As you will remember in high school days she never knew what she was going to do and still she is trying to de- cide. At the present she is matron of the home for the aged in Raleigh. Miss Thaxton is greatly loved by all the old people there and if they have their way she will never leave.” “Mr. Edward Bowles, after studying all forms of the Olympic Games abroad, has returned to the United States. Tomorrow he has a meeting with his committee at which they will discuss the establishments of an athletic college for boys. Mr. Bowles has always claimed that athletics did not have a fair showing so he is plan- ning to establish a college at which they will get justice. Mr. Bowles is to be presi- dent of this college and will also be chief athletic director.” y € gre z . a “Now tell me what has happened to our teacher, Miss Mildred Satterfield, who lad did so much to help us during our high school days and especially our last year.” t cnT: : , : ili : : arth LUO, om hoeereea Miss Satterfield is now living in Los Angeles where she is writing thesocial - tp CEL news for the leading paper there.
