tertainment to the faculty and up
per grades of the Weldon High
School the linking exercises of a
most successful year were held on
Friday evening lasi when the mem
bers of the Senior Class received
diplomas and other prizes were
awarded. There were ten mem
bers of this class five boys and five
girls the largest class to graduate
in the history of the school. In
the class "honors were about
easy" as, while Frank Grainger
Pierce won the valedictory, the
highest honor in the school, Mar
garet Hudson gave the salutatory
and Louise Hayward besides ma
king an admirable address of wel

class and Bessie Jones gave the
class poem. Mrs. W M. Cohen
in a pleasing manner awarded the
honor of having her name inscrib
ed on the cup in Miss Hayward,
and Dr. W.'G. Suiter presented
the music prize in Miss Helen
Rowell and rewards for improve
ment to Virginia Pope 8th, Annie
Joyner 9th, Lucile Allen 1 Oth and

also presented to Miss Elsie Mae
Crew a beautiful silver medalion
for being the best all round pupil
in the entire school and her class
(the junior) a beautiful banner for
general improvement, These were
given by the American Legion.
Bernice Dixon won the prize in
the Palmer Method of Writing,
Lillie Boseman for improvement

fountain pen for good spelling. In
the music memory contest given
by Miss Annie Wear Smith, the
following girls were given prizes:
Elliice Bounds, Lucile Allen, An
nie Joyner, Elizabeth Bounds, Eu
genia Hudson and Helen Rowell
Prof. W. B B. Edwards, who
has manifested such interest in the
school, gave a most appropriate
and interesting address to the grad
uating class commending them in
many ways and urging them on to
higher ideals ol work and service
He also stated there were more hon
orary promotions than ever before
in the school, Lillian Piercy Wil
liams 4th grade, making the high
est average and Ola Belle .White
head giving her a close second this
being 98 7-10 and 98 5-10 re
spectively. In reading the pro
motions Prof. Edwards stated that
Colie Bob Clark, son of Mr. Colie
Clark, who has been an invalid
for the whole year and unable to
attend school, had been tutored
by a private teacher who
has given him a clean sheet in ex
amination and mental progress and
is promoted from the 5th to the
6ih grade should he be able to at
tend next session. In presenting
the diplomas Hon. W. E. Daniel
took occasion to thank the large
audience present for the manifest
interest in the school in the passage
of the $75,000 bond issue for the
erection of new and improvement
of old school buildings for both
while and colored and expressed
the hope that the commencement
exercises for 1 923, would be held
in a new and larger auditorium.
This was greeted with applause
which show hows the Weldon per
pie stand on the subject of educa
tion. GOOD IDEA.
A prominent doctor at the Amer
can Medical Association suggests
winter vacations in the schools as
a means of checking the winter
death rate from pneumonia, influ
enza and other respiratory dis
eases. There will be a chorus of
approval from the children who
would welcome a long winter va
cation. But it is worth thinking
about.
SWAT 'EM EARLY.
"The early ffy's the one to swat,
It comes before the weather's hot
And sits around and files its legs,
And lays at least a million eggs,
And every egg will bring a lly
To drive us crazy by and bjt."

Another attractive feature of the
evening's entertainment was ma
king an ink blot on a piece of pa
per, naming the . curious design
made thereby, and writing a few
rhymes on the subject. Earl Mount
castle was the successful writer of
verse and drew the first prize, a
copy of "Just Folks," by Edgar
A. Guest, while the booby, a huge
yellow pencil, attached to a small
writing pad was given to the cue

and juniors ..were entertained at

these entertainments.
POPPY SALE
The local post of the American
Legion was very much gratified at
the result of the poppy sale on May
30th.
The members of Weldon Post
of American Legion Auxiliary sold
the poppies in Weldon, Roanoke
Rapids and Halifax. A nice little
sum was realiznd from the sale and
forms a part of a fund to help dis
abled veterans in passing through
Weldon. This money is kept sep
arate from the general fund of the
Legion and is in charge of Mr.
Elliott B. Clark.
Prohibition, says an exchange,
has taught a lot of us that we can
have a corking good time without
ever pulling a cork.
PROF. W. B.
In closing up his fourth scholastic year as Superintendent of
the Weldon Graded Schools, Prof. W. B. Edwards has more firmly
established himself in the hearts of the Weldon people than ever before.
By his kindly interest in each pupil, large or small, rich or poor, he
has manifested to all, that his desire was that all should have justice;
that while discipline must be maintained, all violations of rules punished
the otf'enders were to be encouraged to better things and admonished
to "go and s.n no more." His interest in individual pupils has been
demonstrated in his willingness to personally help the weak or
backward pupil and in every way save him from the
embarrassment when possible.
in athletics has endeared him to
and through this inierest and his
has made a fine record along this
elevate the school and encourage the pupils to higher ambitions he de
serves the thanks and appreciation of both patrons and pupils.
By his inierest in our civic affairs he has shown that his was not monied
interest alone, but that every elevating and forward movement met wiih
his cordial approval. His impartial oversight of the colored schools
and his efforts to provide them wiih better equipment, has magnified
the spirit of brotherhood and service which eminaies from all t nil y great
and won the regard and esteem of the better class of that part of our con
stituency. We are glad, that while he could till with honor a chair in
some one of our Slate colleges or equally well accept the supervision of
a much larger system of city schools, he has elected to sp;nd, at least,
one more year in Weldon and is rejoicing in the fact that his senior class
next year will outstrip in numbers that of any previous year of the
school's history. For this we extend to him and his most excellent wife
who shares his interest in the school in every way the heartfelt thanks
of the entire community and trust ihat his days may be long with us.

WHERE IT BELONHS.
Doesn't it make you tired to
hear people claiming that low
necked dresses and short skins
and one-piece bathing suits and
oilier women's styles are to blame
for the world going to the bad?
If men would quit looking at
women who dress that way the
women would change the styles
But we don't know whether the
world would be any better or not.
MOST EXCELLENT SELECTION.
Al the meeting of the board of
town commissioners last Monday
night, Mr. John S. Hardison was
unanimously elected night police
man. In our opinion, no better
man could have been selected for
the position. He is an honest
Christian gentleman and will give
entire satisfaction, we have no
doubt.
An exchange suggests thai the
money for ihe bonus could be
raised by a lax on staying away
from church.
