For eight years we had watched our older brothers and sisters who went to high school. We had listened to mysterious talk of class periods, study halls, oral reports, term papers, and play practices. Sometimes they grumbled over these things and we wondered why- -wouldn ' t it be wonderful to be in high school- -grown up! In 1948 we entered the promised land, a group of somewhat shy individuals known as Freshmen. At first, it was all so big--so vague--so jumbled in our minds. Soon the halls became smaller and we no longer had to carry our schedules around with us to remember whether it was the library or a class room in which we were to have a class next period. We were capably led through our first year by Mr. Hugh Cox, Mrs. Cora N. Turner, and Mr. Worth Wicker. They helped us to adjust ourselves to this new, and entirely different, way of life. Gene Morris was elected as our class president and very efficiently directed us through this trying year. Our first year passed. From shy, innocent Freshmen we became Sophomores. Probably our greatest undertaking during our high school career until our Junior year was the Halloween Carnival which is sponsored each year by the Sophomore class. We used the proceeds of this Carnival to help us in putting on the Junior -Senior the following year. Gene Morris was again elected as our class president; and our faculty advisors were Mrs. Rena Blackburn, Mrs. Thelma Morse, and Mr. Ralph K. Ingram. Having completed one more step on our long journey, we now became Juniors. At the begin- ning of this year, our busiest and happiest one, we received our rings. We elected Philip Koonce to lead us through our many undertakings and he was very capable in doing so. Our faculty advisors during this year were Mr. W. H. Durham and Mr. A. W. James, both of whom left before the year was completed. Mr. James was replaced by Miss Carol Street, and Mr. Durham was replaced by Mrs. Helen Martin, who was later replaced by Mrs. Bruce Gay. During this year we sponsored the Stunt Night activities, the Junior Play, Gabriel Blow Your Horn , and the long awaited Junior -Senior Banquet and Dance. And now we had reached the final step of our journey. We were Seniors! Gene Morris once again led us through a most successful year assisted by Miss Dorothaleen Hales and Miss Frances Taylor. Our greatest achievement during this, our final year, was the publishing of the annual. We sponsored the Senior Play with great success. Then came the Junior-Senior, and we were the guests of the Juniors, this being our reward for completing four long years in Tarboro High School. We have worked, played, studied- -with the one goal in view- -GRADUATION. At last it has come! We are now high school graduates. The goal we have worked toward for twelve years has been reached. We are through! No, not through--we are just beginning! Geraldine Davenport Historian
