CLASS HISTORY it is to live twice when we can enjoy the recol lections of our former life. September 1 , 1954. . . eventful day ! . . . marked the triumphant entry of one hundred three of our classmates into high school. Mr. Leroy Foster, Mrs. M. G . Thompson, and Mr. Frank Wilson, Jr. , were our advisors. Charlie Dickens, Lawrence Harris, and Barbara Norris were presidents of the three sections. Four members of our class won school-wide recognition: Jane Jefferys was chosen Miss N. H . A. ; Kenneth Greene and Bobby Jernigan played fullback and halfback, respectively, on the footba I I team; and Ruby Early was named Miss Eppes by popular vote of the student body. We were very proud of The Huron Club, a group of ninth-grade boys organized to combat juvenile delinquency. Reginald Graye was elected presi- dent, and Mr. D . A. Barnhil I was faculty advisor. The class picnic at South Greenville Park was a fitting cl imox to our first year in high school . Time will discover everything to posterity. Realizing the truth of this old adage, we buckled down to more serious study our sophomore year under the guidance of Mrs. S . L. Davenport and Mrs. O . B. Myers. Donovan Phillips and Charlie Dickens were section presidents. Dorothy Baker was chosen class queen. Mi I bon Cobb and Bobby Jernigan earned certificates in masonry. Edward Lewis won the Algebra Award; and David James, the World History Award and the Art Award . Kenneth Greene and Bobby Jernigan became out- standing players on the footba! I team. Our year ended successful ly, and as we departed, we entertained thoughts of being busy juniors in just a few months. As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every moment of time. Every moment of our junior year was precious ! We were greatly excited over thoughts of the Junior-Senior Prom; at the same time, we knew we could not let our excitement over the prom jeopardize our scholarship. Miss E . L. McConnel I and Mr. A. E . Murrel I , our advisors, guided us successful I y through the year. Joseph Anderson joined our ranks after having spent four years in the Air Force. Reginald Graye was elected president of the class. Lena Carr was named class queen. Curtis Mouning received a certificate in masonry. Several leaders emerged from the class this year: Edward Lewis was vice- president of the Student Council; Donovan Phillips, president of the Chemistry Club; Gloria Hopkins, president of the Library Club; and Lawrence Harris and Edward Lewis, preside nts of the two units of Le Cercle Francois. Five of our classmates were signally honored thisyear: Emma Hemby won the French Prize; James Hines was cited for having given the best male performance in the Eastern District Festival of the North Carol ina Drama Association; Geneva Porter took second place in the local Omega Talent Hunt; Donovan Phil I ips and Joseph Anderson had paintings on display for the Centennial Celebration of the National Education Association in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June-August 1957. At the end of this year, Donovan Phillips was per- mitted to enter Morehouse College as a freshman on the Ford Accelerated Program. Our Junior-Senior Banquet, The Stork Club, was the culmination of a year ' s planning and work. There was just one word to describe it. . . swel legant! Jean Burnette, Loretta Dupree, and Doris T eel were marshals. To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven. Our senior year was truly the season to seize time by the forelock and look to the future. Mrs. E. B. Graves and Miss Ruth Staton were our advisors. Mi I bon Cobb was elected class president. Icelene Short was class queen. The senior class seemed to have a monopoly over presidencies: Milbon Cobb, our class president, was also president of the Student Council and of the Hi-Y; Peggy Lofton , the Safety Patrol; Emma Hemby, the N . H . A. ; Jean Burnette, the T ri Hi-Y; Edward Lewis, the Band; Jane Jefferys, the F.B.L.A.; Barbara Gainer, Senior Girl Scouts; Gloria Nimmo, the Library Club and the Eppes Little Theatre; Reginald Graye, the High School Glee Club; and Emma Hemby and Marvin Duncan, the two units of Le Cercl e Francois. Kenneth Greene was captain of the footba I I team, and Reginald Graye and Marvin Dun can were co-captains of the basketball team. The end of the senior year terminated successfully with the p u b I i s h i n g of the 1 958 edition of the EPPESONION. The true past departs not; no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die; but all is still here, and recognized or not, I ives and works through endless changes.
