Hall Building DedicatMMg Chairman of James Sprunt Institute's Board of Trustees. Jimmy Strickland, has an nounced plans far the dedication of James Sprunt Institute's newest addition, an ultra modern vocational/technical building. The 29,500 square foot structure will be named in honor of Dixon S. Hall, first president of the "new" James Sprunt.

He is married to the former Elaine Page of Burlington. Dixon and Elaine reside with their three children., Cute. Page, and Diiaine. in Kenansville. Hall, a native of Fayetteville - and a graduate of East Carolina .University, came to Duplin ? 'ounty in 1964 to head what was technically a branch of Wayne Technical Institute. From that beginning and under his leader ship, the name James Sprunt Institute was reborn as a new school in the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges. Hall has served on numerous local and state civic, govern mental, business, and industrial boards, and has been publicly honored as "SENCIander of foe Month" by the Wilmington Star-News; "Man of the Week" by the Goldsboro News-Argus; and received "Bosi of the Year Award" from the Kenansville Jaycees in 1974. Hall has also served as chairman of the Business Programs in Wayne, Johnson. Greene, Duplin, and Sampson Counties. Once a high school drop-out. Hall returned to school with a determination to complete his education. The experience un doubtedly increased his under standing of the needs of students who have had similar experiences and led him to provide counseling and specially designed programs of instruc tion which would help them along life's way. He has directed the development of a school with a heart big enough for everyone willing to develop their academic talents and up grade their technical skills. The excellent buildings and campus, the variety of instruc tional programs, the capable and devoted staff and faculty, and the thousands of students the institution now serves are a testimony to the confidence the people of Duplin County have in Dixon Hall and of their gratitude for his leadership. The public is cordially invited to attend the dedication of the Dixon S. Hall building on the James Sprunt Institute campus at 12 noon, Friday. October 27. For those who desire lunch, barbecue will be catered at S2 per plate. Principal speaker will be Bufiis L. Edmisten. North Carolina Attorney General. ?: ? ? ? ? - . ... - .
