Long To Be R.emembered
BY PEGGY LILES
Nothing will be able to
erase from the memory of
Ann Earpj Louise Davis,
J. R. Massey, Annie Ruth
Brown, Robert Haskins,
Brenda Sue Stallings, I4rs.
R. M, Meacomes, Miss
Francjs Wilson, Mrs.
Laurine Lassiter, and me
President Bayar's visit to
this community, for that
day was OUR lucky day,
After shaking hands vjith
Mrs. Bayar, Ann Earp de
clared, "I'll never wash
my hand again"| she also
commented on the softness
of Mrs. Bayar's plump hand.
Louise Davis, with her
wholesone and nattiral
beauty, attracted the atr
tent ion of a group of the
Tnrkish men who called her
over to th^ir car for an.’
introduction, Lovdse ;said
they told her, "We want to
meet an American girl to
see what she is like."
FIRST mm SHAICE
The first person to have
the pleasure of shaking
Pre s ident Bayar's hand,
after he stepped off the
car and vjas greeted by
Congressman Cofiley, was
J. R. Massey,
Annie Ruth Brown also
Ghouk the Presijient's hand,
while Robert Haskins and
Bronda Sue Stallings re
ceived a gentle pat on the
head*
Possibly those of us who
received the biggest
thrill of the day wore Mrs,
R. M. Meacomes, Miss
Frances Wilson, and I for
being singled out for
sp^oial. hoiKJi'Si preson+.ing
gifts to l^t.Bi.dflnt ar;d
Mrs. Bayar.
Mrs. Meacomes presented
the President with a flag
and a plaque of North
Carolina.
Miss Wilson gave Mrs.
Bayar a bouquet of lovely
red roses.
I had the utmost pleasure
in presenting to the Presi
dent a copy of our school
paper.
MAYOR'S FEMRKS
Mayor M. H, Griffin vri.ll
possibly never forget his
introductory speech, espec
ially since it has re
ceived so many compliments.
Many have said that every
word was appropriate, and
the comparsion of Bailey
community with Turkey was
very "well said,"
No doubt the committees
responsible for making the
great visit possible will
never forget their efforts
put forth.
The same could be said,
we have an idea, of Con
gressman Cooley, who
fought vigorously to have
the stop made official in
spite of opposition.
SHOCK
About five minutes before
the President arrj.ved Mrs,
Lassiter made ' her last
romd through the building.
Upon reaching', her room,
she was sjfcruck with horror
because the workers had
begun to repair the broken
plaster. She was almost
panicky and felt her
efforts of cleaning were
all in vain.
We don't imagine we woxild
be wrong in saying every
one preseirt will "long Re-
msmhei*^' the thi'ill he re
ceived this particular
morning.

Every member of the staff
agrees that it v;as not
necessary for anyone to
spend any estra money
while she was gone. 1/hat
each did spend was for pur
chasing personal sowenirs.
Oscar Creech of Chovran
College gave the seniors
an "inspiring" talk this
week.
