Thank you so much for the wonderful memories of John W. Daniel school!
I attended there from 1946 until 1952 before transferring to
Newport News High School.
I remember beating chalkboard erasers off the front steps, lunches in the
basement cafeteria,
and getting dressed all in white for the May Day commemoration that took place
on the playground every year.
Lots and lots of memories come alive upon seeing the photo of John W. Daniel.
Teachers - Ms. Rogers, Ms. Martin, Ms. Wilson, and Ms. Moore reappear in my
memory.
Thank you so very much for your
Newsletter.

I found this
book from John W. Daniel School on the internet. It was of particular interest to me because this history book was most likely a part of the curriculum while I attended John W. Thought it might be of interest to share with some of us "oldies, but goodies". |

BACKGROUND:
|
In the late 1800s many publications were produces depicting scenes of the
United States and the world along with glimpses of art from the famous museums of the world. As traveling was accomplished by means of horseback across country, or by steam ship to travel overseas, only the affluent traveled around this beautiful globe we live on. And even for them it was not as easy as it is today. The majority of the population did not travel and relied upon these publications to see what the rest of America and the world really looked like. They became familiar with the famous paintings in Europe's museums from the pictures they saw in these publications. Photography was developed in the mid 19th century and still in its infancy, Printing processes were developed to reproduce these original photographs for publication for the world to see what people, places and the great art masterpieces really looked like. Some of this wonderful historical record has survived for us to study and enjoy today. |
 John Warwick Daniel (5 Sep 1842 - 29 Jun 1910) |
A short biography
from 1895 reads; "As distinctively the representative of old Virginia orators of the present day, Senator John W. Daniel occupies a conspicuous position. He was born in Lynchburgh, Campbell County, VA., September 5, 1842, and comes of a family distinguished in the law and statesmanship and in the conduct of the state's affairs. He received his early education in the schools of Lynchburgh, at Lynchburgh College, and at Dr. Harrison's university and school. He had a gift for languages, and at eighteen had a knowledge of Latin, Greek, French and German. He was but nineteen when the Civil war broke out, and entered the Confederate army at once. He was wounded at the first battle of Manassas in 1861, at Boonesboro in 1862 and at Antietam, and at the Battle of the Wilderness had his leg broken in a charge. He served with marked distinction through the war in the armies of northern Virginia, and at the time of the Battle of the Wilderness was on the staff of General Early. He studied law after the war, and entered immediately upon its practice. Later he wrote "Daniel on Attachments" and "Daniel on Negotiable Instruments," both of which books have become successes. He entered public life in 1869 and served two terms in the Virginia house of delegates. He was a member in the Virginia Senate from 1875 to 1881. He was that year beaten in the race for governor of Virginia, but was elected to Congress in 1885, and during his first session was elected to the United States Senate to succeed Senator Mahone, taking his seat in March, 1887, for the term expiring in March, 1893. In 1891 he was reelected for the term expiring in 1899. The degree of LL. D. has been conferred upon him by Washington and Lee University and the University of Michigan." |

Daniel is
traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heel
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much
Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heel
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
