As graduates of The Franklin County Training School, it is my sincere wish that you will be found in the forefront of all worthwhile efforts planned to improve the welfare of all people everywhere, and that you will pledge yourselves to maintain exacting high standards where ever you may be. Most of all, I sincerely hope you will continue your education in order that you may continue to grow in wisdom, in understanding and in usefulness. With every good wish, Iam Sincerely yours My a Z C.A. Harris, Principal We are approaching the end of the best year we have had in the history of Franklin County Training School. Yet it is just the beginning of an era for this school and the community it serves. With the support of the patrons and students and the development of a school spirit that will be intensely proud of our physical plant, the school program, and the student body, this school willdevelop into an outstanding organization rendering untold value to the people it serves. Congratulations to the senior class, Annual Staff and its directors on the splendid service rendered in editing this book. Sincerely, T.E.C. MR. THOMAS E, CONWAY Assistant Principal Science and Mathematics Coach The real use of knowledge is this: that we should dedicate that reason which was given to us by God for the use and advantage of Man. — Bacon I offer you this quotation from Bacon. Read it, digest it, and use it well. L. S.B. MISS LUCY S. BRADSHAW : Dean of Girls Mathematics The following quotation is taken from the News and Observer, Nov- ember 8, 1959: “Jt is not the headlines that sell a newspaper nor the addine machines in its business office that keep it alive. It is integrity, reliability, a dedi- cation to its purpose and an interest in its readers, and it is something | called heart. To the young men of F.C. T.S., I would say, read again what is nec- : essary for a successful newspaper and you may rest assured that if you have : the same qualifications, you will not hesitate to put your foot outeven | though you may not know where it may come down. ‘ O.PuR : MR. OLIVER T. ROBINSON Dean of Boys Mathematics, Science Social Studies Seniors, you have reached the first great milestone in your lives, may it serve as a beacon to spur you on to attain many more. In years to come, as I browse through this memorial, the FRACOTRASCHO, I want to feel that both your and my life have been made richer by the contacts we made during your stay in high school here. M.

T.S., saloss wean ae O'er the years you're opened our eyes and we'll ne'er for ; er th Ha aoe Class History Ris hard to believe that four years ago this class of 1960 was just a group of freshmen. Green, young freshmen indeed—possessing nothing but some native ability, a few brains, much conceit, and full of giggles. How- ever, when given our first examination our teachers realized that we were gradually making Progress. Nevertheless, as one views this class of 1960 he readily sees a group of noble, sensible, attentive Seniors, ready to face whatever problems that confront us. The first big problems we attacked after entering high school were get- ting ourselves adjusted to the new rooms, and getting acquainted with new Classmates coming from different Surroundings. The changing of classes was quite confusing but after a few weeks we were straightened out, and ready to settle down for four long years. Since we were expected to be dumb, we Before the end of the first semester, there were many changes in our mumber. Some fell by the wayside, 2 few transferred to other schools, and one newcomer joined our class— Chester Pace. This made ourenroliment 74. As full pledged members of high school, we really made our presence felt by joining and participating in every activity sponsored in the school. Mary C. Jones and Willie Bell Morgan ran for Miss F.C.T.S. We were credited with sponsoring the first Bam Fire and Dance in oureffortto raise fumds for homecoming. Since we were new to each other, the election of class officers did not affect our voting. Annie P. Stallings was elected president; Dorothy Marie Jacobs, Vice President; Gracy Ann Fogg, Secretary; and Willie Bell Moman Treasurer. Our Student Counci] members were: Mary L. Williams, Janice Yarborough, James W. Davis, and Joseph Joyner. We were well represented in all phases of sports. Basketball: Barbara A. Strickland, Janet Kelley, LaVerne Robinson, Olivia Alston and Dorothy M. Jacobs on the girls’ team. Harold Stallings on the boys' team. Football: Leroy Smith, James McArthur Alston, McArthur Williamson, Thurmond White, Bobby Branch, Cary Green, Earl Wilkins, and Arthur McCowan. Baseball: John C. Hayes, Bobby Branch, and James McArthur Alston. As our first year came to a close, we saw the wisdom in the Saying, “Where ignorance is bliss, ‘tis folly to be wise. SOPHOMORES We returned in August as sophomores, wiser from the experience ; 7 us our Freshman year. Although a few failed to return, the ma: to take their places in the classes and corridors of dear old F.C. 7. sponsors were the same-—Miss Turner and Mrs. Fitz. To show that we meant business from the start, we sent out p to the following activities: 4 H Club—LaVerne Robinson, our se. the newly elected 4-H State Treasurer, Barbara A. Strickland aj Chavis who won top honors in the Bread Making Demonstration. They received a twenty-five dollar war bond for this achievement. In Harold Stalling, Dewitt Perry, Janet Kelley, Olivia Alston, Barbara , Strickland, and Dorothy Jacobs represented us on the girls’ basketball On the football team were McArthur Williamson, Arthur Walters, Bobby Branch and Leroy Smith. Our representatives for the § Council were Mary L. Williams, Janice Yarborough, James Davis and Joyner. Other organizations that we joined were the Choral Club, Cc} Squad, Varsity Club and the band. : Janet Louise Kelley reigned as Miss F.C. T. S. for the school y 1958-59. Our class officers were—' A Division: Joseph Joyner, President; W. Davis, Vice President; Irma Lee Chavis, Secretary; and Janet L. Kell 2 Treasurer. B Division: LaVerne Robinson, President; Robert Mitchell, V President; Evelyn Lemay, Secretary; and Vardine Wortham, Treasurer. Under the supervision of Miss Turner, we sponsored a Thanksgiving play “The First Thanksgiving. Mrs. Fitz sponsored the Christmas play, Night Before Christmas. ' Our sophomore year, filled with endless activities and en; nally came to an end. Once again we bade farewell to old F.C. T.S. eagerly anticipated the coming of our Junior year and the Prom, JUNIORS Due to an old educational custom, Sophomores usually become unio and our promotion made our sense of importance increase out of all Suddenly we found that another change had taken place in our important lives. We had lost one of our beloved sponsors— Mrs. G.H. Fitz. We missed her very much, but we did not have time to mourm our loss. We gained an- other, Mrs. 1. W. Foster. This was a year of hard work. To maintain our positions, we had to study; but inaddition, we had to raise funds for our Prom. We organized with the following officers— A Division: Otis Dunston, President; James W. Davis, Vice President; Dorothy Jacobs, Secretary; Irma Lee Chavis, Assistant Secretary; and Mary C. Jones, Treasurer. B Divi- sion: Leroy Smith, President; Arthur McCowan, Vice President; LaVerne Robinson, Secretary; and Barbara Ann Strickland, Treasurer. Members of the Student Council were: Barbara Ann Strickland, Janet L. Kelley, James W. Davis and James Oris Wilson. The extra-curricular activities still held the same fascination for most of the former members. One of our biggest thrills was having one of our charming young ladies, LaVerne Robinson, chosen Miss F.C. T.S. for 1958-59. We were indeed a proud and happy class as we looked forward to enter- taining the Seniors at the Prom. Naturally we felt that this wasto be the best one yet, Ourtheme was Fairyland Romance and with our honored guest, we danced tothe wonderful music of the Hill Toppers from Chapel Hill, N.C. This was the night of all nights—never to be forgotten. SENIORS Finally we've made the grade and find ourselves in the senior class, taking ourselves more seriously than ever before. This is the goal that we have been trying to reach for twelve long years. At first, we were saddened by the loss of both of our former sponsors and we missed them very much, but we found in Mrs. V.H. Levister and Ms. C.H. Hawkins the guidance, sincerity and friendship that we sorely needed to lessen the blow. Our class officers to guide us on our last journey are: Otis Dunston, Pres- ident; Chester Pace, Vice President; Evelyn Lemay, Secretary; Janet Kelley, Assistant Secretary; James Otis Wilson, Treasurer. As Seniors we had the privilege of going to Jamestown, Va. to see the first permanent settlement in the new world. We had a swell time on this trip. Everyone that went enjoyed themselves very much. Class History On October 23rd, we took a trip to Greensboro, N.C. to atten Senior Day at the Agriculture and Technical College. While there, we viewed the many buildings with exhibits in eachand attended the football game, played between Winston-Salem Teachers College and A. T. Of course, A. T. won. In November, we were represented at the Shriner's Debutante Ball by Elizabeth A. Williams, Janet Kelley, Willie Bell Moman amt Vardine Wortham. Their escorts were McArthur Williamson, James W. Davis, James Otis Wilson and Earlie Brodie. The Ball was held on the 20th. For the last time, we participated in the following activities: Majorettes: Bertha Edgerton and Willie B. Morgan. Rand: Walter L Pettiford, Drum Major; LaVerne Robinson, Vardine Wortham, Cary Green, Football: Leroy Smith, Earl Wilkins, McArthur Williamson, Arthur McCowan, McArthur Alston, Bobby Branch and Cary Green.

Davis, LaVerne Robinson, Otis Dunston, Gracy A. Fogg, Janet Kelley. This last year of study has been rough and bumpy, but the view of the years ahead is glorious and majestic. Through intensive study we have learned many things: First, education is such a wonderful and continuous thing that you cannot get enough of it in twelve years. Second, that we know very little and we are just beginning to learn. Third, anything worth doing is worth doing well. Fourth, He who has wisdom has hope. For these and many other things, we are deeply grateful and indebted to you, dear old F.C. T. S.

Prophecy One cool, crisp, spring moming we found ourselves walking through the woods. Thoughts were racing through our tormented minds, for our class had chosen us as prophesiers, but we are not prophesiers, so how could we foretell the future? We sat down and leaned our heads againsta tree and started concentra ting on what the future held for our classmates. Suddenly we felt as if we were going on a long journey. We saw the years passing by— 1964—1966— 1968, and then our journey ended—we were living in the year of 1970. The scene about us was almost as familiar as it is today. We found our- selves in the corridor of dear old F.C. T.S.; at the moment a door opened and whom did we see, Dr. OTIS DUNSTON and JANET LYNCH, visiting school physician and nurse of Franklin County Training School. Too bad ARTHUR McCOWAN and DELLA O'NEAL got married and quit their jobs as census takers of New York City, but we did find out that the hilarious McARTHUR WILLIAMSON has his own panel, What's My Line, in New York over C.B.S. TV. Assisting him are CHESTER PACE, JOE WRIGHT and JAMES LEWIS. Just the other day HA ROLD STALLINGS was their guest. His line was designing women's bathing suits in his spare time ashe has become a professional basketball player. . We visited W.K.K.L and were just intime tosee James and the Hurri- canes consisting of: JAMES OTIS WILSON, EARLIE L. BRODIE, and WALTER PETTIFORD. Guess what they were picking off? Red River Rock. Their guest star was EVELYN LEMAY, popular vocalist who had just returned from Hollywood. They told us LaVERNE ROBINSON is now a great concert pianist in Atlantic City. Another Liberace huh? Did you know that WILLIE BELL MORGAN and JAMES OTIS WILSON are thinking about marriage? Itis regrettable that Uncle Sam sent for BOBBY BRANCH, EARL WILKINS, and JOEL ALSTON tocome and stay with him for a while. They are stationed in Russia where they are encouraging sports. GRACIE FOGG, and IRMA CHAVIS, are secretaries in California; they are working in the same office; they are very good in shorthand, ¢ ELIZABETH A. WILLIAMS is an artist for Ebony Magazines in Hawall- Later these artists accompanied her: JOSEPH JOYNER, ANNIE JOHNSON and CORNELIOUS HAYES. They are showing all the Ebony fans their talents. In December we visited DOROTHY JACOBS, GRACIE CLIFTON and JANET KELLY who are teaching dancing lessons in Canada; their specialty is Mashed Potatoes. They informed us that JOEL BOWDEN was teaching Physics at Columbia University. LEROY P. SMITH and CARY GREEN are sports leaders in Los Angeles, California. They are making their way to the top as coaches. DORA V. PERRY is head beautician of a New York School of Beauty in Long Island, N. ¥- Now hear this! MARY L. WILLIAMS and JANICE YARBOROUGH are working in Club 99 in Alabama. They are real gone. ANNIE TRADER has her own private school in Texas. Assisting her are OLIVIA ALSTON, BERTHA EDGERTON and two new girls from Texas. They are highly respected in that part of the country. JAMES DAVIS has a wonderful home in Hollywood. He has two kids, and owns two clubs. He is also a boxer and is married to one of Hollywood's famous stars. Now what do you suppose is next? We see, if our eyes don't fool us, WELDON EDGERTON has a tailor shop in Miami, Florida making women's clothes. His models are: BESSIE PERRY, ELIZABETH E. WILLIAMS and ELLA O'NEAL—working faithfully. BARBARA STRICKLAND and LENORA DUNSTON are Laboratory Tech nicians in Chicago, Ml. They are doing a fine job. Barbara is also mamied to a Doctor in Chicago.
