PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL

         GRADUATING CLASS OF 1967

             CELEBRATES 40 YEARS

     Saturday, June 9, 2007, was a glorious day for the members

of Phillips High School Class of 1967.   It was a day of joy,

happiness, and remembrance as they reunited at their alma mater

to meet, greet and enjoy “A Walk Down Memory Lane.”

More than forty students enjoyed the fun-filled 2-hour event

that included a complete indoor and outdoor tour of the school,

reminiscing and snacking on hors d’oeuvres. A few alumni got

the opportunity to become children again as they ran and played

on the floor of the gymnasium.

      Later that evening approximately eighty-five students, former

instructors and friends gathered at Stacks Restaurant in

Tarboro, NC where they enjoyed a dinner buffet, introductions,

memorial tributes and a reunion address delivered by Mrs.

Nellie Hunter, Retired Educator at Phillips.

     A photographer was present throughout the evening for

individual and group photos as well as a DJ who provided a

variety of music as they danced the night away.

Throughout the evening seven drawings were held and the

winners were happy to receive such lovely gifts. In addition to

the traditional pen, pencil and paper souvenirs, each individual

received a goody bag filled with information on life-long learning,

health education, healthy eating, recipe books on healthy

cooking and a Graduating Class Collage.

      The reunion festivities culminated on Sunday, June 10, 2007,

as classmates gathered for worship at New Hope Missionary

Baptist Church in the Dunbar Community of Battleboro to hear

an inspiring message by Pastor Samuel Clemons, Jr.

             ...Surely! “Memories do last forever”…
