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

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1959 volume:

Foreword As the darkness that marks the end of another school year upon the campus, the graduating class of 1959, proudly presents the third edition of 'The Tiger. We have attempted to produce a yearbook for Carver students everywhere to show with pride. We hope that our endeavor has been fulfilled, for we have worked diligently toward this end. Although we feel that this is the greatest Tiger ever, we hope that future Tigers will become even better. It is with great pride that we, the Tiger Staff of 1959, present to you the fruits of our labors; an everlasting memory of the Red Brick School in Mount Olive, North Carolina. Frances Amanda Henry Editor-in- Chiet Dedication We, the Senior Class of 1959, dedicate this volume of the Tiger to our beloved parents who thus far have made it possible for us to reach these heights. Wecould neverbe more appreciative of the understanding, patience, guidance, encouragement, care, and above all, parental love. It is with love and pride that we dedicate this book, the 1959 'Tiger , asa token of ourappreciation for you being such OUTSTAND- ING parents. The Staff Annual Staff Co-Editor — Cornell Newkirk EDITORS Business Manager — Prettlo Musgrave Co-Editor — Cornell Newkirk Sports Editor — George Goodman Editor — Frances Henry Art Editor Walter Giles Advertising Editor — Charles Robinson Class Editor — Annie Grady Principal's Message Your production of the 1959 annual is an indication of the quality of work that can be achieved through effort and co-operation. Beware there is more hard work, sacrifices, difficulties, and privations to be en- dured before graduation. These experiences will add confidence, courage, influence, and power in mature years. Remember that the prestige of graduation from high school will be of tremendous value to you during future years. It will open the door for many opportunities of re- sponsibility and advancements. There opportunities would remain forever closed but for your high school diploma. E. K. Tolbert, Principal Mrs. R. B. Armwood, Secretary Music MRS. A.B. CONNOR Librarian English MRS. E.J.

Durante as Chief Astronaut, whose destination was to reach the moon by June 2, 1959. So we began sailing in our orbit with Mrs. R.J. Durante, Mr. L.W. Hickerson, and Mrs. H.J. Bivens as our Astronauts. Now that our Freshman year had zoomed off to 60,000 miles an hour we began engaging in air tight activities and being successful in accomplishing these tasks, this gave us the courage which we needed to continue on. The receiving of honors on Honors Day went to: Frances Henry, Etta Budd, Kenneth Stephenson, Charles Robinson, Lillian Middleton, Prettlo Musgrave and Ruby Smith gave all of us aspira- tion to do our best during the rainbows that followed. Second we sailed through the orbits of our sophomore year with great speed in various activities that blows about 120,000 miles high in the cool air space of the orbit such as: Dramatics with Hattie Royall, Prettlo Musgrave playing the major roles in the thrilling Melodrama The Youngest , Walter Giles and Charles Robinson playing the leading roles in Plucked Peacock. Our Student Council was still cruising when Lillian Middleton was elected Secretary and Frances Henry, Hostess. The New Homemakers of America were orbiting high when Ruby Smith became State Historian of the N.H.A. The 4-H Club was proud to have two winners, Jacquelyn Durham in a Breadmaking Demonstration and Edna Martin in a Dairy Foods Demonstration. George Goodman became sports editor of the school paper. We came down for refueling that year with Doreatha Fields, Ruby Smith, Lillian Middleton, Charles Robinson, Stewart Armwood, George Goodman, Frances Henry and Jerome Kornegay serving at the Junior- Senior Prom. We zoomed up with a speed of 180,000 miles per hour breaking the sound barrier with the Junior-Sen- ior Prom whose theme was Evening In Paris . There were speeches by our president, Charles Robinson, and also the president of the Senior Class, Leslie Lofton. Second prize went to Prettlo Musgrave who participated in the District Typing Contest, while Lillian Middleton and Ruby Smith were presented to North Carolina Society as 1957 Debutantes. We have launched the moon of knowledge with the following officers leading the way: President, Lillian Middleton; Vice President, George Goodman; Secretary, Ardella McKinney; Assistant Secretary, Edna Martin; Treasurer, Ruby Smith. Soon we will be taking off again to accomplish that final aim in the realm of interplanetary travel . We leave this thought with you, Aim at the stars if you only reach the tree top.

McKinney In Memory Marva Lee Bowden departed this life March 4, 1958. She was an active member of North East Baptist Church. Her many attributes made her quiteactive in the religious lifeof the community . In her church she was a member of the choir and quite active in the Youth Conferences. In school she was a member of the N.H.A., the Library Club and Student Council. Her dynamic person- ality won her a host of friends. It is only human for us to miss a departed loved one, when the Heavenly Father sees fit to call them home, but it is divine to bow our hearts in humble obedience to His infinite wisdom and say, Thy wi 1 1 be done . To the memory of Marva, we dedicate this page of our Annual . Her short stay here could be de- scribed by the following quotation: I expect to pass through this world once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creatures, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. THE STAFF Miss L.B.
