/ ' Great Social Evoit .
One of ti.e most enjoyable and
noteworthy affairs of the year
was a banquet given by the Hote
County Teachers’ Association
last Thursday evenine at the
Raeford High School Building at
which were present practically
all the teachers of the county,
four of the five members of the
Goonty Board of Education and
their wives, all the members of
I5he Raeford Board with their
’wives and a few invited guests.
The purpose of this banquet was
’ to have the teachers get ac
quainted with each other and
^H§ members of the boards and
to invite them in a spirit of
friendliness and cordiality as
well as to provide an evening’s
«ilAertainment’. ^
Upon entering the door each
of these intellectuals signified
hiS/ willingness to drop l^is ac
customed dignity by donning a
gayly colored paper cap Orna
mented with bells, plumes and
tassels.. of contrasting colors.
They then repaired to the hall
jgharealong table, beautifully
Hoke county,” and Supt W. P.
Hawfield on tha relatioO of the
teacher to the community.”
After these more or less frivo
lous subjects, the audience then
turned its attention to a more
serious one, so serious in fact,
that it took the form of a de
bate with the query “Resolved
that it is better to be a centipede
with a corn on every toe than a
giraffe with a sore throat. ” Miss
Estelle Ray and Mr. Paul Dick
son piesented strong affirmative
while Miss Gladys Carson and
Dr. H. R. Cromartie defended
the negative.
Much merriment was caused,
after the first course when Mr.
Stackhouse told the men that the
ladies had some ornaments
which they wished them to
wear and asked the men who
would promise id wear them to
raise their hands. When all had
agreed, each received a long
pair of green, red, yellow, or
black ear rings, some of which
were screwed on uuder protest.
An unique feature of the pro
gram was the drawing of prizes
white
and
^ iMdecorated in yellow and
~wa8 laid for seventy guests
wKere an elaborate dinner was
s'erv^ by the Domestic Science
Glass Of the Raeford High School
Prof. Stac'khouse, President of
the Teachers Association and
3upt. of the Raeford School, in
his happy manner proved him-
s df a genial host and toast mas
’. ter. Between courses toasts
were given to the County Teach
\j^ry. by Miss Annie Fulghum, to
‘‘Trustees” by Miss Mamie Mc-
Kfithan and to “Saturday Ne-
grow’ and School Teachers’
Mary Bradley. The
t-.-'
I&5'
:
Keithan, Freddie Fridell and E,
R. Cromartie delighted the gath-
'' ering with severat songs, Misses
' Bkinie Lee Upchurch and Judy
Oalvert with solos.
Another notable feature of the
program was the short talks on
vital topics. Mr. Trenialne, Prin
cipal of the Antioch School spoke
, convincingly on “The necessity
of co-operation between county
and city teachers.” Next Mr.
^ W. T. Covin^km told in an in-
^ j teresting way m the formation
of Hoke county^and the • growth
of Raeford, recalling the titne
when most of the land on which
. Raeford is situated could have
. been bought at six dollars an
acre. Dr G. Brown, Chair
man of the County Board of Edu
cation gavu a shun talk
on
throughout the\ey«trtng. These
prizes were dopareirby business
firms of Raeford. Among j the
lucky were Miss Gladys Carson,
who drew a string of ivory beads
donated by Hatcher’s Jewelry
Store, Mrs. Hawfield a bottle of
toilet water from Hbjie Drug Co.,“
Miss Pauline Culbreth, of Anti
och, a pair of silk hose frrm Me
