s “third degree, fifty minutes, ten seconds” Cohen broke down and dis- closed the location of their warehouse, which was an abandoned, run-down school house at 4th .Avenue and High Street in Portsmouth, Virginia. The crooks are being held under -fl0,000 bail. Their case comes up next week. When Police Chief F.mily Peters was asked how she felt upon capturing public enemies numbers 07, 5, and 43, she looked pensive for a moment, and then said gently, “What’s the matter, kid? You crazy or somethin’?” The chief was ably assisted by Officer James Collins who held her coat while she fear- lessly entered the warehouse to capture the criminals. Mr. Collins says that he has never seen anything like it — the way she captured the criminals — not her coat.

Sigyied: Howard Newton Witnesses: Bob Bice 4 ' ommv Swain The Class History Here we are in the Wilson High School auditorium; we’re eagerly waiting for Mr. Padden to start the movie, for they tell us it has special significance for us. Here we go — the title appears, “The Best Years of Your Lives” — sounds a little familiar, doesn’t it? Who’s that funny little b jy we see — it can’t be, but I guess it is l.eroy Hartung — was he ever that tiny? A rati! No, an 8B, the first of the group. We look woefully lost, but we are having fun. Just look at the girls’ skirts! Can you actually remember their being so short? It’s still 1945 on that movie screen, and we see the flag of the school flying at half-mast. Yes, it’s a solemn occasion that many of us feel keenly, for our President Roosevelt has passed away. A whole year has elapsed on that reel, and we see a very strange and heart-rending sight. Remember all the jokes we used to crack about setting the school on fire? That awful looking view can’t be the old chemistry lab! 4 ' his new scenery is a far cry from the old school house, but it certainly has become familiar to us. That old bell out in front of the building recalls some memorable occasions. Isn’t that “Jonesey” getting out of the pick-up truck? He was a swell person, wasn’t he? Plop! goes the bench, and there sits Speedy Kirk on the floor. See how round shouldered we were getting from six periods at those chow tables? We’re home again now! Those desks are so shiny that you can see your face in them. Gee, but it’s great to be back! Bill Stern ought to be here to comment on these next pictures. Wasn’t that a glorious football season? Remember that Hampton game? There goes one of our rooters on the field to kiss Billy Farris for kicking that extra point. And do you see those pretty new white sweaters all the team is wearing? They’re the symbol of our first state champion- ship in 20 years. It’s spring again, and we’re out at the stadium cheering for our sluggers as they, also, follow suit and annex a state title. Now we’re all dressed up, and we feel so proud of ourselves, for it’s our first Junior- Senior. Doesn’t Charlotte Wright look lovely? We feel thrilled at the sight of the color- ful decorations which were arranged by our own class members along with Miss Polly Arthurs. Now it’s September again — can you believe that we’re really buying a Literature and Life, Book Four? See Ralph Cowan and Jean Keesee coming down the hall? They’re the presidents of our two classes. There’s “Tut” Swain struggling through a Trig problem, and here comes Bobby Green hustling off to a Student Council meeting. Who are those lovely belles in dresses from an earlier century? Why surely, they’re Barbara Post and Connie Hawks, who starred so beautifully in Pride and Prejudice. We’re back now after a delightful, though extremely short, Christmas vacation. Notice all the girls who’ve become left-handed? Santa Claus left a lot of diamonds this year, didn’t he? Can you believe that January is nearly over? Strange as it seems, we’re watching Ann McNair, Jack Benzie, Frank Madigan, Allen Scott, and Jean Keesee run through one of the scenes in Speed, their class play. Then we see Mr. Sweeney hand Gary Sears his diploma, and we look around to be sure we’re in the right auditorium. In the next pictures we see every variety of doll baby, water gun, scooter, and lollipop. It’s Baby Day, and we’re having a wonderful time! Doesn’t Jean Davis look adorable in her pinafore and bonnet, and isn’t Jimmy Traynham the most overgrown baby you ever saw ? Weh ave to hold on to our seats now, for it seems so incredible. There we are, bedecked in our caps and gowns, facing our friends, teachers, and parents as we sing our “. Ima Mater.” There’s a strange mistiness about our eyes, and there’s an unexplainable lump in our throats. What was the name of that picture? Oh, yes, I recall now: “The Best Years of Your Lives.” How right you were, Mr. Padden! JUNE canera 7 ) rcrsowaRltj Oufetu £.

Danville . . . . 0 WILSON, 6— OLYMPIA, 19 Wilson’s Presidents lost their first football game since 1946 to Olympia’s Red Devils at Columbia, S. C. Inexperience, many fumbles, and “Jeepers” Jeffcoat were too much for the Presidents. Wilson, a twelve-point underdog, played well throughout the game. Sparkling performances were turned in by Rodney Young and Bob Griesback, who scored the Prexie’s touchtown, in the backfield, while the line, led by Captain Ray “Pee Wee” Beck, Wally McCarty, and Jerry Mingis turned in a fine job. WILSON, 18— NORVIEW, 0 Rebounding from their defeat at the hands of Olympia, the Presidents, in their first home game, scored three touchdowns in the first half to rack up their first win of the .season. Bobby McCarter tossed two touchdown passes, one to end. Jack “Tiger” McLean, and the other to Howard Cowan, to lead the Presidents’ attack. Bill Prince scored the other six-pointer. The attempts for the extra points were no good. WILSON, 19— RALEIGH, 12 The Presidents played their best game of the season at Raleigh by downing the Capitols 19-12. Jack Benzie, the Wilson triple-threat, led the Prexies to victory by scoring twice and throwing a touch- down pass to Howard Cowan. Bill Prince scored the extra point on a reverse. The line looked very good as they outcharged and outplayed the heavier and more experienced Raleigh line. The entire team played outstanding ball and impressed the Carolina fans with their vicious tackling and blocking. WILSON, 20— CRADOCK, 6 Continuing their winning streak, the Prexies ran rough-shod over their new rivals, the Cradock .Admirals. McCarter, Cowan, and Prince each punched out a touchdown through the Cradock defense. Jimmy Traynham kicked both of the extra points. The Admirals wouldn’t give up, however, and came back strong in the fourth quarter to score once and nearly score again. They proved that they will give the Presidents plenty of trouble in future games. WILSON, 0— NEWPORT NEWS, 14 Capitalizing on breaks and Wil.son’s inability to score, the Newport News Typhoon downed the Prexies, 14-0. After the Newport News team had scored a quick six-pointer, the game became a tight battle that see-sawed back and forth until the fourth quarter, when they again punched out a score. Much of the game was played in Wilson territory with the Presidents making only one serious scoring threat during the entire game, which was stopped on the Typhoon’s seven-yard line. WILSON, 0— PETERSBURG, 21 As was the case when the Presidents were downed by Newport News, they just couldn’t get started. The Prexie backs couldn’t gain much through the strong Petersburg line, but the Crimson Wave ripped through the Wilson forward wall. The only thing that the Presidents had to cheer about was the outstanding play of Jerry Mingis and Wally McCarty, each of whom made numerous tackles all over the field. WILSON, ()— M.AURY, 12 In the 30th renewal of the ancient football feud between the Maury Commodores and Wilson, the Presidents came out of the game on the short end of a 12-0 score. It was a hard fought battle that was scoreless up to the last three minutes, when the Commodores broke loose for two touchdowns. They crossed the goal once on a pass and again on a twenty yard run. The Wilson forward wall was one of the main reasons the Norfolk gridders were unable to gain much ground. Big Wally McCarty and Duke Johnson were the chief cogs in the defense, throwing the Commodores back for many los.ses. WILSON, 13— HOPEWELL, 2G ■Although Wilson lost their fourth straight contest to Hopewell’s Blue Devils, it was something of a moral victory. It was the first time in three games that the Presidents had scored. Wil.son was ahead at the end of the half 7-6. Jack Benzie scored the touchdown and Jimmy Traynham, big end, booted the extra point. Early in the third quarter Hopewell scored again, putting them ahead 13-7. Late in the same period the Eightin’ Presidents came back to tie up the score on Bobby McCarter’s fifteen yard run around right end behind brilliant blocking. The extra point was not good. Hopewell, however, bounced back to score twice and clinch the game 26-13. WILSON, 7— GRANBY, 13 In the thrilling finish Granby’s Comets scored a touchdown, with ten seconds remaining, to defeat the Wil.son eleven 13-7. .After three scoreless quarters, in which the Presidents showed an advantage, the Prexies, missing the service of two first string backs, Howard Cowan and Bob Griesback, cracked ice with Bobby McCarter racing around right end for the final yardage. Jimmy Traynham split the uprights for the extra point. Five minutes were left in the final quarter when a Granby end caught a long pass for the touchdown. Jack Benzie and guard, Hines “Cat” Creecy played outstanding ball for the Presidents. WILSON, 6— DANVILLE, 0 On the opening kick-off Jack Benzie returned the ball nearly sixty yards for the Presidents, and a few plays later he plowed over the goal line for the only score of the game. .After this the Presidents’ offense slowed down and the game became a battle between the two lines. Several times the Danville team made scoring threats but were thrown back by the Wilson forward wall, led by Captain Ray Beck, This game was the last one for many of the Wil.son eleven, including Captain Beck, Frank Madigan, Jack Benzie, Howard Cowan, Hines Creecy, Rodney Young, and Jimmy Traynham.
