In May of the year, we approached the special event we had all looked forward to since entering Carver in 1958. The theme of our prom was Stardust. The success of this, our long awaited Junior-Senior Prom was considered an excellent one. From our most popular class the following students were elected: William Baker, President, Dorothy Grady, Vice President, Doris Royall, Secretary, Robert Wheeler, Parliamentarian, and Carol Cobb, Editor of the Carver Tip. Now that the year 1961-62 has finally come when we shall spend our last days in high school, there are sad hearts and glad ones, too, for it is the year which contains the day when we will walk down the aisle and smile and remember with warm hearts, the red streak that the Seniors of '62' painted in the hearts, have of the students, teachers, and our principal, Mr. G. C. Hawley. We have chosen the following officers to guide us along with our competent advisors, Mr. M. A. Blount, Miss P. Y. Malloy, and Mr. B. F. Clark: William Baker, President, Lonnie Bennett, Vice President, Doris Royall, Secre- tary, Richard Sauls, Treasurer, Cora Jackson, Reporter and Dorothy Grady, Editor. For us this is the last year for us to participate in the various organizations sponsored at Carver High School. Robert Wheeler, President of the N. F. A. , Lillie Pearsall, President of the N. H. A. , Lonnie Bennett, President of the Glee Club, Alice Adams, President of the Commercial Club, and Carol Cobb, Vice President of the National Honor Society are a few of the offices held by some of the members of our class. The Senior National Honor Society is a very active organization at Carver. Members are: William Baker, Lillian Brinson, Reporter, Myrtle Bynum, Vice President, Mary Goodman, Assistant Secretary, Dorothy Grady, Christine Henderson, Secretary, Janet McClain, Annie Outlaw, Lillie Pearsall, President, Doris Royall, Treasurer, and Marjorie Worrell. We are immensely proud of the students of the Senior Class who are Honor Roll and Honor students. After graduating from High School many of us will have only the memories of our high school days, but for others the days spent at Carver High School will always linger. For these memories, we wish to thank the teachers, principals, former students who helped to make these days Everlasting. Historians: MARIAN C. HENDERSON CAROL COBBS MARJORIE WORRELL

Glass J fi's ory The Senior class of 1962 is one that we consider to be grandest of all. It has been previously proved that success comes to those who wait and are prepared for it. Throughout the past four years, the students who are departing have strived for that which is supreme. On a pleasant day in September, 1958, approximately one hundred thirty students entered Carver High School as Freshmen, many of them this being their first year as students at Carver. During that year our class received many ups and downs, but with our principal, Mr. E. K. Tolbert, and our homeroom teachers: Mr. Wright, Mr. L. W. Hickerson, Miss L. B. Hardy, and Mrs. N. G. Washington to assist us, we finally began to settle down and acquaint ourselves with our surroundings. Many of our classmates participated and held offices in various activities and organizations such as: Glee Club, N. H. A. , N.F. A. , Dramatics Club, Science Club, Band, etc. Dorothy Grady was elected Miss Homecoming Queen and N.F. A. attendant. We closed our freshman year with many of our classmates receiving honors and being Honor Students. In the fall of 1959 we again entered Carver, a little calmer than the previous year, with approxi- mately the same number of students. Our advisors for the year were Mr. J. Creech, Miss L. B. Hardy, and Mrs. G. G. Whitley. Achievement, success, and honor were our by-words for our many triumphs. We were quite proud of our students, approximately fifteen were listed as Honor Roll Students. A few receiving such honors were: William Baker, Lillian Brinson, Carol Cobb, Mary Goodman, Alice Green, Christine Henderson, Janet McClain, Lillie Pearsall, Doris Royall, Richard Sauls, Marjorie Worrell, Robert Bowden, and others. Doris Flowers, Dorothy Grady, and Richard Sauls entered the District Typing Contest. Again many of our classmates joined various activities and organizations. Geraldine Kornegay was chosen Miss N.F. A. Queen. Before the close of the school year, the Junior Class needed the able assistance of some of our outstanding classmates, such as Lonnie Bennett, Carol Cobb, Donial Codgell, Doris Flowers, Vernon Robinson, Dorothy Grady, Billie Southerland, Geraldine Kornegay, Windell Sutton, and Marva Lee to make the Junior-Senior prom a success. We concluded the year with a great number of our classmates receiving certificates and medals for maintaining a high degree of scholarship. As the summer vacation months quickly rolled away we entered Carver with approximately one hundred-twenty-one Juniors of 1960-61. Our advisors for that successful year were Mrs. M. B. Chasten, Mr. B. F. Clark, and Mrs. G. G. Whitley. We believe this to have been the best year ever spent at dear old Carver. Aside from looking forward to the Junior-Senior Prom we also looked forward to winning all of our basketball games, since such great stars as Billy Stilts Southerland, Lonnie Hup Bennett, Franklin Lips Miller, Vernon Satch Robinson, Carl Best, Henry Gaines, Dennis Kelly, and James Robinson were on the team. However, we were disappointed, but still very proud of our boys for the efforts that they displayed. During the year our class officers were: William Baker, President, Billie Southerland, Vice President, Carol Cobb, Secretary, Minnie Bizzell, Assistant Secretary, Dorothy Grady, Treasurer, Hooper Monk, Parliamentarian, and Geraldine Kornegay, Reporter. Many of our students were still members of various organizations. Those who were members of the National Honor Society for

Gfass CPropfiecy Classmates, it is a well-known saying often proven true, that Coming events cast their shadows before. Therefore, it is not hard as many people suppose for one who takes the trouble to study the comings and goings of his fellow-creatures, to be something of a prophet, and to form some idea of what their future course of action will be. I have, just for the sake of practice, or as a means of preparation, kept a sharp eye on all of you, when you were perhaps unaware that you were being observed or studied at all; so I feel that I have judged with some degree of accuracy the lives into which your personal characteristics and inclinations have led you. A vision of the future in the form of a dream appeared to me recently. It was a strange and unusual dream; yet, a revealing one of my classmates of 1962. The courses of their lives had led them into many careers. I saw Delmas Davis, George Grandy, and Levernal Langley as members of the Armed Forces. Jimmy Price and Robert Wheeler were Pilots in the Air Forces, flying the latest jets. Cora Jackson was also serving her country in the Air Force. Hooper Monk, a successful Politician, was for- ever debating with members of Congress. As my scenery began to change, I caught a glimpse of that famous Guitarist, Bobby Swinson as he prepared to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show. Also awaiting their appearance were the Cordells, con- sisting of Earl Wright, Vernon Robinson, Franklin Miller, and Lonnie Bennett, Their latest song was number one throughout the nation. My dream began to take another course, this time to the sport spotlights of the United States. There I saw Billie Southerland, James Robinson, Henry Gaines, and Carl Best, as Professional Basket- ball stars, onto the court ! The actions they were displaying were true reflections upon the excellent coaching they had received in former years. As I continued into the future further, I saw those who were exhibiting their excellent abilities in the teaching profession. Janet Bell, Delores Fields, Franklin Miller, Rachel Wall, and Myrtle Bymun - were behind their desks in vari ous classrooms instructing their students. In the high school department I saw Amelia Jones as a Social Studies teacher and Doris Royall as a Commercial Instructor. Dorothy Grady, Janet McClain, and Fredrick Waters were considered the most outstanding Mathematicians in their field. Wendell Stuton was a successful Doctor of Medicine in Washington, D. C. Walking down the corridors of General Hospital were several Registered Nurses who looked familiar. As I studied each of them more closely, I recognized them as Wilma Hooker, Mary Goodman, Donnie Flanagan, Shirley Louis, and Juliateen Wright. Across the city, Marjorie Worrell was a Registered Nurse at Walter Reed
