Eleven years and ten months ago from this graduation—we, the Grad¬ uating Class of 1950, added our names to the enrollment records of Ahoskie School. On that day, the first of September, 1938, we were left to the care of Mrs. John Bozeman and Mrs. Orville Creech, our first grade teachers and under the supervision of Mr. F. M. Tucker, principal. Our first year was spent in adjusting ourselves to school work and yet we found time to put on a Tom Thumb Wedding which came off smoothly without a mishap. At Christmas both sections of the first grade came together in front of our play¬ house made from refrigerator boxes, to listen to Christmas programs on a borrowed radio. On June 1 we were dismissed for our first summer vacation, and how welcome it was! Back to school we went again and found two new teachers, Miss Marietta Picot and Miss Annette Darden. Not much happened on the lighter side of these school days, except a wiener roast at the Big Chimney, given to us by our Grademothers at the end of the year. This school year we were divided alphabetically into two sections in¬ stead of according to our grades as in the previous years. The first class was under Mrs. Bessye Harrell and the second half under Miss Eleanor Best. The first, second and fourth grades worked with us (the third grade) to produce an operetta— Why The Flowers Grow , in which we portrayed flowers in an enchanted garden. The fourth grade marked our graduation into Grammar School. This year our class won a book week poster contest and presented the prize—a painting to the school. Our teachers this year were Mrs. Sam Boyette and Mrs. Tripp. We also had our first taste of Geography. This year we saw the first effects of the war, our principal left to enlist in the Army. Our teachers were Mrs. Stevenson and Miss Sessoms. A
