One OF the most popular at
fractions at the Halloween par
ties of the various schools, spon-
sored by their parent teacher
associations, Friday evening,
were the home made cakes do
mated by the P. T. A. mothers.
The parents, teachers and chill
dren receiving them as prizes
for cakewalks and other contest
were happy recepiants.
A little newcomer to the COM
munity and schools, was thrilled
as with Santa on Christmas,
when she was found standing on
the lucky number IN the cake
walk and was presented with a
big white coconut covered cho-
colate cake.
We noticed too, how delighted
a local teacher was when she
won a candy-covered spice cake.
The homemade candy was very
popular too. Judd Ready was
seen at the Clara Hearne party
looking it over in his ph!loso-
phical fiveyear old manner.
Miss Clara Hearne, a former
teacher of the local schools and
much loved and admired by
everyone, is a visitor here for
few days with Mrs. ]. E.
Suffer, Mrs. j. F. May and Mrs.
D. L. Wheeler, and is trying to
see as many of her friends as
she can before leaving the latter
part of the week to return to
her home in Pittsboro, near
Chapel Hill.
Having taught in the Roanoke
Rapids schools for thirty years
she no doubt greatly influenced
the lives OF many people in the
entire community.
While we were talking with
Miss Hearne she remarked"The
progress Roanoke Rapids has
made in school, streets, news
paper, and city recreation along
with other things, makes me
think came to Roanoke Rap
ids forty years too soon. l
