Soul City Jaycees
Host District Meet
The District B Mid-East
Region held its kick-off
meeting at Soultech I, Soul
City on Monday evening,
June 13. The Soul City
Jaycees hosted this meeting.
Other Jaycee Chapters
in the district include,
Warren County, Henderson,
Louisburg and Gillburg
Prison.
The session was called to *
order at 8 p. m. by John
Pegram, the District B
Director from the Henderson
Chapter. Butch Meeks
(Warren Co.) led the pledge
of allegiance and the Rev.
Michael Williams (Soul
City) gave the invocation.
Lewis Myers, president of
the host chapter welcomed
the district B Chapters to
Soul City. He expressed a
desire to see the five
chapters work more closely
together in providing programs
for the members and
residents of the district. He
indicated that the Soul City
Jaycees will call on the
other chapters for guidance
and direction. Myers then
introduced the head table.
John Pegram reviewed
the Parade of Chapters Program
in which all chapters
in the state participate. He
noted that "District B has
the potential to be one of the
top districts in the state. B
stands for BEST lets
prove it," he added.
Eddie Ellis, the state vice
president for operations,
and Roger Allen, the
Mid-East Regional Director,
both challenged the
chapters in District B to
work hard to support the
district directors' goals.
They stated that in helping
your district director, you
also help yourself. They
spoke about the importance
of attending the statewide
and regional meetings.
The presidents of the local
chapters reviewed their
chapters' plans for 1977-78.
From the reports presented
by Paul Browning (Henderson),
Ray Shearin (Warren
County) and Myers, it
seems certain that District
B will offer a wide range of
programs this year.
Following closing remarks
by Pegram, the
business meeting ended
with the Jaycee creed led by
Eddie Harrell (Soul City).
The officers, directors, and
members present then divided
into three workshops
—local presidents, internal
operations, and external
programs.

89 Norlina Students Graduate
Eighty-nine members of
the Norlina High School
graduating class received
their diplomas during commencement
exercises at the
Norlina High School Gymtorium
on Friday night.
Principal Clint L. Hege.
was presided over the program,
announced the 58% of
the students, the largest
number in the school's
history, had signified their
intention to continue their
education beyond the high
school level.
C. Ray Pruette, chairman
of the Physical Science
Division of Louisburg College,
was the commencement
speaker. He was
presented by Principal
Hege.
Commencement is a time
for mixed emotions, the
speaker said. It is a time of
gladness that one plateau in
one's education has been
reached but a time of
sadness in the realization
that friends must part. It is
also a time of hope, a time of
determination to strive for a
successful life, he added.
Mr. Pruette stressed the
value of reading good books
for through reading we
acquire knowledge, and
wisdom is the application of
knowledge, he said. This is
truly a changing world, but
virtues of truth, honor,
compassion and faith still
remain.
Children often feel that
growing up is but a time of
being told what they can not
do, in home and in school,
Mr. Pruette said, but there
are four things that one can
do, and if they will do these
things their success in life is
assured.
f
You can not do much
about your face, the speaker
said, but you can do much
about your countenance.
You can made it a pleasant
countenance by good
thoughts and a smile, which
is God's greatest boon to
mankind.
You can't control the
morals of the world around
you but you can control your
own morals.
You can't control the
height of your head from the
ground but you can work to
control the contents of your
head.
The fourth and most
important thing in your life,
the speaker concluded, is to
keep your faith in God, to do
His will. He asked them to
remember man does not
break God's laws but is
broken by God's law. Give
your heart to Jesus Christ
and accept him as your
helper in all your endeavors
and yours will be a good life.
Mr. Pruette illustrated his
points with humorous anecdotes
which brought smiles
from his audience, and was
given a standing ovation at
the end of his address.
The invocation was given
by Cindy King. Miss
Patricia Brantley sang the
"Theme from Mahogany,"
and was roundly applauded.
Lynn Tucker gave the
salutatory address, reviewing
the joys and sorrows of
12 years of high school, the
sadness of parting, and the
challenge offered by the
future.
The valedictory address
was given by Danylu
Palmer, who spoke of
graduation from Norlina
High School as a most
important night and asked
the seniors to always
remember the debt of
gratitude they owed their
parents for their love and
sacrifice. This love and
sacrifice could only be
repaid by each student
doing those things which are
honorable, just and true as
they continue life's journey.
Diplomas were awarded
by Principal Clint L. Hege,
J. E. Peeler, Superintendent
of Schools, and by Ernest
Turner, Chairman of the
Board of education. Mary
Lou Traylor was presented
her diploma by her father,
Leigh Traylor, who is also a
member of the Board of
Education.
"Go Forth" was sung by
the Blue Wave Chorus under
the direction of Howard Lee
Stultz, and was roundly
applauded, as were the
addresses of the Salutatorian
and the Valedictorian.
The benediction was given
by Thomas Bullock.
The Processional and the
Recessional were performed
by the Brass Choir of the
Blue Wave Chorus, composed
of Chuck Ellington,
pianist; Lynn Tucker and
Glenda Stultz, organists;
Thomas Bullock, Derrick
Cheston, Carol Montague,
John Foster, David Rowlett,
