THE 1949 WARRENTONIAN VOLUME III Ann Turner Editor-in-Chief Dorothy Walters Faculty Adviser Published by THE SENIOR CLASS John Graham High School Warrenton, North Carolina Peggy May Business Manager 2 Dedication ELIZABETH ALLEN It is our privilege and pleasure to dedicate this volume of the Warrentonian to Miss Elizabeth Allen, kind, understanding and beloved teacher, who has inspired us to maintain high standards of charac- ter and scholarship. 3 Faculty 4 Mascots Betsy Byrd Bobbitt George Pittard Motto: The ladder of success leads upward and onward. Colors: Blue and White Flower: Red Rose Seniors Peggy May President Annie Lou James Vice-President Jean House Secretary Henry Read Treasurer CLASS POEM Seniors ! Classmates ! The time has come When friends and foes must part. For twelve long years we ' ve worked and played, And, thus we got our start. Our parents and teachers to us have meant More than our thanks can express, And for their never ending services We owe our every success. And to this dear old school of ours And the carefree days spent here, Our thoughts will turn in the coming years, And many will shed a tear. These are but a few who along the way Have given a helping hand To make possible for each of us The opportunities that education commands. Graduation, to some, is a time for tears And others think it ' s fun, But it really is a time to think For life has just begun ! The road of life is far from easy. It ' s discouraging, weary, and long But life to others will be more cheerful If we travel with a smile and a song. So strive and seek to do your best In all the trials and strife And you ' ll be rewarded when you reach That Land of Perfect Life! Annie Lou James.

Class History In September, 1945, with high hopes and aims we entered high school as green-horns. Aiding us in adjusting ourselves to the many new problems which arose were our two homeroom teachers, Miss Lassiter and Miss Person. Heretofore we had been one big happy family, but now with chang- ing classes and all the excitement of several boys going out for athletics, the family began to break up. Summer vacation over, we again turned suntanned faces to books and studies. Now we were sophomores. Though smaller in number we knew the ropes, and coasted gaily through the year under the direction of Miss Person and Miss Odom. In the latter part of the winter and early spring several girls left our family circle to marry. Nineteen forty-seven ! High school now had under its roof 25 Juniors who were great busybodies. We were all a ' ditter over the Junior-Senior Banquet which we gave on May 7. Our family was a busy one now with its many club members. We had our thumbs in the Seer and Annual pies and were feeling most important. Our sponsors, Miss Harris and Miss Rogers, helped us iron out our details while we kept one eye on the Seniors. Dignified Seniors, twenty-five strong, we entered school September, 1948. This, our last year at school, we experienced the strange feeling of happiness and remorse, for in nine short months we would say farewell to friends and dear old John Graham, which for twelve years had housed and watched us grow. Class rings and such, with our various plans for the future, kept us starry-eyed and dreamy. To Miss Walters, our Senior sponsor, and all the teachers, we thank you for leading us ever forward. Veni, vidi ? vici. Truly, we came, we saw, we conquered, and stepped forth onto the road of life as proud, well adjusted adults. Our problems have not been few. Now we are better citizens because of you, John Graham.

Your FORD Dealer WARRENTON, NORTH CAROLINA D, uring the next six years, half a million teach- ing positions will be available in the United States. Thousands of men and women are needed to replace inadequately prepared teach- ers now in the schools, to fill the vacancies caused by normal turnover, and to meet the needs of the five million additional children born during wartime. There is a need for ele- mentary and high school teachers, college in- structors, principals, superintendents, and edu- cational specialists of every kind. Now you know the law of supply and de- mand. When your kind of training and ability are needed, offers for it are made more and more attractive. That is what ' s happening in the teaching pro- fession. Many communities are taking steps to improve their local school conditions — some are granting salary increases — North Carolina has established a definite minimum salary schedule for teachers. The ability to teach is a special gift, a valued talent, and no profession provides greater per- sonal satisfaction than teaching. If you are a born teacher — make your decision now to join this honored profession. For Our Teach- ers Mold Our Nation ' s Future, and America ' s future has need of you.
