Templeman to Preach Baccalaureate Sermon

Weeksville, June 7—Dr. S.H. Templeman will deliver the baccalaureate address for the Weeksville High School here Sunday afternoon at 4:15. Rev. Vance Havner, pastor at Salem, and Rev. W.T. Phipps, pastor of Newbegun and Union church, will also participate in the services Sunday afternoon.

An operetta, “Down Among the Fairies”, will be presented Tuesday evening at 8:15 by the pupils of the first, second and third grades.

On Wednesday evening the fourth and fifth grades will render a Cantata, “Midsummer Eve.”

On Thursday night the declamation and recitation contest will be held and the Commence sermon will be delivered by Dr. Robert H. Write, president of East Carolina College at Greenville.

The Weeksville High School will be an accredited High School another year. Biology, Home Economics and Agriculture will probably be added to the high school courses offered.

There are six pupils this year in the junior class, and next year it is believed that at least that number will graduate.
