MASCOT LA VERNE RUBY KELLY CLASS HISTORY We, the seniors of 1956, have inclined our minds to wisdom and applied our hearts to understanding as we climbed to steps toward graduation. A stairway of unknown height faced us as Freshmen--but, with courage united with the desire to learn and by curiosity, we began. Up, up, we went, passing the steps of English, French, Mathematics, Social Science, Music, Industrial Art, Understanding, Courtesy, Discipline, Social Development, Intellectual Develop- ment-and now we pause to rest; this pause is for a brief spell. It is with great interest that we relate our history to this moment for our history has been so dynamic and inspirational. In the fall of 1952 a bustling, noisy, group of students from Dunbar and Granite Quarry Elementary Schools were united to form the Freshmen classes of Dunbar High School. Our ad¬ visors were Mrs. Winifred Poe and Mr. Harry Koontz. We by no means lacked inspiration for all of us were determined to adapt ourselves to the ways and conditions of Dunbar. When bas¬ ketball season began the frosh were not excluded. Ruby Lanear, Theodore Draine Jr., and John Kerr, and others began practice and several made the team. In fact, we were enthusi¬ astically a part of all the Dunbar activities. However, we did not lose sight of our objectives for many of us made the Honor Roll. August 1953, as Sophomores we were more accustomed to high school life and became a vital part of the School and its activities. Through inspired hopes, and instructions of Mrs. Naomi Mitchell and Mr. Harry Koontz we placed students in many leading activities in the school. Some young ladies were chosen as contestants in the various contests such as Miss Dunbar. Again we were represented in the other activities although we still held firmly to our objective, scholastic attainment. It was this year that we realized that we had leadership ability also. Our Junior Class was great! None could be prouder than we when the fall of 54 arrived. We were united as one class under Mrs. L. Vails. Our aim as Juniors was to maintain our high scholastic average, as a whole, and to develop more in leadership. Still climbing up the ladder, we felt more secure as we were no longer afraid of the top. Our class had the largest number on the Honor Roll; Annie Mae Smith won 2nd. place in the Miss N.H.A. contest and Ethel Davis placed 2nd. in the Miss Dunbar c onte st. Some seniors along with other members of the Dra¬ matic Club, presented The Lord's Prayer and won second place in the Livingstone College High School Dramatic Festival. Our Junior play AFeudinOver Yonder with Annie Mae Smith as the star was a rippin success. We busily prepared for the biggest social event of the year, the Junior -Senior Prom. Our dreams were realized when we danced with our chosen guests to the rhythm of Carver High School's Band, in the setting of An Oriental Garden. Class night exe rcise was another big event, for it symbolized our next year 's role when the Senior willed us their robes. Realizing that our footprints would soon be on the sands of time and that we had almost completed the last round toward successful, hard earned, graduation- -we began to take our last steps as Seniors under the guidance of Mrs. Julia B. Kelly. Yes--now we're pausing to look back, only to remind ourselves how to look forward with new light and appreciation. We had representatives in every club in the school such as the N.H.A. , N.F.A., 4-H, Drama Club, French Club, Dance Group, Basketball Teams, Commercial Club, and the Choral Group. In December we had the excitement of receiving our class rings, and we selected our Bar Staff and began work on our annual. With first semester exams over, we began getting ready for the senior play and all the other activities leading up to that long awaited day, GRADUATION. At last we have but one more step to climb. We will p r ove to our principal and advisors that their interest was not in vain. As we depart we say THANK YOU. Class Historians Mabel Ellen Poe Martha Williams SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS BETTYE McKEE Vice -President ANNIE MILLER Secretary CLASS POEM -1- Graduation-we 've eagerly awaited for many years, But, as time draws near, our eyes are filled with tears. We have made Dunbar a symbol of Loyal devotion and undying love. -2- Our teachers have implanted in our minds. All the knowledge and wisdom we possess. We've prepared for services of all kinds. And we'll take the road that leads us to success. -3- We wish to thank all who have halped us. And encouraged us thus far on the way; Our parents, our teachers, and our loved ones Will be proud of us, we hope, someday. Barbara L. Roseboro MOTTO WE CANNOT LIVE ON PAST GLORY; WE MUST STRIVE TO IMPROVE AND GO ONWARD. CLASS FLOWER Red Carnation CLASS COLORS Red and Blue CLASS SONG Tune (Unchained Melody) -1- Oh Dunbar, we're leaving; We've tried to do our best, along the way; We've loved you, so dearly, We hate to leave behind, our friends, good-by; We hate to go, we'll miss you so. But time has come to go. Chorus : Lonely years went by as we strove for this day. We have reached the end of our goal; Our teachers dear who have helped on the way. Pointed us to the road of success. -2- Oh Dunbar we'll miss you The tasks we leave behind, we hope you'll find Eager hands to accept them. It's time for us to say good-by, so long; You too will learn; we will return; God be with you, we pray.

Witnesses : Ruby Lanear Charles Lilly Class Lawyer: Barbara Roseboro CLASS PROPHECY In this machine, industrial, and atomic age, time seems to have wings, and thus our four years have flitted by. Everyone seems to enjoy looking into the future, 1961 ! My, how time and people have changed! I learned that Anita Archie and Mae Carol Davis are working in one of the largest Hospitals in North Carolina, Duke, as Laboratory Tech¬ nicians; Anita's sister Juanita Archie, is a typist for Doctor Theodore Draine in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Madie Barbour is working at Fisk Hospital in California as a nurse. As I came back from my trip to California, I dropped in on Paul Black who is a mechanic for Ford Motor Company in Denver, Colorado. He informed me that Betty Brown, Ruby Lanear, and Rosa Gray are taking nursing at the St. Paul's Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut under the instructor of Surgery, Barbara Rose- boro. James Davis and his pals, Alonzo Williams, and James Boyd, finally got a job at Duke Power Company in Washington, D.C. as Electri¬ cal Engineers. Just think, in Newark, New Jersey, Betty McCall, Eliza¬ beth Heiligh, Mammie Byers, and Helen Garrison are operating Beauty Salons over on 125th Street. Virginia Corpening and Laura Pharr are teaching at Marvin High in Lexington, Massachusetts. Would you believe it, Walter Morrow and Ernest Tillman are flying jets for the U.S. Air Force. I dropped to Dunbar and there I found, Annie Smith, Secretary for the school. Daisy Barbour and Annie Miller are working at Southern Bell Telephone Company as typists. Martha Stoner is a Private Secre¬ tary for North Carolina State College, and Gladys Shands is the school nurse. Believe it or not, in Wilmington, North Carolina, Betty McKee is a nurse at the Naval Hospital. Who would have thought it, Louise Wilson is working for Kelsey's Funeral Home in Salisbury, North Caro¬ lina, as a mortician. In Richmond, Virginia, John Davis is a Brick Mason for Wagner Construction Company. Melton Shuford is working as a Diesel Mechanic for Southern Railroad in Maryland. His friend, Otha Eddleman landed a job at Howard Electric Company as an Electrical Engineer. In New York I went to the Apollo Theater and to my surprise I found Ethel Kennedy singing the St. Louis Blues. In New Haven, Yvonne Hawkins is a Business Instructor at Yale University, and across town Sara Douglass is teaching English at Harvard. Charles Lilly is playing with the famous Harlem Globe-Trotters. John Kerr and Robert McCullough are playing in the World Series with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Gloria O'Kelly is an Elementary Teacher at Lincoln Heights in Great Falls, Illinois. I looked into Santa Anna Hospital in Kentucky; there, I saw Mabel Poe as a dietician and Clayton Sturdivant as a Medical Doctor. I saw William Holmes who is in a big business firm in Houston, Texas, and Martha Williams is his Secretary. In Paris I dropped in on Mary Ingram designing our latest fashions ! Oh 1 By the way, fellow class¬ mates, how about dropping around to San Diego, California by Pan American Air Lines, where yours truly works as a stewardess? May I congratulate the class of 1956! Sail on, and on!
