THE CLASS HISTORY In September, 1948, a group of very excited young people started their high-school journey under the supervision of Mrs. Hardwick, Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Lampkin, Mrs. Blake, and Mr. Dixon. Under the instruction of these teachers, the classes were organized. The presidents of the classes were: Willie Louise Daniels, Lu James Collins, Floyd Young, Thomas Evans, and Harold Wright. In the eleventh grade, the classes were sorry to lose three of their advisors, but welcomed gladly Mr. Bolden, Mr. Cole, and Miss Clifford as future ad- visors. At the second semester of the eleventh grade, the class moved from the old Beach High and entered the new Beach High School. Now reaching the greatest year in the history of our class, there was a group of students from Haven Home added to the class, with Mr. Wright added as advisor. We welcomed these students to the Beach High School. The most important activity of the year was the traditional Miss Beach Contest. The class was proud to have Miss Toleetha Barwick as Miss Beach and her attendants Misses Bettye Stokes and Odessa White. The class proudly boasts such singers as Evelyn Bolden, Willie Louise Daniels, Allen Pullen, Lu James Collins, William Butler, Ellen Glover, and Helen Robinson; such speakers as Adam Williams, Inez Ferguson and Earl Berkstiner; such actors as Ellen Glover, Annie Mae White, Marilyn Woods, and Deloris Middleton; such instrumentalists as James Dilworth, John Holey, Lewis Scott, Henry Houston, and 7ohn Greatt; such honor students as Earnes- tine Toomer, Ellen Glover, Annie White, Velma Home, Jewel Grant, Delores Miller, Marie Wilcox, Julia Hendrix, Thomas Evans, Amos Davis, Lu James Collins, and Edward Werner. In organizations, the class boasts as first Chairman and Secretary of the Youth Group — Bettye Snype and Ella Marie Solomon; as second editor of the Beach Beach — Amos Davis, and first editor of the Golden Bulldog, Delores Perry. Those who have received special awards are: Julia Hendrix, Fire Preven- tion; Odessa White, NHA; and a senior group won first and third places in the 1950 Harvest of Talent Show. In sports, Henry Praylo was Captain of the 1950 football team, and William Patterson and William Adams co-captains. Others who played football are: Paris Brown, Edward Werner, Roland Glover, and Harold Wright. In basket- ball — Rosalie Fuller, Sarah Coles, Marjorie Williams, Joan Black, Albert Cody, Robert Butler, and Henry Praylo. These three years have passed. The trip was enjoyable, although it was not always pleasant. We are very thankful to the instructors for their guidance and patience with us. Our wishes are to do better work in the years to come.
