As Old Jasper Hi began a new semester in the fall of '51, we were ready to be recognized as freshmen. Mr. Myron Harris, basketball coach, was our teacher. The class enroll- ment was twenty. Charles Daly and Lola Dawson entered our class during our sophomore year. At the half we lost Harold Johnson and James Hare. Mrs. McDwean, our teacher, accompanied us on a trip enjoyed by all to Swansboro. Near the end of the year a classmate, Charles Daly, took leave. Some of us had the privilege of attending the Junior-Senior Banquet. As juniors we took on the responsibility of the Junior- Senior Banquet. The Banquet was held in our new lunchroom with the dance at the Woman's Club in New Bern. During the year we lost three of our students, Jimmy Howell, Kenneth Daly, and Eva Riggs Smith. Mrs. Duncan our teacher helped with our Junior play. What senior would forget the grand time that was had while giving the play, The Funny Brats, ” which was a success. This being our senior year we eagerly look forward to our Junior-Senior Banquet and the long-awaited Commencement. The sixteen of us that are left have been industriously work- ing on our annual and hope it will be a success because of the wonderful help of our advisor, Mrs. D. T. Ainsworth. We have planned a trip to East Carolina in Greenville in April in order to get a touch of college life and to see what it has to offer us. Historian

TViU We, the class of 1955, being of unsound mind and body and possessed with faulty reasoning nevertheless declare it our legal right to bequeath the following persons these articles: To the faculty, we leave a period of undisturbed peace and happiness. We think they will be happy just because we have accomplished this feat of graduation. We believe that we had them guessing about this at times. To all underclassmen, we leave this thought, Neglect not the gift that lies within thee, with sincere hopes that they will apply themselves to their respective talents to the best of their ability. To the members of the classes mentioned here, we, the seniors, bequeath the following: I, Barbara Kornegay, leave my ability to get a husband and continue to get good grades in school to anyone who has the nerve to do it. I, Marie Register, leave my ability to get a sailor to Irene Speight. I, Joann Morton, leave my sunny smile and friendly ways to Lucille Adams. I, Louise Duncan, leave my physics book on the Bunsen burner turned full blast. I, Adelheid Treschan, leave my German accent to my brother Helmut Treschan. I, Frankie Williams, leave all these bootiful women—but I shall return! I, Charlie Slaughter, leave my piggish ways to any hoggish junior. I, Dick Grady, leave my brains to Jack French. I, Alfred Creampuff Sutton, leave my dusty, ragged, good ole ”31” to Wootie. I, Barbara Daughtery, leave my willingness to clean rooms to anyone who takes the job. I, Betsy Riggs, leave my ability to have fighting pajama parties to the good ole gang I'm leaving at Jasper Hi. I, Sara Sugg, leave my hi-top socks to Bobby Snitcher Hodnett with the hope they don't cause much confusion. I, Audrey Hardison, leave my ability to play ball and make excellent grades to Elizabeth Hopewell hoping she will do the same. I, Janice Simpson, leave my Marilyn Monroe hair style to Mr. Harris to have on the bow of his boat, The Down Easter, (Hope the sea gulls like it.)
