CLASS HISTORY The rocket which you see is called The Spirit of 1951. It is very dear to each of us because we have spent four years learning every detail of its mechanism and how to operate it. I want to tell you something about how we did will. 8 • Let ' s go baok four years ago when we oame to high sohool, as green a bunoh of rookies as you ' ve, ever seen. We shall always feel Indebted to our advisors, Mrs M. Be Danyns, Mrs A. Be Mizell,and Mr Ee N. Belle There were one hundred °f ub� We were a bit soared at first, but before long we were laying the foundation for our training. Discarding our fears after a few months, we set out to become active par¬ ticipants in the various extra curricular activities which were a vital part of our sohool life. Various members of the olass began to Join different clubs. James Ernul, Harold Melton, James Badger, William Jenkins, Nettle Carter, 8olon League, Dorothy Jones, and Daisy McManus were chosen as representatives of the Student Council. A few from our class showed keen Interest in the work of the Library Club supervised by Mrs. A. B. Mizell. The highlight of the fall season was football. Those who brought many victories to the team were William Robinson, Solon League, James Spicer, and James Simmons, assisted by well trained cheerleaders. In basketball, Solon League, Emma Hill, and Christine Long were active on the teams. In dramatios,Laoma King played a leading role in the unforgettable olasslo Silas Marner. Cora Hazelton, Barbara Rivers, Nettle Carter, Dorlnda Gorham,©tella Evans, and Thessa Moore were members of the New Homemakers of Amerloa. Bernioe Dawson had an important duty as typist of the Annual and the Planet, a monthly sohool paper. Severed students showed unusual musloal talent and Joined the Glee Club and band under the leadershlpof Mrs. L. B. Smith and Mr. L. M. Mlzell, who de¬ voted their time to training their voices and teaching them to play various in¬ struments. In addition to the interest in muslo, it was noted that many girls had grace and rhythm. Soon a danoe group was oreated for further development Thus our Freshman year came to an end with many happy hours having been spent. A new year had now rolled around and we were Sophomores, yes, sophisticated Sophomores. No longer were we the underdogs, but, instead, we found ourselves enjoying a state of sophistication and lording our prestige over the newly ar¬ rived Freshmen. With Mls8 E. L. Nixon, Mrs. L. B. Smith, and Mr. F. W. Baker as our ad¬ visors, we set out to take a part in many of the extra curricular activities of the sohool. ' Athletic season had begun and with Solon League, Andrew Suggs, Earl Jones, and William Robinson as our football stars and Barbara Rivers, Otelia Evans, Carole Sawyer, Dorothy Melton, and Doris Armstrong as cheerleaders, victory was assured for the Warriors. Next, came basketball season. Oh, how thrilled we were when Earl Jones, Annie Dlllahunt and Marjorie Wilkins starred on the team. Entering the field of music were Laoma King, Sarah Fisher, Willie Hender¬ son, Irvie Whitfield, Janie Kinsey, Renee Moore, Harold Melton,Alexander Sutton Daisy McManus, and Thessa Moore. Band Members were Earl Jones, James Badger, Arthur Bynum, Bernard Johnson, Daisy McManus and Laoma King. The dance group under the supervision of Mrs. E. G. Adams gave many per¬ formances. The group was composed of Carole Sawyer, Barbara Rivers, Dorothy Melton, Otelia Evans, Doris Armstrong, and Irvie Whitfield. As Sophomores, Doris Armstrong, Frank Vines, and Marjorie Wilkins were added to the Student Government Council. Otelia Evans and Barbara Rivers be¬ came members of the “Drama Guild. New Homemakers of America opened its doors for membership to Doris Arm¬ strong, Dorothy Melton, Carole Sawyer, Sarah Fisher, Catherine Saunders, Marjorie Wilkins, and Sadie Poole. Harold Melton, Bernard Johnson, and William Robinson were acoepted in Club Intellectual which was the most newly organized club at the time. We successfully passed through the period of sophistication and entered the Junior Class with unlimited power and confidence. Our Junior year began with a bang! With many activities to anticipate, the Junior-Senior Prom to top them all, we were forty boys and seventy girls all in a bustle with Mrs. J. W. Jones, Mr. F. W. Baker,and Mr. G. C. Fields as our advisors. We started our Junior year with Solon League pounding the gavel as presi¬ dent of our class, ably assisted by Wesley Moore, Vice-president; Catherine Saunders, secretary; Irvie Whitfield, assistant-secretary; and Willie Hender¬ son, treasurer. Keen Interest was oentered on our cheerleader try-outs. After muoh prac¬ tice and few eliminations, Doris Armstrong, Barbara Rivera, Dorothy Melton, Otelia Evans, and Carole Sawyer were finally chosen. An Impressive event of our Junior year was the tapping of students for the Honor Society. After going through strenuous initiations, Catherine Saunders, Marjorie Wilkins, Barbara Woods, Otelia Evans, Beatrice Rhodes, Dorothy Melton, Doris Armstrong, Bernard Johnson, Carole Sawyer, and Barbara Rivers were welcomed as members of the Crown and Sceptre Club. In the Hi-Y Club were Harold Melton, Russell West, James Simmons, Bernard Johnson, David Sanders, Frank Vines, Solon League. The Trl-Hi-Y Club, sister to the Hl-Y, was represented by Mary Murrell, Sarah Fisher, Sadie Poole, Debrie Allen, Dorlnda Gorham, Mary West, Renee Moore, Nettie Carter, Annie Bell, Cora Hazelton, and Elizabeth Kearney. Those elected to serve on the Student Counoil were Barbara Woods, Raymond Phifer, and Beatrice Simmons. Due to the number of rural ohildren who wanted to become members of the N. H. A., two clubs were organized, N. H. A. I and N. H. A. II. In N. H. A. I were Nettle Carter, Barbara Woods, Cora Hazelton, Mary Murrell, Thessa Moore Marjorie Wilkins, Sadie Poole, Renee Moore, Doris Brlmage, Catherine Saunders, Sarah Fisher, Barbara Rivers, Doris Armstrong, Otelia Evans, Dorlnda Gorham, and Carole Sawyer, Members of N. H. A. II were Evelyn Cannon, Beulah Bryant, Bernice Dawson, Ethel Leary, Annie Dillahunt, Thelma Benjamin, and Christine Long. We had several members who exemplified dramatic ability; namely: Janie Kinsey, Lena Fenner, Willie Henderson, Annie Bell, Nettle Carter, and Laoma King. Quite a number of our classmates could Parlent francals and found much pleasure in the French Club. Others showing signs of musical ability were William Robinson and Mary West. At this time our band was making considerate progress with these addi¬ tions participating in the activities of the band: Frank Vines, Andrew Suggs, and Claudius Cooper. In athletics—football, basketball, and track, many of our classmates were still winning honors for the school. Several of our members held Important positions on the Annual Staff and the Planet. In the early fall a spirited contest was held to select “Miss West Street to reign as queen during our homecoming game. To our great delight, Maiy Murrell, a memoer of the Junior claes, was crowned queen. Our attention was finally focused on the Junior-Senior Prom,the outstand¬ ing social event of the four-year course. Like all Junior classes, we were faced with the problem of how to finance the affair. We paid our class dues and gave a few socials. Even though it was quite a struggle, we financed the affair and it turned out to be a grand oocasion. The scene of our prom was a Garden Fete with an arch, flowers, and picket fence. It was a beautiful affair with every laddie and lassie dressed in evening attire. Now, we oome to the fourth and greatest year in the history of the olass the year for which we have been waiting. Ninety-five in numoer, we are clos¬ ing the book on four eventful years. We feel as though we are reaching the zenith of our academic training, but we must realize that we are finishing to begin. Our advisors are Mrs. B. L. Rivers,Mrs. M.B. Danyus,and Mr. W.M. Booker. Solon League, as president, with an efficient group of officers—Bernard John¬ son, vice-president; Cora Hazelton, secretary; Barbara Woods, assistant secre¬ tary; and Willie Henderson, treasurer, assumed their new duties enthusiasti¬ cally. Having completely integrated ourselves into the West Street family, we continued our interest in extra-currloular activities. James Young and Wesley Moore became football star This year Maggie Hawkins, Janie Kinsey became members of the Student Coun¬ cil. Barbara Woods was elected president and Nettie Carter, secretary. The most highly recognized scholastic club, the Crown and Sceptre, has in addition to its old members, Ethel Starkey, and Willie Henderson. Catherine Saunders was eleoted president, Otelia Evans, secretary; Doris Armstrong, vice- president; and Marjorie Wilkins, treasurer. Weren ' t we proud when William Cooke and James Badger were initiated into the Hi-Y Club] Holding offices are Harold Melton, president and Russell West, secretary. The Glee CIud showed that the Class of 51 was still ardent lovers of musio for it found in addition to its old members Beulah Bryant and Barbara Rivers. There were our school publications with Bernard Johnson as Editor-In- Chief of the Annual, William Robinson, its business manager; Bernice Dawson, its typist, and Nettie Carter, Beatrioe Rhodes, Ernestine Becton, Barbara Riv¬ ers, Carole Sawyer, Dorothy Melton as staff members. Perhaps no officer has ever worked harder than James Simmons who is Editor-In-Chief of the Planet. His motto is Print nothing but the latest news. He has his troubles as all editors do. Those represented in the N. H. A. Club are Sadie Rhodes, vice-president, and Nettie Bethea. The history of the individuals of the class of ' 51 is soon to flow into the great stream of human progress. While we record events and experiences in our lives, we must reoord the presence in our minds of a feeling of grati¬ tude for the contributions made by the countless millions who have fought in the struggle for Justice and truth for in these virtues there is peaoe and freedom. Doris Armstrong Carole Sawyer Barbara Rivers Dorothy Melton CLASS WILL We, the class of 1951 of West Street High, do hereby make and de¬ clare this to be our last trill and testament.

Our capaoity for fun, our ability to giggle, our good times, our friendship and our loyalty we do hereby bequeath to the Junior Class,and may they count them among the richest of the legacies they have received.
