Boys and Girls Leave
Murphy For College
The college boys and girls are gol:ing
away to school these days or
tro . . i-i^r plans to leave within the
.< week o two. Howar<i .Moody,
ank Wnlsh. Robert Wells, and Herri
McCall have gone to the University:
ei ry Hell t?? the Greensboro
ollege for Women; Lucius Cope to
A'ake Forest College; Kathryn
fhompsoii will lenvt this week-end
??i Virginia Intermont College; Aline
Richardson will leave early next
.veel; I". The University of Tennes ec;
Harvey Akin is at Annapolis,
H. A. Mattox has gone to Georgia
'Tech"; Bertha Crain is at Bereu;
:nd Rlizabeth Ford at Cullowhec.
Thus, eleven boys mid girls are
?oing out of this community this year
to various college and universities
Pour or five years ago there was1
scarcely one. There are a number of
older college men and women among
the professions and business firms
but most of them have come into
Murphy at one time or another. The
general movement for higher education
apparently has just begun to
make itself felt in this section. This
movement has doubtless been hastened
by the general development of the
community as a result of the opening
of tuc roads; and by the ever
increasing effectiveness of the public
and high schools of the section. It
is expected that the time will soon be
here when every graduate of the high
school will enter some institution cf ,
high learning.
