Prof. E. Wade Cranford Goes to Star School

Star, May 25—At a meeting of the board of Trustees of the Star High School here on last night Professor E. Wade Cranford was elected Superintendent to succeed Professor Kizer who resigned at the end of the school year.

The Star School is the second largest High School in Montgomery county, being second only to Tryon in numbers and if present arrangements materialize it is expected that Star will have the largest enrollment next year of any school in the county.

Professor Cranford is a Montgomery Couty man, having been born and reared in Montgomery County. He is an honor graduate of Trinity College, now Duke University, and is one of the outstanding school men in this section of the state. He has taught for the last two years in the Eldorado Consolidated schools and is well known and liked by Montgomery county people.

He is a brother of Dr. W.I. Cranford formerly Dean of Duke University, who now holds the chair of Philosophy in that institution.
