CLASS IlISTOm ' OI )U Tin ' history of the class of l ' M6 is so (Iranialic ami colorful thai it rcscnihlcs a play, one of those modern iilays that so skillfully disregard all the rules of drama with your kind per- mission. 1. as dramatic critic of the Princess Anne County Training School will re iew the play called The Class of 1946 in an absolutely iniUiased manner. This is a play in four acts, with three all loo brief intermissions. Tlirc ' Ughout the action, there is very incidental music. The pla was written hy the actors as they played their parts, under the direction of Robert L. Cordon, ' he sponsor, and a band of capable assistants, the faculty. It is produced by the Board of Education with the cooperation of the taxpayers and is given hy an all-star cast. . s all appear at the same time we shall give their names in alpha- beticallv order. Roland Russell was elected as candidate from the I ' reshman class for the Boy ' s Pop- ularit Contest. He placed second in the conlist. l ' )-ki-)4 Heaven Bound was presented. Xicbolas Copeland was elected for the Boys Contest and placed second in the contest. Nicholas C ipeland presented in chapel durin.i; Xegro History Week, spoke on the Negro and Kducation. The Class made a delightfnl trip to Ocian Breeze in Ma l ' M4. Juanila 1 .amb wim first place- in the annual May Queen Contest that year. l ' ' 44-l, Mary Williams was elected secretar oi Tin Cnlli Conference ot .X ' orfolk. Nicholas Copeland was elected to lead the I ' an.-l I iscussion at llu ' oulh Conference April 12 al Car er Homes, Portsmouth, ' a. On - pril fi, I ' M. the Junior (las bonoreil tlie Si ninr Class in a formal cl.iiur. . t last the fatal hour arrives, and the I ' inal Examination raises his sinister bead, Tlu attack of the Seniors is brave and well organized. The result of concenlralion is ap]i.nen1. To a man — an l a woman — the .Seniors emeri e ietorious. They have fuushed stndx. u then the symbolic touch, without winch no p|a wurtliv the name is ctimplete — the ironic twist of the new school of dramatists; study, met face to face, is fotmd to he, not an enem . but a friend, and an invaluable alh to ])ossess througboiU life. The ■-trenuoiis preparation for battle, which made our cast niori ' and nim-e ,fajuiliar with stmly, was a blessing in disgin ' se and everybody is happy. The play ends in a burst of glory, with flowers, inusic, and congratulations — in short. graduation exercises : and we have the well-know n and ever popular happy ending. ■ Si0r- ' :0r.
