Since there will be a State Teachers' convention Friday, we won’t have to go to school tomor row. That is very encouraging. It Just thrills me to think that in about four days the class of 1961 will be on their way to Wash ington, D. C. I can hardly wait. I hope the seniors have good snacks packed to eat on the train Sunday night. We will eat break fast in Richmond, Va. Can you guess what I heard about those “Northern breakfasts’’? Well, HI Just tell you. Somewhere up north they serve potatoes for breakfast! Maybe it won’t hurt’to try it out (if that’s all they have to eat, I guess I’ll eat it). At one of ur recent senior class meeting*, we voted Wayne Mor gan class historian. Nancy Neigh bors was elected as class poet Serving as class prophet will be Marvin Sanders, while Lonnie Parnell will act as class lawyer. These four seniors will take part in the class day program May 33. Recently the Juniors at Clinton High took the National Merit Scholastic Qualifying Test. From what I have heard, I gather that the test this year was Just about as hard as it was when I took it last year. I didn’t tell you which teachers will go to Washington with us seniors, did I?

Carr, of Joanna, purchased a 1900 Dodge automobile from the defendant (Cooper Motors, Inc.) on January 3, 1909, and that the automobile was returned to the defendant’s garage several times for repairs. The complaint stated that the plaintiff, Mrs. Buchanan, used the automobile on March 4, 1909, to drive from Joanna to Greens boro, N. C. ,and that she started on the return trip March 7, ac companied by her 10-year-old daughter. The complaint said she had traveled about 30 miles on U.

Is Active, Ask Tbs Laurens County Mental Health Association is the official name of a group of cltixens volun tarily organised through a com mon concern for those who are mentally ill and a desire to pro mote mental health. When the in cidence of mental Illness is sidered within the county, there are very few families who do not have some contact with the prob lems cither directly or indirectly. However, in spite of the frequency of the problem there is much misunderstanding abo illness. Many people do not real ise that mental illness can be cured in the majority of cases. Some are still bound to ancient ideas and superstitions about those who have had ‘nervous breakdowns.’ Many people, per haps, do not realize that mental illness can be diagnosed In its early stages and with proper treatment prevented. Others do not realize that good mental health does not always come nat urally but must be fostered Just as physical health must be. In the area of education alone it is apparent that much must be done and this Is Just one of the tasks of the Mental Health Association. It is vital to the success of the Mental Health program that per sons who are sincerely interested in this problem volunteer to help, No special talant is required, no special training, is necessary. The important thing is an honest de sire to help. , Within the next few weeks the local association will be forming committees to carry on its pro gram during the year.

Burial waa In Roaemont PC Temb Team Opens Here Tuesday Presbyterian College netmen will open their home tennis sea son next Tuesday afternoon with the first engagement of a two- match series against the Uni versity of Minnesota. The two teams are scheduled to square off for the second clash on Wednesday afternoon. Presbyterian's Blue Hose ^ coached for the 12th year by Jim Leighton and paced this season by sophomore Tony Wilson of Scarsdale, N. Y. — swung into 1961 tennis action this week with a four-match Florida tour. La test reports at press-time showed a 5-1 loss to the University of Florida on Monday, followed by a narrow 54 defeat at the hands of Rollins. Coach Leighton admittedly has a somewhat weaker squad than the ’00 outfit which won 15 out of 30 matches played. That re sults primarily from the loss of Harry Hoffman to graduation. It was an otherwise youthful team last year, however, and those returning are more ex perienced now and much im proved over the previous season. They include seven lettermen. Tony Wilson, smooth-stroking and aggressive sophomore sty list, is the key man at number one singles. Tom Elliott of St. Petersburg, Fla.—a steady, shot- maker type of player who special izes in angle shots — currently strokes In the number two posi tion. And together, these two form a fine doubles combination. Creighton Frampton, Jr., of Charleston, and Ed Caviness, of Goldsboro, N. C., are steady Juniors, greatly improved and more aggressive than last year, whom Coach Leighton expects to win their share of singles en gagements during the campaign. As a doubles team, they caught fire toward the close of last year, became imbued with a winning complex and grabbed the decid ing match against Duke. Dave Greenslade of Smith’s Parish, Bermuda, is another tal ented Junior with plenty of com petitive experience, but he was not able to make the Florida trip. This means the Blue Hose call heavily upon the less-season ed but improving Harold Hope of Union and Bill Stone of Hender son, N. C. IF TOO DOmr READ TOO DON'T GET THE NEWS HERE FROM NORFOLK . .
