Mangum Items
Mr. Davis Haywood
went to Charlotte Monday to have his tonsils removed.
Mr. and Mrs. H.H.
Chandler and family spent Sunday with relatives near Mt. Gilead.
Miss Lillie
Matheson returned Sunday form Ansonville after a week’s visit there.
Mrs. N.B. Stutts of
Mt. Gilead spent the week-end with her son, Mr. John Stutts.
Rev. Mr. Stork of
Mt. Gilead was a pleasant visitor to the school Thursday. He conducted chapel
exercises, which was enjoyed by the entire student body and faculty.
The Literary
Society gave a very interesting program on Wednesday afternoon. The most important number was a debate:
Resolved, that the right of suffrage should be extended to women. The
affirmative was represented by Lee Johnson, Fred Jarrell and Archie Ballard,
the negative by J.N. Currie, Ernest Dennis and Homer Lisk.
The box supper
given at the Mangum Hill School on Friday evening proved to be a success, both
from a social and financial standpoint. A “fishing pond” added much to the
enjoyment of the evening. The boxes were very attractive looking and their contents proved to be a delight to
the purchasers. Mr. Frank Andrews of Mt. Gilead was auctioneer and showed
himself an expert in the art of selling. About $50 was cleared.
One of the most
enjoyable social events of the season was a “Washington party” given on
Saturday evening by Mr. and Mrs. T.B. Andrews, in honor of their house-guests,
Misses Mattie Lee Johnston of Clarkton and Harold Russell of New London. The
decorations in the reception hall were ferns, long leaf pine and daffodils. In
the parlor the color scheme was in the National colors, with a background of
ferns. A portrait of the Father of his Country, draped with flags, occupied the
most important point, while red and blue hatchets on a background of white
further added to the patriotic aspect. The evening was one of rare enjoyment.
Games were played, interspersed with music from the Edison. A much enjoyed
contest was to form the largest number of words from the letters “George
Washington.” The lucky contestants were Miss Mamie Currie and Ralph
Misenheimber, who were presented with a U.S. flag. Partners were found by
matching rhymes. Another contest was a romance, missing words to be supplied
from the abbreviations of States. The winners in this were Miss Lena Harris and
Alexander Smith, who were awarded a box of candy. The consolation prize, a
Washington hatchet, went to Miss Josie Chandler and Jack Currie. A delicious
salad course with cake was served by Mrs. Andrews and Miss Kate Johnson.
Hoffman News
On Wednesday
evening of last week the school gave a patriotic program celebrating the
birthdays of Lincoln, Washington, and Longfellow. The stage was beautifully
decorated with long leaf pine, the national colors and the pictures of these
men. The program consisted of patriotic pageant, plays, recitations and songs.
A large crowd was present to enjoy the exercises by the children.
Gibson evened up with
Hoffman by defeating us here the 21st with a score of 13 to 8. The
girls also played and lost to the visitors by two points.
