The Aycock Literary Society met for the last time Thursday, April 22nd, 1926. The meeting was called in order by President Ambros Hendricks. This meeting was the purpose of giving the Seniors a chance to make their farewell speeches.
The boys expressed their feelings and sorrows, and the wish that they could spend several more years in the society work and Cherryville High School. They expressed the wish and hope that the society may, in the years to come, continue its useful work and purpose, and be a help and an inspiration to everyone.
The Senor boys this year are: William Brown, Perry Carpenter, Louie Dellinger, Tew Dellinger, David Farris, Blake Ford, Ambros Hendricks, Kelly Huss, Carl Helms, Osborne Hill, Cary Kendrick, Dewey Melton, Pratt Quinn, Edwin Rudisill, Eugene Sipe, and Floyd Sipe.
To some of these boys their school days are over, while the rest will enter colleges and other institutions to prepare themselves better for life’s rugged road. But regardless of wherever they may go or whatever they may choose to do, may they by the help of God and His guiding Hand be successful in life’s journey.
We had nice encouraging speeches from Coach Brown and Mr. Huss. Prof. Nixon thanked the boys for their splendid support in the society and loyalty to their teachers and school.
The following officers were elected for the next year.
Boyce Short was elected President over Russell Boggs by a vote of 33 to 19.
Floyd Dellinger was elected Vice-president over Robert Beam by a vote of 31 to 24.
Lewis McCurry was elected Sec.-Treas. Over S.S. Harrelson by a vote of 35 to 21.
These officers in their speeches thanked the society for the honor bestowed upon them, and hoped that the society next year would still be more successful than this year, and offered some encouraging words to the departing Seniors.
The Society closes its most successful year in the history of Literary work in the Cherryville High School.
Au revoir,
ALVIN DELLINGER, Reporter
