HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '50 We were talking about our yearbook in English class the other day. 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
