RECALLING THE HAPPINESS AND THE SADNESS THE GAINS AND THE LOSSES THE ACTIVITY AND THE LEISURE WHICH HAVE ENVELOPED US IN A CLOUD OF OUR OWN. 5 Mr. Larkin: In the five years that you have been a member of the Washington High School faculty you have worked diligently to set high standards for our Band Department. Not only as Director and faculty member but also as friend you have merited the respect, admiration and gratitude of your students and school associates. We are proud to have on our faculty a man with such qualities of capacity and leadership as yours. Under your direction our Band participat¬ ed in the Inaugural Parade for President Kennedy. It has placed first in three Sun Fun Parades and become National Champion in the Strawberry Festival. Your work with the Band has brought not only pleasure and benefit to your students but also recognition to our school and community. We admire you not only for your earnestness of mind and willingness of heart but most of all for your unceasing efforts for quality in the character of your students as well as in your music. So to you. Mr. James Vann Larkin, we dedicate this 1962 PACKROMAK. 6 We (jive Mrs. Larkin: The students of Washington High School are deeply appreciative of the time and effort which you devote to us and our activities. Your cheerfulness, your good humor, and your efficiency set a fine example for all of us. We particularly admire your willingness to help above and beyond your duty as a teacher, adviser, and friend. Your service as Junior Class adviser and teacher was invaluable in making the Junior Senior Banquet and Dance a success. Under your promotion the Spanish Club has become one of the liveliest and most active organiza¬ tions in the school. Amiability, kindness, broadmindedness, and above all your attractive personality, nake us all love and admire you. Thank you or the spirit you encourage in all phases of mr school activity. It is a pleasure to pass you in the halls, to speak to you and see your twinkling eyes and merry smile. So to you, Mrs. Mary Anne Larkin, we dedicate this 1962 PACKROMAK. Zkis Dedication. 7 Washington High School The students of W.H.S. look to the sky for inspiration. We set our goals high and strive for excellence. We move, ever up¬ ward, always increasing and strengthening our knowledge, values and outlooks. With our hopes in the sky we work to attain our ambitions.

With anticipation of a winning season the Aug can not keep our boys away from football Coaches Wagner, Alligood, and Chapin put them] their paces morning and night six days a we Three days a week Chief, Missy Harrington, leads the Varsity Cheerleaders in their stj practice. A great deal of work has to be done in preparation for that first big game. Mad scientists Grey Winfield and Ernest Larkin perfect their latest discovery . . . guaranteed to blow up the world! Spanish students, Royce Barrow, Lois Cutler, Jane Alligood and Del Miltenberger listen to a tape recording through earphones as Senora Larkin supervises. I Labor Omnia Vincit. Work conquers all; but it is hard to beat the fun these relaxing Latin students are having. Much hard work preceded this annual Latin Club Banquet which is always a great success. 12 Many a delightful meal has been prepared by Home Ec. students. Here Ann Swain, Mary Ann Potts, Tish Sawyer, and Kay Walk¬ er demonstrate techniques learned in class. They say cooking a meal is almost as much fun as eating it. Along with summer fun (trips, parades, and swimming parties) comes the hard summer practice for our outstanding Washington High School Band. Mr. O’Neal and his “kiddies” whiz through many an algeb raic equation, geometric theorem, trigonometric figure . . . and even the problems of the world. Superintendent Edwin X West Scant of education The Board of Education plays an im¬ portant role in the administration of Washington High School. Mrs. C. A. Mann, Mrs. Ernest W. Larkin, Mr. James Bagwell. Mr. Fred Adair, Mr. Wilson Leggett, Mr. Ashley Futrell, Mr. Frank Kugler, and Chairman Leon Thompson give their time and effort freely to obtain what is best for the Washington Administrative School Unit. They meet with Superintendent E. A. West each month to discuss, consider, and take action upon educational mat¬ ters. This is done with one purpose in mind—to provide the young people of Washington with the best possible edu¬ cation. What they are doing in our be¬ half serves as an inspiration to us all. 16 J4 r- Ceon Zkompson MR. KORNEGAY Mr. Kornegay, the principal of Washington High School, leads the faculty as well as supervising the students. By constantly improving the quality of our school, Mr. Korne¬ gay gives the students the advantages of the best possible education. His is also the task of seeing that the school and its functions operate smoothly. Mr. J. G. “Choppy” Wagner, the assistant to the princi¬ pal, is also the head football coach and the adviser to the Boys’ Monogram Club. He does an excellent job in all of these fields, a fact which is reflected in his popularity among the students. Mr. Shep Grist serves Washington High School faithfully as its guidance counselor. Whether a student needs help in planning his high school curriculum, choosing which college to attend, deciding what field to enter upon gradua¬ tion, or if he just wants to talk things over, the door to Mr. Grist’s office is always open. Miss Libby Bowen, the secretary to the principal, man¬ ages all of the correspondence to and from the school, and is also the treasurer of the school. These are two important jobs which she handles very efficiently and very well. Students gather in the office to have permission slips signed, to buy advance football tickets, to see Mr. Kornegay, or to attend to various matters. MR. WAGNER: Assistant Principal MR. GRIST: Guidance Counselor MISS BOWEN: Secretary Mrs. Bobby M. Grimes teaches freshman English and economics and sociology. She graduated from Woman’s College with a B.A. degree. Mrs. Virginia G. Ayscue teaches senior English. She has B.A. and M.A. de¬ grees, having attended Woman ' s College and Apa- lachian State Teacher’s College. Mrs. Lois C. Bingham, junior and senior English teacher, has a B.A. degree from Asbury Col¬ lege. Mrs. Hillard E. Ballar graduated from East Caro¬ lina College with a B.S. de¬ gree. Students listen attentively while Jesse Manning gives his economics report. English is loads of fun for Royce Barrow and Stanley Edwards. To create a better understanding of our English language, the English department strives to teach not only the basic grammar and punctuation, but also the skills of creative writing, public speaking, and vocabulary building. By letting each student participate in group activities such as newspapers, debates, and classroom discussions, these and other skills can be developed. The study of the literature of the English-speaking countries of the world teaches ap¬ preciation of our heritage, a very important goal of this department. Four units of English are required for gradua¬ tion, and this year a course in English Composition was offered in summer school. Cang A favorite pastime for many of the students is taking Latin. 18 Mrs. Ruth Hodges teaches freshman and sophomore English. She graduated from Woman’s College with a B.A. degree. ' inges Mrs. Everette assists pupils doing creative writing in English class. Merlin Woolard and Tootsie Cox utilize Mrs. Ayscue’s dictionary. The Foreign Languages Department includes courses in French, Spanish, and Latin. Although the basic grammar and punctuation are recognized as essential, background studies are also emphasized. By learning about the people and their land and customs, a language can he more fully understood. In the languages where pronunciation is so important, a language laboratory was started this year with plans for im¬ provement in the future. On any given day the students can be seen in the back of the room reciting their lesson. Mrs. Harriet B. Harris, our Latin and French teacher, attended Woman’s College and East Carolina College. She has B.A. and M.A. degrees. Mrs. Mary Anne Larkin has a B.A. degree from Woman’s Col¬ lege. She teaches Spanish. Mrs. Esther G. Everette teaches English, French, and general business. She graduated from Woman’s College with a B.A. degree. Mrs. Mildred C. Boyd who teaches freshman En lish has obtained a B. degree from East Carolina College. I J ' JQ The Department of Math and Sciences has many varied facets, and the student is able to take the courses that would benefit him most. The science courses offered are general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. This year the general science course is taught for thirty minutes via television, and thirty minutes in the classroom per day. The math courses include general business math, algebra, a combination of plane and solid geometry, and fusion math, which is a combination of advanced algebra and trigonometry. The obvious goals of this department are to teach the student the technical skills involved in math, the general pro¬ cedures used in the sciences, and to acquaint him with the physical and numerical laws by which we are governed. There is another goal, however, an ulterior goal, that of teaching the student to really think and to reason. If this goal is reached, the department of math and the sciences has succeeded in accomplishing its purpose. Mrs. Virginia McGrath teaches first and second year algebra, geometry, and general math. She received her A.B. from Woman’s College and her M.A. from Appala¬ chian State Teacher’s Col¬ lege. Mrs. Elks helps her students identify the parts of the sponge. Mr. Jim Blanton teaches chemistry and physics. He has a B.S. degree from Wake Forest College and an M.A. from East Caro¬ lina College. Mr. John T. O’Neal, who teaches general math, algebra, and geom¬ etry, attended East Carolina College. He already has a B.S. degree and will get an M.A. this spring. Miss Myrtie Cooper graduated from East Carolina College, and has B.A. and M.A. degrees. She teaches general math, algebra, and fusion math. Mr. Paul N. Pritchard teaches biology, general science, and physical education. He has a B.A. degree from the State College of Iowa and an M.A. degree from East Carolina College. Zhe Sciences Students work on research papers, history re¬ ports, and various projects in the library under the supervision of Mrs. Worthy. Chemistry labs are an a learning experience demonstration. important part of the science course. Labs are where the students gather infonnation through Charles Knight, Elizabeth Moore, Susie Smith, and Jimmy Buck discuss the human ear. P Urk Mrs. Doris E. Elks, a biology teacher, has obtained a B.A. degree from East Carolina College. vv- L Mrs. Pauline Worthy, our li¬ brarian, holds B.A., B.S., and M. A. degrees. She has attended Winthrop College, Columbia Uni¬ versity, and the University of N. C. Mr. Howard Chapin teach¬ es physical education and civics. He has obtained a B.A. degree from At¬ lantic Christian College. Mr. Bob J. Alligood, who is the teacher of health and physical education in the Junior High School, attended Chowan Col¬ lege, Guilford College, and East Carolina College. He has B.A. and M.A. degrees. Mrs. Leigh Ledbetter graduated from Woman’s College with a B.A. degree. She teaches health and physical education. Mr. James V. Larkin, the hand director, graduated from Davidson College with a B.S. degree. He also has an M.M.E. degree from Florida State University. P.E. teaches sportsmanship as well as the rules of basketball to 8th graders. Music and Mr. Garrard gives students the opportunity to delve into the finer arts of music. 22 Mr. Sam Garrard directs the choir and glee clubs. His B.A. degree is from Baylor Univer¬ sity. The Music Department at Washington High School has as its main objective the development of musical talent in the school. The choral groups and the band are included in this department. They have consistently brought honor to the school through com¬ petition with other choral groups and bands and through the many performances they give during the year. The Ph ysical Education department also includes studies i n health. Health and physical education are combined into one unit of credit, with perhaps a bit more emphasis on physical educa¬ tion. Health classes meet twice a week and P.E. classes meet three times a week. Each physical education class includes calisthenics and organized team sports or gymnastics. The health classes con¬ centrate on studies of the human body, and include studies of alco¬ hol and narcotics. Education The Washington High School Band practices every day at fifth period. This is an unposed shot of the students. Mrs. Ledbetter has just tossed the ball for an exciting intra¬ mural basketball game. Mr. J. M. Worrell teaches Agriculture. He went to N. C. State College and has a B.S. degree. Mr. Bob Langley is the In¬ dustrial Arts and mechanical drawing teacher. He has B.S. and M.A. degrees from North Carolina State College and East Carolina College, re¬ spectively. Mr. Langley supervises a class in mechanical drawing. This was almost a candid shot. Mrs. Tommie G. Glenn, who teaches personal typing and the commercial courses, has a B.S. degree from Woman’s College. Mrs. Sally Talley teaches the commercial courses. She at¬ tended Woman’s College and East Carolina College, and has a B.S. degree. Linda Crisp, Sue Bright, and Jean Wallace seek help from Mrs. Ballard during a clothing lab. i V- Mrs. Carolyn Ballard teaches Home Economics. She went to East Carolina College, and has a B.S. degree. The Department of Useful Arts includes the commercial courses of typing and shorthand, the vocational courses of industrial arts and agriculture, and the practical course of home economics. The courses in typing and shorthand can train students to be typists, stenographers, and secretaries. Many students, however, may not wish to type professionally but would still like to learn to type. This is the purpose of the personal typing course, and this year a course in notehand, a useful new way to take notes, is being offered. The goal of the industrial arts courses is to teach dexterity in the use of hand tools and machinery. A course in mechanical drawing is also offered in conjunction with industrial arts. The agriculture courses are designed for students who have decided to enter the field of agriculture as a vocation. Instruction in home economics is helpful in preparing every girl for later life. In these classes the students learn to cook, to sew, .and to perform many other duties of the modern housewife. Mrs. Barbara Lewis, who teaches home economics, has a B.S. degree from East Caro¬ lina College. Many nutritious meals are prepared by Home Eco¬ nomic students. I 1 ■-fill Sammy Oliver and Jesse Man ning can do wonders with their ceramics. Social Studies Mrs. LaRue M. Evans teaches American history and world history. She has her B.A. and M.A. degrees from East Carolina College. The far-ranging Social Studies Department includes the courses in world geography, world history, American history, economics and sociology, Bible, and civics. With the many visual aids used in this department, the student can he transported to almost any place or any period of time. The goals of the geography and history classes are to teach what events have taken place in the worltj, where they occurred, and under what conditions they occurred. By careful examination of these facts students can more easily understand what is transpir¬ ing in the world today. The course in economics and sociology teaches the economy and the sociology of the world now and in years past. By this study the course can also teach a better understanding of current events. The Bible course is financed completely by contributions from people and organizations in the community. Students may study either the Old or New Testaments. Mr. David T. Fowle graduated from Davidson College with a B.S. degree. He teaches American history and world geography. Mrs. Sarah M. Thompson is the Bible teacher. She at¬ tended Peace College and has a B.A. degree from the Uni¬ versity of North Carolina. John Litchfield gives a progress report in Mrs. Evans history class as students listen attentively. These students are being sociable . . . they are not studying! Seventh Qrade Seventh graders write Christmas songs on the blackboard the day we were released for vacation. Mrs. Robertson helps her students decorate their Christmas tree. MRS. BUNN MISS ROSS MRS. WINFIELD MR. ROBERTSON MRS. ROBERTSON Mr. Carl Smith teaches science and social studies. He graduated from East Carolina College with a B.S. degree. Mrs. Mary Ella Jarman, the eighth grade mathematics teach¬ er, has a B.A. degree from East Carolina College. Mrs. Mary S. Moss, who teaches English, has attended Duke Uni¬ versity, Randolph-Macon, and the University of Michigan. She has B.A. and M.A. degrees. Mrs. Louise D. Patton who has obtained B.S. and M.A. degrees from East Carolina College, teaches North Carolina history. Eighth Mr. Smith uses the globe to aid students in understanding eighth grade history. The Eighth grade classes are in the high school build¬ ing, but operate independently from the high school. The Eighth graders study English, math, history, reading, physical education, and science. There is an advanced science group taking the TV science normally taken in the freshman year. The mathematics course, new this year, is designed to prepare junior high students for the more modern forms of algebra now being taught. This is a grade of transition from the idea of elementary school to the concept of having a different teacher for each class. However, all of the students take the same courses. They are governed by a student government or¬ ganization which functions similarly to the one in the high school. In Mrs. Patton’s history class students watch as specific locations are pointed out on the map. 28 Responsive students in Mrs. Latham’s TV science raise their hands to answer questions. Mrs. Jarman’s eighth grade students attentively listen while she explains a difficult problem. Cjrade Mrs. Frances W. Porter teaches reading skills. She has been to the Woman’s College and to East Carolina College, and has her B.A. and M.A. degrees. Mrs. Billie Latham has a. .B.A. degree from Meredith College. She teaches the eighth graders science. Mrs. Ulma S. Garris, who teaches Eng¬ lish and reading skills, has been to East Carolina College and N. C. State College. She has a high school teach¬ er’s certificate. We are deeply indebted to our janitors for making Washington High School a nice place to spend our younger days—a clean place, anyhow. Charlie Latham and Lulu Latham, Willie Askew, and Edna Blount do an excellent job of not only keeping the school clean, but also just being available when they are needed. To realize how indispensable they are, one need only visualize the way the school would look after one week without them. I he first ones to arrive in the morning, the last to leave in the afternoon, our janitors are never without a smile.

BROWN LIBRARY 122 Van Norden St. Washington, NC 27889 Student The Student Council is the most important organi¬ zation of Washington High School in that it is the governing body of the student activities. The council is composed of representatives of each homeroom, Student Council officers, representatives from all clubs and major sports, and the presidents of the Junior and Senior classes. The purpose of the coun¬ cil is to promote between the students and the facul- The Student Council is a member of the National Association of Student Councils and the National Council of Student Safety. Each year the president and two other representatives attend the State Con¬ vention with their adviser. This year the State Con¬ vention was held in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Troy Boyd, Ernest Larkins and Ed Walker reported having a grand time. v 34 Council ty a sense of cooperation and to impress upon the students a responsibility of membership in a democracy. Among the many activities of the club are sponsoring the Coronation Ball, supporting a War Orphan, publishing the Student handbook of Washington High School, and participating in the homecoming parade. Their most important project is promoting a vigorous clean-up campaign. Officers of the Student Council are elected by the student body through secret ballot. Initial nom¬ inations for the offices are made by the Elections Committee and additional nominations may be made from the floor. The students conduct vigorous campaigns for their candidates. The week of elec¬ tions finds our school cluttered with posters, banners, and cam¬ paign cards. ADVISER: J Shep Grist -—• — SECRETARY 35 Committees FINANCE: Keeping account of the receipts and expenditures is the function of the finance com¬ mittee.

The work of all the staff is supervised by the Editor, who presses them to meet their deadlines. The PACKROMAK of Washington High School is pub¬ lished by the National Honor Society. In 1942 the first volume of the PACKROMAK was a thin blue paperback edition. At that time there were only 50 members of the senior class. Since that time Washington High School has grown into a triple A school with a senior class of one- hundred and fifty-eight. The PACKROMAK has continued to grow with the school. This year we are producing the largest annual yet. Much hard work plus approximately four-thousand dollars constitute our yearbook. The PACKROMAK Staff is composed of members of the National Honor Society selected by the new and outgoing officers of the Society, the new and outgoing Editors, and Mrs. Worthy, adviser for the club. The Editor-in-Chief is elected by the National Honor Society. Although the book is printed by Society members it is important to the entire student body. The co-operation of all the students is neces¬ sary to produce a first rate annual. MISSY HARRINGTON: Assistant Editor The Assistant Editor is the Ed- itor-in-Chief’s “right-hand-man.” She helps select the cover and arrange a contract. Assisting the sub-Editors and arranging copy sheets requires most of her ef¬ forts. JANE ALLIGOOD: Business Manager The Business Manager handles all money transactions for the yearbook. Arranging an orderly file of money receipts from ad¬ vertisements, sending bills, and keeping our account straight in the office are her main duties. 38 MRS. WORTHY: Adviser BILLY McCOTTER Photographer There is no limit to the time and effort Billy has devoted to the PACKROMAK. Afternoons, nights, and holidays found him diligently taking, developing, and printing pic¬ tures. JUDY DUDLEY Feature Editor The job of conducting superlative elections, covering all extracurricu¬ lar activities, and drawing up copy sheets meant difficult work for Judy. ERNEST LARKIN Faculty Ed. The faculty editor supervises picture taking, arranges teachers activities, and draws up copy sheets. “Work” is a word frequently heard around the PACKROMAK room and every staff mem¬ ber knows well its meaning. In order to get that first shipment on its way to Dallas, Texas, many people had to sacrifice hours of their summer fun to get the ball rolling. After the first section left there were sighs of relief but not of long life as the real work was yet to be done. With each click of the camera and each peck of the typewriter the day for departure of the last section drew near. The PACKRO¬ MAK was eventually on its way and with it the hopes of the entire staff. NELDA WINSTEAD RAY MOORE Senior Editors Arranging pictures, drawing up copy sheets, approving quotations and checking activity sheets are the main responsibilities of these two. DEL MILTENBERGER LARRY POORE CHARLES KNIGHT As. Photographers These boys have spent much time working in the dark room. They contributed many pictures and a great deal of effort. GREY WINFIELD Sports Editor Covering athletic events, taking pic¬ tures and drawing up pages meant fun for Grey. BILL LOY Music Editor Bill worked hard writing copy, tak� ing pictures and pestering Mr. Lar¬ kin ! RONALD MIZELLE LYDIA WORSLEY Organization Selling and planning pages for the clubs took much time and thought. 39 We have worked hard, worried a great deal, rushed to meet deadlines, and enjoyed almost every minute of it. Publishing a yearbook is an inter¬ esting experience. Those of us who who have participated are proud of the results of our endeavors. Though it is impossible to please everybody, we have tried our best to do so. LOIS CUTLER Junior Editor Lois arranged pictures and super¬ vised class officers ' pictures plus draw¬ ing up the copy sheets for her section. JEAN TAYLOR Sophomore Editor Jean drew up copy sheets after arrang¬ ing picture s in correct order and col¬ lecting snapshots for her section. JUDV DIXON Freshman Editor Judy has certainly worked hard and accom¬ plished much. Drawing up the Freshman pages was quite a job. MELVA HARRIS BARBARA PICARD Junior-high Editors Identifying class pictures and arranging them alphabetically was the main job for Barbara and Melva, They also drew up their copy sheets. The Subscription Staff worked before school, during lobby, during lunch, and after school. They did a fine job selling 550 annuals. The total sales amounted to $2,300. HELEN EVERSON Advertising Manager The Advertising Manager led a cam¬ paign for $1,500. For several weeks we did not reach our goal, even though many staff members worked beyond the call of duty. PAT LURVEY Subscription Manager Nelda Winstead, Sue Yeargan, Sylvia Taylor, Judy Dixon, Lois Cutler worked diligently. This is typical of the PACKROMAK ROOM AT ACTIVITY PERIOD. However, this shot was posed! Literary Editors: PAULA STOLTZ TOMMY PATTERSON These two had the difficult task of selecting suitable qou- tations for the seniors. CAROLYN ROBERSON BARBARA LANCASTER Carolyn and Barbara helped with the typ¬ ing. Snapshot Editor, FRED HARWELL, Art Editor, SYLVIA TAYLOR, and Picture Editor, ANN SWAIN, have added much to the annual . .

Le Cercle Francais was chartered by the Student Council in 1960. It has as its objective the development of a more thorough knowledge of France, its language and its people, and from background studies increase interest in the French nation. The activities of the club include a monthly meeting, a Noel celebration, a float in the annual homecoming parade, and a banquet during the Spring. Students taking French or who have completed the French course are eligible for membership. e r c l e c a i s L5 1 $ - st V- ■ y f 1 s- S| =5 PRESIDENT: Jane Alligood VICE-PRESIDENT: Freddie Harwell SECRETARY: Sally Cox TREASURER: Larry Poore ADVISER: Mrs. Larkin 81 Club ' De Sspanol Under the guidance of Mrs. Mary Anne Larkin, educational and worthwhile pro¬ jects are undertaken by the Spanish Club.

With our heads held high and with the sky as our limit we venture into the realm of worldly affairs, always reaching higher and higher to achieve our ambitions. Class Pom CLASS OF 1962 Your doors flew open and in we strode, Afraid at first but bearing our load. We were young and timid then—four years ago. Now we’re independent—meeting friend or foe. We have surpassed our childish years, Now we have defeated those petty fears. What caused our maturity—we cannot say, But we know, High School, that you paved our way. You gave us friendship; you gave us pride; You were our pathway and even our guide. You gave us security; we held to it fast, Though each in his heart knew it could not last. The qualities you gave us words cannot include. For our education we are filled with gratitude. All that you offered gave us pride. Through study we matched your stride. The understanding teachers kept us on our course. When we weakened they used force. While we’ve studied; we’ve been tempted To depart from work and from labor be exempted. The alumni before who have left you behind Have experienced our feelings and know our minds. They know the feeling of welled-up sorrow, They know the excitement of awaiting life’s tomorrow. At your exit we turn and stare, Noting your appearance with silent care. Until our life is over, whether the end be near or far, We will remember you, W.H.S., as our brilliant, guiding star. LINDA SPAIN Class Poet 148 Washington High School History 1962 Now that we are Seniors and have reached this milestone in our lives we pause to reminisce over the highlights of the past years. Never will we forget the year 1950, when the first grade fused us into a real class and brought our first class project, “The Circus.’ Excitement ran high as the curtain opened and we as tigers, elephants, tightrope walkers, Hawaiian dancers and other circus personalities performed for our proud parents and other guests. As well as the circus, we will always remember reading about our old friends “Dick and Jane.” As the third, fourth, and fifth grades flew by we plunged deep into true academic learning. As sixth graders, we were thrilled to be the first students to occupy the new elementary wing at John Small School. This year brought an all day bus trip to the Air Base at Cherry Point and to Tryon Palace. The seventh grade was our momentous turning point. We entered Washington High School. Our unforgettable trip to Williamsburg highlighted this year. We shall never forget how some of our classmates were nearly left in the beautiful state of Virginia. After being introduced to the idea of changing classes in the eighth grade, we were ready to enter the ninth and to become a part of high school life. How could the past memories of this year —the Latin Club, P.E. as a regular class, and the J.V. teams—ever fade away? Bugs, bugs everywhere but not a bug to spare was a quite familiar quotation in our sophomore year. We all made a valiant search for bugs which seemed to be everywhere except where we were. The excitement of our sophomore year came to a climax on the morning the Junior-Senior Waiters and Waitresses were announced. We were really moving into school activities with more vim and vigor and before we knew it we became Juniors. Our Junior year was truly our greatest. In the early fall we plunged into a vigorous magazine sale. We finally received our long awaited class rings and proudly flashed them about but many did not keep them long. Then the most important event of all our eleven years of school—the greatest Junior-Senior of them all, “The Jungle.” Will we ever forget the feelings of glowing ex¬ citement when we could stand back and survey our completed project? In our eyes every thatched hut was an example of perfection, as was also the waterfall that flowed down the mountain side and wound under the vine covered bridge. The mysterious sacred god added a flavor of intrigue to the Waiters and Waitresses as they fell into the rhythm of the jungle beat, dressed in costumes of leopard skins. Before we knew it we had grown another year older and had reached that all important year— our Senior Year. We took a more serious attitude realizing the importance of the impending fu¬ ture. But along with the serious side there was also a light one. The new dance sensation, “The Twist,” had swept the countryside enveloping Washington High School. Suddenly the year was al¬ most over. Our Senior play, “Lock, Stock, and Lipstick,” had been a great success and all enjoyed working on it. Eventually the final step came, exams, commencement, and the symbol of these twelve years—our diplomas. Some of us left regretfully, some joyously but we all had a certain sentimental feeling for our great class of ’62.

They perform precision drills during half-time at the basketball games. The Halloween Carnival this year was a great success. Plus the teachers’ side-show, the cake This year the Boys’ Monogram Club purchased a popcorn machine to be operated during basketball games. The students are happy to have the popcorn and the club is happy with their profits. On January 11 and 12, 1962, we enjoyed a short vacation due to 170 walk, and an ole hat sale every¬ one enjoyed the dance in the bandroom. Highlights of 1961 There are so many wonderful things that transpire during a year at WHS that we, the students, are really fortunate to be a part of them. Can’t we remember in the fall when Roanoke Rapids came to Washington on the train for the football game? Next year we hope to return the visit. We’ll never forget the pep rallies that the cheerleaders worked so hard to plan. Because of their enthusiasm and good sportsmanship, George Attmore and Sylvia Taylor were elected Mr. and Miss School Spirit. Everyone has had a “twisting good time” at the Parish house dances this year. The snow really put a damper on our exam schedule this year. We students rejoiced at missing two and a half days of school and having our exams postponed. a snowfall. This is a scene from lunch peri¬ od on the 11th. llll J ippmr vif r w 1 W Mkm, i Kan Mr. and Miss School Spirit, George Attmore and Sylvia Taylor standing in front of the trophy case, give a cheer for W.H.S. 171 {Junior-Senior Zropical Jungle Success On April 26, 1960, after weeks of planning and hard work the class of ’62 entertained the class of 61 at the traditional banquet and dance. With the chosen theme “The Tropical Jungle” the Juniors began, and in the end, were repaid by the success of the endeavor. Complete with a name band and exquisite dec¬ orations the dance was the huge success everyone was anticipating. Special recognition should go to Tomarie Peevy and Judy Dudley, chairmen of the dance and banquet respectively. Festivities did not conclude with the prom, for the fun, the excitement, and the gaiety continued all weekend. 1961 Jr. Sen.
