To Effie Iseley (Mrs. A. C.) Green, the teacher who,
in the sixth grade, stimulated our interest in the drama,
cultivated in us a taste for good literature, and demon-
strated to us a life of Christian patience and love, we,
the class of 1951, affectionately dedicate this edition of
our annual, THE LAUREL.

OUR TEACHERS— OUR BEST FRIENDS(A toast given to the teachers by Mary Glenn Randall at the Junior-Senior Banquet 1950)
We’ve worn their patience down to shreds;
We’ve turned their .tresses gray ;
We’ve sent them home with aching heads;
And worked them night and day.
We’ve seldom stopped to give them thanks;
And, sometimes, we don’t mind ’em.
We’ve taxed their nerves with wicked pranks
And thrown spitballs behind ’em.
But through it all they’ve been good sports
And understood and loved us.
While holding Education’s forts.
They’ve got behind and shoved us.
SO
Let’s stand and drink a grateful toast
And try and make amendsTo those who’ve had to stand the most
—
Our Teachers—our best friends.

THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1951
During the course of time, names and faces fade and are lost. But something about
the persons who own those names and faces will always be in the memories of their
acquaintances. Other occupations take the place of memories and set those memories back
into the further recesses of the mind. So, for present and future reference, we shall attempt
to recall a few of the things that have happened and the persons they have happened to
during our four years at Millbrook High.
In our FRESHMAN YEAR, 1947-48, we were a varied group. Some of us were eager,
some of us a little fearful, some of us confident, and some of us unconcerned. But all of us
were affected in some way. We were still getting some of our overabundance of energy
and a touch of wildness out of our systems. We sprayed everyone with water pistols,
blew bubble gum, and did whatever else a mischief-bent mind could devise. We were
unsettled that year, constantly gaining or losing members of the class. Mary Glenn Ran-
dall and Susie Carter joined us in September, but three others—Robert Covington, Louise
Mann, and June Watson—came into our class and left it again before the end of the year.
For various reasons nine boys—Ronnie Chilcoat, Otho Emory, Joseph Franks, John
Thomas Ferguson, Thomas Morris, Bobby Sorrell, Bobby Bailey, David Bridges and
Clarence Jones—left our class after entering high school with us from the elementary grades.
With active spirits, changing of classmates, and some trips to state public buildings
with Mr. Andrews, our civics teacher, and Miss Olive, our homeroom teacher, we ended
our Freshman year.
During our SOPHOMORE YEAR, 1948-49, we settled down to our high school life.
We were now ready to make our high school years into something that we would value for
the rest of our lives. There were a few persons who found it necessary to leave our class
that year and we regretted to see them go—Andy Allen, Paul Rivers, Bill Fuller, Bill
Forest, Ted Green, Frances Williams and Susie Carter. Among these, three went
into the armed service of our country. Andy Allen and Bill Fuller joined the Air Force,
while Ted Green joined the Navy. Our activities that year were mostly in sports and
clubs, although we actually did little, as a group, to merit remembrance. Our homeroom
teacher was Mr. Flammia, who also coached many of us in sports.
From the outset, our JUNIOR YEAR, 1949-50, was different. We boys and girls seemed
suddenly to have grown into men and women. Our appearance, our aims in life, our inter-
ests, our attitudes, and even our habits seemed to have undergone a sudden change. Some,
more eager than others to be on with the serious affairs of life, dropped from our midst.
Jack Moore and Bobby Carter joined the armed forces. Alton Holland, Clarice Lorren,
and Billy Griffin found themselves at the altar, taking marriage vows. Betty Utley, Alice
Stevens, and Franklin Terry went to work. Bobbie O’Daniels completed her high school
work in summer school, but will be back to share graduation honors with us. Otis Ray
dropped out for awhile, but came back to join this year’s Juniors. We also had with us for
a short while Eloise Harrison. We were happy and interested to have Valenty Borysiewicz,
formerly of Poland, join our class at mid-year. We made a trip to the Morehead Plane-
tarium in Chapel Hill and attended the county-wide Career Day sponsored by the Raleigh
Civitan Club. Our basketball team, on which several of our classmates played, were
winners of the Eastern Division of Wake County Conference. Other classmates distin-
guished themselves in various other sports and activities. Some of our class went to
Washington, D.C., on a trip sponsored by the vocational department clubs, the F.F.A. and
the F.H.A. A Junior went to Boys’ State, sponsored by the American Legion. Topping
off our activities with our Junior play, “Orchids and Onions,” and our Junior-Senior
Banquet, we ended a very busy and happy year.
Now we come to the climax, Act IV, OUR SENIOR YEAR, and prepare to ring downthe curtain on our play. We can look back now and see some of our faults and virtues,
our joys and sorrows, the things we have done and the things we could have done. Ouryears here at Millbrook High seem to have whisked by. We have entered into the covetedrole of Seniors and must play our parts with dignity as well as feeling. We often wonderabout the thirty classmates we have lost by the wayside during the past four years—
a
loss of fifty-six percent. We have, as yet, lost no one from the Senior class and havegained Sara Holloman and Lea Williams. Graham Summers got married last summerbut, fortunately, was able to come back to school and also support a wife. Whatta man!
Shakespeare had MACBETH say:
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stageAnd then is heard no more.
But we’d like to prove MACBETH wrong. We have a feeling that we “twenty-fourfrom fifty-four” will find life to be something REAL—not “a walking shadow”—andwe also have a feeling that we shall be “heard” from some more! Only Time, who turnsour Todays and Tomorrows into History, will tell.
To close this reflection of memories, we, the class of 1951, wish to express our deepestgratitude to the persons who gave us our education, who played, for our benefit, the rolesof parents, teachers, advisors, principal, coach and friends. To all we say “Au revoir.”
—William PateHistorian
A BALLAD OF FAREWELL
Class Poem
(All the world's a stage. And all the men and women merely players.)
Millbrook has been our stage
And every year an act.
We entered at an early age
To learn the rules of fact.
For eight long years “below”
We studied and rehearsed
So the “3 R’s” we all would knowAnd in our “lines” be versed.
Then came our high school days
To fulfill all our dreamsWith leading roles in class night
plays,
In fun, and on the teams.
We all have had a chance
To show what we could do
—
To read and write, declaim anddance,
Or sing songs—old and new.
Now as the curtain nears
And slowly starts to fall
We brush away our salty tears
And cry to one and all
:
Behold my furrowed brow.My wrinkles and gray hair.
I didn’t learn to ‘Do it now’
;
I courted ‘I don’t care.’
An Enemy or FriendOld Time is bound to be,
And he will kick us at the endInto Eternity,
So, freshmen, please take heedAnd always do your best,
You can no other way succeed.
We've put it to the test!
—Elizabeth Catlett
Class Poet
PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1951
The time is 1956—five years from the night a small class graduated from Millbrook
High School. Yes, it’s the class of ’51. Some members of this class are still in Millbrook;
others have sought larger realms to satisfy their longings. Now that television is so
advanced, we can see what our old classmates are doing, as we look at the screen of
the television set. This is what we behold.
Since basketball has become such a favorite on television, we are watching a gamebetween the Flying Saucers and the Rockets. Of course we are rooting for the Flying
Saucers because two of the leading players are none other than Bobby MacMillan andJerry Wood.
Another popular sport is baseball. We see Proctor Barham, a second Babe Ruth,
playing for the New York Yankees.
Hmm—The set is clearing; look what we have here—a dog kennel which is owned byElizabeth Catlett. Some of the finest canine breeds in the country come from her kennels.
Gee! Look at Mary Glenn Randall. Can you believe it? She is the editor of the Ladies’
Home Journal. William Pate, the public accountant, is telling her about hearing Allen
Ferguson, the sports commentator, over CSBY.
We see that two of our classmates have settled down to a happy family life. They are
Graham Summers, who is now manager of the A&P Tea Company, and Donald Moore,who is now running his own Drive-In theatre. While we are viewing Raleigh, let’s look in onEdwards and Broughton where we see as chief printer, Ted Green.
The scene has changed now. We see flying over dear, old Millbrook, a squadron of
jets. Who could be the boys who have made flying a career? They are Paul Mangum,Lawrence Crabcree and Tommy Carter.
We see a modern building on the screen. The architect is our own Jimmy Reid. Thepresident of the Ultra-Modern Cotton Mill is Donald Holmes; Bobby Smith is manager.The chief mechanic of the miU’s trucking fleet is Bill Norwood.
Our eyes view next a beautiful model dressed in a stunning glass gown of her creationreminiscing with the world famous crooner. Lea Williams. Yes, it’s Barbara Beddingfieldin New York. There she sometimes sees Valenty Borysiewicz, who is working as an atomicphysicist.
Peggy Smith is now personnel manager of Hudson Belk’s, while Sarah Holloman is
the superintendent of nurses at Mayo Clinic.
The scene has changed to the State Fair, where we find Ernest Goodwin putting on anexhibition with Jack Kochman and his Hell Drivers.
Last, we see deep in the heart of the Belgian Congo, Grady Barnes looking for someunknown animal for the New York Zoo. Could it be “The Thing”?
The light fades on the screen and brings to an end our visual journey with the class of1951 of Millbrook High School. Suddenly we realize we’re sleepy, but we’re so happyto have seen our dear classmates again.
Grady Barnes and Donald MooreProphets
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1951
As we, the class of ’51, draw near the last act of this role we’ve been playing for the
past four years, we look back on the days at ”01e Millbrook with loving thoughts oi
our teachers, classmates, friends, grademothers, and all who have made this role of our
life a success. They not only have aided in forwarding our educational activities, but
have been understanding in all our social problems as well. Now, we leave our most
prized possessions to those loved ones and to those who will be taking the leading parts
after we are gone.
ARTICLE I
To our friends in the lunchroom, we leave thanks for such well balanced meals and for
such a friendly atmosphere in the lunchroom.
ARTICLE II
To our own Mrs. Haithcock, we leave “just love.” She is always willing to listen to any
trouble or worry we may have.
ARTICLE III
We leave to the grade teachers love and our deepest appreciation for their guidance and care
through the years. Some of the teachers are still with us who were so patient with us down in
the grades. To those of you who were not with us then, we leave our thanks for your
interest in us during our Senior year.
ARTICLE IV
To those who will be entering high school next year, we leave our best wishes, may you
share the many joys we have shared.
ARTICLE V
To the Freshman Class, we leave a practically new classroom in the Vocational Building.
ARTICLE VI
To the Sophomores, we leave a wonderful homeroom teacher. Please be good to her and
ease her load, if possible.
ARTICLE VII
To the Juniors, we leave the warmest room in school and the leadership of the high school,
plus a wonderful teacher and advisor.
ARTICLE VIII
We leave to our Grademothers thanks for such wonderful times during our school days.
ARTICLE IX
We wish to leave the high school teachers these few remembrances:
To Mr. Beasley, we leave hope and lots of luck in obtaining the new school building.
We leave Mrs. Johnston a Senior Class that has a few girls instead of all boys.
To Mr. Sledge, we leave some Senior boys to take agriculture, instead of only one.
To Mrs. Kahn, our most understanding teacher and friend, we leave deepest love and
thanks for all the many little things she has done for us that no one knows about.
To Miss Olive, the one who started us in high school, we leave a vote of appreciation for
giving us such a fine start.
We leave to Mr. Flammia, our coach and friend, best wishes for him and his family. Wehope he will continue to do as much for Millbrook as he has done during the past three
years.
To Mrs. McCormick, we leave a study hall, not quite so crowded, and our thanks for all
she has done for us.
ARTICLE X
Now, each Senior wishes to leave a personal gift to a certain Junior:
Peggy Smith leaves her lunch hour (and I do mean Hour) to Bobby Jones and Betty Rogers.
Graham Summers, the married member of our class, leaves Jane Davis, the engaged mem-
ber of the Junior Class, a book, “Marriage and The Home.”
Lawrence Crabtree leaves his cute ways to Otis Matheney.
Allen Ferguson leaves his height to Pat Marshall and Rachel Strother.
Jimmy Reid leaves his neatness to Gary Honeycutt.
To Reggie Edwards, Bobby MacMillan leaves his ability to play basketball.
Ernest Goodwin leaves his quiet, but mischievous ways to Harold Evans.
To Betty Summers, Mary Glenn Randall wills her sweet, modest manner.
Paul Mangum leaves his leadership ability to Vernon Phillips.
Proctor Barham leaves his accuracy in typing to Richard Evans.
To Yates Milton, Jerry Wood leaves the curlers with which to curl his hair.
Grady Barnes wills his timekeeping position for the basketball games to Max Jenks.
Sarah Holloman leaves her pleasant and mild disposition to Peggy Utley and Ethel Thatcher.
Ted Green wils his temper to T. A. Barber, Jr. and hopes he will be able to control it.
To Jimmy Bailey, Tommy Carter leaves a girl like Gertrude.
Bobby Smith leaves his unexcitable manner to Peggy Dean and Sarah Stevens.
To Betty Lou Sorrell, Valenty Borysieweicz leaves his ability to speak six different
languages.
Bill Norwood leaves his knowledge of cars and motors to Sally Stevens and Aurelia Harton.
Donald Moore leaves his “way with the teachers” to Linwood Lowery and Nathan Batts.
Lea Williams leaves his northern brogue to Carol Meares.
To Ted Watkins and Cary Ray, Donald Holmes leaves his attentiveness in English class.
Elizabeth Ann Catlett leaves her studious ways to Virginia Utley and Evelyn Whaley.
William Pate wills his knowledge of French to Marvin Barham.
And, to Dorothy Bailey and Betty Jean Crabtree, Barbara Beddingfield leaves her first
period office job, hoping they will run all the errands and ring the bells on time.
Now, in closing, we, the graduates of 1951 wish our faculty, the student body, parents and
friends the very best luck, now and forever.

CREED
We are the Future Homemakers of America.
We face the future with warm courage,
And high hope,
For we have the clear consciousness of seeking
Old and precious values.
For we are the builders of homes,
Homes for America’s future.
Home where living will be the expression of everything
That is good and fair.
Homes where truth and love and security and faith
Will be realities, not dreams.
We are the Future Homemakers of America.
We face the future with warm courage,
And high hope.
F. H. A. CHAPTERMEMBERS

hands of the youth of today.
TIME FOR EVERYTHING
Take time to work—it is the price of success.
Take time to think—it is the source of power.
Take time to play—it is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to read—it is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to be friendly—it is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream—it is hitching your wagon to a star.
Take time to love and be loved—it is the privilege of the gods.
Take time to look around—it is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to laugh—it is the music of the soul.
—Old English Prayer.

FIVE RULES FOR SPORTSMANSHIP1. Be courteous to officials and accept their decisions in a sportsmanlike manner.
2. During free throws “silence is golden.”
3. “Booing” is the worst form of sportsmanship known to the American public.
4. Every game is of vital importance to someone. Be courteous, whether you are in-
terested or not.
5. Cheer your team to victory if you can, but accept defeat in a gracious manner.
