SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We the class of 1963 enrolled at Northampton County High School in the year of 1958 with much anticipation and great determination to embark on another voyage to the seas to further our education. Mr. W. H. Smith, our principal divided us into five sections, A, B. C, D, and E. Our Homeroom teachers were Mrs. M. D. Cherry, Mr. V. Adair, Mr. K. Wright, Mrs. M. B. Collins and Mrs. E. U. Jones. During our freshman year, we were under the leadership of Mr. F. W. Brickhouse, Mrs. M. B. Collins, and Mr. E. Busch. We were represented in the Homecoming Activities by Joyce Richardson and Brenda Bailey. In September 1960, we entered Northampton as determined Sophomores with our minds wide awake for the future. Our advisors were Miss K. Y. Hayes, Mr. E. Busch, Jr., and Mr. F. W. Brickhouse. Our Homecoming representative was Mignon Holland. In September 1961, we entered school as Juniors, under the guidance of Mr. D. O. Polk, Mr. F. W. Brickhouse and Mrs. E. S. McCuller. We were represented in the Annual Homecoming Activities by Rachel Smith and Mary Fisher who was crowned Miss Homecoming. Again we returned to Northampton County High School, but with a different outlook on life, for finally we were Dignified Seniors. We were divided into three groups and were placed under the guidance of Mrs. S. Phifer, Mr. Odis Kornegay, and Mr. E. Busch, Jr. We were represented in the Home¬ coming Activities by Barbara Baker, who was the Runner-up for Miss Homecoming. We the members of the Senior Class of 1963, would like to express our deep gratitude to our parents, principal, and faculty who have worked so diligently with us to make our future a success. SENIOR CLASS PRAYER We thank thee Almighty God, for those things which were necessary in helping us obtain this our goal. We are most grateful for our Principal, Teachers, Parents and Friends, who have given us courage and inspiration throughout the years. OLord, as we leave this institute of learning, help us to seek knowledge, love and most of all an understanding which will help us meet this challenging world of tomorrow. Amen Joyce Richardson 24
