In this publication the class portrays the life they have lived during their high school days. Within the past four years, we have made footprints around the campusg footprints that signify the steps to success. Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time . From this quotation of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, we take our theme, Footprints On The Sands Of Time . 1' David Bunch , Editor M X X 1 0 EN Gi lc ut 1 Uv LU ff JU H1 U X f -TX 1 . -AD 'fb 7 J 'f at b 1 X ml JJ NJ C ff' hlfflfllilll MISS E.

Turner and Miss Elsie L. Howell. f f 1 1 N ff X Gggf Principal' Message Basic in the theory of education is the principle which provides for individual growth. It is assumed that the best results of education are obtained when the needs of the individual are more completely satisfied, The individual initiative of the class of 1954 supervised by the thoughtful, patient direction of the class sponsors is an example of the theory of individual development. I congratulate the class of 1954 on presenting the mes- sage of the school to our parents and friends in the form of this yearbook, and trust that the motto of the school, C Every Child a Chance J will be the guiding principle of future individual achievement of the class of 1954.

Between life and death various things may happen, There may be joy and sorrow, health and wealth, understandings and misunderstandings, achievements and failures, but in spite of all these things, if there is a goal in view, there is need to travel on. This is what we, the class of 1954, had to face when we entered high school at the Johnston County Training School on August 28, 1950. We students of more than a hundred, made up the freshman class. We realized that all our moments at the Training School would not be happy. Sadness, disappointments and obstacles played a part in our high school life as well as moments of joy, pleasure and contentment. With some assistance from our handbooks the class was organized, Those who were chosen to lead the class were, President, Katie Dodd, Vice President, Margaret Anderson, Secretary, Helen Watson, Assistant Secretary, Katie Evans, Treasurer, David Bunch and our advisors were, Mrs. Mamie Turner, Misses Elsie Howell and Hattie Briley. During the year our class was very active in participating in the school organizations and activities. In the Student Council, Helen Watson held the office as secretary, Mildred McNeil, Assistant Secretary, and Katie Dodd, Treasurer. Knowing that we had a lot to face, we decide to pay our gift to the school which was a two way communication system. Later in the spring to end the year of our good school freshman days, we cou1dn't forget an affair, The Cotton Ball . With such good honors we were proud to know that Margaret Anderson's name appeared on the Award List for maintaining the highest scholastic average throughout the year. Beginning a new year as Sophomores, we felt we were full members of the J . C. T. S, family. We organized having the following officers, President, Katie Dodd, Vice President, Margaret Anderson, Secretary, Helen Watson, Assistant Secretary, Joyce Frazier, Treasurer, David Bunch, and our same advisors. This year our greatest aim was to complete the payment on our gift to the school. We sponsored many activities for this cause. The one considered the most important was the Miss America contest. Here the charming young ladies coming from all divisons of the Training School family participated, but Miss J oyce Frazier, a sophomore, won because of that working desire she had to bring her on top with the highest amount of money.. Our class would be considered as an all-round class. Several students belonging to the Honor Society, some still held offices in the Student Council, some were basketball players, and were members of various activities and organizations. As a custom from Freshman days, we gave a semi-formal affair on March 28, 1952, The Flamingo Ball . Just as the Cotton Ball , it left happy memories-and probably more because of our increased knowledge to appreciate more. Finally this school year ended with Margaret Anderson again, one of our highest honored students to be proud of. Don't think she was the only one, we were fortune enough to have others, namely, Helen Watson, David Bunch, Cleon Arrington, Grace Atkinson, Katie Dodd and Kenneth Carroll. Returning in the year of 1953, we felt that we had only gone half way. Now facing larger responsibilities. Getting closer to our final year, we started this year with the following officers, President, Katie Doddg Vice President, David Bunch, Secretary, Mildred McNeilg Assistant Secretary, Mable Evansg Treasurer, Grace Atkinson, Bussiness Manager, Kenneth Carroll, and our same advisors. Quite a few unfriendly problems met us, but we were able to solve them with the help of our advisors. We were successful in boasting our winning the Student Countil election, The following officers were elected: President, David Bunch, Vice President, Cleon Arrington, Assistant Secretary, Lucy Penny. They along with our class representives achieved many things in the council. The biggest affair for this year as you can imagine was our prom, centered around Moon- light and Roses . It was a fabulous and exciting night, Probably some lookers-on thought they were Alice in Wonder Land on that night, April 29, 1953. It was a pleasure and desire to enter- tain the Seniors with such an tmforgettable night. On and on throughout this year, we can say it was of disappointments and enjoyments, but at last it ended toog of course, we were happy to have Grace Atkinson and David Bunch to exhibit their lovely voices during the Senior graduation exceriseg Margaret Anderson and Helen Watson to march in front of the Seniors as Valedictorian and Salutatorian of 1954. Surely labors for that year were not in vain. As we boarded the last train which would take us to our destination, we endeavored to make this last year a final impression upon the history of Johnston County Training School. The first part of this year was spent in making academic arrangements, to avoid last minute disappointments, and in planning our programs as a whole for the year. We had no doubt that we would be successful wider the leadeship of Mrs, M. L. Turner and Miss E. L. Howell. We organized having the following officers, President, Katie Dodd, Vice President, Grace Atkinson, Secretary, Maxine McRae, Assistant Secretary, Alean Lee, Treasurer, David Bunch, and Business Manager, Cleon Arrington. We have made another page in the history of Johnston County Training School, we have served our role in this great family and now: Margaret Anderson, Miss J. C. T. S. of '54, Edna Dublin, Mable Evans, and Ernest Sanders have been noted for their basketball ability since their Freshman year. David Bunch, Marion Stephens, Jean Carter, Ernest Sanders, and Joyce Frazier have been noted for their position in the band since their Freshman yearg Grace Atkinson an outstanding soloist. Much to our disappointment, Cleon Arrington was defeated by a junior while seeking the office as president of the Student Council, but of course Grace Atkinson was elected as Vice President of the Student Council. Considering all these years with its many achievements, surely we are able to face life's problems as housekeepers, or College graduates, with asufficient knowledge of educational training. lf KT f -G z,-I-if u f ff f X ' ws. Historian ------ Helen Watson X at CLASS PROPHECY l964! It was ten years ago when we were graduated from the Johnston County Training School. I, Margaret Anderson, along with some ofmyco-workers at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, decided to pool our resources to help the Class National Secretary, Maxine McRae, locate our other classmates for our first class reunion, From the Raleigh-Durham Airport, we flew to Detroit, Michigan to be the houseguest of Mrs. Alice George, Here in the suburban section of the Motor City, on a broad tree-lined avenue, is the beautifully designed home of the Georges. I was sure this was the house for I knew the address and I recognized Lando . . . but the little girl! All of us went in, and found Alice busy preparing a delicious dinner, Itold her our plans for contacting our classmates, As we ate the very tasteful dinner fAlice has finally learned to cookj she told us quite a bit about some of our classmates with whom she has been corresponding. Ernest Sanders is the director ofphysical education at the Dunbar High School in Washington, D,C. He told us where we could find Helen Watson, And who could have been better informed about her whereabouts ? He even took the initiative to take us to the University of Pennsylvania where she is employed as a labortory technician. Unexpectedly we saw David Bunch who is an x-ray technician. Surprisingly but true, they had just returned from attending a wedding. Guess who? . . . why Katie Dodd, formerly, and Carlene Williams! We wanted to send best wishes to them before they left for their honeymoon. We left immediately for the reception at the Shady Rest Country Club on Ridge and Vine Avenues. We enjoyed every minute at the reception. Iwas fatigued and restless. We all traveled over to Hotel Capitol which is managed by Mr. John Cole and his assistant, Mr. John Parker. Relaxing with the New York Times, edited by Elnora Eason and Willie Bell, Inoticed that the Big Show was scheduled at the Blue Gardenia which is owned and operated by the Lofton Brothers. Starring at the Blue Gardenia, were Miss Doris Jean Carter, Professional dancer, and the Misses Grace Atkinson wnd Elsie Ferrell as BigShow's best singers. Extra feature was Eugene Richardson, comedian. After spending a peaceful day at Hotel Capitol, and enjoying such splendid hospitality, I was anxious to take in the Big Show of '64! On my way over to the Big Show it was interesting to note that Raymond Avery, Kenneth Carroll and Ralph Watson had gone into a bus Line corporation together. Just as the bus came to asudden stop, I rose to see what was happening, We were involved in an accident! When the doctor, nurse and ambulance came, I was in for a big surprise. Here were several of my school chums. Nurses, Edna Rose Dublin, Marion Stephens and Otelia Farmer. The man in white was none other than Dr, Cleon Arrington. By this timelhad faintedl And recovering, ldis- covered that the F.B.I. had sent over one of its very best men of investigation ------ Benjamin Sanders. I learned that a very young fellow died from the accident. Mortician Edward Hinton had taken him to Hinton and Allen Funeral Home on Amsterdam Avenue and 42nd Street. I went to La Vie en Rose for a relief from all of the excitement of that day, I was astonished to see Annie Rose Peacock selling tickets, but I was knocked off my feet when I got inside!! Gosh! The class of '54 must have decided to have its reunion at La Vie en Rose. Among the many ushers, were Bernice Kornegy, Dorothy Vinson, Saundra Moore and Geraldine Cox.Strangely enough, Inez Eason was modeling one of those fabulous gowns I often heard her talk about in '54, Joyce Frazier was performing one of those crazy dances she learned under Mr. Avery. Mildred McNeill was modeling one of those Parisian Bobs styled by Lucy Penny, The whole performance was super delirious!!! I found out from Joyce Frazier that Norvel Watson was manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers and incidently, a game was scheduled with the Phillies for the very next day. The following day, I learned that Edward Rodgers had taken Jackie Robinson's position. How nice! After the game, we conversed and he told me that Ira Williams was Middleweight Champion of '64, The game was enjoyed and several of my classmates attended. Joyce Simms and Lois Bizell who had been intimate friends during our 'High School Daze', were now in business together. Lois told me that Marion William was still in Smithfield with her parents. Joyce informed me that there had been rumor of a secret marriage between Helen Watson and Ernest Sanders. Ernest was persis- tent wasn't he? I had to hurry off and leave Lois and Joyce. When my co-workers and I reached Virginia, we stopped and bought food and a newspaper. I read that Joseph Avery had been wounded in the Russian War and was in the Navy Hospital in Portsmouth of which Bernard Thorne and Angenette Williams were head. We traveled over to see Joseph and found him doing nicelyg even planned to attend the reunion. Alean Lee was Head of the English Department at Virginia State College, She said that Alonzo McLean had resigned as Head of the social studies department and Flora Lyrm and Gertrude Badgett were trying out for this position. Gee! This required more work than we thought, Yet we did enjoy the trip, All of us were ready to return home, We had to get gas and haveour oil checked. Guess who serviced us ? The Bradley's Service Station! Arriving in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, I found that the National Baptist Convention was meeting there. Mildred Williams and Louise Hobbs were guest speakers. When I got home that night, l had a letter from one of my school chums,Helen Vinson telling me she had recently been accepted to theposition of supervisor of elementary schools along with lone Merritt in Florida. She also stated that Estell Kimbole, Doreatha Penny and AnnieHaleyhad opened up somekind of a manufacturing plant. After forwarding the information we had gathered to the National Secretary, Maxine McRae, we Looked forward with great anticipation, for a happy reunion!
