As newcomers to Car ver High, we embarked upon our first year as high school stu dents who were determined to be an active, energetic class. Under the leadership of Wil ma Hargrove, our class presi dent, the class has made some steps forward and lists among its accomplishments, the dona tion of S25.00 to our school cafe teria. The class has presented two public programs, namely, “A Womanless Wedding” and “A Variety Show”, featuring 9 A class members. The proceeds were used for current school •drives. Three members of our class, Delores Hayes, Kay Har- riston, and Marilyn Herring, won 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes in the Declamation Contest between the two ninth grade divisions re cently. The 9A class has great hopes for future years and our motto is “Let’s have the best class”. 9B Class Summary The 9B class, under the guid ance of our teacher, Mr. N. A. Cheek, has presented three chap el programs. They were as fol lows: On Nov. 11, 1949, the 9A and 9B classes presented ‘Caval cade of America.” On February 10, 1950, the 9B class presented a round table discussion centered on the Abolition of Slavery; on April 22, 1950 we presented an •oratorical contest. Prizes were given to the best three contest ants. The awards were to: De- lores Hayes, first prize; Kay Harriston, second prize; and Ma rilyn Herring, third prize. During the Red Cross Drive the members of 9B participated fully and willingly. Our coop eration was commendable in the popularity contest, ticket selling VUj.' cihd oi!iier programs. Since the beginning of school, one of the relatives of Wade Durham passed. We, the mem- l>ers of 9B, showed our sympa thy by a card of condolence. In the school years to come, we hope to improve our reputa tion and become better students of tomorrow. We also wish to thank our teachers for their untiring efforts and cooperation. It has been an ■enjoyable year for all of us. A Section of Tenth Grade Closes Year The A Section of the tenth grade was officially organized in October 1949, under the super vision of Mr. W. I. Goins, our new homeroom advisor. Officers elected for the year were: Wade Kornegay, presi dent; Charlotte Wynn, vice pres ident; Marion Wooten, secretary, and Alfonza King, treasurer. Major objectives for the year were: Self Realization, Human Relationships, and Civic Respon sibility. As a result of cooperative ac tion we have accomplished the following during the year. On October 28, a program observing XJnited Nations Day was pre sented. On November 10, Negro History Week was commemor ated with a portrayal of the ac complishments of Negroes in Music. On March 21 the Easter season was observed with a pro gram depicting the resurrection in a series of poems. The vice president of our class, Charlotte Wynn, was crowned “Miss Car ver” as a result of our class re porting the largest amount of money in the popularity contest sponsored by the Student Coun cil. Our class has been repre sented in all of the activities of the school during the year and we look forward to filling some of the top posts in the program •of events for the coming year. Happenings In The 11th 6 Class The members of the eleventh B class selected their officers and made plans for the year at their first meeting during the second week of the school year. The of ficers chosen were: Hattie Har dy, president; Paul Taylor, vice president; Janet Kiellyl secre tary; and Elizabeth Smith, treas urer. With a new sponsor, Mr. E. W. H.

On the honor roll during the entire year have been Annie Carraway, Joseph Kornegay, Joyce Korne gay, Willie G. Royal, Donald Carr and Hattie M. Hardy. Hat tie Hardy and Joseph Kornegay ware installed in the Crown and Scepter Club during a very im pressive ceremony earlier in the year.

The class made a trip to Golds boro on April 15 to participate in Career Day. They are now planning for the exciting event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom. We look forward to our summer vacation and our senior year with great enthusiasm and interest, and with a program which we hope will challenge those who follow us. Joyce Kornegay. Doris Thomas.
