I sincerely believe that it is the hope and the prayer of everyone that you at all times carry with you the necessary equipment in order to serve your co mmunity as a good citizen.

Y ou should be proud of he fact that you have had the opportunity to attend a grow- ing school that has the basis of a well-organized program. You should strive to work for a better school each and every day. We will want you to continue to contribute to the total growth and development of one of the better schools in North Carolina. As principal of the Millbrook School. I take a great deal of personal and profes- sional pride in what has been accomplished in the past two school years. Let us con- tinue to go forward. We must have the support and good will of all the people. It is my hope that our school, led by a forceful and progressive student body, can ac- complish the dreams, goals and the prayers of the sincere, loyal and cooperative stu- dents. It has been a great pleasure to work with you and for you in a democratic society towards the greatest cause on the face of the earth . . . the cause of building moral and spiritual values in the lives of the youth of our land. Now that we have the equipment, let us not fail to use it to the maximum. May God bless our noble efforts. SCHOOL BOARD W. B. Massengill. W. V. Bridgers, R. N. Bass, Jr., Chair- man. Roland F.

Lacye Bailey Harris CLASS POEM The chimes toll the ending of another song As we gather for the grand finale. With tears and smiles we’ve waited long, But echoes of old memories linger. The chimes recall a forgotten melody Of years gone by and many yet to come. Willows and roses sing merrily With sadness and joy twined together. The chimes will ring again for those who seek; For others — this will be the final toll. Perhaps, again we’ll n ever meet Except through dreams of long ago. Let it be said today the chimes did toll, That every soul did seek and God did find. For everyone there is in life a goal . . . Our endless search will never cease. Let little be thought of our yesterdays and sorrows, Hope only for our good and great tomorrows. CLASS HISTORY Four years ago, on a hot autumn day, 53 very green freshmen stared timidly into the face of Miss Olive. We gained a lot of com- posure and knowledge of high school life un- der her guidance. One of the things we gained was a new and interesting personality, Mar- garet Newton. We lost many interesting per- sonalities also that year. Little white houses with picket fences seemed to appeal to three of our girls . . . Hazel Wilmouth, Sylvia Holmes, and Kate Pittard. Sadie McWhirter, Ann Stevens, Joyce Williams, Mary Frances Morton, Estelle Jones, Bob Johnson, and Bob- by Stevens moved to other localities and oth- er schools. Frances Williams left us to seek an occupation elsewhere. Two going-away parties were given all these members, one at Mine Creek Clubhouse and the other one at Carolyn Smith’s house. Memories of those dear classmates are still with us. A tacky par- ty was held at the end of the year for all of us at Bayleaf Clubhouse. We all donned our fads and fancies from grandma’s attic and had a hilarious evening. The events of the first year acquainted us with high school life and brought us to Mrs. Yelton and higher goals. We gained three students from the last year’s sophomore class: Richard Beddingfield, Tommy Drake, and G. T. Whaley. Bert Barrett joined us from Broughton and Roy Pugh came to us from the army, but soon left us again. Bert stayed with us one year and then left for Raleigh again. We also lost Helen Weatherspoon to the occupational world. Becky Surles, in the pursuit of knowledge, followed a light that led to Peace College. Peggy Misskelly joined the senior class. Dorothy Benton decided to get married and Harvey Crabtree decided to stay in the sophomore class. A wonderful Christmas party was held in the cafeteria for us. We brought the year to a whirlwind close by visiting Lake Mirl quite often. Being upperclassmen was a big responsi- bility, but we felt we were ready for it as we greeted Miss Stevens, our Junior advisor. We also greeted Sonya Mitchell, who brought smiles and merriment with her from Brough- ton. Roy Sharp was with us for a while, but soon moved away. We had two big events to plan for; the Junior-Senior and “Aunt Cathie’s Cat,” our Junior Play. The play was quite a success and so was the banquet. Our theme was “Moonlight and Roses.” We hated very much to lose Mac Bradley and Olin Johnson to other schools at this time. We wound up the year of gaiety by going to Beacon Lake on a wiener roast. Arrival at Mrs. Johnston’s door was a big realization that the end was about to begin. So, we decided to collect all our treasured memories and put them together on one pro- duction, the 1955 “Laurel.” Our first high- light was in September when we got our class rings which we were all proud of. Early in the year we lost Tommy Drake to the army. G. T. Whaley soon followed in his footsteps. We gained Daryl Knipe, Bill Makepeace, and Junior Allmon, who came to us from other schools and brought much with them to add to our senior activities. Choosing mascots and superlatives was the next big step toward graduation. “Gown of Glory” was chosen for our senior play, which meant a lot of hard work and fun for all. As we look forward to our Junior-Senior, class night, and graduation, we all realize we are nearing the end, but there is a space in our hearts for these memories and treasures that we’ll never forget. We’ll carry them with us always, no matter where the road of life leads us. SHIRLEY RAY, Historian CLASS PROPHECY OF 1955 The chimes of time ring out the news Another day is through . . Let ' s take a look into the future and catch a glimpse of the 1955 graduating class of Millbrook High School. First, we’ll drop in on Dr. Robert Hoadley in his classroom at N. C. State College where he now teaches a course in Civil Engineering. On our way out we’ll catch a quick glimpse of Sonya and Dickey Hall, our gay young socialites, on their way to the Raleigh Little Theatre and the grand open- ing of “The Loves of Casanova,” starring our own Bill Makepeace. Miss Bettie Rose Ferrell will be there also, seeing the outcome of her very first play under her own direction. Speaking of harmony, well, let’s take a quick peek at the two girls who got married during our senior year; Mrs. Myrtle Smith and Mrs. Carolyn Edwards. Myrtle is the wife of Raleigh’s new Chief of Police and Carolyn is the wife of an Army Officer. A plane roars overhead. Lacye Harris is aboard that plane . . . going abroad, gathering material for her new book. Quite a few of our boys loved travel and romance, so they joined our armed forces to see the world. Pete Ray, G. T. Whaley, Tim Watkins, and Joseph Bridges. Anybody want to join the WACs? Now let’s take a breather and ride out to John Haithcock ' s FRESH AIR FARM. John has become quite a successful farmer since he left Millbrook. Edward McCall has recently opened a little wood- craft shop that turns out nothing but McCall Originals. The Medical field has been blessed with quite a number of our students, all female. Charlotte Lassiter and Betty Griffin are our two girls in white. Right now the U. S. Navy claims them to keep all those homesick sailors contented. Sally Mangum , Shirley Ray, and Jeanette Aikens make a cute trio in their starched white uniforms as they go about their work as laboratory technicians. Sue Harward seems to always have a smile on her face. Her peace of mind comes from her diligent ef- forts of good will as a Physical Therapist. New York City engulfs a few of our girls inside its busy walls. Patsy Pate’s heels go clicking down Fifth Avenue daily, but not un-noticed. Patsy is now one of the nation’s top ten in the modeling world. Doris Carter and Carolyn Walters, two pretty young secretaries, are there also, but not for long, for pretty soon they will be returning to those guys back home. Three of our boys also decided to enter the Com- mercial field and they look quite well in white col- lars as business men. They are Richard Beddingfield, Leslie Johnson, and Roland Doepner. Barbara Linker is still at Millbrook as the pretty young Home Ec. teacher. She ' ll put all that knowledge to use soon . . . June maybe. If you’re at home tonight, don’t forget to turn your TV dial to CBS and Margaret Newton, world’s fun- niest comedienne; she’ll keep you rolling. It ' s no won- der she hit the top with Barbara Smith as her manager. Roger Watkins, former All-American Football Star, is now very happy in his work, coaching the Midget Football League. Emil Dyer has made a killing with his thinking cap and those gruesome detective stories he and the ' press are putting out daily. Daryl Knipe has married another horse lover and now lives on a spacious ranch. Daryl is personally breaking in all the horses and rearing more little horse lovers. Martha Williams now manages her own little dress shop and in her spare time writes poetry that has al- ready been recognized in the literary world. Carolyn Moore is now manager of the IBM de- partment in one of Raleigh’s leading firms. This concludes the prophecy of our 1955 graduating class. All in all I see a successful future for all my classmates who are fulfilling their own individual de- sires. FRANCES TURNER.

FUSSELL ACTIVITIES SURVEY As the shadows begin to fall at our dear school, we begin to recall the many happy moments that were spent in our work and pleasure. Recalling these happy memo- ries. we realize the importance and help that we received from being members of the many activities offered in this school. Working together and building together in each organization has not only developed us as seniors, but has also given us experience that will be very valuable to us someday. We are very grateful that we have been given a chance to choose the activities that interest us most. In this past year the school has offer ed twenty-one organizations for the high school and four for the grammar grades. Let’s begin with the Student Council. This is an or- ganization in which the different classes are represented by students chosen for this job. The students work with the principal and the school administration is planning different things for the betterment of the school and the student body. Miss Myra Olive is sponsor of this or- ganization. Next we go to the Beta Club. This is the honor society of the school. Members are chosen on the basis of leader- ship. character, scholarship, and attitude. New members are taken in annually from the Junior and Senior classes. This organization is sponsored by Mrs. Mary S. Johnston. The Monogram Club is for the school athletes and cheer- leaders. This is one of the largest organizations in high school. Basketball, football, and baseball are the three major sports represented in the Monogram Club. Mr. James D. Johnson is the sponsor. The F.H.A. and F.F.A. are the two clubs sponsored by the Vocational Department of the school. They play an important part in developing Future Homemakers and Farmers. These organizations work through the Home Ec. and Agriculture Departments. Mr. W. T. Winborne and Miss Marguerite Taylor are the advisors of these or- ganizations. The Future Teachers organization is a new and im- portant club in our school. Miss Olive is the sponsor of this group of rising young teachers. Sometime the mem- bers have a chance to substitute for an hour or so for one of the regular teachers. The more experience gained, the more important it is to these Future Teachers. The Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Holland, is making rapid progress toward becoming one of the best in the county. A large percent of the high school students are in the Glee Club and are really working hard to make it a success. The Drill Club, sppnsored by Mr. James D. Johnson, trains the boys in present and future military use. Le Cercle Francais and The Junior Classical League are the language clubs of the high school. These clubs are mainly formed to create an interest and understanding in the foreign languages. They are sponsored by Mrs. Mary S. Johnston. The Science Club is a newly organized one and helps the students in many forms of science and invention. The many opportunities open in the field of science are made known to the members of this club. They are looking forward to an even brighter future of the club as soon as the high school gets established in the new building. This club is sponsored by Mrs. Lois Yelton, who is pro- moting the Science Fair. The Commercial Club opens up the aspects and op- portunities in the business field. How to be a good busi- ness man or secretary is an important phase of concentra- tion in this club. The high school paper, “The Laurelette” is also published by the commercial club. This organiza- tion is under the leadership of Miss Doris Stevens. The Dramatics Club is open for seniors only who are interested in dramatics. In tiiis club, different aspects of the theatre are discussed and looked into. They also as- sist in the plays that are presented here. This group is sponsored by Mrs. Mary S. Johnston, who directed “Gown of Glory,” “Bake a Cherry Pie,” and the Christmas Story tableaux. The Annual Staff, elected each year from the senior class, is in charge of the production of “The Laurel.” Mrs. Johnston is in charge of this group. Next we will take up the grammar grade activities. Here we have the 4-H, sponsored by Mrs. W. G. Willi- ford; the School Safety Patrol, sponsored by Mrs. Jack- son; the Band, sponsored by Mrs. R. L. Rabb. The Safety Patrol is doing a wonderful job in direct- ing the students to safety and orderliness in the halls and around the building. Parking cars during a night func- tion is another one of the jobs of the Patrol. The 4-H is an organization closely related to the Fu- ture Homemakers and Future Farmers. The purpose is to promote a better relationship in the Farm and Home. The band has recently been reorganized and is show- ing very much progress. Mrs. Rabb is doing a wonderful job especially since most of the students are in the gram- mar grades. Realizing that we have benefited greatly from par- ticipating in these activities, we wish to thank all those that have given us this privilege. As we are about to leave this school, we hope that all will have these and greater opportunities in the future. BARBARA LINKER CHRJST a pageant FH-A.

ATHLETICS AT MILLBROOK Here at Millbrook we have the three major sports: football, girls’ and boys’ bas- ketball, and baseball, with cheerleaders cheering us on to victory. At the beginning of our third year in football, we had a well lighted gridiron which the people of the community supplied by raising the necessary funds. Since we have fielded a team for only three years, we have only a few wins accredited in the scoring column, but we advanced greatly in spirit and in sportsmanship under the coaching of James D. Johnson. We are getting more experience all along and great things are expected in the future. For basketball we have had our gymnasium renovated and it is now one of the best gyms in the county. Our girls, coached by Miss Doris E. Stevens, have a great competitive spirit, good sportsmanship, and much ability. This year they have one of the best teams in the county. Great things are expected from this group of girls. Our boys’ team also has a great competitive spirit, good sportsmanship, and much ability. We were left out when the height was passed around, but we have some fast, hustling cagers. We are also short on experience, but we should improve in the future. In baseball there are high hopes of a winning team because we have ten lettermen returning from last year. With a break here and there we could go all the way. Our cheerleaders are the best in the county (we think). They are selected by the faculty on the basis of experience, voice, etc. They have gone a long way toward promoting better school spirit. They deserve much credit. In the future we hope to add some of the minor sports, such as tennis and track. We also hope to become state contenders in all sports.
