Pinehurst Schools Close Successful Year With Graduation Exercises THE PILOT, a Paper With Character, Aberdeen, North Carol^ * Dr. MacMillan and Dr. Frazer Heard by Fourteen Seniors.— Many Prizes Awarded The Pinehurst Public Schools closed last week with a program of interest ing Commencement exercises. The Pinehurst schools have an exception ally strong faculty. Under the able leadership and direction of their popular superintendent, W. P. Mor ton, the schools have been making pronounced progress for the past sev eral years and this has perhaps been the best year in the history of the schools. The Junior-Senior banquet was held at the Pinehurst Country Club on the evening of April 23rd, with about forty in attendance. The Rev. W. M. MacLeod was toastmaster. The spa cious gril^ room was decorated with the class colors and a delightful pro gram was given between the courses. The operetta, “Under the Sugar Plum Tree,” presented by the pupils of the elementary school on Tuesday evening, April 28th, was most inter esting. The annual debate between the Wal ter Hines Page Literary Society and the Henry Grady Literary Society took place in the high-school audi torium on Wednesday morning, April 29th- Josephine Medford, Irene Lewis and Catherine Morton represented the Page society. MacLeod Freeman, James Cole and Frank Henderson represented the Grady society. The subject discussed was “Resoi’/ed, That Chain Stores are Detrimental to the Best Interests of the American Public.” The Young ladies upheld the affirmative, and the young men the negative. The young men won the de cision of the judges. MacLeod Free man won the prize for the best speak er of the boys, and Catherine Morton the best speaker of the girls. The prizes were given by Mrs. Gertrude W. Tufts. Two Tie For Honors The Declamation and Reading con tests proved to be of unusual inter est. Donald Quale and MacLeod Free man tied for first honors in the Decla mation contest. After a conference of the judges, first honors went to Mac- L-eod with Donald a close second. In the reading contest first honors went to Catherine Sullivan with Wilmer Maples a close second. The Rev. T. A. Cheatham gave a five-dollar gold piece to each of the winners. Other interesting Commencement events were: The Expression and Music Recital under the direction of Miss Minnie Turnbull; the Baccalaur eate sermon by the Rev. John Arch MacMillan, in the new Community Church; the special numbers by the Pinehurst Glee Club at the evening sei vice of the Pinehurst Community Church, and the seventh grade ex ercises in the school auditorium. Divide 231 by 4 And You Have Average Age of Parties Licensed To Wed Here This Week “In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of I'ove” may be true as far as it goes, but it does not reach far enough. Such a delightful Spring as is this year benig enjoyed in the Sandhills causes the fancy of men not class ed as young to turn in the same direction, as is shown by county records. Two marriage licenses have been issued in the past week and the combined ages of the four parties totals 231 years. Those obtaining license to wed are J. D.

A. D. MacLean announc ed on the floor of the house last week that the legislature was being cor rupted by wine, women and song. Thj following day he apologized by say ing that he was wrong so far as the singing was concerned. The apology has been accepted. As an apologist, Mr. MacLean is in Pm sort of the opinion that he was mistaken in the assertion he made from the floor of the house relative to the personal conduct of som-3 of the members. I was up in Raleigh last , week and I personally interviewed at j least sixty mem’^ers of the house and senate. In every case I asked them the same questions. These questions and their answers were as follows: “Have you, yourself, been drinking a class by himself.
