Title A name given to the resource Rifle Squad Subject The topic of the resource Massanutten Academy (Woodstock Va) Description An account of the resource This photograph shows the Massanutten Academy's rifle squad in 1940. Due to the military nature of the institution rifle training was standard for each student. The 1940 school yearbook noted it “was practically continuous during the first and second terms.” To improve the quality of their student’s marksmanship, a new system was introduced where the entire school would receive enhanced training and then compete to be on the school’s rifle team. This was apparently successful, and the school observed it “made for better shooting in the cadet corps as a whole.” However it did not translate into success in inter-school competitions. To meet R.O.T.C. requirements, the school had to send a team to a regional shooting match. Cadets who outshot their academy cohorts were outmatched at this competition and placed eighth out of ten schools present.

Title A name given to the resource Varsity Swimming Subject The topic of the resource Massanutten Academy (Woodstock Va) Fouts, Leslie "Les" Jacob (1901-1979) Description An account of the resource In 1940 the Massanutten Academy’s Yearbook noted this varsity swim team’s record was “enviable in the best inter-scholastic swimming circles.” The school had dominated at eight swim meets throughout the mid-Atlantic and over fifty teams, including freshmen swimmers from North Carolina State University and the University of Virginia. Ultimately they were defeated by Mercersburg Academy at the National Interscholastic swim meet in Philadelphia. However, the school could take pride in the fact they won three different races at that completion and received the George Malphas trophy for the fastest relay team. Team members for that year were, from left to right starting in the rear, Captain L.J. Fouts (coach) and Cadets K. Klein, D. Anderson, Brooke, Trumble, Hardman, R. Clark, D. Boyer, Hobert, Siwa, and Tilley.

Title A name given to the resource A riding class on a jaunt through the woods Subject The topic of the resource Massanutten Academy (Woodstock Va) Description An account of the resource Little was recorded about horse-back riding at Massanutten Academy in 1940. Apparently most of it was done at Camp Lupton, the academy’s recreation center and maneuver grounds along the Shenandoah River east of town. In addition to camping facilities, large lodges, and ample swimming, the grounds offered equestrian trails that the cadets used on a regular basis. Riding classes were also offered and numerous students took advantage of the opportunity to become successful horseman. In conjunction with the school’s R.O.T.C. program, much of this was done to prepare students to use the horse in armed conflict, something that seems obsolete when compared to the mechanized state of warfare at the time. Camp Lupton would continue to serve as Massanutten Academy’s outdoor facility until late in the 20th century when the camp was closed. In 2013 it was donated to the Commonwealth of Virginia and is slated to become a state park.

Title A name given to the resource Stonewall Jackson Gymnatsics Subject The topic of the resource Stonewall Jackson High School (Quicksburg Va) Gymnastics Description An account of the resource For several years during the 1960s and 1970s, Stonewall Jackson High School fielded a competition gymnastics team. At the time, it and cheerleading were the only two sports offered to girls at the time. While information is sketchy, it appears that the 1966 team, pictured above, had a successful year. Their yearbook reported they participated in the state gymnastic meet in Roanoke. There Debbi Winoker one the tumbling competition. Shen also placed fifth in the tumbling division and Carolyn Lutz placed seventh in tumbling. The article describing their competitions noted it was their “most successful season.” Based on the photographs in the annual, it appears that the 1966 gymnastics team was a very whimsical group. Their pictures are the most carefree of any sports teams pictured. Despite this, gymnastics would not continue as a sponsored sport in the county and it is no longer offered at any local school.

Title A name given to the resource Order to Report- Samuel L. Spiggle Subject The topic of the resource World War, 1914-1918 Spiggle, Samuel Shenandoah County (Va) Description An account of the resource On September 3, 1917 Shenandoah County's draft board issued this order to report to Samuel L. Spiggle of Lantz Mills VA. Though only considered an alternate at the time of this order, Mr. Spiggle did enter the US Army and served throughout the First World War. His unit, the 80th Infantry Division was activated in September 1917 and arrived overseas in June 1918. It was present at the First Battle of the Somme, the Meuse-Argonne offensive, and the Battle of Saint-Mihiel. It suffered a total of 6,029 casualties during these campaigns and was deactivated in May of 1919. The system that had been established by the US government to conscript soldiers to fill divisions like the 80th relied on the participation of local draft boards. Established members of the community and local government officials were selected to serve on these boards. They were responsible for randomly selecting residents to fill the county's quota and for evaluating the ability of these residents to serve in the armed forces. Shenandoah County's board met at the Historic Courthouse. According to his draft card, issued in June of 1917, Samuel Spiggle was employed by the Virginia Highway Department as a road worker and belonged to the Union Forge Methodist Church in Lantz Mills. He had been born on August 22 1895 and was of medium build and height and had black hair and brown eyes.

Title A name given to the resource Letter, J.S. Patterson Jr. to Samuel Spiggle Subject The topic of the resource World War, 1914-1918 Description An account of the resource This letter was sent from J.S. Patterson to Samuel Spiggle on October 2, 1919. Both were members of the 80th Infantry Division during the First World War and this piece of correspondence discusses efforts to locate old comrades and their life after the war. As the letter indicates, veterans felt a need to connect with the individuals the served with after the war had ended. The experiences they shared transcended geographic boundaries and the differences created in ordinary life. Spiggle, or "Spig", was a farmer while Patterson was a government employee. Yet the jokes and experiences referenced in this letter tie them together. These connections were especially important at the time since very few people understood how the war effected those who experienced it. Veterans relied on each other for support as they returned to civilian life. Organizations such as the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars were formed by veterans to serve in this capacity. Samuel Spiggle and many of the other residents of Shenandoah County who fought in the First World War joined the Veterans of Foreign Wars Massanutten Post in Edinburg. When he died in 1960 they showed their support by attending the service together. In addition, the majority of his pallbearers were members of his army unit.

Like other war related activities, like Civil Defense clubs, scrap drives, and bond sales, they became a way for residents to participate in the war even if they were not directly involved in the fighting.

Title A name given to the resource Greetings of the Season Subject The topic of the resource World War, 1939-1945 Shenandoah County (Va) Description An account of the resource This Christmas greeting and prayer appeared on the front page of the Shenandoah Herald on December 19, 1941. It reflected on the military service of many county residents and the separation that caused during the holidays. As the article notes, many county residents were already serving around the world. The peace time draft, begun in September of 1940, had already called up many residents before the war began. This, combined, other efforts to place the United States on a war footing before Pearl Harbor, and a lack of rationing that would dominate the next several holidays, meant that Christmas in 1941 was not that much different than the one that proceeded it. Even the Shenandoah Herald was relatively the same. News articles still focused on local stories and social events. The issue following Pearl Harbor only included two articles relating to National Defense.

Title A name given to the resource Japan's Treacherous Assault Subject The topic of the resource World War, 1939-1945 Description An account of the resource This editorial appeared in the December 8, 1941 edition of the Northern Virginia Daily. Published in response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, it gives insight into how the local community reacted to the assault.  The article echoes sentiments expressed by the entire nation. References to a "treacherous attack" that occurred while the two nations were discussing peace were popular across the country. The idea that the bases attacked were prepared, while known to be false today, was also believed among most citizens who lacked information in the days immediately after the attack.  At the end of this piece, the editor expresses his belief that the war would be long and difficult. While many across the country may have thought the war would end quickly, the Northern Virginia Daily had been writing about the idea of an extended war long before Pearl Harbor. Once the attack occurred, the paper and most local residents quickly accepted the fact that the conflict would define their lives for the next several years.

It notes that war had been declared before Christmas but encourages individuals to still buy while prices were low. This advertisment highlights the fact that despite the attack on Pearl Harbor life as normal continued for many in the Shenandoah Valley for many months. Most goods were still available without restrictions, Christmas sales were still on, and the draft was still operating at its peace time level. Individuals knew rationing and other controls would soon be implemented but for now they were determined to continue with life as they knew it. Even the front page news articles had changed little. For months the headlines had been dominated by war news from around the world and the United State's military buildup. The only major change was the reports described the involvement of US troops in combat instead of those from other countries. While things would change as the war progressed, the weeks immediately after Pearl Harbor in Shenandoah County were much more like the years of peace preceding them than the war years to follow.

Only 12 days before American troops had entered Buchenwald and liberated over 21,000 prisoners. There was extensive news coverage of this camp since the famous journalist Edward R. Murrow arrived and broadcast a report on the camp on April 15th. Certainly the Northern Virginia Daily's readers would have been shocked by these reports. This editorial expresses the paper's disbelief all the horrors they had heard were true. Yet, as time would tell, most turned out to be fact. The so called "horror tales of the Middle Ages" would be something the readers, and us, will never forget.

Title A name given to the resource Ration Book Subject The topic of the resource World War, 1939-1945 Shenandoah County (Va) Wolfe, Neva Landis, India Description An account of the resource On December 11, 1941 rationing began in the United States when the government created 7,500 ration boards around the country to limit the sale of tires and other rubber products. Between that date and 1946 sales of hundreds of other items, including food, sugar, gasoline, toothpaste, bicycles, and flashlights would be limited. During this period each citizen was issued a ration coupon book. Inside were stamps that individuals would use when making purchases. These would entitle the individual to anywhere between 50 and 75% of what was considered to be normal consumption. People involved in war production or essential services, such as Civil Defense, firefighting, and medicine received additional items. This specific ration book was a part of the second series issued. These were the first books to include food. Red books limited meats while blue books covered processed foods. The recipient of this book was Neva Bernice Wolfe who lived west of Mt. Jackson and later moved to Arlington. It was signed by her sister Celia Funkhouser for unknown reasons. The official responsible for issuing the card was India Landis, a local school teacher from Mt. Jackson who died in 1972.

Title A name given to the resource Arion Store Subject The topic of the resource Quicksburg (Va) Description An account of the resource The photograph shows the Arion family on the porch of their store in Quicksburg Virginia. From left to right is an unidentified man, Worthington Arion, Catherine Arion, Bessie Arion, William Arion, and Marvin D. Arion. This family would operate this Quicksburg during the 1920s and 1930s. Their enterprise sold plows, shoes, gasoline, dry goods, machinery and numerous other items to serve the local farming community. An oral history interview notes it was a place where “you could get anything and if you went in there and he didn’t have it, he’d find it somewhere.” Three other similar enterprises also served the community during that period. The store also housed the community’s post office during the Republican administrations of the time period indicating William was a leader in the local party. Today Quicksburg is still home to a post office, one of the few unincorporated communities on the county to retain that service. However, it no longer supports the same number of commercial establishments. Easier transportation, a changing economy, and population shift to larger towns meant the closure of many country stores.

Title A name given to the resource Commencement Program Subject The topic of the resource Strasburg High School (Va) Description An account of the resource On May 20, 1927 Strasburg High School’s seniors graduated during commencement exercises held at the Strand Theatre. This invitation was one of numerous cards ordered by the class’ 38 graduates. Originally the event seems to have been planned for June 3rd, but an insert notes the date was moved to May 20th. At the time, attending High School was a privilege and a sign of a family’s economic prosperity. Students had to pay tuition to continue their education beyond the seventh grade. Those who lived in the county also had to provide their own transportation. Only a few families had the means to provide these funds and to keep their children out of the workforce for four years. So these students would have been members of the town’s most prosperous families. Their diplomas would have provided a fast track into business, government jobs, local politics, and leadership positions. Over time this system would change, and the county began to provide free education through grade 12. Today a high school diploma is considered a right of all and a necessity for almost every job. The students from 1927 would have been pleasantly surprised.

Title A name given to the resource Story of Our Flag Subject The topic of the resource Flags--United States--History Flags--United States Lichliter Family Description An account of the resource Sometime during the First World War this story was written about the United States flag. Though the story is undated, its reference to troops going “over the top” in France indicates it was composed during that conflict. Most likely it was produced by a member of the Lichliter family who lived in Strasburg Virginia. During the first part of the 20th century many American were worried about a lack of patriotism among citizens. The transition to a new industrialized economy, migration of individuals to the city, the introduction of new forms of media such as magazines, and mass produced paperbacks, and the birth of new ideologies such as socialism caused many to believe the American way of life was disappearing. This concern would continue before, during, and after World War One as the world’s political climate changed dramatically. To combat this perceived decline, patriotism was introduced into the classroom. Founding tales such as George Washington and the cherry tree and Betsy Ross and the National Flag became part of the educational curriculum. This story was most likely a part of that effort and includes many of these stories. The language used also indicates the fears of those who felt patriotism was dying were largely unfounded since whoever the author was indicated they still had a strong feeling of “reverence and love for our flag.” Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Lichliter Collection Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Shenandoah County Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource ca. 1917-1918 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Not to be republished without permission.

Title A name given to the resource Shenandoah Valley Drive In Pamphlet Subject The topic of the resource Shenandoah Valley Drive In (Woodstock Va) Woodstock (Va) Drive-in theaters-Virginia-Woodstock Description An account of the resource In 1949 the Shenandoah Valley Drive In Theatre opened just south of Woodstock Virginia. The theater had a single screen, large concession stand, and could accommodate 300 cars. This operation opened at the time when Drive-In Theatres were becoming exceedingly popular. All across the country individuals flocked to these theatres where they could enjoy movies from inside their own car. Families enjoyed the fact they could view a film while taking care of babies and small children without disturbing other patrons. Teenagers found them to be ideal date sites. During the 1970s the popularity of these sites began to decline. Competition from televisions, VCRs, and video rentals increased. Rising fuel prices, the introduction of daylights savings time, and growing operating costs reduced profit margins for these seasonal businesses. Shenandoah Valley Drive In fell victim to these factors and closed in 1983. During the almost 40 years it was in operation, the theater built quite a following. Locals retain many strong memories of watching movies at the site, visiting the concession stand, and enjoying the social aspects of the theatre. In 2000 a self-storage company purchased the land and demolished the screen and remaining buildings.

Title A name given to the resource Henkel Educational Print Subject The topic of the resource Henkel Family New Market (Va) Description An account of the resource A vast majority of European immigrants who came to Shenandoah County had a strong German background. With them came the Lutheran faith and the strong desire to preserve their heritage. The Henkel family of New Market built a printing business designed to serve this constituency. They mass produced German bibles, pamphlets, newspapers, and other works. One of their most notable works was the “ABCs of Instruction for Girls and Boys of the Lutheran Faith.” It was designed to teach children of these German immigrants in a way that maintained their cultural heritage in a country known for assimilation. The book included scores of drawings such as the one above that helped pupils learn both German and English words. The images that were used in this work were simple and wholesome in appearance. This reflected both the inexpensive, rudimentary printing machinery used by the Henkels and the Germanic cultural beliefs that centered around the simple lifestyle. The picture associated with school children promotes the subservient, dutiful children and the family matron fulfilling her duty to educate her children. What lessons do pictures teach us today?

Title A name given to the resource Lichliter Caricature Subject The topic of the resource Lichliter Family Strasburg (Va) Description An account of the resource Sometime between 1900 and 1925, one member of the Lichliter family produced this drawing. Unfortunately, whoever was responsible failed to leave any information behind. What we do know is that the Lichliters lived on Washington Street in Strasburg. The family consisted of William, who worked for the B&O Railroad at the Strasburg Junction, Elizabeth, and their children William, Zelda, and Pauline. Based on its location in our collection, it was most likely produced by one of the children probably during school. It would have been unacceptable for students to produce caricatures like this or to do anything considered “unproductive.” Today many students produce similar artwork in a less restrictive atmosphere.
