Central High School - Breaker Yearbook (Elizabeth City, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1950 volume:

Because she has endeared herself to us by her many acts and deeds of kindness during her four years at Central High; because we feel she truly knows how to laugh with us or sympathize with us whenever the need arises; because we value her most as a wonderful friend; and want her to know that we appreciate everything she has done, we lovingly dedicate this, the 1950 BREAKER, to nu BJLk S.

Quite naturally we began to think of many of the things that had happened since we started out together, 48 eager freshmen, four years ago. As we talked, I wrote hurriedly trying to capture the gay moments, the serious ones, to place them here for you to read. First we remembered Miss Mattie Brite who guided us through the ninth grade. There were nine students who came from Newland School that year. We chose Janice Miller, Barbara O'Neal, Clara Mae Whitley, and Melba Bundy for our officers. We were proud to have two of the county winners in the T. B. essay contest, Janice Miller and Bettye Courtney Harris, in our room. At the end of school we had a picnic at Chantilly given by our room representatives. We went swimming and then ate a big picnic lunch. All of us went out for basketball in the tenth grade. In the tournament between the grades we were jubilant at coming out on top. Jimmy Scott, G. F. Johnson, Gene Singletary, Marilyn Carter and Thelma Turner were our officers. Mrs. Beulah Sharber who was to be our teacher through the rest of our school years was our home room teacher. We planned a picnic at the end of school but it rained. Hilarity House , our junior play, was a big success the next year. On February 1 1, 1949, we gave the seniors a lovely Valentine Banquet and theater tickets to So Dear to My Heart . Marilyn Carter, Aubrey Sawyer, and Betty Ann Williams were the marshals chosen from our room. The officers were Clara Mae Whitley, Hazel Tadlock Godfrey, Janice Miller, and Sarah Ownley. A big present came for us just before Christmas, our class rings. We had a picnic at Elizabeth City Beach on the last day of school. We started our last year with thirty proud seniors. We chose Janice Miller, G. F. Johnson, Laura Willie Temple, and Betty Ann Williams for our officers. Mrs. Sharber was still helping us through all our difficulties. We sponsored the bingo booth at the Hallowe'en Carnival and also made plans for our senior play. This year the president of the Student Council which had just been organized came from our room. We looked forward eagerly to the end of school with class night, the baccalaureate sermon, and commencement exercises. Then we began to talk of our plans and hoped for a bright future. We close this book only to open another, in which we'll write the history of our lives. Historian, MELBA BUNDY 14 CLASS PROPHECY Good morning, ladies and gentlemen—this is your roving reporter bringing you all the latest stuff on people in the news today, March 25, 1958. Just last night I was wandering through the Stork Club in New York and saw several old friends. Ran into Annie Teubner—she's the chief cigarette girl there now. G. F. Johnson was there. His horse (Mile-an-Hour) got 35th place in the Kentucky Derby, so he was there drowning his sorrow. Aubrey Sawyer, a we-take-your-money-and-ask-questions-later-man (law- yer) was escorting Hilda Edney Rockefeller Vanderbilt who is his richest client having married and buried two rich husbands. And guess who has written a book? Jimmy Scott—the title: My Mistakes and the Women in my Life —we hear his next one is Farewell, Cruel World . Sarah Frances Cartwright told us all the news from down home about the Class of '50. She is private secretary to Arthur Cahoon, of Pet Milk, Inc. She tells us that Sarah Ownley Meads lives down at Weeksville and has Clarine Godfrey Berry as a close neighbor. Garland Sanders, Ike Harris, and Winfred Foster are farming at home and hope to be breaking even at least by 1999. Little old Corine Owens got herself hitched to an 80 year old millionaire, and lives in Florida. Hazel Godfrey is busy keeping house for her husband and their family. Those who have joined her as housewives besides the ones mentioned above: Melba Bundy Bridgeman and Bettye Harris Meiggs. Leon Ferrell is operating a pool room and James Forehand helps during his spare time (which is when he isn't loafing). Laura Willie Temple is coaching girls basketball at the University of North Carolina, while Janice Miller and Betty Ann Williams are running a beauty shop in Winston-Salem known as the Jani-Bet. Harvey Johnson married a blonde Yankee, but brought her back down South to live. George Woods is playing pro-football at Notre Dame, and they're winning every game. Of course Nora Sawyer is living up near Morgan's Corner and just celebrated her seventh wedding anniversary. Remember Bobby Sawyer? He's down there in Texas and owns about a dozen oil wells. Everyone should know that Clara Whitley is top stewardess on Pan-American Airlines. And then there is Bobby Brothers, Hollywood man now and still breaking the women's hearts. No one seems to know where Thelma Turner is at the present time, but maybe on my next broadcast I will have news from her way. Till then, this is your announcer bidding you good-bye and reminding you Always take Carter's Little Nerve Tablets. Bye now. CLASS WILL We the 1950 Senior Class of Central High School do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. I, Bobby Brothers, leave my good looks to Billy Jones.

To the faculty we leave our love and ap- preciation for all the things they have done to help make our school days a success. To the upcoming Seniors we leave the Senior room, our privilege of going to the buses early; and the feeling it gives you to have the High School stand when you enter the auditorium. Signed and sealed this nineteenth day of January, the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred, and fifty.
