SCOTT ELLIOTT Dr. Wil Lou Gray anounces that the Opportunity School bill, introduced by the Education Committee, passed the General Assembly without a dissenting vote and has been signed by the governor. This means that the Opportunity School, “South Caro lina’s Second Chance School,” the only one of its kind in the nation, now enjoys the same legal status as other state institutions. It is the only residential school in the state which gives adults credit for education acquired through self-study and permits them to advance at their own speed. The Opportunity School can well be proud of its history dur ing its ten years of existence. In 1946 the Federal government granted permission for the Oppor tunity School to occupy the area of the former Air Base near Co lumbia. There the school opened on January 2, 1947, on the con dition that this property on which it was located be used by the school for a minimum of ten years. The Trade School which adjoins it was opened under the same condition. Now that the ten years are up, the property is being turned over to the State apd the school will be run by a Board of Trustees in the future. Dr. Wil Lou Gray, who founded the school and has pioneered it through the ten years will retire in the near future. The purpose of the school will be to provide year-round training for adults interested in continu ing their elementary or high school education or in taking re fresher courses preparatory to entering college, with emphasis upon personal development, voca tional efficiency and and effec tive citizenship. Night classes are provided for non-resident stud ents. The school cooperates with the rehabilitation department in providing basic general education and prevocational courses for the physically handicapped Steve Coppock and F. Scott Elliott, Jr., of Newberry are two of the students enrolled at the Opportunity School during the current year. Deed Transfers Newberry No. 1 Hazel W.

One was for baggage and express, $ one for mail, one a smoker, one for whites, and one for colored folks. Soon we got to Hilton. There I hung out of the window and talked with, a colored man I knew. That was no farther from home than White Rock. A few miles farther on we got to Cha pin. Our mail came from there. But it was 4 miles from home, and that was about as far up that way as I was familiar with. There we took on water and un loaded about a dozen sacks of ice insulated with sawdust. Leaving Chapin, I felt like an explorer for sure. Of course I -had been to the next station. Little Mountain, a time or two, but that was in company with my family on the first Fridays of August when the biggest event in the Fork took place, the Newberry College reunion- But now it was different. I was on my own. As we rolled into Little Mountain I saw the depot agent, Mr. Kess Derrick, a friend of my father’s. But I was too bashful to speak, and look ed the other way.

My father was the country doctor. He got passes for the family on the C- N. & L. Railway that runs from Columbia to Laurens. For me, that was a great adventure, 54 miles away. Few folks around home had ever been that far, and many thought my parents rather reckless to let me go off that way to a strange land by m • YOU KNOW YOU’RE WELL DRESSED . . when you year a SUIT from T.

Just above there he stopped and all of the men got out and helped the crew throw wood on the tender. Most trains stopped there, as there was plenty of rich lightwood in our section. The fireman liked that. Some of mine fell short; so they made me stop, and the men sdon had it piled high with rich wood. We took off, a mixed train, with about 6 box cars, a flat or two, and one passenger coach WHITAKER:! < * FUNERAL home !
