M'MBKK 1:2 FORTY-ONE GRADUATES 1938 MILLS HIGH SCHOOL MAKES RECOORD Dr. Holland Holton Delivers Address ? Rev. I. W. Hughes Preaches Sermon ? Other Speakers, Dr. D. E. Earnhardt, Rev. L. F. Kent, Rev. J. G. Phillips, Rev. J. D. Simons? W. H. Yarborough Prese n t e d Portrait of W. R. Mills To School, Accepted by Prin cipal Strowd Forty-one numbered the gradu ates who received diplomas at Mills High School in t'he formal graduation exercises held in the auditorium of the school on Mon day night, May 9, at 8 o'clock. The audience stood while the seniors in caps and gown preced ed by their mas?ot, little Barbara Ann Matthews, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Matbhews, enter ed and together with the speakers for the occasion took their places on the stage. Invocation was spoken by Rev. L. P. Kent, rector of the St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Louisburg. Im mediately following t-his, Glenn Beasley, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Beasley delivered the saluta tory. The speaker. Dr. Holland Hoi ton. of the Department of Educa tion, Duke University, was intro duced by Prof. W. C. Strowd. a former student of Dr. Holton's. "School is a social enterprise to develop the power and capacities that the individual has that he iuay use them for the common ^ood ' is the sum aud substance of the definition wiMi which Dr. Holton begau his very interesting aud thought-provoking discussion. Dr. Holton said that we as citi zens should endeavor to keep in formed concerning the world about us, that we should keep abreast' of the times, that our ed ucation should not mean to us a thing that stops when we gradu ate from high school or college. So far as our education is concern ed, said he, we should think of it as a continuously growing thing. We should endeavor to always be "being educated." In this connec tion the speaker brought out the fact that people are different and have different weaknesses. His advice was that we should find out our weaknesses and try to eradicate them by using the op portunities before us. We are educating people, said t?he speaker, to become citizens of a republic, a democracy. As citi zens of this democracy, we should make up our minds about two things; first, what do we want our government to do; and. sec ondly, what do we want our gov ernment to do bad^ enough to pay for. With t'his in'mind, he said, we should resolve to seek justice toward taxpayers and a kind of character training for the indi vdual which will lead him to get things for himself within the lim its of the law and thereby bring down Mie large number of prison ers found in our penal institu tions of today. With all these things in mind, said Dr. Holton, we must realize that our democracy is as success ful as the average person resolves to act for the common good. In a very fitting talk County Superintendent W. R. Mills re A viewed briefly a litte of the early history of the Louisburg school, the number of teachers and grad uates, and contrasted the situa tion t'hen with the enlarged insti tution which we have today. Com parekone and two graduates with forty-one. In reference to Dr. Holton's talk in which he discuss ed the taxpayers' investments in different institutions, Supt. Mills closed with this statement, "This class is our offering to the public in return for It's investment." Mr. Mills was scheduled accord ing to the program to present tBe high school diplomas but grac iously transferred this honor to Principal Strowd, who has worked intimately with these boys and girls during the greater part -of their high school career. Probably one of the most out standing features of this year's commencement program was the presentation of an oil portrait of County Supt. W. R. Mills to the Mills School by Mr. W. H Yar borough in behalf of the gradu ating class ,^ho leave this as a parting gift* atoken of the keen appreciation fett toward their be loved "Fesser" and their- school. In presenting the portrait, Mr. Yarborough stated that Mr. Mills for thirty years was the first and only superintendent of the Louis burg school. Ho commended the members of the school board for having chosen a man of such lofty character and * personality, one (Continued on; page eight) I Portrait Presented I? : ? l 1 SI/FT. W. 11.
