ROBERSON VILLE
SCHOOL NOTES
On Thursday evening, December IS,
at the Parents-Teachers meeting, the
quadruple wedding, marking the end
of the Husband-Hunters Contest, was
solemnized.
To the strains of the wedding march
played by Miss Essie Robinson, Mr.
T. K. Jenkins, soloist, upon the arm
of Mr. (7) Ida Whitehurst came
down the aisle. Following the song—
"Though you belong to somebody
else"—sung with great gusto by Mr.
Jenkins, Parson Roberson marched
down the aisle and took his position
on the stage. Alter him came the
littel fairy-like Murriel Wynne, ring
bearer. Then, Miss Eva Peele and
Mr. Herbert Highsmith, Miss Maude
Maness and Mr. Pitt Robe r son, Miss
Lenoa Moore and Mr. (?) Millie Roe
buck, and Miss Alma Murray and
Mr. Wiley Burras Rogerson were unit
edjvith the ring ceremony.
The connubial felicity enjoyed by
than was of short duration, because
whithin the hour they were in court,
the husband or the wife entering suit
for divorce upon some fictitious
grounds. With Mr. Haywood Everett
(supposedly of Nevada) as judge; Mr.
R. L Leake, lawyer for the defen
dants; Mr. G. H. Cox, lawyer for the
plaintiff*; and Brownie Roberson,
Christine Taylor, John Robt. Jenkins,
and Vernon Ward, as witnesses, the
divorce proceedings were interesting
ly and~«teverly carried out.
Miss Alma Murray, the bride win
ning the greatest number of votes in
the contest, was awarded the wedding ]
cake. Afterwards in the Home, Eco
nomics rooms the wedding supper
was served, to which all the couples,
their campaign managers, and several
friends were invited.
The campaign managers with the
amounts raised by them were:
Mr. T. R. Jenkins for Mine Moore,
$1.66; Rev. E. W. Mason for Miss
Manege, 916.58; Miss Miss
Murray, $68.36; Mrs. V. A. Ward for
Miss Peele, $6.10.
The total was $81.68, an amount

tor which we want again to thank

who took part in the wedding, and
each person who voted in the contest.
It was generally known that the
money raised in the Husband-Hunt
ers Contest was to be used to make
the first payment on the new school
piano, a beautiful Ellington. It was
quite fitting that at the culmination
of the contest—the P. T. A. meeting—
the piano should grace the auditorium
stage and make its first official ap
pearance.
At three o'clock on Friday after
noon, December 16, all examinations
ended and the school assembled in the
auditorium to witness the Christmas
celebration and to see Santa Claus
and hiß big, beautifully decorated
tree. ' I 4*4
A round the tree were the gifts ar
ranged in grade groups. These were
delivered at the conclusion of a short
program, Santa giving out those to
the children of the first grade and
the teachers with pupils, as assist
ants, distributing those to the other
grardes. Then fruit was furnished to
each pupil by the teachers. Both pu
pils and teachers ahared in the joys
of Santa Claus. The gift though
that brought the most surprise to the
recipient and the most real joy to
the donors was the school gift to Mr.
Leake, a combination smoking stand
and magazine rack with accessories.
The Christmas holiday begun on
Friday afternoon, December 16, will
last for two weeks. School work will
be resumed on Monday, January 2,
1928. It is hoped that each child will
have the biggest and merriest Christ

mas ever, and will be ready to begin
the New Year in dead earnestness.
Despite the fact that school work
closed on Friday, December 16, ten
of the school faculty showed their
school spirit by attending the County
Teachers' meeting. To do this several
had to change previously made plans
considerably.
Don't forget the box party to be
given by the Seniors on January 3,
1928. Come and bring others with
you.
