Tuesday, May 30 was graduation
night for 16 Vass-Lakeview
seniors, but for their Alma M^ter
it was an occasion of even more
significance: a sort of live-at-
home night, when the school
could look with pride upon what
it had produced.
First to take their places across
the center of the stage were four
alumni who were to have leading
parts in the program: The Rev.
Arthur L. Thompson, Methodist
minister of Raleigh; his youngest
brother. Clary Thompson, special
assistant to Under Secretary of
the Army Alexander in Washing
ton, D. C.; H. Clifton Blue, Aber
deen newspaper publisher and
State representative; and C. L.
Tyson of Vass, chairman of the
school board; also Principal John
McCrummen and County Supt. H.
Lee Thomas. In the large audi
ence was E. B'. Thompson, 80-year
old father of the Thompson broth
ers.
The equal number of girls and
boys in the graduating class, the
girls in White academic robes and
caps, and wearing corsages of red
roses, the boys in black, and lined
up alternately, marched to the
platform and with their piascots,
Sandra Loftin and Joseph Priest,
similarly gowned, were seated at
the sides.
The Rev. Mr. Thompson gave
the invocation, which was fol
lowed by the salutatory address
by Mary Ruth Clark. After three
w'elUrendrered numbers by the
Glee club, directed by Mrs. Edna
Howard, Mr. Blue introduced the
speaker, presenting himi as a grad
uate of Campbell college and the
University of North Carolina’s
school of journalism, a former top
ranking reporter on a Winston-
Salem daily, author of two books,
a lieutenant commander in the
navy during the late war and
special assistant to Secretaries of
the Army Gray and Royall before
assuming his present duties.
Mr. Thompson used part of his
time in reminiscing, recalling his
stump-digging experiences at
Vass-Lakeview High and naming
fellow students who shared with
him this formi of punishment
meted out by Mr. McCrummen.
In serious vein he 'discussed
world conditions, the fight be
tween Democracy and Commun
ism, the importance of, prepared
ness and the value of each indivi
dual in the effort to bring about
world peace.
C. L. Tyson then spoke briefly
and awarded diplomas to the fol
lowing graduates: Edith Bailey,
Rosa Lee Chavis, Mary Ruth
Clark, Annie Pearle P. Mar
ilyn Ransdell, Edith Ring, Mar-
intha Smith, Marilyn Wood, David
Blevins, Bradley Blue, Charles
Caviness, Marvin Holder, J. D.
Johnson, Lonnie Priest, Robert
Page^ and Richard Womack.

pleasure in the performance. In

FBI Man Describes
Work of Bureau
At Kiwanis Lunch
When a speaker fails to show up
for an engagement he fs generally
the object of plenty of criticism,
but if it happens to be an FBI
man, too busy about his job to
take time off, that’s a different
matter. g
That was the case at last Wed
nesday’s Kiwanis meeting when
Charles W. Brown, special agent
in charge of the Charlotte office of
the Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion, billed as speaker of the day,
was obliged to send a substitute
when he was called away on de
partment affairs.
Pinchhitter Cole, who took his
place, also from the Charlotte of
fice, to judge by his enthusiastic
listeners* filled the biU with cap
ability.
Speaking on the work of the
FBI in the detection and preven
tion of crime, the speaker empha
sized the great importance of the
latter phase of the work.
“It doesn’t win the headlines,”
he said. “It is not so dramatic to
hear about, but it is probably just
as important as the actual running
down of criminals, in ridding our
country of crime.”
Mr. Cole described how the FBI
cooperates in all matters having to
do ^with the attacks on juvenile
delinquency problems and the
conditions in society which breed
crime.
Interesting to his hearers was
his description of the records of
the department, including the
enormous file of finger prints. He
said thaf there were more than
100 milHon prints on file, stacks
which, if piled on top of each oth
er, would equal the height of the
Empire State building.
“These are not used only for the
apprehension of criminals,” he
said, and described how often fin
ger prints were used to locate
Page Seven
missing persons, victims of am
nesia or other mentm ills.
Cole closed with the remark
that there are three rules the FBI
tried to follow: (1) stay out of pol
itics; (2) stick to law enforcement;
(3) keep the idea of prevention
ever to the fore. Crime preven
tion, he said, through education
and the upbuilding of character,
can eventually bring the end of
crime.
At the meeting, presided over
by Garland McPhersfln, president,
the club went on record as favor
ing a gift to the Moore County
hospital building fund of the sum
of $500.

S URE, we know—a car is a ’*ne-
cesslty” these days. A modern
family '.’couldn’t get along without
one.” Or so you tell yourself.
Come, come, sir! We know, and
so do you, the real reason you got
the new-car fever—and the kind of
car you are hankering for.
You want a car with some fun in
it, don’t you?
A car you’ll get a big bang out of
every time you see it parked in
front of your house—every time
you slip into its front seat—every
sweet and easy mile you travel
in it.
Well, come see what this beauty
does for you.
How the doors swing
open in warm welcome
at a thumb touch on a
button. How the broad
seats invite you to take
it easy. How the big
straight-eight under the
bonnet snaps into purring life at
your toe-touch.
And then note—
How smoothly you slip away from
the curb—especially when Dyna-
flow* is handling the power trans
mission.
How firm and steady the whole car
feels. How it holds on curves, free
of "heel-over” and sway. How
each coil-sprung wheel’quicksteps
over bumps and rough spots that
mean jounce and jiggle on most
cars—how buoyantly road-free a
Buick is.
R
^un? You bet it’s fun—too much
fun to miss.
And there’s no reason to miss it,
really, for this strapping traveler
is priced under many sixes. Starts
at figures just an easy step above
the so-called Lowest Price cars.
What’s keeping you from trying
one, when the nearest Buick dealer
is ready to demonstrate without
obligation any time you want to
call on him.

tional at extra cost on SUPER and SPECIAL models.
