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.
