Close of Six Forks School (1918)
The school at Six Forks, taught by Mr. and Mrs. W.P. GIBBS, closed a very successful term Wednesday. The entertainment at night was largely attended and was very enjoyable and appropriate, it being carried out in Red Cross effect in the interest of that society and of the thrift campaign. Quite a large number of thrift Stamps were sold.
In a spirited contest between two “junior four-minute men,” Bailey RICH, and Robert H. SAUNDERS, SAUNDERS was given the certificate, though it was hard to decide.
After the program a pound cake baked by Mrs. Lizzie LEE was offered at auction, Mr. Geo. J. POWERS of Willard being auctioneer. After an exciting contest the cake went to Miss Carrie SAUNDERS, one of the most popular girls in school.
The proceeds of the sale of the cake amounted to $90.28, which was given the Red Cross, and the total sum realized during the evening was $116. Mr. and Mrs. GIBBS are held in the highest esteem and the people have given them co-operation.
