iiV ‘■■i, ■ The NEW BERN ff WEEKLY *• St Per ^ »C VOLUME 5 NEW BERN, N. C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1962 NUMBER 30 IC- k ■ ‘T'^ - ^ -Vij- '■ When the New Bern Scottish Rite Consistory--enibracing 22 Tar Heel counties--hoiiorcclBob Pugh last week, notliing was overlooked. Instead of serving turkey on the final night of the Fall Reunion, the coiiimittee in charge broke a custom of long standing and substituted Bob's favorite meat, roast beef. The committee did somerhiiig else they knew would please Pugh,--a Past Grand Master and lecturer for the New Bern Coti- sistory sitice 1938. Not only were his relatives invited as special guests to the banquet, bttt also the yoitng ladies employed in his County Board of Education of fice, and at the Scottish Rite Temple and Sudan Shr ine Temple offices here. Bob is one boss who is lield in high respect and deep af fection by those who serve under him. None is more faithful tior fonder of this man of ittany talents than Annie Wells Sati- ford, who was the secretary of two other excellent Craven County school superintendents, Sam Brinson and R. S. Proctor, before Bob succeeded Proctor in 1937. Pugh’s feminine office staff has been exceedingly,patient with hiin through the years, while he purshed his hobby of collecting toy elephants. His office became a haven for every sort of ele phant gadget Imaginable from ash trays to salt shakers—lit erally hundreds of these dust chatchers. Everywhere you looked, there was one of these jungle animals staring at you. As a reward for his staff’s patience. Bob has been forgiving. Several of the elephant herds have disappeared, and he is con vinced that the girls in his office disposed of them as some thing of a nuisance and a hin drance to tidiness. Instead of scolding the staff, he chided the girls gently, and with typical diplomacy confessed that he is sort of fed up with elephants too. Our congratulations to tlie powers rliat be at New Bern High school for their wisdom in makmg the High School Stadium available for last Friday's championship football game be tween the Morehead City Eagles and the Elizabetlitowii Yellow Jackets. It gave these scrappy 2-A ball clubs an opportunity to compete on the finest scho lastic gridiron in the State. Nowhere else, it is agreetl by outsiders who have made tlie rounds, will you find liglitiiig comparable witli ours, or a bet ter turf. Players atid fans from the two towns were grateful for the hospitality accorded them, and despite tlie tense emotions that a game of sttcit significance embodies, we've never seen bet ter behavior from all concerti- ed. Rest assured that a great deal of good will was created for New Bern on tliat crisp Novem ber evetiing. We hope other teatits, competing for sectional hotiors in the years to come, will visit our town and make use of our facilities. What liap- pened last Friday night is a (Continued on page 8) AS A BIRD SEES IT—If you had the wings of an eagle and the keen eyes of a hawk, this is how Tryon Pal ace and its beautifully kept grounds would look to you from the air. Easily identified in this unusual photo graph are the main building, its wings, the Maude Moore Latham Memorial Garden, and the vegetable gardens. Tryon Palace Drive is to your right. f r WAIT FOR ME—That’s what Eddie Morton of the More- head City Eagles appears to be thinking as he seeks to detain Bruce McCulloch of the Elizabethtown Yellow Jackets at New Bern High School Stadium last Friday night. The Jackets won 14-7. Leslie Morris, a NBHS student who obviously knows how to handle a camera, snapped the action. Never before had two visiting teams opposed each other in the Stadium. -bt-
