When we don our caps and gowns as the first class to graduate with twelve grades, we know that our responsibil- ities and senior privileges have taught us to be better citizens of tomorrow.

Qfe CLASS .HISTURY AY BACK IN '35 on a sunny September morn almost 125 snaggled toothed six-year-old young- sters with angelic looks on their faces entered the Primary School on Parsonage Street. Slowly our halos began to disappear as we entered the S. L. Sheep School. We spent part of our time in the old S. L. Sheep School but due to the building being condemned we were forced to hold classes in the Primary and High Schools the following years. Proudly we returned to the new S. L. Sheep School building for the latter part of the sixth grade. The next year we had the first taste of journalism in publishing the S. L. Sheep News and we displayed our talents as the leads in the Dixie Land Minstrel. Then we were sad for it was spring and we must leave our new school which we had come to love dearly. After looking forward to happy high school days we were slightly disillusioned, for on our first day we were ruined by the lipstick, shoe polish, and perfume of the Sophomores. The eighth grade wasn't too bad with the help of the understanding Safety Patrol and our discovery that teachers are humans. Alt.hough some considered it an honor that we were to be the first class to have a 12-year course, we were eager to be Freshmen and a real class in E.C.H.S. But to our amaze- ment there was lilttle difference during our Freshman year. We played the role of Juniors our Sophomore year and successfully presented a mystery play. ttDrums of Death" and sponsored a magazine drive. Therefore we were able to honor the Seniors with the Sophomore-Senior Dance which was held in the Virginia Dare Hotel Ballroom. Due to the small Senior class, we published The Loudspeaker and The Spotlight the next year. We dramaftized "The Little Minister" and gave a gay festival, the Junior Carnival. Again the Virginia Dare Ballroom was the scene of much merry-making, our .Junior-Senior. After ll. years of struggle we have finally reached the 12th rung of the ladder of achievement. To this rung we are proud to add the Senior play, "Strictly Formal," and the successful pulolica- tion of The Louclspenker and The Spotlight. We realize that what we are today is greatly due to the guiding hands of the faculty and to them we are grateful. 'Behind us are many happy days whose memories will linger on. Before us is a challenge to make the future of the Class of 1947 even more successful than it has been in the past.

L If UW TLuf2'lw'Se PRUPHEEY ITH THE ASSURANCE that the future of all our classmates of '47 would be revealed this very night of May 30, 1957 Barbara Pearson and Charles Pritchard relaxed but possessed a sense of anxiety. The world famous Prince Kris Tal Ball prepared for the ordeal. Lights dimmed and attention centered upon the words of the great swami. "I see," he said in mystifying tones, "I see fame and happiness for your fellow classmates. Let us look together into the magic ball." Upon looking closely the two learned that Glenn Leigh Cox and Jo Ann Pinner were destined to put into practice experience gained in the Student Cooperative Government. Both will be can- didates for president of the United States - Glenn Leigh for the "No Work, All Play" Party and Jo Ann for the "Knock 'Em Cold" Party. Planning 'to be right up there with them are William Peabody and Robert Midgett, running for seats in the Senate. "I seef' the Prince continued, "a farm in Arizona with a colonial home designed vby the owner in his high school days. Samuel Brown and the former Annette Ward are t.here with four children who play the clarinet and trombone with expert precision. They are talking about Wilton Bray, who was foreman of carpenters in charge of constructing their home, and Louise Stanley and Carol Thurecht, who were the interior decorators. In decorating this home these girls made names for themselves. Beulah Ammeen and Doris Twifond are employed here as maids and -Lillian Gover is a modern governess for t-he children, who enjoy their dancing lessons which are taught by Margaret Williams. William Norman Wilson tends the Brown's garden, of which a picture of his tulip path has appeared in the Modern Home and Garden magazine." Without too much astonishment on fthe part of Barbara and Charles and too much effort on the part of Prince Kris Tal Ball, the magic of New York City was brought into the room and a glimpse into the future of more seniors came for-th. "In New York City Judy Jones is prophesied to be a critic of Broadway plays as well as a noted artist of the year 1957. Hollie Webster left Faye Liverrnan and Romona Jennette on the West Coast in Hollywood where they are busy starring in the movies. Hollie came to New York to take the lead in Anne Adams' newest hit. In nearby theaters Mink Sawyer and Carolyn Phillips are teamed in another hit. Hilda Austin is contemplating taking Porky and her children, Lamb. Hambone, Beef Chop, and Sirloin back to Manteo to introduce them to grease paint in The Lost Colony Production. 'AA night club in New York is beginning to take form," his voice announced. "The owner is J. B. Henderson. His wife, the former Eleanor Hettrick, is singer in the night club, while Dorothy Lee Burgess, Rachel Dunbar, Suzanne Griiiin, and Rose Marie Heath have all turned chorus girls backing up Mrs. Henderson. Their husbands have to watch the stage door, too. The orchestra leader is Ed Sample who has in his band Carl Anderson playing the piano and Frances Chesson showing her talent by making those drums really sound big time. A motion picture is soon to be released on the 'Bee Hive,' the name of J. B.'s Place." Waving this hands to clear away the vision, the Prince held them in the air, "Joe Ferrell, play- boy to end all playboys, is a regular patron of the night spot and alternately brings with him two models, Rose Marie Askew and Helen Alderman who has her eyes on a slick gambler from the West Side-namely, Clarence tBig Bossl Castellow. "In Baltimore Doctors Julian Ross and Nellie Forbes have established the largest hospital in the nation offering treatment for students with insomnia. Included on fthe hospital staff of nurses who administer Vitamin S to patients are Lescelles Davis, Anne Jeralds, Mildred Cuthrell, June Burgess, Virginia Layden, and Virginia Lee Brickhouse. Leo Sweatte is head janitor of this huge hospital. He handles his job as a college graduate should." The scene shifted to Hollywood and the preview of the picture of the screen's latest comedy team, Inez Askew and Hilbert Harris is being shown. "Headlines are announcing scientific discoveries made by Professor Joyce Bailey with her assistant mathematician Norman Armstrong," he resumed after a pause. "I believe this is a travel- ing salesman I see. It is Robert Charles Hopkins. Beefy is salesman for the Brush Up Your Tech- nique Brush Company. "Tillers of the soil are Walter Davis and Ray Etheridge. Ray farms at Weeksville while Wal- Twenty-eight ter has an orange and grapefruit orchard in California. The former Anne Bennett has persuaded her husband, Elmo, to continue living at Weeksville so Florence Small can remain her neighbor. "Earl Davenport has placed aside his dream of being a professional ball player to become the best liked milkman in Columbia. "Elizabeth City claims its share of the class of '47. I see a recently constructed high school and the principal's office is occupied by Jimmy Preston. There is a teachers' meeting and I see Jane Swindell, teacher of historyg Estelle Jones, teacher of commercial studiesg and Mary Ellen Blades, librarian. Physical education teachers are Betty Lou Bell and Bruce Reynolds. The teams they coach are reported to be the best in the history of the high school. t'The S. lL. Sheep School serves better -meals now that Kathleen Riddick is dietician and Eu- gene Williams cooks all the food. Philip Ray Dixon in new police uniform has his favorite post of duty on Road Street stopping cars for his children and others to get across to school. "The mayor of the town is Jimmy Crowe," the Prince continued, "and prominent lawyers include Glenn Carlin and Russell Hill. At this moment they are pleading with Judge Doc Ethe- ridge who had to be awakened from his daily nap. It seems that Genevieve is filing a divorce suit against Thomas Tillet on charges of refusing to be henpecked. Postmaster Claude Ferrell is con- ferring with J. B. Heath, a new mailman for the city. "The circus is in town and everyone goes free because the owners, Ralph Blades and Dick Brothers, like to do this for people. Allan Hooper is an orator during the winter, but he spends his summers as ringmaster of 'the five-ring circusfl Barbara and Charles were amazed to find that Arthur Stevenson has succeeded in becoming a truck driver, that Bill Mann and Marion Swindell are operating a funeral home jointly and are considered North Carolinas best known embalmersg that Bill Weatherly is the wealthy owner of the Moth Club: that Charles White is an announcer over the radio station, that Gid Twiddy owns a taxi company and drives one for a hobby, that Billy Askew is the best plumber in the city, and that Billy Cathy shines shoes. Patsy Morgan is the most popular waitress in town especially with her pilot husband, Her- bert lVIcCoy. Herby is still determined to fly around the world in a jet propelled plane. Hope he makes it! Fashioned dress makers and designers of evening dresses with straps are Nida Hyatt and Virginia Parker who work for Norma Faye Hooper and Helen Jones, owners of the dress shop. Also in the home town are Eugene Overton, photographerg Meddie Riggs, Nellie Maude Sanderlin, beauticiansg Walter Williams, elevator boy, and chain store operators, William and Norman Forbes. Boys' Club director is Loma Hassell who likes to use the phone to hear Billie Smith, Allie Rieves Bell and Rosa Ballance say "number place." lVIarguerite Staples and Marjorie Whaley have established an orphanage and attending the nursery are Edith Cartwright and Virginia Sears. Over in Camden County Walter Barnard wins the heart of his congregation every Sunday as he preaches. "I see a printer, Eugene Woods, and in the same newspaper plant I see Eleanor LaNier, social editor, and .Eugene Price, sports editor and part owner of the paper you will edit," the Prince pointed to Charles. 'iAnd you have satisfied yourself by becoming a nurse of no small fame," he pointed to Barbara and bid them farewell.

As Juniors We take an important part in most of the extra-curricula activities carried on in our school. Heading the list of clubs in which the members are participating is the National Beta Club. It takes brains to get in, but our class seems to be Well represented. Many of our students feel that the Patriotic Club helps them to become better citizens. Ambitious boys and girls who Work on th-e school publications find their goal in the Quill and Scroll Honorary Society. The Tri-Hi-Y, a club for girls, and the Hi-Y, la club for boys, both of which are re- ligious organizations, have taken many of our class under their Wings this year. Ever since We can remember there has been a Girls' G1-ee Club but it seems the boys have been keeping their talents to themselves until this year when quite a few took an interest. A majority of these com-e from our class and We are very proud of them. Naturally our athletic teams couldn't get along Without us. To prove this, many of our boys and girls play regularly on the different teams. This year marked our start in society when We gave the Seniors their annual prom. After much hard Work and fun We produced the Junior play. Transferring the gym into a gala carnival ground We had a very successful Junior Carnival. VVe sponsored moving pictures for the enjoyment of all the school students. Vtfe of the Junior Class hope We have set a good example for those who follow in our footsteps and may they keep up the high standards which We have endeavored to carry on.

But even so, we haven't wasted this year. We've taken advantage of all our opportunities. Sports held the interest of the Sophomore class. We eagerly awaited each football game. At the game we were given a chance to show our school spirit and incidentally, seven members of our class were on the team. W-e were proud, too, of our eight mem- bers on the Junior Varsity. We were also represented on the boys' and girls' basketball teams and the baseball team. Th-e Sophomores of E.C.H.S. are musically minded. Almost one-fourth of us wore the black and gold uniforms of the band and the voices of eighteen boys and girls of our class were heard in the Glee Club. We were well represented in the two Freshman-Sophomore clubs, the Dancing Club and th-e Junior Red Cross Council. The Dramatic and Patriotic Clubs, too, claimed some of us. We also had a part in the making of The Loudsperzlaer and The Spotlight. We took the usual required subjects, English where we stuttered through speeches and debates and Biology where our stomachs turned cartwheels as we cut open worms. The Latin students worried over infinitives and participl-es as they visited ancient Rome with Publius and Furianus. Some struggled over equations in Algebra and dates in World History. Other boys and girls are preparing themselves for positions in the world of tomorrow by taking Shop, Home Economics and General Business.

Forty FRESHMEN BOBBY ASKEW President J. K. BROCK Vice President BETTY RAY OUTLAW Secretary KATHERINE WOODLEY Treasurer L36 We, the Class of 1950, are looking forward to the day when we, as Sophomores, will have the privilege of initiating the on-coming Freshmen. VVe have been in the high school building for two years, but this is the first year that we have taken any high school subjects. We took our initiation as eighth graders. Now we are waiting for the eighth graders from the S. L. Sheep School. We've had a good year as Freshmen. Perhaps we've felt more a part of the school because we've been here for two years. Our required subjects were English, Civics, Physical Education, and Mathematics. We could choose Latin, Home Economics, Shop, General Science, Glee Club or Band. The members of this class have participated in many extra-curricula activities. Some were on the Safety Patrol, in the Dancing Club, Junior Red Cross, and other clubs. Many took active part in athletics by playing football, basketball, and baseball. S-everal played in the band and were members of the Glee Club. Three made the debating team which set a record for a first year class. Now we are waiting eagerly to travel the halls to our new homerooms and to new subjects and teachers. We regret, however, having to leave behind our old rooms and teachers who have helped us so much.

Since the war it has turned its attention to civic matters. Early in the school year the members made a survey to find how many students were saving money in any way. Finding that saving needed to be encouraged the club decided to give a play to promote this project. The play was called "Close Quarters." A Halloween dance was given in the school gym. The money made at this dance enabled the club to contribute to the Tuberculosis Fund, the Community Youth Fund, the Salvation Army Joy Fund and the infantile Paralysis Drive. During the month of January the Elizabeth City Garden Club asked this group to work with them as a Junior Garden Club. Talks on shrubbery, arranging flowers, trees and birds have been given at the weekly meeting by ladies from the Garden Club. Fifty-two ew WL X A,"Af Fifty-three Hi-Y Club First row: 'Walter Barnard.

Regular meetings are held each Tuesday at fourth period to discuss pressing business and to worship. Joint meetings of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y clubs are held each month. These give both the boys and girls a chance to have some fun together. Programs thus far for the joint meetings have been "Fostering Boy and Girl Relationships." Heading the list of projects for the club are renovating the girls' rest room downstairs and maintaining its sanitation. Each girl contributes to the Work of cleaning the room. O-nce a month the Tri-Hi-Y Club visits a local church in a body for Worship. This, also, is done with the boys, and is done for the sole purpose of encouraging the members to attend some church regularly.

There are two periods during the day in which the girls are trained and two periods each week devoted to boys' glee club work. Though the three groups have special times for training, they perform as a combined group. There is one practice a week for the group as a unit. Under the able direction of Miss Mary Blane Justus this group of a hundred mixed voices has presented many and varied programs. On Wednesday before Thanksgiving the Glee Club presented their first program of the year in the high school auditorium. This was well received by both students and faculty. During the Christmas season the group toured the city singing Christmas carols. On Sunday night before the holidays at a union service of all the churches the Glee Club presented a Christmas program. This concert which told of the birth of Jesus in music and tableaux was sung before an overfiowing audience in the S. L. Sheep auditorium. Later in the year, they sang at several church services and were featured in the commencement program. In March this youthful group entered the district music contest Where it won honors and a chance to go to Greensboro for the State contest. Participation in this contest won the Glee Club and Miss Justus more fame and acclaim. In April the group took part in the city-Wide Music Festival sponsored by the Elizabeth City Music Club. Accompanist for the Glee Club is Rodney Trueblood.

Hill, Pipkin, Hughes, Assistant Coaches, Butler and lllades, Elizabeth City High St-hool's football season of 1946 closed one of the most successful seasons it has had in a long time. With a first team composed of seven experienced players and four re- turned veterans and with a great deal of hard, clean Hghting, they won the state class A-2 cham- pionship by winning from China Grove by 13-6. This year Elizabeth City was once again a mem- ber of the Northeastern Conference after being out of it during the war. When Elizabeth City had won all of its scheduled games except one, it was eligible to enter the opening round of the Class A-2 state championship play-offs. The Jackets played Whiteville here on Thanksgiving Day. Winning this game led to the play-off with China Grove att Salisbury. Coach t'Honey" Johnson deserves a great deal of credit for this extraordinary year of football because it was he who, with patience, trained each member of the team. George llrinson, a most powerful fullback and acting captain of the team, due to the injury of captain Jimmy Preston early in the season, was named fullback on the Associated Press All-State team. George Owens tackle, received honorable mention. Having broken a collar bone in the Taraboro game, Lindberg Holmes was out the remainder of the season: however, he really made a name for himself by his passing and kicking. His loss was a severe blow to the team, Scrclz fy Our Coach! Surrounded by players, Coach Johnson is seen in action at the Iirst night football game on Hun- sucker Field. This night was a triumph in another Way because Kinston was defeated by the Jackets. In the left foreground are seen Jimmy Henderson, assistant manager, and Percy Jennings, manager.
