To the one who has willingly served us well we dedicate this portion of the Dillardite to Mr. E. A. House. Mr. E. A. House was born in Asheville, North Carolina, December 25, 1908. He attended and graduated from Stephens Lee High School, University, Charlotte, North Carolina where he received his B.S. degree and received his Masters degree from the University of Conn. Mr. House began his educational duties at E.E. Smith High School of Kenansville, North Carolina. He served for eleven years as principal of Dudley Elementary School. In 1944 Mr. House came to Goldsboro and served as Coach and assist- ant principal at Dillard High School and later became Health and Physical Education Co-ordinator and his last position was that of Super- visor of instructions for the Goldsboro City Schools. His participation in the many civic activities of Goldsboro and the state were most outstand- ing. He served as Secretary of the North Carolina Athletic Association for a number of years. It was indeed inspiring to have had Mr. House serve his community, state, and nation in civic, religious and educational affairs. 6
