Stanley Smith, son of Mrs. G.

the ninth grade at the Shallotte
high school last year with
the unusual record of never hav.

school in his life.
The boy holds seven perfect
attendance certificates from Shallotte,
having been a student there
I since he was in the third grade.
Two other certificates for perfect
attendance were awarded at
Columbus county schools which
he attended during his first two
years.
Being the son of a teacher who
recognizes the value of regular
attendance, Stanley is striving to
make a record for himself by
completing high school without a

the final step in selling
the property described therein

to pay before they lose title to
