JUNIOR COLLEGE
NOTES
A GREAT PICTURE
AT
THE LINCOLN
The debate featured last week by
the department of public speaking,
under the direction of Miss E. M.
Walls, was very interesting and well
conducted, eight young ladies taking
part, four to each side. The question:
“Resolved, That Divorce Laws Should
Be Under Federal Control,” was well
debated. The audience indicated it by
its prolonged applause, in favor of the
negative..
Class day exercises were observed
Wednesday, June 1, 8:30 p. m., in the
Jack Yates Auditorium. The first
part of the program included' the
salutatory address by Miss Willie Lee
Cannon and the valedictory by Miss
Vida McGriff, valedictorian.
The second part of the program was
a special feature, arranged by Miss
Mary L. Jones, sponsor of the class,
prognosticating a class reunion ten
years hence.
Registration for the summer ses-
sion began June 3-4; class work will
begin Monday, June 6, the class hours
being from 8 a. m. to 1 p. m. at the
spacious, comfortable, cool and well
located Jack Yates High School, thus
offering excellent opportunity for per-
sons desiring to do summer work with
the most conveniences. For full in-
formation call Dean J. T. Fox, L-0661.
From all indications, the attendance
for the summer promises to be good.

Brightly audacious, romatically
dramatic, cleverly and generously
humorous is the attraction that open-
ed Sunday at the Lincoln Theatre.
"Platimum Blonde,” produced by
Columbia pictures, is the film that
stands up under this barrage of vir-
tues being the performance of Robert
Williams, who did so nobly in “Re-
bound,” “Dovotion” and tops these
with his biggest in “Platinum Blonde.”
“Platinum Blonde” is a romantic
love drama set against high society
background. In addition to Robert
Williams and Jaen Harlow, the cast
includes Loretta Young, Reginald
Owens. It is a Frank Capra pro-
duction.

’Twould be folly to say the game
was well played as there were nu-
merous errors and miscalculations on
both sides. The game was a see-saw
affair from the fifth inning on when
the Post Office scored eleven runs to
take the lead, increased it to 1-11 and
then the Red Caps ran their score up
to 23-15, but the Post Office team
kept the spectators in suspense by
running five in the last half of the
ninth, but could go no further.
In their search for bigger and bet-
ter opposition the Post Office is still
open for games. They play Inde-
pendence Heights team on the Airline
Road diamond Saturday at 3:30 p. m.

ton at Franklin Street Station.
The board again secured the M. K.
and T. (Missouri, Kansas and Texas)
Railroad as the official route for the
delegates and visitors coming to the
grand lodge. The fact that that rail-
road has extended special courtesies
and privileges to the Knights of the
order for many years in the past and
had gone out of its way to extend
even greater courtesies was commend-
ed upon by the various members.
From many points, special rates
will be offered by this road to Gal-
veston during the grand lodge session.

your locality and make arrangements
early.

MAN AND WIFE TELL OF
LIBERIA MISSIONARY WORK
Richmond, Va—(CNS)—The First
English Evangelical Lutheran Church
here had as speakers last Sunday the
Rev. and Mrs. R. S. Oberly of Zorzor,
Liberia. The local church lists the
Rev. Oberly as one of its pastors, he
being associated—even in far away
Africa—with the Rev. J. J. Scherer,
Jr., D. D.; the Rev. Kenneth Killinger,
mountain missionary in Southwest
Virginia; and Sister Ruth Wagner,
deaconess in Richmond.
Mr. Oberly, whose station is oom-
prised of a girls' and boys’ school, a
church and a medical unti, has just
completed his second three-year stay
in the African field and has taken ad-
vantage of his current vacation to
visit parts of the Orient.
Holden and Miss LaRue Emerson clos-
ed their school at Fidelity last Thurs-
day evening with four finishing, the
seventh grade. The address to the
class was delivered by Prof. Geo. B.
Sanders. Miss Thelma Jones of Hous-

Miss LaRue Emerson. Mrs. (Freddie
Holden and Miss LaRue Emerson mo-
tored to Galveston Monday., Mrs.
Hattie Black, president of the Wom-
men’s Home Missionary Society of
Asbury rendered a program ‘Sunday
night. The members of First Baptist
Church are busy raising money for
the flag of the Sunday School Union
which meets there on the third Sun-
day in June.
White Man Caught
In Trap He Set For
Defenseless Negr o
Memphis, Tenn. (CNA)—A white
business man who tried to have a Ne-
gro hanged for a crime he himself
committed, has been caught in the
trap he set for the Negro.
A grand jury has indicted Will Pur-
year, owner of an automobile ehop
here, for the murder of his wife and
child on May 2. The indictment was
made after Will Jamison, jobless Ne-
gro, had died in a hospital, proclaim-
ing his innocence of the murder of
Puryear’s family.
Jamison said that he had been ap-
proached by Puryear with an offer
of a little work. He accompanied
Puryear to his home, and when they
got there, Puryear opened fire, and
then ran out of the house, screaming
that a Negro had murdered his wife
and child. Jamison was at once ar-
rested, and it was then discovered a
that Puryear’s wife and 12-year-old
daughter had been murdered some
time before. Before Jamison died, he
managed to tell his story. The facts
were so glaring that even an all-
white Southern jury did not dare to
go through with the frame-up.
Hundreds of Negroes are railroad-
ed to death or jail sentences every
year on framed evidence of just thia
sort.
After recovering from the first sur-
prise, Mr. Griffin received a second,
when he was presented gifts from
some of the guests. A very enjoyable
evening was spent, and the guests re-
luctantly wished the honoree many
and more, happy birthdays, as Mrs.
Aline Parker-Montgomery, who, as-
sited by Mrs. Hazel Jackson, furnish-
ed such appropriate music for the oc-
casion, played “Good-night, Sweet-
heart.”
