The present staff of the “Carver Echo” is closing its year’s work with a final edition of the school paper dedicated to the grad uating class. We have tried to include in this issue some of the important events that have taken place during the past four years, to give the readers some insight into the personalities of the members of the class, to mention briefly some of their attainments, and finally to project some of their future objectives. The class of 1950 is very proud of the progress made by our school during its four years in high school. We recall the initiation of our student government organization established during our freshman year. In the same year a movie projector was added to the equipment of our school. The crowning point of that freshman year was the accrediting of our school by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. We bfegan our sophomore year with a change in administration. It was significant to note that the enrollmen of the school was in creasing and that the students were working hard for continued growth and improvement. The high school faculty was increased to accommodate the additional classes. During our Junior year, continued improvement was noted with the addition to our curriculum of a class in typing. Toward the close of that year, the cafeteria building was completed and we eagerly awaited its opening at the beginning of our senior year. Our senior year has marked the first full year of operation for our cafeteria. We feel that its addition has served an important need in the health and welfare of our students. _ Through the efforts and cooperation of the parents, patrons, stu- deriis, ar^‘ lacuily oi oui scnool and commtinity, there was organ-' ized at the beginning of our senior year, a school band. We feel that this addition to the facilities of our school has contributed im measurably to the culture and aesthetic development of the stu dents of Carver. In looking forward to the continued growth of our school, we are particularly interested in the expansion of the school band in order to provide for participation of more students. It would seem desirable that more students make use of the advantages offered by the services of the cafeteria. We look forward to the addition of courses in dramatics, speech and journalism in order that the stu dents may develop more efficiency in self-expression. Further, it is felt that the students should take more interest and active par ticipation in the student government association. It is hoped that the commercial classes be expanded to include all commercial courses. Finally we look forward to the addition of a Vocational Agriculture d:par;ment :n order that the school may more effect ively meet the needs of its studnts in an agricultural community. The senior class is happy to have participated in the inaugura tion of these additional facilities to the school and considers it a privilege to have shared in the added educational experiences they have afforded. Though we are leaving, we shall continue to be interested in the continued growth and development of our school and shall ex ert our influence whenever and wherever possible to create favor able attitudes toward the attainment of these and other objectives fbr school and community improvement. —THE STAFF.

Senior Class Motto Offers Inspiration By Hildegarde King The Senior class has chosen as its motto “Here lies the tim ber, let us build.” The word that we emphasize most in our motto is TIMBER. When defined this word means in one sense, matter out of which something can be built or formed. We will have to be able to ad just ourselves to the things that we choose to do for the rest of our lives, if we want to be built into something helpful and sub stantial. Then we will try to form other timber, out of which other good things can be made. The timber lies within ourselves; t.'t-srct^yrs- - ^xv ai-e ■ who" must work with the help of oth ers to develop it into the finished product which we want it to be. “To be helped, one must first help one’s self,” are the words of one of our friends who had learned from experience, but it was too late for him. He said it for the benefit of others, in order that they might be helped. Timber also means to U3 the building, whose structure de pends upon how well we plan and how diligently we build. T is for the TIME so patiently spent to bring us through the years. I is for the INITIATIVE of the students and desire to work in spite of fear. M is for our MOTHERS dear, who sacrificed to bring us through. B is what they did for us, the BEST that they could do. E is for the EARNEST work though sometimes hard the the task. R is the ROAD we trod and the choice of paths we took. HERE LIES THE TIMBER, LET US BUILD. Build today, mansions of tomorrow; mansions that will endure the test of the ages. Looking Over— (Continued from page 1) we were slow facing our respon sibilities, we were always wil ling to challenge any other class to surpass us in our ability to do things. On May 30, another school year came to a close with a bang and with the joy at the thought of being Juniors the next year. Our Junior year there were 53 members and it brought us even more responsibilities. For we were faced with entertaining the seniors, which was a pleasure to us. But the greatest pleasure of all was knowing that we were going to be seniors. We left school in June of ’49, with the determination to save so we would be financially able Crown and Scepter Loses Six Members After Good Year The Carver Chapter of the Crown and Scepter Club regrets to see six of its nine members leave with this year’s Senior Class, but it looks back upon the year with satisfaction, for all the members have served well. The programs presented were on a level deserving of an honor group and were a great inspira tion to others. The year was begun with very effective installation services with Dr. Seabrook, president of Fayetteville State Teachers Col lege as guest speaker, at which time three new members were received into the club. The club stands for three car- Character, Excellence of Schol arship, and Excellence of Ser vice. All members have strived to maintain these three virtues and to be worthy of the honor of membership. This year, for the first time the Carver Chapter of the Crown and Scepter Club was asked to provide a speaker for the organ ization’s annual conference on April 29th at St. Augustine’s College, Raleigh, North Caroli na. The theme of the confer ence was “Current Issues and Their Effects on Democracy”. The four subjects under the theme were: “The Hydrogen Bomb,” by Hillside High School, Durham, North Carolina; “F. E. P. C.” by Carver High School, Mount Olive, North Carolina; “Federal Aid to Education,” by Williston High School, Wilming ton, North Carolina; and “Broth erhood” by Washington High School, Raleigh, North Carolina. Delano Barbour was selected to represent the Carver Chapter. All speakers were questioned concerning their topics before the end of the session. Delano was accompanied by Arnette Grady, Mary Wooten, Ardelia Elliott, and Mrs. I. C. McFadden, club advisor. At the school’s annual Honors Day program, the advisor will award honor certificates to the graduating members of the club. This will be the completing ex ercise of the year. to meet all of our obligations and when we entered school on September 9, 1949, we were proud to bear the name “Digni fied Seniors”. We were also .'ware of the goal which for twelve years we had tried so hard to reach. And with the help of our teachers and their untiring efforts and kind words cf encouragement we have come thus far. At last we are experi encing what it actually means to gain something which you have wanted so very badly.
