CJLASS HIJSTORY We, the graduating class of 1956, entered Northampton County High School September 9, 1952. We were divided into three sections by our principal, Mr. W. H. Smith. Under the supervision of Miss D. M. Turner (Freshman A), Mr. A. B, White- head (Freshman B), and Miss D. M. Bell (Freshman C), we finally settled down to work. We were represented in the Homecoming activities by Misses Rheba Francis (Freshman A), Rebecca Ames (Freshman B), and Gardenia Morris (Freshman C). Misses Dorothy Mapp (Freshman A), Juanita Brickhouse (Freshman B), and Isabel Willis (Freshman C) represented us in the May Day Activities. In September of 1953 we entered our new school as sophisticated sophomores and were more excited and eager to advance in our educational career. At the close of the term we were glad to know that our sophomore year had been a success. Our homeroom teachers were Mr. A. B. Whitehead, Miss E. Smaw, and Mr. B. E. Moss. We were glad to participate in the Homecoming Activities. During that year we were represented by Miss Maryetta Weeks (Sophomore A), Miss Shirley Gray (Sophomore B), and Miss Louvenia Harmon (Sophomore C). Misses Flourine Tur¬ ner (Sophomore A), Marion Hickman (Sophomore B), and Barbara Spruiel (Sopho¬ more C) represented us in the May Day Activities. We entered school in September 2, 1954, as juniors and were put under the supervision of the following teachers: (Junior A) Miss B. McQuaige, (Junior B) Mr. E, B. Busch Jr., and (Junior C) Mr. T. R. Vasser. Miss Vivan Spady won the title o f Miss Homecoming. Other contestants were Miss Obelia Sisco and Miss Barbara Rogers. We were very happy to sponsor a junior play “Let’s Pretend’’ and a Junior and Senior Prom, both of which were very successful. Our May Day contestants were Misses Rheba Francis (Junior A), Juanita Brickhouse (Junior B), and Dollie Mae Carey (Junior C). On September 6, 1956, we entered Northampton County High School as dighified seniors and were divided into two sections under Mrs. M. B. Poole (Senior A) and Mr. T. R. Vasser (Senior B). We were glad to be a step nearer one of the goals for which we had striven for many years. Our praises go to our parents, principal, and faculty members. Dorothy Mapp, (Senior A), won the title of Miss Homecoming. Our other contestant was Dorothy Sample. Miss Maryetta Weeks (Senior A) and Miss Shirley Gray (Senior B) are our May Day contestants. THE TIME HAS COME (Class Poem) The Time has come for us to leave. Our Dear Northampton County High But we’ll always cherish with grateful hearts. The things we did acquire The time has come for us to face Some greater task of life Northampton Dear you made this possible And we’ll be grateful for the rest of our life The hour has come for us to leave Our teachers and classmates, too But in our hearts, Northampton High We’ll always cherish you Northampton Dear we’ll never forget The things for us you’ve done Now we must leave the ones we love For our parting time has come Composed by: Helen Harmon
