Koach Kenneth, aided by a
number of aspirants for a place
on the regular "team," spent
several hours at work on the
boys' court Saturday, and as a
result of their efforts, two new
goal posts, with new "baskets"
now adarn the court. When-the
weather permits, pratice work
will be resumed, and the team
Have expressed their willingnes
to play any team in any of our
neighboring towns. Perhaps, a
good game would serve to show
just what our team is made of;
whether it is A-l, or scrub. If
it resulted in defeat, it might
reduce our team's egotism so

2. The unlimited services of
a staff of expert teachers.
3. Exceptional facilities for
work.
4. A real training for life. .
5. A favorable introduction
to the outside world.
THE STUDENT GIVES:
1. A fair share of time and
effort to the course of study.
2. Loyal co-operation to the
teacher.
3: Regular and persistent at
tion to the daily lessons.
4. Time sufficient.to complete
the course.
5. Efficient service after, he
finishes the course.

two aspects of the question bal
ance each other.

PRINCIPAL PRAISES PROM
PTNESS OF PUPILS

Professor Wright, in diAcuBS
ing "school spirit" recently,
made the statement that never
had he found* pupils, taken as
a whole, who seemed so inter
ested in the Bchool work as he
had found in the local school.
An example cited was the ef
fort put forth by the pupils, es
pecially those who live a long
distance from school, in being
as punctual and "on-the-dot' on
rainy, snowy days as in favor
able weather. The record book
shows up cleaner this year than
ever before, in that there are
fewer tardies and absentees
than in any preceding school
year. He admitted that a stu
dent had much to stay home
for, in weather of"the sort that
has been prevalent during the
past few weeks, and intimated
that he was very favorably im-i
pressed with such fine display)
of loyalty and punctuality on'
the part of the entire student
body. This, if we can see the
matter from a correct viewpo
int, speaks well for our school.

ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS
When children go to school
day after day through rain, the
snow, and sleet, and mud, when
they are there every day on
time, those who are most con
cerned should at once ask them
selves if there isn't something
more that they can,do to give
the state and cpuntry well equ
ipped citizens.
It' is gladly announced to the
partons or citizens of Ahoskie
High School that the attend
ance is exceedingly encourag
ing, that some of the grades
i have one hundred per cent in
attendance though many of the!
students live at a distance, the|
clouds continue to pour forthf
'their rain, and snow and the
! roads to increas'e their mud.
The Ahoskie School faculty
is glad because of such interest
by both patrons and pupils and
! rejoices to know that there are
I so much material out of which I
to build real meh and women, j
The very best interest and.co
I operation are earnestly asked
! that these worthy children may
be surrounded with no other in
fluence than that which will
1 lead them into a life of the val
ue to humanity and to God.
L$t every citizen of Ahoskie
pledge himself or herself to the
giving of its children a full
chance to develop into the ve
ry best and to see that this
chance is well used. ?

IN MEMORIAM
At the midnight hour of Dscom

finite wisdom, to visit the hom of Mr.
T- F. Wiggins and Uke from him hie
beloved wife, Mery E. Wiggins, aged
72 yearn. /
Mrs. Wiggins was a great sufferer
in the last years, having been strick
en with rheumatism. She bore her
pain well and seemed to be ready for
her last call. She waa a member of
the Powellaville Baptist chnrch and
the Missionary Society there. She lov
ed her work and was always ready to
respond to any call for the uplifting
of the Kingdom of God.
She was kind and loving in her ho
me, a good neighbor and a friend to
all whom she knew. She was sick only
a few days and when the trying hour
had come and she knew die would
spon be gone, forever, she threw her
arms about her loved ones and asked
them not to grieve, for the golden
pleasure trip was mighty nice.
She leaves to mourn her loaa a hus
band, one daughter, and three sons,
T. F. Wiggins, A. S. Wiggins, J. B.
Wiggins, and Mrs. Mary Robertson.
The funeral services were held in
the Mars Hill church on Sunday, at
2:30 o:clock, January 1, 1022,'Rev.
Mr. Dailey officiating, after which her
remains were taken to the family bu
rying ground at Roeemead, where she
was laid to rest to await*the Resur
rection morn.
It was a sad new year to the loved
onea, but they condoled themselves
with the thought that her aches and
pains were gone forever and that she
was in a better land with Him who
doeth all things well.
Sleep on dear mother,
Free from care and pain, ?
In that world of unknown beauty
tfe hope to meet you again.
A FRIEND.
