Alumni For seventy-seven years Oak Ridge Military Institute has been writing its history in the lives of young men, thousands of whom have attended its sessions. Hon. W. N. Everett, former Secretary of State, in a letter to Professor Whitaker, said: “Possibly the most outstanding men in the community where I live (Rockingham, N. C.) are those who got their early training at your school. They have come to be leaders of men and of industry. Your school has had the great gift of being able to impress itself upon the lives and character of its students. It has not only taught facts, but I think has been able to teach the boys how to translate those facts into the terms of life about them.” What Mr. Everett said of his own community is true of almost every other section of North Carolina. There is perhaps no hamlet so remote that it does not contain an Oak Ridge alumnus. In law, manufacturing, in business, in education, and even in athletics, Oak Ridge alumni have won and retained an enviable place. In the political life of the state they have also played an important part. They are to be found among the superior court judges, and are outstanding members of the general assembly.
