CLASS HISTORY Dreams do come true 1 Many years ago (four to be exact) there came to Carver High School a new group of freshmen. For a time confusion, chaos and catastrophe reigned supreme as students dashed madly about trying to get acclimated to their new surroundings. We returned as sophomores in September, however, the year was uneventful for us as we had even lost the doubtful blessing of the notoriety that we enjoyed as froshes. In 1951) many determined juniors returned to carry on the responsibilities of the second highest order in the school. Many of us began Id take a more active part in extra curricular activities, although we had veen represented in all activities previously. In the choir we had Audrey Dennis, Ruth Banks, Delois Hackley, Barbara Wise, Joseph Carter, Astorie Turner, Cormora Rector, c laria Thompson, William Hume. In the varsity club we were represented by Eleanor Jameson, Lois Fleshmon, Peggie Washington, Martha Carter, Daisy Carpenter, John Weston, Robert Porter, James Yates, Charles Monroe, Wilbur Edwards, liafayette Burros, James Slaughter, Earl Scott, Jack Johnson and David Reid. It was during our junior year that Carver had its first football team. Aaron Fletcher, Robert Beckwith, William Hume, John Carpenter, Temple Ficklin, and Astorie Turner proved a great asset to the band. Agnes Winkie, Audrey Dennis and Lois Fleshmon did a wonderful job as majorettes. During our junior year, a standard class-ring was chosen by the student body. Our class is the first to have the privilege of wearing Carver ' s first standard ring. Then came the long awaited Junior-Senior prom which was held to the pleasure of all who partook of its merriment. Again in September eighty-three seniors returned to enjoy the fruits of complete superiority. The main socail functions included the senior play- Our Town and the prom. We now end an era at Carver which instilled within us principles and attitudes of thought and conduct which will motivate us and steer our energies into an increased responsi- bility to affect service to society. Our stay at Carver has been enriched with experience. We shall esteem and cheerish these experiences and cling to them as precious moments.

CLASS PROPHECY Oh mysterious powers from ancestors old, uncloud my the future to 1963 the cl ss of ' 53 ■» fortunes and fates. The future is coming nearer, but fast and now I can 1 see Lillian quered . Daniel co-starring in one of Froducer eyes and visions unfold to see in see things clearly at last. Joe Carter ' s famous rlays, Con- Lois Fleshmon is teaching Chemistry at Virginia State College. Hilda Jackson is now an NBC starring on radio and T.V. as My Friend Irma. Can you imagine Martha Carter and John Weston running a night club known as Tin Cup Alley in Culpeper, Virginia? Their playing customers are Ellen and Bill Forter. Everybody is talking about It! Ruth Robinson and Camilla Hoffman are two old maids living in a brick cottage in Green Forest, Virginia. Kelsie Faige has a dress shop in Richmond-her latest styles are slenderizing skirts ar.d dresses. While vacationing in California this summer I found that Astorie Turner and Charles Monroe were living in Hollywood, happily married. Charles was busy teaching the three young sters to be serious like their Dad. Who would have guessed it? Audrey Dennis has now invaded the wild and wooly west and is head nurse at the Mayo Cli’ ic in Minnesota. Ruth Banks is secretary to Aaron Fletcher who is principal of the largest high school in Flum Nearly. James Yates is coach. The team has played sixteen games this season and lost fifteen. Could it because the strapping robust boys of Robert Porter, Wilbur Edwards, Lafayette Burros and Jack Johnson are on the team? Lorraine Galloway has finally hooked Jack Johnson. They have one girl and two boys. Barbara Ward and David Reid are the leading dancers in the Silas Green Show. Roy Jackson now runs the largest nursery in Gordonsvill e , most of the children belong to him and his wife, Lena. However, the four kids of Marvaret Ferris and Douglas Rawls, attend . The married couples include Beatrice Kill and Temple Ficklin now living in Nevada, Isa- belle Jones and John Francis, living in Texas. John is making use of his Agricultural training that he received at Carver and has a large cattle ranch. Their recent guests were Edith Grasty, Mary Turner and Armentra Dennis. Feggie ' Washington, who always had a knack for drawing has achieved great lights . She has succeeded E. Sims Campbell. Delores Hackley has her P.H.D. from U.C.L.A. She was quite lucky in getting a position abroad . Mary Ellis and the Carpenter sisters are still the best of friends; they are in Orange because they love home sweet Home. Mildred Dangerfield has established the Dangerfield Chewing Gum factory, but for some strange reason does not seem to make much profit. Claria Thompson now teaches English at Shantytown High School. She is having difficul- ty in teaching the students to use Ain ' t correctly. Joyce Tolbert and Fannie Johnson are teaching in the same school. Imagine Joyce teaching the students how to control their speed when talking and Fannie instructing them in the correct pronunciation and enunciation of words. '
