Newsom was mayor ol' the city of Durham for nearly four years prior to 1921. lVhen the big bond issue was plan- ned, he was foremost among those who car- rieil the measure through the preliminary steps and then through the special election. He has always been an enthusiastic advo- cate for progress in Durham in every right direction, It meant a great deal to the success of the plans to have in the mayor of the city an earnest faithful friend, who gave generously of his time, thought and influence in furthering the interests of the school. M R. .l ONES Fl.'l,Lli R Qllr. Jones Fuller became a member of the school board in 1915 and served until 1921. During the last three years of his tel m he was chairman of the board. These were the years when the plans for the school development of the recent past were formulated and carried to a point of as- sured,completion. Mr, Fuller was chair- man of the special committee which chose the building site for the new high school. We here pay tribute to his high personal qualities and to his well-known ability which he has always placed at the service of our city. Prrfn' ,Yinw

, ,mr , l 9 2 2 MESSENGER -, if-1 ,!l, V YffYWVA c nt'1:H.u11-nunsonooL me' -f gd:-'g ICIJWIN D. PVSEY, .-LM. l..l,.ID. Mr. Pusey became Superintendent of Dur- ham City Schools in 1914. During the eight years of his incumbency our schools have made tremendous advances. The daily attendance has increased 5H',,, the number of teachers 7554, the value of the school plant has quadrupled, as has the amount of money spent on public school education. The high school enrollment has advanced from 397 to 675. Naturally we do not claim that our Superintendent is the man who has made Durham grow, but we are glad that our school development has been guided by a man as clear sighted, energetic and capable as Superintendent Pusey. hilt. WILLIAM H. ROGERS Mr. Rogers' record of devoted and intel- ligent service in the cause of public educa- tion is one that is seldom equalled. He was a member of the tirst school board that Durham had, serving continuously and ac- tively from 1882 until April 1921 when he became an honorary member of the board. Since that date. Mr. Rogers has passed on to his reward, but the pleasant memories of a capable, kindly Christian gentleman will stay with us for many years. His part in helping establish our school system in the early years when difficulties were many is a monument to his name that is endur- ing. Puyr' lffylll
