Class Plays
The Senior Class of Wakelon
School will present a three-act
comedy, “High School Hero,” Fri
day evening, November 21, at 8
o’clock. Admission will be 25c and
50c. High School Hero is peculiarly
appropriate for a high school class
play because it is about a high
school and the every-day problems
common to high school girls and
boys.
It is about Bill Rockwell, the
high school hero, Class President
and Football Captain, who is wil
ling to sacrifice his own good name
to protect a younger boy, and Lunk
Bennett, the dim-witted fullback
whose dark day was the day the
English language was invented. Al
so featured is Eleanor Spencer, the
new, young, attractive principal,
and Dan Conrad, the “brash young
football coach, and the hot water
he gets into with Miss Spencer.”
In the cast will be Fan Green,
Sue Alford, Ronnie Richards, Mil
dred Fowler, John Phillips, Leroy
Trevathan, Barbara Lou Chamblee.
Gentle Farm Animals May Be
Dangerous, Wakelon Teacher Says
“Speak to all animals when ap
proaching them,” recommends Ed
Ellington, Agricufture teacher at
Wakelon School! All livestock
should be handled kindly but with
alertness because even gentle ani
mals may kick or strike when
startled.
The so-called gentle bull is too
often the one which acts at unex
pected moments, gores someone to
death or inflicts serious injury. One
of the principal rules with bulls is
to handle them as little as possible.
With a well-constructed bull pen
any bull can be cared for safely
and with almost no handling. The

Appearing in the play also will
be the Class mascots, Vicky Wood
and Ben David Thomas.

On Friday, November 21, the
Rolesville Juniors will present
their play, “Everything Happens
To Us,” in the school auditorium
at 8:00.
The play features the Ross fam
ily, who is excited because Rhett,
the oldest son, is going east to mar
ry a millionairess.
Mrs. Ross and her two young
sons, who aren’t much help, try
frantically to redecorate their new
home for Rhett’s bride.
Each character in the play suc
cessfully messes up things for the
family and the tragedy comes when
Rhett calls to say the girl has
changed her mind. In a surprising
manner everything straightens out
for all.
gates and doors, as well as facili
ties for feeding, watering and
breeding can be arranged so there
is no need for the caretaker to ex
pose himself to attack.
Bulls should be rung at an early
age and worn or weakened rings
should be replaced promptly. When
it is necessary to lead a bull, al
ways use a staff.
Bulls are not the only livestock
on the farm to be handled with
care. Horses are not considered
dangerous, yet, according to the
records of the National Safety
Council they account for more ac

Practice for Cage
Season Started
For School Teams
Prospects for a successful bas
ketball season are good, Coach
Herbert Holt said yesterday, and
even though he lost four starters
by graduation last year, he ex
pects this year’s cage squad to
be improved over that which took
the flctor in the fall of 1951.
The 1952-53 season begins on
Tuesday night, December 2, when
the Wakelon boys and girls play a
twin bill against Rolesville.
The girls lost three starting
guards and one starting forward
by graduation, Coach Howard
Thomas said, but his reserves of
last year are improving rapidly to
take their places.
About 40 boys are competing for
starting positions and fifteen girls
are practicing. More members of
the girls’ squad are expected when
the tobacco season is over.
Season tickets for the basketball
season will be on sale within the
next two weeks, and boosters of
the Wakelon teams can purchase
them from any member of the bas
ketball team.
“If anybody wants as many as
a half dozen,” Coach Holt said,
“I’ll deliver them myself.”

Rotary Endorses
Bird Sanctuary
The idea of making Zebulon a
bird sanctuary, proposed by the
Carmen Flowers Garden Club, was
endorsed by the Zebulon Rotarians
at the regular weekly meeting of
the group last Friday night. By
making the town a bird sanctuary,
protection under the law would be
given all but birds classed peda
tory.
Included in the motion, which
was made by Secretary Rodney
McNabb, was a plea that the over
supply of tomcats in Zebulon be
controlled or eliminated.
The program time of the meet
ing was filled with discussion. Dr.
L. M. Massey brought the atten
tion of the club to the number of
children who drop out of school
before graduating. He urged that
the club make an effort to encour
age students to complete their high
school education.
Larry Whitehead of the Abi
lene, Texas, Rotary Club was a
guest for the meeting, which was
held in the Wakelon agriculture
building following the barbecue in
the lunchroom.

Town Attorney A. R. House
turned the deed for the armory
site recently purchased by the
Town of Zebulon to the State of
North Carolina yesterday, accord
ing to Mayor Worth Hinton, who
said that the attorney was to reg
ister the deeds transferring the

Zeb Corbett and complete all oth
er necessary legal work Monday.
Minor changes were made in the
deeds on Friday, the Mayor said,
and all the papers were ready for
Mr. House to take to Raleigh yes

To illustrate the fast way in
which the purchase of the four
acres of land was completed, May
or Hinton said that within one

al were given to him by the Town
Attorney, he had signatures from
every property holder with land
adjoining the site agreeing to
abandon the proposed street which
runs through the armory site.

ary Public Zollie Culpepper, went
to Mr. Corbett’s house, paid
Mr. Corbett for the four acres of

The Mayor emphasized that by
taking additional time and making
special effort the members of the
Board of Commissioners saved the
Town of Zebulon SI,OOO in the pur

tions to the site will be less than
any other site which has been un
der consideration.
