School Principal
Cracks Town On
Student Drivinq

An attempt to curb the parking
problem and minimize the traffic
hazard at the local school was
made today when c. II. Primer,
principal of the Tabor City School,
urged all parents 10 avoid letting
the students drive the family car
to school unless il was absolutely
necessary.
IF the student must drive the
car in order TO get to and from
school then we are asking that the
parents write a letter to that ef-
feet said Primer. I'VE all COT
attempting to work any hardship
on any of the students-we are
merely trying to eliminate the
congested parking problem and
minor discrepancies"
The school director noted that
students have been detected leav-
ing the school grounds in cars dur
ing the day.
The practice of some who are
leaving school without permission
will not be toleratcd-if the par
cntS will cooperate in keeping the
family car at home the problem
VIII be allcviated,' said Primer.

Rogers Selected To Play
In East-West All Star Game

Another honor was bestowed to-
day upon member of the victor
iouS 1858 Red Devil football squad
when Tommy Rogers became the
first Tabor City football player
ever to receive an invitation to
the East-WeSt All Star tilt slated
for August l3 in Greensboro.
The outstanding Red Devil
guard was selected on the Eastern
squad by committee of coaches
that included j. V. Pruitt, Hamlet
football coach and head mentor
of the Eastern All Stars. Pruit be-
came well acquainted with Rogers
ability when the Red Devils en-
countered the Hamlet Rams on
Civilian Field this past season.
Rogers was the shining star of the
game as he stopped the Rams
highly touted Jerry Simms with
Earring tackles. The Red Devils
dropped the tilt by 20-18 margin:
however, the defensive star of
the contest was the lad selected to
participate in the summer All star
event.
Tommy, II year-old senior,
will be the second gridder to rep
resent Columbus County in as
many years. Last year, John Len
non of Whiteviile's Wolfpack.
played on the Eastern team.
This honor marks the second
bestowed upon Tommy for the
past seasons accomplishments. He
was named on both units of the
All Columbus team selected by
Jlggs Powers, sports editor of the
Whitevillc News-Reporter.
The likeable youngster also stars
on the Red Devil basketball ttam
where he has proved the outstand-
ing team player. Although he sell
dom gamers many baskets he
leads in assists and is the most
consistent floor man on the squad.
Tommy will follow what is more
or less a family tradition when he
graduates this Spring. He plans to
enroll at Wake Forest next Fall.
He is following in the steps of
$50 A'' "a ItOSSIS lnTee
brothers, all of whom received
their education at the Baptist
School.
There is another Tom Rogers at
Wake Forest who will undoubtedly
be quite happy to see Tabor Citys
Tommy since they both have
something in common. One is the
Red Devil football star-the other
Is the head football coach at Wake
Forest.
Tommy'S personality, scholastic
standing, and athletic prowess
make him an outstanding candi-
date for one Big Four School and
you can bet he will continue his
football achievements. He is lust
now getting into the limelight but
his love for competition as well as
football makes him one of Tabor
Clty's most qualified representa-
tives.

so urged members to live in true
simplicity, free from sclfseeking

MIR. Edwards suggested using
the mistakes of yesterday as step
ping stones to great achievements
and quoted
I've shut the door on yesterday;
It's sorrows and mistakes,
I've locked within it's gloomy walls
past failures and heartaches:
And now I've thrown the key
away,
To seek another room,
And furnish it with hope and
smiles
And every springtime bloom,
No thought shall enter this abode.
That has a hint of PAIN.
And every malice and distrus.
Shall never therein reign.
I've shut the door on yesterday
And thrown the key away:
tomorrow holds no doubt for me
Since | have found today"
In conclusion nc challenged the
new Officers to enter duties with
