  • THE CULLOWHEE YODEL FAITHFUL SCHOOL OFFICIAL RETIRES (Cont'd from page 1) PASTOR OF CULLOWHEE METHODIST CHURCH WEDS the work of three men, he labored early and late regardless of fatigue or exposure, blind and deaf to offers and opportunities that meant sure and lucrative personal gain. At any time within the period of his connection with this institution, he could have doubled and trebled his income or made both name and wealth for himself by using his splendid business abilities to promote his private interests; yet with sublime unselfishness and unsurpassed loyalty, he dedicated his time and talents to his (Struggling alma mater, as teacher, business manager, and bursar, making his personal affairs always a secondary consideration and never relaxing his interest or his efforts till his health began to fail. Then because he realized that this institution had reached a stage that no longer necessitated his service or sacrifice, he voluntarily resigned, amid the regrets and protests of the friends and officials of the school, but with the happy consciousness of having rendered a priceless, everlasting service to the dear old institution as her financial pilot through the perilous days of her passage from an unpromising experiment to a permanent State College. Mr. Wilson, in addition to his abundant labors at Cullowhee, has served with distinguished ability and success, and greatly to the public interest, in the following capacities: County Superintendent of Public Instruction (three terms); Member and Chairman of the County Board of Education; County Representative in General Assembly of North Carolina (1919.) In 1894, Mr. Wilson was graduated at Cullowhee. He attended the State University, pursuing collegiate and law courses with credit. As a teacher, administrator, legislator, business manager, and progressive citizen, he has ranked high. His ability, varied experience, and high character combine to render him capable of much further usefulness to his generation. The best wishes of this institution and of friends throughout North Carolina attend him in whatever activity he may choose to engage. Angry Professor: How dare you swear before me? Student: How did I know that you wanted to swear first? He has much to do who would please everybody. The fairest-looking shoe may pinch the foot. (Cont'd from page 1) The wedding took place in the Waynesville Methodist Church with Rev. J. T. Mangum officiating. A pleasing musical program preceded the ceremony, consisting of vocal solos by Miss Margaret Stringfield, Mrs. Fred Martin and Mr. T. J. Davis, accompanied by Mrs. W. L. Matney at the piano. The wedding party entered the auditorium in the following order: Ushers, Messrs. Paul Martin and John Swift, Jere Davis and Fred Martin; Maid of Honor, Miss Elizabeth Martin; Little John Everett Penny and little Katherine Martin, the former carrying the wedding ring and a lily and the latter a basket of flowers; the bride and her father, Mr. E. P. Martin, who were met at the alter by the groom and his best man, Mr. F. G. Brown, of Cullowhee. The alter was beautifully and tastefully decorated with autumn leaves, ferns, reed, and clematis, artistically arranged. Rev. and Mrs. Lynch are taking a honeymoon trip by automobile to various points in the State and will attend the Western North Carolina Conference at Greensboro before returning. Their home will be in Cullowhee after conference. Prof. Brown: What is the highest form of animal life ? Ray Gibbs: A giraffe. Do you know how rats get in here ? Naw. Uh?huh! REGRET TRAINING SCHOOL NEWS Wilhelmina: "How many sisters have you ?" Ernest (ruefully): One by birth and three by promise." "I was a stricken deer that left the herd, Long since with many an arrow deep affixed, With panting side I was charged when I withdrew To seek a tranquil death in distant shades." If I could be what I might have been, O! World so full of woe, In sooth I'd live as the better men, Why did I not foreknow ? Life's variable tide is ebbing fast, I cannot stem the tide; In ages past the dye was cast, Still down the stream I glide. I try in vain to stay the tears, The fruit of a destined soul, What can expel these awful tears And lead me to life's goal'.' My youthful years now long since Were filled with sin and vice, I let my heart and soul ferment, Now I must pay the price. Unsaintly ghost, who did compute This wretched life to naught, My soul is blind, I can't refute The lessons that you've taught. When death holds out its grim cold hand To claim me as its own, Then I must gain an unknown land To reap what I have sown. —J. S. Johnson.
