13 Graduate Roxboro Graded Schools, June 3, 1925

Commencement Roxboro Graded Schools

The Commencement exercises of the Roxboro Graded Schools came to a close Monday night with the presentation of various medals, diplomas, etc. The address was delivered by Hon. H.G. Conner Jr. of Wilson.

The following winners of medals were announced:

The Edgar Long Scholarship Medal was won by Miss Roxannah Burch Yancey. The prize in Music Appreciation was won by Miss Janie Gilbert Burns, while the Woman’s Club Loving Cup was won by Charles Barnette Wood.

Those receiving diplomas were:

Emma Louise Hall

Oscar Coleman Hull

Frances Rachel Long

Mildred Winstead Long

Curtis Hill Oakley

Alice Catherine Oliver

Helen Floyd Stanfield

Baxter Francis Wade

Probably considering the handicap under which the school has labored, this has been one of the most successful years, and Prof. Stalvey and his able corps of teachers deserve and have the hearty good wishes of the entire community.

The new high school building will be in readiness for the opening of the fall term and all predict great things for school life in Roxboro. Every necessary requirement is hoped to be met and all are looking forward to the time when the Roxboro Graded Schools, that is the High School department, will be indeed and in truth an A1 school. To this end all in sympathy with school work have labored for these many years and are now delighted to see its near fruition.
