Class History In 1949, seventy-five Freshmen walked proudly down the halls of Beaufort High School. It wasn't until we began changing classes that we realized we were completely lost. With the help of our homeroom teachers, Mrs. Salter and Mrs. Beveridge, and the push and pull of upper classmen, we finally found our places and settled down. Before the year was over, we were in many activities of the school, with F.H. A., Glee Club and Banquet waiters and waitress serving as our main interests. None of us will ever forget the supper we served the Seniors at State Park. Many times we will wish we were back there again eating ail that chicken we had left over. In 1950, we came back in full force as Sophomores. This was the year we tried out our bossy words on the poor Freshmen. Under the kind hands of Mrs. Lawrence and Miss Thompson, we grew to be a very outstanding class, for this was the year we discovered that our classmates were painters, speakers, actors, athletes and leaders in activities. The trip and wiener roast for the Seniors at Flanders Beach, we will never forget. This was the time we beat the highly superior Seniors in a sack race. Our Junior year found us full of dreams for the banquet. Mrs. Salter was back with us, and with her came a helping hand, Mrs. Willis. Selling magazine subscriptions and sponsoring dances were our biggest undertakings that year. Ail our work was not in vain, for we had a Mexican Banquet that far surpassed any other before us. After much hard study, we were ready to be- come hard-boiled Seniors. There were only thirty-eight of us Seniors when we proudly walked in the front door and through the balcony. Miss Duncan and Miss Chadwick greeted us and under their guidance, we soon set to work. This was the year that was full of hard work mixed with activities, for now we were the leaders in our school. Some of us were preparing ourselves for college, others for local jobs, and many for marriage. Some big events during our Senior year were the Christmas Party, the best annual yet, the arrival of rings, the big trip to Washington, and last, but not least, our graduation exercises. It was hard to leave our friends for we knew that we would be scattered to all parts of the world, but we realized that we had to say good-by and go out on our own. We are hoping that someday we will meet again in the halls of Beaufort High School. Anita Copeland Historian

Prophecy of Class of ’54 Here it is 1964, a whole decade since I have seen any of my classmates of the class of '54. I have been out of the States since the fall after we graduated. I have often wondered during this time what be- came of all them. If I could only meet just one of my ole classmates, maybe I could find out how some of them are making out in this big wide world. Guess I had better stop dreaming and get on my plane before I miss it. As I boarded the plane and settled down in my seat, an attractive young lady came to fasten me in. Her face seemed familiar. Grace! Yes, this attractive stewardess was none other than Grace Whitehurst, an old classmate. My dreaming wasn't in vain after all. Well, you can imagine what went on during my flight--yes, you have guessed it! Grace and I talked about our classmates of '54. She informed me that she had just returned from a trip home, so her infor- mation was fresh off the wires. Bobby Davis is now Coach of the Notre Dame Football Team, with Kerry Lewis as his Assistant Coach. While we are on the subject of sports, Grace said that Colleen Guthrie was Coach of the Beaufort Girls' Basketball Team. Her team has a record of no losses for three years. Also, Jimmy Willis has recently joined the world renown Globe Trotters. Judy Mason and Bobbie Dennis are dancers of the Ziegfield Follies in New York. Kay Willis and Doris Temple are happily married and have a set of twins each. Jessie Wilkins is Carteret County's new Home Agent. It is rumored that she is the best one they have had for years. Herb Prytherch is Head Doctor at the new hospital at Cedar Island. On his very dependable Nurses Staff are Phyllis Pake and Shirley Dudley. Danny Bates is now a Professor of English at the University of North Carolina. He was always good in English back in school. Street Wetherington, the fisherman of our class, is now the captain of a fleet of menhaden boats and half owner of the Beaufort Fisheries. Barbara Harris, after years of hard practicing, has become a star concert pianist; and Patsy Daniels is a sensational new opera star, now touring Europe. An ultra-modern new movie theater has just been built in Morehead City under the management of Connie Sabiston. The two architects who designed the theater were Elzie Tosto and Curtis Josey. Joyce Willis and Inez Woodard, the best looking girls of our class, are now modeling for the Robinson Designing and Modeling Company in New York. Jane Robinson is head designer. Anita Copeland and Hugh Mason are the Sports Editors of the Greensboro Daily. They are doing a fine job from what I hear. Malcolm Sabiston is the new owner of the Jefferson Hotel, and his wife, the former Marie Robinson, is dietitian. Some of Donald Fulcher's greatest paintings are on display in the Louvre in Paris. It has been rumored that Wayne King is fast becoming radio and television's most popular star. It seems that he was very good at that back in his school days. Billy Hudgins and George Lewis, two eminent scientists, have just completed their fifth successful flight to the moon. Quite a place, isn't it, boys? Walker Moore has completed his ministry schooling and is now one of North Carolina's best preachers. His wife, the former Edna Young, is an excellent Sunday School teacher. Earl Noe, Principal of Beaufort High School, has on his very dependable staff, Janice Keller and Frances Fulcher. Janice is head of the Commercial Department and Frances is the head of the French Department. Earl says they are two of his best teachers. Gerald Taylor and Sue Gibbs have teamed up and recently added three hundred acres to their one thousand acre farm down in the Deep South. They were good help on the farm as kids. Sally Taylor is the new owner of Taylor's Community Hall. She really has some business. Emma Perry entered the missionary field. She is the head of her YMCA group in Asia. Grace has to leave now, however, she reminds me that she forgot to mention that the pilot of the plane is our own Freddie Merrill. Gracious, if the Class of 54 has accomplished this much in its first ten years out of school, there will be no stopping its progress in the years to come! Sadie L. Harris
