Our paramount endeavor was to make this issue a precious bloom in your garden of memories. We have surmounted innunnerable difficulties along many labyrinthine paths to complete this issue, but the scope of our purpose led us on. How well we have accomplished this purpose is for you to decide. As the plant grows old and memories grow dim, we hope that this edition will animate those golden days spent within these portals.

Joy, in that I am glad you have been able to master the tasks which have been placed before you and have achieved the goal which you sought. I am sorry this relationship which has been most enjoyable and pleasant must end temporarily, although much joy is anticipated in our working together again in the very near future. Your education here will be the foundation of future decisions and hence must not be forgotten. I am confident that success is surely yours if your progress from this point is equal to that in the past. Be assured that you always have my concern for your happiness and success. Edward J.

Reeder. cuss mSIORY Life is a full-blown year, with all things in their season Thus, in our college career, each change has rhyme and reason; The seasons come and go-each with its gifts in hand. That we may see and know how well all life is planned. SPRING-The time of all green and growing things; what more fitting, then, that the Freshman, in this green time of his life, should enter college ' ' The march winds and the April showers were very necessary to the budding of the shoots of knowledge in the Freshman mind. And we, so green in our dewy innocence, received at this time the first seeds of knowledge and felt the first pull of the plow and the cultivator in this spring of our career. And this was the year of nineteen hundred and fifty-one. Summing it all up we might say with the poet-that Once came fifty babies- Through our magic gates to pass- Scattering ' If you please , and ' Maybes ' - Weren ' t they as green as grass ' ' Although we were as green as grass, we realized that we must organize our ranks; consequently, we elected class officers to lead us through this first hectic period. The list of class officers read: Pearlie L. Kirkley, President; Cleon Nance, Vice- President; Delcenia B. Simpson, Secretary; William T. Reeder, Treasurer; and Mrs. Laura M. Booton, Advisor. SUMMER -The March winds and April showers brought forth an abundance of May flowers, and the Sumertime came upon us almost before we knew; so delightfully did the one season blend into the other. We found the skies were much bluer and the sun shone more radiantly upon us. We held our heads very high and we kept the stalks that supported them very straight. They were heavy with their accumulation of wisdom and so did not droop with the weight. But our flowers were undolfing little by little. We were slowly but surely coming out into the light of day. Our buds had become blossoms and the color of our dominant characteristics had changed with the unfolding of the larger bloonns. SENIORS AUTUMN-But verily, in college life, even as in nature, Leaves have their time to fall, and flowers to wither. Very brillant was our foliage that year, very rich our fruitage, as the little buds of Freshman year, grown into the flowers of full blown fruit, became the richer and more satisfying fruit of Autumn. It was indeed the harvest of our early planting-the reaping of the results of all our dreams, hopes and efforts. WINTER-But even this stage passed on into eternity; the fruit was all gathered and stored away with our memories, and with the snows of all the past in hoary wisdom upon our heads, we welcome the approach of graduation. Rugged in our young man- hood, clad in spotless snow and frost, protecting the yet immature germs of de- veloping life from the blighting atmosphere, we stand at the end of our course. A few of our classmates succumbed to the call of fate , and did not return to us. Still there were test, cultivations and Fall planting, and with all our wisdom, there was much to be desired. To guide us through this last period. Our class officers worked long and assiduously to interest us in our class work. You know them- Matt- hew Sigler, President; James Grier, Vice-President; Ruth Alexander, Secretary; and William T. Reeder, Treasurer. It seems a sadder time than we expected. The world outside is cold. We know not what to expect from its bleak, bare atmosphere. But we must not forget that to- morrow we will all enter into a renewal of life in a glad, glorious, new springtime. And so we go forth, robed in snowy emblem of our purification, no longer green, nor red, nor even blue. For the last year satisfying must all shadows safely blow; Senior lefe is purifying, and we pass as white as snow . Claude Boyd, ' 53 israsL s CUSS PliOPII[CY As the month of June draws nearer and nearer and our stay here in Carver College grows shorter, day by day, I am besieged with a multitude of questions from my contemporary students. Each craving to know what the future holds in store for the sophomore class of 1953. It was only natural that they should ask me, as reading tea leaves is my talent and after much pleading 1 consented. With tea cup in hand, I retired to my lonely room to turn prognosticator . What I saw in the leaves was a- mazing and I am somewhat reluctant to nar rate it. The first vision to appear was a long parade winding its way through the main thoroughfare of Liberia, with the people acclaiming their newly elected president James Grier. Quickly, my eyes scanned the leaves and wait - what strange place is this ' ' The streets look familiar, why this is Washington, D. C. , no wonder I failed to recognize the scene, Charles Covington Contractor ' s Company has just finished remodeling the White House. The scene changes to an elaborately furnished dance studio in upper Manhattan where Cleon Nance teaches dancing to the elite. As I looked in amazement at the leaves 1 saw lovely Lavone Blackwell still hunting up family backgrounds before she speaks to a suitor. The next vision to appear was a rather comical one, Melvin Bailey, Fred Davis and Walter Weddington are seen running toward the woods, each with a bag of corn under his arm, is there any doubt as to how they are making their living? What is this I see ' ' Why this is London, England and the beautiful building overlooking Berkerly Square is the Matthew Sigler Theatre, and whose name is that in lights on the marquee ' ' None other than Pearlie Kirkley, that sensational first lady of the opera. Her piano accompanist is our old friend Delcenia Simpson. Again the scene changes, this time to Reeder and Reeder Movie Studio in Holly- wood, California. There before the cameras stood Alberta Belton, Amanda Gardner and Geraldine Lance going through the lines of Shakespeare ' s Hamlet. Across the street from the studio stands the Brook ' s Lingerie Store, the largest lingerie store in the world owned and operated by Mary Brooks. Again the leaves take me across the Atlantic, this time to Paris, France and there on the Rue de la Paix stands the House of Fashions operated by Annie Johnson, and guess who the models are ' ' -Jean Moore, Katherine Burke and Ruth Alexander. No trip across the Atlantic would be complete without a visit to Rome and here I see Claude Boyd advisor to the Pope. Also in Rome is that great automobile tycoon, Harry Coins. Vacationing on the Isle of Capri is Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Davidson, Back in the U. S. in Philadelphia, Penn. Claude Stephens and Lawyer Dean are successful brokage partners. In the same building is the renown CPA Samuel Cunningham, can you imagine Helen Hamil- ton owns the building. Here the leaves began to fade and my eyes stopped spinning, all was quiet, my task was completed. Prognosticator William T. Reeder  ™ ' ' - LAST Will m TISTAMINT state of North Carolina County of Mecklenburg City of Charlotte of the Senior Class of Carver Junior College To Who m It May Concern: We, the members of the senior class of nineteen hundred and fifty-three, fully cog- nizant of the fact that soon our hearts will beat no more here in our beloved Carver College. In order to prevent any legal controversies over our vast accumulations after our departure, do seize this moment to make our final testament. The class of 1953, claiming full health of body and mind do declare this our last will and testament and render void any wills previously made by us. Such accumu- lations individual and collective as fate has bestowed upon us we dispose of as folfows: To our kind and noble Director, Samuel A. Moore, we bequeath our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our gratitude and the unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. To the Faculty, we bequeath our profound appreciation for their untiring efforts and unselfish service they gave so freely. To our dear Alma Mater, that has so effectively served us the past two years, we pledge our unwavering loyalty and support. To the Freshmen Class, we bequeath our Senior dignity. May they uphold it forever. Elmer Briggs-the ability to look intelligent to Wilbert Alexander. Thomas Brown Jr. -two years of wasted efforts to James Valentine.

The epitonne of distinction. His sincere interest in each student has endeared him to our student body. MR. VERNON A. BUCK, JR. Enthusiastic, well-informed and sincere. Truly a great scholar and teacher. His vast knowledge in all aspects and his ability to impart it are valuable contributions to the profession. After two years of asso- ciation with Mr. Buck we understand Oliver Goldsmith ' s dilemma when in describing his schoolmaster he mused: And still they gazed and still the wonder grew. That one small head could carry all he knew . MRS. RUTHA M. COCROFT Effervescent, indefatigable and poised. Never a moment of ennui in her classes. To us English was like symphony music to the parvenu; intricatebeyond comprehension but delightful to the ear. How to parse verbs might have escaped us, but we found ample compensation in the compelling charm of Mrs. Co- croft ' s rhetoric. MR. KENNETH H. DIAMOND Unassuming, diffident and sagacious. His keen memory, unusual sense of humor and many idiomatic expressions made our French classes memor- able. MRS. LAURA M. BOOTON Efficient, easy going and likable. Her charm and personality have demanded the respect of all her students. Her program for the successful instruction of typing and shorthand has been highly ac- claimed. MR. EDWARD J. HIGH Reserved, aspiring and enterprising. His ability to incorporate confusion in exams is annazing. Yet his demands for full explanation and exactness are in- dispensable in training business majors and accountants. MRS. MILDRED K. BYUARM Self-reliant and amiable. Despite her admonitions and inexorable pace we ap- preciate her conscientious efforts. No master could have keener interest in her charges, no sage could stimulate the thinking processes nnore than this scho- larly lady. MR. GERSON L. STROUD Impartial, earnest, and urbane. Has the gifted ability of argumentation with a sound philosophy of life. His courses are profound and ab- sorbing. DR. EDWARD H. BROWN Nonchalant, diligent and methodical. Zoology, the subject we feared most, was indeed chal- lenging but less difficult and much more interesting than we anticipated. Under the able instruction of Dr. Brown we came through victoriously. MR. JACK G. BENSON Constructive, zestful and considerate. His amusing remarks interspersed in his lectures in trigonometry gave the weary students a chance to smile and catch a glimpse of the lighter side of college life. MR. LOUIS LEVI Human, scholarly and conservative. No mention of classroom notables is complete without due deference to Mr. Levi. Few men can lay claim to a more systematic and never ceasing pursuit of chemis- try. I5i mm HONOR SOCIETY iHippHffiftiiy ' i Seated, Left to Right: Annie M. Johnson, Ruth T.
