“
Our high school days lead us along a path of hu- man understanding by which we gain friends, develop our minds, and receive an education which will serve as a background for a more useful life. In this path, the stepping stones to success and prosperity are discovered by those who apply themselves. Many will find it hard to travel, but the memory of lessons learned will linger in their minds, guiding them down the path to a richer and fuller life. 0 Atuj OC CCC£ .4 ? ' ‘ )i6CiU y I fJ ' C - OL.

She has guided us to the solution of many prob- lems, enlarged our perspective, increased our happi- ness, and deepened our characters. Our associations with her analytical mind, her pleasant personality, and her rich moral character have been a vital part of our four high school years. Because of her guid- ance, the class of ' 59 will be better prepared for a larger life. The seniors are happy to dedicate the ' 59 Maccripine to a truly Christian person — Mrs. Ellis Phillips, Jr. [ 4 ] How often the path leading into our South Edegcombe becomes a thoroughfare for happy students developing friendships that will become miemiories to surge through the mind. South Edgecombe shed its lonesome look on Au- gust 26, os students returned from summer vocation ready to begin a new year. The students were eager to meet the new principal, to renew old friendships, and to make new ones. Determining the schedules and deciding on extracurricular activities played an important part in beginning the new year. The first week showed an enrollment of 227 students. Foflowing the custom of recent years, the schedule was set up with 100-minute class periods. Because of this, it takes two days to cover the classes. For example, on Monday, a typical junior might have English III, agriculture, American history, and activity per ' od. Then on Tuesday, study hall, geometry, typing, and activity. The activity periods are filled with Glee Club, athletics, and various club meetings. Nancy Langley, president of the student body, introduces the new principal, Mr. Coye Lewis, to the assembly. Jimmy Brown, a senior, shows Frankie Abrams, a freshman, the work lat lies ahead of him while at South Edgecombe. Jennie Sue Martin and Marshall Dunn seem to be getting the full treatment as the F.H.A. and the F.F.A. initiate their new freshm n members. [ 6 ] an Nancy Langley (seated).. Dean Dunn, and Betty Gardner experience the thrill of really speaking French to one an- other in their play Pouvez-Vous Lire?

Biology. Juandine Bell and Evelyn Moore examine their materials before beginning to sew. Both girls ore in their third year of home economics which deals with the more difficult fundamentals of sewing. Home Economies III. Another enjoyable part of the home economics course is cooking. Linda Cale and Joan Hinson learn how to plan and to cook a balanced meal and how to set a table correctfy. This makes for practical preparation for future home life. Home Economies III.

Vel Everette, Barbara Proctor, Johnny Weaver, ancJ Carey York observe Bobby Abrams, president, as he gives the keys to the vice- president, Evelyn Moore, during the induction service. The South Edgecombe Chapter of the Notional Beta Club inducted eight new members at the beginning of the school year. These new members came from the junior class. A very inspiring induction service was held in assembly, centering around the keys of achievement, char- acter, leadership, and service. Under the guidance of Mr. Juron, the Beta Club sold license plates. These came in the school ' s colors of blue and gold with the words S.E.H.S. Dragons printed on them. Students seemed very enthusi- astic over these plates. The Beta Club also was in charge of the student store every morning. This has been one of their projects for the past three years. Very informative programs were given once a month at the club ' s regularly- scheduled meeting. an d citizendli ip. After the induction service, Barbara Pittman, Phyllis Wooten, Betsy Clark, Dean Dunn, Marion Sumerlin, and Linda Proctor discuss Beta certifi- cates.

For the first time in the history of the school, boys decided to join in the fun of singing. The result has been good because their contribution added much to the quality of music. Twice a week, the eighty members met in the auditorium at activity period for Glee Club practice. During the year they enjoyed singing popular music and also selecting and preparing songs for the Christmas and Spring concerts. The Glee Club en- tertained the student body at different times of the year in assembly. One of the most valuable contri- butions that the club made to the school was the music that they presented during both the Commence- ment programs. putd liearL in tAr%.

The club members have carried out many projects on clothing, home ground beau- tification, recreation, food preparation, poultry, and safety in form electrification. One of the outstanding events came when the South Edgecombe Club served as hosts to the other clubs of Edgecombe County on Achievement Day. Bobby Ed- wards, president of Edgecombe County Council, presided. The program centered around the theme: The 4-H Rocket to the Planet of Success. The main purpose of Achievement Day is to recognize out- standing members by presenting awards. Certificates of achievement, bonds, or checks were given to about 60 people.

After a student has found the desired book, he must check it out with the desk assistant who will remove the card from the book, add the student ' s name and the dote, and file it in the date specified. Shirley Summerlin and Linda Proctor cheek a book out for Linda Pittman and give her the needed information in order that she may return the book on time. There ' s nothing in the library that brightens the rcom more than the gaily colored bulletin board. Marcene Respess, Brenda Forbes, and Lynn Edmond- son, prepare another of the displays designed to In- crease reading interest. Mrs. Leon Griffin, librarian, directs the girls in the task of keeping the 3,000 books reody for use. Putting books in numerical and alphabetical order helps any student who Is looking for a book. Jean Wooten, Barbara Proctor, Joan Hinson, and Grace Lewis seem to be enjoying themselves as they put to work the system they learned at the Library Club meetings. If it ' s a book you ' re looking for, there ' s no better way to find it than by going to the card catalogue. Judy Edmondson, Phyllis Wooten, and Carol Wooten find the catalogue a great help when a student is in search of a specific book, author, or information concerning the book. Dean Dunn, editor; Johnny Weaver, assistant editor; and Mrs. Ella Parker, adviser; discuss the various layouts prepared by staff members for the dummy. Hours upon hours have been spent by the staff members working to make the 1959 Maccripine the best yearbook yet. Countless afternoons were filled with picture planning. Monday nights were spent planning and drawing lay- outs, cropping pictures, writing copy, and adding the final touches. Not only did the members work hard but they had fun as well. As a result, another happy and thrilling year has been recorded — one to be treasured not only by the staff but by everyone. Every staff member feels he has gain- ed much by being able to help put the Maccripine together. There is the thrill of satisfaction that comes from completing a worthwhile job. He has also gained the ability to understand and appreciate the work that goes into the making of any book. W. accripine mem Joe Pat Tolson gives Meredith Webb his okay of the posters to be used in the hall. These circulation managers wrote and directed a skit to promote MAC- CRIPINE sales. Business managers, Vel Everette and Marlon Sumerlin, check copy for ads in the ad dummy. This is only part of their tremendous job of keep- ing the finances of the yearbook in order. Layout editors, Myrno Harrell and Nancy Langley, play paper dolls before drawing a layout. Mr. E. E. Phillips, Jr., local photogra- pher, has spent many hours making pictures for the yearbook. The staff deeply ap- preciates his patience. Sports editors, Bobby Edwards and Carey York, discuss the layout for the 1958 baseball page. These boys have the job of planning the entire sports section. Leir lieartA into liourA of work. Typists, Sandra Bridgers and Barbara Pittman, have been very efficient.

The powerful Dragons rolled to a 23-2 regular season record before bowing to tough Zeb Vance in the district playoffs. During the season, they de- feated such strong teams as Maury and Red Oak. After capturing the Edgecombe County Tournament title, they carried home the first-place trophy. The Dragonettes posted a final record of 13-12 for the seasonal campaign. They were runners-up in the county tournament, losing to perennial cham- pion, West Edgecombe, in the finals. By virtue of their efforts, the runner-up trophy now rests in the South Edgecombe trophy case. Doing an outstanding job in his sophomore year of coaching, was coach Ronald Baker.

Just as they were all ready to leave, the coach would say, No ball today, boys; it ' s raining too hard.

Clary Superintendent of Edgecombe County Schools A.B., M.A., University of North Carolina During the two years that Mr. M. S. Clary has served as superintendent of the Edge- combe County schools, he has given his time, talents, and energies to developing better educational opportunities for all youth. Much of his effort has gone toward getting a bond issue passed that would make possi- ble a better program for the county. Over- crowded classrooms make new buildings a necessity in many areas. He is very grate- ful to the citizens for their splendid support which indicated their great interest. One result of the passing of the bond issue will be the realization of a long-time dream — the consolidation of the three elementary schools of the South Edgecombe District. The new buildings will be placed on the South Edgecombe High School campus. Mr. Clary is enjoying studying the archi- tect ' s drawings for the proposed buildings. Mr. James T.

She has a winning smile and lovely brown hair and eyes. Her many questions indicate an inquiring mind. Kay ' s interests are quite varied. They range from standing at the piano singing her favorite song, Sugar Time, to playing nurse, dancing, and listening to stories. Being very feminine, Kay is interested in clothes. She likes all colors and they are equally becoming. If Kay could have her way, hamburger would be served for breakfast, lunch and dinner — along with vanilla ice cream for dessert! An ambitious little lady, Kay is already thinking of her future. Some day she plans to be a nurse and give shots to adults like the ones she has had to take. However, she might be a beautician, because much of her time is spent in front of a mirror combing her hair. WEBB BROS.
