The History of the Class of 1948 My high school days are over! Yes, for the last time I have been to my classes ot study in my first alma mater. Looking back over my years at Tar- boro High School, I remember them as being happy and carefree. The cares and worries that befell my class and me during those years seem only vague now, although at the time of their occurrence they seemed insurmountable. It is hard to imagine what the future will hold. Along the way to graduation what the future might bring never occurred to many of us; but for one thing, we should feel grateful — always we will be able to remember our happy school days. The fall of the year nineteen hundred and forty-four, when my class entered Tarboro High School as Freshmen, seems only a very short time ago. There were seventy-one ot us lingering throughout the building that morning. While waiting for school to take in, we tried to appear casual, or even indifferent, as did the Seniors of that year. Yet, we were only poor innocent Freshmen, and even the sudden ringing of the first bell startled us. It was not until we had made many silly blunders and mistakes that we found ourselves in our homerooms. Those rooms, in which Mrs. Thelma Morse and Miss Mary Poole directed us, became havens to us, for it was only when in those rooms that we were not constantly confronted with evidence of our greenness. Finally, however, the days began to calm, and our school life be- came more normal. About this time another grade, the twelfth, was being added. In the next year there would be no Senior Class. Therefore, it was in our first year that the Sophomore-Senior Banquet and Dance was held. It was the high spot of the year for many of us because some of us were allowed to take part in that affair. It is true that we were only waiters and waitresses at the banquet, but we felt it an honor to serve our upperclassmen. Soon after that gala affair, our Freshman days were over, and we moved up to take our place as Sophomores. During the preceding year some of our classmates had left our class, leaving sixty ot us, but we had gained confidence in ourselves. Our first year in high school had done much for us. We no longer felt interior. Our Sophomore year was a quiet one and as things hummed busily - along, we were caught in the current of activity. With Miss Mary Elizabeth Austin and Mrs. Anna Newbold to guide us, we worked hard the entire term so that we might become Juniors the following fall. When at last we became Juniors, still more members had left our class. Under the able guidance of Miss Louise Tunstall and Mr. John Rudisill, we had our busiest year. It was a year of plays, carnivals, and contests to raise funds for the Junior-Senior banquet and Dance which we were planning. So busy were we,- in fact, we failed to realize that we were about to become Seniors. Then, suddenly, almost as if overnight, we discovered that we had become the Dignified Seniors of Tarboro High School. Though we had dwindled in number from seventy-one to thirty-seven, under the watchful guidance of Miss Dorothaleen Hales, we sailed smoothly through our final and most important year. We had attained our goal! It was gratifying to know that we had suc- cessfully completed our first major task in life. Yes, those happy days are past and now we can turn toward the future — the future which holds so many unknown things for us. Charles Sexton, Class Historian. -4 17 fa-
