. - NORTHAMPTON COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL DEDICATION The Seniors of 1954 dedicate this year’s LIGHTHOUSE to our former class¬ mate and friend, Elsie Sample, whose serious illness during the early part of her Freshman year made it necessary for her to withdraw from school and discontinue her education. To her we dedicate this book as concrete proof that even after four years absence, she is still fondly remem¬ bered in our thoughts and prayers. To her we say, “Don’t give up, for in the words of Ovid, ‘Courage conquers all things; it even gives strength to the body’. ’ ’ We will continue to remember you in our thoughts and prayers and hope for you an early recovery. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1954 PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE GREETINGS TO CLASS OF 1954: Young people of the 1954 graduating class, it is indeed a pleasure of mine to con¬ gratulate a special group of future American citizens. It has been your good fortune to see and be a part of this era which has marked the turning point of education in Northampton County, and surely you will cherish the idea that you are the first to graduate from the new Northampton County High. In cherishing this idea let us not forget those who preceded you, for without the many graduates who stood at the threshold where you are now standing, this pleasure would not have been yours to enjoy. Upon leaving us, remember that education is a continuous process--never ending. As, “Today’s Youth In Tomorrow’s World’’, you must keep up reading of good books and continue to develop a keen interest in the world in which you live. Find opportunities wherever you are to be of real service to your fellowmen. Affiliate with those institutions and movements which have for their purpose the making of a better world, and remember that genuine and lasting success comes to him who can lose himself in the interests of others. We wish to commend you for your enthusiasm and spirit of cooperation in per¬ petuating our Annual, “The Lighthouse’’. The entire community is proud of your achieve¬ ments thus far, and we wish for you a must successful and useful life. W. H. SMITH PRINCIPAL ADMINISTRATION Mrs. M. B. Poole ENGLISH Miss D. M.

This year’s program features people who have made outstanding achieve¬ ments in the years 1954-1964. First on our television screen we see Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hampton (Mrs. Hampton is the former Miss Carole Harmon). Mr. and Mrs. Hampton, married for six years, are quite proud of their three children, Joe, Jr., Josephine, and Joselle. Mr. Hampton, now Fleaweight Champion of the World is training three year old Joe, Jr., to follow in his footsteps. Now we see three old maids gossiping over a white picket fence. They are Misses Cleo Allen, Cutie Sewell and Odell Chapman, all inmates of the Dixon Home for Unmarried Women. For the life of me, I can’t see how Cleo made it; we were sure that by now, she’d be married to the manager of Dixon’s Old Maid Home, Trim Dixon. Believe it or not but Misses Flossie Sample, Leevenzil Gibbs, Helen Sample and Yvonne Smith are all Powers Models with twenty two inch waistlines. Mr. Charles Bailya and the former Miss Ethel Harmon are in Bermuda on their honeymoon. Mr. John B. Sample, the All American Athlete, has taken the place of the retired Reece Tatum with the Harlem Globe Trotters. Mr. Sample’s wife, the former Miss Geneva Sample, sits in the bleachers and cheers herself blue in the face at every game. That most genial of all guys, Clarence Smaw, is now the two-hundred and fifty pounds star of the Royal Canadian Football Team. We hear by the way of the grapevine that he has broken the hearts of half of the Canadian lasses. We regret that he cannot be televised, but Raymond Gunter is Chief Inspector in charge of cleaning the streets of Manhattan. Here on film we have Miss Constance Whitney, internationally famous concert soprano, who is now on tour, singing for royalty in the Far East. We always knew she’d make good- even in high school. Charles Perkins is presently employed as Doctor of Philosophy at the Perkins Institute of Split Verbs and Broken Language. Our congratulations go to Robert Hallett and George Tate who received their college diploma just last night after seven school terms and four summers of study. Their major field of study was Aero-Dynamics. Mr. Joseph Davis and his wife, the former Miss Carolyn Wright, have finally married after nearly eight years of courtship; they have settled on their lovely ranch in Waco, Texas, and are experimenting with a serum that is supposed to make perfume from the glands of polecats. We know very little of their progress, however, be¬ cause the odor of the “perfume’’ discourages anyone from going closer than a mile of the ranch. Misses Elenor Collins, Shirley Wynder and Bessie Edwards have been forced to close the ir “Snappy Food Shop’’ on Chitterling Ave. because of lack of customers. It seems that during their opening week three of their customers died after eating the house specialty, crayfish soup; one of the young ladies had tried to economize by substituting specially prepared toadstools for the required mush¬ rooms. Since that time all four of them have been banished like “Baby Lon’’. Miss Pauline Matthews and Mr. William Sisco have again broken their engagement for the ninth time. It seems that Miss Matthews didn’t approve of the way Mr. Sisco used a punch bowl on Lawrence Collins head at thelastSt. Patrick’s Day Ball. Here we have a picture of Mr. Collins in his private room at Harlem Hospital. In case you are wondering about that huge tube like object propped up on the scaffolding, it is Lawrence’s head. Mr. Sisco said it was all in self defence because Lawrence aimed at him with the ice bucket. William Davis, Libby Beaman and Raymond Armstrong have opened a skating rink in Chicago, but the rink is temporarily closed because both of the young men are confined to their rooms with compound fractures of the skull resulting from a head on collision on the ice. Misses Mary Ann Collins, Lucille Giddens, Shirley Upshur and Evelyn Christain have formed themselves into a quartette called “The Non-Musical ones’’ and are appearing nightly at the swanky “Stardust Night Club’’. Believe it or not, but petite Evelyn Christain is the featured vocalist and the house is packed. Messrs Laniton Bailey, James Collins, Earl Jordan, John Nottingham and Curtis Collins are great business men in Africa. They have been sent over by their company to clear up some jungle property and build a dozen ice houses and deep-freeze plants. On this film we take you under the tents of Harris and Hrem Circus where Messrs Ernest Willis, Roosevelt Fisher, and Orlo Trower are employed as weight lifters and trick riders. In the same circus David Williams and Caldonia Turner have become famous trapeze artists. Their specialty is turning trapeze somersaults two hundred feet in the air. Attorneys Edward Fisher and Jacob Thomas are shown here at their Washington hotel where they are making final plans for a trip to South America. They have been sent by the President as Ambassadors to Peru and Venezuala respectively. Messrs. Herman Satchell and Herbert Smith and Misses Lillie Johnson and Ella Dunton have been awarded scholarships to study at Cambridge University in England. They are doing advanced work in the field of English Literature. Can you imagine that ! The way they hated anything con¬ nected with English in high school. It must be their love for MACBETH. Misses Florence Starchia, Edna Wynder and Ethel Savage are shown here as they received the American Nurses Association’s citation for “Nurseof the Year”. It is the first time in the history of the association that three nurses have received this award in the same year. Here our television camera is focused on the outside of the latest school of modern dancing which will open for the first time next week. The directors of this school are Misses Mabel Roselle, Jeraline Giddens, Barbara Jones, and Cleo Robinson. Tap dancing will be taught by Miss Roselle and Miss Robinson and Miss Giddens will teach the Samba. Miss Jones will furnish the music; she is quite skilled in playing the piano, drums and xylophone. As a result of the medicine given them by Dr. James Davis, Theron Wynder and Edward Smith have shrunk six inches. It seems that Dr. Davis accidentally gave them the medicine that he was using in his experiments to shrink the weeds in his hothouse. Mr. Smith and Mr. Wynder at present are living in the Gobi Desert where they hope the hot sun will help to offset the ill effects of the drugs. For our final presentation tonight our cameramen have focused on Misses Doretha Weeks and Mary Elizabeth Collins as they step from a TWA Airliner just back from Paris where they have spent six months studying dress designing at L’Ecole de Paris. We understand that some of the sports clothes designed by these two will be sold by many of the large fashion houses in Paris, London, and New York. We salute them ! And ladies and gentlemen until this same time in 1974, when we return with a new edition of “People Are News”, th is is Juan de Lucca Haze saying, “Keep living and keep achieving”. We’ll be seeing you. Goodnight ! CLASS SONG Dear Northampton High, we love thee We’ll always sing thy praise. We gave our best of service. Through all our high school days. Farewell Northampton High, It’s time we must depart. We will always pledge our service Farewell Northampton High. We want to thank our principal. Our teachers and friends, too. For advice and understanding During the time we’ve spent with you. Now that our days are over And from thee we’ll depart. We’ll ever pledge our service For you’ll stay in our hearts. Tune: “Annie Laure” Composed by: Edward Smith ALMA MATER Dear Old Northampton to thee we raise Our humble voices to sing thy praise; Your hope and wisdom did fire our youth Blazing the pathway to light and truth. We’ll ever strive to bring thee fame Honor and glory shall be our aim We’ll revere thee. We’lPe’er be true To Alma Mater till life is through. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September 1951, we the class of 1954 entered Northampton County High School and were divided into three sections; A, B, and C. Our home room teachers were Miss D.M. Turner (Fresh¬ man A), Miss H. Green (Freshman B), and Miss L.B. Patterson (Freshman C). Under the super¬ vision of our teachers we began to progress rapidly. We were represented in the Homecoming Festivities by Helen Harris of Freshman A, Rosa Parker of Freshman C, and last but not least Cleo Allen of Freshman B, who won second place. Our May Queen contestants were Ethel Savage, Christine Rawley and Mary Fisher. Christine Rawley won third place. September 1952, we were sophisticated sophomores. Our advisors were Mrs. M. B. Collins of Sophomore A, Mr. A.B. Whitehead of Sophomore B, and Mr. T.R. Vasser of Sophomore C. In the Homecoming Festivities Balease Frances of Sophomore B won third place. The other ! contestants were Helen Harris and Florence Starchia. In the May Day Activities, Carolyn Wright of Sophomore B won second place. The other contestants were Odell Chapman and Doretha Weeks. September 1953, were honorable juniors, sponsors of the big event, the Junior-Senior Prom, i We were divided into only two groups. Mrs. M. B. Collins Junior B advisor and Mr. T. R. Vasser, Junior A advisor. In the Homecoming Festivities, Shirley Upshur of Junior B won fourth place. The other ■ contestant was Ethel Savage. In the May Day Activities, Florence Starchia represented the Junior B section and Carolyn Wright Jr. A. Pauline Matthews and Carolyn Wright were selected to attend the State Conference of New Homemakers of America in Petersburg, Va., at Virginia State College. Pauline Matthews was elected State Parliamentarian. Cleo Allen and Pauline Matthews were selected to attend the State Conference of New Home¬ makers of America at Virginia State College. Pauline Matthews also was elected to attend the National Conference in Prarie View, Texas. Under the supervision of our advisors, we succeeded in giving a most successful Prom in May. September 3, 1953, we entered Northampton County High School as dignified seniors under the supervision of Mrs. M.B. Poole and Mr. J.E. Worsley. We began making plans for the usual seniors activities, the yearbook, trips to Maryland State College and Norfolk Division of Virginia State College. We had the privilege of being the first senior class to see an indoor basketball game in our school. We regret, however, that this is our first and last year in the new school. Our plans are to have our commencement exercises in our new auditorium. This year the football team and basketball team have been very victorious. The teams consist of a number of seniors who helped to win the championship in both football and basketball. To the faculty, we wish to extend our grateful appreciation for cooperating with us in the past years which will help us to build a successful future. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS SENIOR CLASS WILL To Whom It May Concern: Having been warned by Dr. Father Time, our family physician that our time here is limited, we, the members of the Senior Class of 1954, do hereby publicize our last will and testament. Whereas our heirs are numerous and antagonistic towards each other and whereas we would not be able to rest easy in our graves if civil war were being carried on in our absence, we are itemiz¬ ing each article of our estate that is to be given away. We do this for the expressed purpose of eliminating any ill will, disputes, or libel and slander suits after our demise. Jointly, we bequest to our Principal and Faculty an abundance of gratitude for their patience, courage, and wisdom which contributed immeasurably to our present success and future hopes. A simple but sincere “Thank You” we leave to our parents who have sacrificed so many lesser plans and hopes to the greater desires of seeing us high school graduates. To the Junior, Sophomore and Freshman classes we leave our loyalty, our determination, and our cooperative spirit hoping that they will thereby be successful in all their worthwile efforts.

VETERANS CLASS The Institution On-Farm Training Class conducted at the Northampton County High School serves as a medium for aiding Veteran Farmers to achieve greater success in the ways and means of obtaining a livelihood.

Institutional On-Farm Train¬ ing may be defined as that type of agricultural training offered at Northampton County High School which will meet the needs of the individual veteran in the type of farming for which he is train¬ ing for proficiency in planning, production, marketing, farm mechanics, conservation, farm financing, farm management, and keeping of farm and home accounts. These Veterans come from the two counties of Easter Shore, Northampton and Accomack. The officers of the club are Lorenza R. Savage, President; Arthur L. Smaw, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Walter D.

However, school spirit remained high and decorations that had been planned for floats were promptly used to decorate individual home rooms. In spite of the rain and mud, our Golden Bulls won an overwhelming victory over Southside High of Gretna. The final score was 41 - 0 in our favor. Miss Homecoming was crowned by the Principal, Mr. W. H. Smith, and received an arm bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums from the Football Captain, John Sample.

NORTHAMPTON SAFETY PATROL The Safety Patrol is just one means through which safety can be extended beyond the class¬ room. The patrol does not have any official authority. The members direct their fellow students across the streets and highways, assist bus drivers in keeping order while students are on the buses, and assist at out of class activities at school. Therefore it is imperative that all patrol members exemplify the highest ideals of character and conduct so as to set good examples for the student body. The primary aims of the Northampton Safety Patrol are: 1. To protect children from automobile accidents while they are on their way to and from school. 2. To foster qualities of leadership and good citizenship in patrol members. OFFICERS President. Vice-President . . . Secretary. Assistant Secretary Chaplain. Treasurer . Sponsor . .
