Since that time many schools over the nation have integrated but yet there are many who have not done so; such was the case in Farmville, Va. The schools of Farmville were ordered to integrate, but their Edu- cational Officials refused and instead, closed them. Fortunately, the Trustee Board of Kittrell College led by Bishop Frank Madison Reid, munificently offered each of the High School students a Scholarship which made a continued education possible for them. Magnificent appraisal by all Kittrellites exemplifies our thanks for their liberality. Peaches to those diligent students who took advantage of this opportunity; Onions to the Educational Officials of Farmville, Virginia who digressed from integration of schools. Fellow Kittrellites, Farmville Students, you who are now facing the problem, and those who will meet the challenge in future endeavorance, “the torch given by our Constitution and guaranteed by our United States Supreme Court, be yours to hold up high; if you break faith with those who died for the Cause; they shall not sleep though Spirits meek in yonder graves. —The Editor. p.
