ELIZABETH CITY HIGH SCHOOL

Life at Elizabeth City High School is one crammed with activity! The rusthng of pages,

the enthusiasm of club work, the excitement of the gridiron, the band on parade, the

whirl of social life, the friendship of the faculty, the spirit among the classes — vivid

word pictures that describe student life of '47.

THE SPOTLIGHT

TO

MR. MILES CLARKAffectionately known by the students of E.C.H.S. as "Uncle

Miles," who by his unceasing efforts to further the progress

of the school; by his loyal devotion to the band; by his

willingness to cooperate in every possible way with every-

thing we do; and who, most of all, by his friendly, sym-pathetic interest in us and our affairs has endeared himself

to all, we gratefully dedicate this 1947 edition of TheSpotlight.

Four

In this volume of the Spotlight, we view HighSchool life as a treasured musical composition.

From the loud crashing chords of groups downto the tinkling melodies of personalities, we pre-

sent to you in word and picture our student life.

As we unroll our song to you, may its notes

linger.

The history of our class is particularly outstanding for weare the first class to have presented three plays, honored two

senior classes with a dance, given two student body presidents

to E.C.H.S., and last, but not least, received the honor of our

Yellow Jackets winning the State A-2 Championship during

our Senior year.

When we don our caps and gowns as the first class to

graduate with twelve grades, we know that our responsibil-

ities and senior privileges have taught us to be better citizens

of tomorrow.

CLASS HISTORYAY BACK IN '35 on a sunny September morn almost 125 snaggled toothed six-year-old young-sters with angelic looks on their faces entered the Primary School on Parsonage Street.

Slowly our halos began to disappear as we entered the S. L. Sheep School. We spent part of ourtime in the old S. L. Sheep School but due to the building being condemned we were forced to

hold classes in the Primary and High Schools the following years. Proudly we returned to the

new S. L. Sheep School building for the latter part of the sixth grade.

The next year we had the first taste of journalism in publishing the S. L. Sheep News and wedisplayed our talents as the leads in the Dixie Land Minstrel. Then we were sad for it was spring

and we must leave our new school which we had come to love dearly.

After looking forward to happy high school days we were slightly disillusioned, for on ourfirst day we were ruined by the lipstick, shoe polish, and perfume of the Sophomores. The eighth

grade wasn't too bad with the help of the understanding Safety Patrol and our discovery that

teachers are humans. Although some considered it an honor that we were to be the first class to

have a 12-year course, we were eager to be Freshmen and a real class in E.C.H.S. But to our amaze-ment there was little difference during our Freshman year.

We played the role of Juniors our Sophomore year and successfully presented a mystery play,

"Drums of Death" and sponsored a magazine drive. Therefore we were able to honor the Seniors

with the Sophomore-Senior Dance which was held in the Virginia Dare Hotel Ballroom.

Due to the small Senior class, we published The Loudspeaker and The Spotlight the next

year. We dramatized "The Little Minister" and gave a gay festival, the Junior Carnival. Again the

Virginia Dare Ballroom was the scene of much merry-making, our Junior-Senior.

After 11 years of struggle we have finally reached the 12th rung of the ladder of achievement.

To this rung we are proud to add the Senior play, "Strictly Formal," and the successful publica-

tion of The Loudspeaker and The Spotlight.

We realize that what we are today is greatly due to the guiding hands of the faculty and to

them we are grateful. Behind us are many happy days whose memories will linger on. Before us

is a challenge to make the future of the Class of 1947 even more successful than it has been in

the past.

PROPHECYITH THE ASSURANCE that the future of all our classmates of '47 would be revealed this verynight of May 30, 1957 Barbara Pearson and Charles Pritchard relaxed but possessed a sense

of anxiety. The world famous Prince Kris Tal Ball prepared for the ordeal. Lights dimmed andattention centered upon the words of the great swami.

"I see," he said in mystifying tones, "I see fame and happiness for your fellow classmates.

Let us look together into the magic ball."

Upon looking closely the two learned that Glenn Leigh Cox and Jo Ann Pinner were destinedto put into practice experience gained in the Student Cooperative Government. Both will be can-didates for president of the United States — Glenn Leigh for the "No Work, All Play" Party andJo Ann for the "Knock 'Em Cold" Party. Planning to be right up there with them are WilliamPeabody and Robert Midgett, running for seats in the Senate.

"I see," the Prince continued, "a farm in Arizona with a colonial home designed by the ownerin his high school days. Samuel Brown and the former Annette Ward are there with four children

who play the clarinet and trombone with expert precision. They are talking about Wilton Bray,who was foreman of carpenters in charge of constructing their home, and Louise Stanley andCarol Thurecht, who were the interior decorators. In decorating this home these girls made namesfor themselves. Beulah Ammeen and Doris Twiford are employed here as maids and Lillian Goveris a modern governess for the children, who enjoy their dancing lessons which are taught byMargaret Williams. William Norman Wilson tends the Brown's garden, of which a picture of his

tulip path has appeared in the Modern Home and Garden magazine."

Without too much astonishment on the part of Barbara and Charles and too much effort onthe part of Prince Kris Tal Ball, the magic of New York City was brought into the room and a

glimpse into the future of more seniors came forth.

"In New York City Judy Jones is prophesied to be a critic of Broadway plays as well as a

noted artist of the year 1957. Hollie Webster left Faye Liverman and Romona Jennette on the

West Coast in Hollywood where they are busy starring in the movies. Hollie came to New Yorkto take the lead in Anne Adams' newest hit. In nearby theaters Mink Sawyer and Carolyn Phillips

are teamed in another hit. Hilda Austin is contemplating taking Porky and her children. Lamb,Hambone, Beef Chop, and Sirloin back to Manteo to introduce them to grease paint in The Lost

Colony Production.

"A night club in New York is beginning to take form," his voice announced. "The owner is

J. B. Henderson. His wife, the former Eleanor Hettrick, is singer in the night club, while DorothyLee Burgess, Rachel Dunbar, Suzanne Griffin, and Rose Marie Heath have all turned chorus girls

backing up Mrs. Henderson. Their husbands have to watch the stage door, too. The orchestra

leader is Ed Sample who has in his band Carl Anderson playing the piano and Frances Chessonshowing her talent by making those drums really sound big time. A motion picture is soon to bereleased on the 'Bee Hive,' the name of J. B.'s Place."

Waving 'his hands to clear away the vision, the Prince held them in the air, "Joe Ferrell, play-

boy to end all playboys, is a regular patron of the night spot and alternately brings with him twomodels, Rose Marie Askew and Helen Alderman who has her eyes on a slick gambler from the

West Side—namely, Clarence (Big Boss) Castellow.

"In Baltimore Doctors Julian Ross and Nellie Forbes have established the largest hospital in

the nation offering treatment for students with insomnia. Included on the hospital staff of nurses

who administer Vitamin S to patients are Lescelles Davis, Anne Jeralds, Mildred Cuthrell, JuneBurgess, Virginia Layden, and Virginia Lee Brickhouse. Leo Sweatte is head janitor of this hugehospital. He handles his job as a college graduate should."

The scene shifted to Hollywood and the preview of the picture of the screen's latest comedyteam, Inez Askew and Hilbert Harris is being shown.

"Headlines are announcing scientific discoveries made by Professor Joyce Bailey with her

assistant mathematician Norman Armstrong," he resumed after a pause. "I believe this is a travel-

ing salesman I see. It is Robert Charles Hopkins. Beefy is salesman for the Brush Up Your Tech-

nique Brush Company.

"Tillers of the soil are Walter Davis and Ray Etheridge. Ray farms at Weeksville while Wal-

Twenty-eight

ter has an orange and grapefruit orchard in CaUfornia. Tlie former Anne Bennett has persuaded

lier husband, Elmo, to continue living at Weeksville so Florence Small can remain her neighbor.

"Earl Davenport has placed aside his dream of being a professional ball player to become the

best liked milkman in Columbia.

"Elizabeth City claims its share of the class of '47. I see a recently constructed high school andthe principal's office is occupied by Jimmy Preston. There is a teachers' meeting and I see JaneSwindell, teacher of history; Estelle Jones, teacher of commercial studies; and Mary Ellen Blades,

librarian. Physical education teachers are Betty Lou Bell and Bruce Reynolds. The teams they

coach are reported to be the best in the history of the high school.

"The S. 'L. Sheep School serves better meals now that Kathleen Riddick is dietician and Eu-gene Williams cooks all the food. Philip Ray Dixon in new police uniform has his favorite post of

duty on Road Street stopping cars for his children and others to get across to school.

"The mayor of the town is Jimmy Crowe," the Prince continued, "and prominent lawyersinclude Glenn Carlin and Russell Hill. At this moment they are pleading with Judge Doc Ethe-

ridge who had to be awakened from his daily nap. It seems that Genevieve is filing a divorce suit

against Thomas Tillet on charges of refusing to be henpecked. Postmaster Claude Ferrell is con-

ferring with J. B. Heath, a new mailman for the city.

"The circus is in town and everyone goes free because the owners, Ralph Blades and DickBrothers, like to do this for people. Allan Hooper is an orator during the winter, but he spendshis summers as ringmaster of -the five-ring circus."

Barbara and Charles were amazed to find that Arthur Stevenson has succeeded in becominga truck driver; that Bill Mann and Marion Swindell are operating a funeral home jointly and are

considered North Carolina's best known embalmers; that Bill Weatherly is the wealthy owner of

the Moth Club; that Charles White is an announcer over the radio station; that Gid Twiddy ownsa taxi company and drives one for a hobby; that Billy Askew is the best plumber in the city; andthat Billy Cathy shines shoes.

Patsy Morgan is the most popular waitress in town especially with her pilot husband, Her-bert McCoy. Herby is still determined to fly around the world in a jet propelled plane. Hope hemakes it! Fashioned dress makers and designers of evening dresses with straps are Nida Hyattand Virginia Parker who work for Norma Faye Hooper and Helen Jones, owners of the dress

shop. Also in the home town are Eugene Overton, photographer; Meddle Riggs, Nellie MaudeSanderlin, beauticians; Walter Williams, elevator boy; and chain store operators, William andNorman Forbes. Boys' Club director is Loma Hassell who likes to use the phone to hear Billie

Smith, Allie Rieves Bell and Rosa Ballance say "number place."

Marguerite Staples and Marjorie Whaley have established an orphanage and attending the

nursery are Edith Cartwright and Virginia Sears. Over in Camden County Walter Barnard winsthe heart of his congregation every Sunday as he preaches.

"I see a printer, Eugene Woods, and in the same newspaper plant I see Eleanor LaNier, social

editor, and (Eugene Price, sports editor and part owner of the paper you will edit," the Princepointed to Charles. "And you have satisfied yourself by becoming a nurse of no small fame," hepointed to Barbara and bid them farewell.

We, the Class of 1948, have entered into the most exciting phase of our high school

lives. As Juniors we take an important part in most of the extra-curricula activities

carried on in our school.

Heading the list of clubs in which the members are participating is the National

Beta Club. It takes brains to get in, but our class seems to be well represented.

Many of our students feel that the Patriotic Club helps them to become better

citizens.

Ambitious boys and girls who work on the school publications find their goal in the

Quill and Scroll Honorary Society.

The Tri-Hi-Y, a club for girls, and the Hi-Y, a club for boys, both of which are re-

ligious organizations, have taken many of our class under their wings this year.

Ever since we can remember there has been a Girls' Glee Club but it seems the boys

have been keeping their talents to themselves until this year when quite a few took an

interest. A majority of these come from our class and we are very proud of them.

Naturally our athletic teams couldn't get along without us. To prove this, many of

our boys and girls play regularly on the different teams.

This year marked our start in society Avhen we gave the Seniors their annual prom.

After much hard work and fun we produced the Junior play. Transferring the gym into

a gala carnival ground we had a very successful Junior Carnival.

We sponsored moving pictures for the enjoyment of all the school students.

We of the Junior Class hope we have set a good example for those who follow in

our footsteps and may they keep up the high standards which we have endeavored to

carry on.

We, the Class of 1949, are eagerly awaiting next year when we'll be upper-classmen

and have a chance to participate in more activities. But even so, we haven't wasted this

year. We've taken advantage of all our opportunities.

Sports held the interest of the Sophomore class. We eagerly awaited each football

game. At the game we were given a chance to show our school spirit and incidentally,

seven members of our class were on the team. We were proud, too, of our eight mem-bers on the Junior Varsity. We were also represented on the boys' and girls' basketball

teams and the baseball team.

The Sophomores of E.C.H.S. are musically minded. Almost one-fourth of us worethe black and gold uniforms of the band and the voices of eighteen boys and girls of

our class were heard in the Glee Club.

We were well represented in the two Freshman-Sophomore clubs, the Dancing

Club and the Junior Red Cross Council. The Dramatic and Patriotic Clubs, too, claimed

some of us. We also had a part in the making of The Loudspeaker and The Spotlight.

We took the usual required subjects, English where we stuttered through speeches

and debates and Biology where our stomachs turned cartwheels as we cut open worms.

The Latin students worried over infinitives and participles as they visited ancient

Rome with Publius and Furianus. Some struggled over equations in Algebra and dates

in World History. Other boys and girls are preparing themselves for positions in the

world of tomorrow by taking Shop, Home Economics and General Business.

We, the Class of 1950, are looking forward to the day when we, as Sophomores, will

have the privilege of initiating the on-coming Freshmen. We have been in the high

school building for two years, but this is the first year that we have taken any high

school subjects. We took our initiation as eighth graders. Now we are waiting for the

eighth graders from the S. L. Sheep School.

We've had a good year as Freshmen. Perhaps we've felt more a part of the school

because we've been here for two years.

Our required subjects were English, Civics, Physical Education, and Mathematics.

We could choose Latin, Home Economics, Shop, General Science, Glee Club or Band.

The members of this class have participated in many extra-curricula activities.

Some were on the Safety Patrol, in the Dancing Club, Junior Red Cross, and other clubs.

Many took active part in athletics by playing football, basketball, and baseball. Several

played in the band and were members of the Glee Club. Three made the debating teamwhich set a record for a first year class.

Now we are waiting eagerly to travel the halls to our new homerooms and to newsubjects and teachers. We regret, however, having to leave behind our old rooms andteachers who have helped us so much.

The National Beta Club is a non-secret, leadership, service club for high school stud-

ents of America. The purpose of the Beta Club is to encourage effort, to promote char-

acter, to stimulate achievement, to cultivate leadership qualities, to reward merit, andto encourage and assist students to continue their education after high school gradua-

tion.

The motto of the club is "Ducamus alios serviendo"—"Let us lead by serving others."

The colors are black and gold.

The local chapter has assisted in the State Educational Survey, contributed to the

Beta Educational Fund, given medals to those scholars who made the highest scholastic

averages in each class. One of the projects of the club was to buy a new trophy case

for the school.

The Beta Club meets on Thursday of each week. One meeting is devoted to business

matters, the next to entertaining and instructive programs.

PATRIOTIC CLUB

The Patriotic Club of Elizabeth City High School has worked on several projects since its founding in January1942. During the war the club sold war bonds and stamps. Since the war it has turned its attention to civic matters.

Early in the school year the members made a survey to find how many students were saving money in anyway. Finding that saving needed to be encouraged the club decided to give a play to promote this project. Theplay was called "Close Quarters."

A Halloween dance was given in the school gym. The money made at this dance enabled the club to contribute

to the Tuberculosis Fund, the Community Youth Fund, the Salvation Army Joy Fund and the Infantile Paralysis

Drive.

During tlie month of January the Elizabeth City Garden Club asked this group to work with them as a

Junior Garden Club. Talks on shrubbery, arranging flowers, trees and birds have been given at the weekly meetingby ladies from the Garden Club.

The Hi-Y Club of the Elizabeth City High School was first organized in the fall of 1942 and soonits charter was approved by the Student Council. It had as its first advisor Mr. J. G. McCracken,then principal of the school. It has made its presence felt in the school by carrying out manyworthy projects.

The Hi-Y Club is a branch of the Y.M.C.A., a world-wide organization. Lt stands for "CleanLiving, Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship, and Clean Scholarship."

The boys chosen for membership must be in the upper third of their class, must possess the

talent for leadership, and must uphold Christian principles. The challenge to each boy is as the

purpose states, "To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community highstandards of Christian character."

The Tri-Hi-Y Club of tiie Elizabeth City High School ha.s as its main purpose to create, main-

tain and extend throughout the home, school and community high standards of Christian char-

acter.

Regular meetings are held each Tuesday at fourth period to discuss pressing business and to

worship. Joint meetings of the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y clubs are held each month. These give both the

boys and girls a chance to have some fun together. Programs thus far for the joint meetings havebeen "Fostering Boy and Girl Relationships."

Heading the list of projects for the club are renovating the girls' rest room downstairs andmaintaining its sanitation. Each girl contributes to the work of cleaning the room.

Once a month the Tri-Hi-Y Club visits a local church in a body for worship. This, also, is

done with the boys, and is done for the sole purpose of encouraging the members to attend somechurch regularly.

Sending delegates to the State Tri-Hi-Y Conference has been a great privilege for the club.

Elizabeth City has been represented in the conventions for the past two years—^one at RockHill, S. C. and the other at Leaksville, N. C.

Miss Mary Plane Justus Director

Glee Club work in Elizabeth City High School has been most successful this year. There are two periods during

the day in which the girls are trained and two periods each week devoted to boys' glee club work. Though the three

groups have special times for training, they perform as a combined group. There is one pi'actice a week for the

group as a unit.

Under the able direction of Miss Mary Blane Justvis this group of a hundred mixed voices has presented manyand varied programs. On Wednesday before Thanksgiving the Glee Club presented their first program of the year

in the high school auditorium. This was well received by both students and faculty. During the Christmas season

the group toured the city singing Christmas carols. On Sunday night before the holidays at a union service of all

the churches the Glee Club presented a Christmas program. This concert which told of the birth of Jesus in music

and tableaux was sung before an overflowing audience in the S. L. Sheep auditorium.

Later in the year, they sang at several church services and were featured in the commencement program. In

March this youthful group entered the district music contest where it won honors and a chance to go to Greensboro

for the State contest. Participation in this contest won the Glee Club and Miss Justus more fame and acclaim.

In April the group took part in the city-wide Music Festival sponsored by the Elizabeth City Music Club.

Accompanist for the Glee Club is Rodney Trueblood.

To see that the work of the Junior Red Cross is carried out in the school is the purpose of tlie

American Junior Red Cross Council of the Elizabeth City High School. They are in constant con-

tact with the Red Cross headquarters and see that the plans they make are carried out in the

school. The first project of the year was the membership drive. It was very successful with the

school going 100 per cent. Thrifty gift boxes for boys and girls overseas were filled under the

leadership of the council. The council itself fed and clothed a family at Christmas and procured

sick room supplies for the school. Many members of the Junior Red Cross have taken life saving

and home nursing courses. First aid courses have been given during Civics classes. Although the

council has been organized less than a year it has accomplished a great deal.

Elizabeth City High Scliool's football season of 1946 closed one of the most successful seasons

it has had in a long time. With a first team composed of seven experienced players and four re-

turned veterans and with a great deal of hard, clean fighting, they won the state class A-2 cham-

pionship by winning from China Grove by 13-6. This year Elizabeth City was once again a mem-ber of the Northeastern Conference after being out of it during the war.

When Elizabeth City had won all of its scheduled games except one, it was eligible to enter

the opening round of the Class A-2 state championship play-offs. The Jackets played Whiteville

here on Thanksgiving Day. Winning this game led to the play-off with China Grove at Salisbury.

Coach "Honey" Johnson deserves a great deal of credit for this extraordinary year of football

because it was he who, with patience, trained each member of the team.

George Brinson, a most powerful fullback and acting captain of the team, due to the injury of

captain Jimmy Preston early in the season, was named fullback on the Associated Press All-State

team. George Owens tackle, received honorable mention.

Having broken a collar bone in the Taraboro game, Lindberg Holmes was out the remainder of

the season; however, he really made a name for himself by his passing and kicking. His loss was

a severe blow to the team.
