Mumps Keeps W.H. Starnes, 19, from Sunday School, Jan. 12, 1926

Duke Student Breaks Fine Record

Durham, N.C., Jan. 11 (AP)—A perfect record for attendance at Sunday School for the past 17 years was broken for W.H. Starnes,19, of Asheville, a member of the freshman class of Duke University. Disease in the form of mumps forced him to remain in his room last Sunday for the first time since he was two years old.
