Thursday, May 12, 1938 THE ROXBORO RAMBLER Page Eleven Our School Days The days our school life begun ’Twas the ninth of February in the year ’31. Eager faces bright and gay, Began their wisdom on that day. First came “Miss Mary” tried and true, Showing us so carefully what to do. We worked very hard on things, that to us were new, And the next year our teacher was Miss Sue. Under Miss Montague’s guiding hand Into the fourth grade we did land. With Miss Vernon’s patient care, We were soon under the leadership of Miss Claire. We worked in the fifth grade one and all In hopes that in Miss Collins’ hand we would fall. But due to the change of a rule The sixth grade went to the high school. Under Miss Odham, Miss Epes and Mrs. Brown, We then became part of “China town.” We worked very hard and thus did pave The way to enter the seventh grade. One grade in our journey we won’t forget, That’s the seventh grade—you can bet. With our studies, our work and fun, With Mis Harkrader, Miss Clarke, and Mrs. Sledge it was well done. So farewell grammar grades arid teachers dear, We say goodbye with a parting tear. We won’t forget you as years roll by, But remember you pleasantly all through high. —Theo Strum, Seventh Grade Seventh Grade Commencement Exercises Friday, May 13, at 8:30 P.M.

Your school term is about to come to a close But that doesn’t mean that you have to part— You can still be together at KING’S PALACE Cold Drinks Ice Cream Sandwiches of All Kinds KING’S PALACE Phone 3351 Junior Club Self-Interest Lincoln and his law-partner, Hern don, jogging along a muddy road in an old buggy through pouring rain, were discussing a point of philoso phy—whether there is such a thing as a disinterested, unselfish act. Lin coln said no; Herndon argued that there are such acts. They passed a pig caught in a crack of an old fence, squealing for dear life. A little farther on, Lincoln, who was driving, stopped the buggy, got out and let the pig loose. When he climbed back in, his feet were muddy, his clothes wet, his hat dripping. “There now,” said Herndon, “in spite of your fine logic you have proved my point. Why get out in the mud and let that silly pig out when he would have wiggled his way out anyway?” “It was a purely selfish act,” said Lincoln. “If I hadn’t I would not have slept a wink tonight; his squeal would have echoed in my dreams. He might have wiggled his way out, but I wouldn’t have known it. I win the case.” —From Readers Digest. CITY ICE CO. ICE & WOOD Dial 4231 09 W. W. Woods, Mgr. Coleman King Jennie Wright The books which help you most are those which make you think the most. Second Week Even a mistake proves that you tried. Third Week Just being happy is a fine thing to do. Looking on the bright side rather than the blue. Sad or sunny musing is largely in the choosing And just being happy is brave work and true. Fourth Week It takes a man with a pretty long neck to get a view of himself from all four sides. Criticism shows us our work as others see it and even the most experienced may profit by it. Fifth Week The man who thinks he can’t do it is always more than half right. Patience There are those who want the oak tree to grow and spread its great fig ure, full grown, right on the dot. They want a new school over night. The ak must grow. Ideas must take root. We must await the growth. We must have patience. Be quick to see what is good and what is promising. Be encouraging. Be fair. Be honest. Be steadfast. And having done all, be patient. —Student Echo, Lumberton, N. C.

A. C. Fair, Prop. Dunbar and Daniel Studio The South’s Leading Photographers 110 Corcoran Street DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA Such A Friend As Radio Electa D. WILLIAMS A mighty force is in the land Which scientists now understand, And give today their thanks supreme For a grand visionary dream, A dream made real, for now they know The miracle of radio, Which keeps us en rapport with life, With all its great achievements rife. Today we do not need to roam: The world comes to us in our home. Though helpless ‘shut-in” we may be, Broadcasting stations make us free To listen through enchanted hours, With wonder at such magic powers! Through the uncounted miles of space Speakers we hear, as face to face, With words of wisdom high and true, Which make us long great things to do. Hear sermons eloquent and rare, Uplifting as the voice of prayer. Loved music comes to make us calm, Sweet singing also with its balm, From the great city by the sea Hear of the new astrology. Humor and wit we hear sometimes, Orchestral songs and ringing chimes. O’er many miles child stories sweet Are making kiddies’ rays complete. Indeed, if we but have a “set,” There’s no end to the joys we get. By “listening in” to halls of state We still can keep right up to date. Though far from towns with every aid To knowledge, we are not afraid, For unseen powers give us today The wisdom of the far away. No isolation do we know With such a friend as radio. It is easier to perceive than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface, and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth where few are willing to search for it.—Goethe.
