BLUE.
Uy Sara Van Alystyne Allen
(To William Beebe)
Tjie Blue of Crater Lake
]s the blue of enamel paint
into the hollow made by fire
and steam.
The lake water holds the cold blue
Os ►hadows in the snow,
A nard, bright cry of blue
That dims the sky and makes of the
hay of Naples
A dream of blue....an azure memory.
The rose window at Charters
L a great jewel carved from the blue
That lives in the heart of the flame..
A blue luminous and limpid,
Dazzling: and clear, yet deep and purr,
Like melted sapphires made trans
lucent
In the. alchemy of Time!
But you speak of another blue,
jsfot of the earth, not of the dreams
of men.
The strong and lustrous blue
I 05 ,t in the heart of the sea.
Not the swift, dancing blue of upper
waves,
Nor the blue-green of water-valleys.
Nor the turquoise of sunlit, tropic
shoals,
Hut a blue older than these,
Radiant and liquid and serene
Blended of lapis and azure and fire.
Lit bv no sun, made paler by no moon
A blue that fills all space,
Bj>eaks to the inner eye.
And wakes forever the vistas under
sea
A magic well from which flows
All blue.

Seniors to Present
Annual Play in
New High School
“Hold Everything” is the title of
the play to be presented by the Sen
ior Class in the auditorium of the
new high school on next Friday night,
June 5.
Suspense—action—story—interesting
characters—side-splitting comedy sit
uations and dialogue—romance—and
everything that goes to make up good
entertainment, are included in this
play. An interesting set of charac
ters, crooks, bankers, run-away sweet
hearts, aspiring movie actors and
whatnot, meet in a ,qu;iet tourist
home, and suddenly find themselves
vitally concerned in each other’s lives.
How these characters become in
volved and how they extricate them
selves from the tangled skein into
which they are woven will furnish
everyone with an evening of good,
clean, wholesome fun and entertain
ment of the highest type.

The managers of each of the three

A. H. Graham, as well as McDonald,
have predicted their man would lead
the first primary, and the McDonald
offer will come in the nature of a
challenge to them to back up their
; predictions, it is believed,
l It is generally agreed that a second
' primary is a distasteful thing and a
j hardship on candidates and voters,
and an expense to the tax-payers, and
partly for this reason the McDonald
i offer will be made to the other can
! didates, according to Raleigh talk.

Zeb Vance School Holds
Its Closing Exercises
The Senior class of the Zeb Vance
school, composed of eight boys and>
eight girls received their diplomas on
Monday night at the school audi
torium. This event marked the clos
ing of a very successful school year
in which the average aaily attendance
was the greatest in the history of the
i school.
The commencement opened with
the music recital given by the pupils
of Mius Kimball, of Henderson
on Thursday evening. The piano num
bers interspersed with selections by
the glee club delighted the large au
dience which attended.
On Friday night the class day ex
ercises were held. The members of
the Junior class led the processional
forming an aisle through which the
Seniors, led by their miascot, Clarice
Coghill, marched to the stage. They
portrayed in a very beautiful and im
pressive pageant the present senior |
class, and as they hoped to be ten j
years from now. The historian was j
Sidney Hines; the statistician, Elsie I
Clayton; the Testator, Reynold Parks;
the poetess, Helen Grissom; the gift
crian, Ikey Repn; the prophetess,
Betty Young.
On Sunday, the baccalaureate ser
mon was preached by the Rev. Albert
S. Hale, pastor of the First Baptist
church, in Henderson, who presented
in a most beautiful and emphatic'
manner a message based on the sub
ject, “You Can’t Keep a Good Man
Down.” Mr. Hale drew his illustra
tions from Biblical characters such as
Joseph and Job, and he urged the
members of the Senior class to over
ride obstacles, and rise above the
general level of achievement. He said
that unless brains are developed in
good men to outwit the active and
keen brains of the underworld we are
a lost generation.
The graduating address was pre
sented on Monday evening in the pre
sence of a large audience by Dr. W.
C. Wicker of Elon College, seated on
the stage with Dr. Wicker were R.
C. Young, principal of the schol, W.
A. Kittrell and Leon Frazier, mem
bers of the local school board. The
seniors dessed in caps and gowns
were led in by their class mascot. The
Saluatory was given by Betty Young.
Dr. Wicker urged the members of the
class to get and keep in the right re
lationship with the world. “It is im
possible,” he stated, “to make a suc
cess unless you realize the importance
of this step.” He then tried to point
out the different elements which help
to put an individual in tune with
hiss urroundings such as work, la
bor, play, pleasure, gratitude and ap
preciation.
The principal, R. C. Young, in pre
senting the diplomas to the graduates
made some very appropriate remarks,
reminding the seniors as they go out
from high school that their character,
their success, and their lives are up
to each individual and that he will
have to determine the way his ship
will sail. Diplomas were given to the
following: Ladie Barnes, Elsie Clay
ton, Helen Grissom, Christine Ed
wards, Marie lYturphy, Daisy Lee Mil
ton, Helen Simms, Betty Young, John.
Fuller Coghill, Sidney Hines, Carson
Ellis, Edwin Pace, Reynold Parks,
Horace Perkinson, Ikey Renn and
Roscoe Edwards.
The certificates of promotion from
the seventh grade to high school were
then given to thirty five members of
the seventh grade. The valedictory ad

TWO CANDIDATES TO
STATE OFFICE HERE
Mike Dunnagan and Thad Eure Pay
Henderson Visit Late Friday
and Early Saturday
Two candidates for the same high
State office paid Henderson a visit,
one Friday afternoon and the other
Saturday morning.
On Friday came Thad Eure, long
reading clerk in the General Assem
bly, and Saturday saw a visit by M.
R. Dunnagan, for years a newspaper
correspondent in the State capital,
but who gave up that work at the
first of the year to become a candi
date for office.
Both are seeking the Democratic
nomination (Jar secretary of State
against the incumbent, Stacy W.
Wade. Both met old friends here and
were introduced to many new ones.
Mr. Wade was a visitor here several

“For people who listen to the allur
ing promises of sophistry and become
neglectful,” he said, “there is no as
surance that their rights will not be
tailed, if not wholly lost.
“A free government can be achiev
ed and maintained only by constant
vigilance. It is a time when only true
Americans should be placed on guard.
“It is almost axiomatic to say that,
a people who complacently submit to
unreasonable demands of a clamorous
minority will certainly become tne
prey of ad ictator. It is likewise axio
matic that there can be no perman
ence for a nation whose people have
only a selfish interest in its welfare,
and again that people who fail to
govern themselves are destined one
day to become a subject people.”
Battle Over Relief

Michigan, led two bitterly opposed
factions into battle for a test on the
Passamaquoddy tidal power project
and the Florida ship canal.
Robinson was determined to put
through his amendment giving Pres
ident Roosevelt power to revive the
giant projects and allot more money
to them, provided boards of engineers

approved such action.
Vandenberg was just as set on
blocking the amendment. So hot was
the controversy that many believed
the debate might not be concluded
today, which would be a new blow
to leaders’ tentative plans to adjourn
Congress by next Saturday. Some
leaders said these plans would have
to be abandoned, and some said the
adjournment deadline would be met’
