Easter Service
At Roxboro First
Baptist Church
Beautiful Music At Morninp
Hour and Pageant At
Evening Service.
Tlie services at the Roxboro First
Baptist Church Sunday was in the
nature of an Easter service, with
music being the predominating fea
ture. The choirs for the first time
were wearing robes, both the senior
and junior, and they made a most
impressive figure as they marched
in. We are not sure that the music
was inspired by the fact that they
were beautifully gowned, but we do
know we have never heard them
sing so beautifully and impressive
ly as they did on this occasion. The
ladies' chorus was beautiful but the
anthem, "The Risen Jesus,” was un
usually fine and received numerous
praise.
This choir, consisting of about 25
voices, is directed by Mrs. Victor
Satterfield, with Mrs. W. W. Woods,
organist. When it is remembered
that no one, not even the director
or organist, receives a penny for
their services 4t is remarkable how
well they are serving. While it is
the preacher who is always the
principal drawing card, still, the
choir plays no small part in filling
the auditorium at each service.
Following the musical program
Pastor Brocks used as his subject
"The Reality Os The Unseen,” and
gave what many have pronounced
one of the best of his many good
sermons.
At the evening service an Easter
Pageant "The Story Os A Song,”
was given by the Ca-Vel school, with
Misses Louise Stephens and Mable
Montague directing. The entire cast
showed that it had received much
attention, and each acted the part
assigned almost perfectly. The con
gregation is indebted to Misses
Stephens and Montague for a most
pleasant hour.

Here is a happy ending as re

for a story dealing with church
affairs, adds:
“I want to thank yoh. (the ed
itors and staff of the Courier-

dog. As a result ‘‘Pal’’ is all lo
cated in a kind, new, comfortable
home with Mr. and Mrs. George

all thank you for it,”

Superintendent Griffin Will
Res*in Seventh Term
In July,
Only new man out of thirty-two
members of Person’s District school
boards, is Eddie Perkins; who suc
ceeds ,Guy Ciqyiyu, resigned, for
Olive Hill, according to Person Sup
erintendent R. B. Griffin, who in re
porting on activities at Monday’s
quarterly session of the County
Board of Education said that Clay
ton is resigning because of a change
of residence connected with his new
job as rural mail carrier. All other
district members were re-elected.
In announcing the resignation of
Mr. Clayton. Mr. Griffin paid tri
bute to Mr. Clayton’s long and effi
cient service as a school board
member at Olive Hill, at the same
time Mr. Griffin said the District
Board has re-elected the Superin
tendent for another term of two
years. July I, will be the beginning
of Mr. Griffin’s seventh successive
two year term as superintendent.
Teacher elections are to take
place 5t the end of this month or
around the first of May, according
to Mr. Griffin, the important
change being (by a new State law)
that teachers must notify principals
of acceptance of jobs within ten
days after the teachers themselves
have received notice that they have
been re-elected. Under the old law
teachers who were re-elected could
wait until ten days after the closing
of a school term to notify officials
lof acceptance.
The Person Board, according to
Mr. Griffin, has taken notice of the
fact that teacher turnover (changes)
have been much less this year thar
last and that as a consequence tht
stability of the Person and Roxbort
program has been much improved
Also discussed at the Board meet
ing were budget matters, including
the proposed High School drive site
lor the new grammar school, and
various school repair jobs, one of
the chief to be minor repairs and a
painting job at Roxboro High school,
where it is expected painting will
improve and lighten walls of the
auditorium and the halls.
