speaking to a joint meeting of
members of the Moore County
Historical Association and the
Sandhills Tennis Association
Tuesday night. Dr. Raymond A.
Stone, president of the Moore
County Community College that

that he wants the college to make
history for this area, not only to
reflect the area’s history.

of a couple dozen persons who
were not deterred, as many others
had been, by Tuesday evening’s
light snowfall and threatening
weather. Mrs. Albert Tufts, sec
ond vice president of the His
torical Association, presided. C.
A. McLaughlin, president of the
Tennis Association, deferred that
group’s formal meeting to a later
date, because of small attendance
and absence of members in charge
of certain projects.
Citing this area’s long-standing
interest in education, as exempli
fied by the Scots settlers and
such outstanding individuals as
Walter Hines Page—whom he
called the “forerunner of the edu
cational renaissance in North
Carolina”—Dr. Stone said that the
college preparatory program of
the new college will be geared to
standards equivalent to any found
anywhere; that the trade and
technical courses will be deter
mined by the needs of the area;
