We, the RECORD STAFF, present the 1949 issue of the RECORD, our annual, with due pride.

As the years pass and you again look at this annual, its pictures will be flash-backs of your life in high school. You will see pictures of your school friends, whom you have not seen in a long time, on the football field, the basketball court, or in unposed snaps. It will be your record of ex¬ citing and happy years at Lee.

You will recall your Freshman year and how new and interesting high school was with its many activities. As a Sophomore you were ac¬ customed to the life of a high school student and could enter into its activities more freely without any self-consciousness. Then as a Junior, you looked forward with great excitement and pleas¬ ure to the time when you would become a Senior. The climax of your high school career at Lee came when you walked into assembly as a dig¬ nified Senior.

It is especially for the Seniors that we have prepared this annual; we wish it to bring back the happy memories of their days spent at Lee. These memories will probably be the happiest and the most cherished of their lives.

VALEDICTORY

Joyce Mattox

We, the class of 1949, have arrived at one of the most important events in our lives, our graduation from Lee High School. Now that we have reached this point, our desire is to go farther and take advantage of the new opportunities that will come to us. With these new changes will come many new experiences, and many important decisions will have to be made. How are we, who are so inex¬ perienced in the ways of life, to meet these conditions?

The motto of the senior class is “Nosce te Ipsum, Know Thyself”. Before we can meet the realities of life, each of us will have to know more about him¬ self, truly know his own personality. Until now, we have made our decisions with the careful guidance of others. Now we shall have to make these decisions for ourselves. As we can see, we have no easy task before us. To know ourselves will require as much study, and probably more than we have spent on our school work these past years.

Each of us has formed many habits, good and bad. It will require great will power on our part to break the undesirable habits that we have formed. Things done from habit make up a great part of our lives, and if the majority of our habits are bad, we have little hope of being better than our habits. We must realize that man is not perfect; there is only One who is perfect, and we should pattern our lives after Him.

We know that as boys and girls we can do but so much and that each of us has limitations. Most of us, however, never put forth our greatest effort, and therefore we do not know what we can do. Therefore let us, now, know our¬ selves, and satisfy ourselves as to what we can or cannot do. The persons who get ahead in this world and become great successes are those persons who have the initiative to, at least, attempt new things. To keep that little spark of initiative, which most of us have, alive, we should set a goal and work toward it. If we earnestly strive to reach that goal, our lives will surely not be failures.

Once we fully understand ourselves and know our possibilities and limita¬ tions, we shall be ready to take our proper places in life. Unless we ht ourselves into the work for which we are best fitted, we shall not be of much use to our¬ selves or to our associates. The task may seem hard at first, but it is necessary, and we should do it.

We sincerely thank our parents, our teachers, and our many friends for their kind help along the way. We hope we shall merit their faith in us, and their hope for us.

We promise, as we the class of 1949 say, “Farewell”, not to fail you.

SALUTATORY

Jess P. Miller

My friends, the life of a high school student may seem gay and frivolous to you who have so long been away from its trials, but to us it is stark, staring reality. The troubles of youth may seem simple to you beside the more complex ones of later life, but to us who have just this night passed out of the “valley of the shadow” they live in all their terror.

For instance, nearly every person who has gone through high school knows what it is to be “financially embarassed”. In fact, 1 contend we have been at times as lacking in funds as it is humanly possible to be. Of course, you say, that’s true, but you can still put the touch on Pop. Ha ! It’s been a long time since you tried to “put the touch on Pop”, hasn’t it? Today, it is far easier to work for our money .

Another woe in the hard, hard life of a high school student is the way work constantly piles up. Anyone knows the longer you leave work, the easier it becomes. At least, that is the theory upon which all high school students base their work. “Never do today, what you can put ofif until tomorrow”. However, the teachers are constantly trying to disprove this theory as a bad practice by zealous applica¬ tion of homework assignments. Little do the teachers realize if this practice con¬ tinues the result it might have on future classes not so brilliant and understanding as we.

There is one more condition that needs reporting, a condition peculiar to our own class. We have approximately two and twenty-seven hundreths girls for every boy. Now at first glance that would seem ideal from a boy’s viewpoint. But everytime we vote on anything in the class, the girls always have their way. What could be more ignominious for a group of self-respecting, red-blooded young men than to be completely dominated by girls? Even if you don’t count the twenty- seven hundreths of a girl, we are still outnumbered two to one. It’s enough to drive a man to communism.

✓

Now, that I have told you a few of the woes confronting us, perhaps I should give my idea on what should be done to alleviate the suffering of future classes. There is but one course, to form a union of Downtrodden High School Students, the D. H. S. S. Union, local number one.

On this bitter note, I close. On behalf of the Class of 1949, I extend a most hearty welcome to all of you. Make yourself at home and enjoy the evening. We shall.

LIBRARY STAFF

Our student staff this year consists of eleven girls who have volunteered their services during a free period or after school. Audrey Diggs is usually on duty be¬ fore school. Jane Simmons has been doing the morning work, putting up papers, making fine cards for the previous day’s overdues, slipping and shelving — and typ¬ ing. Jerry Wamsley during second period takes care of the mail and the filing of old magazines — and typing. If you ask Nancy Stevenson what her duties are, she might tell you of the hundreds of books she has shelved, the many, many cards she has checked for the catalog, as well as the filing of some catalog cards. Margaret Clausen, during fourth period, divides her time between mending books and typ¬ ing catalog cards. Mary Helen Click attends to the notices, reserve, overdue, etc., during the last period. Melba Melton is lending her skill to the typing jobs now, and with all of these typists our cataloging is speeding up greatly.

After school Virginia Echols, Margaret Croft, Laura Clausen, Mary Morris Gibbs, and Audrey Diggs do the closing time work, recording the day’s circulation, straightening up after a busy day, etc. All of these girls are here to answer your questions, give what help they can and to generally make the library service at Lee Hi more pleasant and efficient.

We are very grateful to these girls for their services so willingly given.

WILLIAM CAMPBELL (back) Bill was captain of the team this year and one of the most valuable players. Lee’s opponents will not soon forget Bill’s hard blocking, tackling and running. Bill will not be back next year.

SAM POPE (tackle) Sam was alternate captain this year. He played both tackle and guard position. Sam’s blocking and tackling made him just about the hardest hitting linemen. Sam is a senior and will not be back next year.

HLTGH BEAGLE (guard) Hugh’s good defensive playing helped to keep that line closed. This was Hugh’s first year on the squad and he will be back with us next year.

WILLIAM BIRGENSMITH (back) “Bergy” was one of our most powerful backs. Whether running, blocking or tackling, Bergy did a fine job. He will be back next year.

ALFRET CASH (end) This was Alfret’s first year on Lee’s team. He started out as an end, but before the season was over, he was working out at quarterback. He also will be back next year.

FORREST DICKENSON (end) Forrest was one of the J. V.’s who made the varsity before the season ended and got to play several of the last games. Dicken¬ son will be back next year to fill one of the end positions.

BILL DIGGS (tackle) Bill was one of our very versatile linesmen, playing either guard or tackle and doing a swell job on each. He will be a hard linesman to re¬ place, as this is his last year.

BERNARD FURRY (end) This was Bernard’s first year on the team. He was another player whose job was to keep the play from going around end. He also did his share of snagging passes. Bernard will be lost by graduation.

DAN HARRIS (back) Dan was one of our best quarterbacks. He knew exact¬ ly what to call and when to call it and engineered some of our prettiest touch¬ downs. We will lose Dan by graduation.

DICK HARTLY (back) This was Dick’s second year on the varsity and this year he put full time in the backfield. His hard running added much strength and power to the backfield. This is Dick’s last year.

ERSKINE LESSLEY (tackle) Erskine was just about the heaviest boy on the team and added a lot of weight to the line. Also, his blocking and tackling made him a good asset to the line. Erskine will be back next year.

JACK MclNTOSH (guard) This was Jack’s first year on the squad and he did a tine job of playing guard, both offensively and defensively. We lose Jack by graduation.

BRUCE RHEA (back) Bruce was probably the fastest and shiftiest man in the backfield. His fast running helped to account for several of our touchdowns. This was Bruce’s first and last year on the team.

D. H. SCOTT (back) Long passees and powerful kicking that set Lee’s opponents back many yards, characterize Lee’s quarterback, D. H. Scott. These abilities had definite effects in every game. D. H. will not be back next year and will be great¬ ly missed.

ROBERT STEVENS (guard) “Red” was another of our hard fighting guards. He also helped to add weight to the line, and will probably add as much, if not more, next year.

ROYCE THRIFT (tackle) Royce started out playing end this year, but because of an injured ankle, he was moved to tackle position, which he had played the previous year. In either position Royce was an asset to the team. He will be back next year.

BUCKY VEST (back) Bucky was another of our agile backs. His runs totaled up many yards for Lee. Buck was a promising kicker and will probably see action along this line next year.

JIM WHITMORE (guard) “Choo Choo” was one of our best guards and also a very good center. He started the season as a center and then was changed to guard. We can look for “Choo Choo” in there again next year.

JIM WILSON (tackle) “Big Jim” has completed two successful seasons of foot¬ ball at tackle. His weight, drive, and excellent spirit were a great asset to the team. This is probably his last year.

BILL WRAY (end) Although it was his first year playing on the varsity, Bill was one of the best ends Lee had. He was always in there and made more than his share of the tackles. Bill was a Junior this year and will be back next year.

CHARLES KURTZ (center) Charlie was one of the best centers Lee has had in a long time. On defense, he was always in on the play, but usually getting through first. Charlie was a sophomore this year and has two more years to play football.

JAY DIXON (guard) Jay may not have added so much weight to the line, but what he lacked in size, he made up in fight and determination. This was Jay’s first year on the team and he will be back next year.

THE FOOTBALL SEASON

About forty prospects turned out for practice this year of which only eight were lettermen, and a few more who had seen limited action. After weeks of hard practice, the team was ready to go. Bill Campbell was elected captain.

The Leemen opened their season at home on September 24, against Buena Vista and defeated them 19-13.

Journeying to Warren County the following week, the Leemen avenged them¬ selves for previous years by defeating the scrappy Wildcats, 13-6.

A night game at Harrisonburg did not prove to be successful for the Leemen, who played a good hard game inspite of the 20-0 score, the Blue-Streaks ran up on them.

The Leemen were defeated again the following week when they played host to Lexington. The score was 20-0.

The following week Lee was host to another eleven, Waynesboro’s “Little Giants.” It was a tight game until the half but in the last half the Little Giants broke though with a 25-12 victory.

Another night game, at Clifton Forge, resulted in the four consecutive set¬ backs of the season. The light, scrappy ball club of Clifton Forge defeated Lee 6-2.

On November 5, the Leemen took on Handley High of Winchester and a fifth setback was in order. The score, Winchester 32, Lee 7.

The Covington Cougars gave Lee its sixth and final setback of the season by defeating them 26-0.

The last game of the season was a muddy contest at Wilson High between the Fighting Leemen and the Green Hornets of Wilson. Lee came out victorious, but topped them only 6-2.

DAN HARRIS (Co-Captain) This was Dan’s second year on the varsity squad. He was an excellent ball handler and about the best defensive player on the team. We lose Dan by graduation.

GROVER VEST (Co-Captain) “Bucky” netted about 248 points this year. He was always a scoring threat and an excellent ball handler. “Buck” always came through at the right time, and we are glad to know he will return next year.

BRUCE RHEA — “Buddy” was the fastest man on this year’s varsity five. Al¬ though he lacked height, he was a dead shot from the iloor. A good play maker, Bruce is one of the few who will not return next year.

CHARLES KURTZ — Charlie was the most improved player on the entire team. Although inexperienced, he was a steady ball player and a good rebound man. Charlie was only a sophomore this year.

WILLIAM WRAY — Bill scored about 237 points this season. He was a good ball handler and an excellent faker. He is a junior this year and will return again next year.

DON CACCIAPAGLIA — Don combined speed and accurate shooting to be of great value to this year’s team. After gaining much experience this season, Don should be ready to go next year.

ERSKINE LESSLEY — Erskine used his size to become a fine rebound man and a scoring threat. His return next year is very promising.

ALFRET CASH — Alfret was always in the thick of the fight and a good man as defense. Although he saw only limited action, he is expected to see more next year.

RAYMOND POWELL- — Raymond was another reserve who saw very little action this year, but because of his height and of the fact he was only a sophomore this year, his future in basketball is promising.

WALLACE SHENE — “Wally” proved to be a steady ball player all year. He was a good shot and an excellent ball handler. He also will return next year.

DAVID ROWE — David gained much valuable experience this year. He is a sophomore who shows promise of making a good ball player.

EDWIN CORBETT— “Ed” was a reserve who will not return next year. A good shot, Ed was of great value to the team.

HENSEL WISEMAN and “BUDDY” CHILDRESS served as managers for this year’s team. Both did their jobs well.

DISTRICT FIVE CHAMPIONS

On a bright sunny afternoon, March 4, 1949, the Fighting Leemen of Robert E. Lee High School, Staunton, Virginia, took a thirty-five mile trip to historic Lexington, Virginia. The Leemen, too, made history by meeting and soundly de¬ feating two very strong opponents. This feat won them the District V Basketball Championship of 1949.

The first opponent for the Leemen was Handley High of Winchester, which was defeated 45-35. In their final round for the championship, the Leemen tangled with their ever keen rivals from Harrisonburg High, and came away with a 43-39 victory.

The record for the season, including the regular schedule, the District V tournament, and the State tournament was 16 wins and 4 losses. During the regu¬ lar schedule, Lee High won all of the first nine games and lost three of the last eight. They won the two District V tournament games and lost their one game in the State Group II tournament.

The Lee team of 1948-1949 was composed of three reserve lettermen from the 1947-1948 team, six from the junior varsity team and three who came out for the first time this year. These men were green, inexperienced and small of stature but their determination to win, their fighting spirit and team work, made them the champions they are.

SPORTSMANSHIP TROPHY

A handsome, all-metal, trophy for sportsmanship was presented to the Lee High School basketball team at the conclusion of the State Group II tournament at V. P. I., on March 12, 1949. The trophy was accepted by Co-Captain Dan Harris, a guard, playing his last year for the Leemen. This award was made on the basis of the team’s conduct on the playing floor and on the V. P. I. campus, their attitude toward the other teams participating, and the reaction of the specta¬ tors to the team itself.

The Leemen won the admiration of practically all of the near 3000 fans who saw them play Virginia High School of Bristol in the first round of the tourna¬ ment. They were the most discussed team of the eight district champions entered, and this was due chiefly to their sensational second half play of the game. At the beginning of the second half the Leemen were behind 21 points, but they staged a great rally to pull within four points of their opponent. The Leemen were given a great ovation when they returned to the floor after a time out and also when the game ended. These things, plus their clean play on the floor, their well behaved manner on the campus, and their friendliness toward everyone, are the things that earned them the coveted sportsmanship trophy awarded by the Virginia Tech Athletic Association.

SUMMARY OF BASKETBALL SEASON

The Lee cagers of ’49 proved to be one of the best teams to represent the school in quite some time. For the first time in about ten years, the “Fighting Leemen’’ copped the District 5 title by defeating Winchester and Flarrisonburg in the district tournament. The team was short and inexperienced, but combining speed, deception, and a remarkable accuracy for scoring points, compiled sixteen wins as against four losses. The season was climaxed with a trip to Blacksburg where the team participated in the Group II state tournament. Although they lost to a strong Bristol five in the opening round, the Leeman were the talk of the tournament and walked off with the good sportmanship trophy there. Our hats are off to Mr. McSwain for another very successful basketball season, and we hope the team of ’50 will be just as successful.
