The 1940 SENTINEL

LAWRENCEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL LAWRENCEVILLE, VIRGINIA

An annual has been the dream of each senior class of Lawrenceville High School for several years. We hope that this, the first volume of The Sentinel will be a fulfillment of that dream and a guard over your memories in the years to come. May it be a source of pleasure as you read it and relive your high school days.

We, the Senior Class, in appreciation of the wholehearted support and splendid cooperation of the student body of the Lawrenceville High School, do in this year, 1940, dedicate the first copy of our annual, The Sentinel, to our Alma Mater.

R. Jefferson Jones, Principal

The education that has been offered you here is not so valuable as the education that you must get for yourselves. The things that are most worth while you must work out and achieve alone. Your education must not stop where it is. May you ". . . find tongues in trees, books in running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.” We hope that we have given you certain tools, certain standards, and certain guides that will greatly aid you in your future achievements.

Grave responsibilities will be upon you. How you meet them will reflect our guid- ance; it will also determine whether you will be an asset or a liability to mankind. I think I know how you will meet those responsibilities.

Shakespeare has said, "Sweet are the uses of adversity”; nevertheless, I wish for each of you the joy and success that will make your life happy.

Things to Remember at L. H.S

1939-1940

F. F. A. CHAPTER BEGUN

For the first time in the history of L. H. S. the school activities include an F. F. A. Chapter or a "Future Farmers of America” organization. This was begun in Lawrence- ville during September under the able leadership of Mr. J. M. Huffman and it has proved of much value to the school.

The boys belonging to this class held a Father and Son Banquet in February. In March they presented a minstrel entitled "Black Face Comedies” in Lawrenceville and this performance was later given at Brodnax.

PLAY CONTEST SPONSORED

The Hi-Y Club sponsored a play writing contest during the month of October in an effort to discover hidden talent in the school. Prizes were offered for the best mystery and comedy. Amilie Segar, Mary Tait, and Robert Morris were the fortunate pupils and the skits of the latter two were presented in chapel.

FIRST ANNUAL PUBLISHED

The possibility of having an annual at L. H. S. has been discussed for several years. The graduating students of 193 9 left to their successors the privilege of publishing an annual. After quite a bit of consideration and labor, the Sentinel has been completed and put on sale.

AMATEUR PROGRAM

Under the sponsorship of the Hi-Y Club and the Diversified Occupation Class an amateur program was held in the High School auditorium April 16. The program was most enjoyable.

S. P. A. FEATURED BY BOW-WOW

The school paper, the Bow-Wow, has benefited by an entirely new and distinctive news service during the past year. This association is known as the School Press of America cr the S. P. A. It operates on the same order as the A. P. of the city and state newspapers.

Every school belonging to this organization sends a copy of each of its papers to the S. P. A. From these, the best articles are chosen to be printed in the School Press, a copy of which is sent to each participating school. Any school may re-print these news stories, editorials, features, or jokes and stamp them "S. P. A.”

PLAYS PRESENTED

Instead of the usual Senior Play, three one-act plays were given at Lawrenceville in the spring of 1940. The sophomores gave "The Perfect Gentleman,” a comedy; the juniors presented the mystery, "The White Phantom” and the seniors gave a drama entitled "Three Pills In a Bottle.”

FACULTY WINS OVER VARSITY SQUAD

As a climax to the 1939-1940 basketball season, the High School faculty was vic- torious over the regular team by a score of 33-12. R. D. (Blimpy) Hayes, the rotund gentleman of the sophomore class and Julian Scarbrough, the school’s runt, acted as substitutes for the faculty.

S. C. A. MEETING IN LAWRENCEVILLE

The yearly meeting of the Student Ccoperative Association or the S. C. A. took place in the High School auditorium on March the twenty-first. Delegates from the counties of Brunswick, Lunenburg, Halifax, Mecklenburg, and Charlotte gathered for the all-day meeting. Entertainment was provided for all by the program which had "music” as its theme.

ATHLETIC YEAR OUTSTANDING

The Lawrenceville "Bulldogs” emerged victorious in seven of their eleven football games during the ’39 season. The highlight of the season was the defeat of their rival, Blackstone, for football supremacy in this section. The basketball team broke even in the won and lost column. Plans are being made for a baseball team and a schedule has been arranged.

In January Coach Murray from the University of Virginia spoke to the players at a banquet and on this occasion the new jackets were presented to the proud players.

HI-Y CLUB ACTIVITIES

Nine members of the Hi-Y Club accompanied by their leader, Mr. White, went as delegates to the state conference, which was held in Lynchburg during the week-end of February the sixteenth.

Their Father and Son Banquet was a great success and the other annual banquet more than equaled it. The latter was held the last week in April and all the boys and their dates had a splendid time.

GLEE CLUB ACTIVITIES

Throughout the year the White Glee Club under the direction of M. G. White was extremely active and they received many invitations to sing. Besides the singing in chapel, the group rendered enjoyable programs in LaCrosse, Alberta and Dolphin; it entertained the Junior Women’s Club and on numerous occasions sang in the Lawrence- ville churches.

During music week the club presented a Japanese operetta entitled "Miss Cherry- blossom.” The principal parts were portrayed by Betty Elam Elmore, Garland Clarke, Barbara Peterson, Downing Tait, Andrew Bailey and Robert Morris.

The costumes and the setting were lovely and "Miss Cherryblossom” was most successful.

The major purpose of education is to prepare you to participate intelligently in, and contribute helpfully to, the affairs of vital interest to your community, state and nation. In this, your first duty is to your home community. If the citizens of each community are enthusiastically interested in its welfare and are willing to give unselfishly of their time and ability to the end that it may be a happier, more prosperous, and more progressive community, it follows that the state and nation will share correspondingly in these benefits.

The major purpose of The Lawrenceville Chamber of Commerce is to advance the interests of Brunswick County and its citizens, to the end that Brunswick County may be a happier, more pros- perous, and more progressive community.
