The class of 1957 entered the doors of Hookerton High School the year of 1946, a tribe of wild little cowboys and Indians who never seemed to be at peace. After eight years of learning various elementary subjects, we received our diplomas to enter high school the following year. We entered high school in the year 1953, twenty -seven strong with enthusiasm, feeling the world was our oyster. Our teachers for the forthcoming years were Mrs. Leroy Whitfield, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, Mr. George Roberts, and Mr. Rockfellow Venters. Incidentally, they had heard all about us through the grapevine and were fully prepared to make the best of everything out of us. We entered into politics that year and elected some dependable officers: Ed Albritton, presi- dent; Melvin Sugg, vice president; Janet Gray, secretary; and Ellen Eason, treasurer. For our Sophomore year we elected Melvin Sugg, president; Ann Hardy, vice president; Marjorie Sugg, secretary; and Ellen Eason, treasurer. Nothing too exciting happened as every- thing went along very smoothly. Returning the following year as Juniors, we were raring to go, for this was to be a very ex- citing and adventurous year for all of us. Class officers were Ed Albritton, president; Ann Hardy, vice president; Marjorie Sugg, secre- tary; and Ellen Eason, treasurer. We selected our class motto, Not finished, just begun, class colors: blue and white, and our class flower, the American Beauty Rose. Next, we had to cuss and discuss before we finally decided on the blue spinel stone for our class rings. Everyone seemed pleased with that type of stone selection. We found out that we had real talent in the Junior Play, The Groom Said No, a three-act comedy, directed by Mrs. Smith. March finally came and a group of excited Juniors and Seniors boarded a Carolina Trailways bus for Washington, D. C. and New York City, it could never be said that those city slickers got the best of us. We saw some beautiful and interesting sights; we will especially remember climbing the Washington Monument and the ferry ride in a sleet storm to The Statue of Liberty, not to mention the wonderful time we had during our spare time. It was truly a great trip that we will long remember. The climax of our Junior year was the giving of the Junior -Senior Banquet on April 13. Our theme was The Circus and what a circus! Just like Barnum and Bailey, except for the lack of the smell of sawdust. On September 4, 1956, eighteen seniors entered the doors of Hookerton High School for our final year. Election of officers was first on schedule and since this was to be a great election year, we followed suit, president, Lehman Radford; vice president, Melvin Sugg; secretary, Ann Hardy; and treasurer, Ed Albritton. We were sorry to have lost Janet Gray, a true classmate, but Campbell College was the only answer to her problems. Also we hated to lose our principal and our agriculture teacher from high school, who both went to Jacksonville. We feel very fortunate to have Mr. Harrell Copeland, who replaced Mr. Venters, and Mr. Earl Gray who replaced Mr. Roberts. We wish for all of them, the very best. The production of the Junior -Senior Play thrilled the audience with its hilarious comedy. Directed by Mrs. Elizabeth Smith and Mrs. Leroy Whitfield, we believe it was one of our best. All the gaiety of the Junior -Senior Banquet and its rich pastel colors shall remain with us for years to come. It was truly a grand banquet and we wish to thank the Juniors for such a won- derful evening of enjoyment. As the time for graduation is rapidly approaching, we begin to realize the many sacrifices our parents have made in helping us complete twelve grades of school. We wish to thank all our teachers who have spent many valuable hours in training and preparing us for our future years. As for our friends, we will always remember their true brotherhood. All of you, parents, teachers and friends, have given us that sturdy, reassuring push that will help us succeed in our chosen fields. Class Historian, Sidney Albritton A z4t T iCC cutct 7e4fcu te tt In this year, nineteen hundred and fifty-seven, we, the Senior Class of Hookerton High School, city of Hookerton, county of Greene and state of North Carolina, being of reasonably sound mind, strong bodies, and guilty consciences, do hereby make and declare this our last will and testament. ARTICLE I To the school, with the help of the class of ' ' 56 , we leave the stage scenery, in hopes that the classes of future years will enjoy using it as much as we did. ARTICLE H To our principal, Mr. Copeland, we just leave our regrets. To the faculty, we bequeath a liberal yearly stack of papers to grade, notebooks and themes to correct, and averages to make. ARTICLE HI To the Juniors, we leave the title of Seniors, may they fill the shoes with dignity. To the Juniors, we also bequeath the humble respect shown to all seniors and the fun, and head-aches of publishing the Ho -Hi -Echoes. To the Sophomores, we leave the new typing tables in hopes that they will aid them in Typing I next year. To the Freshmen, we leave the remodeled library, and hope they get new library books to go with it.
