The Tigers were up for the game and an upset was in the making, but the Prexie line held. Tommy Bailey scored for the Prexie win. WILSON 6 — FORK UNION 21 The Fork Union Bluedevils soon showed the Presidents that they would have to im- prove to compete in group I. The big Devils were rugged on offense and defense as they handed the Wilson team their first loss. This was the meeting of the two teams. First Row: Denmark, Wickers, Skeeter, Mathews, Browning, Pond, Parks, Hopewell. Second Row: Haythe, Knowles, Riley, Archer, Terry, Byers, Smith, Carpenito, Ames, Ricketts, White. Third Row: Bailey, Gay, Seed, Hughes, Antinucci, Myers, Lippman, Carter, Harrell, Harris, Phelps. Fourth Row: Rakestraw, Hartung, Moore, Wright, Gartman, Severn, Kilpatrick, Mc- Kinney, Powell, Opauski. Terry Scores Against Norview Sonny Terry Spilled by Crimson Wave. [l t; I !i I ! Carpenito — Co-Captain T erry — Co-Cap tain WILSON 12— NORVIEW 0 In this game the Prexies looked very impressive in all departments, Tommy Bailey passed to Worley Smith early in the game to take the lead. Pat Carpenito looked good on defense in helping hold the Pilots scoreless. WILSON 13— ARLINGTON 6 The hard fighting Prexies pulled an upset as they scored late in the last period. David Ames was the individual standout in the game, played in Arling- ton.

WILSON 7— NEWPORT NEWS 14 The Prexies faltered in this one, too. New- port News, a team that hadn’t heaten Wilson in five years, pulled an upset hy scoring in the last minutes of play to put the game on ice. David Ames scored for the Orange and Blue on a fine run in the second half. This game proved fatal to Wilson’s title hopes. WILSON 12— PETERSBURG 7 This was the Homecoming game and a thrilling one, too. Sonny Terry scored twice on long runs, and the Prexie line played a magnificent game on defense. Pat Riley, Joe White, and Tommy Hay the paved the way for the victory. I WILSON 7— MAURY 12 This is the one game that Wilson wanted to win, but they failed to do so. Buddy Payne was the spearhead of the Maury attack, scoring one touchdown. Sonny Terry scored Wilson’s only touchdown on a 25 yard jaunt. WILSON 13— SUFFOLF 6 On one of the coldest nights of the year, the Fighting Prexies stormed Suffolk and came back with victory. J. P. Moore and Ralph Antonucci were responsible for the touchdowns. Powell — end Hopewell — end Gartman — center Harris — center WILSON 0— GRANBY 19 Granby was really up for this game trying to break the Prexie jinx. The Blue Comets made it nine straight by shutting Wilson out, and continued their march to the state title. Pollard and Buck — managers Rakestraw — tackle Severn — end WILSON 26— CRADOCK 6 The Presidents closed out the season with an impressive win over a Cradock team that was supposed to have a good chance of winning its first game against Wilson’s team. This last game was the first in which the Prexies scored more than two touchdowns, and the first in which an effective passing attack was combined with a powerful ground game. To single out any individual would be an injustice to an outstanding team victory. Lippmann — tackle Harrell — center 34 The surprise of the year was wrapped in a bundle labelled Junior Varsity. When football practice started last August there was no indica- tion that this group would develop as it did. The team opened up the season by defeating Warwick 13-0. When Maury and Granby were downed 13 and 7-0 respectively the feeling that “here is a team” began to generate. In the next two games Newport News and South Norfolk were shut out 31 and 44-0, and that feeling was a definite one. The young Presidents reached their peak by downing a Cradock team which was loaded with second and third string varsity players, 7-0. The final game against Maury saw the unscored on string come to an end in a 12-12 tie, but an un- defeated season was preserved ; six wins — no losses — one tie. If the ability and determination displayed by the Junior Varsity team is an indication of the future of football at Wilson, the 1954 opponents of the Orange and Blue had best look to their laurels. The Squad will be saturated with gridders who don’t know what it means to lose. J. V. RECORD Wilson 13 Warwick 0 Wilson 13 Maury 0 Wilson 7 Granby 0 Wilson 31 Newport News Wilson 44...

The Junior Officials Club was organized as a train- ing group for the Girls’ Monogram and Official club. As little sisters to the older girls they learn the rules of the intramural sports and begin training in scor- ing, timing and other official duties. This prepares them to serve later as umpires and referees and at the same time earn points toward the coveted “W.” Besides being excellent experience, membership in the Junior Officials Club is pleasant recreation. Training in leadership, sportsmanship and general knowledge of the “rules of the game” are the high- points of membership. It is because of interested, active girls like those of the Monogram and Officials Club and now the Junior Officials Club that the girls’ intramural program at Wilson has been the success that it has.

It is composed of seven faculty members and five students elected from a representation of Wilson Clubs. Activity Cards are sold each year, and card owners automatically become members of the association. Membership entitles a student to receive the school newspaper, attend home sports events, and go to movies, dances, and plays sponsored by the A.A. An activities mem- ber is also exempt from the payment of dues in clubs which are affiliated with the Associa- tion. While membership is not compulsory, it is a great saving and advantage to the student who purchases an A.A. card.

The Woodrow Wilson Bible Club, a non-denominational group of students bound together in Christian fellowship, was organized for the purpose of “living Christ on the school grounds.” The aim of the club is to take a spiritual stand in all phases of school activities. With the Scripture in mind the student lets his actions back up his words, thus making the Christian’s life appealing and chal- lenging to his fellow students. The club holds its weekly meeting every Monday afternoon in Room 2 from 3:20 to 4:00 o’clock. The program is conducted by various pupils in co- operation with the club officers who are: Warren Rawles — president, Randolph Dickson — vice-president, Barbara Van Noy — secretary and Gwynn Smith — treas- urer. Mrs. Jean Mayo, school nurse, is the club’s adviser. The club meets bi-monthly in the home of one of the members. These meetings are conducted in the same manner as those at school, except they are more informal, and refreshments are served. Outside activities include the hold- ing of services for shut-ins, giving out gospel tracts, and aiding in welfare work in any way possible. The Bible Club sends students to summer camps and conferences for further Christian educa- tion and fellowship. All members seem to receive a bless- ing from just being one of the group, and it is the hope that the club will con- tinue to grow and become a shining light in our school. 72 First Row: Wootlyard, Rahy, Hardison, Gladstone, Faulkner, Engram, Lyons, Mrs. Chalk.

Yancey M. Zirafoose FEBRUARY CLASS PROPHECY The time is 1978. The scene is the cafeteria of Woodrow Wilson High School. The Class of 1953 begins its reunion as everyone files into his place. Many prominent and important people we see. To our left we notice Guy Campbell, local dentist and President of the Virginia Dental Association, chatting with well known nurses, Norma Chiera and Carol Felton. Ap- pearing together are the co-presidents of our largest private shipping industry, Robert and David Higgenbottom, with their efficient secretaries Shirley Kuebler and Marie Sanderlin. Now we glimpse the chief electrical engineer for General Electric, Pete Caravas, ac- companied by Kirk Berkley, world known architect and engineer. Arm in arm are those two celebrities of the Fourth Estate, Bob Royster and Bobby Rogers. Following closely is their feminine associate, Sylvia Futrell. As time for the pro- gram draws near, we glance at Jerrie LaForm Rodgers who is a prima Ballerina for the Metropolitan Opera, Barbara Livesay, interior decorator, and Frances Bell, distinguished illustrator. To the side we observe a group of women chatting happily. Finally we recognize Mary King who is instructing Margarite Price and Gail Coltrain in the economical and efficient manner to run a household. A small but very audible applause fills the cafeteria as we notice in the doorway Paul and Howard Sackstien who recently returned victorious from the Olympic Games where they represented the United States in weight lifting. The program begins with a welcome by former Class President, Bill Tutle, an honor graduate of West Point, and currently serving as an officer in the Air Force. There are three speakers: “Miss America of 1960,” Anne Edwards, and noted world traveler, Fred Berman. The evening devotions are rendered by Gilbert Lee Bailey, prominent Ports- mouth minister. Next on the agenda appears Muriel Haymes, singer of both popular and classical music, who is accompanied by Barbara Mestesky, popular pianist. Master of Ceremonies, Stafford Smith, local A P manager, recognizes several former students who have earned titles in the field of sports. He introduces the present record holder of the English Channel Swim, Bernadine Speight; the winner of the National Women’s Bowling Tournament, Rae Myers. Also Jack Pettyjohn is applauded for his the British Open Golf Tournament crown. One by one the noted speakers are given their introduction. They each relate their experiences in their respective fields. Afterwards follows a fellowship period in which we have the pleasure of meeting more former classmates. Everyone is overjoyed to learn of Carol Bradley’s fullfillment of her ambition as a concert pianist. Several graduates, in- cluding Rita Barnes, Nancy Lister, and Anne Stublin are discussing their children’s pos- sibilities as Majorettes with Cathryn Brown, teacher of her own local school for majorettes. Off to one side we hear that notorious actor, Charlie Jackson, telling of his acting experiences to Gloria Spence, bank clerk, and Betty Ziegenhain officer worker. Listening intently is Sallie Brewer, dietician for the school cafeteria. Approaching the group is state promoter of Christian work, Robert Jones. Livelier than ever, Meyer Chovitz, television comedian, amuses the musical duet of Pat Broughton and Delores Halpin. Former “Miss Virginia,” Beverly Jones, also finds laughter in Meyer’s antics, as does Pat Carpenito who is a veteran player and coach of the Washington Redskins professional football squad. Barbara Dupree, Wilson librarian, urges Bob Hayslett, renown band director, to write a book of his musical career. Agreeing with her are Alton Spradlin, who assists Bob, and Doris Cottle, featured singer of the band. Michael Overton and Peggy Peed, two grads who have ventured into a life of politics, debate world affairs with Joyce Eubenks, President of the National Parent Teacher’s Association. Portsmouth City Recreational leader, Carolyn Gray, talks over public affairs with Elaine Owens and Fay Mercer who have recently opened a school of charm for all young 100 girls interested in a modeling career. M axie Hicks, aeronautical engineer is seen con- gratulating James Cates, his contemporary, upon successfully completing the construction of the new City Park Bridge. All of the February graduates of 1953 found it possible to join in the repeat per- formance of their schooldays, Just think, if this were to happen (and who says it can’t?) it would certainly be an occasion for the faculty and alumni of Woodrow Wilson High School. Let’s hope it does! FEBR UAR Y LAST WILL I, Gilbert Bailey, leave my place in Miss Mays’ English class to some fortunate 8th grader.

The team which compiled a record of 11 wins against 9 losses, was much better than the won-lost record indicates. There were times when they were hot and cold, but under the leadership of Coach McClurg, they pulled the biggest upset of the year against Hampton, the Eastern District Champion. In the scoring parade, Eric Smith, guard, was highest with 223 points for an average of 11.2 points a game. He was named one of three captains of the team, and won a place on the All-Eastern Basketball Team. Billy Skeeter led the team in foul shooting with a per- centage of 74. He will be one of the seven lettermen return- ing next year. Another member of the trio of captains is Wiley Kidd. Wiley’s biggest asset all year was his ability to rebound and help control the backboards. He was fourth in total points scored with 92. Richard Weinstein at 6 ' 5 should develop into one of Coach McClurg’s finest ballplayers next year. Richard showed best in grabbing 65 rebounds and scoring 89 points. He led the team in shooting with a 40 percent average. Eric Smith — AIl-Eastern 115 Third Row; McKinney, Weinstein, Vaughan, Stephenson. Second Row: HoHand, Kidd, Smith, Skeeter, Phelps. First Row: McMurran, McClurg, Griffin. Bobby Holland, a good defensive forward, is one of the seniors that will be missed next season. While not a high scorer or outstanding player, Bobby’s hustle was always in evidence. He scored an even 40 points for the season. Bobby Stephenson a 6 ' 5 center, led the team in total rebounds with 135 and was second in scoring with 183 points. Bobby was one of the main reasons for the success of this team. He was named the third captain and gained a berth on the All-Eastern Second Team. Probably the best shooting eye on the team belonged to Boyd Grifi , a very consistant shot from any place on the floor. Boyd is a June Graduate, whose presence will be missed next year. The varsity was gifted with six junior varsity performers from the previous year who will form the nucleus of the 1954-55 team. They are: Billy Phelps, Richard Weinstein, Mike McClurg, Dennis McMurran, Beverly Vaughan and Hunter McKinney.

What a day for us Eighth Graders! Yes, at last we could make the once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage to Woodrow Wilson High School. Remember how we were conducted into the auditorium together with 8B’s from all over the city? Mr. Robert Sweeney, Principal, and members of the faculty briefed us on life at Wilson and helped us to adjust ourselves. Maxie Weinberg, then President of the Student Body, warmly wel- comed us to W ilson High. How is it that we Eighth Graders never could arrive to class on time? Probably be- canse our new combination locks had to be broken in, 1 guess. That year small fortunes were spent on elevator tickets, auditorium seats and Activity Cards. As underclassmen we suffered constantly under the stern eye and joking word of the Mighty Senior. Remember forever entering the wrong classes due to the confusing audi- torium schedule? Gee — and to think that that was four long years ago! Freshmen in the Fall of ’50! Now we pitched right into the main lifeline of Wilson. Joining clubs, attending athletic events, and participating in other activities reduced our spare time to zero. Remember how important you felt at the induction ceremonies of the Hi-Y’s? In this year the new Band Building reached completion, and bonnding band members skipped gaily around at the thought of a building all to themselves. After this they wouldn’t have to practice “Stars and Stripes” in the cafeteria each morning during first period! On April 11, General Douglas Mac Arthur’s farewell address was made possible to Wilson Students by the installation of television sets throughout the school. In our freshman year Mr. Robert W. Allen assumed the duties of our Assistant Principal, Mr. A. J. Mapp. Mr. Mapp had recently been appointed Superintendent of Portsmouth Public Schools. George Burns took over the office of President of the Student Body. We were greatly saddened by the loss of one of our best friends, Amelia Miles, who met with unexpected tragedy that spring of 1951. Amelia will remain in our memories forever as a wonderful girl and true friend. As sophomores we saw Larry Goldman our school President. Golly ! Can you recall that Mock Convention? Flags fluttered everywhere. Campaign speeches dominated the history classes. Campaign buttons were carelessly left in the cafeteria chairs. Each state attempted to outshine all others in the mad race for Pre si- dential nomination. Finally, Senator Estes Kefauver received the hearty nomination from political minded Presidents, and the convention went into hibernation for another four years. Now hear this! Now hear this! All Eighth Graders report to the cafeteria at the end of second period! What’s that? Why it’s only the installation of the third lunch half system. Now the Eighth Graders received placement in the earlier lunch period, and every- one was happy. Then came snmmer and plans for the junior year. To start off our 3A term, we elected our Junior Class officers who were: President — Don Ricketts, Vice-President — Taylor Johnson, Secretary — Beverly Jones, Girl’s Treas- urer — Betty Oakley, Boy’s Treasurer — Eddie Phelps, and Representative to student coun- cil — Jean Futrell. Our advisor was Mrs. Wilda Oakley. Why is everyone going downtown? We’re on onr way to Chapman’s to order the all important Class rings, of course! Remember (you girls) how you tried to squeeze your finger into a size smaller ring than you needed? Near the beginning of 1953 Mrs. Margurite Brumfield gathered together a troop of students and, via Greyhound Bus, we made our way to Washington, D. C. for the inaugu- ration of Dwight D. Eisenhower as President of the United States. 122 JUNE CLASS HISTORY The early bird doesn’t always get the worm. Some of them get eight o’clock classes. An entire new system went into effect ' when the eight o’clock class made its appearance at Wilson. Rising at the crack of dawn! Groping yonr way throngh the early morning fog to school! How did we manage to keep awake? Well, some didn’t, but due to overcrowded conditions these classes were certainly necessary. Junior-Senior time! Thousands of feet of crimson and white crepe paper were cut, rolled, frilled, unrolled, stapled together, and finally put into place. My, what a time we had assembling the most important dance of the year together in two days! The Ring Dance was performed on a small bridge spanning a pool of water containing live fish. Re- member the coins you so generously dropped in? Remember the morning after and the clean-up committee? Tribbles’ Studio furnished the scene for the taking of our Junior Class pictures. Now we were recognized classmen boasting individual pictures in the annual! The President for our Junior year was Joe Helms. Our senior year began two days early — on September 8. 1953. We received greetings from a freshly painted school, also. Even the lockers smiled through a bright coat of green paint. Senior Class officers were: President — Don Ricketts, Vice-President — Teddy Gart- man. Secretary — Joy Wilson, Girl’s Treasurer — Linda Creecy, Boy’s Treasurer — Wiley Kidd, Representative to Student Council — Jean Futrell, and Mrs. Oakley was once again our advisor. George Gould served as President of the Student Body. New additions at Wilson included fluorescent lighting for the rooms which taught commercial subjects, and much needed conference rooms on the first floor. Our last year at Wilson introduced us to such terms as “Cool Cat” and “Square,” and also such adjectives as “crazy, gone and nervous.” Our secret was out ! Those new report cards told everything — even our exam grades. The whole world now knew how dumb we really are! We lost one of our best friends, too. It was the ever popular Avarning bell. I’m sure you can recall how we waited and longed for its dear, welcomed buzz. To us this was the sign for the closing of books, the stopping of work, and the starting of talking. When they took it away, our eyes remained glued to the clock, and we didn’t hesitate to inform Teacher that she didn’t have enough time to complete the next example. Coach Gray was appointed to assist Mr. Allen in the duties of Assistant Principal. Now there are two people to go to see when you are caught over a Coke at Murden’s. In the cafeteria one bright morning we had to take the ACE tests. Far into second period we burned at our mental stock-pile trying to determine how to fit a round square into a square circle. Christmas in 1953 gave us more than two weeks vacation. Near the end of the 4A term. Mother Nature gave us another holiday in the form of fluffy, white snow. Not deep, but too deep for us to make it safely to school. Career Day offered us opportunities to converse Avith representatives from colleges and universities from Virginia and neighboring States. 4B’s. Sadly we gazed at the last schedule card w e were to receive while at Wilson. We began our last months of study. Histories, prophecies, and wills are being compiled for the annual. Baby day is almost upon us. Water guns are going to drench us, and we’ll have our picture taken a hundred times. In starched ruffles and white lace all the girls will dress for the Junior-Senior. Then tryouts for the p lay, arrangements for the banquet ! Practices in the auditorium! Finally comes the climax when Mr. Sweeney hands us our sacred diplomas, and Ave march off the stage as members of the June Class of 1954.
