Students Honored
Jane Ihrie and James C. Haw
kins, Jr., were recently honored by
the Jaycees at a banquet because
of their outstanding scholastic
standing in Wakelon School.
Miss Ihrie and Hawkins were
named the top students in their
class of 51. Hawkins, son of prin
cipal and Mrs. J. C. Hawkins, has
a four-year average of 96.1. Miss
Ihrie has a four-year average of
95.3 and is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. H. Ihrie III.
“Education today is in a crisis,”
said Thomas Grimes, assistant su
perintendent of Wake County
schools, “and deserves your every
support.”
Grimes was the principal speak
er of the evening.
“The changing character of the
world’s work and our changing
communities have involved educa
tors in some mammoth decision
making,” he said.
He noted that in the late 1920’s
there were some 130 school sys
tems in Wake County. By 1940,
there were still 103 separate sys
tems whereas today there are only
30.
“Our educational advances have
succeeded over tremendous odds,”
he told the group.
Grimes pointed out that Wake
County school enrollment has
grown more in the last ten years
than 63 other school systems in
North Carolina.
“We can’t do the job with a
school that is 10 to 15 years behind
the times,” he said.
Grimes was introduced by Bill
Quick, first vice president of the
Jaycees, who-also presented the
awards to the students.
The invocation was given by the
Rev. David Daniel.
Miss Ihrie is planning to attend
either Pfeiffer College or Woman’s
College. Hawkins probably will
enroll at the University of North
Carolina or Randolph Macon Col
lege.
Some 40 persons were present
for the banquet honoring the two
seniors.
