Graduating Class Of 55 Is
New Record For Shelby School
Diplomas Awarded 55 Regular Graduates, Nine
Others, And 14 In Teacher Training—Eloquent
Address By Dr. Bateman—Big Event In Local
School History. Medals And Awards.
Tuesday evening, 55 hoys and Kiris,
radiant with the pride of achievement
and the smile of earned success, march
ed on the staKe at Central school, and
off as a unit—forever. History now is
the class of 1924, but in that brief
span of time thundering applause
from a packed auditorium and gallery
greeted the largest graduating class
in the history of the town. It was
without doubt the greatest evening in
♦ he record of the local schools, the
cheering of fellow students and the
beaming eyes of parems and friends
and faculty attest that. Fourteen stu
dents of the teacher training depart
ment were awarded cer'ificates and
nine of the number also received
high school diplomas, making a grand
total of 78 types of splendid young
manhood and womanhood placed on
the marts of the world as the finished
products of the Shelby high for 1924.
The presentation of the coveted d;
plomas, however, was only a part of
the evening exercises, which were
featured by a spurring address by Dr.
R. J. Bateman, of Asheville, the class
program and the awarding of medal
and prizes.
Class fcxercises.
The filing in of the senior das ,
their last march into the halls they
"have inhabited for 11 years, was the
formal opening of the program, which
was followed by the Anvil Chorus by
the school glee club. The address of
welcome to the faculty, fellow stu
dents, and the great throng of rela
tives and admirers was by Johrv Proc
tor McKnight. the alert youngster
selected by his many clasmates as
their president," and the address if
nothing more was the reward for their
selection. This was followed by the
class history, the ioys and sorrows of
11 years in the school room and four
years in high school, by Alpha Gettys,
an honor student and a medal winner.
The last will and testament, the offi
cial document of departure of the
class of ’2-1, was by Selma Greene,
winner of the Dover Bible medal. The
prophecy, an entertaining dream that
told of the fortune 20 years hence of
the 55 boys and girls, was by Minnie
Eddins Roberts, another honor stu
dent. “Pickaninny Lullaby” by the
glee club was the conclusion of the
class exercises, and thereafter the
class was honored instead of honor
ing.
“How Set Your Sail.”
“How* Set Your Sail?” was the
keynote of a fervent address by Dr. R
J. Bateman, of Asheville, that urged
and spurred onward that honored
group of boys and girls, and beseech
ed them to begin painting today their
setting sun of tomorrow. “How hold
your helm” was the question hurled at
them as he informed them that their
hereafter was in their own hands and
their future a matter of their own
making. Inspiring and impelling at
times was the exhortation to the class,
and vivid and imaginative at others
as the speaker depicted what might
be, and how. In opening the Asheville
pastor paid a glowing tribute to Car
olina and the Southland, the stability
of citizenship and the blood that is
less than one per cent foreign. “The
world of tomorrow depends on the
Southland and such as you, products
of a noble heritage. In all my love and
fidelity of the South I have no apolo
gies to make nor a single regret at
being a native of the gallant Dixie.”
Dr. Bateman made a withering
reply to the writer who in discussing
presidential possibilities eliminated
one after another every souj,bernei
because he is a native of the South.
“Should the writer review his his
tory he will find that the greatest of
our presidents have been southerners,
not a few, but each and every one of
the greatest. The two most outstand
ing figures in American history were
Southerners,” and with the linking
together of Lincoln and Wilson the
speaker drew enthusiastic applause.
“Lincoln on both sides was of Geor
gian blood and our Woodrow Wilson
is, and will be, the greatest of the
South’s noble sons.”
^ “My question of ‘Whither goest
Thou?’ will be determined by you and
none other. Life is before you, make
of it what you will, but it is with you
alone to make. The boy or girl among
you that has in him or her the ‘natur
al stuff’ the ability to fight and go
forward and accept achievement as
reward, is the one on whom I will
stake my bets. Some may inherit the
wealth and position made by another,
but I warn you it will be the one who
has the ‘stuff’ in him, not around him,
that will win. Set your star and climb.!
Nothing can stop you. Forty years j
from now the lives that now lie before
you will be almost an open book and!
complete. What you will to be nowj
is what you will bo then."
Presentation of Diplomas.
Following the address the diplomas
were presented to the graduates by
Prof. J. H. Grigs:, principal of the
school, as the names were announced

boy and girl—Hugh Arrowood and
Alpha Gettys. No one thing won for
them the Washburn cups, the most
coveted emblems of the school, but
many things, and from the applause
that rocked the building (luring the
presentation popularity must have
been among the many. The cup
awarded Hugh Arrowood was offered
to the boy with the best record in
scholarship, conduct and athletics, and
the boy who won was an honor grad
uate, neither absent nor tardy during
the year and a star on two ’varsity
athletic teams .and apparently the
reigning favorite of his fellow stu
dents from the wild cheering that fol
lowed the presentation. The other cup

Tom Mix A Feature
At Princ&as Theatre
A special feature at the Princess
Theatre Friday is the charming Mae
Murray in one of her best pictures,
“The Fashion Row." This film will
prove enjoyable to more than those
just interested in fashion, for there
is an appeal in the “row." An excep
tional picture with no extra charges.
Saturday, Tom Mix, the favorite in
daredevil films, will appear at the
Princess in “The Trouble Shooter.”
“Tony’, Tom’s wonder horse, stars
along with Tom in the thrilling ride
across the trestle ahead of a locomo

devil than any other picture in which
the wild horseman has appeared.
“The Three Musketeers,” one of the
greatest hits of recent years, will be
at the local theatre Monday and Tues
day. Attendance records have been
broken everywhere this picture has
been shown, and the attendance here
is expected to he large not only be
cause of the fame of the film but be
cause the nroceeds will be for the ben
efit o fthe Boy Scout*.

T WORK GOING OH
AROUND NEW [OOP
Extension ('yelp Of Work Almost
Completed. More Than Goal Se
cured In Shelby.
Recently in the extension of the
program of the State Young Men’s
Christian Association a banquet was
held here, at which time Shelby pledg
ed her quota of the amount necessary
for a “Y” secretary for this district,
which is composed of surrounding
towns where there are no Y. M. C. A.
buildings and organization. The fol
lowing letter from J. Wilson Smith,
state secretary, informs how the pro
gram is progressing:
“We are writing to report the
progress which has been made in the
extension of the program of the
State Young Men’s Christian Asso
ciation in the Western District. The
following towns have contributed to
the support of a District Secretary:
Goal Secured
Lincolnton $ 500 $195.50
Statesville 1000 - 655.50
Hickory 800 807.50
Morganton 500 575.00
Shelby 500 537.50
One more city, Mooresvill?, re
mains to be canvassed and the cycle
will be complete. In addition, it is
the plan to carry on a program in the
.'.mailer towns, like Cherryville and
Newton, where the remainder of the
budget will be secured.
We are now looking for a capahli
secretary who will devote his energies
to the development of the Boys’ Work
in your territory. Ln the meantime
before the new secretary' arrives, Mr
.! T. Fesperman, State Boys’ Work
Secretary, has been giving a gener
ous portion of his time to this work.
Mr. Fesperman recently conducted
a one-day "Come Clean Campaign” at
Hickory and Lincolnton. Eighty-four
boys at Hickory and forty-nine a;
Lincolnton signed the "Come Clean'
cards. The school commencement a*.
Statesville prevented the promotion
of this program at that place. At
Morganton, we secured a strong
speaker for a Fathers ^Meeting, and
several sex hygiene talks in the
school.
We will have the plan well worked
out by the opening of the next school
season, and we expect to be in full
swing early in September.”
Women Voters Are
Supporting Logan
We, the undersigned lady voters of
No. 9 would like to say a few words
for our present sheriff.
If anyone will go to the records they
will find there has been more stills
captured more cars confiscated, and
more rum runners convicted within
the last 5 years than ever before in
the history of the county.
Several years ago officers could go
to the mountains and capture three or
four stills in one day. Now they can
search all day and not find a single
still, Why? Because they are about
all gone.
We think Sheriff Logan and his
deputies have done more to wipe out
the liquor business than any past
sheriff has ever done. So if the moth
ers really want tq help enforce pro
hibition, they will make no mistake
by voting for Sheriff Logan.
