RUTH BLACKWELL Fifteen Rahs for Mrs. Blackwell Truly, we are deeply indebted to this fine teacher, and yet we feel words are inadequate to express our sincerest appreciation for all she has meant to us. Wherever she is found, she is capable, con- scientious, and understanding. Not only is she a most efficient secretary in Mr. Regan's office, but in the classroom, she has provided valuable training and instruc- tion for us in that particular field. No one has ever given more time, interest, and devotion to the work with the cheer leaders, and we know that through her efforts many scores have been made, which otherwise would have been lost, for encouragement goes a long way toward the winning. Mrs. Blackwell, on behalf of the staff and every student, we would say Thank you for everything.

Hartsell, Jr., P.G.M., at Exercises Commemorating One Hundred Years of Masonic Philanthropy. Oxford Orphanage, June 24, 1955. During the era between the unique Masonic persecution and the War Be- tween the States, the Masonic Frater- nity turned its attention to worthy phi- lanthropy. Similar to several of the Southern States, North Carolina built a Masonic College. The movement for the promotion of a Masonic College was begun in 1838, when Brother David W. Stone introduced a set of resolutions to the Grand Lodge to establish a Masonic Seminary for the education of children attached to our Fraternity. This resulted in an expres- sion without concrete action. During the meeting of Grand Lodge in 1842, a resolution was introduced by Brother T. L. Lemay, That the Grand Lodge should enter some great benevo- lent enterprise, and provide for the establishment of a committee to study and report plans for the establishment of a Charity School. Each year the consideration of a Sem- inary of Learning consumed its share of the attention of the Grand Lodge. Many plans, ideas and projects were at- tempted during these years until the fast growth of Masonic Lodges around 1851. The name Saint John's College was decided upon, and Oxford was chos- en as the location, because of the gene- rosity of Tuscarora Lodge No. 122. In 1853 E. H. Hicks deeded to the Trustees of St. John's College, a tract of land containing 109 acres for the price of S4,480. In 1855 the Trustees awarded to John Berry the contract for the brick work on the building at 5511,- 106.00, and to J. N. Holt the contract for the wood work at S11,394.00, a total cost of S22,500.00. On June 24, 1855, the cornerstone was laid with Masonic Grand Honors by Most Worshipful Brother Clement H. Jordan, of Roxboro. The Reverend Brother Le- onidas L. Smith, of Warrenton, was the Orator for the day. The Trustees re- ported to the Grand Lodge in 1857 that the building had been completed with 513,000.00 debt. The doors of the college were opened July 13, 1858, with Professor Ashbel G. Brown in charge, and Mr. James Camp- bell as assistant. The institution was for male students only, but the school did not prosper. Two years later Thos. C. Tuley attempted to carry on the work, with Joseph Venable as assistant. They, also, failed to operate the college on a profitable basis. The civil strife between the North and the South caused the suspension of many of our Southern Schools. Saint John's College suspended operations at the be- ginning of the War. At the close of the War Between the States, John H. Mills made arrangements to remove the Female School he was conducting, into the college building. The school failed. Mr. Mills was followed by the Reverend J. H. Phillips, who was succeeded by the Reverend C. B. Rid- dick. The session of schools ended in 1871, each attempt resulting in failure. During these years of reconstruction, when it seemed impossible to reestablish a school in the Saint John's College Building, the Grand Lodge sought means of disposal of the property, and by the 1872 session of the G-rand Lodge the paramount question was: What shall be done with St. John's College? One resolution was introduced that the prop- erty be soldg but a substitute motion by John H. Mills, that The St. John's Col- lege be made into an Asylum for the protection, training and education of in- digent orphan children. The substitute motion finally prevailed and Brother John H. Mills was elected Superintend- ent. The Grand Lodge appropriated S500 and the Orphanage was born. February 13, 1873, an old battered wagon drove up to the front of the St. John's College Building, and Brother Mills received into his arms: Robert L. and Nancy Parrish, and Isabella Robert- son, Granville County. From a little acorn a great oak tree does grow. The ideal of Masonic Char- ity, struggling for thirty-five years to take root, sprang up in the life of Ox- ford Orphanage. We can look around us to see the physical results of 100 years of Masonic Philanthropy, but we must view the entire world to know the spir- itual power of this Masonic Love, that has been engendered into the lives of thousands of boys and girls, who, hav- ing lived beneath the oaks in Oxford Or- phanage, are infusing the world with their interpretation of Masonic Love.

We are deeply grateful to sincere devotion to our Home and school, and his untiring efforts in our behalf, whether it be in the class- room, on the campus, or on the athletic field. Not only did he have to begin with the inexperienced in football, but even the more inexperienced in basketball for this sport had its real begin- ning this year. It has been his purpose to instill in us the qualities that help to make a strong foundation for good sportsmanship and fair play. He and Mrs. Thompson, and little son, have won the love and admiration of all on the campus, and it is with a feeling of regret that we see them leave our midstg however, we do extend to Mr. Thompson our very best wishes for a happy and most successful year in his newly accepted position in the Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem. They will find plenty of friends, but they must not forget that their Oxford Orphanage friends will eagerly look forward to their return. To a wonderful family-May the best be yours!

Their goal-The Concert! In the first year we were a little inexperienced at singing, but clad in the robes of Freshmen, We started on our long journey. Feeling our need for leaders and guides we had Dorothy Regan as our president, Helen Alford as our vice-president, James Strum, secretary, and Hazel Strum was treasurer. To help us understand the mysteries of the voice during our first year, we had the faithful guidance of our Principal, Mr. E. T. Regan. Also there to help us obtain our goal were .our conductors. They were Miss Louise Pender, English, Mr. M. G. Talton, Jr., algebra, Mr. M. L. Austell, gen- eral science, and our homeroom teacher, Mr. T. B. Currin, civics. Mr. Austell and Mr. Talton did' double duty that year by coaching the boys on the football and baseball fields. We were represented by Wilton Smith on the football squad. While the boys were interested in these games, the girls took a fancy to basketball. The girls were fortunate to have five girls on the Champion Basketball Team, under the guidance of Mr. Roy P. Marsh. They were Barbara Kifer, Frances Hildebran, Peggy Blanchard, Janie Harrison, and Rosalee Ates. This year Dorothy Regan was treasurer of the Student Council and James Strum was representative from our ninth grade. Dorothy was also treasurer of the G. B. Summers Club. We hit the spot-light again when Dorothy Won the Oxford Orphan- age Medal in the Girl's Recitatiorpflontest. Her poster was also the Winner in the Fire Prevention Contest. Frances Hildebran represented our class on the cheerleading squad. There were other things of interest in this first year. The Glee Clu-b offered musical training for our members under the capable guidance of Miss Dorothy Parham. Finally, we found ourselves at the end of the first year, when thirty- five were qualified for additional training. During our Sophomore year Mr. Talton, who was our home room teacher, taught us algebra. Also conducting us were Mr. M. L. Austell, who taught biology, While Mrs. Maurice Adams offered us English, and Mrs. Ligon, Latin. Our class officers Who were to lead us this year were Dorothy Reglan, president, Helen Alford, vice-president, Janie Harrison, secretary, and Rosalee Ates, treasurer.

Honor is really attached to being selected a marshal for this choice is based on highest scholarship. Our commencement marshals were Dorothy Regan, chief 5 Wilton Smith, Janie Harrison, James Strum, and Rosalee Ates. Then twenty-three decided to finish their training. We really had some- thing to look forward to this year, because we were Seniors. We had almost reached our goal. We would soon be ready to perform. There to help us find our way was Mrs. Ligon, who was our homeroom teacher. She taught us English. Mr. Talton, geometry and business arith- meticg Mr. Currin, economics and sociology: and Mrs. M. R.

We had several members from our class on the basketball teams. The girls were Joan Powell, captain, Shirley Heffner, Hazel Strum, and Rosalee Ates. The only boy was Stephen Faucette, who did a swell job. T We enjoyed the Junior-Senior Banquet given us by the Juniors. The theme was Star Light and we had a wonderful time. Every one had a hilarious time at the senior play when Coley Hackett appeared in a barrel, and then as a woman. Others to participate in the play were Amos Speight, Dan Murray, Wilton Smith, Janice Dillehay, Janie Harrison, Dorothy Regan, Hazel Strum, Nancy Wilson, James Strum, and Rosalee Ates. We entered the Western Union Contest again this year, and we had four winners from our class. They were James Strum, William Arthur Wilson, Amos Speight, and Dorothy Regan.

Landrum, Mr. Calvin Pleasants, and Mr. T. R. Kay, printing, Mr. Wade Gregory, shoemakingg and Mrs. M. R. Blackwell, who did an excellent job coaching the cheer- leaders. All these things I have faithfully recorded through the years and kept in order that they might be presented to you.

There were times when our efforts seemed to be in vain, but there were also times that we will all remember. We played some high and low notes, some of which made soft music to our ears, while others failed to do so. Now we know that what we do every day accounts for how our notes sound. At first we were not familiar with how important it was to play the right note. As We have grown mentally, we realize that what we can play to- day We can play tomorrow. Our notes determine our futures. As wee be- gin our tour, we shall leave behind many of our possessions lest we be overburdened. -- f ' ARTICLE 1 'i I I :gr ITEM 1: To our wonderful.hoia5efroom teacher, Mrs. L. A. Ligon, we express our most sincere appreciation for the patience, love, and under- standing she has shown us not only as seniors but all through high school. Thank you. ITEM 2: To our superintendent, Reverend A. DeLeon Gray: our prin- cipal, Mr. E. T. Regan, and all the other staff members we leave our best wishes and thanks for all theyfhavei done for us. ITEM 3: To those patient Juniors, we leave our title, Seniors, and also a little word of advice: Don't chew chewing gum in Mrs. Blackwell's class because she is sure to see your ears wiggling. ITEM 4: To the Sophomores, we leave our ability to jump into the classroom before the tardy belT5fin'fisI1es ringing. ITEM 5: To the Freshmen, wei'-leave our shoes. May they follow in our footsteps. ARTICLE II The individual members of the Class of 1956, after examining their valuables, decided to make some bequests to special friends: Second Monotone, Amos Speight, leaves to Odis Hutchins all his chores at the print shop that requires muscle power and not brain ability. Amos hopes Odis gets to be as strong as he is. Second Soprano, Janie Harrison, Wills to Gaye Hill and Shirley Bass her most treasured treasure map and all the directions instructing on all the fattening foods in the kitchen, which have given her that Slim Figure.

'T3 AS TIME GOES BY Today, May 31, 1966, is exactly ten years since the last concert was ren- dered by the Class of 1956 of the John Nichols School. While ambling along on Fifth Avenue, I chanced to stop in a record bar, and who should I come upon there but James Strum and Monty Finch. They were busy looking for the latest hit tunes, nevertheless thy were kind enough to pause a while and give me the latest dope on all our classmates. I was surprised to hear that the latest hit tune had been written by that great hillbilly, James T. Strum. This will be delightful news for all the boys who lived in Third Boys' Cottage at the Oxford Orphanage with James and listened to his guitar strumming of what were apparently new tunes. Perhaps I should not have been too surprised when I learned that this: Kew hit had been recorded by Monty, who is now a star recorder for R . James had recently returned from a visit to the Ole Home, and while' there he saw Robert Barker, who now owns and operates his own service station in nearby.Grabball, North Carolina. Robert surely did make his training at Currin's Esso pay off. Dan Murray is now the manager of the A and P Store in Oxford. Dan, has made a tremendous advancement since his old job of bagging groceries. Betty Ann McLendon, whose ambition was to be an X-ray technnician, is now a famous inventor. She has constructed an X-ray machine that con- verses with the patient about their ailments. The first girl in our class to get married was Nellie Beasley. I recall so well the shock she gave us by wearing her engagement ring to school the first day of our senior year. She is now the proud mother of five boys. Janice Dillehay, whose ambition was to be a primary teacher, is teach- ing the first grade at Stovall, N, C. I hear that her best students are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Garner. . Sergeant Dean's talk to the seniors must have borne fruit, for Pattie Sue Bostic and Janie Harrison, after completing their training in the nurs- ing schools, went abroad to render service: Pattie Sue is caring for the mummies in Egypt, while Janie is employed in Vatican City. The best public speaker in our class, Dorothy Regan, has recently be- come North Carolina's first woman Senator in Washington. She has all the fine qualities of leadership, consequently we will read of Congressional business on the move. Nancy Wilson, who was chosen by her classmates as the best dancer in our class, is now performing in that fabulous new night club in Huntsboro, North Carolina. Page Fifty-five ,r-sL'g-Agia-an-ii.

He is testing mattresses for Kingsdown in the show case of the nation's largest furniture store. Amos Speight, who thought his weak arches would keep him out of the armed forces, is now a loudmouthed drill instructor at Parris Island. Betty Lou Dickerson, who Wanted to be a missionary, is doing that type of work in a small village in Africa called Kokonaga. Monty told me she had been captured by cannibals a few times but had escaped unharmed. Stephen Faucette was always an enthusiastic member of the National Guards in Oxford, and has now become commander of that unitg Stem, a neighboring city of Oxford, has been most fortunate in securing William Arthur Wilson as manager of the theater. With his years of ex- perience in that field, I'm sure a thriving business will be developed. Hazel Bostic has not been successful in achieving her ambition-that of becoming a bride, but now that-shea has become responsible for Dorothy Dix's column, I'm sure her classmates would wish her the best. How wonderful! Rosalee Ates, after graduating from college, has been appointed dean of women at Duke University. Maybe her experience with the little women in the Vegetable House was not time lost. Remember that tall, dark, business-like Fulton Herrington? Well, I un- derstand that Fulton now owns a half million dollar business in Charlotte, N. C. James told me that his sister Hazel has been employed as Fulton's secretary. Shirley Heffner is now a sergeant in the WAC. She has been in almost all the countries in the world. Jo Anne Powell, the wittiest girl in our class, is now cracking her jokes on her own TV program. ,Q About this time, James and Monty realized that they must be on their way, but I did detain them long enough to ask about the dear little girl who was our mascot, Mary Elizabeth Pruitt, better known to us as Beth . She has recently been chosen as Miss North Carolina , and will soon be at At,lantic City. How about the Class of '56 holding a reunion there at that time. It has been very enlightening to me to have this information, for I had wondered many times about my friends. None has become President of the United States, but time will tell. We shall leave it with you, dear friends, to decide whether the Class of 1956 has reflected honor and credit on their Alma Mater.

FOOTBALL SEASON- 1955 ROCKY MOUNT 34-OXFORD ORPHANAGE 0 The Oxford Orphanage Red Devils opened its season with playing the highly favored Blackbirds of Rocky Mount. During the first half the Red Devils played heads-up-ball, and were trailing only 6 points. Early in the 3rd quarter Captain Wilton Smith was injured and the life left the Orphanage team. The final score was Rocky Mount, 343 Oxford Orphanage, 0. Outstanding for the Red Devils were Wilton Smith, Dalma Evans, and Odis Hutchins. OXFORD ORPHANAGE 7-SOUTHERN HIGH 0 Having picked up three injuries from the previous game, the Red Devils gathered enough strength to defeat stubborn Southern High, 7-0. Coach Homer Thompson's charges drove 31 yards for the winning touchdown, with Coley Hackett dashing around end for a 20 yard score. Marvin Smith cracked over for the P.A.T. Outstanding for the Red Devils were Coley Hackett, Jimmy Snider, and Bill Herrington. GRAHAM 26-OXFORD ORPHANAGE 0 The Oxford Orphanage Red Devils were handed a 26-0 defeat by the Graham Red Devils . It was an off night for the Orphans and they couldn't get the ball rolling. Top performers for the team were Laylon Jordan and Marvin Smith. HENDERSON 13-OXFORD ORPHANAGE 0 The Henderson Bulldogs won a very close decision in a mud-fought battle. The Bulldogs were very lucky to win this game. The Red Dev- ils out fought them man to man and were very proud of themselves after the game. The final score was Henderson, 135 Oxford, 0. Outstanding for the Red Devils were all the linemen who gave ev- erything they had. OXFORD HIGH 21-OXFORD ORPHANAGE 7 The Oxford Orphanage Red Devils were mighty disappointed from losing to Arch-Rival Oxford High. It was a hard-fought game which the Red Devils should have won. Quarterback, Paul Tausch, scored the Orphanage's only touchdown and Marvin Smith added the P.A.T. The final score, Oxford High, 21, Oxford Orphanage, 7.

RED DEVIL RIGHT GUARD NAMED ALL-CONFERENCE BY NEWS AND OBSERVER fFrom The Orphans' Friend And Masonic Journalj Laylon Jordan, Red Devil right guard was recently placed on the Raleigh News and Observer All-Conference team for the 1955 football season. A native of Littleton, Jordan was given this honor by the coach- es of District III who saw him block and tackle with the best line- men in the conference. By weight the 5' 8 145-pound junior was the smallest player chosen on the All-Conference team and was one of the smallest play- ers in the Red Devil's forward wall. Laylon's past experience on the Orphanage midget and junior varsity teams really paid off this year for the scrappy letterman, while attending the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades he played for the midget Bone Crushers and then in the ninth grade he was a player on the junior varsity team. In 1954, as a sophomore, Jordan earned his letter and started several ball games at guard position. Although not a starter against Rocky Mount last fall, Laylon came off the bench and was a thorn in the side of the Blackbirds. After the first ball game he was a starter for the remaining nine games. For the honor of being chosen All-Conference the coaching staff and football team say, Congratulations Page One Hundred Thu-ty nme A .5--1 -f ..g., ..-- Q... 1. 2,-,-.-..'L- .- 116 .rw gr-,.. 1 ?-- -it l-i-1 U J 3.1.

A few days later, the Durham Morning Her- ald announced that William CRedJ Albertson, one of our lads, had been chosen to the District Three AA All- Conference basketball team. This was indeed a great honor for William since this was his first year in AA competition. 'tRed was awarded this honor by the coaches of District III and sports writers of this area who covered the games during the season. This lad also received honorable men- tion when the All-State AA team was selected. Albertson, son of Mrs. Eva Albert- Page4O1Le Humlred Forty-four son, is a native of Kinston. He measures six feet, two inches in height, and tips the scales at 175 pounds. From the first game to the last he gave his very best in playing ability and was a great source of encourage- ment to his team mates. Red scored a total of 373 points in twenty games, for an average of 18.6 per game. Of this total 290 points were scored in sixteen conference games, for an aver- age of 18.1 per conference game. He hit in the double figure mark in eigh- teen games, six times with 20 or more, and twice with 30 or more. His larg- est total for one game was against Hillsboro High School as he ripped the nets for 31 points. He scored many of his points on a left-handed jump push shot, mixed with a driving lay- up shot. Red was the third top scorer in District III competition, and was the top rebound man for the Red Devils. At the beginning of the season he was not listed among the top twenty scor- ers of the conference, but after re- covering from a virus infection, he set a blistering pace to climb to the No. 3 spot. William modestly gives much of the credit to his team mates-Ronald Bullock, Paul Taush, Larry Mum- ford, Steve Faucette, Alton Provost and Van Edwards-for his scoring success this year. These boys passed to him many times, setting up a large number of his scoring plays. Red also proved that he was quite a de- fensive player, as on many occasions he blocked the shots or deflected the ball when controlled by his opponents. The members of the basketball team, coaches, staff members and the entire student body are very proud of William Albertson, and tender to him most hearty congratulations. 3-4 ' f., '+ G 5' 312' , 111 , .5-5 DN ' ,I ' 'E'- '- -5 -..
