Exif .BB NL, sv, There are those in the older generation who tell us that our years in high school are the best years of our lives. Sometimes, when we face our many troubles and seemingly insurmountable problems, we find this fact difficult to be- lieve. But then there comes the end of high schoolg and as we look back, we find that those troubles and problems were ridiculously small, and that our high school experiences have been wonderful. In a few years, they will all blend into one vivid memory. ,efaueo I I I I O I I I I I if Irene Shrader . Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark!

To be eligible for this award, the stu- dent must have a B average on all subjects. The student is then given a leadership rating by his club sponsors or homeroom teachers. Those students obtaining the highest rating are awarded a school emblem. The presentation of these awards takes place in an assembly program in the spring. The SCA also gathers baskets for needy families at Christmas and sponsors a concession stand at the football games in the fall. Each member of George Wythe High School auto- matically becomesa member of the SCA. However, since the membership of the school is so large that it would be impossible for everyone to attend the monthly meetings, there is a student council. This council is made up of all homeroom and class presidents who report the business of each meeting to their homerooms. These few members also bring to the meetings problems concerning each homeroom. All members of the council are put on committees. There are seven committees, working for the betterment of the school, appointed each year. The committees are: Building and Grounds, Safety, Program, Recreation, Lunchroom, Welfare, and Health. Throughout the year, the president may appoint other committees if the need arises. During the year representatives from the SCA are sent to the District and the State SCA meetings. Being a member of the SCA Council, one has an ex- cellent chance to learn more about self-government. 50 qui' Alice McKee Blair, Mrs. Greever, and Mr. Sutphin discuss College Night with college representatives. The president ofthe Student Cooperative Association is elected by the student body each spring and begins his term of office the following fall. The person elected president must meet the following qualifications: Qlj he must be from the incoming Senior classy Q2j he must continually show evidence of scholastic ability, a sense of responsibility, leadership ability, and civic fitness for office. The 1954-55 president of the S,C.A. is Grayson Hash, who has done an excellent job this year. The S,C,A., in cooperation with school clubs, plans two assemblies for each month. Religiousassemblies are presented every month, usually under the leader- ship ofthe Tri-Hi -Y and the Torch-Y. On the second Monday of the month various clubs present programs which are representative of the activities and interests ofclubxmembers. Assembly programs provide excellent opportunities for demonstration of student talent. .,,V ..L V .Q We - ...sw a.,.., K , 'Y ,ve ' at :A ,A-new 5 milf' ...A E' Editorial Staff 3, f - ' Sandy Fitzgerald and Grayson Hash sell Mr. Otey an ad for The Echo.

With Judy Fraley as Editor, the Wither-Wane's able staffpublished eight regular editions and four extra editions. As a new feature this year, a car- toonist was added. He worked diligently to add variety to the paper. The content of the Wither-Wane con- sists of school news, sports news, feature articles, and student gossip. This news- paper is edited wholly by the students and for the students. Besides editing the school paper, the Wither-Wane also participated in several school activities. It sponsored a school dance, contributed a Christmas basket for the needy to the S. C. A., and worked in the concession stand at the Wythe- ville-Rural Retreat football game. 55 '11 v 'az Www Mr. Jack O. White, Director.

To become a member of the Beta Club a student must make an average of B , He must keep an average of C to remain in the club. The Beta Club is a democratic organization, audit seeks to promote the ideals of democracy among its members. It is not exclusive or snobbish. Its motto, Let us lead by serving others, is a true indication of the spirit which motivates the national organization, the local chapters, and the individual members. The Beta Club publishes an official JOURNAL, which goes to each member while he isin high school. This magazine is a medium of expression for the member- ship. The Monogram Club of George Wythe High School consists of students who have received a letter for one or more of the following: basketball, football, base- ball or cheerleading. The purpose of the Monogram Club is to promote better sportsmanship and greater school spirit. During the school year, the members of this club strived to attain this purpose. The Monogram Club carried out the following ac- tivities: helda homecoming dance for the band mem- bers, football players, and cheerleaders, contributed a Christmas basket for the needy to the S.C.A.g and held a sportsmanship drive for a week. As their main project for the year, the Monogram Club completed plans for the Sportsman's Creed to be erected in the QYIT1- X ., NOR an-usual ,-,f sw. n.w.ts --.--. on a'-- fn fe. 1 :RPN V K 1 -.Qix 'X X5 Lk7b K t 5, If M Q' f S , Awuwi ,gf 5.

The purpose of the Dramatics Club is to pro- mote and stimulate interestin all phases of theat- rical work. We know that it is just as important to do a good job backstage as it is to do a good job onstage and that a successful play is achieved through the efforts of many people working to- gether as a team. In December, we sponsored June Mad, a three act comedy. Other activities included a Christmas program, a one-act play for the Dra- ma Festival, and entertainment for the Veterans' Hospital in Roanoke. Next year, we hope to en- large our activities to include more hospital shows. As we lose old members and gain new ones, our motto remains, The show must go on.

Already,itis only thirty- six hours to the furtherrnost point on earth. People are traveling at speeds over one thousand miles an hour. Rockets are soaring almost four times that fast. Space travel is no longer regarded as impossible. Often we wonder just what the future holds. We are sure of one thing -- almost all future developments will be related to air power. As young citizens, we are tre- mendously interested in the new age which seems to be dawning. How can we prepare ourselves for the roles we are going to have to play? The Sabre Club has been organ- ized in the George Wythe High School. This organization is open to all air- rninded students who wish to share aviation experiences and study the implications and principles of air- craft. Model building has been an out- standing project of the club. Much has been learned through this pro- ject.

Its function is similar in every instance. The purposes of the Library -Club are to help students locate literature on special subjects, to encourage the reading of better and more interesting literature, to help the librarian when- ever possible, to set up to date files Www on specialsubjects that are of import- ance in our modern day existence,and to create an interest in books by hav- ing programs with special interest features.

The latter will be done this year when the Club gives enough money to buy 5120.00 Worth of books. 4 Addr' l l' A..-14 nv 3 Ai' fl ,h,..r-- 4 .J-' ,- hwwhww , ' ,Q :V ' xm, xxwf ' - k A X .. . ,g..f Q- f- - ' igmfv Ii, '.

One ofthe greatest difficulties was that of inexperienced boys since only four lettermen returned to the team this year. By the end of the season the Maroons hada record of four wins, five losses, and one tie. Dublin and Narrows took the first two games, but the Maroons made a fighting comeback, holding Fries through- out a sc ore less game. George Wythe then dropped the next three games to Martinsville, William Byrd, and Rad- ford. Withthe Pearisburg game, the team's luck changed, and the Maroons surprised everyone by smothering Pearis- burg with a score of 31-O. Encouraged by this victory, the team went on undefeated throughout the remaining season, downing Rural Retreat 27-7 and Galax 12-0. The coveted trophy, which is given each year by The Southwestern Times to the winner of the George Wythe-- Pulaski game, was won again this year by the Maroons, who defeated the Orioles by a score of 6-0. This game marked the end of the season for 1954. The team, which never gave up when the going was rough, gained much respect in the eyes of the fans through- out the district. Coach Parson remarked, I was exceptionally pleased with the progress of the team by the end of the season and would like to give the greatest compliment to the members of the team for their determination and good sportsman- ship throughout the season QF -txr- 43 , .MQ A .3 'G hm' NN., u ,Q 15 Q 4... 1 fini X E 5, Coaches, Don Jimison and Frank Ferguson Manager, Ernest Reedy, Captain, Ronnie Houseman Assistant Manager, D.
