Subscription: 1 year, $1.00; 6 months, 60c; 3 months, 30c WAKELON’S NEW HEAD AND WAKELON Now that the selection of a Superintendent of Wakelon High School has been made, it is time for patrons and others to decide on what they propose to do to make this, under un usually hard difficulties, the best year in the history of the school. To know something of the life and work of the new head of the school, we have gone to some trouble to learn the chief matters of interest connected with his public life, especially as they may relate to our school. Mr. B. K, Miller, who now becomes leader in educational affairs in our community, was born at Fairview, Buncombe County, North Carolina. He graduated from Wake Forest College in the class of 1923. Later he took post-graduate work at Wake Forest and the University at Chapel Hill. He taught in Dare and Johnston counties and later became head of the High School at Pikeville in Wayne County. Irby D. Gill, and also Mrs. Gill, were co-teachers with Prof. Miller in John ston county, near Benson. They speak graciously of him as a teacher and man. Mr. Miller has been head of the school at Pikeville 12 years. Mrs. Miller is also a teacher of experience. She is from the Newton Grove community in Johnston county. Her maiden name was Miss Kitzie McLamb.* She is a graduate of Elon College. She became Mrs. Miller in 1926. The Millers have one child, Kitzie Ruth, seven years old. Mrs. Miller will have charge of Public School music in Wakelon, succeeding that most excellent teacher and community worker, Mrs. R. D. Massey. We understand she is well qualified through training and ability for the work. Prof. Miller will follow one of the most magnetic and en thusiastic school men in the state. Few men have the gifts of teaching that are found in Mr. Moser. Whatever Wakelon is today or may be in the future, much of it is due to the work of him who is a natural born teacher. From recommen dations and interviews, our school board believes they have secured a worthy and capable successor to the retiring super intendent. He has already been in the community making contacts and a survey of things and arranging for the year’s work. Several vacancies in the school are being filled just as rapidly as possible with due regard to ability and other qualifications. Mr. Miler hopes to be able to announce his full faculty within a short time. He expects to arive sometime before school opens to get everything in readiness for the opening. He himself will make public announcement of final plans for next school year soon. Wakelon’s history and work stand now among the best schools of North Carolina. Its teachers, graduates, and work stand out till the school’s reputation is known far and wide. To an unusual degree do the people put the school before . personal interests. Regardless of local criticism and conflict the patrons almost to a man have stood by the school. When Mr. Miller takes up the work he will find a united community, ready to support him and the school in every way and matter that will make Wakelon a better school, filling its mission ever more successfully. The Wakefield-Zebulon people are to be congratulated on their loyalty to their high school and all its interests. And, we believe, they are to be congratulated on getting a worthy and competent successor to a man who will be hard to follow and excel as a teacher and leader in school and community affairs. And we should all remember that the future of Wake lon’s continued success will, in the future as in the past, mast largely fall on the patrons - the fathers and mothers - of the hundreds of children who shall enter its doors from year to year. Americans Asleep At the Switch (Continued from page 1) With them it is “win or die." They violate classic rules of warfare. The commanders are, apparently, comletely callous when it comes to shedding the blood of their compatriots. These Axis hordes can be compared in many respects to the brutal hordes of Ghengis Khan. To stop them, to defeat them, will require a comparable fanaticism, held in a very differ ent cause, on the part of all the United Nations. From the U. S. point of view, the Jap landings in the Aleutians cannot be passed off casually, as some optimists have tried to do. It is true that a few rock islands, shrouded in fog, off the tip of Alaska, aren’t important in them selves.’ It is also true that Aleu tian and Alaskan outposts could be used for devastating raids on the U. S. proper. General Billy Mitchell once said, in effect, that whoever controls Alaska would win the next war. There is no i reason to suppose that the Japs The Zebulon Record Ellington-Horton o On -Friday afternoon, July 10, !
