Our hearts are light, our voices gay For we are setting sail today To parts unknown, to lands unseen, Fulfillment of our every dream. But ere we say our warm good-byes to you, Our secret thoughts we will impart to you. Oh, how we love you, dear Nahunta High! Thoughts of you will be with us Until we die. Sailing, Sailing over the bounding Main, For many a stormy wind may blow Ere we come home again. Sailing, Sailing under the skies so blue. For many a stormy wind may blow Ere we come back to you. We ' ve had our fun, we ' ve had our tears. We have been with you twelve short years. But ere we leave to go away Just one more thing we wish to say. Good-by to friends, to parents, teachers dear. You ' ve done so much for us Since we ' ve been here. Oh, how we love you, dear Nahunta High! Thoughts of you will be with us until we die. ae K In ' 41 we started to build A stately ship--the winds could not wield. We gathered materials from near and from far. We made ready our plans to tread after a star, A star that would lead us up toward the right. Hoping temptation we would fight. We first built the hull of number one steel. Then the stern of strong mind and strong will. Up went the mask where love ' s banner will fly Representing goodness past the day that we die. Faith as our captain to pilot us on; Work as first mate clean through the gray dawn. Will our voyage be successful? Have we learned payment in full? Will we Nahunta ' s great name magnify. As we make ready ourselves with a sigh? Let us keep our anchor ever ready Lest we steer too close to a terrible eddy. Whether we sail through the wind or sail through the rain, God bless us all ' til we meet again. By David Harper

The class of 1953 began its career at Nahunta in 1941. The class was divided from the First through the Fifth Grades, but we were all together in the Sixth Grade. That year, we went to Raleigh, and our teacher was married during the year. We lost six of our classmates in the Seventh Grade. We all enjoyed the Eighth Grade and everyone graduated. We came happily back in 1949 to our first year of High School. Mr. A.C. Holloman was our teacher, and we gained three pupils in that year and lost two. Although we were called ' Green Freshmen’, we got along fine with everyone. After a summer of hard work, we came back as ' Sophomores ' to more hard work. Mr. W. P. Hollowell was our teacher. That year, we lost seven pupils and our principal. Starting our Junior year, we had a new principal, Mr. Hollowell, and our Eleventh Grade teacher, Mrs. E. B. Simpson, was also doing her part. She had the terrible sorrow of losing her husband in the middle of the year, and we can ' t put into words how sorry we are about this, and we do appreciate everything she did for us. She helped us physically and mentally. We all got along very nicely as a class and teacher. We lost two classmates in our Junior year and gained one. Our Junior play, ' It’s Great To Be Crazy ' , was given November 8, 1951. We gave the Seniors a banquet on March 28, 1952, at Hotel Goldsboro. The five marshalls were: John Allen Edgerton, Chief; David Harper, Peggy Gurley, Mar¬ jorie Sasser, Hilda Gurley. We learned to like the Seniors and hated to see them leave us, but we know they were ready to go after twelve years. Beginning our Senior year, we had twenty-one students. We lost two and now we have nineteen. After getting settled down we started to work on our Senior play, ' Here Comes Charlie ' , which was given on November 14, 1952. Everyone enjoyed it, and this made us feel good. After our play, came our Washington trip. We left November 23, 1952, and returned November 26. Mrs. Cooper Gurley, Mrs. Vernelson and Mrs. Homer Richardson were our chaperones. We stayed the first night at Natural Bridge and two nights in Wash¬ ington. Mrs. Vernelson was our homeroom teacher. We all had fun working on our af al, and we are very proud of it even though we had to work hard to complete it so you co .J have it back by the end of school. Miss Hurdle was our sponsor, and we truly appreciate everything she did for lb. Our twelve years of school have been hard and even though we felt like quitting at times, we are glad we did not. You people take our advice, ' It may be hard, but it is well worth your time to finish school’. We know we will miss all of you, but we will look back through our annual and remember our school days with you while here at Nahunta High School. Peggy Gurley Historian
