EXCELLENT SCHOOL In 1892, when Trinity College was moved from Trinity, N. C, to Durham, N. C, a first class class pieparatory school was established at Trinity, occupying the buildings formerly occupied by the college. It has-been the purpose of this school through these years to give its students thorough preparation for college work, and to equip them for large spheres of usefulness in their respective communities. The trustees rtalize that a great many young mm and young women can npver go to col'fge. Keeping this pi mind thuv have in ranged such tvursesits would be of the greatest vantage to the student preparing fur his life work. This school, like all other under takings, has had quire a checkered experience. It s d Ht times that the school was iIii..iih1 to go down, but it has ralliHil every time with a largpr and ntrmiger support, and a la''y r .miepiKin of irs duty. To day i .' r-iirol'iiien' is the largest in i s hioiory. ml the lookoutis bright r than it h is ever been. Itsfriendi aie increasing every iUy. Arret e.i.'era changes in the tn ii'.nc-iiieut of the school, Prof. J. T. Henry, A. I A. M., of Trinity College, s induced to take the head nutter's position in 1902 just ten yu-d afiei Uie removal of the collie. Under his management the school has Had a phenomenal growth ex celling the expectations of the mst sanguine. Within the last three yeaTn. the dormitories have been furtii.-hed with first class oak furni ture: new desks have be-n put in the i (-citation room?, displacing beuches that were out f date treaty years ugo; new blackboards have been TRINITY HIGH SCHOOL, TRINITY, N. C. put in all recitation rooms; much repairing, in the way of plastering, painting, and otherwise improving the property, has been done; quite a number of young Uees and sbrubery has been set on the campus, and the campus otherwise improved; the library has been greitly increased; the faculty has increased from two teachers to five, and a liorarian. This year the school has received several valuable donations of books Miss LIHIe Jackson, Teacher of Music at Trinity High School from its friends, ta well as a num ber purchased by the school. Just here it might be well to say that the school needs a larger collection of good books, as their library has only about fifteen hundred volume?. Throughout the couutry there are a great number of good books that are packed away doing no one any good. These books, if shipped to Trinity AT OLD TRINITY. High Sdio!, wonlil !- preserved and read by inanv youth who would be I beiief! t"l. The si-hoo' will be glad to reiicive them ami pay the Cost of. transportation. This school, seeing the need of better prepared teacheis iu the pub lie schools of the county, has donated one three-year scholarship to the Prof. J. T. Henry, Principal of Trinity High School. ouiitv teacher! of Randolph coun ty. This scholars 'iip is .giveu to some young woman who lives in the eouuty ant I intends tetohiug in this ;'iinty. This s .hclarship is award ed some one wh bfu comp eted the i:oiiimou suiiooi o nus", and carriei t'te' iejipieut three e .ih ubov-. the course required by the ti at". Thus in a fev vears this ccli-ml will be giving annually one thoroughly pre pared teacher to our county schools. It seems to us that the men who really want to benefit the public schools of the county could find no better way of doing so than donating a scholarship to some deserving young woman who intends teaching in the countv. This will insure good, well equipped teacheis in our common schools. These teachers will be qualified for a higb order of leadership, and will inspire their stu dents to something higher. This school offers full preparation W college; a thorough course in b)jk keeping, music, and art. Theif siatidaid i as high as any school or high character in the Statt'. It certificates are received by any Southern college, as equipment for the freshman class. This school has never tnrned a student away on account f the student's inability to pay the tuition. While Trinity High School lives it will stand for the uplifting of t,-e masse3, especially the boys and girls of Randolph cou ity.
