Published by WEST STREET HIGH SCHOOL New Bern, N. C. lie Planet SCHOOL EMBLEM THE WARRIORS lie Planet FOREWORD The West Street High School is very happy to present to the public its first annual. It has long been felt that the lack of such a publication was one of the missing elements to a complete and happy school life. The Senior Class and the faculty advisors are to be congratulated for having the initiative and courage to undertake this task. They have set a high stand¬ ard of achievement for succeeding classes to attain. We hope that all who read these pages will be bet¬ ter informed about the kind of life our school family leads. F. R. DANYUS, Principal Ike Planet DEDICATION We dedicate this the first volume of The Planet, to our parents and guardians who have made our education here at West Street High School possible. With the passage of time, it is ours to prove the merit of their work and to uphold the ideals of the school. T Ite Planet ADMINISTRATION MR. F. R. DANYUS, B.S., M.A. Principal mr. h. j.

CLASS SONG Chant de Depart (Departing Song) Tune: In the Gloaming West Street High School, we are leaving, But thy halls we ' ll ne ' er forget, These few years which we ' ve spent with you We shall ne ' er regret. So wherever we shall wander You will always hear us say, We shall evermore be grateful, Just as on this parting day. We have had our days of sorrow, And we ' ve had our good times too, But since this is life ' s great pattern, We ' ll accept it as our due. In thy sacred halls of study, We have striven long and hard, But we know that in the future, We shall find our just reward. Refrain for the Third Verse Alma Mater we are leaving And we hate to leave thee so, But we know that life is calling, So farewell, for we must go. CAROLYN R. MOORE CLASS POEM Dear West Street High; we proudly pledge to thee Undying love and steadfast loyalty; Four years have passed; our work has been approved By our dear teachers who held our standards high The time has come for us to tell To all a sad farewell, farewell. Though failure frown; though kindly fortune smile, Firm our advance; nought can we e ' er be-guile. To honor bound, to love and virtue sworn, Lift we our voice in full ac-claim, Thy sons shall thee with noble deeds adorn, Hail, West Street High, we praise thy name. Dear parents all; we ' ll never forget The lessons you have tried to teach; Remembering the world tomorrow depends on our deeds today, We ' ll strive to seek, to find and not to yield, The deeds you ' ve done will determine the fate Of this our class of 1948. GLADYS MARIE DAVES 7L Planet CLASS HISTORY Like a ship that ' s been launched tor a four year course upon uncharted waters, we, the Class of ' 48 can now relate an adventurous and interesting journey. We embarked in the fall of ' 44 with a crew of over one hundred. You may well pic¬ ture us as frightened young greens wondering what High School life was all about. Discarding our fears after a few months, we began to feel a part of an organized educa¬ tional program. To guide our hesitant, but progressive steps, we were fortunate to have as instructors: Mrs. Danyus, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Mizell, Mr. Boley, and Mr. Carrington. Eager to integrate ourselves into the high school family, we set out to become active participants in many of the extra-curricular activities of the school. Avine White, How¬ ard Henderson, and Lenster Moore became football heroes. Willie Fisher, Cecil Hollo¬ way, and William Nixon became popular as the Barons of Rhythm. Doris Stallings, Berlie Ray, William Simmons, Lenster Moore, and Willie Fisher represented our class in the band. In Dramatics, Berlie Ray and Willie Fisher played the leading roles in the stage hit, The Red Headed Step-child. In addition to club activities the majority of the students made creditable marks in their scholastic endeavors during their freshman year. Having tried the first experiment of high school work, there were many who were willing and eager to try for the second year. This year, 1945-46, had, of course, some slight changes. Our instructors for the sophomore year were Mrs. Fishe r, Miss Roach, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Mizell, Mr. Boley, and Mr. Carrington. During the school year, the class really displayed its versatility and its adaptability in various fields. On the football squad, our class was highly rep ' esented by such stars as Howard Hender¬ son, Avine White and Lenster Moore. We were also represented in other activities. Rita Mills and Carolyn Smith were excellent in creative dances. Rita Houston was elected State President of a Negro Organization made up of high school Home Economics stu¬ dents, New Home Makers of America, and Phoebe Gibbs was reporter. Along with our progress in other fields we found that many of the students were musically inclined. Cecil Holloway, Willie Fisher, William Nixon, Doris Stallings, Berlie Ray and William Simmons proved to be devoted band members, while Geraldine Dudley showed great promise in the field of Opera. It was in 1946-47 that we united our courageous selves to work toward the end of our goal, graduation. The junior year was a bit difficult, but nevertheless, we con¬ quered it. We now had as advisors Mr. Boley, and Mrs. Jones. Our officers on this experimental trio were Scotty Evans, President; Avine White, Vice-President; Emma Mc- Conner, Recording Secretary; Doris Stallings, Financial Secretary; and Paul Morris, Treasurer. It seemed no time at all before the Junior-Senior Prom was upon us and we were hustling and bustling making preparations for the long waited-for prom, where the girls could show off their most beautiful evening dresses and the boys could look their best in their dark attire. The prom was held in full swing on May 23rd. Everyone was looking his best and a good time was had by all. At the end of our junior year, one of our most talented, Carolyn Smith, began her college career at North Carolina College at Dur ham, North Carolina. Nineteen hundred forty-eight found us seniors. Yes, dignified seniors. This year we elected as our class officers Joseph Brown, President; Willie Fisher, Vice-President; Georgie Glasper, Recording Secretary; Berlie Ray, Financial Secretary; Paul Morris, Treasurer, and Mrs. Rivers, Advisor. Three seniors, Georgia Glasper, Berlie Ray and Rita Houston were elected to take the Pepsi-Cola Scholarship Test. We certainly were proud of those three seniors. Doris Stallings, a senior, merits academic distinction by being president of the Stu¬ dent Council. T Ue Planet CLASS HISTORY — Continued In our senior year we found that we were most victorious in playing football be¬ cause we were so splendidly held up by our boys. As seniors, we were exceptionally proud of Walter Roundtree, Avine White, Howard Henderson, Cecil Holloway, Willie Fisher, Thomas Hatch and Lenster Moore. At the Home-coming Game one of us, Dorothy Vail, was crowned Miss West Street. We sincerely hope that our treasured Senior Class dignity has been displayed highly. We also comprehend the fact that though we have obtained stoppage at a port of dis¬ embarkation, we are obliged to secure, each of us, a responsible position in a rapidly changing and progressive society.

CLASS PROPHECY Wishing to know all the possibilities and probabilities of the future experience in store for the members of the class of 1948, it has been given unto me as prophetess to dream strange dreams and to see strange visions of the glories of the years yet to be. As I look into the future, I can see among dim shadows, the familiar shapes of my classmates now changed and transformed into citizens of the world. The veil before my eyes gradually rises and behold, it is the year 1958. I am making a tour of New York City. Lo! Who is that standing near me? Why of all people, it ' s Paul Morris, noted tenor soloist. Paul informed me that on the following eve¬ ning he was being presented in concert at Carnegie Hall. I inquired about some of the other members of our class and was told that many of them lived in New York City. Gladys Daves, concert and operatic soprano, was to appear in concert at Carnegie Hall the following week. Paul took me into a palatial drug store, equipped with all the neces¬ sities one might want. I was surprised to find out that the proprietors were Mr. and Mrs. Scotty Evans. Mrs. Evans was the former Clotee Dunson. After leaving these friends, we went to the Paramount Theatre, where we noticed that the main attractions for the week were the famous stars of stage and radio, Avine White, Joseph Brown, and Cecil Holloway who had replaced the retired King Cole Trio, and Willie Fisher and his popular band. With Fisher ' s band was the talented singer Dorothy Vail. On returning to my hotel, I stopped at the desk to inquire if there had been any calls. James Matthews, the night clerk, informed me that there had been no calls, but some of our classmates who were attending a National Medical Convention had registered as guests that evening. Among those registered at the hotel were Dr. William Nixon, sur¬ geon at Duke Hospital; Dr. Dorothy Bryant, who operates a clinic in Daytona Beach, Flo - The Planet CLASS PROPHECY — Continued ida; Dr. Charles Bryant, prominent physician in Raleigh, N. C., and Emma McConnor, superintendent of nurses at Good Shepherd Hospital. After attending the Broadway hit, Rainbow Over the Rockies, a hilarious western drama starring Beriie Ray as Pat, the beautiful, but spoiled prairie girl, I caught the mid¬ night train from New York going South. Wnen I went into the dining car, there were seated opposite me two well dressed young women, who introduced themselves as Geor¬ gia Glasper and Audie Melton, field secretaries for the N. A. A. C. P. You can imagine my embarrassment when I realized they were old classmates of mine. They told me that they had visited several colleges and had seen many of our classmates. Rita Hous¬ ton had received a Ph.D. degree in Mathematics and was head of the Mathematics de¬ partment at Hampton Institute. They had heard that Rita had worked out a mathematical formula which had puzzled even Einstein. At the same institution was Ada Mae Davis, Ph.D., director of Physical Education. Mildred Jones was an English instructor at North Carolina College. Georgia, Audie, and I were so engrossed in our conversation that we were surprised when the conductor came through and called the next stop, Philadelphia, my destination. In Philadelphia, I ran across Melvina G.bbs, associate editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, a widely known newspaper. She was able to give me information about our classmates for many of them had received publicity in her newspaper. Among those who had made outstanding achievements was Joseph Hooks, president of North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. Carolyn Moore was the private secretary of this out¬ standing business executive. He had as stenographers Willie Mae Hazelton, Pearlie Whitfield, Queenie King, Sylvia Berry and Barlie Brown. The chief accountants were Lenster Moore, William Simmons, Thomas Hooks. Walter Roundtree had made headlines as coach at the University of Michigan. His team will play in the ' 59 Rose Bowl Game. Howard Henderson was assistant coach at the same university. Verdie Gilliam had be¬ come a model for Vogue Magazine. Thomas Hatch had just returned from Italy where he had become famous as an artist. There had appeared an article which stated that among those who had attended the annual Homemaking Institute at Bennett College were such successful home demonstration agents as Emma Sawyer, Margaret Knight, Minnie Murphy, Margaret Dean and Virginia Mishoe. On my arrival in New Bern, I was greeted by Eleanor Murrell, teacher of United States History at West Street School. Eleanor told me of our classmates who had re¬ turned to New Bern. Mrs. Irene Edwards Smith was combining homemaking with a successful kindergarten. Helen Moore was proprietor of an elaborate dress shop in Pem¬ broke. Geraldine Dudley White was operating a modern floral shop. One of her main customers was Lincoln Midgett, mortician and manager of a successful business. Lin¬ coln ' s assistant manager was Lessie Martin. A change has taken place, and the veil has been drawn over my eyes, shutting out from my vision the future of my classmates. I turn to the present and hope that only goodness, truth, and prosperity shall come to the fair and talented members of the class of 1948.
