Class H istoty Now as our days at Middleburg High School are coming to an end, we, the Class of '50, want to look over our years together. These years have brought us great happiness--happiness which we shall never forget. It binds us with un- breakable ties to our school, our faculty, and to each other. On a bright sunny day in September of '37 four of our present class mem- bers started the long journey toward graduation. They were Peggy Breedlove, Pauline Kearson, John Reavis, and Alvin Ellington. Miss Frances Pittard start- ed us on our journey. We were taught the easy subjects, ‘treading, writing, and arithmetic’’. Finally our first year ended, and we found ourselves second grad- ers, with Miss Nancye White to steer us through the year. Eunice White joined us that year. We were not quite so timid that year. More subjects were added. We took part in our rhythm band that year. With flying colors, we entered the third grade to find Miss Thelma Duncan waiting for us as instructor and Maurice Fleming and Gill Duke joining our group. Again we took part in our rhythm band. Miss Bessie Atkinson led us on our journey around the world with a geogra- phy book in the fourth grade. Ann Best joined us that year. Because of an insufficient number of teachers the fifth grade had to be divid- ed. Miss Nannie Burt had half the grade and Miss Bessie Atkinson the other half. A new subject, history, was added. Miss Nannie Burt was on hand to greet us as we entered the seventh grade. We had a very prosperous year. Ferebee Fletcher joined us that year. As we plodded into the eighth grade, Miss Theta Jackson, our home-room teacher, was there to greet us. Tunstall Curtis, Joyce Mustain, Mary Cobb, and Ida Burdick came up from Drewry. Mary Sue Moore came to join us from Ox- ford Orphanage. That year our teachers were Miss Bernice Odom, Miss Willie Pritchard, and Miss Theta Jackson. During the first month of that year, we suf- fered much inconvenience because of our unfamiliarity with the rules and regu- lations. We were forever getting our classrooms mixed up and arriving late for class. Often, because of our tardiness and our talking, we received punishment. That year we took an exciting trip to Raleigh; Miss Jackson and Miss Pritchard were our chaperones. We had a wonderful time. CLASS HISTORY (Con't.) Freshmen! At last we had attained that title. And you can bet your life, we were proud of it. Mrs. G. W. Pernell was our home-room teacher. Miss Odom taught us health and English; Miss Pritchard, civics; Mr. E. O. Young, Jr., alge- bra; and Mr. G. B. Blum, agriculture. Some of us became very interested in basketball and for the first time made the team. With the coming of the next September we received a new name--Sophomores. We found Miss Barbara Rudd, who is now Mrs. George B. Blum, Jr., on hand to greet us as instructor and Kenneth Daeke and Barbara Bowling as new stu- dents. Mrs. Douglas McColl, Mr. Young, Miss Mary Jean Grose, and Mr. Blum taught us different subjects. It was nothing unusual to have one of us say ‘‘bon- jour’’ or ‘ merci’’ instead of ‘‘good morning”’ or ‘“ thank you'’, for the first time, we were taking French. We enjoyed the year very much. Mrs. Douglas McColl was our home-room teacher our Junior year. We were very happy to have Shirley Brame from Aycock to join us and Bertha Guerrant from Dabney. We were constantly seen flashing our hands in the air. Do you wonder why? We had our class rings. We gave a Junior play that year, too-- ‘“‘Jerry Gets A Fever’’. We were all proud of it and received many compliments on it. That year it was our turn to entertain the seniors at the banquet. This was the major event of the year. The banquet was held at the Middleburg Com- munity House which was lighted with blue and gold, the Senior Class colors. And now we come to the twelfth and greatest year in the history of our class. SENIORS!! With the gaining of this title we began to take ourselves more ser- iously than ever before. And when we say seriously we mean seriously. Mrs. McColl has been home-room teacher again this year. Under her direction we gave our senior play entitled ‘‘Sonny-Jane’'. We enjoyed it very much. The Juniors gave us a lovely banquet, which we also enjoyed very much. We now leave M.H.S., carrying these cherished memories along with us. These years have been dear to each of us. We shall be happy; but we shall feel sad at our departure. The first great milestone in our life has been completed.

As I walked along, I passed a gypsy camp and decided to ask the fortune teller to solve this problem for me. I entered her tent and told her my story, then she asked for the names of you, my classmates. I gave her your names and she told me the following about each of you ten years from now; Ann Best will be teaching Geometry at Zeb Vance; she will be as brilliant as ever. Eunice White will be a clerk in a certain grocery store in Vicksboro. Pauline Kearson is to be the wife of a prosperous farmer in Cokesbury. Shirley Brame will still be looking for a shorter route to Oxford, so she can see her James more often. Mary Sue Moore will be the wife of a country doctor, practicing nursing on the side. Peggy Breedlove is to be a private secretary for a big firm in Norfolk, Virginia, Ferebee Fletcher will be doing good with her own band in Middleburg High School. Gill Duke will be an agriculture instructor in Raleigh. Alvin Ellington is to be a patrolman with six counties to cover. John Reavis will be a city policeman helping Alvin with his work as a patrol- man. Kenneth Daeke will still be doing well, running his service station in Manson, Nie Tunstall Curtis is to be a stenographer in Macey's in New York City.

Realizing full well the nearing end of our school days at Middleburg High School, we do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To our principal, Mr. E. O. Young, Jr., we bequeath our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, and our heartiest gratitude. In an attempt at partial payment for all that he has done for us through the years, we make over to him, here and now, a heavy mortgage on our future in the Great Unknown beyond. It shall be his to watch every step of our upward and onward flitting, to note each trial, each attempt, each victory, each success, and honor that we may achieve in the arena of the world, and to accept for himself, as interest on our debt to him, every ounce of the praise, knowing that it is all due to his faith- ful instructions. To Mrs. McColl, a quieter English class. To Miss Mewborn, our best wishes that she will have much success in find- ing herself a man, with that new Chevrolet of hers. To Mr. White, a boys’ basketball team that wins every game. To Mrs. Blum, who has been sorely in need of more typewriters, we willa dozen new ones. To Mr. Blum, we leave a box of pencils, hoping that he won't have to charge the other boys rent for them. To dear old Middleburg High itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any apple cores, wads of gum, or notes we left around. We give and bequeath freely and without reservation to the Juniors, our rightful heirs and to their heirs, our most important and valuable properties, our nerve, our luck, our importance and our wisdom--all of which we possess in great quantities. To our good friends, the Sophomore Class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the Juniors. To the young Freshman Class, we will a generous portion of the vast amount of knowledge that we have acquired in our four years of high school. Being freshmen--green freshmen--they probably are in need of more learning than they have. Shirley Brame bequeaths to Joe Mabry her speed in basketball. Ann Best leaves her changeable romances to Alice Dickerson. Tunstall Curtis wills to Mary Delia Reavis his big mouth. John Reavis leaves his pestering ways to Jean Gill. Kenneth Daeke leaves his love of studying to Jean Finch who could use a little more studying. Peggy Breedlove leaves her quiet ways to Jane Mustian. Mary Sue Moore leaves her flirting ability to Jean Currin, though she doesn’t really need it. Gill Duke leaves his way with the patrolmen to Roger Fleming. Maurice Fleming wills his acting ability to Edward Harris. Eunice White wills her ability to talk softly to Dolly Best. Pauline Kearson leaves to Agnes Harris her dignified ways. Ferebee Fletcher wills her bashfulness to Ruby Alice Satterwhite. Alvin Ellington leaves his love of eating to Alice Lloyd, who has a very poor appetite. Finally, we do hereby name and appoint sole executor of this, our last will and testament, our class advisor, Mrs. Mary McColl. In witness whereof, We, the class of 1950 and the testatrix, have set our hands . and seals on this 28th day of May, in the year of one thousand-nine hundred fifty A. D.

It was established to teach farm boys better methods of farming. One of its more important aims and purposes is to develop competent, aggressive rural leadership by creating a love of coun- try life and encouraging the improvement of scholarship. Another aim is to participate in worthy undertakings for the improvement of agriculture. This includes the development of individual farm programs such as improving the farm house and surroundings. Striving to reach these goals helps the member to gain confidence in himself, develop a strong character, and a willingness to cooperate with others. Rlaythin Band Director: Mrs. Carl M.

The purpose of the Rhythm Band is primarily to interest children in music. Rhythm is one of the fundamental elements in the life of the child, and one of the best mediums for its expression is in the Rhythm Band. While the children are developing rhythm they are also learning melody which is equally important in the band. They learn the melody by the use of the piano, the tonettes, and by singing. The experience in united action is valuable to the child as well as the development of controlled muscular action. The Rhythm Band also prepares the children for participation in musical organizations in high school. Glee Club Director: Mrs. Carl M.

The director of a glee club stresses singing in the group as one voice. The girls take this training to their respective churches where so often a few strong voices can lead all others. The girls, as a rule, take pride in helping to im- prove the music in the country churches. The appreciation of good music and the ability to distinguish between the good and bad in music is a great help to everyone. In the glee club the director selects music that is elevating and yet not too classical for the girls to grasp. Those singing in this group acquire a taste for the best in music, and as a result music in the school, in the home, and in the church is raised to a higher standard. onogram Git INAV TS OL'SIs suidise howe viommsins bieiets ee VED Gea Cn WNOTERLG Mrs. George Blum, Jr. First row, left to right: Eva Edwards, Thomas Breedlove, Shirley Brame, Jean Gill, Maurice Fleming, Ferebee Fletcher.
