CLASS HISTORY It has been almost four years now since we, the Senior Class, came to Carver, and an interesting four years it has been. We have our fears, dreams, wonders, bewilderment, and confused ideas developed into one glorious feel- ing of triumphant victory, now that we are on the threshold of life as it really is, life as we will know it in years yet to come; life as those who proudly marched out of Carver before us are now living. We came to Carver straining our every sense, trying to imagine what would become of us in all the long years that lay ahead of us. It now seems as if we only rode through a very short tunnel and are now emerging and saying to ourselves ’twas not bad at all.” It has actually been a great deal of fun, and has supplied most of us with scores of wonderful experiences which we could never have forgotten had we chosen some other way to man and womanhood. Our Freshman year was very exciting. Our class officers were as follows: President, Pauline Williams; Vice President, Juetta Palmer; Secretary, Dorothy Spease; and Treasurer, Daisy L. Levan. Even though we were just getting over the excitement of being in High School, our class was recognized in almost all of the activities and organiza- tions on the campus. Alma Joyce and Pauline Williams received dramatic honors from the play The Groom Said No”. Juetta Palmer held an office as President of the Y-Teen Club and Aldine Cloud, Earl Witherspoon, Edward Patton, and James Jones represented the class in football and basketball. The only thing we could look forward to in our Junior year was the Junior-Senior Prom. This year the members of our class had become better acquainted with the organizations and activities of the school. Sarah Hairston, Alma Joyce and Earl Witherspoon became members of the Thespian Society. Pauline Williams, Eveline Pinkney, Mary Hunter and Lucy Manns represented the class in the Glee Club. Juetta Palmer received a gold basketball from the Central Carolina Athletic Association which was held at Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It is impossible for any one of us to tell, or give any idea of the career of this class, but I think I voice the sentiments of each and everyone when I say it has been wonderful. To our principal, Mr. Hill, I’d like to say thanks. Thanks for being just as you were when we thought you were wrong and inconsiderate of our feelings, whims, and desires, for we now see that had it not been for the strong, firm, guiding hand you extended us, many who are now proudly wearing class rings would have long before fallen by the side of the road. Again in behalf of myself and the class as a whole may I say thank you. To our individual instructors who have struggled with us, and tried to see each one of us as an individual, regardless of our number, and have shared with us in sorrow as well as in joy, may I say thank you every one. In closing, here’s hoping better, more successful High School days to the classes that follow us out of the portals of Dear Ole Carver. JUETTA PALMER.
