It is a great privilege for me to take this means of saying a formal goodbye, good luck, and God bless you. A large part of the compensation in being an educator lies in the pleasure he derives from seeing youthful ambitions realized, and the tremendous pride which he takes in the success and happiness of “his boys” and “his giris.” I know that the years ahead will bring rich rewards to all of us at Dunbar who have had the pleasure of guiding you in your formative years. You are the future leaders of this community and this nation. Firm application of your abilities and your energies will give encour- agement to thousands of those who will follow. You have contributed much to Dunbar. We hope that Dunbar has contributed something to you. We generally consider that the chief function of the public school is to give training in the three R’s. We accept this as one of society's demands. Yet, no educator would be satisfied were this the only contribution the school could make. I like to feel that Dunbar High School does something more—that it also strives to develop the three Cs— CHARACTER, CONFIDENCE, and COMPETENCE. There is no substitute for character. It cannot be learned from a book. It expresses itself in honesty, fair play, the golden rule, respect, honor, reverence and duty. It is gained by contact and experience, in work and in play, with people and situations which call for the exercise of moral judgment. Above all, it is an asset without which no real and lasting success can ever be achieved. Confidence is two fold. It implies a quiet inner faith that we are equal to the occasion. At the same time, it frees us of the fear and the suspicion that all others are working for our downfall. In other words; it is faith in self and faith in our fellow men. Confidence is the essence of mental health. It gives the necessary poise and balance to differ with others without either a feeling of inferiority or bitter frustration. It will add strength and power to your stature. Com- petence involves not only doing a job, but doing it well. Indifferent performance at any task is always to be avoided. This is the surest road to failure—whether in school or in life. The world is looking for people who can excel in what they are called upon to do. Others are a “dime a dozen.” Whatever your life work may be—strive to be the best there is. As mementos of the years spent at Dunbar take with you the three R’s, but takes also the three Cs—CHARACTER, CONFIDENCE, and COMPETENCE. Very sincerely yours, C. W.

It was unbeknowing to any of these students then, that many of them would ‘be remembered long after their exit from this school. To begin our five year stay, the annual St. Patrick’s Day Ball ferns were presented to the school Assembly. In our Junior year, W financed the traditional Junior-Seniér Prom. In thé final year we gave a contrib towards the purchasing of caps and gowns and a nd to further enhghce our greenness, we initiated ag has been outstanding in its contrépution to the many org activities of Dtabar. . ¥dge Billups, Elliott, Kenneth Epps, @ha Wilbert Lewis, Victor Mille Stamps, John Stamps, Emmit® Werf honors to our Alma Mater. mn Copeland, William Cunningham, Melvin uel Hubbard, Jessig Lewis, Theodore Lewis, LawrencenP fice William Saddler, Garnell ” Ke PP Pe peas eMelvine Griffin, William He Davenport, James Gréeag and Besfie Ross, as well as Frieda MclIvor, and Helen Shg The charming blend of the Irene Reeves, Emmett ight, Ange Woodland, Theodoreg®€wis, Théadot Mclvor, Lowell Wri iam Ff Sarolyn Hughes, Anna Johnson, ght, William Womack, Mary Price, Helen Brice, Frieda fai -opeland, Kenneth Epps, Inez Anderson, Yy ettagfohnson, John Tweed sv ilbert Lewis, Leslie Ross and Christian Davenport have Ingde our chorug excel not only in Lynchburg but in all 4nd music festivals.

In Who's Who in Secondary School the following of Dunbar’s 1953 graduating class might well be included: Wilbert Lewis—delegate to the National Student Council Meeting in Wellesly, Massachusetts. Anna Johnson—outstanding in community activities and interracial Y-Teen Conferences, Lowell Wright—Naval Reserve Prospective candidate for Annapolis Naval Academy. Anne Abbott—delegate to the Red Cross Leadership Training Center at Hood College, Frederick, Maryland. Emma Ross—May Queen 1951-52 and Miss Dunbar 1952-53. [TASS HoRoscopp Having for sometime been possessed with desire of knowing the future experiences of the members of our class, I decided to go to a renowned astrologer who is a friend of mine. I beseeched him to cast the horoscope and read the signs of the heavens which would unveil the shadows of the future. He considers the prophecy of the horoscope to be excellent, but it also contains some unfavorable aspects. Therefore it behooves us to be prepared for the threatening conditions. When it was decreed in 1948 that the future class of 1953 was to be born into Virgo. The sun in Virgo makes its ga@ives P@ssessed of many desirable and great characteristics. They are industrious gaeevery ient clerical workers. They: usually accomplish whatever they set out to show laboriqus the job is.

Sculptors, painters and musicians are often found among these natives. Decorating and designing in all branches are suitable professions for a Libran. Among America’s greatest artists there will be Martha Wimbush and Roy Perry. Since Daisy Johnson and Lorraine Meadows have thought of becoming sculptors, I am sure they will succeed. James Withers and Charles Harris will be great painters. Playing the sweetest music this side of heaven will be Melvin Griffin and Leslie Ross. Beautifying the homes will be Chloteal Steptoe and Hazel Bass as interior decorators. Fashion designers A Mary Woodland and Doris Smith wil be working in Paris. Jupiter, the king of the planéts was in the sign of Taurus. The people of this i The sign are generous, practical and go are fitted with patience and endurance to pursue success. Rosetta nnell will be good, patient, practical mothers of eight children lyn Hug Rosa Pollard will become fine business women who might do With | etermination William Haskins and Vernon Ferguson } vocalists will be Raymond Collins and Robert Y;, ree Saturn, the planet 1 RR Scorpio. The people of this sign are natural scientists and s kaow how to win out in difficult battles of life. Lowell Wright and John Tweedy desire to become chemists. They usually work hard and get results. With his experience McDonald Pullen will become a mortician. Irene Reeves and Merill Chambers will become internationally known philosophers. Uranus was in the sign of Cancer. This indicates that there are some members who have whimsical and fanciful personalities They make fine orators and welfare workers. With their magnetic voices Pearl Sandifer and William Copeland will become outstanding orators. Helen Brice and Kay Callaway desire to be counselors for marriage problems. Betty Lee and Melvin Elliott will work hard in the educational field. Neptune was in the sign of Pisces which proves that we have some talented poets. James Morris and Helen Shaw will write poems of humor and emotional types of fiction. Providing us with enjoyment will be the outstanding entertainers Thomas Sandifer and Smith Fletcher. The ministerial profession being a natural outlet for the spiritual nature, allows Thomas Minnis to make a fine minister. Mercury, being in the sign of Gemini, means that there are some of us who have variable dispositions. They are intellectual, analytical, very skillful and have a profes- sional touch. Theodore Phelps and Christian Davenport should use their creative ability to become architects. Since William Cunningham and Wilbert Lewis have a professional touch, they will be excellent surgeons. Jesse Lewis and Richard Lee have analytical minds which will make them qualified to be chemical engineers. Anne Abbott and Joseph Reid will use their skill to become dentists. The planet Jupiter called “The Greater Fortune” was in the sign Sagittorius which indicates that among us are persons who are broad-minded, tolerant and truthful, people of very high intel Lewis Af fe able: to undertake the role of a history teacher.

William Saddler will be ‘ Fors with The Harlem Globe Trotters. Alice Morris will use her scientific knowledge to become a laboratory technician. These people are exceedingly versatile and can learn to do any work well. Our members of the sign of Leo are to be the most successful in whatever profession chosen and they can fulfill executive positions. They seek highest honors, best jobs, and are known to win out in difficult battles of life. Frances Scruggs and Emma Ross will make fine nurses. William Womack will become a good senator. Mary Reid will be the tennis queen of the United States. James Greene will be a renowned biologist. I trust that these prophecies will assist you all in facing the future fearlessly and that you will receive them in the same spirit in which they are presented. I hope they will remain as the bond of union between you and me throughout the years. The one question in our minds is sure to be, “shall we be prepared for these honors or duties?” But don’t forget to thank our lucky stars for whatever success we achieve.

JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Junior Class Officers and Committee Chairmen are making plans and discussing ways and means of stretching their budget so as to make the Junior- Senior Prom the most out-standing. This versatile group of Juniors began on its road of progress four years ago and since that time has accomplished many achievements. The Juniors' aims have been high but they have reached them. In this group you willfind some honest, intelligent, industrial and talented citizens. The highlight of the year is the Junior- Senior prom at which time the seniors are entertained.
