The following letter was issued
this week by O.'P. Johnson, presi
dent of the Duplin-Sampson Alum

explanatory:
To Duplin-Sampson Duke Alumni:
Dear Friends:
The Duplin-Sampson Duke Alum
ni Association will meet in the
Fellowship Room of Kenansville
Methodist Church on Thursday,
March 14, at 7:00 o'clock p.m. The
ladies of Kenansville Methodist
Church will prepare and serve sup
per. The cost, will be $1.50 per plate
and I assure you it will be a deli
cious banquet.
Dr. B. G. Childs of Duke will be
the speaker. He is an interesting
and talented speaker with a sin
cere love for Duke and those who
attended school there.
Pictures of the 1956 Duke-Carolina
football game will be shown.
Come out and see Wray Carlton run
over Carolina. We hope Wray can
come for this meeting, but Spring
Football practice will be reaching
a climax at that time, and we are
not sure he can be with Us.
It is a real undertaking to try
to prepare a meal for a- family of
seventy unless we know how many
will be present. That being true, we
will prepare only for those who
purchase tickets.
I am asking Dr. Amos Johnson
of Garland to be responsible for
ticket sales in Sampson and Bill
Taylor of Warsaw to take this re
sponsibility for Duplin. Each should
appoint an assistant in each com
munity that has Duke Alumni in
or near it. We sincerely hope all
membefs of our Duke family will
attend and bring their husbands or
wives with them. 1 will check with
Amos Johnson and Bill Taylor on
March 8 in order to get the num
ber to whom tickets have been
sold. -it will simplify matters if you
will give them full co-operation.
We look forward to having you
in Kenansvilie.
Cordially yours,
