flag of North Carolina and with
dogwood flowers. Mrs. Dora
Mast's class sang "The Good Old
North State" and 'Tin a Tar
heel." The following children
presented orally the composi
tions which they had written
extolling the climate, good vege
tables, scenery and countless
reasons why North Carolina
would be tops for them:
Wanda Presnell, Shelia Har

the past and future of our state

dents make this a beginning of
their study of the opportunities
that North Carolina holds for
them. He concluded by telling
of a spot on Grandfather Moun

the songs of native birds, the
whispering of the winds among
the balsam and could close out
the busy world. One could tell
that he loved the "Old North
State."
