As you look back through the years and try to recapture the joys of your high school days, we hope that The Bruin can bring back the wonderful memories which should not be forgotten. We hope that you in years to come, will never forget your classmates with whom you have had so many good times nor the teachers who have tried so hard to keep you on the right track.

We sincerely hope that The Bruin can help you relive these priceless memories, so to you, the students, we present this

Cfje Prtun of 1951 who has for many years been a teacher in the high school. She is the one who has given up her time and her wants to participate in the high school activities, to help the students when they need it and who is most loved by all of the students. Without her, many little things which help run a high school smoothly would go undone.

To show our appreciation of everything you have done for us, we gratefully dedicate to you, Mrs. Albert Brinson, this

DOCTOR AND MRS. OSCAR A. KAFER II

who have for many years worked toward the betterment of our high school. They have been very active in creating interest in the school bond election for they realize just how important it is that the boys and girls of today receive a better education than that received by their fathers. They are working toward a goal which will benefit every one in and around New Bern—a new public high school. A goal which we, the students of New Bern high school, appreciate.

To thank you, Dr. and Mrs. Oscar A. Kafer II, for all you have done in aiding us, we gratefully dedicate to both of you, this

The Bruin of 1951

5 Bobby Daniels, our classmate who lost his life as a result of a traf- fic accident, November 9, 1949.

Although Bobby isn't with us physically, his carefree manner and fun-loving nature will be with us in our work, our play, in everything we do. g>tubent Council

First row: Dot Coplon, Carolyn Wood, Jack Menius, Treasurer; Jim Lane, Sergeant-at-Arms; Ann McSorley, Joe Anthony, Emalou Harman. Second row: Mrs. Sara Hunnings, Adviser; Agnes Barden, Secretary; Joe Mavretic, Vice-President; Jack Gaskins. Last: Dollie S. Bray, President.

The cooperative Student Council of New Bern High School aims to promote better relationship between the faculty and students and promote projects that will be beneficial to all. The election of members is patterned after our democratic elections.

This year the council has sponsored an orientation day, published a handbook, had daily devotionals, a homecoming pep rally and dance, and with the aid of other organizations a Sadie Hawkin's Day.

We have been striving to render useful service to both student

and faculty, and hope that as you glance back you can see evidences

of your student council at work.

Class; Visitor?

Entering high school as Freshmen, we were a little green and did not know which way to turn. As we became accustomed to high school ways we elected our class leaders: President, Ann Arm- strong Beck; Vice-President, Marea P. Kafer; Secretary, Betty Lou Abbott; and Treasurer, Worth Dees. That year we sponsored a Freshman dance, held at the Recreation Center. What a class and what a dance we had!

In September of '48 we again entered high school; this time as "silly sophomores." We did the same thing that year, elected officers and had an informal dance (we were the ones with "itchy feet") at the Recreation Center and that year we elected Sophomore Superlatives. Our officers were: President, Emalou Harman; Vice-President Joe Anthony; Secretary, Becky Barnhardt; and Treasurer, Sonny Taylor. Oh, for the life of a sophomore, what fun we did have!

Our third year in high school came around making us Juniors. That year we lost one of our classmates, Bobby Daniels, a fellow we have all missed. That year proved to be the busiest, for we had a Jr. -Sr. to sponsor. To raise money our officers: President, Laurence Stith; Vice-President, Joe Anthony; Secretary, Becky Barnhardt; and Treasurer, Albert Brinson, got christmas cards and stationary for us to sell. Our jamboree really helped to fill our bank. The banquet and prom were given May 12 and we all agree "that it couldn't be beat."

Now we are the dignified and sophisticated Seniors, completing our high school careers. This year we can take it easy and await graduation when we will make our own path in life.

The class of 1951 has always been successful and if we continue to work together, peacefully, we can rightly be named "The Most Successful Class of New Bern High School."

Now that we have become successful and have proven our worth in the world, we're going to take a six months voyage on the good ship, "U.S.S. Freedom."

Guiding us on our world tour is the Admiral Bud Franz, who is ably assisted by Edwin Dickinson, first mate; Hilton Elks, second mate; and Albert "Runt" Price and Richard Stephenson, stewards.

Our toastmaster, Tommy Brite, gives us several interesting accounts of his career on the stage. The reunion is a huge success and N.B.H.S. can well be proud of the graduates of the class of 1951.

Our freshman year in N.B.H.S. was very mixed up. For the first time in our lives we had about five different teachers and so many new rooms to go to. We also had to put up with a lot of teasing about being "little Freshmen." Yes, it was a trying, but wonderful year. We'll always remember those football, and basketball games, and of course those hayrides. The Freshman class officers were: President, Barry Eubanks; Vice-President, Joe Mavretic; Secretary, Temple Daniel; and Treasurer, Joe Mac Harper. Our second year in high school was so different than our first year. We were by this time already acquainted with N.B.H.S. We sponsored a Sophomore Dance and the proceeds went to our Junior-Senior. At the end of the year, we were all happy, to think that next year we would be Juniors. Our Sophomore Class officers were: President, Robert Shriver; Vice-President, Joe Pearson; Secretary, Mary Windley Dunn; and Treasurer, Bill Robinson. Our Junior year in N.B.H.S. has been the best yet!!! At the first of the year we were rushing around trying to elect our class officers. Then we had dances after every football game, the proceeds going to the Junior Class for the Junior-Senior. We had a Halloween Ball which was a wonderful success. The students sold magazine subscriptions also for the purpose of raising money for the Jr. -Sr. Two big dances were held during the Christmas Holidays. Then came the big day when our Jr.-Sr. was to be. There was a band, good food, and everything turned out fine. Oh! yes the Jr.-Sr. of 1951 was the best of N.B.H.S.

Next year we will be Seniors and taking part in many activities and hoping we can recieve that higher education.

Marion Evans, Secretary; Gloria Davis, Treasurer; Annette Lee, President; and Emily Hollister, Vice- President.

Last year we were the timid freshmen of N. B. H. S. led by Joe Piner, President; Johnny Hoke,

Vice-President; Dorothy Baker, Secretary; and Emily Hollister, Treasurer.

This year we are sophomores and have as our main project the task of raising money for our

Junior-Senior next year. We had a talent show, "The Sophomore Review," and our performers were Sophomores as well as other students. The "Review" was a hit and the large audience proved that fact. We also had a sophomore prom; at this dance we named our superlatives voted on by the class and each was presented with small awards.

As all good things come to an end, so did our second year in high school, one of the best years, for we will never forget the good times we've had—the football games, bug collection, basketball, our prom, May Day, the new friends we've made and all of our teachers. All of us are eagerly awaiting our Junior year which will be the "next best" year of fun and the spectacular Junior-

Senior which we think will be the best.

Harriette Hobby, Secretary; Charles Ashford, President; Diana Wooley, Vice-President ; and Barbara Braddy, Treasurer.

Greetings freshman! Our first year in N. B. H. S. is over and what a year it turned out to be; getting use to so many teachers, finding our way in the halls and being led by our capable class officers.

We are freshmen today but tomorrow we will be seniors. Doesn't seem possible, does it? No, it doesn't, but the next three years will fly by and we will soon be the seniors of N. B. H. S. Before our senior year there is one test we must pass having the best Junior-Senior ever. Each year the junior class declares theirs is the best, but ours will be tops! To make it tops, we talked up the bond issue, which, if passed, will give us a new high school complete with a gym, cafeteria, and swimming pool. The only way to have the best Jr. -Sr. is to work hard and that we will do. Future Sophomores— it will be up to you, do your best for if anyone can—you, the future leaders of N. B. H. S. —can! Good Luck.

BASEBALL HIGHLIGHTS OF '50

The baseball season in the year 1950 was kind to the New Bern Bears. With their hard work and ever-increasing effort, the Bears were victorious in all but four games. The game of the season was the one between New Bern and Greenville in which. Bunk Stewart struck out 23 opponents for an all-time record in Central High. Two close games with Kinston had to be continued in extra innings as did one with Roanoke Rapids. Hitting laurals went to James Westbrook who has been playing with the Bears for three seasons. Westbrook was also the best infielder for the Bears. Co-captains Ed Hill and Jimmy Brown saw Stewart turn in win after win with his whip like pitching. Due to his fine pitching, Stewart was considered the most valuable player on the squad. Coach Jim Dickey was highly pleased with the outcome of the season, but is looking forward to a better one next year. (As all coaches are.) Fielding was the Bears greatest handicap, because practice periods had to be shortened due to schedule conflicts. The outfielders did a great job of breaking up the scoring opportunities of their opponents. Jack Carden was the outstanding outfielder. The sluggers for New Bern were Carden, Skinner, and Westbrook with their long drives and triples. Bub Williams, who broke into the starting line-up the last part of the season, was the most valuable reserve. Last but not least is catcher Hardy Swindell who was behind the plate every game of the season and who instructed the other catchers. The starting line-up: 1st, Jimmy Brown; 2nd, Forney Hoke; 3rd, James West- brook; SS, Jack Gaskins and Jack Carden; CF, Jack Carden; LF, Mark Skinner; RF, Ed Hill and Bud Williams; Catcher, Hardy Swindell; Pitchers, Bunk Stewart, Fred Taylor, Sonny Taylor, Jack Gaskins.

The marshals of New Bern High School are students selected from the Junior class, who have maintained an average of 90 or above during their three years in high school. Nine students are selected and the student having the highest average is the chief marshal and the other eight, four boys and four girls, are her assistants.

The eight marshals usher at the Baccalaureate Sermon and the graduation exercise and the chief marshal leads the seniors to their respective places.

Being chosen a marshal is an honor which comes to those who have made high grades since entering high school. It is a goal towards which all high school students, especially the freshmen, should work.
