H oke ighlights by Debbie Anderson Another school year is steadily nearing its end as the Class of '71 will pay their last respects to Hoke County High School Monday night May thirty-first. Seniors finished their exams Tuesday and have been practicing for the commencement exercises since Wednesday. This weekend marks the beginning of the end as Baccalaureate Sermon will be Sunday. The Future Teacher's of America Club is giving a senior breakfast Monday morning for the Class of '71. Ail members of the Senior Class are invited to attend. It will be held in the Gibson Gym. Monday, will be the awards day, as outstanding seniors are recognized for their achievements. Then Monday night at eight o'clock in the High School Stadium the Senior Class of 1971 will stand united for the last time, to graduate from ole H.H.S. Last Tuesday night was the annual Athletic Banquet. The speaker for the event was Mr. O.W. Severance from Atlanta, Georgia. After this, the long awaited time had come to see who was to receive which award. It is unnecessary to go into detail but 1 would like to say congratulations to all our athletes, all of them are important to H.H.S.. regardless of the fact that they did or did not receive some type award. There were several new types of awards administered this year. Among these were the Christian Athlete's Award and the W.T. Gibson Award. The co-captains of the varsity football team recognized one man who has, in the past years displaced his interest in young people and high school students. He lias done so much for us, the young people, that we are unable to thank him enough. This man is Mr. Neill James Blue. It is just nice to know we have such concerned people behind us, backing, us all the way!! The VICA Club met last Thursday to discuss the accomplishments of the club over the last year. It was decided to organize separate clubs for the Trade and Industrial classes. This would result in a closer relationship between the instructor and his students. Also, this action will create competition between Last year, all John Benson saved was $5432. Thisyeai; be joined the Payroll Savings Plan. the clubs, which will in the end produce more efficient officers for the leadership of the V.I.C.A. Club at H.H.S. Last Monday night, Mr. Frank Crumpler gave a steak supper for the members of the Distributive Education Club at Rowland's Bar-B-Que and Grill. Then last Thursday, Mr. Donald Steed, the D.E. teacher, entertained the members of the Distributive Education and Marketing classes at his home for a cook-out. The Reverend Mr. WinberTy is giving a steak supper at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hosteller in honor of the Hoke High Boys Tennis Team. Thus ends another year and thus ends the last edition of the Hoke Highlights for the 1970- 1971 academic year. MARY0LY YOURS by MARY ODOM Significant legislation passed the House this week and I'm not especially proud of all of it. 1 earned my halo, however, by voting aye on the Obscenity bill. Although many have applauded its passage it has the possibility of setting off a witches hunt. It would have been frightfully unladylike to have opposed it for there is no question about there being an abundance of trash in print, on film and on TV. I cannot help being a bit amused at newspaper editors who praise the open meeting bill and the obscenity bill in the same breath. Censorship by any name is ... well, censorship. Two bills to aid private colleges sailed through the House. If these two bills get past the Senate and Appropriations Committees, 1 fear North Carolina has some bitter tears in store. They violate all principles of democracy and separation of church and state. There seems very little chance of them failing for the members of the General Assembly lean heavily toward favoring higher education anyway and so many are graduates of private institutions. 1 truly pray that I am seeing goblins where none exist. It struck me as ironic that these two enabling bills were approved just as the House was repealing legislation enacted in 1955 concerning schools. 1 opposed the Pearsall bill many years ago and it is not much comfort to have time prove one right. Think of all the time and effort and money wasted! The Pearsall plan was fatally unconstitutional. These two aid to private school bills are much more subtle and much more deadly. It will probably be years before the results are seen and the damage to our public schools may be irrevocable. To ease my heartache over these bills which 1 consider North Carolina's worst legislation in many a day, I came home and attacked my neglected flower bed. You can work off an enormous amount of frustration by digging and weeding, fertilizing and replanting. You can also get a sunburn and sore muscles. The House rcdistricting bill was approved and although the new map looks peculiar in spots, 1 have no real st/ong feelings about it. Our district remains the same geographically but we lose a representative, electing three instead of four. Scotland and Hoke could have been a separate district but everyone seemed to want to keep the 24th intact. Barring a challenge on the plan, we'll live with that arrangement for ten years. Wednesday the 24th district delegation, together with several other representatives, sponsored a bill to create a Commission on Indian affairs. Quite a few people from Pembroke were on hand along with others representing the Coharies, Waccamaw Siouans, Cherokees, and Walihas. The Lumbees had so many representatives that 1 dare not try to list all the names for fear of leaving someone out. We were glad to have them there and hope the bill will be enacted into law. The funniest thing that happened all week was the absolute confusion that ensued when the report of the University Trustees committee was presented to joint session. Lawrence Davis of Winston - Salem, freshman at that, dared to make a nomination from the floor. Apparently the committee report is almost sacred and heretofore everyone had just accepted it without question. Once Mr. Davis nominated someone else, everybody $ot into the set 2nd our most able and efficient presiding officers were at a loss as to what to do. In desperation they declared a recess. When we reconvened at 2:15 it was announced that the trustee problem would be settled next week. Laurinburg s Ellen Newbold was one of the committee nominees and 1 hope she will be elected officially Tuesday. Thursday afternoon 1 attended the hearing on a bill concerning the taxation of farm land. The auditorium was filled and overflowing with farmers but 1 didn't see anyone from Robeson, Scotland or Hoke. . Committees on social services, ABC, education, insurance, mental health and finance all met this week and considered more than the usual number of important bills. Guess that is because we re going down the home stretch. We seemed to have more than our quota of school children through the building this week also. Interest has been expressed by homefolks on the bear, bobcat, and quail bills. Thank heavens my constituents are unanimous on these subjects. I wouldn't know what to do otherwise. ^Vl4(vl' ;jr?

Junior officers who have left the Army are responding in increasing: numbers to invi tations to return to active duty. Sinoe the program of in viting former officers to re turn to the service began nearly two years ago, 920 in vitations have been made and HI?or 12.1 per cent?of those officers invited have returned to active duty. Under the program, the Army invites the return of former officers who were considered outstanding dur ing their active service and have been able to realistically compare a career in the ser vice with a civilian occupa tion.
