The pupils of the colored Pasquotank County schools will hold their final commencement exercises Friday, May 1, at the State Normal School. An interesting program in which Mrs. A.W. Holland, state Superior of Colored elementary schools, will appear as principal speaker is arranged. Prizes will be awarded the winners in declamation, spelling, athletic and other contests, and for the best kept schoolhouse and grounds in the county.
The exercises will be under the direction of Miss Telia Faulk, Jeannees supervisor at the State Normal and will start with a parade from Cornerstone Baptist Church at 10 o’clock led by the Cosmopolitan Band. It will proceed down Road Street and to the State Normal via Poorhouse Road. Two thousand people are expected to attend.
