Carver High School - Tiger Yearbook (Mount Olive, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 44 of the 1948 volume:

Tha Ssnior Cl!a«« of 1948 wa« «axip,ht in tlie m«ler of trans- ition fronr the eleventh grade to the twelfth grade high •ahool. It wa« not beeause of our dimbnese, that we had to pend five y«ar« in high eehool, but boeauee of the addition of the extra grade. In 1944, we entered high e.chool with an enrollment of tiity eight etudente. This wa« our eighth year which wae eoneidered a part of high eehool, but that sane year, the transition b egan , consequently, we had the lonusual pleasure of having two freshman years. The freshman years of '44 and '45 were full of aetton . Tho students were anxious to partieipate In the extra- eurrisjilar ast- ivitios and, as Bumepl their duties and responsibilities graeiously, to put the plans'of the sehool over, in grand style. Our sophomore year was even more exettlng than the two pre- vious years. A large group was elscted to the •'Crown and Ssepter Club , because of their scholastic ability. So many of the Class were elected, in fact, that the club;was- predominately members of the elass of ' 48. . The fall of 1946 s aw us entering our Junior year 'as members of upper-elassmen , we began to assume our dignity , oy leering and sneering at the anti«s of the lowly flower-elassmen. One of our greatest achievements of that year was the Prom , at which time we entertained the Seniors in the Auditorium. The orchestra was very good and we had a radio-combination to play as many waltzes as we desired!' At long last, our Senior year is upon us, and are we busy!' We plan to leave the school a gift, be it ever so small; we have our rings;we are trying to sell pens and pencils; and we are try- ing to produce an Annual this year.: e are aware that we hav undertsien a tremendous task, but we believe we can do it , if. anybody here at Carver can. The class has been divided into three groups. One group has presented the Selah Singers , an outstanding male quartet of our section. Another group 4s attempting to get a swing band'.here. for a concert. By way of retrospect, Mr. Konroe has been our faculty ad- visor tha„who?le five years we have been in high school! Quite a coincidence, isfc't it ?H1 brusqucnsss' has helped some of u who tend to be introverted to assert ourselves more; his franknecs encouraged many of us to get ip the habit of eallinf, a spade a spade; and his st rictnees- of ' disclpiinei kept us in th« straight and narrow. Although we did not always see eye to eye with Hr. Monroe, we always felt free to go to him for advice. He are grateful ta hin for his sense of humor and understanding. AS we prepare to leave the sacred walls of dear old Carver, we have a feeling of sadness. It seems as though we were leaving a vital part of ourselves behind. However, we will find other associates at the various schools of higher learning to which we are planning to go. AS we launch out a little farther into the world, we hope that the Imprint , on the sands of time, that we make, will be a distinct and lasting contribution to society. As we raise our imaginary glasses in a toast to our faculty and ourselves , we say: Here's to Carver, and may our having matriculated hire serve as an incentive to other boys and girls to come regularly to the place that has become somewhat of a shrine to us and thus make their contribution to our civilization .

Officers elected by the association have been very efficient in t e handling of the affairs of the group. Their prime purpor - .uit been to help the school in every way possible. The Carver P.T.A. was begun in 1323 with a ineaber mip of thirty-five. The present membership is one hundred with average attendance of tv enty-f ive. The pro- ams of the year have served several purposes , to bring parents and teachers closer together through group dis- cussions consisting of both parents and teachers; to ferret out th; needs of the school through round-table discussions and speaker- type programs. Each monthly program is begun with music of some kind. Often the program includes renditions from students and other organizations such as the musical clubs of the city. Occasionally, an educational picture is shovm, followed by simple refreshments furnished by the P.T.A. Some of the years projects have been : 1. The purchasing of posts which were white-washed of canipus beautif ication. 2. The pijrchasing of thirty books to be used by students of the sex education classes. S.The observance of Founders Day in honor of Mr. H.P. Walker. 4. The dividing of the city into sections, each h'Jivin- a Gx-ade mother whose dutyis to assist in keeling ohildre:! n sohijl 5. Tlie sponsoring of the P.T.A. drive to bring more parents in- to the organization. 6. The sending of delegatesto the district and state meetings. 7. The placing of safety lanes in front of the school. The entertaining of the district P.T.A. in the fall of the school year 1 17-1 '4,'',. Next year the organization is planning to publish a bulletin in the hope that it will stimulate more interest a:nong the p:.rent: in the association, by setting forth the nro?ram of the year 48-49 at the bep innlni? of the school term. thiBS allowinsr the parents to be- come acquainted with the nro.lects and .tonics. Such a procedure will enable them to lock at the -p.T.A. wcrk to be done aa a unit. This will also encourage raor  narent pattici-atioTi. Thfs F.T.A. publlcitv has be iii handled by loc°l. an w ll as out-of- +.owm publications. The p- ps  r-t officers ar« : Prosidont Mrs, S.L.Lane Vico ■prftf;iii« nt.
