SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the Senior Class of 1955, entered Northampton County High School on September 9, 1951. We were very excited and eager to begin the secondary level of our educational career. On our arrival, all Freshmen assembled in rooms 5 and 6 of our old school, which is now an elementary school, and were later assigned to our various homerooms. Freshman “A” Class was under the leadership of Miss D. M. Turner, Freshman “B” Class was under the leadership of Mrs. L. P. King, and Freshman “C” Class was under the leadership of Mrs. H. D. Upshur, During that year we were represented in the Homecoming Activities by Hatterine Johnson of Section “A,” who was the runner up for Miss Homecoming. Armilla Rowley of Section “B” and Amanda Wright of Section “C.” In the May Day Activities we were honored to have Odelle Johnson of Section “B” as our May Queen. The other contestants were Shirley Usher and Elizabeth Savage. In September of 1952, we returned to Northampton County High School as determined and energetic Sophomores. We were more acquainted with the school and therefore we found our Sophomore year more interesting than our Freshman year. We were still very eager to par¬ ticipate in the extra-curricular activities of our school. We were represented in the Homecoming Activities by Gretchen Smith, Section “A,” who was runner-up, Anne Wilkins of Section “B,” and Virginia Allen, Section “C.” In the May Day Activity our contestants were Shirley Usher, Armilla Rowley and Mabel Harmon. On September 3, 1953, we entered our new building. Our new building plus the fact that we were Juniors made us very happy during that year. We were again honored by Odelle John¬ son who won the title of Miss Homecoming. The other contestants were Elizabeth Harris and Harriet Spady. We were very excited over the idea of planning the Junior-Senior Prom. We worked very hard and gave a very successful Prom. In the May Day Activity, we were represented by Gretchen Smith, Mary Fisher and Elizabeth Savage. So again in September of 1954, we returned to Northampton County High School. We entered with dll pride and dignity attributed to seniors. We had made up our minds that we would work hard and try to make our final year here at Northampton a cherished memory. We were divided into two groups and were under the guidance and leadership of Mrs. M. B. Poole and Mr. J. B. Cook. We were represented in the Homecoming Activity by Shirley Usher and Naomi Francis. We, the members of the “Senior Class,” feel that we owe most of our gratitude for the success of our training t o our Parents, Principal and Faculty. We shall always be grateful to these people who have guided and directed us in the paths which will lead us to success.
