CLASS SONG Oh, Carver High School, we love you so, We hate to leave you, but we must go. So cheer up and wear a smile, For our old shadow should last a while. And our advisors we love so dear, They tried to guide us when they were near. So help us to reach our goal That we may travel a higher road. Oh, Carver High School, we love you truly Though in our early years we were unruly So now, we leave our hearts Much pain besets us, for we must part.

f' ,SS Leaving Carver in Nineteen Hundred Fifty-Two .' I , If Au! ,si ,, . A w ' fi M We the Senior Class leave joy for you. We did our best to make a nameg In your memory we hope to remain. In our struggles and troubles we never worried, Our trials and tribulations we always buried. May the road of righteousness lead us ever on In this world where opportunity and freedom was born. Our willing teachers were always near To lend us a hand with kindness and cheerg Our kind principal could always understand And often came up with a helpful plan. The rules of the school we always obey Aware that they help us day by day. Bad language and slang our class put away Because we think it's not for a student to say. We never say, Can't g there's no such word, We just try and try until our prayers are heard. That's why we have such great success: We know ourselves, but others know us best. Keep up old Carver with opportunity for all, Give our praises to the large and small. To our dear teachers we say Good-bye , Fond memories of you will never die. Although it's now time to say farewell In our hearts Carver will always .dwell. In memories we're sure to sigh When we think of the day we said, Good bye. Our final words have now been spoken, Our aching hearts are broken. With tears in our eyes we leave old C.H.S. We're proud to say we've done our best! Written By Barbara A. Holland

CLASS HISTORY The great day of September 7, 1947 arrived and forty-three eighth graders from different sections of the county found their way to Room 203 to be divided into two sections. Mrs. Florence Prunty and Mrs. Janie Williams were our homeroom advisors with Mrs. Williams taking twenty-one of us in her 8th B section, while Mrs. Prunty kept twenty- two in her Sth-A section. The fact that we were a very loud and active class caused some people to think that we would stay that way for the rest of our four high school years. But we were mostly interested in seeing just how high school life was. In June all of us passed with just three dropping out of school. When school opened in September 1948, we were divided again into two sections, the 9th A and the 9th B with Mr. William Greene and Mrs. Prunty as our advisors. During this year we became more reserved because we were then officially in high school. To show our progress we gave a grand Freshman Banquet that our girls prepared themselves. This year brought us other fame, for Juber Preston won the Mister Carver contest and our freshman boys were the champions of the school Intra-Mural Tournament. Our sophcxnore year began with the sa.me advisors but a much small- er enrollment. ln spite of this, we worked hard because we knew we had to sponsor many social activities the next year. Edith Wiley brought us praise by winning the Miss Bobby Sox Contest and many of our boys became basketball conscious. Our Junior year began with a new president, Arthur Preston, a veteran, who headed our class with much determination. We also had a new advisor, Mr. J. T. Mason, who assisted Mrs. Prunty and our class with plans for the Junior -Senior Prom, May King-Queen Contest , Teachers' Popularity Contest, and other social affairs which proved to be quite successful. Along with these we presented our Junior Play, The House of A Thousand Thrills which we enjoyed producing. We were really proud this year because members of our class were star athletes, trainers, and managers of both girls' and boys' basket- ball teams, and Juber Preston was captain of the boys' team. Again our boys were champions of the school Intra Mural Tournament. Although our class has dwindled to twenty-one, we have had a very successful senior year with a new class advisor, Mr. lrvin Cannaday , who has ably assisted Mrs. Prunty and the class in devoting time and efforts to the 1952 Carver Eagle which we hope will bring Carver pride. We have been active in all the extra -curricular activities and have held offices in a number of them.
