Yoder, East Durham High School: Since last report an election increasing the local tax 10 cents on the $100valuation has been carried by an overwhelming majority, mainly to supportthe high school. Edgecombe County Principal Robert K. Hoke, Macclesfield High School: During the year several landmarks of progress were made. Two literarysocieties—the Clay and the O. Henry—were organized, and in their meetings,both private and public, they did much to stimulate interest in debating,reciting, declaiming, etc. In the spring term the high school published a little magazine, called TheHigh School Hustler. Copies of this paper were distributed, free of charge,to the homes of every citizen in the district and into many outside places. On every side this term of school is hailed as the most successful one in thehistory of the school, and it is my firm: belief that the State will yet hear fromthe Macclesfield High School.
