tory week, many activities were
carried on throughout the
school to acquaint the children
w*t'u smie of the outstanding
Negroes, present and past. Ap¬
propriate assemblies in the
primary and intermediate de¬
partments were given.
The intermediate grades pre¬
sented a playlet entitled, “Li¬
brary Talk/' with the follow-
in* charac’ers: Boy, Louis
Reid; Girl, Evelyn McNeal; Li-
brar an, Theresa Phillips; Wil¬

The first grade class under
Jl, , will
now you
greet hi mj ?
Mony will toort H$i* fellow’s arrival with champagne
«nd cheers.
And when they shout “Happy New Year”—they
know it will be just that ... for them.
There’ll be others, of course, whose cup will be
bitter and cheerless. To them 1959 will promise
just one more year of disappointment and failure-—
another year of “have-not”!
How will you “see in” that year ahead?
Your answer lies in the plans you are making
today for the future happiness and security of your
family and yourself. It lies in a systematic saving
plan -one that builds and builds for the future.
Many are finding the best answer in U. S. Savings
Bonds—the wisest, surest of all investments. These
Bonds are guaranteed by the U. S. Government—
guaranteed to pay you back $4 for every $3 you
put in, after ten years.
Now is the time to start saving, automatically,
this easy, painless way. Enroll today in the Payroll
Savings Plan. Or, if you’re not on a payroll, ask
your bank about the equally convenient, equally
profitable Bond-A-Month Plan.
