With true affection and gratitude do we, the students of New Bern High School, DEDICATE the 1957 BRUIN to MR. JAMES N. SMITH, JR., our friend and advisor. His claim to distinction lies in a real understanding of the students, their abilities, their faiths,-and in translating these qualities, both by precept and example, into the language of accomplishment. Mr. Smith, affectionately known as Jimmy,,' teaches Physics and Mathe- matics. A native of New Bern, he received his Bachelor of Science Degree from North Carolina State College and his Master of Arts from the Uni- versity of Alabama. Here at New Bern High, where he has taught for seven years, he considers his sponsorship of the Senior Boys' Hi-Y as an all-important privilege. During the past five years he has served as one of the sponsors for that history-making affair, the junior-Senior Prom, a time when his versatility has been really tested-and found more than adequate. May the years be kind to him and smile on his efforts to make of school days hours of pleasure and reward!
