Hugh Morson High School - Oak Leaf Yearbook (Raleigh, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 210 of the 1955 volume:

And over the pond are sailing Two swans all white as snowy Sweet voices mysteriously wailing Pierce through me as onward they go. They sail along, and a ringing Sweet melody rises on highg And when the swans begin singing They presently must die. --HEINE: Evening Songs E C I U i i E i . I i I I 4 7 I . I 2 2 1 1 i II LS S I .

As this is Hugh Morson's last year as a senior high school, the staff of the OAK LEAF has chosen this theme for its book, hoping, that as it is the last edition of the series, it may be the best. With infinite care and devotion, the members of the staff have compiled the material and edited this volume as a loving tribute and memorial to Mr. Hugh Morson, for whom the school is named, and to his loyal associates, Mrs. J. M. Barbee, Miss Eliza Poole, Miss Laura Efird, Miss Laura Jones, Miss Ruth Creighton, and Mrs. Mary P. Brantley, who gave a life time of loyal, unfaltering service and love to the youth of Raleigh.

From 1905-1908, it, along with seven elementary grades, occupied the old Centennial School building. In the fall of 1908, the four upper grades moved to a new home on Morgan Street, just next to the Presbyterian Church. Instructions for these grades continued here until the fall of 1923 when the seventh and eighth grades of the Raleigh Public Schools moved into the building which now houses the State Board of Health. In the fall of 1925, Hugh Morson High School came into being. It was built on the three hundred block of East Hargett Street, and, since only half of it was completed at that time, it accommodated only theninth, tenth, and eleventh grades. The seventh and eighth grades returned to the old high school structure. Between the years 1925 and 1929, the new school was completed and was the home of grades seven through eleven. By this time, however, another school was needed, and, in the fall of that year, students from the western part of the city entered Needham B. Broughton High School. Eventually all seventh grades returned to the grammar schools, and a twelfth grade was added to both high schools. Now another era is ending. Next fall all tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students, including those from the Methodist Orphanage, will attend the Needham B. Broughton High School. Hugh Morson as a senior school will cease to exist but will become a junior high school. Seventh, eighth, and ninth graders from Broughton will move into the new Josephus Daniels Junior High School. And so time moves on and progress con- tinues. Raleigh hopes for and expects the best of its three high schools. alclminia tra iion MR. JESSE O.

In the early days, much stress was laid upon the study of the classics. Few of the so called frills of education existed. A crip course was a rarity. Subject matter was offered and drilled. The student was expected to work and learn because he was told to and because it Was good for him. Latin, French, and German were important subjects as were courses in higher mathematics. English, of course, was an essential. Ancient, medieval, English, and American history rounded out a program which contained a small amount of science. When the first real high school building was occupied, the curriculum changed. Eighth grade students registered for one of three self-explanatory courses: academic with a major in fine arts, academic with a major in science, and business. The courses considered most important met five days a week. Among these were English and mathematics. Others varied in frequency. Some art and glee club work was offered, and all students took physical education. Through the years changes in life and in values have caused many changes in the course of study. At times all subjects taught met five times a week, at others, the weekly number of recitations varied. The depression eliminated many electives, but returning prosperity restored them. Now the high school student has the opportunity to follow a wide and varied program. He may prepare himself for almost any Walk of life. If he intends to go to college, he has at his disposal all the required subjects and electives. In the interest groups, which meet less frequently, he can enjoy and pursue a personal hobby. And if he wishes to enter on his life's work immediately after high school, he can follow the Diversified Occupations or Distributive Education programs. The Raleigh schools offer students excellent advantages for happy and profitable living now and in the future. :Senior Cyan RICKIE AND DEBBIE JAcoBs Mascots 21 enior Clan CAP AND GOWN Joan Stone, Chairman Shirley Payne Joe Pearce Tommy Satterfield Barbara Spivey SENIOR ASSEMBLY Shirley Bagwell, Chairman Nancy Bass Evalyn Bane Charles Jenkins Sonny Pierce Sunny Wooten Rex McMillan Purvis Boyette MASCOT Yvonne Hale, Chairman Dora Ann Mills Nancy Boyles Faye Hicks Donnie Jackson Toby Layton B.

If 75 wan Ong We, as young swans, came here A short five years ago. Our youthful years were ever dear As the stream of life did calmly flow. There were some ripples along the way Which failed to hinder us long, For we were young and lived for the day When we could sing the adult's song. We paused at times along the way To sip the water cool-our balm. We were still young and blithe and gay, For us life still was calm. By now we knew we were maturing And soon adult swans we'd be. Ahead the future seemed alluring, And a new bright world we began to see. We cannot return, nor e'er regain The days that used to be. Once gone, we'll ne'er come back again, And Weill live in a memory. But as these days must die, So new ones must be born. We'll softly sigh and say good-bye, And welcome tomorrow's morn. So we must bid thee a fond adieug Hugh Morson High, we'll e'er remember you. The future now ahead of us beams, With the past a memory, and tomorrow-dreams! EVALYN BANE, Class Poet. Jvliafory of flue 6fa4.4 of 1955 In our sub-freshman year, We burst forth from our shells as cygnets and found ourselves on a strange new lake called Hugh Morson High School. Little did we realize what rich knowledge and pleasure we would find on this small lake. Our first year was the hardest, for we had to make adjustmentsg soons, however, we assembled ourselves, pledging to work hard and faithfully as one group. t'United We stand, divided we fall became our motto, and with Bobby Crew as our leader, we soon became well acquainted with our lake. In the spring, amid all the learning, we took time out for a semi-formal dance. The next year we really felt we knew our way around as we changed classes and mingled with the adult swans on the lake. We chose Jimmy Daniel as our leader that year. In the spring, we again changed our pace and held a square dance in the school gym. Our third year on the lake was very important because we realized that we must work hard in preparation for the next two-the hardest of all. That year we chose as our leader Ernest Spence, who worked hard in keeping all of us together as one strong body. 54 We shall never forget how toilsome, but yet how successful, our fourth year was. We selected Ebb Tide as the theme for our Junior-Senior dance and pleased the senior swans very much with our seashore backdrop, giant clam shell and Neptuneis crown. With Ernest Spence as our president, we finished that year, pleased and satisfied with the thought that next year we, too, would be adult swans, as our new class rings indicated. It seemed very close by then and thrilled us even more. Finally came our fifth year, and we were senior swans at last, that year was even more delightful and successful than we had dared to dream. We worked all through the year for our beloved lake, Hugh Morson, because we were told that this year was to be its last as a home for young swans like us. Here our fondest memories had originated, and we had hoped that the young cygnets coming after us could share the same memories in the same places we had. That last year was full of important activities as well as learning. In the fall, we selected Cheaper by the Dozen as our senior play and made it a great success. The juniors worked hard and gave us a beautiful Junior-Senior dance in the spring. Soon came the tasks of selecting invitations and calling cardsg then, the pride of ordering our caps and gowns. The first of graduation activities was senior assembly, next was class nightg then came baccalaureate and finally commencement. Life on this beautiful friendly lake, Hugh Morson, has now come to an end. We, as adult swans, must leave and discover what is in store for us in the ever-moving stream called Life. We are setting forth unknowingly, but unafraid, because we have worked hard in preparation for the days yet to come. All of us leave with sad hearts but with high hopes that We shall meet again in the future to recall the years when we were cygnets anxiously awaiting adulthood. As we now prepare to leave our lake, this thought is foremost in every mind: Will we reach our goal before the end when we must sing our swan song? SUE RANDOLPH, Historian. ro lzecy of llze Clan of 1955 We sang our swan song that day long ago when we left our happy days at Hugh Morson behind us. It seemed almost to be the end of all of us as well as of our dear old Alma Mater, and yet here we are, safe and sound, twenty years later. We're all happily together once moreg having weathered the storms of life, having had our successes and failures, our joys and heartaches, and our sickness and health, we came back, to see old friends and renew old acquaintances. For the many of us who thought that the parting of our ways was the final curtain on the gay days of our youth, the grand finale, truly our swan song, this gathering is an unusually joyous ocassion, that once-in-a-lifetime event, that fleeting glimpse of our long-lost youth. This huge reunion was instigated by that eminent lawyer and politician who has risen to the high office of governor of our fair state, the Honorable James William Cromwell Daniel, Jr. The grand event is being held at Jimmy's luxurious summer home on the shores of the picturesque Swan Lake. This lovely ultra modern mansion was designed by world famous architect, Bobby Creel, with all masonry work handled by J. D. Green, brick contractor. The interior of the home, which is twenty-first century in design, was capably fashioned by interior decorators Alice Kelley and Kay Jones. The beautiful landscape surrounding the house and lake is the work .of Billy Newberry, forestry expert and Charles Hood, horticulturist. Rushing about. making last minute preparations for the party are a few of the dozens of secretaries Jimmy has had working on the plans. Some of those whom I recognized as old classmates are Ann Davis, Arnettie Inscore, Neal McConnell, Shirley Ann Beaver, Nancy Boyles, and Melda Lee. Glancing at our watches, all of which were designed, of course, by Harrison O'Neal. famous jeweler, we realize it is time for the chartered plane to arrive bearing more guests, so we rush out to the airstrip to greet them. As the huge jet airliner comes to a grinding stop, we see that the pilot is none other than Frank Carter, jet ace. In the cabin with Frank we catch a glimpse of Douglas Bullard, electronics expert who is operating the huge control panel. Lewis Alford, jet plane mechanic, rushes out of the hanger to check the plane just as the passengers prepare to unload. As the door of the plane opens, we see three uniformed, immaculately dressed young ladies bound forth and rush down the steps to the ground. They are: Jean Rhue, Sarah Ridoutt, and Marjorie House, airline hostesses. They prepare to help the passengers off as we anxiously wait. The passengers, the first of whom is the renowned actress of T.V. and movies, Marilyn Zschau, with her personal secretaries Anne Bullard and Mary Ellen Tribby close on her heels. After a long pause, who should appear at the door but that stupendous, colossal motion picture director, Larry Cecil B. DeMille Craven, followed by a host of his personal secretaries who travel with him at all times. They are: Ruth Daniels, Shirley Messer, Phyllis Mundy, Marie Parrish, Shirley Payne, and Bobbie Lou Poole. Next we see that professional golf great, B. H. McLean KB. H. stands for Ben Hoganj, who just won the national open golf championship. As he reaches the ground, he is mobbed by a group of mild-mannered housewives, who are pushing, clawing, shoving, bumping, hitting, scratching, biting, and beating each other t.rying to get his autograph. Those in this group are: Barbara Wilson, June Hilburn, Elizabeth Holloway, Ola Mae 55 l w 1 Jackson, Shirley Jones, Barbara Barbee Creel, wife of the famous architect, and last but not least Gloria Thompson, devoted wife of a mechanical engineer. High in the air above hovers a helicopter. Suddenly something appears to fallg all gasp as they realize it's just Howard Mitchell, paratrooper, coming to the party in an unusual way. As the helicopter descends and hovers over our heads, we see Chester Edwards, aerial photographer, taking pictures. Conversation will be recorded, for we see Ruby Sloan and Nancy Snakenburg, professional stenographers, frantically taking notes. We are all trooping back to the house as a big black custom-built limousine designed by Silas Holt, automotive designer, comes roaring up. The car comes to a screeching stop, and Boyce Nance, Joe Cox, and Thomas Joyner step out. These multi-millionaire business tycoons are followed by their private secretaries, Betty Jo Hayley, Barbara Spivey, and Shirley Bridges. Before the car is driven away, Thad Stevens and Bernice Johnson, specially trained auto mechanics, jump out to check some wee little noise they heard in the engine. The car is powered by a rocket engine, which was built by rocket engineer, Jerry Jones. All the mechanical works of the car were designed by Mac Bradley, mechanical engineer, and the car was custom-built by Robert Wilkins, machinist, and Phillip Williams, welder. Everyone goes back to the house as the reunion goes into full swing. The first portion of the party is to be a get acquainted periodg and as we wander around the huge ballroom, we recognize many familiar faces. The first group we run into seems rather divided in con- versation as Nancy Bass and Harry Massey, well-known criminal lawyers, are discussing recent murder casesg and Pat Danieley, Nancy's secretary, who seems bored with the subject of murder, is chatting about the latest in fashions with fashion designer-artist Guinivere Finch, and Mademoiselle Mary Anna Trubnick, world renowned fashion designer who just returned from Paris. Ruth Baker, beautician who designed many of the beautiful hair styles here today, gives her views of the latest in milady's hair-dos, Next we hear Dr. James Purdy discussing the new medical book, Life by I. M. Dead, with Dr. Norma Alexander, noted pediatrician, while nurses Maxine Kearney, Jean Price, Pat Anderson, Jean Wall, and Yvonne Hale listen with interest. Over on one side in a close huddle we notice diesel engineers Jerry Davis, McCoy Poole, Rocky Hester, and Johnny Bryant discussing the dire threat of the cosmic-powered engines to the field of diesel engineering. As we drift over to the refreshment table, whom should we see slicing the cake but Dr. Gary Lane, noted surgeon. Pouring punch are his special nurses Ann Blackley and Ann McEwen. Sue Randolph, home economics teacher, had charge of these delicious refreshments. Joanna Rhodes, multi-millionaire business queen, seems to be lecturing to a group about something. Let's move closer and see what's up. Now we see that she is giving some of the employees of her new thirty-two story department store a pep-talk. They are Stanley Greenspon, public relations man, Clellie Ray, personnel manager, and Shirley Perry, window dresser. Looking on are the ofiice workers in the store, who include Louise Hughes, Irene Ihrie, Josephine Lee, Nancy Riggsbee, and Ann Hamner. Admiral Gene Caulberg of the United States Navy is discussing with sailors James Morton and Lewis Moore the conning tower and gun turrets of the super-structure which is on the starboard side of this giant aircraft carrier and the invulnerable bulkheads in the bow along with the atomic engine in the stern which can clip off forty knots per hour. Huh? Some of the landlubbers listening to the informative Q?D lecture are soldiers Billy Satterfield, Kenneth Mingis, Glenn Suggs, and Donnie Jackson. Joe Moore and Joel Goldin, salesmen, are passing through the crowd trying to sell toupees. They should have a good market here for twenty years has taken a lot of hairg for example, Eddie Cueball Lassiter, post office worker, was their First customer. Pardon me for saying so, but time has had its affect on some of our happy clan. Secretaries Zenobia Pike and Mary Ann Kline have been bothered with rheumatism and other aches and pains, but today they are as limber as jack-rabbits due to the work of Lillian Hickman, physical therapist. As the day progresses, everyone gradually drifts outdoors and down to the banks of the beautiful lake. The recreation for the afternoon was planned by Tommy Satterfield, recrea- tional director. He was ably assisted by Carl Wills and Roy High, physical education teachers, and Olympic star Barbara Bennett, who just won the Wor1d's Championship for Women in weightlifting. The first sport is to be a baseball game with two internationally known baseball pros, Rex McMillan of the Yankees and Frank Farlow of the Dodgers. The armed services are well represented on these teams, for some of the players are: Joe Pearce, Charles Boykin, Ed Lloyd, and Bobby Holland, all of the Air Force, and Arthur Boyles of the Merchant Marines, Next we see a girl's basketball game made up entirely of secretaries. Those in this game are Rheta Salter, Phyllis Price, Nancy Smith, Melba Jean Stell, Ann Stevens, Joan Stone, Ann Bridges, Sara Sue Long, Margaret Alford, Carolyn Goodwin, Joyce Arnold, and Shirley Goodwin. Kitty Newton, secretary of T.V. Station P.D.Q., is attentively listening to Shirley Seagroves, telephone operator, and Lee Price, teletype operator, as they discuss the new international code system. Wayne Brown, weathy owner. of a mink ranch in Alaska, is discussing the health of his little minks with Dr. William Poole, Veternarian, while Sonny Pierce, owner and proprietor of the late Pierce Music Company, is mildly t?D exasperated with fireman Dwight Wilson because his store burned to the ground last week. Faye Bullard seems to have been asking a lot of prying questions today, but finally our curiosity is satisfied when we find out she is an investigator for the Raleigh Credit Bureau. Now she is comparing notes with David Honeycutt, public accountant, and her secretaries, Barbara White, Beatrice Wood, Elsie Woodall, Sunny Wooten, Lois Johnson and Virginia Murray, to determine everyone's credit rating: and, if you ask me, to see how well everyone is doing Financially. Over here we seem to have a minor argument. Dr. Dan Clark, Optometrist and his secretary, Catherine Miller, are telling Bernard Bledsoe, opt-ician, that movies are very bad for one's eyes, while movie theatre manager Marshall Otto expounds his disagreement with this statement vehemently. il wonder why!J Watching the whole discussion with amusement are Dr. Benjamin Morton and his private secretary, Frances Massey Morton. Twilight is lending gold and purple hues to the beautiful lake, as suddenly everyone holds his breath, and for an instant all hearts stop beating, for around a point in the lake comes a large group of stately swans, majestically led by a giant jet black swan. Sadly we go back into the mansion as our hearts wander back through the years to our high school days when, like this sedate swan, we were almost ready to sing our swan song. We all gather in the brilliantly lighted grand ballroom and quickly push all doleful thoughts from our minds. We noticed, as darkness fell the wonderful lighting effects on the grounds and in the house. The beautiful lighting fixtures and the maze of crevices for in- direct lighting were capably designed by electrical engineers Hardy Rothrock and Robert 56 Mangum. Jimmy Pearce, Willie Rideout, and Jerry Carr, electricians, installed all electrical appliances and services in the house. The Reverend Hunter Stokes is chatting about church music with Jane Tingle, Minister of Music, Sadye Anne Boyd, instrumental music teacher, Betty Horne, church secretary, and Betty Lynn White, Director of Religious Education. Laboratory technicians, Alice Oliver, Christine Owens, NormalRobinson, and Barbara Saylor are gossiping about a subject of common interest with chemists Annette Cagle and Joyce Lynn. The subject of conversation is the new blood-type, S.O.S. School administrator, Charles Baker, who is now principal of Hugh Morson, and school teachers Hazel Wiggins and Connie Moore are comparing their knowledge of children's problems lOh, what a subject!J with social workers Dora Ann Mills, Faye Hicks, Mary Lou Parker, Cleo Stanley, and Lynn Bane. Miss Bane, who is a well-known author, has just completed the story of her life entitled, Home Sweet Home or Life in the Slums. Pharmacist Allan Boyd and dental technician Ray Matthews are conversing enthusiast.ically about a new type of false teeth with Dr. Purvis Boyette and Dr. Nelson Hinton, dentists. Big Purv has just finished his autobiography, Me, Me, and More Me. After a delicious banquet in the beautiful state dining room, we all return to the ballroom to enjoy the end of a perfect day. Jimmy calls for silence and announces that we are going to have some entertainment, but little do we realize at the moment what truly quality performances we are to behold. The curtain on the small stage rises and Shirley Bagwell, concert pianist, begins to play her own composition, which is the rage of the age, Beethoven's Boogie. After Shirley, that. outstanding Metropolitan Opera Star, Ernest Spence, thrills everyone with his interpretation of the second aria from La Traviataf' Next we have quite a change in mood as popular vocalist Bobby Green makes all the women swoon with his version of Birth of the Blues. Bobby is accompanied by Earl Jones, professional drum- mer, and his cambo. Last, but certainly not least, we hear Frances Eubanks, concert violinist. The lights dim once more with a spotlight on Frances as she softly begins to play the beautiful Swan Song by Heine. While she plays, a tear comes to every eye and our hearts flee back twenty years. Just as the last notes of this mournful but beautiful song fade away, we hear from far out on the lake, as if it were predetermined, the song of the black swan. It is her first song and yet her last, but even so it is exquisitely beautiful and meaningful. Yes, once we sang our swan song and rang down the final curtain on everything that was light and gay, and yet here we are. Life can and must go on. With this unfailing faith is a power far greater than mere humans possess, we must carry on. Life may seem to be made of a series of swan songs, but we go on and each ending only leads to a greater and more perfect beginning. There is no end to that road, no Swan Song. CHARLES JENKINS, Prophet. acaai an eafameni of the Claw of 1955 We, the one hundred and seventy swans, in this our swan song, know that this class and this high school must die tonight. We remember when we entered this Wonderful life as young ducklings with little knowl- edge and experience. But as all ugly ducklings do, we grew into beautiful swans. We grew lovely feathers in our knowledge and our social life, and we learned a beautiful song, a song we may sing only once. Knowing this, we, the last graduating class, do bequeath to the following the few gifts we have to bestow before we sing this last beautiful song. ARTICLE I To our Alma Mater, we bequeath our sincere affection, our deep reverence, and our heartfelt gratitude for everything she has given us-the things we can take with us and the things we must leave behind. Our memories here will live forever in our hearts. ARTICLE II We bestow on Mr. Hooper the memories of the last and the best Senior Class that ever was graduated from Hugh Morson.

We thank all of them for the knowledge they have pounded into us that will influence our fut.ure lives. ARTICLE IV To the Sub-Freshmen, we leave the good thought of another year at Morson. We leave them all our good luck charms and best wishes. It's up to them to keep the school rolling. 57 To the Freshmen, we give any pencil-stubs, erasers, and scraps of paper that we left in our haste. They'll need anything they can get for Senior High next year. To the Sophomores, we bestow some rest. They'll need to store it up for the two big years ahead. To the Juniors, we give our deepest sympathy that they won't. know the pride of graduating from Morson. We also give them our Senior dignity on condition that they will uphold it with seriousness always. To all the underclassmen, we leave the hope that one day they will no longer be ugly ducklings, but will turn into beautiful swans. ARTICLE V We leave the balance of our treasury to the Dean of Boys-to buy lie detectors, magnifying glasses, etc., for his detective work. We give the Dean of Girls the privilege of borrowing Mr. Smith's detective devices. To Mr. Nelson, we bequeath all the amazing knowledge and startling new information that we've furnished him on various exams. We also give him permission to use it to impress the underclassmen. To Mr. Hornback, our school treasurer, for his faithful years at Morson, we bestow a heavy mortgage on our future. To Mr. King and Mr. Shay, our coaches, we say thanks for the fine athletic programs we've enjoyed.

Though making new friends and learning our way around a strange building kept us busily occupied for quite a while, we soon found time to elect a fine slate of ofiicers to lead us in our first year at Hugh Morson. Those chosen were Jarvis Atkins, president, Glenda Edge, vice-president, Betsy Wilder, secretary, Tony Upchurch, treasurer, and Don Harrison, sergeant-at-arms. These officers together with Mrs. Jack Davis, adviser, led us in a very successful year, the highlight of which was a semi-formal dance held in the spring. To lead us in our second year at Hugh Morson, we chose the following officers: Jarvis Atkins, president, Wesley Price, vice-president, Glenda Edge, secretary, Patsy Horton, treasurer, and Joe Winfree, sergeant-at-arms. Richard Parker served as our class adviser. One of the two most outstanding memories of our freshman year was the thrill we received from first changing classes. The other thing we most remember was our semi-formal ninth-grade social. Both the ninth-grade teachers and We, the students, worked hard to make that dance the big success that it Was. Since two years of experience were behind us, we began our sophomore year at Hugh Morson with confidence in ourselves. We were willing to under- take many new activities under the able leadership of our president, Tony Dean, and our adviser, Mrs. John Beard. The other officers of our class Were: Wesley Price, vice-president, Glenda Edge, secretary, Patsy Horton, treasurer, and Don Harrison, sergeant-at-arms. None of us will forget the tenth grade, for when all other thoughts concerning that year are gone, we will remember biology. Time was taken out from the difiicult search for wild-flowers, however, to hold a social in April. This social was an informal dance whose theme was, appropriately enough, April Showersfl The beginning of our junior year was, indeed, a happy time for members of our class. At last we had reached the coveted position of upper-classmen. Each of us was filled with a desire to prove ourselves capable OI carrying out the responsibilities a Junior Class had to assume. Because we knew that the year ahead would be filled with hard work, we tried to elect a slate of officers who could lead us best. Those chosen to lead our class were: Tony Dean, president, Bobby Akin, vice-president, Nancy Hutchins, secretary, Rachel Watkins, treasurer, and John Fry, sergeant-at-arms. Our very helpful class adviser was Mrs. J. L. Marcom. The first important project undertaken by our Junior Class was the sale of Christmas cards. Money raised through this project was to be used to finance the Junior-Senior. Nearly every member of the class contributed his part to the success of the sale by managing to sell cards to his family and friends. Since we raised more money than any class before us had raised through selling Christmas cards, we felt that the campaign was a real success. Many thanks are due to James Travis and John Nelson, who directed the sale of the cards. The third week of January brought Wonderful news to the members of the Junior Class. Our class rings had come at last. In spite of the fact that school was closed due to snow, many of the juniors made their way to the Y.W.C.A., Where Miss Nell Stinson, who was in charge of class rings, distributed them to us. For many weeks after this a junior could easily be detected by his out-stretched hand. In February, elections for marshals were held. Six of them were selected from our Junior Class. The outcome of the election was as follows: Glenda Edge, chief marshal, Rachel Gulley, assistant chief marshal, Patsy Horton, Marie McGee, Nancy Hutchins, and Carolyn Young, regular marshals. The final money-making project for the Junior-Senior was carried out in the early part of March. This project was the Junior-Senior basketball game. Many members of the class participated in the game itselfg and many more who did not do this, helped in other Ways. Homemade cookies and candy were donated by juniors and sold at the game. Posters advertising the game were drawn by class members. Since We enjoyed working together and some money was raised as a result of our efforts, we consider this project to have been a big success. Needless to say, the best part of our entire year as juniors was the Junior- Senior. Though our backs ached and our hands were tired from endless work on the dance, every member of our class was proud of what We had done. The soft lights, the music, and the enchantment of the decorations will never be forgotten, even as our four years at Morson will never be forgotten.

After electing a fine slate of officers to lead them, a class meeting was held putting special emphasis on money-making projects. Candy Land was the theme chosen for the semi-formal dance which was, held April 17. The class enjoyed a night of fun together. Throughout the year the class has worked together with their motto, Winners never quitg quitters never Win, foremost in their minds. Q- ? grealzman Clan alcliuiliea As we remember this year-our first year of real high school and our last year at Hugh Morson-we think back to September when we experienced the novelty of chang- ing classes each period. This, of course, meant a chance at the water fountain during those warm fall days. While We were adjusting to our new role, we soon began thinking of our leaders who would best represent us as class officers. After a trip to the auditorium to hear campaign speeches, there were elections in our homerooms which gave the following results: Reggie Poole, president, Wallace Price, vice-president, Pat McDaniel, secretaryg Diane Johnson, treasurer, Danny Batchelor, sergeant-at- arms. After Christmas Reggie conducted our first class meet- ing which concerned plans for our social. The following student committee chairmen were appointed: Sharon Cates, decorations, Barbara Jackson, refreshmentsg Kat Jones, entertainment, Reatha Gulley, clean-up, Skipper Moore, tickets. The Semi-Formal will long be in our memories as one of the highlights of our freshman year. 72 S ii Ti grealzman Clan OFFICERS REGGIE PooLE DIANE JOHNSON WALLACE PRICE President Treasurer Vice-President DANNY BATCHELOR PAT MCDANIEL MRS.

'A 1:1 ' if 43 S itil' f 5 Sub-rgredlzman Clam alciiuitiea As the members of the new eighth grade, we came with fear, trembling, and a sense of great anticipation to Hugh Morson this past September. This was one of the biggest events in our young lives-we were in HIGH SCHOOL. The two hundred and fifty or so of us, coming from many schools, were divided among seven teachers. Here we met new friends and had new experiences. One of the highlights of the week always was our Friday square- dancing period. Besides the teachers for reading, writing, and arithmetic, We had an art teacher, a music teacher, and shop and home-making teachers. Before Christmas and after Easter, we had our eighth grade parties, which were well-attended. Some of the rooms entered basket- ball and football tournaments. A great deal of interest was shown this spring during the elections for student council oiiicers for next year. 4.-QQQ In the middle of the year, we had an unexpected holiday when school was closed for three days because of the snow storm. Of course, in October we almost got blown away by Hurricane Hazel. This has been a wonderful year. Although we were only eighth graders, we were exceptional eighth graders. Before us, all students had to work hard for four years to become seniors, and we have accomplished this in one year. Yes, next year Hugh Morson will be a Junior High, and We are going to be its first graduating class. It is no wonder, then, that we are looking forward to 1955-1956 and being seniors! 86 i l Organize: fiom! The Club, or Activity Program, in the Raleigh High School has varied greatly through the years. In early times literary societies, de- bating societies, and glee clubs made up the program. These groups met after schoolg consequently membership was comparatively small. No credit toward graduation was asked for or granted. Later a club program was incorporated in the school schedule. A period was set aside for meetings, and nearly everyone in school belonged to one or more of these groups. Meetings were held once a Week, and one-fourth credit was given for each club. These groups offered a chance for participating in almost any type of extra-curricular activity known, but gave little attention to scholastic activity. At the present the school offers, a group of interest courses most of which are based on regular school subjects. These classes meet during the regular school day but are scheduled for only three sessions a week. This plan enables the student to take his core subjects five times a week and meet his interest groups at alternating periods. Thus he can find expression for his interests in such courses as art, music, homemaking, personal typing, and literature. He receives no credit for this work but broadens his experience and develops new lines of self-expression. A study of the purposes of these groups stated in the following section will better explain the present plan and reveal the extent of the variety of the interests.

SMITH The Diversified Occupations pro- gram is open to any student 16 years old in the 11th and 12th grades. The program is designed to teach and train a student in a special occupation by studying the theory in school and working at the actual job in the afternoons under a skilled person in that oc- cupation. A student registering for Diver- sified Occupations is required to meet the same requirements for graduation as other students. Di- versified Occupations only uses the student's electives and counts as three units each year. Students may take two other subjects to round out five units if they desire. A student is not able to participate in physical education or the inter- est areas While in Diversified Occupations. The schedule is arranged so that the student has four periods in school and is dismissed in time to get to the job about one o'clock. Whereas the course is designed primarily for students who are not planning to attend college, it does not mean a student cannot go to college after taking Diversified Occupations. it .

Football was the first sport for which a state trophy was offered. Raleigh won this championship for the Iirst three years, defeating its western opponent in the title game in 1915 by a score of 117-0. Gradually, other sports came under state supervised championships. In fact, in the earlier days hardly a year went by in which Raleigh did not have at least one state championship team, and in 1934-35 she made a grand slam in sports, winning all the major championships for the year. As more and more towns became athletic minded, it became increas- ingly difficult to put out the top team, nevertheless, Raleigh had its share of winners. Sometimes, it was in football that she won honorsg and at others it was in baseball, golf, or track. It is basketball, however, in which Raleigh recently has been on the top of the heap. For the past three years she has. been the proud winner of the State AAA trophy. And next year with all her athletes housed under one roof again and with a feeling of stronger unity, she is serving notice to all corners that she will be a stronger contender than ever. 1955 Spona ora Xvgss f Z 'S- 5 l 1 5 'z E , In if k 8 y .

Rounding out Coach 1'--J Massey's staff were Chris Shay, Herb Britt, and Clyde Walker. 5 Raleigh opened the season by taking a defeat at the hands '55 f of the Greensboro Whirlies. During the remainder of the A W season they lost to Kinston, Durham, Goldsboro, Burlington, Fayetteville, and Rocky Mount. Ra1eigh's only two victories came against Wilson and Dunn. The highlight of the season came when Raleigh played a highly favored New Hanover High School Team of Wilmington to a 7-7 deadlock. The Caps final record was 2-7-1. Raleigh standouts this year included Captain Carl Wills, Wade Caulberg, Ernest Price, Robert Mangum, Herb Greene, Douglas Sallinger, Tommy Little, and Ed Bost who played in the Shrine Bowl Game. Coach Massey has a fine crop of returning lettermen and with the boys coming up from the Junior Varsity Team should produce a winning team for '56.

The Caps, losing only to Wilming- ton in conference play, finished first in the Eastern AAA Con- ference. Their only other loss of the regular season came against a highly favored Wake Forest Freshman Team, 64-42, which the Caps had beaten earlier, 69-66. Leading the Caps in rebounds were Rex McMillan, Grey Poole, Fred DeBerry, and Richard Ray. Semi Mintz directed the floor play with Billy Hitchcock on hand to help. Several subs, who played an important part in the Caps Wins were Roy High, Ernest Price, John Johnson, and Billy Brick- house. The scoring leader for the Caps was Rex McMillan, who finished the season with 271 points. On numerous occasions, such as the final game of the State Tourna- ment with Wilmington, Rex poured in twenty or more points. Other scoring leaders were: Mintz 247, DeBerry 217, and Poole 162. Although running into hard luck against Gastonia and Wil- mington in the State AAA Tour- nament, the Caps had performed through the regular season in a truly State Championship style. Not enough credit can be given to Coaches Carroll King and Watson Holyfield for producing such a fine squad. Uilflalh g fi 1 ' be K . l X !l Q: xl fx!!

The Caps should be strong both offensively and defensively this year. Covering the infield for Raleigh will be Fred DeBerry, F. Norton, Gordon Welch, and John Johnson. Patrolling the outfield will be Rex McMillan, Ed Bost, and either Stacy Holmes or Bobby Asher. Frank Farlow and Doug Johnson will do most of the pitching with Caulberg and Dean on hand to help. Catching for the Caps could be either Dempsey, Swain, Crumpler, or Underwood. For hitting power Raleigh has McMillan, DeBerry, an.d Bost, all of whom are strong contenders for All-Eastern and All-State honors if they perform as expected. ,, , ., 9 1 xx fl 5 . f 9 I' V l l l P A-. vi' l 148 golf Gam Raleigh High's golf team is expected to be a strong contender for the State Championship this year.

The team will be coached for the Hrst time this year by Carroll King.

Through this division can be traced the high lights of the school year: the senior play, the selection of Miss Hugh Morson, the operetta, favorite assembly programs, familiar scenes around the campus, and the superlatives. The last mentioned item, next to Miss Hugh Morson, is probably of greatest interest to the readers. Here are their leaders, chosen by secret ballot of their classmates. These students have to meet the standards of citizenship of the school and must have been in attendance for at least one year prior to election. Only one superlative title can be held by an individual. During the passing years these superlatives have assumed more and more importance in the feature section of the book. At first, pictures of all students holding these titles were placed on one page, and some- times the pictures were snapshots or photographs. similar to those in the class section. Now, as can be seen, each couple occupies a whole page in this important division of the book.

Our star of hope in future years, As she has been our guide. We will be true while time endures, And love none else beside. Chorus 'Tis Hugh Morson High we love, 'Tis Hugh Morson High, Of her we'll sing, till earth shall ring With echoes from the sky. We love her for the great times past, For greater yet to be, Surpassing all that others know From sea to farthest sea. We love her for her learning, skill, For all her guiding gleams, For visions, and for victories, For glorious, golden dreams. Her grace and beauty blend in one, As virtuous valor strives, And cultured kindness hovers 'round While vibrant wisdom thrives. Here sportsmanship and romance bloom, Careers are launched for life, The vanquished rises, conqueror, Achieving in the strife. I'd love to blend my life with hers And in that blending be The veriest jot of any plan For larger liberty. Her spirit we will keep alive And growing, going strong, Until some genius blossoms forth In richer, grander song. J. J. HORNBACK 172 l alcluerfidem en L4 As a preface to this, the Advertising Section of THE OAK LEAF, the staff Would like to express its appreciation to its patrons. Without their friendship and co-operation the publication of such a book as this would have been impossible. From the days when a full page advertisement could be secured for half the price of one today, the staff has been to these same merchants, and these people have always re- ceived them courteously and bought the space they have sought to sell. It is the earnest desire of the editors and business managers. of this book that their acquaintances patronize the loyal Raleigh Merchants who have helped for many years to make THE OAK LEAF a successful annual.
