The girls and boys were a little timid after just leaving home, but it wasn't long before we felt as if it were our school too. Our class was un- usually large; therefore it had to be divided. Our teachers were Mrs. Annie Brite and Mrs. Lelia Yates Harris, who patiently tried to teach us reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic. During the next few years we sailed along rather smoothly, although our class was still divided. In the eighth grade we had a wonderful time. We began acting like grown-ups since we knew it wouldn't be long before we would be graduating from Elementary School. In the year of 1947 we entered high school. It was during this year that we had several New- land students join us. Again our room was di- vided. Miss Mattie Brite and Miss Dorothy Gallo- way were our home room teachers. The officers from Miss Brite's room were Carolyn Ives, Mar- garet Ann Pritchard, Kathleen Ownley, and Cal- vin Hudson. The officers from Miss Galloway's room were Sara Ferrell, Bobby Cooper, Helen Lee Jackson, and Judith Lee Temple. Perhaps the high-lights of the year were the Mother- Daughter and Father-Son Banquets. Most of us survived the freshman years but a few dropped out to take another course in life. Our divided class was now combined to remain the rest of our school years. Miss Mattie Brite who was to be our teacher through the rest of our school years was our home room teacher. During the year we had several more Newland students to join us. We chose Adrienne Mc- Pherson, Helen Lee Jackson, Kathleen Ownley, and Ed Harris as our home room officers. Next we were juniors, A big present came for us just before Christmas, our class rings. Then we had our junior play, The Atomic Blonde. Last but not least came our Junior- Senior Banquet that we had been looking for- ward to, for such a long time. Our class officers were Calvin Hudson, Judith Lee Temple, Kath- leen Ownley, and Rachel Carter. Now we are Seniors. We chose Helen Lee Jackson, Barbara Ann Bundy, Barbara Lee Har- desty, and Bobby Cooper for our officers. Calvin Hudson, our Junior Class President, is now presi- dent of our Student Council. Nothing exciting has happened yet, but we are looking forward to the greatest excitement of all, our graduation. 14 CLASS PROPHECy Elizabeth City, North Carolina, June 1, 1961. A party was held last night at the Virginia Dare Hotel to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the 1951 graduates from C. H. S. It was a gala occasion and everyone seemed to have a won- derful time. The main attraction was EARLINE TAFT and La Rue Lynn who flew from N. Y. to give a performance equal to the one they do each night at the D. H. S. The most pleasing part of the occasion was that each member of the class was present, even ADRIENNE McPHER- SON, now Mrs. Harry E. Winslow, who came all the way from California. DORIS LEE STORY with her dream boat happily hanging on her arm, was able to get all the who's who and what they are doing from everyone. She discovered BILLY OLD and Sylvia were living in Texas raising billy goats and kids. BARBARA LEE HARDESTY has her own baby sitting company. She made quite a bit on the party as her employees were cer- tainly needed last night. MARY JANE McPHER- SON is now a full fledged nurse and is patiently waiting for her chance to nurse a certain school teacher. CLAUDIA RAYE SAWYER and NOR- RIS MURPHY are happily married and making their home in Newland. CALVIN HUDSON and SETH CARTER, both being interested in clothes, now are the proud proprietors of Elizabeth City's leading haberdashery. BETTY LUE SMITH is now Mrs. Ray Reed with two little sprouts. BOBBY COOPER is now head of this county's Agriculture Department, the job formerly held by Mr. Lowry. CAROLYN IVES is now looking for her fourth husband and has decided to use her charms on MELVIN SAWYER, who thus far seems happy as a confirmed bachelor. JUDITH LEE TEMPLE has just completed her book entitled The Cure For Authoritis. JANE SINGLETARY has become a famous artist with dozens of men at her finger tips, but none capable of capturing her heart. This was a double celebration for CECIL RHODES and RUBY NEIL BRITE as it is their ninth wedding anniversary. EDWARD HARRIS is coaching the Pirates of Elizabeth City. WILMA DEAN IVY has a Ladies Dress Shop next door to Seth and Calvin and BARBARA ANN BUNDY is her leading model. ANNE SAWYER and EMILY BRITE are running the City's most Modern Beauty Salon. WAYNE WINSLOW and his new bride Shirley were mak- ing Goo Goo eyes at each other. FANNIE CREEF'S future was decided long ago when she added Mrs. to her name. HELEN LEE JACKSON got her old job back at the Telephone Company and is now Chief Operator. CHARLOTTE SAW- YER is a school teacher at Central High. BETTY LOU WYATT is also a nurse, but isn't waiting for any certain patient. KATHLEEN OWNLEY is now Secretary to one of N. C. leading min- isters. After everyone joined in singing Onward Green Waves AUBREY SANDERS closed the party with a prayer that we could get together at the end of ten more years—1971. 15 LAST HULL MID IfSIRDlfDI We, the 1951 Senior Class of Central High School with the cooperation of our faculty and parents, have reached our goal for graduation, but only to start out in a new world and begin our careers, which we hope will bring us success.
