RECOGNITION OF MERIT.
Miss kirkpatrick Honored by Fellow Students
at the State Normal
Especial to News and Observer.

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro. ~ c., May 12.-The election
of marshals for the coming year at the
State Normal and Industrial College has
just been held.
The following young women have been
honored by their fellow students. The
chief marshal is Eunce Kirkpatrick, of
Mecklenburg.
Her aids from the Adelphian Society
are: Katherine Smith, of Surry; Anna
Ferguson, of Rockingham: Frances Wom-
BILE, of Wake; Annie Beaman, of Sampson
Birdie Mckinney, of Rockingham.
From the Comedian Society are: Manic
Hines, of Lenoir; Laura Sanford. of
Davie Ida Wharton. of Forsyth; Bertha
Sugg. of Greene; Lizzie Zoeler, of Edge
combe.
To be elected marshal is next in honor
to graduation. To be elected chief mar
shall is the highest gift in the power of
the student body.
A significant feature of last night s
election is the fact that this tribute is
paid TO a young woman who is working
her way through college. Miss Kirkpat-
rick was also recently elected to the
presidency of the Y. W. C. A. of the col
lege.
These facts go far to illustrate the
good work that is being done in this in,
stitution. That a young woman who needs
to work among her mates for her educa
ton should be so appreciated is a token
that bright day has dawned for the
women Of our State. A body of young
women who represent much of the gen.
tlest blood and culture of North Caro-
lima and who consider only merit and fit
ness for places of honor and trust is a
body who will be a power for good in
the coming years
