  • THE CULLOWHEE YODEL ALUMNI NOTES Hon. L. P. Hamlin, Class of 1912, Brevard lawyer and practicing attorney, and former Chairman of the Tenth District Republican Congressional Committee, has just recently been nominated as a candidate for a seat in the National House of Representatives from the Tenth District. He will oppose Congressman Weaver, the present incumbent. Mr. Hamlin enjoys the unique distinction of being the first alumnus of this institution to be nominated for Congress. Prof. C. Roy Bird, Class of 1919, is just closing a successful term of school at Webster. As principal of the Webster High School, Mr. Bird has been able to arouse much community interest and has enlisted general support in his effort to give the people a good school. The commencement exercises were held April 16th and 17th. President H. T. Hunter, of the Cullowhee Normal & Industrial School, delivered the annual address. After graduating from Cullowhee, Prof. Bird entered the George Peabody College for Teachers, where he graduated with his B.S. degree. He is a brother of Prof. W. E. Bird, head of the English Department and Dean of Cullowhee Normal & Industrial School. Mrs. W. 0. Hampton, Class of 1916, who was formerly Miss Annie Coward, is residing at Sylva. Her husband, who was teacher of Mathematics and Director of Athletics at Cullowhee for two years, is now Principal of the Sylva High School, which position he has held for the past two years. Mr. and Mrs. Hampton :ii-t~ planning to leave for Chapel Hill very soon, where Prof. Hampton expects to do a full year's work finishing his Master's and taking his Doctor's degree. Mrs. Hampton was also a member of the Faculty of Cullowhee Normal & Industrial School for some time, having charge of the Department of Education and Girls' Athletics. Prof, and Mrs. Hampton have a host of friends at Cullowhee and throughout this section, who rejoice to see them climbing. Prof. Frank I. Watson, Class of 1914, is still teaching at Dillsboro, Jackson County. That Prof. Watson is one of the best teachers and school heads Cullowhee has turned loose is evidenced by the fact that the Dillsboro people refuse to give him up. He has been teaching there for the past eight years and in the meantime has had many offers of positions with much better pay. He is a Christian gentleman of sterling worth and qualities, self-made, brought up from the ranks, a native of the hills, and a man of whom Cullowhee and this section may well be proud. Mr. G. T. Worley and Miss Lillian Reeves, both of the Class of 1923, have just closed a successful term of school at Sandy Mush, in Buncombe County. Miss Reeves was on our campus a few days ago renewing old acquaintances and making new ones. We are always glad to have our sons and daughters come back, and one of the best evidences of the Cullowhee spirit is that they are always glad and anxious to come back to the old place. Mrs. W. E. Bird, formerly Miss Myrtle Wells, Class of 1916, who resides near our campus, has just returned from a short visit to her husband, Prof. W. E. Bird's old home at Qualla, where Prof. Bird's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Bird, live. The writer recently spent a few hours in this beautiful country home and enjoyed the hospitality of this noble couple. They are now nearing the evening of a long and fruitful life, blessed with the satisfaction of having reared a large family of noble men and women, who are a crown of glory to their declining years. * * * * * * * * *.;. * * * * * * * * * * * •:• * * * * •:• * * * •:• •;• •:■ •:• * •:• * * •:- * •:• * •:- * * * * * * * * * * * 1 MEDFORD FURNITURE CO.
