NO. / SCHOOL

Our school has just closed and we,
the pupils, are most proud of the splen-
did record we have made.
Every boy and girl is proud of Mr..
Earl and Mr. Clyde Smith, our teach
ers, and we can say that we have had
two of the best teachers in Randolph
county. Mr. Earl has been with us
five terms in succession. During that
time his conduct has been such that we
have learned to love and honor him.
We, the pupils, will ever strive to be
an honor to him, which we know we
can do II we follow his teachings Mr..
Clyde Smith has been with us twelve
months and during that time his work
has been so efficient and his conduct
such that he has not only won the re-
spect of the lower grades but the ad-
vanced as well. Mr.. Smiths ability
as an organizer and director of school
activities has brought to us some
honOrs which we are proud of. We
shall try to hold the ground he has
left in our possession.
RichwOOds school is to be cOmpli-
mented in securing these efficient teach
ers for the next nine months. They
will leave for JonesborO College at an
early date where they will receive
more training in the educational world.
We bid them God speed and trust that
they may press onward in their noble
work.

a new high. Hudson and Manhattan
