The Rev. Ernest E. Thompson,
pastor of the First Christian
church in Macon, will deliver the
baccalaureate sermon to the mem
bers of the 1953 graduating class
of the Bryan County High school,
Sunday, May 24, at 11:30 A.M. in
the high school auditorium, ac
cording to J. B. Hussey, principal
of the school. He will be intro
duced by the Rev. V. P. Bowers,
pastor Os the Pembroke Christian
church, who planned Mr. Thomp
son’s visit.
The Macon pastor is well known
in this section, having taught at
Willie in Liberty county before
that town was absorbed by the
Camp Stewart reservation. His
wife, the former Miss Sarah Will
Darsey, was the seventh grade
teacher in Pembroke in 1943. The
couple has three daughters. Mrs.
Thompson is the niece of Miss
Lula McGahee and Mrs. W. T.
Hughes, and Mr. Thompson, who
boarded with them in Willie be
fore his marriage, will visit his
wife’s aunts during his brief stay
in Pembroke.
Mr. Thompson attended Teach
ers College in Statesboro, and is
a graduate of Butler University
in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he
was awarded a bachelor of arts
degree as well as a degree of
bachelor of divinity from the the
ological branch of the university.
He is a veteran of World War 11,
having fought in the European
theater, including the Battle of
the Bulge. For two years he was
assistant pastor of the Peachtree
Christian church in Atlanta.
A bit of sentiment attached to
the appearance of Mr. Thompson
in Pembroke is the fact that while
he was teaching at Willie he was
baptized by Mr. Bowers into the
Christian denomination as a mem
ber of the Willie church.

With the closing of the Bryan
County High School, the Baccula
laureate Sermon to be preached
Sunday and the Graduating Exer
cise to be next Monday night, it
brings to a close the most sccess
ful year that we know of for our
local school.
During the past year our stu
dents have represented Bryan
County with honors and distinction
at the different meets throughout
the District and we have won our
share of honors, both in the sports
field as well as literary. And to our
knowledge this is the first time
that this has been the case during
the past 2G years we have been in
Pembroke.
With the closing of the school,
Pembroke and Bryan County loses
Jim Hussey, as some one else has
already been selected for his place,
and we understand that he is well
qualified for the place. But in
losing Jim Hussey and his wife we
are losing two of the best teachers
our school has ever had. Success
to you Jim and Willie wherever you
may go.

To Handle Sale
Os City Tags
Mayor F. O. Miller was among
the first citizens of Pembroke to
purchase the new city tag recently
adopted by the city council.
Designed for the front of the
car, the tag is black and white, and
has “Pembroke, Georgia,” written
on it in an attractive and outstand
ing style.
The mayor emphasized that
purchase of the tag is not com
pulsory and carries with it no reg
istration, but is simply an adver
tisement stunt. The city has asked
J. T. Roach to handle the sale for
them and car owners interested in
their purchase are instructed to see
him. Mr. Miller said the price is
50c.
