Hope To Be Able To Make
This Trip An Annual
Event For High School
Seniors Of County
Despite poor weather conditi
ons, Monday afternon saw the
beginning of what Mr. and Mrs.
Cornelius Thomas, of Clarendon
Plantation, hope will be an annual
event? a yearly pilgrimage of
Brunswick county school teach
ers and senior students to see
their beautiful home and flowers
on the Cape Fear river.
It iiad been planned that each
of the five consolidated schools
should send their teachers and
senior students to Clarendon
Monday afternoon, following an
invitation from Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas. It is understood that
large groups were ready to go
each school until the morning
rains dampened the plans. Claren
don, like Orton, is on the River
Road, a much used but unpaved
throughfare.
Well aware that the road might!
be bad from the rain, the South- j
port students decided against the
trip at the last moment. The ;
same applied to most of the teach- 1

i schools and W. B. Keziah de- j
cutal. however that some of the
ather schools might shov up, de- j
spite the weather and they had
better go. They were glad that
[hey did.
Clarendon with its wonderful
location, beautiful flowers and
shrubbery and fine old seventeen- i
room brick colonial home, is well
arorth a visit from anybody at j
iny time, especially when the

in addition to the camellias, aza
leas and many other beautiful
flowers, a special object of in
terest at this time is a consider
able number of Japanese cherry (
irees, beginning to break in full j
bloom. They present a beautiful
sight.
The Leland, Bolivia and Shal- j
lotte schools, discouraged by the '
weather, failed to show up. The [
VVaccamaw schoo'., which had j
chartered a big bus to carry a- j
bout 60 teachers and students, I
found out at the last moment that
the bus was not coming on ac- j
count of the rain. Used to trans-j
