' 1 Editor Sara Hudgins Business Manager Beverly Lindauer Advisor , A. E. Landis P R E S I D E N T PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON HIGH SCHOOL Portsmouth 1 BUG PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA DEDICATION We seniors knew that the year 1955-56 would be one of interest to us all because of the change from the old to the new, and we looked forward to it with mixed emotions. We could not forget the dear memories we left behind in the old Woodrow Wilson, and at the same time looked forw ' ard to a glorious future in the new school. We were breaking our ties with the past and looking with uncertainty on the days ahead. It was not coming back to the same old grind and routine, but a return to a year of challenge and opportunity. Naturally, we felt a deep bond to the old school since most of our efforts and high school memories are centered there, but it was not long before we felt a closeness to this, our new school. We were its pioneers! We were the senior class whose job it was to keep alive the time-proven old traditions, and create new ' ones under new ' circumstances. The architect and contractors created for us a building that is rated among the best in the South. There is much work to be done in order for our achievements, honor and spirit to equal the greatness of our new building. We have tried our best to set the example as w ' ell as a goal for the classes of the future. May all their efforts and achievements be worthy of Woodrow Wilson High School. So, here is to the glorious past of the old Wilson! It is but a dear memory to us now. May the future of the greater new W ' ilson reflect and, in years to come, even outshine the old. May our dear Alma Mater rise to the highest heights possible. Reluaantly, yet with assurance, we drop the reins: reluctant that the year is ended and our pioneering is done, and assured of the fact that those same reins will be taken up by firm and steady hands of the future. Here is to the future of the new ' Woodrow Wilson! The glory of the old shall alw ' ays be with us. May the new reach even greater heights. Superintendent A. J. Mapp, school board members and city officials on hand os Principal R. L. Sweeney breaks ground for the New Woodrow Wilson, July 14, 1953. FOREWORD The function of any yearbook is to reflect the school year in pictures. This we have tried to do. However, since we found ourselves in a beautiful, spacious, new building when the fall term opened, we felt that this 1956 President, the first to come out of the new building, should also try to picture in detail all sections of the physical plant. As a result, we have given over the divider pages to as accurate a picture record of the new Woodrow Wilson High School as space permits. It is our hope that in years to come these pictures will recall many happy hours spent both within and without the walls of the structure we fondly call Woodrow Wilson High School. Superintendent A.

Remember our first year at Portsmouth’s fore- most school, Woodrow Wilson? Upon entering the strange building, we were invaded by Student Coun- cil members who were more than glad to point the way to the Auditorium with an attitude of complete authority. We were the lowest form of human ex- istence. Yes, you guessed it — 8th graders. That was the year when the horrid third lunch half came into effect, and we ended up eating so early that it w ' as like having a second breakfast. Do you recall our first exams which left us com- pletely brainwashed and exhausted! After we were completely initiated into high school life as 8th graders, we really got up in the world by becoming Freshmen. To the majority of boys it meant trying out for sports and at least mak- ing the team, even if it was just sitting on the bench; and to the girls it meant having their first crush on a mighty senior. Think of those four year schedules that we made out; some of us felt as if we were signing our lives away due to the new’ and strange subjects. . . , • • 11 At last we were invited to join various clubs. Then we really felt as if we were a part of Wilson. That first football game w ' as something that none of us will ever forget. Remember sitting in the stands in 30 degree weather and yelling so long and hard that we couldn’t speak on Saturday morn- ing? In our Sophomore year, due to the fact that our studies were getting harder, we had to put our noses to the grindstone and really buckle dowm and study more than ever. That was the year the girls had the opportunity to trj out for the J. V. Cheer- leading Squad. But alas! Only ten lucky girls made it. Also, the new report cards came out carrying the ever important exam grades. What a thrill and honor it was being able to run for student council. How hard w ' e w ' orked, and how ' proud w ' e were when Dennis McMurran was elected Vice-President. Goodness, only one year to go at the old Wilson High. That year was really V-I-C-T-O-R-Y year. We had the State Champion football team. Eastern District basketball winner. State Champion public speaker and an award winning annual. The Junior Class officers were really select: Bob White, president; Gloria Mercer, secretary; Buck Dodson, vice-president; Barbara Turner, girls treas- urer; Sonny Mathias, boys’ treasurer; and Joan Tur- ner, representative. Remember how we all worked like mad putting together our Junior Class Minstrel? As the deadline drew near, the jangled nerves could be heard through- out the halls. Confusion prevailed as each in turn bravely smeared grease-paint far and wide. As the curtain went up and a hush fell upon the audience, the Show ' ” was finally on its way. With its successful climax, the Junior Class abund- antly filled its coffers, but promptly and happily paid it all out on our elaborate and unique Jr.-Sr. Can we ever forget the long hours of hard work that were necessary to make such a dance possible? Finally, the most exciting and important part of our high school career was upon us. We were the elite; grand and glorious Seniors, or so we thought. To a stranger w ' atching from the sidelines no dif- ference could be distinguished between ourselves and Freshmen as we all tried desperately to read those crazy maps. We were all overcome by the vast spaciousness of the new building, and one would often wish for roller skates as he hurried to a distant class. Yet we w ' ere proud to be pioneers in our new school, and the first class to graduate. At the start of the year there was the annual mad rush to the faithful Tribble Studio to have Sen- ior class pictures made. Then there was the ordering of calling cards, additional announcements to be made, and the inevitable 8:30 A.M. Senior class meetings. As our project to insure a pleasant graduation, W ' e again undertook the task of putting on a show, our Christmas Fantasy. Under overwhelming handi- caps due to the new auditorium, we produced what we thought W ' as a clever and professional musicale. Baby Day w ' as ushered in accompanied by the childish shouts of glee as we romped about the halls of school. Then came the time when all the would be dramatic stars had their final chance to succeed on the high school stage. As the senior play drew near, the feverish preparations and anxiety which prevailed could easily be seen as the talented walked about the halls in a daze, trying to memorize their lines. The senior class banquet was the next step to- wards the completion of the school year, and the en- tire class enjoyed it immensely. Next came the junior senior prom, and this time we w ' ere on the receiving end of the festivities; the juniors, as expected, made very gracious hosts. At last, the long awaited moment was here — graduation! Solemnly we walked across the immense stage to receive our diplomas bound in blue and orange ribbon. We remain forever the Senior class of June ’56. Joyce Blanchard Shelby Davis Barbara Jones Sarah Hudgins —18— FEBRUARY CLASS John Quincy Adams Honor Society, Activities Assn. Joyce Hope Alphin D. O.

Remember how we were welcomed by that good-looking, red-headed, president of the Student Council, Larry Goldman? Afterwards, we asked up- per classmen silly questions, and were teased and kidded; but we loved it, ’cause w ' e could finally say, We go to High School.” At the football games we tried to yell louder than the rest of the student body put together; and remember how we girls wore those long orange and blue ribbons on our shoulders? It was then that all the boys decided they were going to be football players, and all the girls decided to be cheerleaders. Each game was sponsored by two of the most popular senior girls, who at half-time were presented corsages and gold footballs. After football season and the holidays had come and gone, we got our first taste of exams! Those who passed then became full-fledged Freshmen. In the lA we held the Mock Convention to which each History class sent delegates. In the late spring we learned what a real election was; Joe Helms was elected president of the Student body. Although we had grown to like high school life, there were no complaints when vacation time rolled around. When we returned in the fall the Bi-centennial celebration was second only to the following of our football games. That year Debbie Thomas was elected the first Homecoming Queen. February came around, and we w ' ere Sophomores at last. In the spring the student body saw fit to elect George Gould president. When September came again we returned as high Sophomores. Annie Edwards reigned over the Home- coming festivities. Our class felt certain that it w ' as the presence of Charles Sears, Randolph Dickson, Collins Faison, Billy Duke, and Billy Bond that was responsible for the JV football team winning the championship. After we entered the spring term, we were con- sidered upper classmen. The term seemed to be filled with important elections. Kit Morse was elected president of the Student Body; the Junior Class offi- cers were Bob White — President, Bucky Dodson — Vice-President, Gloria Mercer — Secretary, Barbara Turner and Sonny Mathais — Treasurers, Mike Wright — 3B Representative to the Student Council, and Miss Betty (ihapman — Adviser. As ,3B’s we really thought we were .something! This year. Homecoming took on a new meaning. Auntie” (ihapman and (iharles Sears supervised a float, a reproduction of the annual of the Homecom- ing C.lass, which placed in the final judging. Barbara 26 — Turner was the third Queen. In Roanoke we clinched the State Football Championship by beating the home team in a thrilling game played in a down- pour! It was a sad moment for all of us when we heard that Miss Emily Dashield ' s bust of Julius Caesar had fallen to its death. It was rumored that he W ' as murdered, and as he was slain, yelled, Ete Brute,” again and again. We welcomed the beginning of our Senior year, for this was the year we looked forward to for 1 1 years. The basketball team won the Eastern District Championship and placed third in the State. The Junior Class Minstrel was put on under the direc- tion of Charles Sears, and the profit was large. This money helped to make our Junior-Senior Prom, of which Barbara Bunn was chairman, a grand affair. Baby Day was a day when our true nature came to the surface. That night at the annual Baby Day Dance, Anne Brown and Tim Kinny were chosen the cutest couple. Kit Morse and Betty Jane Smith the cutest boy and girl and Alan Wright the most original baby. In the Student Council elections that year. Bob White was elected president. Class Officers for that last half year were Charles Sears — President, Carroll Creecy — Vice President, Barbara Bunn — Secretary, Anne Brown and Collins Faison — Treasurers, Libby Cottle — Representative to the Student Council, Randolph Dickson — Representative to the newly- formed Honor Council, and Miss Betty Chapman — Adviser. Our last half year was spent in the new 4 million dollar high school. The midnight oil burned, and the sweat poured off our brows as we toiled over our English term papers. Mrs. Wilda Oakley really pulled a boo-boo when she required her classes in history 10 to turn in theses! The Honor Council, president of which was Brent Wickers, was set into motion. That year our float, under the supervision of Randolph Dickson, won 3rd place. Gloria Mercer headed the Homecoming celebration as the 4th queen. Our class, together with the June Class i ' ider the capable direction of Murray Dinzes, put on a Christmas Musicale which was a great success. Wc ordered our announcements, calling cards, and were measured for caps and gowns. Our class play was the final display of our talents. Graduation was a sad affair, but we will always remember our Alma Mater with the deepest love and respect, and we hope that the friends we left behind will remember us for that quality of which we are so proud, our ortginality. Anne Brown Randolph Dickson Barbara Bunn FEBRUARY CLASS PROPHECY As we enter the Cavaliar Yacht and Country Club for a reunion on the eve of our graduation ten years past, who should open the door but John Ed- mondson looking very debonair in his double breasted white dinner jacket and his formal Bermuda shorts. Walking into the cocktail lounge, we find that attention seems to be centered around Sam Valen- tino” Smith who is showing off his gold, diamond- studded cigarette holder to three sophisticated mod- els, Jo Anne Balaton, Joy Goodroe, and Julius Jor- don. Joyce Alphin, in her slinky Dior original gown, comes over with her Brownie and offers to take our picture. She’s working for Life Magazine. We pose with Coach Lewis and his wife, the former Auntie” Chapman, and their friends Mama” Garver and her steady. Coach Mounie. Mr. Tim Kenny and his wife, the former Anne Brown, are trying to make their eight boys stop spitting olive seeds at the waiters. Over in one cor- ner, still bragging about his football offers, is Billy Duke. Listening in are Richard Kuebler, rookie of the year, Randolph Dickson, football coach at West Point, Donald Baines, measurer of Giraffe’s necks at the New York Zoo, and Rhoda Barnes, famous Holi- day on Ice” star. Examining the nap of the rug is H. C. Jones, famous collector of oriental rugs. Taking in his con- versation is Henry Jacobs who just won a Pulitzer prize for his startling discovery that leopards can’t change their spots. John Adams, a noted explorer who has just re turned from the Sahara Desert, reports that the For- eign Legion Headquarters lack the feminine touch. Francis Ventura immediately volunteers to fill their needs. Dinner is announced, and we proceed into the dining room. As we take our seats we notice for the first time that all who are attending are wear- ing white dinner jackets and formal Bermuda shorts. While Bob Hervey is bending over to take his seat, he loses his toupee in the soup. Bob Ainsworth, sword swallower for Barnum and Bailey Circus, gives us a demonstration by swallow- ing his knife. S itting next to him is the well known m.arriage consultant, Patsy Parkins. It is hoped that her seventh marriage will be successful. Charlotte Freeman Simpson is still making eyes at Collins Fai- son and Charles Sears, who is now shoveling Six- teen Tons.” Carroll Creecy, president of the bar- tender’s association, delivers the after dinner speech, using as his topic, The Evils of Alcohol,” during which Dot Harrell passes out mint flavored tooth- picks. Immediately following dinner comes a floorshow, MCd by the famous playwright, Murray Dinzes. Kicking out from the side of the stage come the laughing can-can girls headed by that agile lady of charm, Mary Sheffield. Backing her up are Libby Cottle, Doris Luke, Louise Williams, Patricia Silva, Sandra Bell and Betty Ann Hofler. As the lights dim three characters slink out onto the stage doing a Frenchy interpretation of St. Louis Blues. When they come back for an encore we. much to our surprise, recognize them as Shirley Wright, Jerry Lily, and Irene Clark. Mary McLane entertains the audience with her sultry version of, Gimme’ A Little Kiss Will You Huh?” During the intermission, David Bond, the orchestra leader, plays a trumpet solo. Jimmy Rigsby opens the second act with his famous juggling act, ably assisted by Barbara Ritter. The Five Graduates captivate the audience with their version of Scotland’s Burning.” The quintette con- sists of Katherine Williams, Marilyn Miller, Ro- berta Stewart, Beverly Gardner, and Betty Walker. At this point John Peters, a roving reporter, breaks into the floor show and asks everyone to please tell him how many children they have so he may com- plete his survey for Mrs. Wilda Oakley’s History 10 class. Jill West and Tucky Golden carry on the entertainment by doing a husband and wife tumbling act. The floor show is concluded by Eugene Staples and his interpretation of Johnny Ray. Dance music is begun by the band. The first couple to dance onto the floor is Sally Jo Pearce and her fiancee, Terry Beale! Terry looks disting- uished in his pink dinner jacket and black velvet Ber- muda shorts. As the crowd gathers round to see the pair, guess who jumps to the table top trying to get a good shot? Jack Bunting, of course! Barbara Bunn, who is now the standin for Imogene Coca, eyes the stag line. Wayne Champion, the country’s greatest motorcycle racer, and dressed in his Marlon Brando outfit, flatters the wall flowers by telling them of his latest chicken run. As the band starts playing a slow number the newlyweds, Clarance Bowles and the former Beverly Wilkins, glide onto the floor. David Hoover, in- ventor of the Hoover Vacuum Cleaner, has just sold the lovely pair his first Do it yourself vacuum kit.” As we return to our seats we spy Jerry Early, now a model for the Pepsident Company,” talking to the five-star general, Marvin MacDowell, who has just returned from Pork Chop Ridge. Entering into the conversation is Claudette Gurganus, millionairess president of the Campbell Soup Corporation. As the rising sun kills the need for electric lights, we see Rudy Livingston doing chin-ups on the hat rack. Admiring his masculine physique is Betty Benton, noted ambassador to Podunk, North Caro- lina. When the la.st pairs prepare to leave, we recog- nize Darlene Hill and Tony Walsh as the most suc- cessful couple. They are now girdle manufacturers. Driving home, thoughts of our four wonderful years in high school enter our minds, and we long once again for the good old days.

ECRIVONS SOCIETY THE FORUM The Ecrivons Society derives its name from the French word meaning Let Us Write. Its purpose is to develop an interest in creative writing. Membership is open only to those who have at least a B” average and a talent for writing. Members are required to write two compositions each semester in any medium, and then read them before the entire organization. Officers of the organization are: Paul Bloom-president; John Pappas-vice-president; Joyce Frieman-secretary; Helen Caravas-treasurer. Several standing committees devote their time in car- rying on the many necessary functions of this active or- ganization. The main purpose of the Forum Club is to encourage interest and stimulate discussion on any topic from teen- age problems to current world questions. Meeting pro- grams consist of a debate by two club members on a given topic. This is followed by a general discussion. Activities of the organization this year have included a homecoming float fashioned after a rocket with Pro- gress in Education” as its theme. One of the year’s high- lights was the club’s assembly program held in honor of the memory of John Marshall. ROW ONE: S. Woodyard, L. Wasley, E. Goloskov, P. Bloom, L. Pappas, H. Caravas, J.

Kward S|CUNU Turney THIRD R W l j McCor- rs;.; a c.. Organized in 1920, le Cer� .le Francais numbers energetic members who usually rise to the occasion. Its purpose is to unite French students in a social group, and to stimulate interest in French civilization. Members include those who are studying French or those who have completed two years of the language. Present member- ship exceeds a hundred in number. Two highlights of the past year were the efforts in connection with the homecoming float and the annual assembly. Delving into past records, several individuals discovered that the club shipped several barrels of clothing to France in the wake of World War II; that two of its officers unveiled the plaque to Lafayette at the corner of High and Crawford Streets while club members dazzled the crowd by gaily chanting the Marseillaise. Club history also records the night the girls attended a ball given in honor of the officers of several French battleships then in port. After passing through the receiving line of admirals, baronesses and countesses, the girls, surrounded by a bevy of Frenchmen eager to dance with the petites Americaines, were whirled around a une vitcsse vertigineuse.” This year we salute the seniors: Au revoir, bacheliers!

Music letters are awarded members on a strict point basis for attendance and concert participation. Objectives of the group include creation of good tone quality and a better understanding cf music as a whole. The highlight of the year for the Mixed Chorus is the annual Christmas Assembly program.

The League ' s Award of Merit was issued in 1941 to Wilson by the Internationol Orgonization as Young Amer- ica ' s Adventure in Friendship for its services rendered during the preceding year in furthering better relations and mutual understanding between the Americas. Membership is limited to those students who study Spanish. In 1955 Woodrow Wilson ' s League completed its study of the twenty-one American republics, except the United States, and has received the notional flag of each country to be placed on the Award in recognition of programs, correspondence and other projects between Wilson ' s Leogue and schools of other republics. In April of this year the League presented an auditorium program in honor of April 14, Pan-American Day, and also entertained the Pan-American League of Granby High School, Norfolk, at the Hotel Portsmouth. The sponsor of the club is Miss Katharine B. Woodward. FIRST ROW: S. Rector, M. Foreman, C. Johnson, J. Pon- ton, G. Cornel, B. Schwartz, B. Bowen, L. Hogge. SEC- OND ROW: W. Pyle, E. Leche, R.

Held scoreless throughout the first half, the Presidents came back to score twice in the third quarter on a 2 yard run by Jimmy Williams and a 5f) yard run by speedy Bobby Sher. The offensive play of Dennis McMurran was the main factor in holding the team together during the first half. The defensive team, led by Jug Browning and Shelby West, held the Tigers in check throughout the entire game with great assists from Tommy Perry and Earl Sweet. Charles Sears — Halfback WILSON 0 — HOPEWELL 23 The Hopewell Blue Devils handed the Presidents their first defeat of the 55 campaign, displaying a brilliant passing and running game. Although the Prexics went down to defeat, the offensive and defensive play of fullback George Parrish stocjd out along with that of Billy Skeeter and Charles Sears. The Blue Devile were rated number one contenders for the state title which the Presidents were defending, and under the outstand- ing generalship of Jimmy Williamson, the visitors looked every bit the part. The game was not as one sided as the score would indicate. Two touchdowns came as a result of freak fumbles in rapid succession. The first two points of the game were a gift in the form of thi only poor pass from center during the shole season. Tom Perry — Tockle I Billy Duke — Guard Jerry Kenny — Tackle Leche breaks loose on the keeper against Norview It Jack Beale — Halfback WILSON 6— NORVIEW 14 In a hard fou.uht game which was not decided until the fourth quarter, the Presidents were de- feated by the Norview Pilots, 1955 Virginia State Champions. This was the first loss for any Wilson eleven in all the meetings between the two schools. The defeat was a bitter pill to swallow since Nor- view was coached by ex-Wilson mentor, Pete Sachon. Billy Skeeter scored the only Wilson T.D. on a driving quarterback sneak of eight yards, and his passing to ends Jackie Babb and Collins Faison kept the victors back on their heels all evening. The run- ning of Charles Sears stood out offensively, and the defensive play of Jug Browning and Shelby West can ' t be overlooked. Jack Babb — End Eddie Leche — Quarterback WILSON 7— ARLINGTON 0 After two straight losses to Group I powers the Presidents journeyed for their first away game against the highly-rated Generals. Jimmy Payne, Sam Smith, Shelby West, Jack Quarterback Billy Skctter was the whole offense as he returned a punt for 42 yards and a touchdown. He w ' as helped considerably along the way by a key block thrown by Jug Browning. Skeeter also added the extra point by sneaking over. Beale and Dennis McMurran were outstanding in their respective defensive roles. The game w ' as postponed IS hours because of weather conditions, and was played on a wet soggy field. In spite of adverse conditions the Presidents played an outstanding team game. Particularly on defense. Bill Jarrett — Guard Typhoon puts the squeeze on Skeeter Carl Redden — Halfback Randolph Dickson — End WILSON 18— NEWPORT NEWS 0 Sparked by Bobby Sher, who was in top con- dition for the first time, and Charles Sears, the Presidents handily whipped Newport News 18-0 in a ijame played on the Peninsula. The first score came as a result of Sher’s yard sprint around right end early in the first quarter. The second touchdown was an explosive burst by Sears who went over right tackle, picked up block- ing and scampered 85 yards without a hand touch- ing him. The third six-pointer found Eddie Leche teaming up with Collins Faison on a 27 yard pass play. Bobby Perkins, Earl Sweet and Jug” Browning were defensive standouts, and Jerry Kenny and Jackie Babb were impressive on offense. a Bobby Hoffman — Quarterback Waverly Sykes — Quarterback Charles Bond — Halfback Fred Fish — Tackle Earl Sweet — Tackle Kenny Archer — Center Bobby Sher — Halfbock Charles Vaughon — End WILSON 13— PETERSBURG 0 This game found the Presidents playing before a Homecoming crowd of 7,000 excided spectators. The Crimson Wave and the Prexies battled to a 0-0 halftime score, but the Wilson eleven bounced back to score rwice in the second half. Fullback Jimmy Williams scored on a twisting 17 yard run. Jug Browning converted. Bobby Sher accounted for Wil- son ' s other touchdown on a thrilling 50 yard dash through the right side of the Petersburg line. Tommy Perry led the entire offensive line, team- ing with Collins Faison to open up mammouth holes in the opponents forward wall for sizeable gains. Ernie Houghton, hampered by a leg injury most of the season, played like his old self, making numerous tackles from his linebacking position. Shelby West — Tackle Pat Viola — Guard George Parrish — Fullback Ben House — Guard WILSON 13— MAURY 19 The Maury Commodores cashed in on a blocked kick and other Wilson miscues to hand the Prexies a defeat after three consecutive shutout victories. Charles Sears took a pass from Billy Skeeter and dodged his way through the secondary for the first score. Skeeter scored Wilson’s other touchdown on a 1-yard sneak through the middle of the Maury line late in the final quarter. Shelby West again teamed with Ernie Houghton and Jug Browning to check the Maury running attack. Although the Presidents went down to defeat, they outplayed the Commodores in all departments except the scoring column. WILSON 28— SUFFOLK 0 The Presidents took on the. Red Raiders in the annual Peanut Bowl game played in Suffolk. Wilson scored early on a 34 yard touchdown jaunt by full- back George Parrish. In the second period Dennis McMurran capped a 65 yard march with a 4 yard smash off left tackle. Billy Skeeter, playing bril- liantly throughout the game, returned a punt 53 yards for a touchdown as the half came to a close. In the third quarter Jimmy Williams took a handoff and went off right tackle for 12 yards and Wilson’s final score. ’’Jug” Browning converted twice. Coach Mills employed the entire squad in the final period, giving them plenty of game experi- ence for next season. The entire offensive and defensive units stood out in the 28-0 romp.

The Comets scored early as a re- sult of a Wilson fumble deep in Wilson territory. The Presidents outplayed the Blue Comets the rest of the night, threatening many times to cross the Granby goal only to have all threats halted. Billy Skeeter scored on a 5 yard end run to tie the score. Earl Sweet ' s placement was blocked. Charles Vaughan and Carl Redden stood out for the Presidents on offense, and linebackers Ernie Houghton, George Parrish and Jug Browning all came in for a big share of tackles on defense.

WILSON 22— ROANOKE 0 For the first time the Presidents lived up to pre- season predictions and played their best game of the year in overpowering a _ previously undefeated Roanoke eleven. The defensive unit was never better, holding the Magicians to a net minu ; 34 yards gained. Ernie Houghton was outstanding at his line-backing po- sition, smashing through to bring down Roanoke backs before they could get started. Jack Beale, Bobby Perkins, Sam Smith, Earl Sweet and Jimmy Payne all stood out in their respective positions. Offensively, Jimmy Williams was practically the whole show, scoring twice on runs of 9 and 34 yards. In addition, he threw his only pass of the season and hit Skeeter for a 44 yard scoring play. Tommy Perry at tackle ended his playing days at Wilson in a blaze of glory, opening huge holes for sizeable gains on the part of President backs. Bill Jarrett and Bill Bond also played outstanding games at guard, and Jerry Kenny ' s downfield block- ing was superb, shaking Williams loose on both his touchdowns. This game was the annual Parents Day game, and saw 22 seniors end their playing days for Wilson. J. V.

At the beginning of the Campaign an inexperienced group of boys greeted their new coach, Jack Mounie, a former all-time great who came back to his Alma Mater as an assistant on the coaching staff. The over all record for the season showed three victories, one loss and one tie, the last two coming at the hands of Granby and Warwick. Considering the fact that in practically all games played the Baby Presidents were up against more experienced teams, the results for the year were quite satisfactory. The honors as far as individuals are concerned were more or less evenly distri- buted. On offense, Bobby Hoffman, Frank Carmines, Ernest Williams, Frankie Cohn, Larry Armstrong and Ernie Gilchrist stood out offensively in the backfield, with Cohn making his presence felt defensively as well. Tim Smith at center. Buck Lawrence and Kenny Baker at guards, Richard Wood and Jim Todd at tackles, and Algy Borum and Bob Smith at ends all came in for their share of honors, both on offense and defense With the experience gained, a number of boys from the squad will be ready to make strong bids to become full-fledged Presidents when the 1956 season rolls around.

Wil- son opened with city rival St. Paul ' s High School, and went on to win nine straight games before being upset by the Maury Commodores, a team that always plays its best games against Wilson. Two seniors, Beverly Bear Vaughan and Billy Phelps, were elected co - captains and proved themselves capable leaders throughout the season. Charles Vaughan (I 1 The Prexies were hurt at mid-season when the eligibility of Billy Skeeter as well as that of Don Smith, tw ' o first string performers, ran out. Charles Vaughan, although not the scorer that Smith was, proved himself a dependable rebound- er and averaged 6.2 points per game. Coach Lewis experimented with several guards as replacements for Skeeter, and finally came up with Joe Koon, a junior who became a steady performer the remainder of the campaign.

Coach Lewis always was able to find a cap- able replacement from a host of reserves. Al- ways ready and waiting to step in were Dennis McMurran, Buck Dodson, Bobby Brantley, Thur- mond Gough, J. R. Baker, Kenny Archer, George Parrish, Leonard Lao, Bobby Luke, Bobby Hoff- man and Raymond Perry.
