I wish to extend sincere congratulations to the members and officers of the class, for having completed one of the many tasks assign- ed to them, and it is hoped that they will tackle the tasks outside, and away from Frank- lin County Training School, with the same vigor, cooperation, and careful planning as they have shown under the guidance of their sponsor. Subsequent classes will need quite a bit of work to compete with the record made by the Class of 1951, and most of the preceding classes. This is true when one realizes that each class seems to try to excel its predecessors. RA - MISS L. S. BRADSHAW Mathematics and Science MRS. C. E. CONWAY French and English MR. J. O.

The first class meeting saw the following officers elected: President, James Mc Dowell; Vice President, Thomas Brown; Secretary, Betty Hawkins; Treasurer, Henry Hawkins. How green we were during our first year. Since we were expected to be dumb, we were not worried over the fact, but instead we put our confidence in our president who with our sponsor, Miss L. S. Bradshaw, helped us to rise from the class of the ignorant, the green and the insignificant. Before the close of the first semester we were participating in all extra-curricular activities. John E. Richardson, Norman Leonard, Glenwood Williamson, James Mc- Dowell, Bonnie Perry, Harry Hill and Henry Hawkins represented the class in football, Celestine McDowell won second place as a contestant for Miss F.C.T.S-.” Betty Hawkins, Bonnie Perry, James McDowell, George A. Cooley and Harry Hill represent- ed in basketball. Celestine McDowell, Annie Manley, Mamie Dunston, Ruth Wil- liamson and Betty Hawkins were members of the cheering squad. We were also well represented in the Choral Club by Esther Saunders, Annie Manley, Mamie Dunston, Dorothy Macon, Nina M. Alston, Mollie Grissom and Betty Hawkins. Mattie Harris, Inez Wilkins, Mamie Dunston, Esther Saunders and Annie Manley were in the Science Club. Mildred Green, Betty Hawkins, Ruth Williamson, Celestine McDowell, Esther Saunders and Annie Manley were members of the Teen-Age Club. Betty Hawkins, Velma Lewis, Inez Wilkins, Wilson Davis, Thomas Brown, Mamie Dunston and Annie Manley were members of the Dramatic Club. We were well represented in the N.F. A. by Mamie Dunston, Annie Manley, Wilson Davis, Thomas Brown, Elisha Webb, Alphonza Harris, Elvery Lemay, Ollie Milan, Fred Foster, Henry Foster, Forrest Anderson, John Richardson, George A. Colley and Harry Hill. In the fall of 48, our class had decreased to 74. We elected George Cooley as President; Mamie Dunston, Secretary; Shelly Massenburg, Treasurer. These officers and Miss L. S. Bradshaw our sponsor helped us through a successful year. The mem- bers who helped to make our football season successful were -George Cooley (who was accidently drowned during the summer of '48), Norman Leonard, Herman Davis, Harry Hill, Wilson Davis, Arthur Brodie and James McDowell. Betty Hawkins was crowned Miss F.C.T.S.” during one of our big Homecoming games. Esther Saun- ders, Ruth Williamson, Betty Hawkins, Nina Alston, Celestine McDowell, Clarence . George Cooley and Harry Hill represented the class in basketball. ; Williamson, a forward, was selected to the All-Tournament Team. rT Altha Johnson, Mary Johnson, Carrie “He can who thinketh that he can,” was adopted as our guiding principle, there fore, we plunged into our Junior year in the fall of 49, full of confidence in our ability to uphold the dignity of our position, and reach our cherished goal-Seniority. We entrusted the office of presidency to Alphonza Harris, Inez Wilkins, Yice President: Esther Saunders, Secretary; Henry Foster, Treasurer. We were fortunate in having Miss L. S. Bradshaw as sponsor and Mr. N. H. Harris, Jr., as co-sponsor. Their en- during patience caused us to maintain our confidence. As we entered our year's work we found ourselves faced with problems. We had to maintain our scholastic standing; remain outstanding in all activities in which we had formerly participated, and raising money for our prom. It was with pleasure that we watched Inez Wilkins, Emily Dunston, Ruth William- son, Alphonza Harris, Esther Saunders, Betty Hawkins and Annie Manley become mem- bers of the Crown and Scepter Club. We had to represent us in basketball: Celestine McDowell, Betty Hawkins, Ruth Williamson, Thomas Brown, Wilson Davis, Henry Fister, Dorothy Macon and Harry Hill. It was quite a pleasure to see Betty Hawkins, Inez Wilkins, Mamie Dunston, Annie Manley, Wilson Davis and Thomas Brown became members of the Dramatic Club. Mary Johnsou, Carrie Blacknall, Mamie Gill, Irene Green, Alice Brodie, Cath- erine Leonard, Mary A. Brodie, Mamie Sunston, Esther Saunders, Annie Manley, Inez Wilkins, Betty Hawkins, Wilson Davis, Harry Hill, Forrest Anderson and Thomas Brown became members of the Choral Club. The members of the Advisory Committee were: Inez Wilkins, Esther Saunders, Mamie Dunston, Alphonza Harris, Ruth William- son and Henry Foster. The Junior-Senior Prom was given in the gymnasium on May 12, 1950. The theme was Moonlight and Roses. It was the most spectacular and memorable event that has been witnessed at F.C.T.S. This brought to a close the activities of our Junior year and so we passed into more pleasant dreams. r having passed triumphantly through the trials of former ye There are several members of our class who have achieved in particular fields. In athletics we have Betty Hawkins, Celestine McDowell, Ruth Williamson, Alice Milon, Wilson Davis, Henry Foster, Thomas Brown and Harry Hill became members of the basketball teams, Bennie Foster, Jimmie Rodwell, Elisha Webb, Wilson Davis, Henry Foster, Jimmie Rodwell, Elisha Webb, Wilson Davis, Henry Foster, and Harry Hill represented in football.

In looking over past records of our class, we found some of our members have very high scholastic records. Inez Wilkins, Emily Dunston, Annie Manley, Betty Hawkins, Esther Saunders and Alphon za Harris became members of the Crown and Scepter Club. Annie Manley won the honor of being Miss Debutante” at the Debutante’s Ball held in the Memorial Auditorium, Raleigh, North Carolina, on November 24, 1950. After having worked hard through four years, we were guests of the Juniors at a very elaborate Junior-Senior Prom in the Gymnasium. Now that these things are about over, we are faced with graduation - the end - or is it really the end? No, it is not. We are looking forward to a much brighter age, the age of success and happiness. Annie Manley CLASS PROPHECY We were born 1947, yet I bring you doings, not of the Legislature, but the 1951 graduating class asI see them in 1961. How canI see them hence? The atom bomb went off in Louisburg, North Carolina and time went with it for ten years. What do we have? We have: Yours truly Mamie Dunston, Dorothy Wiggins and Esther Saunders living a rich and full life of service doing research in, The Relationship of Environment and Hereditary Condition Among the Homo sapiens. Our work has been fostered by the Reverend Jim- my Rodwell, LLD, Ph. D, whose philosophy is “Somebody had to do the job” - to bring men and women closer to the earth. He has certainly enjoyed much success. It was our good fortune to be sent to Red Oak, North Carolina in line of duty. To our surprise we found two former classmates, Rosa Harris and Josie Tucker in cosmetol- ogy- They informed me that the University of North Carolina had conferred the degree upon them in 1958. There was to be a conference held in the Franklin County Training School in Louis- burg of outstanding Specialists in the field of Entomology. We were full of enthusiasm when we noted on the program the appearance of Mr. Alphonza Harris and his wife the former Catherine Leonard. It seems that they had a collection of insects common to Franklin County. The significant aspect of this collection was the fact that no boll weevils were included, that insect had become extinct in the county due to the vigilant work of Harry Hill as County Farm Agent and Home Demonstration Agent, the former Alice Brodie. It was explained by Mr. and Mrs. Harris just how the agents had used an insecticide discovered by Betty Hawkins, the Chemistry Instructor, at St. Augustine College in Raleigh, North Carolina. This insecticide had gained much popularity throughout the Counties of Franklin, Wake, Nash and Warren. We, Mamie Dunston, Dorothy Wiggins and Esther Saunders were taking a moment to rest after attending the great conference in Louisburg and it was Esther who suggested that we have a °51 Class Rol Call and really find out just how much fame and service realized by its members. She had a record of members in which she began to read off names. We being very busy with our research in “The Relationship of Environmental | and Hereditary Conditions Among the Homo sapiens, were not able to contact each member but we wrote ten letters and sent them to ten members of our class. In these letters we asked them if they would send us any information concerning the named mem- 4 The ten people sent us a full report of the doings of classmates on thei decantation paones 5 valuable to us in that we were able to enrichen our Mildred Greene informed us in her husband, had met with success and ass influence latent, that is not recognized, from 1947 - 1951 now really is f “Thanks, they say,” to Mr. Harris, Miss Bradshaw, and other faculty members, the PTA, Classmates and fellow schoolmates of tha She also reported that she was able to contact the doings of Mattie Harris and Mary Johnson who were each enjoying success in their “sortaad of Better Marital Relations, in the schools of Franklin County. Thomas Brown, Mildred's husband, was engaged in reading two outstanding novels of 1961 and the authors were none other than Ruth Williamson and Mamie Gill A satisfactory Teport was also sent in by Irene Greene. She was able to locate Bennie Foster, Velma Lewis, Elvery Lemay and Sarah Harris. You see they were all members of Carrie Blacknall's Orchestra. : They were also the only Negroes in her orchestra the others were Kiskans from the Island of Kiska. Wilson Davis informed us that he was recuperating from a brain operation, perform - ed by the noted brain surgeon Emily Dunston, whose “note” he was in doubt as she had placed the Cerebrum into the Medulla Ob longata and left him little better off than the days of 47-51. Inez Wilkins had just returned from Korea where she was acting coordinator of Kor- ean affairs. She was able to Sive us the data on Annie Manley, who was co-pilot of the plane returning Inez. The plane crew included Jeanette Williams the air steward- ess, and Fred Foster, the chef. Inez told us that Elisha Webb had recently been elect- ed Vice President of the Louisburg Air Line. He had with him on the trip the Company's Secretary, Louise Davis. There was romance in the air on that trip. It seems that Elisha and Louise had agreed that it was time to let the world know of their love for each other by announcing their marriage, which had taken place in June 1951. “Folks, it won't nothing but the truth, we mean their, Love. The News and Disturber, a Louisburg daily paper, sent two reporters, Athlee Johnson and Eursula Moore, and a photographer, Ollie Milon to interview us. We were happy ‘to see our picture on the front page and to learn that our classmates had met with 100% success after ten years of graduation. Written by: Mamie Dunston Dorothy W Esther S; .
