Graduation news must include
our own Pastor, William B.
Shealey, who this week, Tues
day, was graduated with his
D. D. from Andover- Theological
Seminary. Shiloh has set aside
next Sunday for volunteer con-
tributions to the Shiloh Summer
Camp Fund to send a boy and a
girl to a healthy vacation resort
this year. Deacon Paul Byrd, an
old camper himself, well famil-
lar with the benefits Of physical
as well as spiritual development,
was the first to contribute to this
fund some weeks ago. We have
been called upon often to con-
tribute to projects affecting 9TH
er people. Now here is a chance
to give a bit of charity right
here at home and we know all
readers will boost the Fund Sun
day. Who knows, it may be your
boy and girl who will benefit
this year or other years. For this
project is going to be annual.
Lets give it a good start this
year and show our youth the
Church is really behind them.
The Medford H. S. Graduates
last week at Cousins Gym, Tufts
College, included Michael Snow
don, lone Digger, Horace Works,
Lena Bryant, Miriam Neal, and
Virginia Wilson. We regret that
young Snowdon's first name was
all scrambled up here last week.
Miss Digger led her class with
an all "A report card, final quar-
ter and AS for the year. except
one B-plus. She was class histor-
ian and an editor Of the Year
Book and was chosen to sing at
the Glass Day, receiving a fine
response. Due to enter Jackson
next fall, lone is the sixth and
last member of the Digger girls
and boys to graduate from MHS
and enter college which must be
some kind Of scholastic record
we Of Medford may well be
proud Of. And here's a salute
to Mrs. Digger, the energetic
widow Of the late Colonel, who
not only believes in education
but has symbolized her belief in
her six children. Fathers Day
will be observed this Sunday by
the Dukes Club with a tea and
special Fathers Day program at
the Community Center. SO when
you see the fathers strolling
down that way near the quiet
Mystic tomorrow don't think
they are going fishing or to play
baseball. Yet to tell the truth,
that's how it all may end up,
since fathers can do just about
what they please and many Of
the Dukes are rabid ball fans. SO
it'll probably end up in a Mar
ried Man VS.. Single Man ball
game with all hands taking part.
The Medford H. S. Concert Band
under Ralph I. Schoonmaker is
presenting a series of concerts
this Saturday night and also
Sunday night, $50 p m at the
Hatch Memorial Shell, on the
beautiful Charles Esplanade. Mr..
schoonmaker is a great booster
of colored musical talent and
he will undoubtedly have many
colored in the audience to hear
his Band. Mrs. Josephine Alves
has returned from an enjoyable
9 days visit with friends in the
Convention city Of Philadelphia,
soon to be ablaze with presiden-
tial candidates. Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel Taylor OF Brooklyn Wis
tied relatives here over the hol-
iday. And during the Medford
Memorial exercises we were
proud to see Mrs. Bowling still
carrying on with the Legion la
dies as she has for years
Thanked by two white women.
Mrs. Bowling helped decorate
the veterans graves in a demo-
cratic picture that always makes
US proud. That fine looking
colored chap marching with
Medford Post IS was excl. Err
nest Maxwell who I believe is the
only colored member Of the local
post. There ought to be more.
