Oxford Rotary Honors High School Grads Going on to College, Sept. 6, 1924

Oxford Rotary Host to Class. . . High School Graduates Are Guests of Club—Colonel Meekins to Speak

Oxford, Sept. 5—On Thursday evening the Oxford Rotary Club, according to their usual custom, entertained the boys of the 1924 graduating class of the Oxford high school. These boys are planning to leave within a few days to enter the respective colleges and universities of their choice and not only their mothers and fathers but all of the citizens of Oxford and Granville county are expecting them to make good. Judging by their past records and the make-up of each individual member of the class, their friends do not expect to be disappointed. Out of a class of 17 boys, 16 of them are going to college. This is a wonderful record. Supt. Credle reports that the 17th boy is planning to enter college later.

The following were invited to attend the luncheon: Will Mitchell, Edward Mitchell, Edward Hornar, John Williams, John Fuller, Robt. Bradsher, Sam Wrenn, Garland Hart, Henry Hunt, William Walters, Frank Smith, Matt Currin, Thos. Cannady, James Averett, Cam Easton, Parker Lee Taylor Osby Usry and Dick Taylor. Most of them were present.

Col. Fred A. Olds of Raleigh and Elliott Cooper of the National City Bank of New York City were guests of the club. Elliott, who is an Oxford boy, is making good and his friends are always glad to welcome him back home. Col. Olds, who knows more people than any man in North Carolina, is a member of the Raleigh Rotary Club. The colonel visits Oxford frequently and is always welcome. His talk is constructive and if plans do not fail, some of his suggestions will soon materialize.
