 CLUB AS SECRETARY
Old-FashiOned Spelling Match is Feature of SeS-
 sion

The Rotary clubs board of directors yesterday reelected as secretary A. G. Whidden of The Graphic, who has been entrusted with the place since the organization of the club in March IF, 1917. The action was approved by the club, when the selection was re- ported by President w. T Wool dridge.
 An old fashioned spelling match was Ia feature of the session, and another was the singing of Miss Ernestine Norris and Dolph Kastor, Sweet heart" and q Love You, Dear," in duet, and the piano solos of Miss AL ice Norris.
 That Rotarians are quick to accord honor was shown when the entire assemblage gave a rising welcome to A. c. Broyles, now with the Richard son-Miles company of Little Rock, selling Miller tires. MT. Boyles' achievement demonstrates once again that no youth-no matter how badly handicapped, so long as he has health and the right spirit-need want for an education. MT. Boyles was introduced 1 by Secretary Whidden as man who had displayed remarkable ambition, perseverance and determination in his successful efofrt' to acquire college education. A youth on a farm in the east Tennessee mountains, at IS years of age, Broyles, unable to read or I1I 1o% %o oy,V i,, this world man must be educated. He determined to obtain college train- ing, and though his way was difficult and sometimes the goal seemed far, indeed, the indominable will of the youth carried him through to success. He went through the grade and high
 schols in few years and through
 the university of Michigan in three years, cutting one year from the usual
 time, although frequently he worked
 half the night unloading coal cars in order to obtain money with which to purchase books, clothing and food. ]: In the spelling match between teams of 15 selected by Dr. J. I. Norris and H. K. Toney, respectively, was won by the Toney team, when the match had narrowed to one on each side-Whid. den for the Norris team and Gordon : Freeman for the Toney team.
