Tarboro High School - Tar Bo Rah Yearbook (Tarboro, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1951 volume:

FOREWORD High school days pass quickly and records are written on the pages of time and memory. For some these cherished pages are almost at an end; but for others they have barely yet begun. That which is written can not be changed. Those trials and pleasures of your high school days will remain unchanged. In publishing this annual, we kept one goal in mind. That goal — to try to recapture memories of those wonderful days and present them to you for view. If we have succeeded in our attempts then we feel justified in saying well done. DEDICATION We, the Senior Class, dedicate the 1951 Tar-Bo -Rah, with our fondest admiration, to Mr. A. W. James, for his capable guidance in making our Junior year possible, prosperous, and the best year yet MA Columbia Un PRINCIPAL Mr. M. M. Wetzel B.S.

This was the time when we first explored the mysteries of reading and writing. ' This was a very trying experience but as we were young and willing to learn, it was soon conquered. For eight long years we applied what we learned that first year, adding more each year for the time when we would become Freshmen in high school At last this time came First we were Freshmen. Most of us felt the same way that first day as we did on thaf long ago day in September, 1939. We were, according to the Sophomores, the most stupid Freshmen in years. The one thing that was hardest for us to learn was that we still had rules and these had to be obeyed. To help us with this we had Mr. Hugh Cox and Mr. B. J. Mickleson, as our teachers, and Leroy Sasser, as our class president. Then we were Sophomores. This year Mrs. Morse and Mrs. Blackburn were to help us over the bumps. Again Leroy Sasser was president of the class. The two most outstanding things that hap- pened were the selecting of our classrings and the Halloween Carnival. The money from the Carnival was to be used for our far off Junior-Senior. It wasn ' t as far off as we thought. Next we were Juniors. Many of our classmates had fallen out by now. Miss Louise Tunstall had left us due to the sickness of her mother but in her place came one of our best loved teachers, t Mr A W. James We elected David Miller class president. This year we had many important things to do. The first big job to come to us was Stunt Night. This was easy compared to the next job, that of the Junior Play. The money from these two was used to finance the last and hardest job of all, the Junior-Senior. We had to work to get this put over, not only for just the weeks before it came off but for years before. After the gym was all ready for the big night we were very proud of the good work that had been done. Everyone said the gym looked better than they had ever seen it. To finish the year right we got our rings. Now we are Seniors. At the beginning of the year it seemed sfrange not to have anyone to look up to as we had done for the last three years. We have many things to do but under the leadership of Miss Hales, our teacher, and Jimmy Thomason, our president, how can we fail to do all well? Among our projects are getting over the Annual, going to Washington, the Senior Play, and the most impor- tant thing of all— GRADUATION. Now we realize that it wasn ' t all work but almost all pleasure, and if -you feel discouraged, remember you will get there in the end — we did. Edna English Class Historian 1. PROPHECY Dear Miss Hales, As you were the teacher of our Senior Class of 1950-51, I thought you might like to know what became of all your students. By mere coincidence, I happened to come across an old photo of our class the other day after I came from work. Incidentally, I work as a receptionist. Naturally when I saw that picture, the first thing I asked myself was, Where could they be now, and how can I find out? Of course, I already knew where a few of them were. For instance, Alma Mitchell and Phyllis Fowler are both models at Miller and Rhoads in Richmond; Edith Sutton is still in Tarboro and is doubling as both a housewife and a secretary; Billy Edmondson and Charles Fisher are the two most prosperous farmers in Edge- combe County; Billie Bateman and Cynthia Mahler are working as a welfare worker and a teacher at a famous orphanage, respectively; and, as everyone probably knows, Curtis Weaver is a retired mil- lionaire (The lucky thing 1 ) However, I still wondered what had become of the rest of our class. One person I remembered though was Mae Hathaway, who always wanted to be an Air Line Hostess. After inquiring about, I found, to my amazement, that she is a hostess at LaGuardia Airport. I was delighted because I knew her work must help her to meet many people and, perhaps, she had met some of the class. I wrote her a letter and received an answer only three days later. The number of pupils she had met was far beyond my expectations. Mae told me in the letter that Ed Brown is now a very famous interior deco- rator; Estelle Osborne ' s romance with her wealthy boss is the highlight of the gossip columns in the New York papers; Bill Edwards is a Professor of Biology at Harvard University; Barbara Newsome sings at the Stork Club; and Nick Johnson is a very successful lawyer, whose secretary is Jean Jenkins. Mae ' s information was very encouraging and I kept trying to discover where the rest of the class was Luck was with me; for the next day I met Daisy O ' Neal, who is home on vacation. She works as a stenographer in Washington. I knew she was a friend of Jimmy Thomason and inquired about him Finding that he was a Jet Pilot, I wrote him immediately. His answer was every bit as helpful as Mae ' s. I discovered that he knew where many of the girls were because he always was a Romeo. He said that Sybil Spain is a nurse at Johns Hopkins and Bar- bara Clark is a nurse at Duke; Ruby Bazemore, Betty Jean O ' Neal, and Evelyn Evans are all highly paid secretaries; and Alice Oates is a typist. Jimmy did a bit of scouting for me and found that Leroy Sasser is the football coach at Carolina. From Frisco, he gathered the fact that Tom Holland is a school teacher. Imagine that 1 He also found that John Price is, of all things, a mortician; David Miller is an engineer; J. P. Harrell is an expert mechanic; Edna English is a science teacher in a Raleigh school; Joyce Causey is now a music teacher; and Dick Batchelor, a highway patrolman, gave Jeanne Briggs a ticket for speeding. Miss Hales, I know you will be just as proud of our class as I am. I think they all did wonderful A friend gave me your address, but I still don ' t know what you are doing. Are you still teaching? I would like to know, so please answer. Forgot to mention Bobby Clark, but he is sweeping the floor on third shift at Hart Cotton Mills.

To Mr. Wetzel: we leave a student body that appreciates all the wonderful things that he has done for them. To Miss Hales we leave our many thanks for her efforts in trying to prove to us that we were growing up. To Mr. Wolfe we leave a football team that will always prove worthy of his guidance. ARTICLE II TO THE JUNIORS, we leave our privileges and hope that they will never do anything to make the school board even think about taking them away from them. TO THE SOPHOMORES, we leave the realization that you are growing up and soon will be on your own. TO THE FRESHMEN, we leave the realization that the first leg of the long, hard journey is done and the small hills have been passed, but with a little hard work, you can turn this rocky road into a smooth one. ARTICLE III To certain students I, Billie Bateman, do will and bequeath my daintiness to Betty Johnson. I, Edna English, do will and bequeath my athletic ability to Carolyn Kara I, Estelle Osborne, do will and bequeath my flirtatious ways to Shirley Roberson. I, Daisy O ' Neal, do will and bequeath my love for dancing to Catherine Taylor. I, Bobby Clark, do will and bequeath my athletic ability to Carolyn Karn I, Barbara Jean Clark, do will and bequeath my bashfulness to Margueritte Johnson. I, Jimmy Thomason, do will and bequeath my way with girls to Philip Koonce. I, Mae Hathaway, do will and bequeath my dignified ways to Jo Ann Meeks. We, the senior class of Tarboro High School, have put our hands and seals on this the thirteenth day of December, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty.
