CLASS POEM

v;e the class of nineteen hundred forty-eight Have begun a voyage in these United States.

We know not where the paths may lead But any place will do if we succeed.

Twelve years of problems we've had to face, But we looked to the future with faith and grace.

Now that they have past we dread to go And leave our friends we've trusted so.

Grace Sawyer

CLASS HISTORY

Four short years ago in 1944, fourteen eager, restless youth embarked on their four year high school journey. After getting adjusted to five different teachers and the high school curriculum, these Freshmen found their place in all school activities and, incidentally, have held their way throughout the voyage. The outstanding event of the Freshman year was the Father-Son, Mother-Daughter banquet, which was given by the home economics ana agriculture classes in the home economics classroom. At commencement one of the Freshmen, Corinne Harris, won the home economics medal and a rug donated by Mr. Carson Tunnell for the girl showing the most progress in home economics.

At the beginning of the Sophomore year Grace Sawyer enrolled with the class. An event worthy of mention was the negro minstrel in which many of the Sophomores had a part. In fact, Vonda and Gilbert played the leading roles and did a swell job of Mammy and Pappy. At commencement Edward Carawan won the high school citizenship medal.

The Junior year was a busy one. First of all there was the Junior-senior play “George in a Jam", then the Junior- senior banquet. It was a gala affair at Mattamuskeet Lodge. There were also the negro minstrel, the Christmas program, field day, and basketball tournament at Washington. Gilbert Harris won the citizenship medal this year.

So dawned the Senior year destined to be the most important and enjoyable in class history. John Swindell enrolled in the class. As several members had left at various times there were only eight dignified Seniors. The sponsoring of the first yearbook in Swan Quarter School was the most outstanding accomplishment of the whole career, save graduation, which nothing can surpass. Editing THE QUARTERIAK, was really a momentous task. Sometimes it seemed almost too big for eight people. But with the whole¬ hearted cooperation given by everyone—teachers, students, parents, advertisers, veteran classes—it had to be a success.

Nor was the Senior year all work and no play. There were the lovely banquet and gay parties in honor of the Seniors coupled with the Beta Club, Christmas, and home economics parties.

And then came graduation. As the Seniors embark on their life's voyage each will strive to uphold the class motto "Be not simply good—be good for something."

CLASS PROPHECY

Some say that dreams are but idle fancy—but I say dreams are my working plans. Upon the fitful future I would play in contemplation of what lies beyond portals in the garden of tomorrow.

All this do I dream while seniors flit the hours away in the enchanted garden.

Far across the ocean in that famous city of fashions, Paris, I see Grace Sawyer designing the hair fashions of tomorrow.

Down in Flordia where it is always warm and sunny Vonda Cuthrell is sitting at an office desk as secretary of a rich orange grower.

As I look in on the Home Economics students at East Carolina Teachers College I find Corinne Harris busy at work. Who knows? She may even take Mrs. Williamson’s place in Swan Quarter High School some day.

One block down the street is a theater where a famous band is appearing the leader of which is Edward Carawan. Three blocks down the street from the theater is a large modern hospital. In this hospital I see Nellie Cahoon all dressed in white carrying on the duties of a graduate nurse.

Far, far up in the high skyscraper of Manhattan sits the best known lawyer in the land, Glenn O’Neal. He is bound to win his case as he has a way of making everyone see his point.

Out on the edge of town is a large modern slaughter house. Several people are busy at work but there is one who seems to be supervisor. He looks like one of our friends, oh yes, it is Gilbert Harris.

I walk down the street past the city barber shop. Several are cutting hair but the head barber is John Swindell.

HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS

In 1945 fourteen happy, carefree boys and girls moved

the draggy grammar grades into the fast-moving high

school. For eight years they had looked forward to the time

When they would be Freshmen and could move from one class¬

room to another. They quickly caught on to the ways of

changing classes and to the constant ringing of bells.

When 1946 rolled around, only nine of the Freshen

group Showed up. However, two new - students, Eloise

Smithwick from Belhaven and Leo Bishop from Tarboro, Joined

the class making eleven Sophomores. This year Lena Flowers

was chosen leader, and they soon became accustomed to the

confusion of being Sophomores.

In 1947, Lemmie Dell Garrish and Lena Flowers did not

come back to school, but there were still eleven members for

Percy Harris and Louise Howerin enrolled in the class. This

year, the -Jolly Juniors,- under the reign of Eloise

Smithwick, are rushing around preparing to give the Seniors

a big banquet. So far this has been the most glorious year

in high school. i„ spite of j*. Hood,s t9asingi physles>

and typing, they have been able to hold their own. And, as

the end of the year comes, they are looking, forward to 1949

and their turn at being Seniors. They hop, next year to

oake a good impression on the teachers who have tried to

teach them some plain old "horse sense."

jt3PKOfi\oft£5 The Sophomores have grown up from the "green" Freshmen

they were last year to the "ambitious" Sophomores they are this year. To show that they are wide awake Sophomores many of them are in the F. H. A. and F. F. A. Clubs. Some of the members are on the Reflector Staff and athletic teams, in the glee club and Beta Club.

Proving their capable judgement they ulected the following officers who have served efficently:

LaRue McKenney-President Marlene Jennette-Vice-president Clara Mason- Secretary Garth Jarvis-Treasurer Arlene Cahoon-Reporter

The Sophomores having made the most of this year are looking forward to being "Jolly Juniors."
