THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, FEB. 18,1938.
A TASK WELL DONE
With the exception of this article, all
items on this page were taken from
“The Students’ Guide,” a school paper
published by the Wakefield-Zebulon
colored school, and printed in the REC
ORD shop. This publication reflects
great credit upon those responsible for
it, and it is to be hoped that it may be a
regular feature of school life from this
time.
Copy for the paper was brought into
the shop well in advance of the date of
publication, and was neatly prepared
and carefully arranged. This made the
printer’s task less difficult.
Special commendation is due the
school and faculty because of the prog
ress that has been made during the past
years. The Wakefield-Zebulon school is
a decided asset to this community, and
all who have had any part in its develop
ment may feel that they have not
wrought in vain. What the school and
its teachings may mean does not yet ap
pear in full; but already one may judge
in part; and it is safe to say that pupils
who graduate from the school are much
better fitted for citizenship than they
could have been without its training.
Read this page and join the RECORD
in congratulations and good wishes for
the teachers in our colored school and
for the work they are doing.
TEAMWORK TRIUMPHS
o
In playing basketball it takes five
boys to make a team or six girls to make
a team. If the players are divided in
their efforts they can not make a success.
To play a good game the cooperation of
every member of the team is needed.
Two or three can not win a game. Every
man has an important job to perform.
Some people think the person who
makes the most baskets is the star. That
is never true. Every person’s talent is
not the same. While one person can play
guard he can not play forward well, but
all help to win the game. A player can
not shoot unless he gets the ball and he
can not always get it himself. He needs
the help of his team mates.. There would
be better teams if the members would
quit trying to star and play to win the
game.
SERVING THE NEEDS OF THE BOYS
o
There have been many interesting
developments in the Wakefield-Zebulon
School for the past four years, particu
lar in the matter of bringing cultural
and educative exhibits to the students.
The vocational department is a fair
example of this type of growth. It has
meant a great deal to the people of the
community, but at the same time it is
developing the skill of the boys along
the lines of manual training.
Vocational agriculture is a fitting
subject for rural boys because it enables
them to carry on their form of work in
a broader manner. It is through the aids
of this department that the boys are able
to judge grain, also livestock, such as:
chickens, hogs, cows, mules and horses.
The boys are also taught along the
line of constructive work such as build
ing houses and other things that are
useful buildings on the farm. After they
are able to judge grain, livestock and
know how to build various things for
the farm and home use they also know
how to rotate crops, select soil and plan
its management. It is expected that
boys who take vocational work will be
in a better condition to carry on farming
on a higher economic level than ever be
fore.
VOCATIONAL BOYS SPONSOR
FATHER AND SON BANQUET
The Vocational boys of Wakefield-Zebu
lon school sponsored a Father and Son
Banquet in the school auditorium Thurs
day night, December 6, 1937, at eight
o’clock.

with lights of various colors. Refresh
ments were served.
There were many guests present.
Some of the speakers of the evening
were Mr. Dean, 0 f A. & T. College, Greens
boro, N. C.; Professor E. H. Moser of the
Wakelon High School, and supervisor of
the Wakefield-Zebulon school, and a num
ber of others were present.
Frank Freeman, a member of the voca
tional department, was given $1.60 as a
prize for keeping the most accurate record
of his project during the year of 1937.
The Vocational boys' instructor is Mr. J.
T. Locke, a graduate of A. & T. College.
The occasion was pronounced a success
by everyone present.
NEGRO HISTORY WEEK
IS CELEBRATED
PARENTS’ DAY INAUGURATED
The students and faculty of the Wake
field-Zebulon school culminated observance
of Negro History Week on Wednesday,
February 9, with a pageant.
The day was set aside as Parents’ Day.
One hundred and three parents registered
during the day. Many came early in the
morning and visited classes.
The program, especially planned for the
day involved students from the whole
school. The elementary school pupils pre
sented two phases of the program—a
health playlet and a patriotic drill, in hon
or of the great American characters born
during the month.
The pageant, in which both elementary
and high school pupils took a part, pre
sented very forcibly the contributions of
the Negro to the culture and civilization of
the country. The portrayal was centered
around a court room scene in which Ethio
pia was the defendant. Ethiopia pleaded
her own case by calling forth as witnesses
and exhibits great Afro-American men and
women.
The whole program was received with
much applause by a very appreciative audi
ence.
Mr. S. B. Simmons, itinerant vocational
agriculture teacher of North Carolina,
gave an inspiring talk.
Miss Stanley, a member of the staff,
gave a brief lecture on health principles.
Mr. Carroll gave an informational talk
about the school attendance, report cards,
ar.d made announcements.
Miss C. R. Miller acted as mistress of
ceremonies. The program was worked out
for the day by a faculty committee, com
posed of Mr. Wilcox, Mrs. Malone, Mrs.
Adams, Miss Stanley, Mrs. Wilcox, Miss
Price, Miss Morgan and Miss Shuford. The
other members of the faculty, Mr. Jones,
Mr. Locke and Miss Smith, bad very defi
nite duties to perform. Mrs. Carroll di
rected the music. Visiting parents were
served a light repast at noon.
SCHOOL SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
The people of Wakefield and Zebulon
should visit the Wakefield-Zebulon school
and learn of its great improvement. Not
only the people of Zebulon and Wakefield,
but the adjoining communities.
Great work has been accomplished un
der the leadership of Mr. R. A. Carroll,
principal. When one stops and thinks of
the many things that have been added to
our school within the last few years, not
only should we be proud of these things,
but of him and his co-workers.
There is litle comparison between what
the school was a few years ago and is now.
Note the lavatories, agriculture building,
the science room and its equipment, the
well equipped home economics room and
library.
You will find it very interesting to visit
your school.

In English we are taught how to talk,
when to talk, what to talk about, and how
to use English correctly.
Quietness in the seventh grade is not
100 per cent. While some of the children
are quiet, others like to talk and run up
and down the hall. They need the teacher
over them every minute to get them to act
as they should.
The effort of some of the pupils in the
seventh grade is very poor. If some of the
pupils try once and fail, they should try
again and again, to be sure. There are oth
ers who do not care how poorly they do.

FEW husbands can understand
why a wife should turn from a
pleasant companion into a shrew

You can say “I’m sorry" and

marriage than after. Be wise. If you
want to hold your husband, you
won't be a three-quarter wife.
