During those years we gave our teachers some unusual troubles and were known as the terrors of the grade school. During our eighth year of school life we were joined by sev- eral pupils from Newland School, whom we soon grew to like very much. In 1948 we started out on a completely new experience, the great adventure of entering high school. We had many interests that year, such as sports, F. F. A., F. H. A. and Glee Club. Then came our Sophomore year. By this time we had almost learned the ropes of high school and liked it very much. The highlight of our Sophomore year was the wiener roast, which we gave on the Canal Bank for the seniors. Everyone had loads of fun. And lhen in 1950 we started our Junior year. We were kept very busy during the whole year preparing for the various events we had to take part in. Here are some of the happenings which stand out most clearly in our minds: First is our Junior-Senior Banquet, which we feel was a great success; and of course receiving our class rings was a milestone on that great road of life! There was also the task of pre- senting our Junior Play- which went over fine in spite of the doubts which some of the cast had. Then during the last week of school we took over the Senior privileges. Boy! Did we have fun? This last part we are forced to write with a note of sadness, for it is the ending of our high school life. We have had many interesting experiences, and have learned numerous bits of knowledge for which we can thank our various teachers who have served us so faithfully. After four years of high school, Mrs. Alma Jackson is still our home room teacher; and everyone is glad she has stuck with us. We have enjoyed this year with all our classmates and appreciate the fine banquets and parties given us. But it is time for us to conclude a stretch of our lives of which we are all proud, and continue on life's road learning to do by doing. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT State of North Carolina, County of Pasquotank We, the Senior class of Central High School, in the year of Our Lord Nine- teen Hundred and Fifty-Three, being of sound mind, but considering the uncer- tainty of our future careers, do make and declare this our last will and testament: ARTICLE I Section I. To our principal, MR. BASNIGHT, we leave our deepest appreci- ation for the many kind things he has done for us in school. Section II. To our home room teacher, MRS.

To the faculty, we leave our sincere appreciation for the part they have played in our lives. ARTICLE II Section I. To the Senior class of '54 we leave all our Senior privileges. Section II. To MR.

CLASS PROPHECY Walking through the woods one day, we came upon four witches, the queen and three others. These sisters seemed friendly to us, so we asked them some questions about our class- mates of '53. The queen immediately told her three charges to gather all the strange ingre- dients necessary for thi$ particular brew of the future. From this concoction we discovered these interesting facts about the future: CHARLES SHARBER happily married to Jo Fay Cartwright and owns a large tract of land in Newland. He is a successful farmer and the proud father of twin girls. JOYCE TARKENTON BRIGHT has traveled many miles since 1953. It seems that the navy needs her husband in all stations. Joyce states that they will raise their family when Harry returns. The new filling station that BILLY BROTHERS owns is really fine, but we would like to know if his conscience hurts him when he sells three quarts of gas for a gallon. We saw CAROLYN CREEF, her husband, and their three little boys down the street. She had the boys dressed in Air Force suits and they were the image of their father. GERALD BRAY is such an eminent person that we need not tell you anything except that he's Professor at the University of N. C. You remember what a flirt PHYLLIS DAVIS used to be? Well, she still is. She's been mar- ried six times and I hear she is getting a divorce from the sixth husband next month. JAMES OWNLEY has finished State with top honors in Agriculture and is doing a fine job as County Farm Agent. GLORIA GREGORY is now home on leave, before taking her first trip to Russia as a Flight Nurse in the Air Force. JERRY HARDESTY is going to open one of his biggest shows on T. V. next month entitled What Happens to All the Women. LOIS JEAN SAWYER was recently selected by the President of the U. S. to be his private secretary. Coach HARRY BLEVINS and his wife Margie now have four boys, Freddie, Junior, Rickie and Davy. They must be planning to raise a football team of their own. LINA WILLIAMS, since her brilliant debut a few years ago, is gaining popularity in society every day. She is now engaged to a rich socialite. We see AUBERY and ALBERT OWNLEY carrying on a business together. They have just pur- chased a local Neon Sign Company. It seems that MARGARET ANN BRITE is more interested in a career than in married life. She is now a nurse in the Gastonia Hospital in Gastonia. We all remember CHARLES FLETCHER working in the Colonial Store after school hours. He liked his job so well that he is still there and is now assistant manager. We were surprised when they told us that ALICE RHODES was in Washington, D. C. We find that she has been promoted to a higher typing job. Something must have been changed be- cause she didn't like typing in High School. Here is that quiet fellow, JAMES JENNINGS, who has really gone far. He is the head Doc- tor at the Veterans' Hospital in Hampton, Virginia. MARTHA ANN GREGORY is now the wife of a Doctor in Florida. She also has a job as typist in her husband's hospital. GEORGE MANOS is now the General Manager of one of the outstanding Funeral Homes in Elizabeth City. LESSIE MAE CARTWRIGHT was ambitious to go to Washington, D. C., to work for the F. B. I. Well, she did. But after three months she decided to give it up and settle for Neil. JIMMY OWENS is a butcher. He has just built himself a meat market on Martin Street in Elizabeth City. CAROLYN ETHERIDGE has just come back from Paris where she and her husband spend the winter months. She is now getting ready for one of her biggest shows in Hollywood, You Once Belonged to Me. As we get news of these classmates we find JIMMY JONES singing a new musical picture in Hollywood, Blue Star Dust. EDITH HUDSON has two boys plus a successful farmer (L. E.). They live on Newland Road in a brick home where she runs a part-time Designing and Tailor's Shop. CAROLYN JONES has really gone forward with her athletic ability. She is now coach for the basketball team of E. C. T. C. in Greenville.
