This has been a monumental task, fraught with frustations and demanding continuous and arduous toil on the parts of many people. Ther : have been heartaches and headaches, frazzled nerves and frayed tempers, but, in spite of all this, the task was fina ' ly finished. As we look at the finished product, we have a feeling of pride in what, we hope, is a job well done. This is our very first effort. We are proud of it.

Dudley High School, in the city of Greensboro, County of Guilford and State of North Carolina, being of full age, average intelligence and for four years members of this great institution, do hereby publish and commend to be executed this our 1st Will and Testimony. To our principal and teachers who have worked so diligently with us, we leave our best wishes and a very fond farewell. We shall strive to prove your efforts were not spent in vain. To the juniors, we bequeath our coveted positions on the honor-roll and in all student activities and clubs. We hope that you will do your best to maintain these places. We are also very happy to leave with you our front seats in the auditorium, our lockers on the first floor, and two dozen discarded notebooks. And to the sophomores, the most recent addition to the Dudley family, we leave the hope that you will take ad vantage of the many opportunities that are offered to you here at Dudley, and that you will prove to be a most out-standing graduating class in 1959. In addition to the above legacies, some individual members of the graduating class wish to make the fol¬ lowing dispensations of their personal possession: Kay Frances Henry wills to the new Miss Dudley High” a successful reign. To Frances Croft, Blanche Taylor leaves a pair of stilts and a microphone so that she can be seen and heard. Franklyn Cheek bequeaths to the students and teach¬ ers peace and quiet during the coming year. We know that this can be achieved since Franklyn is leaving. To next year’s senior English classes Bettye Summers leaves a walking dictionary and a book of examinations. Leon Goolsby leaves David Peay his senior authority around the school. Juanita Tatum leaves to Joel Caldwell a voice, so he may be heard when the group sings. To Emma Whitsett and Mary Wright, Olivia Alston bequeaths a pair of boxing gloves. Now girls you can really battle it out. Rudolph Beasley wills Freddie Neal his height so that he can dunk” a ball as well as palm” if. Lola Campbell leaves Willie Nichols a book containing 180 jokes so that every day of the school year Willie can crack a joke that is really funny. Harvey Ramseur bequeaths to the entire football team a small part of his famous go power.” To Delores Blackman, Jo Ann hopes the fertilizer will prove effective. To Serdina Slade, Pauline Boyd wills a microphone. We hope this will help you to tone your voice down Serdina. Mary Ella Caldwell leaves a ton of mathematical knowledge and skills to the underclassmen. Lonnie Ingram wills to Vernon McRae a voice. Ver¬ non may now sing like Johnny Ray without too much effort. To David Richmond and Richard Daye, Modesteen Thompson bequeaths a big block of ice. Please use this as a reminder, boys. You must hold your temper. Donald Jones wills to Andrew Gill and Freddie Neal the First National Bank. Donald hopes that these boys will have no monetary problems in the future. To Ann Bailey, Mary Peay wills a supply of shoes so that her feet won’t freeze in those ballerinas. John Rhodes bequeaths to Jo Ann Simpson a book entitled Ten Easy Steps To Dancing”. Wilhelmina Thomas leaves Vivian Johnson her place on the patrol force. To Elreece Hedrick, Martha McLeod wills a stand in the cafeteria. Now Elreese you will never have to rush at meal-time. Kenneth Wall bequeaths to Willie Wilson a steady girl friend so that he can stop beating around the bush.” Elizabeth Harris wishes success to all students who take Physics next year. And finally, to the entire Dudley Family, we hope that these tokens will serve as tiny symbols of our affection for you. Hereto we do affix our hand and seal this seven¬ teenth day of May in the year of our graduation, 1957. 22 Class History 1957 The setting is Dudley High School. The play—a new one covering a span of four years, and entited “The History of the Class of 1957.” Tryouts for leading parts were held before the Director, Dr. J. A. Tarpley and his production staff in session in the auditorium, Sep¬ tember 3, 1953. Who would be the stars? Who would mane up the supporting cast? As much as we hated to think of it, some would become disgusted with their parts and quit the play. Enthusiasm ran high and aspirations were great as we assembled that morning to begin the Freshman act of our play. First, the preliminaries had to be taken care of: familiarizing ourselves with the scenery, discovering all the properties and learning the variety of parts which were to be portrayed. In the early try-outs, Mary Doggett, Carolyn Rus¬ sell, Claudette Graves, Modesteen Thompson and Caleb Carmichael distinguished themselves in scholas¬ tic roles by appearing high on the honor rolls. One of the production staff members, Mr. Fureron was pleased with the athletic potential of some of the newer playmakers. Harvey ‘ Boon Dock” Ramseur was already blooming on the gridiron. Charles James and Rudolph Beasley, though they were very awkward and inexperienced, showed promise of becoming the basket¬ ball stars of the future. For example, Coach Fureron asked Charles James to do a “lay-up”. He promptly got down on his back and lay up against the wall. Paul Carvana was fast becoming the Rudolph Valen¬ tino of our production. It was once said that he was so sweet that when he went to class and pulled out his class assignment from his pocket, sugar wasted all over the floor. Verdie Wilkes, Joanne Simmons and E izabeth Har¬ ris exhibited nice talents when they did the supporting parts in the May Day Festivities for that year. As the curtains closed on our first act, we were better acquainted with our roles. After three months intermission we came back to the stage and began the sophomore act. A the play continued we found ourselves aware of the need for more participants. Students from other schools soon filled these positions. They joined our group offering more talents than we . ould ever have dreamed of. Again some of our actors showed scholas¬ tic abilities. Why, John McLaughlin led the honor roll “once.” Along with Ramseur, John Hughes, William Bell, Marshall Bennett, Robert Young, and several others, Dudley was able to win over Atkins High School at our Homecoming game. Cheering the boys along were Verdie Wilkes and Juanita Tatum, the only two sopho¬ mores on the squad. Adam Johnson. Phillip Cole, Jerome McAdoo, Pat Hargraves and Lorenza Blackwell joined the other basketball stars. “The Bishop’s Mantle,” the Thespians production was high-lighted by the superb acting of Franklyn Cheek, Catherine Bruner, Catherine Hinson, Mary Ton¬ kins and Lazelle Free. Catherine Bruner walked away with the best-supporting actress award when the mighty Dudley took its one-act play to Raleigh, N. C. The Panther’s Claw staff and the mixed chorus wel¬ comed several new members. Our play went on and on with ease until it was time for our second inter¬ mission. As the curtain rose on our third act, the actors and actresses were becoming accustomed to their parts and showed signs of sophistication. This was exemplified by James “Hey Hey” Hagins. On the first day of school though wearing his usual bib overalls, he had added a dress shirt and tie in the place of his old T-shirt;, a sport coat in place of his denim jacket and some fancy shades. Soon everyone began to settle down to the tasks that lay ahead. The National Honor Society and the Crown and Sceptre Club harvested the cream of the crop. The Homecoming event was quite exciting that year, with Elizabeth Harris, a junior, serving as the maid of honor to “Miss Homecoming” and Robert Young, Charles James, William Bell and Harvey Ramseur assisting in all those touchdowns Dudley made. Dudley had one of the best basketball scenes Coach Fureron had ever witnessed. The team made up mostly of juniors were runners-up for the state championship. Not on’y did we find outstanding participants in scholastics and sports, but in other areas as we ' l. Wal¬ ter Johnson placed the stellar role in “Green Shutters,” the fall produc ' ion of the Thespians. Catherine Bruner, Jerome Gaither and Lazelle Free a’so shared in the glory. Playing the greatest scene of her role, Blanche Taylor won first prize in the Omega Talent Hunt, for her splendid performance as a pianist. Being a good actor in the scene Trowel Trade, Collie Jones won first prize in the state trade contest. Richard “Farm Boy” Bow’ing during his years at Dudley proved him¬ self to be quite a student in agriculture. That year the finest campaign for “Miss Dudley High” was held. Exciting and interesting, it yielded, the charming and beautiful Kay Frances Henry as “Miss Dudley High” for 56-57. Winning by whopping majority, Kay really possessed the Magic Touch as was sung by the popular Varios. The Patrol Force, one of the largest ard most neces¬ sary organizations of the school began to canvas our class for future patrols. Some of the students possessed the qualities to become the leaders of the patrol. La¬ zelle Free was elected Chief, while David Dansby, Wal¬ ter Johnson, John McLaughlin, Betty Summers and Barbara Mebane were elected as his assistants. The ending of our junior act was the assigning over of the responsibi’ities of the school to us. The last intermission was filled with preparatory work for the great and final act, the senior act. On stage waiting for their final cue were one hun¬ dred and fifty three seasoned veterans who were wait¬ ing with utmost enthusiasm and that good ole Dudley “eager beaver” spirit. In the forefront stood the main characters of this production, ready to lead the show down the road to glory in the last act. There were Annie Suber and Barbara Miley co-editors of the Panthers Claw; Henrietta Wrliams and Green Lee Burge, who could show Gabriel a thing or two about blowing and Lyvonne McAdoo, Barbara Morton, Lola Campbell, and Henry Sharpe, whose melodious voices were to make a smash hit with the Mixed Chorus. There were “Squatty” Waddell and John Hughes, whose exploits on the football field were made possi¬ ble because they learned about M. A. (Mechanical Ad¬ vantage) in Physics. The actors this year were not only versatile but aggressive for they edited the first yearbook published since the beginning of the Dudley theatre. There was one thing that cou ' d be said about these playmakers—they were very thrifty, a trait that was 23 Class History 1957 (Continued) seldom characteristic of people, their age. This was brought out in a conversation between two members during the beginning of the senior act. John: “Walter, did you know that Franklyn ran be¬ hind the bus every morning to save fifteen cents? Waller: “Well, if he wanted to save money why didn ' t he run behind a taxi and save sixty cents.” Much of the success in this act was brought about by an efficient prompter, Mrs. A. T. Solomon, who was always handy with the cue, if someone appeared to be faltering. In closing our p’ay our chorus, as in Sophooles’s Antigone, gave a summary of our last act. He reminded us of what a beautiful “Miss Homecoming” Shirley Taylor had been, a good leader David Dansby had proved to be, how sweet Kay Henry had been as “Miss Dudley High. He reminded us of the way Ramseur, James and Cole had led us in athletics, how Jerry Watkins had made us laugh, what a beautiful coup e Maurice Drake and Juanita Tatum had made as they danced to the “Blue Danube,” how Albert Little and Caleb Carmichael had proved to be the new Beau Brummels, and last how Norva Simms had captivated us with her stunning beauty. When asked what they were leaving the school to remember them by, one of the leading characters, Franklyn Cheek, stepped forward, and speaking in his usual southern dialect said, “I believe we’s gwine leave d’em peace and quiet.” Claudette Graves, Chairman John McLaughlin Walter Johnson Mary Doggett 24 JUNIORS JUNIOR CLASSES EXECUTVIE OFFICERS Adamson, Lois Craven, Carolyn Croft, Frances Donnell, Nancy Florence, Jacqueline Freeman, Geraldine Fuller, Ernestine Gary, Delores Gilbert, Jimmy Flarrington, Thomas Harriston, Harold Hickman, Frances Johnson, Nancy Johnson, Vivian Little, Norman Lyons, Iris McAdoo, Geraldine Mobley, Richard Morehead, Edith Owens, Betty Robinson, Bernard Sapp, Dwight Simpson, Joan Stewart, Alphonzo Thompson, George Winford, Arthur Wright, Agnes 26 SOPHOMORE CLASSES PRESIDENTS Bailey, Franklin Blair, Ezell Dearman, Terry Hill, Kay McDowett, Barbara Pendergast, Alycia Richmond, David Ruffin, Juanita Tatum, Berkley Warren, Alice 27 FRESHMEN FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS President _ Frederika Smith Vice President _ Andrew Johnson Secretary _ Naomi Garrett Assistant Secretary _ Thomas Brown Treasurer _ Barbara Flarris 28 ACTIVITIES m “Miss Dudley High” “Miss Homecoming” Th: honor of being the 195 6-1957 Miss Homecoming has helped to make my senior year at Dudley the happiest of my life.

It is my hope that the faculty and students at Dudley High School will always hold the banner high. Reigning as your Miss Dudley High” has been the highest honor that could have been bestowed upon me. I have tried in my meek and humble way to up-hold the standards set by former students who have held the title of Miss Dudley High.” To Dr. Tarpley, the faculty, and my fellow classmates I wish to express my gratitude for making my junior and sen¬ ior years the most enjoyable ones of my school career. 1 shall forever remember my Alma Mater.” 30 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The Dudley Chapter of the National Honor Society has as it’s objectives that of creating an enthusiasm for schol¬ arship, stimulating a desire to render service, promoting worthy leadership and encouraging the development of char¬ acter in students of the Dudley High School.

Furcron, Athletic Director Basketball Coach, Assistant Football Coach Assitant Track Coach We are striving for the top in our Health, Physical Education and Athletic Program. With the increased interest shown by our students and patrons and wth added physical facilities in the way of plant and equip¬ ment we are planning for the best program in this section of the country. We are immensely proud of the performance of our athletes over the past years in that they have shown tremendous improvement in mastering the fundamentals and techniques of motor skills. To the outgoing graduates we extend the heartiest and most sincere wishes for continued success in the various walks of life as well as in athletic endeavors. Best wishes to all of you. C. L. Bradley Head Football Coach The Dudley football team, with practically all inexperienced play¬ ers did a remarkable job last year. This was the first year of real com¬ petition for most of the players on our team. However, with the ma¬ jority of them returning for the 1957-58 season, we can expect a much improved team. W. N. Boyers, Track Coach Assistant Football Coach Assistant Basketball Coach The teams’ won and lost record for the year 19 56-57 was commend¬ able and with a little more desire and determination who knows to what heights they may reach in 1957-58. 50 ATHLETICS It has been a pleasure to keep the financial rec¬ ords for the Dudley Ath¬ letic Association. I hope for each department con¬ tinued success. M. C. Maise T reasurer N. V. Macomson T ransportation Whether the journey be far or near, by day or night, or in rain or snow, we plan to arrive on sched¬ ule. We are proud to re¬ port no accidents or in¬ jury so far. C. A. Grant Business Manager The Dudley manage¬ ment is proud of its ath¬ letic teams. The caliber of coaching and team person¬ nel has afforded Dudley a record which we are ex¬ tremely happy to exhibit. Working with athletics in the capacity of Director of Publicity has been a thrill and was most en¬ joyable, says Mr. G. W. Gant. He is always on hand for eyery game; at home or away. He’s most cooperative. G. W. Gant Publicity Director G. E. Dye Cheerleaders L Keeping up the athletic teams’ morale is most im¬ portant. I have great faith in our boys. The cheer¬ leaders and I will always be on hand whenever they need us.

Second row: Norman Hoyle, Waldo Hargraves, Willie Young,James Young, Roland Caldwell, Robert Bracken, Julius Moore., Michael Hargraves, and Donald Jones, Senior Manager. Third row: Robert Harrison, Dallas Baldwin, Thomas Whiteside, Reginald Martin, Clarence Patterson, Robert Wins¬ ton, Earl Lindsay, Robert Montgomery, Richard Days, Marvin Montgomery, George Gant, Jr., and James Brock. Fourth row: Charles James, Leon Goolsby, Matthew Smith, and Bobby Smith. The Dudley Panthers were hard hit by gradu¬ ation last season but managed a 4-3 season with wins over Reidsville, West Charlotte, Kinston, and Gastonia, while losing to Carver, Atkins, and High Point, the Western Champions. The passing combination of James Young to Richard Daye near the end of the season was the best the Panthers have produced in years. Graduating seniors include All-State Nathan¬ iel Brown and Harvey Ramseur, who saw action in the first Annua ' All-State Shrine Bowl, Wil¬ liam Bell, Charles James, Leon Goolsby, John Hughes, and Samuel Waddell. All-State Nate” Brown set a school record with a total of 123 3 yards gained; 751 rush¬ ing, 172 on passes and 3 00 yards on punt returns. In points, Brown scored 8 touch¬ downs and 12 extra points for a total of 60 points. 52 First row: Richard Summers, Norman Little, Freddie Neal, Adam Johnson, and Lazelle Free. Second row: W. J. Furcron, Norman Floyle, Phillip Cole, James Young, and Robert Young, Senior Manager. Third row: James Wright, Thomas Williamson, Charles James, and Richard Day. The Dudley cagers finished the season with a .500 won and lost record; it was rather difficult to replace Foots” Mar¬ tin on the board and shooting of James Pegeuse. Through spirit and teamwork the cagers captured the runner-up spot in the District Play-off. In the State Championship the Panthers were ousted in the quarter-finals. The JV’s, with a 12-5 record, gave an excellent account of themselves under the guidance of Mr. Boyers. We’ll need their assistance next season in that we are losing such stand¬ out players at Phillip Cole, Charles James and Adam Johnson. PHILLIP COLE All-State Phillip Cole, leading scorer for the Panthers, totaled 243 points on the season for an average of 14.3 per game.
