lUy. outstanding alumni and friends.
Delivering the opening address. W.
R. Collins, principal of Johnston
County Training School. Smithfield.
called upon students for their fin
est cont-ibutlons to society. The
Shaw alumnus listed several talents
with which idividuals may bargain
toward success in life. Pointing to
C, C. Spauding, to George W. Car
ver, Marian Anderson and others,
he said. "These men and women
made specific contributions because
they believed they had contribu-
'iorut to make.”

he concluded.
