In a paper prepared by H. H.

Mr. Brimley says that the whale
shark (Rhineodon Typus) discov1

I June was the first of its species
J to be reported so far north on
1 the Atlantic coast.
J A copy of the paper, reprinted

W. B. Keziah, who gave statewide
publicity to the finding of
the water monster.
In it he tells of the history of
the 50-foot whale shark ashore
near the Quarantine Station at
Southport and its offer to the
j museum. It was in such a dej
composed state, however, that it

He writes in part:

school year.
One of the new teachers at
Shallotte will be in the high

for grammar grade work. The
new teacher at Bolivia will be
| a member of the high school
faculty. J. C. Overcash, who
! tamrht last vear at Leland,

the challenger forced

Niernsee has proven to be
a versatile athlete since en- j
tering the Methodist school
last fall. He made the varsity
basketball squad his first
year, and was an important
cog in Coach Yow's machine
which took second place in
the North State conference
race. With the completion of '
the tennis tournament this
fall, he was crowned tennis
champion for the second consecutive
year, and will be the
mainstay on the Panther net
squad again next spring. He
was also a member of the j1
soccer team last year, and

again this fall. |1
