PAGE FOUR WAKELON NEWS NEIL HARTLEY, Faculty Advisor PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY Last week we had a swell pro gram in society. On the program were various boys telling of the outcomes of a few of the recent football games played in the state. Since boys are interested in foot ball the program was enjoyed. Af ter this we had a few short speeches and jokes; then, we ad journed to gather the firewood for the bonfire, Thursday night of last week. Wallace Underhill. BTH GRADE ENGLISH CLASS In Mr. Hartley’s Bth grade Eng lish class we are studying folk plays of the Carolina Playmakers. We have read two tragedies and one comedy. The names of these plays are “Job’s Kinfolks”, “The Scuffletown Outlaws” and “Funer al Flowers for the Bride.” We have enjoyed these plays very much. The Carolina playmakers were in Raleigh Monday night and all that could went to see their plays. They were enjoyed very much. Doris Kimball. MEETING OF PHILOMATHIAN SOCIETY The Philomathian Society met Thursday, November tenth in the Study Hall of Wakelon High School, with the president, Ann Bissett, presiding. Following the roll call and the reading of minutes of last meet ing by the secretary, a very inter esting program was given pertain ing to Armistice Day. The first part on the program was the read ing of the Bible by Thelma Bran non. The society next joined in singing Faith of Our Fathers, led by Miss Barret. A poem was read by Mary S. Mitchel. Introduction of the speaker was made by Miss Cox. Mr. Griffin, the speaker, made a very interesting talk pertaining to Armistice Day, the birthday of a treaty which was signed in France plained the fact that Armistice to end the World War. He ex means that arms shall come to a standstill. Some of the most im portant things mentioned in his speech were as follows: We have come to think of it as a Peace Day. Today all fear that there will be another war. How can women prevent this. One alone can do little, but if all work together, they can help make peace. One may help by sending suitcases to people of Avar-stricken nations. Also one can write to foreigners if he knows a foreign language. It is never too early to begin making friends with all, not only foreign countries, but of your own town, city, state, or nation. The appreciation of Mr. Griffin’s talk was expressed by the Presi dent. After this the society ad journed. Cleo Glover. HOMECOMING GAME Friday is the big day for every one in our community, being home coming day. I am sure everyone will enjoy the game very much. Wakelon plays Fuquay Springs. The game begins at two-thirty p.m. Elizabeth Pate. IMPROVEMENTS OF W AKELON The Wakelon school got a very good start this year. The students are working in a more organized manner than ever before. The Student Council under the direction of Miss Glazner and Mr. Maclntire has made quite an ad- vancement as far as pupil respon sibility is ’ concerned. We are try ing to keep our school clean and orderly. There to be no cutting classes, no disrespect to our teach ers and students and no failure if possible. I am sure that we shall keep this system going and make it mean something to us. The attendance record has been exceedingly good and we want it to stay that way. To the parents that read the Zehulon Record we ask that you cooperate in helping us to have better attendance this year than ever before. Jack Gregory. LATIN The Latin controversy which was carried on in the News and Ob server about a year ago was re vived last Monday by an editorial in the same paper. Since it seems quite the fashion to express one’s opinion on the value of Latin, here is the contribution of a second year high school Latin student. Latin helps in memory, accu racy, application ,and reasoning. It helps in other school subjects. Upon entering the history class the first word of the lesson is Bacchus, directly from Latin, and in Biology the lesson is concerned with such words as ocelli, the eye of the grasshopper, which in Latin is oculus, cicada, and anus. If it were not for Latin, the Biology or history lessons would be more dif ficult to understand. Rebecca Horton. ENGLISH SOCIETIES Societies hold a most important place in high schools, and in the lives of students today. It is in these societies that young people receive foundation for the social lives £hey must live in communi ties. There they are allowed to hold offices, which teach them to rely upon themselves. The experience which appearing on programs affords them is also beneficial. It gives the student self-confidence with which to meet the problems he will have to face later on. Although students do not realize it at the time, it is inevitable that at some time long after their re spective iciety may have been forgotten, there will arise an occa sion in which an entire situation may be saved by something that the individual learned in the sim ple society meeting during his school days. Virginia Bridgers. NEW OFFICERS ELECTED At the last meeting of the Busi ness Club several new officers were selected since Warren Pace’s leav ing made a vacancy. Margaret Watson assigned the different parts to be written in the next is sue of Wakelon scripts. Miss Toler gave some ideas on the improve ment of the paper. Mr. Austin also gave a short talk on improving the paper. Billy Green. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club held a very interesting program Thurs day, November 3, 1938. The club met in the Home Economics room, where a program was rendered by Helen Averett, Zelma Gray Powell, Mary Elizabeth Eddins, Rebekah Watkins, Agnes Brannon, Lucile Mitchell and Jodie M. Weathers, Marie Pearce. The club will meet again No vember 17. All the Home Economics girls are looking forward to working in the new building which has been THE ZEBULON RECORD started. We all hope it will soon be completed. Dazelle Duke. HOME ECONOMICS PROJECT Miss Palmer’s second year Home Economics students have recently purchased new curtains and flower vases for the serving room of the Home Economics Department. The curtains of unbleached muslin trimmed with green ball fringe, and the vases with Wandering Jew and Ivy add a great deal to the appearance of the room. Thurs day morning the girls invited Mr. Moser to come and see what they had been doing for the past sev eral days. He seemed to be impress ed and said he hoped we would be able to use them in our new Home Economics Department now under construction. Rebekah Watkins. G. M. BELL SOCIETY PROGRAM The G. M. Bell Society met last Thursday Nov. 10 in the audito rium. The secretary called the roll and read the minutes of the last meeting, which was held October 27. Alma Doris Jones told of her trip to Chapel Hill last Saturday and Clara Croom recited a poem, Thanksgiving. Four girls gave a little play which was interesting but not long. After the program we sang a few of our school songs. Frances Mae Medlin. BASKETBALL Wakelon’s Basketball team will start practice December 1. Wake lon has three games before Christ mas. Most of the boys who played last year will be back again this year. The boys’ who played regu larly last year and are back this year are: Cecil Alford, John Clark, Jr., Alvin Ray, Forest Mitchell, Lewis Watson, Tom Ivey, Stanley Pierce, Robert Lee Kimball and then we have two boys who were not here last year. They are Jack Joyner, who played with Fort Bragg last year and Harden Hin ton who played with Corinth-Hold er last year. The boys have an other year of practice, and I think that they will have a successful year. We hope to show our new coach that Wakelon is on the map. Mr. Austin has played college basketball for four years and he knows his stuff. Robert Lee Kimball. WAKELON WHIPS WENDELL Wakelon Bulldogs defeated the Wendell team 6-0 on the local grid iron last Friday. The only score came midway of the first period when Lynwood Jones was tackled fiercely by Vas ser Eddins and Robert Lee Kimball and the ball was fumbled. Thur man Pate grabbed the ball out of the air and ran 60 yards for a touchdown. For Wakelon the work of Forest Mitchell was a highlight in the backfield. Kimball’s playing was also outstanding. Willard Morris played a bang-up defensive game and got off two beautiful punts that helped set the Wendell boys back. The entire line of Pate, Pearce, Corbett, H. Mitchell, Car ter, Alford, and Eddins must be given lots of credit for stopping the hard running Wendell attack. For the visitors the work of Abraham Joseph stood out. Several hundred people witnessed the game. That familiar and homely land mark of the railroad industry, the roundhouse, is to be simulated in , the Railroad Transportation Build ing at the New York World’s Fair 1939. It will have nine entrances. Business Cards BRANTLEY MOTOR CO. Zebu lon, N. C. Phone 3381 Wrecker Service J. M. CHEVROLET CO. CHEVROLETS OLDSMOBILES New and Used Cars Factory Trained Mechanios J. A.
