CLASS HISTORY The preceding years have beenjoyful and exciting for the senior class of Carver High School. We have awes, thoughts, bothers and blurred images advanced into a sophisticated mind. Now that we know life as it is and dream of our future, we are now ready to follow in the paths of old Carver graduates. We entered high school just beginning to realize what it really means to do our best. Our dreams were as they are now, of the future and what would become of us if we advanced farther in life. Though we have taken a long journey, it seems to us now that it has been a short while since we started. We have had our fun and experiences all of which served to edu- cate us and show us the way to establish ourselves as men and women. In our freshman year many of our members were participating in var- ious activities, such as, the Glee Club, the Dramatics club and athletics. As sophomores we were represented in athletics by Harvard Hairston, Otis Massey, Donald Matthews, Frank O’Neal, Hubert Caldwell for the football team. Harold McClure, James Durham, Robert Steele and Au- gusta Martin were stars on the basketball team. Our Junior year we were very anxious to attend our first Junior and Senior Prom. This year our class had become better acquainted with the organizations and activities of the school. Arthur Payne, John Martin, Carnell Landingham, Camilla Lash, Mary Willia, Hubert Caldwell, Henry Hairston, Denoris Cloud, and Veronica Douglas were Thespians. Mary Williams was crowned Miss Carver High School, Wilhelmina Black won first place in the oratorical contest. Samuel Stimpson, Lorraine Thomas, Arthur Payne, John Martin, Perry Lee Means, Mildred Kim- brough, William Shouse, Peggy Hairston, Virginia Caldwell, Jimmy Crump and Nathaniel Mclwain played in our schol band. This class was represented in the Glee Club and the Dramatic club, with thirty repre- sentatives. 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, we say thanks. Thanks for correcting us when we were wrong and taking us into consideration our feelings, ideas, wants and fancies, for now we see the part you have played in helping us stay on our tracks and kept us from falling along the wayside. To our individual instructors I might say thanks. Thanks for giving us your suggestions when they were needed and for taking part in our joys and especially our griefs. In closing it is my pleasure to wish those who follow us much success, in behalf of the class of nineteen hundred and fifty. Richard Lowe
