J T Barber High School - Warrior Yearbook (New Bern, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 108 of the 1957 volume:

♦ UAe arrior J. T uttps CJ. r J. Harler Jf yh c5 c iool re w Jiern y lCor ill Carolina We, the Annual Staff, are proud to present to you our 1957 Warrior. This book has caught glimpses here and there, so that in years to come the activities of this school year at Barber High will not fade from memory. In later years, while turning these pages, if you should recall the many smiles, sorrows, and dreams of ' 57, we shall be content, knowing that we have done the things we were called upon to do. Con en s I Acfinin is tra tion II G asses Seniors uniors O opfio m ores Are, sii nen III Sports IV Activities V Advertisers KAY FRANKLIN - Editor 2 (f 7 c a o The dedication of the 1957 Warrior is but a small token of the appreciation and gratitude the Senior Class feels and wishes to express to our football team, The Warriors, who in 1957 brought to our school our first North Carolina State Football Championship Trophy. As we think back orf the events of this year, and as others in the future will gaze upon our trophy, this symbol of championship will bring to mind those who gave us so much for our Alma Mater, whose thoughts and deeds were ever directed toward bring¬ ing the highest honor to our school. May it serve as a guiding light to future teams as our National Monuments are symbolic of great accomplishments of the past. Thus, this book we offer as a monument erected in grateful appreciation of their efforts. v V H m Our J J rmcipaPs JKessape I wish to take this opportunity to pin orchids on the Yearbook Staff and the faculty sponsors of the 1957 edition of the Warrior. Each year the staff members seem to be dedicated to the purpose of eclipsing the successes of their predecessors. This is a type of spirit for which I feel that they need to be commended. New developments in all lines of endeavor constantly place demands upon us to always be striving to im¬ prove our productions. I wish to congratulate you for the manner in which you have accepted and met this challenge. Your colleagues, I know, are justly proud of you and their 1957 publication. At this point, a word is probably in order to the members of the senior class as a whole. Last year ' s class was fondly called a history- making class. The same can be said for you, also. Many of you were included in the number who were the first students to enter the J. T. Barber School in 1951. You were seventh graders then. Just for fun, try to recall that day in September 1951. Added to this distinction, your class began this year as the strongest in the history of our town. As you leave us and travel your selected ways, we , the members of the faculty, sincerely hope that all your accomplishments will be described in superlatives. Very truly yours, t m. c 4 MISS DAISY McMANUS, Secretary to Principal 8 ‘ � , S M0( rM k ■ MRS. MARTHA S. FAISON MRS. DOROTHEA P. JENKINS English English MRS. LAURE TTA B. SMITH English MRS. MARY B.

During our first weeks in high school we were more or less led around by our faithful advisors, Mrs. D. P. Jenkins, Mrs. L. B. Smith, Mrs. A. B. Bryant, Mrs. J. W. Jones and Mr. F. Graham. We are greatly indebted to these advi¬ sors who did so much to guide us through that first year. By having the largest class to ever enter West Street High School, it was only natural that there was much talent to be displayed from such a large group. Members of our class who showed exceptional ability in music were Lillie Coleman and Jessie Chapman. The males in our class who expressed musical ability played a dominating role in the Boys Chorus. They were Cicero Bynum, James Fonville, William Gavin and William Hawkins. This proved to be only a portion of our musical knowledge. Joining the band was Cic ero Bynum. Kay Franklin became a majorette. Many other clubs attracted us also, especially, the N. H. A. who accepted such young ladies as Minnie Hick¬ man, Deli ah Bunting, Ann Sawyer, Kay Franklin, Ida Dove, Janet White and Omega Nixon. Janet White and Betty Chapman helped to cheer our team to the Eastern Division Championship. With the help of Walter Bellamy, Edward Bell and Alphonso Moore, our football team won the Eastern Divi¬ sion Championship. On the basketball team the freshmen were real standouts. Taking these honors were the athletic-minded Ed¬ ward Bell and Walter Bellamy. Helping to carry out the governing of our school were Ann Sawyer and James Allen. The planet staff increased with the addition of Kay Franklin and Betty Chapman. Seeing that our school was kept safe by joining the safety patrol were William Harvey, George A. Brown, Elbert Coleman, William Hawkins, Robert Hyman, and William Evans. Thus, this ended the first act of our four act drama, with the freshmen putting on quite a show. September was eagerly anticipated with our becoming more dignified as sophomores. The year began by the Tri-Hi-Y selecting new members. Among the chosen few were Kay Franklin, Ann Sawyer and Janet White. The Hi-Y increased its enrollment by adding to its membership William Hawkins, William Gavin, Henry Mack, Edward Bell, Shade Dove, James Simmons, and Robert Hyman. New members for the Planet Staff were James Simmons, Johnnie White and Ann Sawyer. In the N. H. A. a sophomore held a very important local and state office. Ann Sawyer became vice president of our local chapter and parliamentarian of the State organization. There was a noted improvement in the band that year due to the increased enrollment with William Hawkins, William Gavin and Henry Mack. Kay Franklin was again a majorette. T he Industrial and Vocational Arts Department began turning out better products with such industrious members as William Wilson, Linward Brown, Richard Blount, George A. Brown, James Simmons, James Allen and James Bell. The Drama Guild’s enrollment was expanded by drawing into its circle such actors and actresses as William Gavin, Betty Chapman, Johnnie White, Minnie Hickman, Ann Sawyer, Ida Dove, Kay Franklin, Henry Mack, Robert Hyman, Janet White, Omega Nixon, and Dorothea Kearney. New members of the Chorus were Maggie Carter, Minnie Hickman, Janet White, Dorothea Kearney, Omega Nixon, Ida Dove, Carolyn Best, Marjorie Leary, William Harvey and William Vails. Seeing that the Student Council still carried out its functions were Edward Bell, Ann Sawyer, Henry Mack, Ida Dove and James Simmons. On the Warrior’s team were Walter Bellamy, Edward Bell, James Simmons, Alphonso Moore, William Harvey, Shade Dove, George E. Brown, Reuben Best, and James Fonville. Edward Bell, Reuben Best and Walter Bellamy gained much recognition on the basketball team. The girls’ team did just as well with Emma Thompson as a star. Our advisors for act II were Mrs. D. P. Jenkins, Mrs. L. B. Smith, Mrs. J. W. Jones, and Mrs. M. B. Danyus. Our junior year began by moving into a new and better equipped school, J. T. Barber. We were very proud to be back in our newly completed school, since we had been here in seventh and eighth grades. 25 The junior class organized under the leadership of the following officers: president, James Simmons; vice president, Alphonso Moore; secretary, William Gavin; business manager, Johnnie White; treasurer, Edward Bell. The highlight of this year was our Junior-Senior Prom, a Mexican Fiesta, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Many new clubs were organized this year. The Juniors took advantage of this, became members and held many offices. The Crown and Sceptre was honored with such members as Kay Franklin, Eva Jones, Ann Sawyer and William Gavin. Ida Dove, Dorothea Kearney, and Omega Nixon were encircled by the Tri-Hi-Y. Our brother club, the Hi-Y, initiated Johnnie White, Dennis Rodgers, Ernest Spicer, James Fonville, Samuel Whitehurst, Horace Nesbit and Elbert Coleman. Both of the literary organizations enveloped new members into their circles. The Planet had William Gavin, Deliah Bunting, Henry Mack and Edward Bell. The Warrior staff carried over some of its members from the past year and added even more. They were Kay Franklin, Ann Sawyer and Elbert Coleman. Johnnie White, Henry Mack, William Gavin, Dorothea Kearney, Lillie Coleman, Cicero Bynum, Deliah Bunting, Deloris Gibbs, William Hawkins, James Simmons and William Simmons joined the ranks of the F. T. A. A newly organized group N. C. S. I. O. gained the membership of Linward Brown, Edward Mendes, Alvin Blount, Dennis Rodgers, Nathaniel Simmons, Willie Best, Reuben Best, and Ernest Collins. Janicesteen Phillips, James Allen, Omega Nixon, Minnie Hickman, Alvin Blount, Edward Mendes, James Simmons, Johnnie White, Alphonso Moore and Ernest Spicer became members of the Debating team. Music could be heard floating through the halls of Barber High with the great voices, Dorothea Kearney, Ida Dove, Ann Sawyer, Kay Franklin, Janet White and Omega Nixon, who were members of the J. T. Barber Chorus. In a new school, the student council was really needed with the juniors holding all the important offices. New members were Kay Franklin, William Gavin, Janicesteen Phillips, Omega Nixon, Yvonne Gould, Doris Miller, James Simmons, Ann Sawyer and Ida Dove. Another new club formed was the Commercial Club. Its members consisted of Delores Gibbs, Christine Fon¬ ville, Jessie Chapman, Barbara Green, Mary Matthews, Lillie Coleman, and Mary Hill. The Juniors really went out for athletics. On the football squad were Edward Bell, Samuel Whitehurst, Walter Bellamy, James Simmons, Bennie Thompson, William Harvey, Reuben Best, George E. Brown, and George A. Brown. Playing basketball were Carolyn Best, Edward Bell, and Walter Bellamy. Bellamy was elected to the All-State Team. Thus ended our third act under the leadership of Mrs. D. P. Jenkins, Mrs. L. B. Smith and Mrs. M. B. Dan- yus. Our Senior year proved to be one of great deeds. Our football team won the N. C. A. A. A. Championship with all the mighty seniors. Two of the seniors, Walter Bellamy and Edward Mendes, were elected to play in the Shrine Bowl All-Star Game. In addition, the Warrior got its first girl editor-in-chief, Kay Franklin. Our last drama has been a tough pull; we have lost many classmates along the way, but we who have braved the battle, feel it was well worth our while. We have our advisors, Mrs. D. P. Jenkins, Mrs. M. B. Danyus, and Mrs. L. B. Smith, to thank for standing by us all the way and they can rest well-assured that their sleepless nights here have not been in vain and we have profited by all our mistakes.

BARBER FAREWELL TUNE: Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight Time draws nigh and we must part, From true friends dear to our hearts, But as we leave dear Barber high, We the seniors of Barber High, Extend to you our last good-by. Though we regret it our time has come, To call our year ' s work done. Our thoughts return to days gone by. Parents, teachers and principal, too, You have done the best you could do, Remember your efforts have not been in vain But instead to us have been a gain. Though we will miss you with all our heart. This is the day we ' ve worked for from the start. Now that our dreams have all come true, We say good-by to you. Our parting thoughts are glad indeed For these few years have met our needs, For the challenging world we now must face With intelligence to bring credit to our race. CHORUS: Well its been four long years of working. But finally we made it through. Our parents, teachers, and Principal, Did the best they knew how to do. Ann E. Sawyer Kay P. Franklin (xj o ors The time for parting is very near, Into the world, we go from here. Though we are going our hopes are high, Good-by Barber, good-by. Blue and White James E. Simmons James F.
