% VOL. XIV?NO. 24 Prof. Finley V Master Close PRINCIPAL OF HIGH .SCHOOL AT CHESTER, S. C. By \V. R. Bowman Chester, June 12th?Hundieds of people from Chester and Chen- J ter county turned out in large L.. 'J UL 1 i iiuiiiuvio vu cue ottii annual cum-I mencement of Finley high school | to witness the graduation and to' give honor and esteem to theJ efficient principal., Prof. Sam Louis Finley, who has served town and community 34 consec. tive years. The patrons. and friends of Chester gave him a ?. ' PROF. S. L. FINLEY who completed his J34th year 'as ptincipal of Finley High school in Cheste.r Most gratifying recordr great ovation and many took de^ light in telling of his worth and work in Chester. Scores of white friends couldn't refiain in joining with the colored citizens in attests his greatness irrespective of racial group. To prove our statement and show the reading public that this t-. correspondent is not exaggerating' we quote from the Chester Reporter, a white paper published in Chester. Here is what it says editorially in its June the fifth issue: "Few men, ?1o matter in what I sphere they serve, are priviliged j to hold one position thirty-four v years?one third of a century? and when they do it is always an indication of the fact that they t have wrought exceedingly well. This is particularly true ?f Prof. vt- Finley, who has seen the colored' public schools orf Chester grow from an insignificant beginning to their present ranking and positir.n r\f iniiiini'tiinpp T,iWr? Ortfi vius Caesar who found Rome built of bi ick and left it built of marble. It is meet, therefore at this time to call attention in this way L_ .. to the work .and character of one who has served so efficiently and so worthily",?tt The editorial continued and said ? further that Prof. ? Finlcy was born five miles south west of hatrrerts at Maddens.?ttis parents were Berry and Amanda who were t Christians but unlettered. His interest in education was observed by his parents and others at an early age which led him to Benedict college where he spent ten years in study, graduating in 1905 with the A.B. degree. ^ He helped his parents to finance his school bills by doing odd jobs and just before he graduated he took the ^ tlerk-ca: rier Civil Service examination and out of a class of 36 persons, majority being white, he mane tne nignesi purcuuuiKe uui of the six that passed gnd was promptly appointed clerk in Columbia post office. He graduated with two, and his only classmate 18 atill?teaching in Benedict college. He was called to the principalship of the local school here in *90C. In the summer of 1906 he ?r>irried Miss Celeste I). Mi)on of Richmond, Va. To this union two , children were born, one boy and one .Trl. His son, is named after him is now the Music Director of Benedict college, his alma mater. He has his master degree in Music from Columbia university. When Prof. Kinley took charge of this school in 1905 there were four grades and an enrollment <yf 253 and four teachers; but last week commencement closes, with a faculty of 23 teachers and an enroll^ ment of 906. The name of the school was given by a Yote of the Trustee Board unsolicited and unknown beforehand by the principal. The Finley High school is widely kntrwn srrrd - - * ? * i i-? mi L 1 respected Dy educators, i nis scnooi is accredited by South Carolina State Board of Education and its graduates receive State High School diplomas. It is also a member of the Southern Association c/f Colleges and Secondary schools. On the account of the multiple of news matter here in our office, v we regret very much that w0 havq not space to quote all the editorial as it appeared in the Chester Reporter, but Superintendent M.E. Brockman, of the Chester gffr eteran School s 34th Year schools said in the same tissue: "I have known P?:ncipal Finley since 1'JiU) ami th< ' us not been the slightest h ?y '<1 feeling between the think its largely due -ST'Ov tine leacrship of SaniU' ' Finley. Me said furt' ^ ^ ig all these years ol co a him, 1 have, found l ,tT- a man, sincere Christian ^ .in of the highest order, jws how to meet his white ds and he knows how tc the good will of the white .eople of his community for the | people interested in the clored people, lie has always counselled wisely 011 any matters that initrht "cause inter-racial friction. He has liscn high in the Palmetto Teachers' Associatio'n of colored teachers. He has also risen ii ihe traternal orders of his statL. and is one of the lending men in his church in carrying on the church woik in his community. People^ of Chester owe much to the?wise?aud?suu,.?leadership ol this good man and 1 am glad to add this word of commendation for him while he lives with us'V The above editorials and the . statements-from Supt. U rock-man covered the ground and has proven When a person does a worthy job ajid does it better than the ordinary, regardless of what field it's in, the Southern Press wi'l . ive him honor for the same. Those of us who have,, known Prof. Kinley admit he Is one ol ihe best .educators in tile souilr Dr. Pinley has dug deep in the art of science. He is an experii enced teacher, a coinjnunity builder, a fearless wor ker, a deep think t?r and weighs matters before a dt ision is nuuje. Hu_is a supp i ter of Negro and white enterprises. He has courage and conviction of his own and can take care of himself and the thing he fepresents in any deliberate body. This reporter fuither* understands he puts nothing ahead of his church and is found at his church or some religious meeting every Sunday. He does his best C v v.111 i>~ iidii uuvi.vi.i *?u mrr faculty and docs his .best to make them attend some church each Sunday. Ilis character is above reproach. The power behind his greatness is his beloved wife who has guided him these thirty-four years. When the storms were high, she pleaded with him to try (} d and wait 011 him- and t(>- her and her alone account for his pbenominal success. The "Leader" -wishes to go on record with Mr. Finley's ojhei friends to congratulate him and hope he will be in Chester, 3-i more years. . The i^'egro history of South Carolina would bP incomplete -without the name and work of Prpf, Samuel Louis Finley. " HATLSHL ItU N I IWS Tlio M L1M > V Snci'H' v nf St [.James C. M.
