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 The Bruin of 1951 4 Bebtcateb &o 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 every- thing 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. 7 gltimmtetrattcm M. 8 Jfacultp Mr. H.

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." 11 •entors!

In various inter- views Barks had referred to the “Landon correspondence course in cartooning” he’d taken when he was sixteen. Fascinated, I tried to find a copy of Landon’s course. After a couple of years of searching on eBay and other auction houses – where I was only able to find partial copies – I finally tracked down a com- plete copy from a New York rare book dealer. In the meantime, my research revealed that more than a few cartoonists from Barks’s generation had taken the Landon course.

  • POPEYE Hy Eisman
    POPEYE Hy Eisman Opening Reception: Friday, October 9, 2015: 6-8 pm On View: October 2- October 31, 2015 Van Der Plas Gallery is pleased to announce “Popeye”, the first exhibition in history to display the original works of Popeye by the iconoclast Hy Eisman. The show will feature his original comic strip illustrations from the years 2008 to 2012. About the Artist: Hy Eisman was born March 27, 1927, in Paterson, N.J. He began his career when he created a comic strip for his high school newspaper. After a brief stint in the military, Eisman worked as ghost artist for the popular Kerry Drake comic strip. He soon turned his pen to the comic-book industry, drawing for various publishers of such titles as Nancy, The Munsters, Tom and Jerry and Little Lulu. Eisman's career as a cartoonist took off in 1967, when he started to draw Little Iodine. He really brought the adventures of the bratty, pony-tailed Iodine to life. He left that strip in 1986 to chronicle the adventures of those two more-famous brats, The Katzenjammer Kids, the world's oldest continuing comic strip. In 1994, Eisman added another comic legend to his repertoire when he started drawing the Sunday Popeye strip, which stars Popeye, the salty sailor man, and his crew of lovable co-stars Olive Oyl, Swee' Pea, Wimpy and Bluto who were created by E.C. Segar for his comic strip Thimble Theatre in 1919. Popeye made his first appearance in 1929. He was an instant sensation who would go on to star in hundreds of cartoons, comic books, his own radio show and even a live-action feature film starring Robin Williams.

  • Committee on Evaluation of Comic Books Collection
    Mss. 126 COMMITTEE ON EVALUATION OF COMIC BOOKS COLLECTION Scope and Content: The Committee on Evaluation of Comic Books donated the comic book collection in the Rare Books & Special Collections Department of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. It contains the founder, Reverend Jesse Murrell’s, correspondence, lists and articles regarding the Committee on Evaluation of Comic Books. This committee was founded in Cincinnati in 1948 shortly after Reverend Murrell preached a scathing sermon regarding comic books in May. Reverend Jesse Murrell of Covington, Kentucky organized the Committee. Another founding member was Ernest Miller, then the associate director, later becoming the director of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. The bulk of the collection consists of over 500 comic books from 1948 to 1966 that were evaluated by the committee. In 1950 the committee’s evaluation list was published in the February and October issues of Parents’ Magazine. It was published in this magazine every year from 1950 to 1959. From 1948 to 1960 the committee produced the evaluation list at least once a year, sometimes twice. On May 21, 1970, Mr. Miller was appointed the archivist of the Committee and all materials were housed at the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Main Library. The Committee on the Evaluation of Comic Books continued to meet until 1979. “Our major purpose is to help the people formulate critical judgment as to the comics, then we try to help them buy and read selectively.” Reverend Murrell died in 1972; as did Mr. Miller. It was Mrs.
