Mr. Mac Mannii, reputed to be ninety years old, advanced upon the stage clad in a tweed suit of ? strange style of cut.

Her eyes are a blue grey calor? blue on the day of her interview because it was raining and she had on a blue dress! Standing 5' 8" tall and tipping the scales at 106 pounds, this gal's "prattling" would give a magpie a rnn for his money. Pertapj that is why she's so much fun to listen to! Carolyn's favorite song li I Can't Help It and the musie of Johnny Matthias -perfectly satisfies her taste in singers. Lobster? no leas? rates as her favorite dish.

Manle Ptner, Jan Jefforis, Re ? n ? - Core Sound Villagers Early Recognized Value of Schools The following article wis c?m piled and read by Mil. Luthei Hamilton, Morehead City, at U? meeting of the County Histories Society held at Davla Saturday April 19. Atlantic Schools On a high bluff overlooking th< cool waters of Core Sound is Mm very modern busy village of At lantic. Until around 188S, when th< yostoffice was established, it wa: known as Hutting Quarters. Hert it is believed that the Indians anc whites lived peaceably together foi hundreds of years. It it quite possible that somt ?f Vie merebt'rs at White's Los' Colony found refuge there and with the help of the friendly na tives made new homes for them ?elves. It has always been ru mo red that certain families of the village are of Indian extraction. Among the many fanciful tales is one told by a dark, high-cheek boned former resident who says his grandfather captured his grand mother, a lovely Indian maid, by throwing his spt'ar into her hip as she sped through the forest. He proves his point by saying his grandmother always limped there after. As with ao many other oft-told stories, this one is told with a twinkle of the eye and tongue in cheek. However, many old shell mounds containing Indian arrow heads and other relics have been found bearing witness that this section at one time was surely Indian Territory. 11 also has been inhabited by white people for a very long period of time. The first land grant in Atlantic or Hunting Quarters was made in 1T40. Chief Occupations The chief occupations oyer all the years has been fishing and hunting, and the descendants of the early settlers still delight in going down to the see in ships. Life on the- sea has always pro duced sturdy, dopendable, coura geous people. The people of At lantic always have been known for these virtues and many others. But where did the real for knowledge and the determination to carry the torch for education come from? As in other sections the little one-room schoolhouse was established, with narrow, backless benches, little heat except for sun shine through doors and windows, the almost always present hickory stick in the corner, and the tin dinner pads, cold biscuits, side meat or fish. :1 ?' (M Weapon That reference to dinner pails and fish reminds me of an Inci dent I have often heard my hus band refer to aa occurring In his first school days there. The two principal characters, whose names I think it better not to mentian, were quarreling in school over some trivial affair when one of them, to clinch the arftimeat on bis part, polled from under the beaKh he urt upon a tin pail af boiled fish and onions and uncere moniously dumped the con teats directly oh the head of his oppo nent. One erf the incidents I personally have enjoyed hearing told more than any other coming out of the early eaptrtatice of one of Ihe schools in that vicinity, if not At lantic, involved the use of big words. It aetata that owe ?< the young swains, who had a rrush on a beau tiful )ni| (kia| who had come down as taaclter, was determined not to be outclassed "in the uae of big woria", aa he put it. ??, it came to pass that at the claae of ooa <4 the art?I entertainments one night, in his beat command of Ihe language and aocial eti quette he aaked if he might be permitted to eeeort ber home. Ha later aaid that her reply was so pompoua and high-aoondlng that be didn't know whether her answer was >?a" or "po", ao. for getting the purpose of his inquiry hart being nam Wing that he be out-cleaned In word a, he replied, "CetKetaa-ti-wople, by Geahr and walked away a tone Near te flat more aertoMs aide again: lai all ft my research I hate been onafeta te M My true history or even aatiafactery tradi tion pi the origin and development of the Atlantic Schools. Twe MMhgs It la known among the oldest settlers that at far back at their memories take them there wat a drtei mtnaUw on the part of the people to provide more and better school facilities far their children. It it a fact that mere than It years s#e in what la now the cwnnranity I I mantle there were two school buildings. one In the enttern and the other in the western end of the vflftfe I bwttdhrgs, ^ee ate told, war? plainly bu>t, lai accordance with RELAX-A-CIZOR Th?

However, hey seem to have served, and lerved well, their intended pur K>se. , I am also told by one of the old- i 'St citizens there (and certainly >ne of the most respected and be loved), Mr. Joseph W. Mason, who lonorably and well represented his county in the Legislature of 1901, that about 60 years ago the wo schools Just mentioned were onsolidated, and a school build ng for their accommodation was constructed that had a seating capacity of about 100. About that time the taxpayers, led by Mr. Joseph F. Morris, pe titioned the governing authorities i it the county for the levying of a ipeciui tax to enable them to ex tend the public school system of 30 days to six months. It was done. That within itself was an out standing event? a Tittle fishing vil lage of 200-300 people, petitioning that what little property they had be taxed to further the cause of education. That might rightly be referred to as the real beginning of their progressive and far-sighted school movement. Anyhow, shortly thereafter, in the year 1904, they built a large and spacious building (they re ferred to it as The Academy), two story, with a large auditorium hav ing a seating capacity of around 400. For construction purposes, trees were cut from the forests of Cedar Island, rafted and taken via Core Sound to a saw mill at Mill Point, now a part of Sea Level (my father was sawyer there at the time), cut into lumber, carried by boat and cart to Atlantic, where, under the direction of one or two skilled carpenters, the men who knew how to saw boards and drive nails, did the building. They built well, for it was in that same school house that the first high school in Carteret Coun ty came into existence. (Yes, it is true that Atlantic had a high school before either Beaufort or Morehead City.) Its first principal was Mr. R. C. Holton of Pamlico County. (My husband says he is still living, and all of his old stu dents hold him in high esteem) . . . But a further word about "The Academy", which seems to have had reference to the building rather than the school. It was built on the edge of an oak grove and on the highest elevation avail able. . n was lop pea ny a flag poie, conspicuous for several miles around; and it ia said that when the flag waa up, and school was out. and a picnic dinner spread in the shade of those liveoak treea, it was truly a festive accasion worth attending. 1 can see the streaming banners now, the parad* of ttir students, the heavily-laden tables, and can hear the eloquence of the young orators, as all of the people join in the caMTatfm of the opening of tint First High School la Car ter* County. And ytm may be sure that the pride that puffed the bosoms of the people w?s a justifiable pride, because in a very real sense they were the pioneers, pushing back the (ranter* and illnfc| the educational horizon for the ??tire caunty. ... la pasting, It might be well to net* that ? eerohd cchoat was organized about thla time. It ?aa privately supported and earned the high sounding name of Seaaida Collegiate Inatitute.
