County’s HS Seniors Hear Talk On
Morehead Scholarships Here Monday
Going to college is “an easyiselve^, thereby making it pos-
thing—about the easiest thing I sible for them to do something
can think of,” seniors in Moore for^ others later.”
County high schools were told' '
here Monday by Roy Armstrong,
director of admissions at the
University North Carolina.
Unfortunately,” he said, “Too , - - , - , , , ....
many of our youth do not take! have demonstrate ability
advantage of the opportunities become a leader.
The scholarships are not
awarded on the basis of need;
rather, they are made available
to boys who are well-rounded in
all phases of school life and who
“to
they have. If there is one thing
I would emphasize to any boy, or
girl, who is graduating this year,
it would be to wake up, look at
the opportunities around you
and seize them.”
Armstrong was in Southern
Pines primarily to explain the ^
procedures used in selecting boys
to attend the University on
Morehead scholarships, one of
the most sought after scholar
ships in the state today.
Made available through grants
of some $3 million by John Mot
ley Morehead, the scholarships
are awarded annually to a num
ber of carefully selected boys in
the state who will attend the
University of North Carolina.
“These scholarships are one of
the greatest things that ever hap
pened to North Carolina,” Arm
strong pointed out.
“Their single purpose, under
strict provisions laid down by
Mr. Morehead, is to try and help
boys do something for them-
WITHTHE
Armed Forces
Army Sgt. Herbert R. Smith.
son of Mr. and Mrs. Baxter F.
Smith, Route 1, West End, re
cently participated in a five-day
field training exercise with the
11th Arborne Divison’s 188th In
fantry Regiment in Germany.
Sergeant Smith, a squad leader
in the regiment’s Headquarters
Company, entered the Army in
July, 1953, and completed basic
training at Fort Campbell, Ky.
The 22-year-old soldier attend
ed West End High School.
Pvt Wamie H. Worthy, son of
Mrs. Mattie B. Worthy, Route 2,
Vass, recently was graduated
from the Third Army Food Ser
vice School’s eight-week cook
ing course at Fort Benning, Ga.
The course, one of three taught
at the school, covered the prepa
ration of food in Army mess
halls and in the field.
Worthy entered the Army last
May and completed basic train-
ing at Fort Knox, Ky.
In tracing the steps required
before' the final selection of
Morehead scholars, as they have
come to be known, is made, Arm
strong said that each school in
the county will participate. Each
school may nominate as many
seniors as the prinipal and his
committee feels deserves consid
eration.
From those nominees, the
county committee nominates one
person for each 100 male gradu
ates. Alter that, a district com
mittee makes the final selections.
At present, there are 80 boys at
th University studying under
Morehead grants; University of
ficials and Mr. Morehead have
said that 300 more could easily
be taken care of.
Armstrong admonished the
boys and their teachers to rem
ember that Nprth Carolina today
stood 47th in the states in the
number of boys taking advan
tage of college educations.
“With 59 colleges to choose
from, a state legislature friendly
to education as proven hy its an
nual appropriations of millions
of dollars lor public school edu
cation, and many, many other
things too numerous to niention,
it is a real shame that this state
ranks at the tbottom,’ he said.
Armstrong said that last year
one out of every six freshmen at
the University were there on
scholarships. The value of the
least of them, he pointed out,
was $150 each school year for
tuition. _
“And,” he said, “of the 187
given, 133 of those boys had been
considered for Morehead schol
arships, worth $5,000 oyer__the
four-year scholastic period.
Armstrong was introduced by
State Senator Wilbur Currie.
He was brought here by Henry
L. Graves, who is chaiman of
the Morehead scholarship com
mittee for Moore County.
