So endeth our third year and now our fourth year. We are Seniors! A long awaited year has come at last-19503 now everyone is eagerly waiting for gradu- ation. Our class officers are Mildred Whitaker, presidentg Edith Bryant, Vice- presidentg Maezolla Whitaker, secretary, Vernell Boddle, assistant secretary, and Fannie Knight, treasurer. The senior class along with the other students at Phillips, participated in the Library Drive. The class was crowned because it raised more money than any other class. Vernell Boddie won first prize for raising more money than any other stu- dent in the school. The biggest program that the senior class sponsored during the first of the year was a one-act play entitled, 'Dumb Dora.' The program was a success and afforded much entertainment for everyone who saw it. Our student council is still in progress doing many wonderful things for the school. The members of our class in the student council this year are Vernell Boddie, presidentg Robert Scott, vice-president, Doris Lowe, secretary, James Whitehead, treasurer. The representatives are Ethel Cofield, Carolyn Powell, and Mildred Whitaker. Leslie Bullock, a member of our class with great athletic abilities, was chosen the most valuable player in the Edgecombe County invitational tourna- ment and captain of the all-tournament team, and won a gold trophy. Robert Scott, a young man with great athletic abilities also, was elected as guard of the All-tournament team, and won a gold basketball. We are happily preparing for graduation which will be our final departure from this stage of our High School lives. Although we are happy, but within there comes a sadness in the thought of our saying good-bye to Phillips High and friends whom we love so much. There are only thirty-three of us. Our former classmates gave many reasons for not continuing to the end. Some pre- ferred married life, others said they became tired, while others wanted to go to work, and still others were sent to 'Swift Creek', a new High School in Nash County, thus they could not graduate with us. They were: Cynthia Sessoms Mittie Cutchins, Mattie Battle, Pauline Davis, Pauline Taylor, Pocahontas Powell, Dorethea Garrett, Mack Moore, and Ezra Dickens. This school was built to accomodate the Nash County students. We have now reached an important age in our lives and have received our rewards. Thus we have come to the end of the history of our noble class. Ethel C. Cofield To the members of the class of '51 the Senior class wishes to extend a hearty thanks for such a festive occasion on May 5, 1950. To sponsor a prom is an honor indeed, but we think it far more honorable to be guest. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the affair. Your menu was delicious, guests quite congenial, favors unique, and decorations simply beautiful and aweinspiring. Proms like yours are so easy to remember, but so hard to for- get. Good luck for the future, with a sincere hope that you enjoy your Prom when you become 'Seniors' as much as we enjoyed ours. 'A hearty thanks to you.' Senior Class '50
