Rev. Roston Talks
To Assembly
On January 17 the Grammar
Grade students were honored to
have Rev. W. D. Roston of the
St. Joseph C. M. E. Church as
their guest speaker.
Rev. Roston told the group the
story of the Prodigal Son. He re
minded the boys and girls that
they should make themselves use
ful in their communities. He
pointed out that it is not a per
son’s color or features, but the
kind of person—good or bad—
which really counts. He urged all
the boys and girls to be useful
citizens.
Rev. Roston’s speech was in
spiring and enjoyable. We hope
that he wiU visit us again soon.
