Pilot Scholarship Contest The Pilot’s scholarship contest has gotten off to a good start. Though slowed by the rush of activities at the school-year’s end, the contestants are now swinging into line. , SHIRLEY FERGUSON of the West Southern Pines school leads the list to date with 60 points earned towards the goal of 1500. This represents five yearly subscriptions to The Pilot, each counting 10 points, and two 6 month subscriptions, to the following: Joshua Ferguson, Rev. E. A. Jackson, H. A. Wilson, Lois McNair, Corinne Basker- ville, Julia Waddell, Rev. C. F. Martin. LLOYD REAVES of the West End school leads his group with 45 points, representing subscriptions from R. C.

Senior Class Play “The Big Surprise,” senior class play presented at Weaver audito rium Monday night, surprised no one in that it was gay, sparkling, and filled, with youthful charm and talent. That is what the town has come to expect of the Pine Maskers of Southern Pines school. The plot itself was inconsequen- ticil—one of those involved things, with crisis following crisis, tradi tional with high school comedies. It was lifted above the ordinary, however, by the skill of the young protagonists, who gave all the lines their full mead of humor, did excellent jobs of characteriza tion and appeared quite at home on the stage. Most at home, it appeared, was Barbara Peterson as Ginger, blue- jeaned subdeb, and second, Joe Marley as her 16-year-old brother and masculine counterpart. These two threw themselves around the stage set, hung on the phone, sighed, moaned and yearned in ways comically familiar to parents of the teen-age generation. “They’re just acting natural,” somebody said. Yes—but, on the stage, that takes acting! Charles CoveU, as their some what solemn father, showed a ma ture knack for throwing his lines away and exacting the utmost in laughs. Grade Newton in a minor rol^another subdeb, and a chat ty "one—was also a very bright spot. Good performances were turned in by Shirley Stuart as the mother of Barbara and Joe; Suzann Bums, who was charming as their older sister; Charles Merrill, as the husband she unexpectedly brought home; David Page, as the lad who had expected to marry her (and at last glimpse was cast ing his eyes on Ginger instead); Barbara Page as David’s mother; John Cornwell, as Ginger’s best beau; and, last but by no means least, Doris Bowles as the old maid aunt. In this role Doris camouflaged her brimette beauty successfully until the second cur tain, when she had an effective scene of her own, transformed. The set was good-looking and natural, a typical pleasant living- room. Lighting was occasional^ erratic and several of the best scenes—including the transforma tion of Aunt Hetzel—^were played in semi-darkness. This was a minor criticism of an event which gave obvious pleasure throughout, to an almost capacity house. Much credit goes to M. M. Sny der and Miss Pauline Miller as faculty directors, also to the stu dent committees who put in much hard work. VN OLD PICTURES When Old Picture No. 7 was printed on Page 2 this week, it turned out to be a church — something which could not be determined very easily fron^ the cut. This makes the lines beneath the picture somewhat irrelevant. Instead o! asking "Whose house is this?" we're asking old-timers this week to tell us, "What church is this?" Also, that might be the Ladies Aid society meeting out in front, who knows? W. S. Jonker, as well as Charles Macauley (see letter on Page 2) identified Old Pic ture No. 6 as the block of New Hampshire avenue just west of Broad, with a portion of Jefferson Inn visible. The first dance revue of the Pat Starnes Studio, held at Weaver auditorium last Friday night, pleased a near-capacity audience with an entertainment filled with charm and sparkle. The first half, “Color Moods,” opened with ‘“white”— a dainty ballet, “Glowworms,” all span gles and tulle. As the “Dragon fly” a 10-yar-old soloist, Craig "iA^ite, proved herself a truly gifted little ballerina. As the giant “color wheel” spun at the hands of a pair of singing lovelies, Barbara Guin and Su zann Burns, the dances proceeded through orange, red, blue, pink, pastels and green—^tap dances, a soft shoe number, an Irish clog, featuring soloists and graceful groups. In the “red” number, “Havana’s Calling Me,” Mrs Starnes presented a gay rhythmic modern tap, “The Beguine.” Tiny Jane Lee Bello and her big po-wderpuff won applause as soloist in the “pink” number (bal let) and Dave Duyk in the Irish cldg. 'The second part of the program, “Vacation Lands,” in large part featured Mrs. Starnes’ specialty by both talent and training—au thentic dances of other countries. A Temple Nautch dance (India), an Arabian solo by Mrs. Starnes, an Hawaiian number and tango of true Latin rhythm (to Leroy Anderson’s magnificent “Blue Tango”) gave the opportunity not only for beautiful costuming but variety and skill in tempo and choreography. Barbara Peterson in a comic hula and also a Cuban tap showed that this teen-age girl, a member of this year’s graduating class, just about ready to step out of the amateur classification. Dot Choate, who has appeared professionally, and is a singer of considerably more than local re nown, both sang and danced in a sparkling nightclub-type solo act, “Manhattan Serenade.” In this, as in three other numbers, the ultra violet spotlight gave added ef- effectiveness. A highlight of the show was a musical specialty presented dur ing intermission by Mrs. Louise Massei at the piano and Jimmy Lawson at the Hammond organ, when they played a duet almost five minutes long, a medley of favorite old dance numbers, blind folded. Not an error was detected as their fingers flew at mile-a- minute pace, an exhibition of musical virtuosity which brought down the house. For the dance revue, George- anne (Mrs. Stanley) Austin and Wilma (Mrs. David) Whitehead were responsible for the design ing and making of the colorful and graceful costumes, a major factor in the success of the show. Bob Strouse at the drums assist ed Mrs. Massei and Mr. Lawson in the musical accompaniment. Proceeds of the show benefited the building fund of the Church of Wide Fellowship. —VN TENNIS (Continued from page 1) Bowman, Leo Lupton. Seeded No. 1 in women’s singles is Betty Jane Worsham, who be sides ‘winning the 1951 county championship copped the junior girls’ title this year. Marion de (^osta is seeded No. 2. Others play ing in this event are Patty Wood ell, Millie Montesanti, Mildred Gruebl, Julie McCaskill, Lillian BuUock, Carolyn Nelson, Capt. Margaret Montesanti. Additional entries for mixed doubles are Mrs. Leo Lupton and Sara Metcalf. The tournament is sponsored by the Sandhills Tennis association, of which Angelo Montesanti, Jr., is president, Harry Lee Brown, Jr., tournament chairman. COMMENCEMENT (Continued from Page U to keep their characters clean and honorable; to further their educa tion by aU possible means—“If you want it badly enough, you can get it”; and to think more about “how well you can serve the job than about how the job serves you.” He bade them then, “God speed on life’s great adventure— the adventure of living!” Mr. Hodgkins, again represent ing the school board, awarded di plomas to the 28 graduates, pre senting each one at the same time a red rose from the great bowlful sent by tradition each year by Mrs. Bessie Chandler Clark. Music for the entire program was provided, by request of the seniors, by the school band. Un der direction of L. H. Ledden the imiformed band played the pro- cessional and recessional, also “On Review March” and “The Red wood Forest Overture.” Invocation was by the Rev. C. V. CoveU of Emmanuel Episcopal church, with benediction by Fath er Peter M. Denges. HONORS, AWARDS (Continuea from Page 1) given by Miss Aline Todd, libra rian; for band, by Lynn H. Led den, director; for glee club, by Miss Winifred Bodie, director; and for basebaU (boys), softbaU (girls) and cheerleaders, by Irie Leonard, principal and coach. The program opened with the singing of The Star Spangled Ban ner by all, and a Scripture read ing and prayer by Pete Dana. Betty Jane Worsham, second hon or student, gave the salutatory ad dress. At the close of the pro gram Louise Dorn, senior presi dent, transferred her , cap and gown to Bill Himtley, president of the junior class, next year’s seniors. This was a symboUc transfer, as the Class of 1953 will elect its president in the fall, while BiU at that time wiU be the new Student Council president. CUmax of the program was the valedictory address delivered by Doris Bowles, first honor student, foUowediby the singirtg of the school song. Graduating This Week PAUL FINCH, son of Mrs. A. A. Howlett, received his A. B. de gree in journaUsm Monday at the University of North CaroUna. The degree was awarded in absentia, as Paul completed his work for the degree at Chapel Hill last fall and for the past several months has been at Phoenix, Ariz., where he is empoyed in the post office and is editor of the YMCA paper. He previously earned an A. B. degree at Arizona State college, Tempe, Ariz., after graduation from DarUngton Preparatory school at Rome, Ga., and three years’ study at Carolina before transferring to Arizona. He plans to continue his studies at Arizona in the field of education. SARAH MARIE FRYE, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Thad N. Frye of Carthage, received her Bache lor of Arts degree Monday at Wake Forest college, where she majored in foreign languages. She was a member of the col lege glee club and the choir, the annual staff. Little Theatre group, Westminster FeUowship, the Women’s Rec):eation association and the YWCA. Miss Frye has an appointment in Washington, D. C., as an anal yst with the Armed Forces Se curity agency. Department of De fense, and wiU assume her duties June 26. WITH THE Armed Forces Davis Worsham is slated to re ceive his commission as an ensign in the U. S. Navy from the Naval Officer Candidate school at New port, R. I., today (Friday). Driving to Newport this week for the occasion was his wife, the former Miss Fay I. Morgan of Pinehurst, herself a new graduate. She received her diploma Tuesday at Woman’s college, Greensboro. They will drive home together for Ensign Worsham’s leave before he goes to his next assignment. Ensign Worsham is a graduate of Southern Pines High school and of the University of North Caro lina, where he received his B.S. degree in June 1951. He entered the Navy in the summer. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Wor sham of East Pennsylvania ave nue. Home on leave before overseas assignment is this community’s first, and so far only, jet plane pilot — Second Lieut. Wyndham Clarke, son of Mrs. W. F. Bow man. Lieutenant Clarke arrived home Tuesday from Nellis AFB, Las Vegas, N. M., on completion of gunnery school training. He will leave early next week to report by June 19 to Camp Stoneman, Cal. He received his commission and pilot’s wings February 9 at Craig AFB, Selma, Ala., going then to Williams AFB, Phoenix, N. M., for jet transition training prior to the gunnery course. Marine Staff Sgt. Kayo W. Thomas, 22, has arrived in Korea at an advance Marine airbase of the 1st Marine Aircraft WSng. He has been assigned to the Marine Air Base Squadron of Marine Air Group 12. Upon arrival in the Far East, the Leatherneck was classified at a rear base in Japan and flown to join his new outfit. The new arrival will serve as a replacement for a veteran of the Korean fighting, who will be re turned to Japan and then to the States omder the Marine Corps’ rotation and reserve release poli cies. Prior to his present Korean as-* signment he was stationed at the Marine Corps Supply Depot, San Francisco, Cal. A former student of Jamestown High school, N. Y., Sgt. Thomas enlisted in the Marine Corps in October, 1946. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald P. Wellman, of Aberdeen and Southern Pines. illness in his family did not cam paign at all, and is unknown in many parts of the county, ex pressed his gratification in the fact that his home precinct gave him the lead. He won by 332 to 312, a margin of 20 votes, over BroWn, also a Southern Pines lawyer. Page tallied 207. Page was a strong wiiuier in his clean and friendly spirit in which they were waged. There was a minimum of fireworks, all candi dates in the House and solicitor races resolutely avoiding any is sues which might start a fight. In the campaign for member of the board of education, McGraw sent out a letter on the eve of the primary which indicated some ex plosive issues to be decided in coh- native town and home precinct,'nection with the running of the Aberdeen, where he was accorded 464 votes. Brown had 284, while Fullenwider had 72—a niunber of these no doubt attributable to the many Southern Pines residents who vote in Aberdeen precinct. Few Fireworks The county campaigns won commendation on aU sides for the schools. That these may have been in large part purely local in Carthage was indicated by the. fact that McGraw scored decisive wins in both East Carthage and West Carthage precincts. He also won in Cameron. Phillips’ reel ection came through victories in the other 14. COUNTY VOTE (Continued from Page 1) Too Close For Comfort In the race for the county sol icitor post, it was not until the county board of elections had made its official tally Tuesday that the actual margin between Brown and Page was known. Re visions in the Cameron vote and an error in the report for Bensa- lem caused the difference to be reported 16 votes Saturday night, narrowing to eight on Sunday, and by Monday reduced to three. At this stage it seemed that the official tally or a recount could easily make Page the winner by one or two votes. All anybody knew definitely was, that it was close—^too close for comfort for either of the men or their sup porters. The official return was 1,990 for Brown to 1,967 for Page, with 590 for Fullenwider. Many Angles Page later declared himself in a quandary as to the second pri mary challenge. He has five days from the official count, which gives him until Saturday, to make up his mind. The probability that he will challenge increased with the announcement made Wtednes- day that there would be a runoff at the state level, between Judges Parker and Bobbitt for Associate Justice of the State Supreme Court. - “There are lots of angles, though,” he admitted—one of them being that four defeats in a row (he has previously bid for the State House seat, and Aber deen town commissioner) would be a hard obstacle to surmount in later candidacies. To withdraw at this time would leave him in an unsuually strong position to run again. Yet with a 23-vote margin, it’s a toss-up between the two' men, and “I hate to quit in a contest before the final bell,” the young lawyer said. Strength Evenly Divided The closeness of the vote sur prised many who had conceded Brown a far wider margin througho-ut the county, while an ticipating that each man would beat the other in his home pre cinct. Page took nine, or one more than half, of the 17 precincts, with decisive wins in two of these, small margins in the others. The vote showed that each man was known and had a following, in practically every precinct.
