Club Hears
Historian's Report
At the recent Rose Hill Wo
men's Club meeting the follow
ing Historian's Report was pre
sented. This report of the club
year 1967-68 was prepared by
Mrs. C. F. Hawes, Sr., His
torian.
The 1967-68 season of the
Rose Hill Woman's Club, Its
forty-second year, came to a
close with a membership of 27.
Under the capable leadership of
Mrs. C. R. Mosback, many
worthwhile projects were suc
cessfully accomplished.
During the fall the club was
hostess to the annual meeting of
District Eleven. On the night
preceeding the meeting, state
and district officers were
entertained at supper. The Dis
trict President, Mrs. E. P.
Blanchard, and the District Se
cretary, Mrs. D. J. Fussell,
are members of the Rose Hill
club.
At the Open House held in
November at the Dobbs Farm
Girl's Home in Kinston, mem
bers of our club assisted as
hostesses, besides donating
cookies for the occasion. Some ?
of our members acted as host
esses at the Old People's Home
in Kenansville during Beautic
ians - Hairdressers Week. We
have also been asked to serve
as hostesses at the dedication
of the new Rose Hill Post Office.
Instead of having a regular
meeting and program meeting
in December, the members a
long with their children and
grandchildren, enjoyed a Chris
tmas Party at the Community
Building, with a covered dlsn
supper, Christmas carols and
a visit from Santa Claus.
Pecans were donated to the
Red Cross for soldiers at Chr
istmas. Magazines and cata
logues were taken to O'Berry
Hospital for the patients, and a
$7.00 donation was made for a
party for the patients. Birth
day gifts weremadefor inmates
of correctional institutions. A
donation of $7.00 was made to
friends of Wilmington College
for a book for the library. As
a memorial to Majorle Yokley
State President, a donation of
$10.00 was made to the Sallle
Southahall Cotten Loan Fund.
Agreat loss to the Rose Hill
Club was the death of one of
Its members, Mrs. J. M. Jer
ome, who had been active In club
work for many years, having
been president of the local club,
president of the district, and
local club Woman of the Year.
For several years the class
for the Retarded has been in
cluded in the club budget. In
March this class was invited
to a dinner with the club and
participated in the club pro
gram. Members of the club
also assisted the work of this
class by donating cakes for the
sale at the Poultry Festival.
At the Arts Festival in Clin
ton our women won several
awards, two of which were first
place.
Early in the year one of our
members, Mrs. Erchey Lanier,
volunteered her services for
the library; accordingly, the
club has not had the usual expen
se of paying the salary of a li
brarian. Fifty-three books have
been added to the library by
club members and friends, and
circulation of the library books
has been substantially increas
ed.
Funds for the various pro
J ecu has been obtained through
dues, the sale of cards, and
a Game Party held at the Com
munity Building. '
The annual scholarship of- <
frred to a high school senior
has been awarded to Kuherine
Benton for use at the Baptist
Hospital School of Nursing,
Winston-Salem. Under the le
adership of the Fine Arts
(Music) Chairman, and award
was offered to the student in
the elementary school showing
the most Improvement In mus
ic. The club president pre
sented this award at the music
recital to Karen Teachey.
For several years the club
has been working on plans for
town beautlflcatlon In the Com
munity Improvement Program,
negotiating with other local
cluna and with the town gover
nment. This spring these plans
are materializing. Work has
already begun on the block along
Railroad St., between Main ana
Church Streets. The club takes
pride in the work accomplished
toward this project by our club
member, Town Commissioner,
Mrs. E. P. Blanchard.
As we look back over the
year, we feel that we really
nave accomplished something
toward the Administration
Theme: "Build with youth for
a Better Tomorrow".

Our Privil?d|?d
President Kennedy once sski
:o a graduating class "We are
:he privlledged, and It should
be the ambition of every free
citizen to express and expand
that privilege so that all of
our countrymen and women
share in it'*.
How tio these words 4>ply
to Duplin County graduates In
1968? Here's how:
They have had the gift of
a high school education?and
its a great gift. They have
had the privilege of sharing
their teachers education, train
ing and experience. Some of
them loved the study and the
learning during the world that
was theirs for four years?for
a few others It was just a
grind, with no Inspiration. Most
of them discovered new avenues
of strength in favorite subjects,
some love the entire variety
of learning, and about all have
developed a base for their
hopes, dreams and plans for
their future.
It's been a great privilege
to make some wonderful friends
In the years when life was so
complex that it was often puz
zling. Thesefriendshaveshar
ed your joys and sorrows, and
some of them will last a life
time, becoming more cherish
ed as you grow older. Other
friendships will float away
to become distant memories or
perhaps forgotten. But all have
helped to develop each students
personality and to teach that
you give of yourself by being
a friend in order to make one.
They are privileged to have
h ad their parents In tnese years.
Their influence has been most
important and a word of en
couragement or direction has
helped no matter if you groan
ed now and then at the direc
tion, in the end it was worth
while.
As President Kennedy said,
graduates are indeed privileged
and their desire will be to use
this privilege as a beginning to
share them with their world.
Our American poet, James
Russell Lowell gave words to
it:
"Not what we give, but what we
share,
For the gift without the giver
is bare;
Who gives himself with his
almesfeeds three;
Himself, his hungering neighbor
(from The Vision of Sir Launfal,
Part III)
School No. 2
Mr. Archie Kenan, 9th grade
teacher of Elementary school
No. 2 In Rose Hill has resisted
his work here and accepted a
position with the Employment
Security Commission in the
Durham office.
Mr. Kenan began his new
work on April 19tn. We wish
him success In his new position.
