Having tasted of the fluid from her fountain of knowledge, we possess great faith in the future progress of our school. We pledge ourselves to uphold and cher- ish her traditions through the years, and to be ever loyal to this institution. Our past holds pleasant memories, and we are looking forward to a success- ful future for all. We wish to thank our principal, each member of the faculty, and each pupil who has helped to make these years successful. We owe our special thanks to Mrs. Ruth, Mrs. Rogers, and Mr. Young for their services rendered in making this publication possible. The Pioneer reviews the Campus activities of the past year by reflecting outstanding events that have taken place during the year. It takes interest, time, skill and other essential qualities which one must possess to be successful in life. We have tried to use these in editing our book and hope that you will be satisfied, enlightened, and informed after perusal. Editor-in-Chief Barbara J.

Washington High School. We entered for the first time in September, 1952 as bewildered freshmen. This was a great year! Even though we had to get adjusted to our new routines, we were willing to undertake any hardships that confronted us. Our advisors, Mr. Major, Mrs. McRae, Mr. Powell and Mrs. Ruth did all possible to acquaint us with the routine of high school. In 1953, we were sophomores, very eager to participate in all activities. Our advi- sors were Mrs. Duncan, Mr. Quick, and Mr. Scott. Mrs. Duncan ' s section of the class won first place in the Athletic Rally, crowning Lois Washington and General Scales as Queen and King. We were unfortunate to lose Mr. Williamson, a loss to the entire school and especial- ly to the band. As juniors, we had almost made it with one more year to go. Our advisors, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Ruth, were still trying to help us reach our goal. We had a number of musical students, with Joe Wells at piano, Susie Harrison, and Reubena Totten singing soprano, and Barbara Harper and James Carole Hariston singing alto. Our sport stars were Albert Bass, Alphonza Maroney, Wilbert Adams, W. T. Brown, Barbara Gravely, Melvine Slade, Thelma Crawford and Lois Washington. The Junior-Senior Prom afforded quite a thrill to us because we had waited for two years. The Rhythm Vets furnished the music. We were proud to have Joe Wells elected President of the Student Council and Reubena Totten as Secretary. They will set good examples for the incoming officers. We had nine members to make the Crown and Scepter Club: Albert Bass, J.C. Bell, Thelma Crawford, Louise Clark, James Carole Hariston, Lucy R. Martin, Annie L. Pickard, and Beatrice Stokes. We are seniors now, ready to cross the river of no return, but able to face it though the tides are high. Our advisors are Mrs. Ruth and Mrs. Rogers. We may lose the closeness of classmates, yet graduation will be a thrill. The outstanding ventures of our senior year will be the publication of this Annual, the presentation of our class play, and preparation for graduation. The badges of seniority- -rings and diplomas- -give us happiness, but our hearts are filled with sorrow as we depart from our friends and teachers. We shall forever be grateful for the privilege of attending this wonderful school and for the guidance and encouragement of our parents and teachers. When we receive our diplomas, the history of our class as a group ends and each member will write his own history by his future deeds. He who keeps his mind on his work is wise. Jean Doris Graves Beatrice Stokes Historians Glass J ropnecu Gee, how utterly comfortable I am tonight! Hope no company stops by- -then I can enjoy TV, bare feet atop my favorite hassock and a good cold coke; there ' s the doorbell- -seems as though a hard-working guy might enjoy one night of perfect bachelordom. Sure I ' m living in pure bliss here in my brown and white bachelor apartment. So tired tonight after the paces the fellows ran in today ' s practice getting ready for Homecoming, 1965 . . . exactly ten years . . . how does a guy measure success? Here I am, Albert Bass . . . after four years in college and three summers working on an M. A. , now for two years head football coach at W. H. S. -- door bell again ... I can ' t escape answering it this time. Thenia Pass and Lois Washington! Well, I should have known the wolfpack of ' 55 would soon start bursting the ole home town at the seams, Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly, er, er, I mean flies. The three of us talk over old times--school days, etc. Am I ever brought up to date on the doings of classmates by these dames, Thenia, who is Dee Cee ' s most ravishing socialite and wife of the Capital ' s most debonair and wealthy physician, Dr. Fred Smith, and Lois Washington Mayes, wife of the N. Y. Giants center fielder, Willie Mays. Of course, the success of some of the classmates is common knowledge to all. TV Toast- master, Herman Pass, emcee and host of $64,000 Question, Robert Brooks and Jerome Smith, authors and publishers of OUR BODILY HEALTH- -current PE textbook in the N. C. Public Schools, Mary C. Holloway, who graces all Lucky Strike ads and is the highest paid model in America, Tootsie Adams, halfback on the Redskins football team, W. T. Brown, trainer for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Harry Courts, Commander of The Armed Forces in the Far East, and Charles Whitt, Prelate. So much and Hip Hurrah! for the Cadillac Crowd. Well, Thenia tells of the activities of the 55 ' ers in her section of the country- -many, many folk in civil service positions in the Capital-- James Curtis Broadnax, Willie Watkins, Myrene Wilkerson, Ollie Stacy, Louise King, and Geraldine Graves. Sadie Martin, Melzetta Neal, Sam Coates, and Mildred Baize teach in Washington; and across the state line in Maryland, Barbara Harper, Joann Brown, Annie Pickard, and Clement Galloway are teaching in the public school system. Then there ' s Thelma Crawford, Carolyn Clack, and Gloria Coates, who teach in the state of Delaware; George Foster, Ananias Abbott and Sarah Graves teach in Philadelphia, Pa. Nannette Gwynn lives in Philadelphia, also—owner of a Perfume Salon. Oh, Teddy Galloway and his wife, nee Williette Cummings, live in Pennsylvania, too. Teddy is a contractor. Coming south now, down in Richmond, Va., Van Maroney is coach at Walker High School-- Rubena just works at having the most beautifully appointed home in the area and they have two beautiful little girls, Mitt and Mett. Emanuel Harris coaches basketball and track at St. Paul in Lawrenceville, Virginia. Tommy Martin is a successful architect in the Capital. Thenia ' s ex- hausted- -your turn now, Lois, and if you haven ' t changed since school days, I know that you have a wealth of info on the gang. In spite of her successful marriage, Lois still has that secret crush that she always had on Clarence Carter, who, by the way, is a first-rate pharmacist in New York State. Lois tells that Octavia Mclntyre is breaking into the legit theater doing a bit part here and there; Beatrice Stokes and Mae Lois Millner share a bachelor-girl apartment- -both have top-notch secretarial positions in New York City. Audrey Redd Curry lives in Brooklyn with her hubby, Rev. Palmer Curry, who pastors a large Methodist Church there. Jenny Tucker and Ruby Johnson operate a cozy cafe across the river in Newark, N.J. By this time we are all getting a bit sleepy, so we move around to revive ourselves- -I show the girls my place, then I whip up my culinary specialty- -bacon, eggs, and coffee ... we start again, Where ' s ole who?, How ' s ole what?. Remembering the Commencement Speaker ' s crowning words of advice, Cast down your buckets where you are, I ' ll tell you of our class- mates who are blossoming here at home- -Barbara Washington and Willie B. Vaughn are nurses at Annie Penn Memorial Hospital; Joe Wells is an instructor in the Math Department at A. T. College; I ' m sure Miss Campbell got the job for him, as she is there as head of the Department. Sarah Penn has Miss Campbell ' s position as Math instructor at W. H. S. Bernice King, Eula Hall and Susie Harrison teach in Reidsville also. Marcellus Lambert and his wife, the former Lula Winchester, own a thriving Radio-TV repair shop. Patricia Woodfork Bell, Anna Harrison Benton, and Gloria Lawson Bolden are expecting the stork soon and the proud papas -to -be, Jacey Bell, Lorenza Benton, and Harvey Bolden, are buying up cigars to pass out when the blessed events occur.

This fabulous piece of entertaining will take place in the lobbies of the Tit-Tat-Toe Clinic, which is owned and operated by the three lady M. D. ' s. You gals go on home and get some shut-eye, I ' ve got to hold five classes come tomorrow, as well as coach a tough game on tomorrow evening. Oh yeah! If you need any hair-do ' s go to the new Drive-in Beauty Salon on the Greensboro Road. This is owned by my current fiancee, Miss Mae Belle Mills- -Lexie Barnett and Inez Moore are operators.
