Some other time?? The members of English 12 B-5 are listening at- tentively, and sympathetically, as Ida Mae Haddock makes her senior theme talk, knowing full well that their time is coming soon! Q, Mlle. Craighill and her French students seek the great outdoors as in- spiration for study. Here we find them celebrating Le lour de l'arbrc under the only available tree on our new campus. Wonder how many members of Vingt sur Vingt are in this crowd? Rocky Mount Senior High School is also the scene of much mental activity. Here the wide variety of courses offered gives each student the opportunity to discover and pursue his own scholastic interest, whether it be college preparatory, commer- cial, industrial arts, homemaking, distributive education, or a general course of study. If a student wishes to elect courses out- side his particular program of study, he may choose from the following: journalism, creative writing, government, psycho- logy, dramatics, chorus, band, art, a foreign language, physical education, a commercial subject, a science, homemaking, mathematics, or an industrial arts elective. Senior High offers a varictl social prugrnm, :intl all students are en- coumgeil to prirticipate. Thc full season is nlxviiys highlighted by the Homecoming Dance and thc Christmas Party. This year the Sock Hops proved a successful feature of the VVintcr Season, and spring brought the wonderful Iunior-Senior, class parties and innumerable picnics.

University of North Carolina lt is with great pleasure that I extend greetings to the student body of Senior High School, particularly to the members of the graduating class. Your class was the first to occupy the new plant as sophomores. I am sure you have enjoyed to the fullest the privilege of attending school at this modern plant. As you leave us to enter broad fields of service and training, you can be assured that our best wishes and prayers will go with you. D. S. IOHNSON, Superintendent This edition of the Hi-Noc-Ar is a glowing record of the achievements, honors, and distinctions of all our students. It is an enviable record and compares most favorably with any in the entire history of our school. This book presents a vivid account of the hardships and the pleasures that combine to mold the citizens of tomorrow. Herein also may be found a deserving trib- ute to the teachers who have strived valiantly to train the minds, morals, and manners of a generation of leaders. Likewise this volume stands as a monument dedicated to the manifold accomplishments of our Seniors. For them this book is filled with pleasant memories of four fruitful years of activities and associations on our campus. To our graduates we bid farewell and Godspeed. To our underclassmen we wish for you continued success in the years ahead. C. M. EDsoN, Principal Z 44 'M f7f1f f 'I-,,.. ,,,., W MIOOLIWDTJIH V A E 1247 iii H Q Sp-1 ,-Si A MRS. A. B.

Second semester rolled around and we elected our first president, Mariah Jane Parker. She did a wonderful job helping to organize our class into one great big team and pulled us through out first magazine campaign with flying colors. That year after we learned parliamentary procedure from Miss Kitchin, most of us decided to become Con- gressmen. Lillian Daughtridge brought a big honor to our class when she was crowned Miss Print of 1953. As the year was drawing to a close we had our first class party, the Freshman Frolic. Every- one enjoyed all the wonderful food and fun We had at the Wiener roast. 39 'TF Edward Milton Dickens Adrian Bradley Dozier Mary Frances Edmunds Milton Bradley Mary Frances Easy going Optimistic Friendly Amusing Fun-loving Attractive George Calvin Dixon Euthena Bryan Driver Bobby Eugene Edwards George Una Bobby Hard worker Agreeable Sincere Capable Hard-worker Ambitious THE SENIOR CLASS The Sophomore year was probably the stormiest with biology and geometry causing some of us to Wonder ii We Would make it.

The Fresh- man F rolic was such a success that the same idea was adopted immediately as the theme for our Sophomore Hop.

Now, as we turn another page of our log, we see a long list of many activities and great honors for our Junior year. We had passed the halfway mark and by now most of us were pretty smooth sailors. That year Fred Ruben and Tommy Vaughan were at the helm as our class presidents. Ginger Roney represented our school as an Azalea Festival Prin- cess and was also Maid of Honor in the junior- Senior Beauty Court. We were quite fortunate in having a German teacher, Miss Ursula Kanzow, as a visitor to our school for a month.

We spent many exhausting hours planning the banquet and decorating the gym for the Junior- Senior. Our theme was 'Springtime in Paris and we know that all the messieurs and mademoiselles enjoyed themselves as they danced to the soft, dreamy music of the Southerners. Our honors did not stop with the close of school. Fay Batts was elected Governor of Girls, State and represented North Carolina at Girls' Nation in Washington, D. C. Fred Ruben, as State Treasurer of the N.C.S.C.C., went to the meeting of the National Association of Student Councils in Ardmore, Pa. 44 :ff -' . f.. , t I Km . ,Q if' ' ffl 2 Dorothy Louise Matthews Dottie Nice smile Gracious Catherine Page McLaml1 Cathrrinr- Sweet Thoughtful Patsy Anne Mellor Patsy Friendly Reliable Bruce Carlton Miller B .

Yes, we ourselves became those upper class- men known as Seniors! It was a wonderful feeling! The year was quite full with Banks Currin and Dan Johnson as our presidents. We added more honors to our already overwhelming list. Fred Ru- ben was the President of the Student Organization and did a Wonderful job. We put on a big show when we played host to the North Carolina Stu- dent Council Congress. Kathryn Batten was named the D.A.R. girl.

Ol' Saint Nick was mighty good to the Seniors and to Norma Bulluck when he crowned her Miss Print of 1956. Banks Currin, Norma's campaign manager, was named Mr. Rocky Mount High. Our class seems to be full of future military men. Luke Landin and Rodney Pittman received nominations for the Air Force Academy in Denver, and Tommy Vaughan received an appointment to Annapolis with Pat Weaver and Ray Joyner receiving alternate ap- pointments. jimmy Davis was in there too, receiv- ing an appointment to take the exams for the Coast Guard Academy.

THE SENIGR CLASS many letters and sent us pictures. We can never forget the wonderful seasons our football and bas- ketball teams had and we were mighty proud of all our Seniors who helped make this possible. The last few days flew by with final exams, Senior Day, jr.-Sr. Dance, Senior Breakfast, P.T.S.A. supper and at last the big night came when we all marched down the aisle as the members of the 1956 graduating class! Golly, didn't we have a great class? As we go forth into the world as the young citizens of Amer- ica, we shall never forget the dear ol' golden rule days in the best school, R.M.S.H.S., and in the best town in the U.S.A., Rocky Mount!

The of- ficers, committee chairmen, and members of the assembly serve to lead and represent the students in all phases of school life-locally and in co-operation with larger groups. The year 1955-'56 has been a banner year for the R. M. S. H. S. Student Organization. In the summer of 1955 our President Fred Ruben attended the convention of the Na- tional Association of Student Councils in Ardmore, Penn- sylvania. In October our Student Organization played host to the North Carolina Student Council Congress, In No- vember our Organization for the first time sent representa- tives to the Convention of the Southern Regional Association meeting in Columbia, S. C. The Student Store this year under the capable manage- ment of Kathryn Batten has expanded its services to the students. Though profit is being constantly reinvested in new supplies, the store is now well-established as a success- ful Student Organization project. The Social Committee with the financial help and advice of the P. T. S. A., the Kiwanis Club, the Junior Guild, and other groups in town has worked diligently to lay the foun- dation for an expanding social program for Rocky Mount Youth. Plans are now being made to bring a foreign exchange Shown checking the minutes of a previous meeting are our Student Organization officers who played a big part in the year's work. They are, left to right: Tommy Vaughan, Treasurer: Pat Parrish, Secretary: Fred Ruben, President: Miss Kate Parks Kitchen, Advisor: Ray Joyner, Vice-President: and Dan Boone, Parliamentarian. To Encourage Interest In All Recognized Schoo Guided by the President's Cabinet, the Student Organization successfully completed many projects during the year.

If this project can be successfully concluded, the promise and benefits are great. For the third time a Student Directory was published, but for the first time all copies were distributed! Othcr committees have functioned adequately. Voting per- centages in school elections have been high. The Lost and Found Committee has operated daily. The Traffic and Fire Drill Committees have fulfilled their constitutional obli- gations. The House and Grounds Committee has made an effort to inspire greater pride in the care of our building and grounds. The Publicity Committee has continued the weekly publication of Hi-Litre in The Evening Telegram. The regular weekly assemblies have been held. The Student Organization co-sponsored the choir's presen- tation of Victor Herbert's The Fortune Teller and contrib- uted to the aesthetic and financial success of that under- taking. The Student Organization met squarely the challenge of failing cafeteria patronage. With the voluntary co-operation of all students, the number of plates served daily in the cafeteria was substantially increased. The cafeteria was not closed! The work of the Student Organization demands daily planning and effort. The degree of success it has enjoyed is the result of co-operative effort. Rocky Mount Senior High School is a better school than it could otherwise be.

Well, we did-and this book is the result. The toy of beginning at last, the courage to approach a prospective advertiser, the thrill of selecting a theme and seeing thc layout take shape. the seriousness of choosing the one to whom the book is dedicated. the fun of setting up pictures for Iames and Bugs, the effort spent on copy that wasn't used, the fear of that last big deadline-all these were THE 195 Fred and Miss Murk , Advisor, check pictures with Bettie Ann Whitehurst while Tommy Vaughan and Fay Baths watch Adam Maples tear up one of Bug's cameras. fc .... , etc .... a part of our yerir's work.

We wish to thank everyone who contributed in any way to thisfa banner year in athletics! The Athletic Staff New athletic director C. V. Lundy and new head football coach C. C. Cleetwood discuss the athletic situation for the com- ing year after assuming their new positions. W0uldn't the other coaches in the conference liked to have known their strategy? Athletics are great, but let us remember they are a means and not an end. With the coaches of Rocky Mount High School sports are a teaching medium through which we strive to teach the lessons we should like to have taught to our own children. High school athletics are big but not ever big enough to get out of their rightful place in the educational program. In the narrow sense we hope to teach a boy to block, tackle, pivot, dribble, hit a baseball and many other finer points of the game. But if this is all we teach, no matter how competent we make him, we have not been successful. We, in the broader sense, wish to be more than coaches of football, basketball, or baseball. We wish to be teachers of boys. We are as interested in the welfare of our boys as we are in the winning of our games. To be successful we feel we must be educators, guides, leaders, and counselors of boys. We are as in- terested in the complete education of the boy as we are in educating him in sports. We do believe in winning. Winning Spirit, we want it. Through athletics we hope to prepare a boy to wage a victorious battle against life's problems. We believe the athletic program, properly run, teaches a person to discipline himself mentally and emotionally, The development of the intellectual life alone is not sufficient. With the help of athletics we hope to teach a boy to live with, not just among, his fellow men. 1 Co-Captains Fred Harris and Pat Warren look at the Shelton Looms Trophy which the team won from Wilson this year.

This record included one heart- breaking one pointu loss to Durham and was high- lighted by a 3 touchdown victory over a Salisbury team later to become state champions.

Coaches Lundy and Cleetwood, along with Co-captains Gilbert and Stallings, admire the Tobacco Land Tourney Trophy won this year by Rocky Mount. Rocky Mount High School started its 1955-56 basketball season off in a most inauspicious manner, by losing. With two regulars, Bunny Bell and Don Stallings in Charlotte to play with the Shrine Bowl Football Team, Henderson de- feated the Blackbirds. With eight lettermen returning from the previous year, it was generally conceded things would get better and in- deed they did and in a big way. The team won its next eight games, the last three of which brought our team the Championship of the first annual Tobaccoland Basketball Tournament. The Blackbirds defeated Wilson 70-63 in the championship round to walk off with the trophy. At press time the record for the 1955-56 Blackbird hoop- sters stands at 11-3 and they are tied for second place in the conference race. The other two losses suffered by the team since the opening game loss were both two point de- feats and were real heartbreakers. The team has its eyes on a place in the State AAA Tournament and is set to battle it out during the remainder of a hotly contested conference race to be one of the four qualifying teams.

Defenders Ol Th This year's baseball team was one of the strongest in the conference. Showing a lot of hustle and enthusiasm they went through a tough schedule ranked in the very top bracket. As a Whole, the batting average was very gomlq and when checking for errors in the total amount of games you find a surprising figure. Coach Staley proved to be a very successful leatlerg and the boys cnjoyecl working with him.

A newcomer. Butch VVcaycr. was a great help as the team had one of the best records gi team could ask for. By playing together the team always made the best of every opportunity that came their way. Fred Ruben proved to be the leader of the squad. The other members were always striving to best his game and get his position. It was a close race and the boys were always pretty even in their standings. Coach Bill Lundy and Fred Ruben discuss the care of a tennis racket. The Thrill Of Individual Competition Tennis team for the year was, left to right: Bradley Dozier, Butch Weaver, Sonny Cherry and Stanley Kornfeld Ed Iusta and Haywood Edmundson make their Adam Maples and Don Harris take it easy in way out of trouble. the wide open spaces. The golf team for 1956 proved to be as strong as ex- pected with the continued strength of Don Harris, Ed Iusta, and Adam Maples. A newcomer. Haywood Edmundson. was counted upon and fulfilled his position. This year was no exception as far as records go: Rocky Mount's golf team was ranked among the top three. The new coach, Horace Felton. was a little inexperi- enced but proved to be a fine director. His interest was renewed as he accepted the new position. Benvenue Country Club Pro, Palmer Maples, gives instructions to the golf team. Enioying The Sport Of Presidents IK ff L Harish. 'l?
