We offer the ] same opportunities as are offered by other State High Schools, f Any student who lives in Stokes i county, and can enter the eighth grade, may come without cost of tuition. You will not find your school expenses less at any scool than they will be here. Board and room rent, light, fuel, furnished for SB.OO per j month. It has been circulated through different parts of the county that students could not 3ecure board in the town. This is a mistake. Students can secure board in private families near the school buildin,'r. and there are several families who are anxious to take boarders. These houses are only i a short distance from the school r building. For those who wish to . work for board, there are oppor > tunities open to good, honest, . hard-working boys. This offer is for a limited number only, at the present time. We have a large and commo i dious building. conveniently | arranged in every way. There jis no ether school building in r Stokes county that is as large [ and so well equipped as the ,; school building here. All the ! i people are proud of their school ! building, and realize what a i J great benefit the school is to the community. The good j ladies of the town through the , association for the betterment of public schools, have present ed to the school 'a nice piano, and also have purchased some : new desks for the school. We : wish to extend to them our ': many thanks for these valuable 1 ! gifts to the school.
