THE 1938 TAR-BO-RAH IT HAS HAPPENED HERE First Edition 1938 FOREWORD The companionship of books — what greater gift have we received from our high school eciucation? Books are true friends giving us pleasure, information, and ideals. Therefore, it is in the form of a book that we are presenting here the history of the Class of 1938. To Sinclair Lewis ' s much publicized book It Can ' t Happen Here, we are indebted for the suggestion of our title It Has Happened Here. INTRODUCTION In 1927 a group of six year olds — some timid and nervous, others boister- ous and bold — assembled for the first time under the roof of a school building. From these early school days of A, B, C ' s and 1, 2, 3 ' s, they passed through the maze of multiplication tables, spelling matches, health club charts — all forms of readin ' , writin ' and ' rithmetic until in 1934, they finally became high school freshmen. CHAPTER I — High School Freshmen September 17, 1934 was a green letter day (red letter day to them, but green to those who knew them) for a fresher, greener group had never before entered the portals of the eighth grade. To begin with they thought that since their daily program dropped from nine to four subjects, they would have plenty of time on their hands for play. Consequently, demerits were a common occur- rence in the first six weeks. The group numbered one hundred ten. Without doubt, Mr. Biggers, Mr. Marriott, and Miss Foley were kept busy. This was the first year that the class was represented at commencement. Therefore, Don Nicholson and Anna Winslow felt quite honored to be chosen by the Seniors as Marshals from the Freshman Class. CHAPTER II — High School Sophomores As Sophomores, the Class of 1938 calmed down somewhat Pupils usually try out new teachers, but from the very first minute Miss Octavia Jeter, the home room adviser, walked into the room, those pupils knew that she meant business. As instructor in Ancient History she demanded neat notebooks written in ink on unlined paper, and those she received without question. Miss Sylvia Levy was in charge of one section and they must have worried her terribly, for she left the profession of teaching for that of matrimony. Sophomore Marshals chosen by Seniors this year were Mary Vanicc Laugh- lin and Toby Webb. A high spot in the history of this year was the choosing of sophomore wait- ers and waitresses for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Dressed in costiimes of the Old South. Don Nicholson, Anna Winslow, Clarence Lee Ruffin, Mary Laughlin, Robert Sumerlin, Virginia Parker, Herman Jenkins, Pat Savage, Claude Hart, Carolyn Perritt, Lyn Williamson, and Helen Hall served the guests of the Misses and Massas of the great house in true Southern Style. CHAPTER III— High School Juniors As Juniors, the whole class assembled in one group under the leadership of Miss Jeter. The class will never forget their presentation of a class play, At Page Thirteen THE 1938 TAR-BO-RAH The Sign of The Pewter Jug. This play was primarily to help finance the big event of the year — The Junior-Senior Banquet. For this event, the gymnasium was transformed into a real Mexican Casino. The fiesta was all that could be desired from start to finish. This year Helen Hall, Frances Faucette, Gladys Crisp, Don Nicholson, Clar- ence Ruffin, C. S. Killebrew, and Earl Alexander were granted membership in the National Honorary Beta Club. The Marshals chosen from the Junior class by the Seniors this year were Don Nicholson, Chief Marshal, Virgini a Parker, and Robert Sumerlin. One great event of this year, 1937, was that Tarboro High School was successful in procuring a nine-month school term. CHAPTER IV — The Crowning Event — Seniordom In September, 1 937, the Senior Class assembled in one group with two class advisers. Miss Octavia Jeter and Mrs. Forrest L. Sledge. At the beginning of the year, the class began to look forward to the production of a high school annual. On November 11. Armistice Day — the Class sold Forget-Me-Nots — an annual custom of the Senior Class. This year the French II Class, composed almost entirely of Seniors, or- ganized a French Club with Miss Mobley as leader. Although the gay Parisians might have been a little mystified at the French of the Tarboro Seniors, the club proved to be of much interest and pleasure for the members of the class. It was during this year that the budding musical talent of some of the class members began to bloom forth. Don Nicholson, Charlie Hussey, Clarence Ruffin, Mack Proctor, and Mary Vanice Laughlm became members of the school ' s first orchestra. In the spring of 1938, the play Elmer, starring S. J. Brewer was presented by the class — the first high school program in the new High School Auditorium. On this occasion the Orchestra made its debut, and became popular at once. In February the new class rooms in the High School were ready for occu- pancy — and the lucky Seniors received two of them. On April 7. triangular debates were held. The Class of 1938 is proud of the fact that one of its members, Don Nicholson, has represented Tarboro High in debating four years in succession. Although he has debated at Chapel Hill only once, he has been on the winning side of the debate every year. On April 12, the Seniors observed High School Day at Fast Carolina Teach- ers College, and quite a gala day it was. The busy hum of work on the Tar-BO-Rah was felt throughout the last few months of this term. The president of the Class, Clarence Ruffin, Editor-in-Chief of the Tar-Bo-Rah, Mary Vanice Laughlm, and Business Manager, Edna Hackney, along with photographers, typists, and advertising managers kept the ball rolling until the annual of 193 8 was finally ready for publication. On April 29, the Seniors were entertained by the Juniors at the banquet and dance. The dykes and windmills of Dutchland proved a most delightful setting for one of the happiest events of the school year. The last month of the school year, in addition to much class work, cul- minating in final examination — brought with it many festivities. However, the crowning event of the whole eleven years came on June 3, when diplomas were delivered to a happy group, the Class of 1938. — Earl Alexander.
