FOREWORD “Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and departing leaving behind us. Footprints on the Sand of Time.” This book is our life. Each page is intended to provoke reminiscence, because it is here that we have lived. This book bears attention to Carver’s scenic beauty, to her perpetual spirit, and to the loyalty of her sons and daughters. We have inherited her spirit, drunk from her beauty and knowledge, and become a part of her. The duties of the staff have been pleasurable though at times difficult. Each word and each picture within these covers is representative of a school that is making eternal “FOOTPRINTS ON THE SANDS OF TIME”. OUR PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE DR. W. H. WATSON, B.S.; M.A.; Ed.D. There obtain in the world today two general ideologies. One embraces communism, or communistic tenets and the other. Democracy. These two ideologies are being put to the supreme test for survival. So serious is the situation, that the Western Nations are presently locked in combat with those who subscribe to communistic beliefs. For American citizens, communistic beliefs have no place. It is regretable, however, that because of certain weaknesses in our present form of democracy, communists are finding fertile soil here in which to plant their deadly seeds. They play up certain inequalities inherent in our version of democracy, and appear to offer first class citizenship to those segments of our population who are denied legally a few of the privileges en- joyed by the masses. It is easy to see how this approach appeals to the unsuspect- ing among us. As American citizens, we must make democracy work. By implication we agree that there is at present wide variance be- tween democratic principles and practices. In order that this chasm existing between principles and practices may be narrowed, each of us has a very specific and deliberate task to undertake. One of the greatest factors at work today inhibiting the complete realization of our democratic goals is the lack of under- standing. As a people, we tend to consider anything different, or out of our range of experience, as undesirable or inferior. This basically erroneous concept has gained such wide spread acceptance that even many of those affected are found accepting these practices or beliefs. What, then, can we do to allay these present practices? The answer is simple; the task, however, is probably more difficult. We shall have to prove ourselves competent in not only a few areas, but in all areas. I submit a plan of procedure that might well be studied: In the first place, the race personality is not what might be. Admittedly, we have a few negroes in key positions who are no less than ambassadors of good will, and who are consciously or unconsciously, making democracy work. Jackie Robinson is a shining example of persons in this category. Try to balance your scales, however, with the thousands — yes, millions of others- who have neither ambition nor desire to achieve full citizenship status. Such a balance is impossible of achievement. On the contrary, many in this mass category not only register little or no ambition, but really constitute that great body who degrade the race and for whom there is little hope of restitution. I challenge you Seniors of 1952 to make yourselves a hub of democratic ideals from which will radiate good will and under- standing to all mankind. Let all whom you influence see in you democracy at its best. Continue your education whether formally or informally. Seek wider horizons of endeavor. You have the difficult task of proving that, with proper training, you too can achieve in any field, and that you too can make a significant con- tribution. There are at work today forces who would make democracy functional. We should seek to discover who these people are, join their ranks, rid ourselves of undemocratic beliefs, and strive to make ourselves fit intellectually, economically, and morally to accept democratic principles. As we increase our knowledge and understanding of democracy, accordingly, we shall increase our determination to make it work. Good Luck. 1 W. H. WATSON. I i.

At that time we were shy of our school mates and fearful of our teachers. Despite our fears, dreams and handi- caps we resolved our worth. Three years have passed since that memorable day in September, and many of that number have passed off the scene. Because this class is responsible for whatever pleasure you have received from this book, it is altogether fitting that you know something of its history. Our Freshman year was a very exciting one. Our class officers were as follows: President, Charles Robinson; Vice President, Sadie Brown; Secretary, LaVerne Harper; Treasurer, Bettye Amos; Reporter, Teloria Brooks. Although we were just getting ovet the excitement of being in High School, our class was recognized in all activities and organizations on the Campus. During our Sophomore year wo were well represented in all fields of athletics. Lawrence Payne, James Payne, James Powell and James Giles were top stars in football. Jerry Sadler, Evon Watson and Steve Adams were top scoring players in every basketball game. Sadie Brown led the honor roll for the class. What more c; n we ask for, than a class like this! Then came our Junior year, the most interesting of all. The Junior-Senior Prom was at the top of the list of activities for u , and it was enjoyed by all who attended. During the course of this particular year certain m -tubers of the class led in many contests and also became affiliated with the activities and organi ations of the school. Vecolia Jessup, Josephine Scott, Inez Hart and Richard Herman were initiated into the Thespian Society. Annie Philson was an attendant to Miss Carver High Schoo, of 1950. William Harley, Elliott Thomas and Covater Cooper were members of three years in Student Council. Jasper Powell and Claudette Martin were devoted members of the Band. Moving to the New Carver Consolidated S hool the last half of our Junior year, was an occasion for which we had long anticipated. Witii the assistance of Mrs. Bynum, Mr. Greene and Mr. Forbe, Junior advisors, we were able to make the proper adjustments and we ended this year with much enthusiasm, eager to return the following school year as Seniors. It is impossible for either one of us to tell or give a 1 of the detail accomplishments of our high school career, but I think I voice the sentiments of t ach and everyone when I say it has been -wonderful. To our former principal, Mr. E. E. Hill; to our p esent principal, Dr. W. H. Watson and to our advisors Miss Alexander and Mr. Lash thank you. Thanks for correcting us when we were wrong and inconsiderate in our ideas, whims and desires, for we now see that had it not been for the strong, firm, guiding hand you extended to us, many of us would have fallen along the wayside. In conclusion, it is my pleasure to wish for those who follow us m ich success through their long and tedious journey out of the portals of Dear Old Carver. TELORIA BROOKS. CLASS PROPHECY It is Wednesday night. May 28, 1952, I have just returned from graduation exercises at the Carver Consolidated School on Mickey Mill Road in Winston-Salem, N. C., the graduation was a complete success. With this thought in mind, 1 thumbed through my books and found the annual for 1951-52. While reading, I fell asleep and dreamed . . . dreamed . . . dreamed. A cloud, a white, puffed cloud appears before me. The cloud is now opening, there is a man, a tall handsome man, with a hat, a tall silk hat and a magic wand! He says You my dear are wondering. What the future hold for you and the other students who graduated with you. I am the person, the one person who can tell you! As I see it; the sports world is very appreciative of Steve Adams, Cephus Montgomery, Jerry Sadler, Levon Watson, and James Powell, who are now the famous Harlem Globe Trotters. Anna Bell Philson is modeling the latest fashion on T. V. now a days. Lawrence Payne is football Coach for the great team of A. T. College at Greensboro, N. C., while James L. Payne is Physical Education Instructor and Basketball Coach at Florida A. M. I see David Eccles, John Evans and John Matthews practicing medicine at Freedman Hospital. Their capable nurses are Sadie Brown, Mattie Lincoln, Agnes Brabham, Delores Doub, Margaret Tillery, and Fannie Wilson. They are now having a Secretarial Convention in New York City. This class is well represented there, Misses Margaret McQueen, Betty Amos, Juanita Gambill, Laura Knox, Alberta Lowery, Vecolia Jessup and Mr. Gilbert Hairston are the top-ranking secretaries there. At the New York University the faculty is punctuated with William Harley, Professor of Chemistry, Hazel Caudle, Claudette Martin, and Inez Hart are English Instructor, Covater Cooper, Hattie Davis and Edna Stokes are French Teachers there. Some one else is coming into sight. Oh, That’s Dr. Counts who is now president of Howard University. On the corner of one hundred twentieth street at Fifth Avenue, there is a unique dress shop owned by Teloria Brooks who is a dress designer. Working there are Marion Jones, Ruthie Byrd and Marie Poole. The faculty at Carver has increased I must admit. Some of these are Mildred Cain, Thomasue Springs, Dorothy Jones, Hubert Jones, Edna M. Stokes, Sarah Brabham, Helen Steele, Naomi Spann, and Carl Welch. I hear that LaVerne Harper is touring Europe where she is mounting the ladder of success in the musical world. Ollie Butler is winner of a Beauty Contest for the title of ' Miss North Carolina. By the way, Sunday I had the privilege of attending church services at the First Baptist Churr’ on Grant Street, Washington, D. C. Samuel Hodges is the pastor here. Curtis Gray, Jr., Turner Wright, Jr., Cleo Thomas and George Clinton Bailey are operating a Bus Line in Chicago, Illinois, with Roland Eller as their Banker. Jasper Powell is now director of the grandest band in the land known as the Little Notes. Thoms Warren and Robert Hunt are still with him. I hear Robert Hunts drum now boom- bing . . , ring . . . That is not a drum. That is your alarm clock. Wake up sleepy head. COVATER COOPER. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the graduating class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-two of Carver High School, in the City of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, being of sound minds have assembled here for the purpose of stating our last will and testament. Our first request is that the memory of this class and its brilliant array of students be kept fresh and frequently presented so as to establish a goal for the Future Seniors.

SUPERLATIVES William Harley M ost Studious Boy SUPERLATIVES Hattie Mae Davis Most Likely to succeed Girl Modestine Counts Most Likely to succeed Boy CLASS POEM The Senior Class has striven hard, To make our record good. And have a record we’d all be proud of, For all to see — why anyone could. We know our task has not been easy, Our road has not been clear. We thought that we’d never make the grade, It was so far — but yet so near. We can’t undo the things we’ve done, Or right the wrong we’ve caused. Or mend the hurt so harshly done, Where we went on, where we should have paused. And now we stand as Seniors, Most all of our work is done, that we had to do. We graduate with honor and glory The Class of Nineteen Fifty-Two. William R. Harley. CLASS SONG Tune: How Can I Leave Thee Dear Alma Mater, We’re ready to depart. The days we’ve loved so well. Have all gone by. Our hearts we give to you; We hate to say adieu, To friends and classmates too; DEAR CARVER HIGH! We’ll be most loyal— Though parting time is here; As on the road of life We now appear. You’ll linger in each heart, Although we’re far apart. To us a mother ari, OLE SCHOOL SO DEAR ' Hail! Alma Mater, How can we bear to leave, We put our trust in thee, And God above. Ne’er more may we behold, or to this place enfold, Thy sons and daughters bold, FAREWELL TRUE LOVE! T. M. Counts.
