VOL. 1—NO. 31 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1950 $2.00 Per Year Miller and Thompson Tie For Stock Judging Honors Will Compete' For State Honors At V.P.I. June 19 By Gene Wagner, FFA Adriior Last week Newbill Miller and Gordon Thompspn tied for high honors out of over 100 other FFA and 4-H boys from northern Virginia in the annual FFA—4-H club beef cattle judging contest at Winchester. The lads received $9 in cash awards. Both of these boys are only freshmen in vocational agriculture and in the, writer’s estimation will bear watching during their next three years of FFA work. . Many people think that with the close of school FFA activities cease. This is far from true since the summer offers one of the best times for our varied activities. Nearly every FFA boy has one or more enterprises (such as coni, pigs, poultry, calves, etc.,) oh his 4 home farm which he keeps records on even during summer months. This is an essential part of his agricultural training program. On June 19, a livestock judging team, composed of Edwin Scroggins, Newbill Milter, and Gordon Thompson, along with their coach, Gene Wagner, will go to V.P.I. to participate in the statewide FFA judging contests. Over 1100 boys from all parts of Virginia will attend. On June 26, 18 FFA boys along with 15 home economics girls will leave for the State FFA-FHA 0 summer camp at Smithfleld. They will spend one week here enjoying the usual run of camp life plus a day’s fishing trip. On July 29, Edward Armentrout, Donald Romine, and Edwin Scroggins twill be the guests of the Seaboard Railroad for one week at a forestry training school near Farmville. These boys were selected for their accomplishments in forestry activities during the past school year. Several other FFA boys will be busy taking care of our corn patch during the summer. Our chapter has rented five acres from Mr. John Wirtz on a share basis. The proceeds will go toward next year’s FFA activities. Our entire chapter will have one meeting some time in August to elect officers for the coming year.

Rappahannock News \ Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:-$2.00 a year Another Milestone Last night and Tuesday night wrote finis to the two high schools of Rappahannock. The final commencements have been held. Next year there will be one—Rappahannock County High School. This is progress, that is known. The new consolidated high school will be able to offer advantages that , were impossible in two separate schools. Pupils of the entire ‘ county will be together and learn, while still young, to know the folks in other communities of the county. They will learn that by working together more can be done. There will be countless advantages for the good of all. But let no one think that there was not good in the old system. There are advantages, also, in the smaller school. Those who still advocate return to the one-room red-echoolhouse also have their list of advantages. There are those who think that part of the advantages named now exist in nostalgic recall—and pos. sibly they are correct. Just as the age-old “gimme the good-ole days” always brings a recitation of the advantages, minus the disadvantages. Anyway, it’s a milestone mark* ing a change in Rappahannock. Washington and Sperryville high schools from now on will increase in value with only remembrance as a judging standard. Since most of us have the facility to recall that which is pleasant and forget (that which is unpleasant, the two schools will gain in glamour as the years pass. Next year the problems wijll come hot'and heavy. It will be a change in many ways and some folks will be inclined to criticize just because it is a change. You can always bet your bottom nickel on one thing: he who complains loudest will be the fellow who knows the least about the school. It is the sincere hope of all the citizens of the county who are interested in the , children that this new consolidated school next year will be for the good of all— for children who are future citizens, and for the county as a whole. > Homemakers' News Item —Homemakers—who—want "to brighten up the home by painting the dark woodwork, may hesitate -to do so because they are afraid that the dark finish will bleed through the new finish. Here are some tips on how to paint a surface that has been stained: Sandpaper the surface. Wipe with a cloth dipped in turpentine to remove dust and grease. Apply an undercoat. If the old finish bleeds through, wait until the undercoat is dry, then brush on a coat of thin shellac i shellac and Holiday's Tragedies The Memorial Day holiday toolc its toll in n e p r 1 y 400 dead throughout the nation. Some of the tragedy came close to home with the death of two women in an accident near Madison. Natives of Florida, the daughter and mother were killed, the daughter instantly, and the mother died a few hours later in a hospital. The girl was catapaulted from the car into the other auto. It was not a pleasant sight. Another accident occurred on the same road near Leon Sunday afternoon, with two women injured. Just outside of Orange Saturday a young man ran into the side of a truck killing him almost instantly. All these wrecks begin to make one frightened to even be on the highways. The road was slick Sun• day afternoon. Creeping along at a Casper Milquetoast speed made one realize that no matter how careful the driver might be, the road is not safe from the other fellow. He may be speeding or driving carelessly and crash headlong into you. Accidents are hard to understand. Crusades are waged constantly against carelessness. New laws are passed and enforced to protect man from himself. Safety organizations work night and day, with the full co-operation of everyone. Schools begin Peaching safety to the first graders and never let up a year nor a day until the child is graduated—and still the traffic toll mounts with every holiday. Maybe safety measures are taught until familiarity breeds contempt. Maybe we should neglect all this emphasis on safety and let everyone learn the hard way—by being killed by his own carelessness or the carelePsiyess of others. The Troopers, ambulance drivers, and rescue squad members may have their jobs. I don’t want ’em. And a safe holiday will be one with your feet propped up in -your own home." 1 turpentine). It may require two coats of shellac to cover all spots. Then apply another coat of un* dercoat, and follow it with semigloss paint. * * # Why not try serving wiltedi greens? Here’s the way to prepare them. Melt two tablespoons of drippings in a heavy pan. Then add a little chopped onion and cook until soft and yellow. Stir in 1-cup of vinega^ before adding the washed and cut greens. Cover the pan and heat the mixture for just a few minutes. Then season and serve hot. Dandelion greens are especially good when bacon is added to the dressing. Start off with several slices of bacon instead of the drippings. Fry it crisp, chop it up, and then add the vinegar and greens. -—-* ¥ * Ever French toast those sandwiches you serve with soup or salad? It makes them especially hearty. Use the same egg and milk mixture you use for making French toast. One egg beaten with two tablespoonfuls of milk is enough for four ordinary-sized sandwiches. Don’t soak the sandwiches. Just dip them, and then brown them slowly on both sides in a little hot fat. Cheese, pea.nut-butter, and many meat sandwiches are good French-toasted.

WHAT POWERI WHAT PICKUP I r WHAT PERFORMANCEI STOP At The Atlantic Sign L. B. Dulin, Jr. DISTRIBUTOR Culpeper, Virginia (tIINHI •The Time Hoe Come,’ the Wth-M said . , . School’s out! Roll a few years from your age and it’s cause for shouting and joy. For the boys it’s freedom to sneak off fishing. Of course, you get blown up when you return, because of those jobs left undone, but it isn’t termed “playing hookey” and a fellow can nearly always make up to Mother and get back in her good graces. Pa may get mad about it, but you stand a chance of getting around him, too, if he happens to remember when he was a boy. For tbe girl it’s extra hours of playing time, playing doll-house, roller-skating, games with friends. Of course, there are dishes to wash, peas to shell, and a little potato-bugging to do, but that’s forgotten in the pleasant hours. For tbe teacher—ah! bliss! Life is just one perpetual Saturday and Sunday. There's an extra hour’s sleep in the morning; no worries over the children; no responsibilities! In fact, fbr three whole months they can terra themselves human beings and enjoy just living—that is, if the last few weeks of school didn’t make nervous wrecks of them so that it takes all summer to recover. For the parent—woe is he! The little cherubs ake now underfoot every hour of the day. How do the teachers stand that many of them? How can “Mother’s little angels” think of so many things to do which shouldn’t be done? Why must the call out of the window always be “stop it” and “don't”? Just know that summer .will eventually pass, it always has before. There’ll be the usual cases of poison oak and bee stings, stumped toes and a stone bruise or two. U tne iamuy numoer is one, the whines will be “what can I do?” That’s the time you wish there were more in the family. If the family number is more than one, there will be the usual number of fights. That’s the time you are tempted to pick up a pair of the little darlings and crack their heads together. The exasperated parent can relish the remark of one mother: “Go find Edgar, see what he’s doing, and tell him to stop.” * * * It’s a shame that the teachers can’t be persuaded to collect the stories that they gather during their years of work with the children of the community. One teacher is quoted as saying: “Let me teach your child, and I will tell you more about yourself than you’d dream I know.” Even the personal habits of the family are public knowledge to the teacher. Like the time "the little tyke informed the teacher that his daddy was away from home on a business trip. “How long will he be —goneT^TtBkeFThe teacher, to show her interest. “Three days. He took three shirts.” Another teacher’s story concerns the doctor’s boy. During the daily Bible; reading the boy asked (about thef‘faith, hope, and charity’” passage), “What does charity mean?” “It means love,” was the teacher’s answer. “Well!” exclaimed the boy, “I didn’t know that! My father has charity patients and he don’t love ’em; he just hates ’em.” * * ♦ _ Someone sent me the following clipping on the subject: gossip. It is my express purpose to publish it because I’m certain they could not have meant anything personal. It is my firm conviction that it’s for the benefit of all other people—surely, it could not apply to me? Well, at least, it applies to others, too. “Gossip is the tool of the coward and diversion of the fool. It is like a muddy stream that seeks to find its own level. It is ten thousand times more deadly than a lie, as it is usually founded on half-truths. It thrives in the hearts of the idle and is the enemy of every Christian.

A History of The Schools At Sperryville, Past and Present By H. B. Winfrey Once upon a time there were high schools in Rappahannock County at Washington, Sperryville, Amissville, Flint Hill, Woodville and Belle Meade. By 1923 or thereabouts, the number of such schools in this county had dwindled to two—those at Washington and Sperryville. Beginning with the session of 1923-24,> Sperryville began to offer four years of high school work of the traditional type; English, Mathematics, Latin, History and Science. Ten or .twelve years ago a course in Vocational Agriculture was set up for the boys in each of the two high schools, with | one instructor travelling back and forth from Washington to Sperryville. About five years ago a course in Home Economics was established likewise for the girls in both schools. „ Fiom its first session as a four | year high school until the present one, Spenryville has .been accredited by the State Board of Education. Because of a drop in enrollment below the minimum figure recently established^ Sperryville was, for the session noyj closing, a certified .high school. For many years before the con,'atruction of the Lee Highway, Or U. S. 211, the original building, 'of four rooms, faced the river, and then, as now, year after year, plank boards of the footbridge .echoed with the sound of footsteps of hundreds of not always , eager boys and girls; Following the construction of the new road, close to the schoolhouse, the building, whfch, in 1924 or 1925 had been enlarged by four more rooms, •was moved to its present location, facing the mountains. Few school buildings in all the country have ' a more picturesque setting; the Blue Ridge mountains a mile or so away in front and a branch of the Thornton River forming one _ .Jjoundary of th® school grounds. The local citizens take all this for granted; visitors never cease to comment on the beauty of the surroundings. In 1936, with Federal aid, an auditorium-gymnasium was added at the rear of the main building and this addition has more than justified its cost. With the exception of the two years it was. not in use, because of a disastrous fire, it has served the school and community as a center and meeting place where programs of many kinds have been offered the people of the county. In it have been' held, besides regular school assemblies, church services, plays, movies, basketball games, dances, carnivals and fairs. The school library, which had on its shelves less than a hundred volumes in 1920, now boasts nearly five thbasand bboks.~TETs number includes, of course, books * suitable particularly for pupils in' the primary and elementary grades.' In addition to the bound volumes, the school subscribes to twenty magazines and two newspapers. Many of the adults of Sperryville have been welcome users of this collection—our nearest approach toacommunity library. The school lunchroom, built and equipped by voluntary contributions, has been in operation for five years, and is, to say the least, a great convenience to those patronizing it. For twenty cents, a pupil receives generous servings, well prepared, of meat, vegetables, bread, butter, pasteurized milk, and dessert. Eighteen meals a day are served free to certain students, or are given in payment for work as helpers. Part of the cost of operation of the lunchroom is paid for by federal funds since the twenty cents per pupil does not cover all the expenses. Certain amounts of potatoes, canned vegetables and fruits, dried milk and other commodities are furnished free by the Department of Agriculture. More than twenty years ago, Sperryville High School pioneered among the rural schools in Virginia in a plannled, sustained health program. With medical facilities in the county limited, and dental facilities noa-existant, all*J pupils have been given physical and dental examinations at the beginning of each session and follow-up work has been done in literally hundreds of cases. Since 1928, with never a break or letup, pupils have been carried to dental clinics in Culpeper and Luray, and many boys and girls who had. never previously received any training in, or appreciation of the virtues of health and sanitation, learned about hygiene and health care from their teachers and from visits, inaugurated by the school, to the doctor and the dentist in atmetics, part oi the school s physical education program, Sperry ville has long been noted for its girls’ basketball teams, which have lost only three games in twelve full seasons. In the twenty-five or more years of its existence as a four year accredited high school, approximately two hundred graduates of Sperryville have entered institutions of higher learning, or intobusiness or into careers as homemakers. More than ninety percent of Sperryville graduates who matriculated at college or other advanced schools of all types successfully completed their courses. Many graduates of this school are successful business or professional men and women scattered all over the country; many others are among the leading citizens of Rap. pahannock. , With the session of 1950-1951, Sperryville High School will be consolidated with Washington High School at Washington. This move is in accordance with the nationwide trend in education; A CLASS AT SPERRYVILLE—1909 Abore is pictured a class of the Sperryrille High School during the first year—1909—Mr. Hugh Hite was the teacher. How many can you name? Sperryville School Faculty Past and Present The Sperryville High School faculty member who has the longest period of service to her credit is Miss Della Hitt. Few people of the Sperryville community ever call her surname; “Miss Della” is sufficient to designate this lady who started the majority of people in this village on the road to learning. Miss Della began her teaching career in 1904 when she taught in a one-room log house near the top of the Blue Ridge. A battered stove threw out heat from its sides and from the rusted wash basin used as a top. Toilet facilities there were completely lacking. The big event of a day would occur when a six-mule team hauling to Luray for the Sperryville Tannery would halt long enough for the driver to come in to warm and tell the news from the outside world. Miss Della taught this school for three years, then taught near the foot of the mountain at the Atkirtstown school for four more years. She next took an overflow class from the Sperryville High School. Her schoolroom was the “Old Barroom” located in front of the Sandwich Shop. The next year Miss Della taught in the new school building, and the following session she had charge of fewer and larger schools wherein more courses and more opportunities will be offered. To the stranger or casual visitor, all little schools may appear alike. Those of us who have been a part of this school and community for many years know that appearances are often deceptive. The high esteem in which teachers generally have been held, the excellent co-operaition among parents, teachers and children, the warm hospitality froply ngoroij and enjoyed, the lasting friendships formed with young and old alike, have made teaching in the Sperryville High School a memorab’e experience. FIRST PUBLIC SCHOOL AT SPERRYVILLE—“The Little Red Schoolhouee” Of course the first schools in Sperryville, as elsewhere, were private ones. A family or several families would employ a teacher to instruct the children in one of their homes or in the (teacher's home. At one time the old Baptist church, now the Rappahannock Supply Co-operative building, was used for a school, also for religious services. Then the first public schoolhouse was erected, it was a two-room building known aa “The Little Red School," at' present a part of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Atkins. Pictured above are some of the students at: the school: (Back row, left to right) Ashby Jenkins, Jett Woodaid, Aubrey Johnson, Burnam Hudson, Herbert Johnson, Stockton Bywaters, Charlie Dodson, Ashby Johnson, Ruth Menefee, Sallie C r i g 1 e r, Myrtle Petty, Lilly Hilton, Gertrude Bywaters.

T Jean Brown Valedictorian Joan Kelly Aylor Salutatorian By Joan Kelly Aylor Superintendent Casque, parents, teachers, friends: It is with a very special pleasure that we, the 1950 graduating class of Sperryville High School welcome you to our Commencement exercises. We are glad that you are here to witness the attaining of this goal, toward which we have been working for twelve years. In case there are some in the audience who do not know all of us, allow me to introduce ourselves. First, the president of our class, George Butler, Jr., of Boston, Virginia. Jean Brown, of Sperryville, Carolyn Jenkins ‘ of Woodville, Harry Trescott, Jr., of Sperryville and Joan Kelly Aylor of Sperryville, As you may have heafd at our class night program, we numbered twenty when we entered high school but only five of us are left to graduate. Of the other fifteen four are married, two are .in the armed services, and the rest are working at Various jobs. We five have resisted all of the away-from-school attractions, and are grateful now to our parents and to our teachers for their support and encouragement as we have worked together throughout our school life. We have had to study we admit, but there hds been plenty of time provided for extra curricular activities, such as basketball, baseball, parties, picnics, educational trips and numerous programs for the public— May Day for instance. These good times seem to remain more firmly fixed in - our minds than do any of the hardships we may have endured, and we hope that this program will pro^e to be a pleasant experience which you will hope to remember. I thank you. S.H.S. ATTENDANCE RECORD «**’» A perfect attendance record for - the past session was made by the following pupils at Sperryville: First grade: Roger Lee Anderson, James A. Atkins, Wallace Nethers, Bobby Clater. Second grade: Bobby Jenkins, Shirley Cloud, Joyce Dwyer. Third: Eugene Atkins. Fourth: Hugh Smith Atkins, Julian Brown, Edna Dodson, Jo Anne Dodson, Judith Hawkins, Ned Atkins, Kenneth Clater, Alice Dodson. Fifth: Russell Sisk, Nathaniel Dodson, Bobby Clater, Janet Dodson. Sixth: Faye Black. Seventh: Patsy Clater, Marshall Dodson. Eighth: Jean Brown, Margaret Lauia Dodson, Junior Deal. Tenth grade: Gloria Dennis, and Joye Dennis. By Jean Brown Ladies and gentlemen: This is a fast moving and rapidly changing world in which we live. We have hardly finished dne war—the second in a generation—> now we hear and read of preparations for a third conflict. We know of many new inventions— not all of them for the benefit of mankind. Great strides have been made in transportation and communication. The radio and television carry sound and pictures for countless miles. In our own little community we are faced with changes. Of particular interest to us is the change in our school system. We hope that the consolidation of our two high schools will result in more and better opportunities for the boys and girls of Rappahannock. This change, if it is to produce results we all hope for, will demand the active, .wholehearted support of the people of this county. In spite of all these changes there are some things that remain constant, like the stars in the heavens. They are honesty and sincerity, friendliness, appreciation for the rights of others, lo-'e of parents for children, and love for fathers and mothers— above all, love of God, and His goodness. In a world troubled by conflict, doubt and fear, we can and must, if we are to be saved, put olur trust in the eternal truths of Christianity. They are simple and clear, and they furnish the only true answers to our problems. With this thought in mind, the Class of 1950 bids you farewell.

It has been my extreme pleasure to be associated with the members of the Washington High School for the pfist five montns. During the short period of time, I have learned to know and respect the Links with a great deal of admiration. I’ve had an opportunity to observe what the Links are doing and have done for the education of the Rappahannock youth. If you were to sit on the bench during one of the basketball games, you would know the tremendous amount of enthusiasm and interest that Mr. Link has for Washington High School. Many of the schools that our teams play have many more students than we. Through the excellent coaching of Mr. Link, our school has established a record that would make any school proud. This past basketball season, I had the opportunity ef attending most of the games; I was introduced to many of the visiting coaches. In their, games with Washington High School, they told me that eur boys and girls have shown good sportsmanship and keen competition. This is a mark of distinction for any coach. Mr. Link understands the needs of the type of student that attends our school. Taking this in consideration, he has established a well-rounded curriculum including practical educational subjects that the students can use after leaving school. The boys have the opportunity of taking agriculture and vocational training; the girls learn the fundamentals of cooking and sewing by taking home economics. Both groups have such academic subjects as history, English, mathematics, science, and Latin. From my conversations with the Links, I know that they both are progressive in their thinking. Mrs. Link has expressed an ardent desire that the school have a course in practical chemistry. I understand that Mr. Link has made every effort to supplement the curriculum by including a commercial department. Because of the shortage of teachers, lack of space, and money this has been impossible. The activities of our principal and his wife have not been entirely confined to the school. They have been extremely active in county affairs. Mr. Link has taught Sunday school classes and coached the town basketball teams. Mrs. Link has participated in church work and community socials. During their years here, they have both worked for the betterment of Rappahannnock county. Mr. and Mrs. Link have given eight years of their life toward educating-the-yoath of-this-part of the county. • Through these years, they have been meeting the needs and coping with the problems of hundreds of students. They can leave with the satisfaction of knowing that they have done a grand job in serving the people of the county.

REID We who stand tonight between a happy past and an unknown future have reached not the end but the beginning of our lives. We stop now on the threshold of the future. A huge mountain seems to Loom before us where thousands like us are beginning to climb; it is hard to follow any one person as he climbs, for the paths of all are interwoven. Look at that young boy. Several are discouraging him because they do not believe him to be prepared for the journey. They beg with him to gather provisions. But he completely ignores their pleadings, he knows what is best for his life and the glittering heights a. e beckoning him. In a great burst of speed he starts up the mountain. He passes many who have been climbing for a long time. Th» y caution him to slow down, but with a laugh of pity for their stooped shoulders and labored steps, he hastens on. The heights seem to be almost within his grasp. When suddenly he slows down, he appears to be growing tired, the $ocks are sharp, the way is rugged, hunger and thirst weakens his body, there are no provisions. He plods on and on until finally he can go no further. The passing throng does not allow him to remain uere. He must go onward or back. Slipping and stumbling he slides to the foot of the mountain. For a few minutes he lies there motionless, unnoticed. Then two friendly climbers pick him up. They bathe his wounds and give him water and food. Refreshed, he decides to begin the climb anew. Again he refuses to take provisions for he’s going to take a short cut—he’ll reach the heights in a fewfroiirs. The short cut leads him on and on, hours pass, still he has nob reached the top. Fatigue is shortening his step. Suddenly a deep wave of regret sweeps over him as he realizes that he has only been going around in circles. With a wail of despair he smiles to his friends, pleading for help — but there is no help. He.e is another young man. Let’s watch him as he begins his climb. H6 seems to be somewhat older than the other youth. He is carrying a knapsack over his shoulder which is apparently filled with provisions for the long journey. Waving goodbye to his companions, the youth begins his climb—with agility and ease he goes higher and higher over that seem impassable to us beholding him, vnding foot holes in almost solid layers of stones. Frequently ne stops to renew his energy with a cool drink of water or food from the knapsack. His hands are cut by jagged sticks, his knees are torn open when he stumbles into a leaf-covered hole. There are but a few climbing with him now. The others have found the undertaking too difficult and have fallen by the wayside. Shielding ihs eyes from the sun, he looks around him. Choosing a path he moves upward. Not worrying about whether he can surmount the difficulties in the way for he knows he must and he wilL His eyes are on the goal. We who have just finished high school are beginning to climb this mountain. At the summit lies success, not measured in our minds by dollars and cents, by power and prominence,, but in our hearts by what we have contributed to thq advancement of mankind.' Let us not be like the first youth who having made no prepay rations, gathered no provisions, found the way too hard, the heights too distant. Nor shall we seek a short cut, for there are no short cuts to true success. Rather let us be dike the second youth who went forth well prepared. On the way we shall stop to renew our energy, to feed our souls as well as our bodies. We shall never be too busy climbing to stop and help a fellow vclimber in distress. We shall overturn those armed persons who stand on a level of the mountain of life forcvng people of a. certain race or religion or a certain class, to stoj> climb Perfect Attendance At Washington High School Listed below are students of Washington High School with perfect attendance records, and their grade and number of years.

We shall dare to venture forth into the world, to explore the unknown, to think as our souls and hearts dictate. _ Although the way may be narrow and the barriers high, <we shall ever keep our feet on the upward path and our eyes on the goal. As we the Seniors of 1950 leave Washington High School, a deep wave of realization sweeps over us that we are not on the heights but climbing. Salutatory Address Delivered At W. H. S. By Lucy Mm Smith Mr. Link, Mr. Gasque, Senator Guest, members of the board of education and faculty, parents, classmates, and friends, on behalf of the class of 1950 I am happy to welcome all who have, gathered, this evening for our commencement. This is the important event of our lives up to now and a major turning point. When we entered high school as freshmen we knew approximately what we would be doing for the next four years. Our lives were set up on a definite pattern. Each September we returned to classes and for the next nine months followed the same plan of living and sharing of common interests. We have felt a strong allegiance to our school, especially during all athletic contests. Every student has felt a thrill of pride each time our school has been ahead t in the league of baseball or basketball, and we have been very proud each time a fellow student has won an honor. There is an answer too for those who say that in their day boys ana girls came to school to learn, and not to fritter away their time in social gatherings. - Educators have, discovered that the student who goes to school, attends his classes and then goes straight home is missing an important part of his education. After all what does education., really mean? It means the training and developing of young people into mature men and women •who will be able to cope with the complex problems of life. They must not only be interested with academic knowledge, but they must also be given actual experience of meeting real situations. By working with students their own age and with adult advisors they acquire important qualities and abilities that are as valuable to them as anything they may learn from a book. During the past four years we have thought of ourselves first of all as a part of this school. Suddenly, however, we realize we are leaving this behind . . . the unit, the guidance, the school fun. Each of us now becomes a separate individual looking forward to. his own future. Although we will always remember our school days as some of the happiest of our lives and will never forget many school friendships, after we leave thisauditorium tonight we will be on our own. What will be the place each will take in the world? We hope to show in time that our high school work has prepared us to take part in the progress of civilization and the never ending quest for peace. As we welcome you to our graduation exercises we want to express our deep appreciation for the sacrifices and consideration our parents and advisors have given us. We now realize that great steps can be taken toward a better MNHMMIIIUNmimNUlHINIIIIINHinmHnmiNHmiHNIUllll world. It is oar duty to see that wo do go forward. Mrs. E. D. Wright visited relatives in Washington, D. C., for several days this week.

Soil Saver Notes Sixty farm ponds have been constructed in Culpeper and Rappahannock counties during the past six yean. The ponds range in size from 0.3 acre to 31 acres and comprise a total area fo 65 acres. Three additional ponds are under construction at the present time and many are under consideration in both counties. Proper fertilization of ponds is of utmost importance in maintaining the best conditions for fish culture. During periods of heavy rainfall which may cause the fertilized water in the pond to be replaced by fresh water, additional fertilizer should be applied. Normally, 1500 lbs. of 8-8-4 or its equivalent per acre is an adequate application applied during the seven warm months of the year. . Considerable misunderstanding seems to exist as to when ponds should be fished. Many pond own. ers are of the opinion that fishing should be limited during spawning season. This is true only in the case of Bass until they have spawned the first time. Large mouth Black Bass do not spawn until they are approximately eight inches long, therefore the original stockers should not be removed from the pond until they have spawned. Bream may be taken any time during the year without damage to the population. H. H. Hutcherson of Winston has constructed another open ditch drainage system on his dairy farm near the Tea Room. Mr. Hutcherson said he could not afford to have wet, swampy areas in his pasture and crop fields, and he is eliminating them as fast as possible. Soil Conservation Service technicians assisted Mr. Hutcherson in laying out and designing the drainage system. Construction work was done by a local contractor. County News Notes and Mrs. R. H.
