CLASS HISTORY It was in the winter of ' 51 when we, the Senior Class of ' 53- ' 54, entered the Carver Consoli- dated School. We were the first freshmen to enter the new school. We were somewhat confused, excited, and, of course, worrying about the future. At this time, we are very proud to look back over our successful high school years and sigh, Better ' n I thought it would be. Our freshman year began with Barbara Anderson as our President; Shirley Hairston, Secretary; Willie Mae Brown, Treasurer. Naturally, being in the of the finest schools in the South, we were a little excited, but this did not hinder our social and athletic abilities. We have been well represented in Athletics from the eighth grade until the publishing of this Yearbook. Albert Caesar Eldridge, Garland Wallace, and Harry Lee Smith have been our aces” in football and basketball throughout this time. In our Sophomore year, however, we found a few more able athletes, namely Charles Baron, Baxter Holman, Linville Hairston, and Ray Little. In our Sophomore year Joanne Byrd, Clara Hairston, Barbara Harris, Barbara Anderson, and Bobby Woods decided to find out what dramatics were like; likewise they joined the Dramatics Club. In their Junior year they starred in the play Stranger in the Night.” Lizzie Knox was presi- dent of the Y-Teens. Lucy White topped the honor roll often. Mary Wharton, Doris Hairston were majorettes for Carver. Samuel NeSmith and William Nelson were able members of the band. Luvenia Davis was an attendant to Miss Carver High.” Entering our Junior year, we had nothing on our minds except the Junior-Senior Prom. Exciting things were happening. Four members of our class won sterling miniature basketballs for obtaining the title of Runners-up in the State Class AAA Basketball Championship Tourna- ment. The prom was a success; it was talked that it was the best prom held in the new school, thanks to our Junior advisers, Mrs. O. H. Bynum, Mrs. M. T. Earl, and Mr. C. S. Greene, who worked so hard to make it such. With our Junior year being the most successful yet, we were anxious to return as Seniors the following year. Due to a disquantity of words we cannot express our thanks to those who were responsible for our success thus far. Our hats are off to our former principals, Mr. Hill, Dr. Watson and to our present principal, Mr. Martin, and especially to our senior advisors, Mrs. Bynum and Mrs. Earl, and to our guidance counselor, Mrs. Hedgley. We can now appreciate your strictness and the interest you seem to have taken in us. We are now beginning to realize that you are not really inconsiderate and nosy. It now seems nice to know that there is someone who really cares about your welfare. You have shared our sorrows and joys, our social and religious ideas. 1 am sure I have the consent of the class when I say thanks a million, it was really worth the bother. Again I say thank you. Well, many things have happened since that winter day in ' 51, and here’s hoping that you have enjoyed it just as much as we have. I am sure that there is not a member of this class who can or will try to forget our most exciting and elating high school career. We shall never forget Dear Ole Carver.” BARBARA ANDERSON, Historian 32
