Morehead Students Honor
Mrs. Baily, Retiring Teacher
(Note: the following article was
written by Ellen Bordeaux Ma
son, staff member of THE
NEWSTIMES, and former stu
dent of Mrs. Waldron Baily.)
Students at Morehead City high
school bestowed a rare honor on
a faculty member Friday. Mayor
George W. Dill Jr. proclaimed the
day Helen Baily Day in honor of
Mrs. Waldron Baily, a teacher who
will retire next month after 30
years on the faculty.
Mrs. Baily was given a surprise
program during a special assembly
in the auditorium Friday morning,
A skit, using some of Mrs. Baily’s
favorite expressions, was given by
the juniors and seniors. A, song
about Mrs. Baily was composed by
Terry Mizesko and sung by Diana
Beaver. Lenwood Lee, principal,
spoke briefly as did mayor Dill.
Richard Cummins, with the aid
of pictures obtained from Mrs.
Baily's husband, gave a clever
commentary on her life.
The senior class presented' her
with a bouquet of red roses, the
home economics classes baked her
a cake and the student body pre
sented her with a silver tea serv
ice. A scroll signed by the students
accompanied the gift of silver. Af
ter school, Mrs. Baily was honored
at a reception given by student
organizations.
Mrs. Baily began teaching in
Morehead City in 1934 and, al
though she is leaving the halls of
the high school, she will be loved
and remembered by those she oft
en referred to (sometimes in exas
oeration) as “my dear sweet chil
dren.”
Mrs. Baily was graduated magna
cum laude from Syracuse univers
ity with a bachelor of arts degree.
She majored in unathematics and-t
had equivalent minors in French,
German and Latin. During her col
lege career she was a member of
Delta Gamma sorority and was
'secretary of Pi Mu Epsiloh, hon
orary math society.
After her graduation from Syra
cuse, she taught gometry and ad
vanced math in New York City un
til she married Mr. Waldron Baily
and moved to Morehead City in
1926.
During her 30 years at MCHS
she has taught mathematics (ge
ometry, trigonometry and algebra
III), Latin and French.
Mrs. Bally has been known af
fectionately through the years as
“Peaches,” and on her desk she
has bookends with the nickname
burned into the wood. The book
ends were made in the school shop
by a former student.
Mrs. Baily has another trade
mark, a glass of ice water that
she keeps on her desk. I feel sure
that more than one student has
eyed it longingly on those hot sum
mer days that come at the begin
ning and end of school.
Students who come into her class
know they had better be prepared
to answer questidhs. It doesn’t take
a student long to figure out a teach
er’s method of calling on them, if
she uses a system. Some teachers
use their roll book, some go up
and down the rows of seats, others
go to every other person.
Mrs. Baily has a foolproof meth
od. She has a group of index cards
with a student’s name on each one.
At the beginning of the class she
shuffles the gards and whoever’s
name is on top gets called on. To
make matters worse, she keeps
shuffling all during class! Nobody
could beat that system.
Mrs. Baily has directed plays,
helped seniors choose their class
mottoes and colors, assisted in or
dering class rings, graduation in
vitations, caps and gowns, organiz
ed ceremonies and programs and
done all the many other things a
teacher must do besides teach. She
has been a friend, helper, counseldr
and commander to the scores of
students who have “darkened her
doorway.” Her badge of identifi
cation is the oversize handbag she
always carries.
Like the students, Mrs. Baily has
her outside interests. She is a
member of Delta Kappa Gamma,
a teacher’s society, and the Lit
erary . add Art department of the

Mrs. Daily shuffles her “name cards” as she prepares to begin

bond referendum at its recent
meeting at the civic center.
According to the Rev. John Vi
ser, publicity chairman for the as

that each minister should indivi

wishes, rather than endorse the
proposal as an association.

vice at Fort Macon was well re
ceived; about 1,400 people were
present for the service.
Received at the service was $154
in donations for the migrant minis

State Seizes
Truckload Hard
Crabs Friday
Billy Smith, Atlantic fish dealer,
reported yesterday morning that a
truckload of hard crabs, valued at
$1,300, was confiscated by the state
commercial fisheries division Fri
day night at New Bern.
Mr. Smith said that he was ship
ping the crabs to Cambridge, Md.
He added that the seafood was
seized, he believed, because
“sponge crabs” were in the ship
ment. North Carolina fisheries reg
ulations prohibit the taking of
sponge crabs.
Mr, Smith estimated that 30 per
cent of the truckload consisted of
sponge crabs. He said the crabs
were unloaded at Nfcw Bern and
the truck, which he had hired, was
probably back in this county by
now.
The crab dealer said a colored
man was driving the truck when
it was stopped.
Carteret crab dealers have re
quested that the state permit the
taking of sponge crabs, females
ready to spawn, but the state has
not, to date, lifted the restriction.
Mr. Smith stated yesterday that
he had not been notified as to
whether any formal charge had
been filed against him.

Ground Fires
Still Burn
In Open Grounds
Fire fighters were still working
yesterday to put out ground fires
in the Open Grounds.
The fires arc the aftermath of
an almost week long blaze that de
stroyed thousands of acres of tim
ber last week.
The blaze caused thousands of
dollars in loss of timberland, as
well as thousands of dollars to fight
it. It started at five different places
ion the Merrimon road last Tues
day.
Just before those outbreaks, a
fire occurred at Otway and the
county fire-fighting equipment was
at the Otway fire when the other
five blazes were started.
Foresters report that the fires on
the Merrimon road were set.
The blaze, which was one of the
worst in Carteret history, was fi
nally brought under control Satur
day. A light shower occurred Fri
day morning. Though welcome, it
was only of slight help in knocking
out the fire.
Water was still being pumped on
ground fires yesterday.

Substitute Ferry
• Changes Suggested
In Route Numbering
By NORWOOD YOUNG
Ocracoke—A Morehead City busi
nessman, Ben Alford, was named
president of the All Seashore High
way association at its recent spring
meeting here. He succeeds Benja
min L. O'Neal, of Ocracoke.
Vice-presidents appointed were
as follows: first district, Doward
Brugh, Ocracoke; second district,
Monroe Gaskill. Cedar Island;
tliird district, Dan L. Walker, Long
Beach.
Joe DuBois, of Morehead City,
was reappointed secretary, and
Norwood Young, Beaufort, was ap
pointed treasurer.
Due to transportation hardships
imposed on Ocracoke citizens by
discontinuing ferry service between
Atlantic and Ocracoke for 30 days,
the association asked that a Hat
teras or Ocracoke Inlet ferry be
pressed into service as a substi
tute. The Atlantic-Ocracoke ferry,
Sea Level, will be in drydock May
131.
A second resolution to the high
way commission asked that signs
designating US 17 as the “Ocean
Highway” be removed, since it ia
not a true ocean route. The group
also favored immediate improve
ment to US 17 for making it a main
artery handling the additional
north-south traffic generated by
the opening of Chesapeake Bay
tunnel.
The group also asked the high
way commission to eliminate the
number, US 158, from the highway
down the Outer Banks via Kitty
Hawk to Hatteras. Instead, the as
sociation recommended that the
route, numbered US 70, be extend
ed from Atlantic via Cedar Island,
Ocracoke and Hatteras to US 168
in Virginia, thereby making the
current all-seashore area in North
Carolina part of a coast-to-coaat
route from California to Virginia.
The All Seashore Highway asso
ciation was chartered a decade JVjo
to promote development of an aU
seashore highway along the state's
Outer Banks from Virginia to
South Carolina. Its bylaws wet*
later changed to include promo
tion of any progressive movement
that would benefit the coast, in
cluding mosquito control and bench
erosion.
Its membership extends to all
coastal counties, and any other cit
izens interested in promoting coast
al development.
nomas Bennett, county legisla
tor, has introduced in the general
assembly a bill that wilt permit
persons to take shrimp, fish and
clams for personal use. The bill
puts Carteret under the same act
that now applies to New Hanover,
Pender and Brunswick counties.
People are not, however, permit
ted to take suck sealpod from pol
luted areas or areas closed by the
state for planting at oysters.
