a kstablished GUN : 189] In Residence 280 Children VOL. 29 BARIUM SPRINGS, N.C., JANUARY 1951 NO. 3 CHILDREN OF THE HOME ENJOY CHRISTMAS AND HOLIDAY SEASON Christmas at the Home is one of the glorious seasons of the year and one of the busiest. Christmas letters are writ- ten in the school rooms under the direction of the teachers early in November and these letters are put in the hands of Miss Rebekah Carpenter who handles the Christmas presents for the children. Particular letters are sent to those who request particu- lar ones and the others are sent to churches who ask for large numbers of letters with some churches taking as many as forty or fifty letters from the boys and girls. As packages come in they are carefully listed and stored away. It takes a lot of thinking and re- membering and writing to get packages correctly listed and assigned to the proper cot- tage for a particular child. Two before Christmas the store room is bulging and Miss Car- penter’s brain is in a whirl. Everything is sorted out and for two days the truck delivers the packages to the various cot- tages. The housemothers then in the secrecy of their own rooms hegin to check to see that every- thing is properly arranged for and at the last minute there comes a frantic flurry if some expected package has not arrived. The housemother and Miss Carpenter are well fortified for that occas- ion and immediately the situation is remedied and the child is pro- vided for. 3y bedtime on these days Christmas Eve all is ready and in waiting for Christmas morning. From five o'clock on that good day through- out the rest of the day there is the thrilling excitement of what Santa Claus has brought or whit has come from under the tree. Little girls with their baby dolls and little boys with their toys, cowboy suits and tents rock and sing, dance and play all day long. 3asketball, volley balls, skates, shirts, sweaters, lovely things wear, watches, small radios, mon- ey and gifts of every description are proudly displayed by the other boys and girls as the members of the Home visit from cottage t cottage to see what each one has received, In addition to this there are special cakes that come for Christmas dinner, special turkeys that have been on deep freeze for many weeks in preparation for Christmas dinner, special candy that has been sent in for Christ- mas, special fruit that has been sent up for the Christmas time. and a varied assortment of can- dies and fruits and games ana toys from one or two particular ‘individuals who send up a truck- load. There are those who, realiz- ing that in it all somebody mightt be overlooked, send in special money for use at Christmas. Many individuals send in checks to be used for the children and for the purchase of Christmas presents. Organizations like the Elks of Statesville and the Y MC A of Davidson send in checks. All these things go into the making up of Christmas Day and Christmas dinner, and Christmas gifts, and Christmas trees, so that Barium Springs has a wonderful Christ- mas season because there are others who have caught the Christmas spirit and remembered the Home.

We’d like to begin with Christmas morning, but there are lots of things which happened to us be- fore that great day. In December, we told you that the word had drifted out that all small children were going to Da- vidson for a real, sure-enough party. By the time any more news had drifted to us, we had already Christmas Treats Parachuted to Campus from the heavens was a reality on Christmas morning. At eleven o'clock the air was fill- ed with tiny parachutes floating to the ground with candy, chew- ing gum, and good things to eat. Mr. Aubry Wallace and Captain Marvin Huntley had been getting their flight ready for weeks at Monroe, The Civil Air Patrol of that town had purchased hand- kerchiefs and string and had made the little parachutes. The Men’s Bible Class of the First Presbyterian Chureh had furn- ished the money for the project. The airplane had been furnished by the Civil Air Patrol with Cap- tain Huntley at the controls. At the appointed time on Christ- mas morning the plane circled the field three times and then made the first run across, setting loose a whole batch of ’chutes that fill- ed the air and came fluttering down to the upreached hands of the children waiting for them. Four runs in all across the field and four loosing of ’chutes gave everybody a chance to get one out of the air and to have the thrill of getting it, taking possession of a good piece of candy and gum and to have a brand new hand- kerchief for keeps. Candy come and gone. On the way there, our hearts were light and so were our mouths, coming back, we were just light-hearted, and our arms were heavy with gifts. No one at ou: house will ever be able to express our appreciation ‘or the wonderful time, the won- derful courtesy, and the wonder- ful gifts. Anyway, thanks a lot, we had a nice time! Next on our list as being an important occasion was the Fri- day noon we got out for the holi- days. We were practically at a loss over how to spend so much free time! But we soon found out, for we went on walks, and played all sorts of games - both in the house and out of doors. Finally, Christmas Eve we were unusually quiet. This sounds ab- normal, doesn’t it? Well, we were told that Santa might be peeping in the window to see if we were eood or not, and we settled down or a quiet evening, just in case he happened to be watching — us. Then - Christmas morning! Feet never moved as fast, sleepiness never vanished as quickly as_ it did that morning. Presents were sitting there so invitingly, wait- ing for us to open them up. “Why Santa must be awfully bright to remember all | wanted for Christ- “Isn't my Negro doll dar- line?” “Look at my Bride doll!” Oh, well, isn’t all this chatter typi- cal? Seriously now, if there is any- one in our writing thank-you notes we might have skipped, we would be awfully glad if you would write and let us know. There are so many to whom we must write, that perhaps we over- looked someone. After Christmas Day wasn’t the end of our fun! As usual we went to a movie to see another technicolor film. This time to see “Pagan Love Song”. We _ were mostly interested in the beautiful coloring, the swimming, and the dancing. Perhaps next month we will be able to finish telling you all our adventures and such! So, un- til February, we wish for each of you a very very happy New Year. ; —The A. L. C. Girls. mas!” CHILD WELFARE EXPERT VISITS NORTH CAROLINA ORPHANAGES Howard W. Hopkirk, senior consultant to the Child Wel- fare League of America and one of the nation’s outstanding authorities on child care problems, visited North Carolina January 8 - 13 to consult with officials of two orphans’ homes. SEWING ROOM Well, here is our first news for the new year. We sincerely hope that all of you had a wonderful Christmas, and we also hope that this new year will be the best ever. The sewing room was closed from the nineteenth of December until the second of January. All of us had a wonderful time dur- ing the Christmas holidays. Most of the Senior went home for a few days during the holidays and all of them came back report- ing a wonderful time, but glad to be back. Here is a little report on each ot the girls from the sewing room. Melva Powell received a beauti- ful music box from her boy friend. Lucky girl! Every time you pass her door you will hear the song “near you.” Shirley Inman, sporting a new “Joan of Arc” hair-do. She really looks cute - you ought to see her. Marie Andrews with a new long sleeved blouse. Wonder who gave it to her? Ann Wilcox taking “good” care of our boy friends while we were away, and having fun with the boy from Mississippi. Peggy Plyler almost getting snow bound while going home. But a tall, good looking boy came to her rescue, Jeanne Turlington admiring new white topper she received from studebaker friend. Lucky girl to have such a wonderful boy friend! Clara Mangum wearing a new locket all the time. We know she wouldn’t lose it for the world. Frances Stricklin going to York, South Carolina, what Fanny got up her sleeve? Just betore we got out of school our sewing room instructors gave has 1s a party and each of us received a beautiful slip. Wish you could have seen the beautiful cake: we had. It sure was good. S'nce we have come back to work, we have been busy making over the books for the year and fixing some of the Christmas clothes that were a little too big. Our basketball season © starts the fifth of January and we will lots to tell about that have you next month. We wish you, again, a happy New Year. Mangum and Powell. WOMAN’S BUILDING Gee! So much has happened since you last heard from us, that 1 hardly know where to start. Santa certainly was good to us this year and we want to take this time to show our deep appre- ciation. “Thank you to all the Santas!” It’s always a treat to have tur- key, and Dr, Scott from States- ville, is on our thank you list for that delicious turkey we had Christmas. The ball teams have their first conference game January fifth and will continue to have one nearly every Tuesday and Friday until the season is over. “Good luck, girls and boys!” ; The Seniors are now wearing those beautiful rings they had to wait so long for. One girl said, “Gee, its not in here I guess 1'l Mr. Hopkirk visited the Pres- byterian Orphans’ Home at Ba- rium Springs on January 9 and 10 where he consulted with! the Rev. Albert B. McClure, superintendent, and other officials, and then went to the Baptist Orphanage of North Carolina, Ine., at Thomas- ville on January 11 and 12 where he consulted with the staff head- ed by W. C. Reed, general super- intendent. Both agencies are members of the Child Welfare League, which is the national federation of child care agencies, both public and private, sectarian and non-sectar- ian. The League sets standards and helps improve methods for child-care agencies and admits to membership only those meeting high professional qualifications. It now has members in 146 cities in 40 States, Canada and Hiwaii. Mr. Hopkirk has been an expert in child care for more than 25 years. He is a member of the Na- tional Commission on Children and Youth, a director of the U. S. Com- mittee for the care of European Children, chairman of the Depart- ment of Social Welfare of the Na- tional Council of Churches, and author of “Institutions Serving Children,” published by the Russell Sage Foundation. Mr. Hopkirk served as executive director of the Child Welfare League from 1940 to 1948, becom- the League’s senior consultant up- on his retirement that year. take my ring off.” We had open house Christmas and all our friends came over to help us enjoy our beautiful gifts. “Glad to have you friends, come back to see us.” Sorry Mr. Johnston and _ his family could not be with us this Christmas. We had some visitors on our campus and being here we hope they enjoyed as much as we enjoyed having them. “Come again folks!” Glad have all our teachers back with us now that the holidays are over. The “Give to Christmas Tree” turned out to be one of the best had.

Well, so month. long friends until next —-Marie Andrews. PFUMPLE HALL Well it is about time we start- ed doing something. We had a nice time at Davidson. The boys were real nice to us and we think it was one of the nicest times we had this year. Our Christmas tree was real pretty. We had gotten ornaments to put on it. Mrs. Ellis popped some pop corn to put on it and she had a little scene on a table which had some little reindeers and a Santa which made it real pretty. Christmas morning we were all excited.

If we all went up there at one time you know what our present would look like. We all got so many nice gifts for Christmas we hardly know what to do with them. Mr. Stowe came to see us a lit- tle bit before Christmas. He brought us so many nice things, we enjoyed his visit very much. We had a square dance New Year’s night with the boys. Mr. and Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Ellis were there to help us do right. Mr. Sherrill and some boys came to play the music and we all had a good time. “very one at Barium has four free show tickets and we know there will be some good shows on soon, at least we hope so. We are trying to keep our yard elean and keep it-clean so the cam- pus will look neat. Our Mooresville friends came to see us Wednesday before Christ- mas. They brought ail of tite girls a nice present and it was such fun opening them. We guess this is all for now. Look for us in the cottage news next month. —Joyee Ferrell Virginia Baucom.

C Former Student Writes Back Home As soon as the letter which ap- pears in this column reached thie desk of the superintendent, he im- mediately requested permission to publish it in the Messenger in or- der that the readers might have some idea of what has been done by one of the former students. The letter speaks for itself. Dear Friends: I am sure that you have no idea of my existence unless you have seen some of the names of stu- dents at Barium in the early part of this century - 1902 to 1909. I with two sisters, Florence and Nola Murray, and a ‘small brother, Fletcher Murray, entered the “Fam- ily of the Church” then called The Orphans’ Home in the fall of 1902, and a younger sister, Evelyn Murray entered later. I gradua- ted with the class of 1909. There were only three of us: Ernest Creason, Nell Powell, and Hester Murray. I have heard that Ernest died in early manhood, though I do not know this to be a fact. Nell was married and living in Cali- forn:a near San Franciso the last I knew of her, I attended Flora Macdonald Col- lege two years, taught a mission schoo] near Plumtree, N. C. from the middle of May to the middle of September of 1911. Then I took the teacher’s examination in Avery County North Carolina and taught the public school at Plum- tree that year. The next winter I was principal of a country school in my home community near Bur- gaw, N. C. In 1913, I was married to a young Presbyterian minister from Statesville, Reverend W. Parks Gibbs, and we went into one of the Home Mission fields of West Vir- ginia. Mr. Gibbs had a large ter- ritory, some fifty miles in length, ten preaching points in churches and schoolhouses, and the method of travel was by horseback or by buggy in summer. The old-time sled with seasoned hickory soles on the runners served during the snowy periods in winter, We en- joyed the sledding. We were there several years until the exposures and rigors of those cold mountain winters made it necessary for Mr. Gibbs to get out of that section, have a throat operation or two, and then to take up other work for awhile. We taught school to- gether for a few years in North Carolina and then in Virginia. Our only child, a son, John Boyd Gibbs, was born in West Virginia in 1914. He* is now an ordained Presbyterian minister in U. S. A. Church, lives near Nashville, Ten- nessee, is married, has a lovely wife and two dear children, a son, John Boyd Gibbs, Jr. now eight, and Mary Lou Gibbs, six years. Mr. Gibbs and I did several] years of teaching in the Mountain Mis- sions or our church. During the war we did some supply work in mission fields in Virginia and Ten- nessee. Now we are living near Smithville, Tenn., on the rim of the Cumberlands on the Cumberland Plateau among a number of nurs- ery farmers. Here, almost every farmer raises several jacres of fruit, shade, and nut trees, grape vines, shrubbery and roses as well as the regular crops of corn, grain, hay, etc. E Mr. Gibbs is in his seventieth year so is on the superannuate list. I am in the early sixties, but it doesn’t seem possible. We are both alert in spirit and mind. » FEBRUARY 1951 NO. 4 A HOME FOR CHILDREN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH U. S. A new marker has been ies at each end of the c of Mooresville. Mrs. John Allred Photographer Ralph Spencer ampus of Barium Springs as a gift from Mr. and asked the following children to pose: Shelby Peak, Edna Evans, Joey Vecchio, Merle Byrd, Aline Merritt, Lillian Baucom. What I want is a phamphlet with names and addresses of Ba- rium Aiumni if you have any such roster. I knew several who went on to college and made names for themselves; namely Oscar Mann, Thornwell Gibson, John Carriker and others. I am proud to have had the excellent training which was given at Barium, and have been able to teach Bible Schools, Sun- day School classes, do pastoral vis- iting with Mr. Gibbs, work in the church, and to organize many missionary societies. My Home Ec. tra'ning enabled me to be a seam- stress and tailor for my family as well as to teach Home Ec. some ten or twelve years. My students write me yet and tell me many nice things about our former asso- ciations as teacher and_ pupil. These letters are very gratifying for we tried to influence the hearts of our students as well as to train their minds. One of my sisters, Nola Murray, died in 1929 and my brother, Flet- cher, died during World War II. Florence, Mrs. Roy Potts, lives on RFD, Waynesville, N. C., and Ev- elyn, Mrs. P. T. Peterson, on Route 3, Box 204, Wilmington, N. C. Please send me a copy of your paper and the list of names if you have them. If you do not, why not make that a goal? I know there was an Alumni Association at one time, but I have been out of touch for many years which is my own fault. We were very much interested in your midget football teams when we got papers that reported their prowess. My good will and thanks are yours for all that Barium has meant to me, for that training has been the leading influence in my life for all of these years and means more than I am able to tell (Continued On Page Two) Dining Room Pictures Given As Memorial The big dining room at Barium Springs is taking on a new life and color because of the beauti- ful pictures which have been hung on the walls. These pictures have been given as a memorial by Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Love Tait in memory of Mr. Tait’s parents, Margaret Elmina Love Tait and Charles Spottiswood Tait of Bruns- wick, Ga. Mrs. Tait, a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Lin- colnton and the teacher of art in that city, was invited to Barium Springs to give advice and help in planning for this project of beautifying the dining room. Many weeks and months were spent in securing pictures of the right size and subjects. When the project was completed Mr. and Mrs. Tait announced that this was a gift to the children of the Home in memory of Mr, Tait’s parents. The Barium family is thoroughly delighted to have the warmth and beauty of color surrounding them at every meal, improving the ap- pearance of the dining room and enriching their souls for eternity. Campus and School News BABY COTTAGE Hello friends, So many things have happened since you heard from us that we don’t know where to begin. First we want to thank every one of you for the most wonder- ful Christmas. Old Santa left us so many nice things. We hope he had plenty for all the little boys and girls every where. We had a beautiful give-to-tree in the dining hall, also Christmas tree in the cottage and we were so happy to see the lights come on Christmas morning and_ see what Old St. Nick left for us. We have been to the show ser- eral times, we enjoy going so much. We also had a Happy Birthday table for December and January. We have lots of new brothers and sisters come to live with us. We have started back to kinder- garten, and it will soon be vaca- tion time and moving up to get ready to start to school, and that really is the biggest day in his- tory, when we walk out of the Baby Cottage to start to school. We have had to stay indoors so much as the weather has been so bad and some have had their their tonsils out and are having to stay close for a little while. Your little friends, —Baby Cottage. RUMPLE RALL Hi Folks, Here we are again, back with the news of our cottage, We got our report cards last week and everyone of us improved some. We had nine girls to make the honor roll. Most of us are going to try to make it next time. We are all looking forward to our next basketball game. Our next game will be with Children’s Home on February 2. Cross your fingers we win! Next week we are going to have the Father and Son Banquet. We are all looking forward to that. We are al) having a good time with our basketball goal some of the men put up for us. Thanks a lot. Well so long for now, look for us next month. —Nellie Sellers. Montgomery’s Will Provides Pipe Organ Plans for the new church at Barium Springs which are now being — can include a pipe organ for 4 sanctuary. The will of the late J. T. Montgomery pro- vides that money left in his will for Barium Springs shall be used “For the purpose of purchasing a memorial pipe organ for the new church to be erected at Ba- rium Springs, to be known as a memorial to J. T. and Mattie Lou Montgomery. I would like for it to be a really good organ and if there is any surplus, after pay- ing for it from the above fund, the excess shall become a_ part of permanent endowment fund of the institution.” Mr. J. T. Mongomery was a hiehly esteemed citizen of States- ville’ and beloved elder of the First Presbyterian Church. His life was a blessing to the com- munity. He loved good music for it inspired his soul, and it lifted him above the trials of the day and strengthened him for his tasks. He also loved Barium Springs, and manifested a great interest in the boys and girls at the Home. In his will he has made provision for that which strength- ened and fortified his soul to af- ford also to the young boys and girls of the campus the same strength that he knew in the beauty of worship through music. The executors of the will in the closing out of the affairs of Mr. Montgomery will make the money available in plenty of time to se- cure for the new building this wonderful instrument for the good of the boys and girls and to the Glory of God. SCHOOL NEWS After our ten day Christmas vacation, we came back to school on January 2nd. The Glee Club is going to Moores- ville the 18th of this month to sing for the 2nd Presbyterian Church. A double sextette and the boys chorus are going to sing at the Fathers and Sons banquet on Thursday night, Feb. 8th. The Beta Club sponsored the March of Dimes in our community. We collected $26.45 from the school and surrounding area. Some of our friends in the Lions Club of Statesville invited the piano students to hear Jerard Jennings, acclaimed America’s greatest child prodigy. This seven year old wonder, gave an amazing- ly good program and we are very grateful for having had the op- portunity to see and hear him.

Ve are really turning out some beautiful dresses and we _ think they are extra nice. Some pajamas we have been making too and they are really nice. If it weren’t for our wonderful supervisors Wwe would never turn out some of the nice clothes that we do. We just must say something a- bout our basketball players. Both of our teams are on top of the South Piedmont Conference and we hope they stay there all through the season. Keep your fingers crossed for all of them. Now for some news about each of our girls here in the sewing room. Marie Andrews has a new hair cut must be for her boy-friend. Looks pretty cute. Ole Powell can take the credit for the way it looks. Why don’t you go into business Powell. Melva writing letters backwards to her boy friend from Charlotte. Now wonder what ole Powell and Johnny are trying to do, keep a secret from the rest of us gals? Shirley has become interested in Statesville again. Can’t imagine why? But we think it’s because of her cute boy friend. Frances’ Stricklin trying to play “Ranzino” and getting forty- five points in one basketbail game. What are you trying to do Fanny? By the way who is Fanny’s red- headed boy friend? Jeanne Turlington wearing her new topper her favorite boy friend Haskell gave her. In about three weeks Jeanne will be an old wo- man on St. Valentines day. Peggy Plyler waving at every Nash that comes by. But the “Church” at Western Carolina is still most important interest. Clara Mangum sending a mighty good looking picture to her favor- ite boy f-':nd. We know it isn’t the hoy in £_lisbury cause that’s off. Now wonder who it could be? Mangum isn’t telling this time. You have heard the latest from the sewing room and the girls who work there. So until next month, take good care of yourselves and be good! The Sewing Room Girls WOMAN’S BUILDING Even though the weather is cold and North Wilkesboro girls froze the ball during the game, both boys and girls came out victorious. The conference games are well on their wav. The next on our schedule is Children’s Home here. “Best of luck big teams!” Just because they are younger than we are lets not forget the future varsity team, which is now the Jr. team. They are showing great progress. Not quite as many on the honor roll this month, guess exams had a great dea] to do with it. But do not worry, reports come out again before long and we hope to have one hundred percent on the honor roll. “Is it possible girls?” Only two Juniors in our build- ing and they can’t wait until grad- uation. Sophomores are eagerly a- waiting the day when they can call themselves Juniors. Freshman girls are really step- ping out in those beautiful blouses they made in Home Ec., with the guidance of their teacher, Mrs. McLuen from Mooresvilie. Last, but not least, the eighth grade girls, we don’t know what we would do without them, they are our Little sisters. We want to welcome our two new members Barbara McCall and Ruby Clark. Glad to have you, and hope your stay at Barium will be as happy as ours is. Seems they are doing some work at the Church, from what I can tell at the present it looks a great deal better. About three weeks ago they ask- ed us to leave a row in chureh vac- ant, and guess what? Not a single visitor has come to occupy those seats yet. “Whats wrong friends?” The Carrom Sct we received is really being uscd now. Even though there js not enough room for everyone to play we enjoy watching others, News is short this month so I guess I will bring this to a close and take up where I left off next month, —Marie Andrews QUADS Hello Friends these are your ace reporters with the latest news from the Quads. Some girls must have told their boy friends that crew hair cuts looked good because its getting to be an epidemic. What came over Joe Barkley lately he is beginning to walk a- round with) that far away look in his eyes. While graduation is coming clos- er, Terral Hall, Paul Barnes, and Ami Lybrand have their eyes on Catawba College, Uncle Sam also has his eyes on them. More power to you boys. At the same time, Mason Traywick, Bob Whiting, and Charles Faircloth are expect- ing a new M-1 rifle in a few months, “free of charge.” After the rush of a big Christ- mas we are just now beginning to settle down to our daily schedule of school, work, sports and play. All of the boys want to take this time to say hello and good bye till next month when your ace report- ers will bring you up to date news, on what goes on at the Quads. —Mason Traywick Palmer Wilcox Billy Black ANNIE LOUISE January has been a fast moving month for us little Annie Louise girls, who spend their time work- ing a little, playing a great deal, and going to many _ basketball games. From all we can understand, we here at Barium are to be the cent- er of activity during a tournament in the middle of February. Seeing the teams and spectators come and go, win and lose, we make many acquaintances for years to come. The birthday table for January was what we term as good food, lots of fun, and plenty of time to take care of both. January wasn’t a very big birthday month. But with new faces seated at the table, it made everything so much more exciting. As faithful as always, our third report cards came out the other week. Everyone h:.d been proimis- ing such and such, until we didn’t know whether we could do all we said. On the same day the report cards came out, some of the music students, both voice and piano, went to Statesville to hear Jerard Jennings present a concert. Since we A. L. C. girls are too small to take music, we were puzzled over the word “prodigy” that our two big sisters used when they talked about the little boy. Some of us without front teeth, pronounced the word “prothigies’, others just couidn’t plain out pronounce it at all! We at least know what it means-even if we can’t say it. Many of us have been asking the question, “How long is it until summer?” The reply, “Just about four more months!” “Yippee-sum- mer is nearly here!” is the respon- se, After all the rain and ice, snow and sleet, who in the world would not shout “Yippee” to summer be- ing only a few months away? Thoughts center around, “only four more months of driving howl- ing wind, and freezing rain, then it’ll be hot!” Some times when it is hot one day and cold the next, we get greatly discouraged. Oh well! its still four more months til summer, Material for our new Activities Building are gradually being load- off huge, red trucks. It will be nice to have it, for we need it very much, Basketball is still our main sport whether it is winter or whatever! we have only one home game in February, much to our rezret! However, we have already seen a number of games- our team winning. Our forwards are so tall that the goal is only a few inches from reach. We lose a good many players this year and the basket next year will look a few feet away instead. Weather permitting we are staying in the house to play with our Christmas things. They’re still in fine condition, and we are try- ing very hard to keep them that way. We must get back to our task of changing our babies diapers, getting them ready for bed, and so forth. Don’t forget to cover up good and come to see us when you can. <mTHO A. ts, ©, GiTks JENNIE GILMER Here we are once again bring- ing you our news. We sure did enjoy the fruit Mr. Stowe Jr. and the toys given to us from Mr. Belk. During the Christmas holidays, Boyce Dean Smith, James Ramsey, Nelson Anderson, Sydney Morrison, Jerry Thomas, Russell Wilson, Ray Smith, Freddie Lentz, Marvin Gar- ris, and John Ferrell had visitors. We want to thank Mr. Sams of Statesville for sending us some movie tickets. Ray and Roy Clark from Mor- ganton came to live with us two weeks ago, and we’re very glad to have them. Good bye until next time. —The Jennie Gilmer Boys. HOWARD Here we are again with our news. ‘The thing that we are think- ing about most is the things we got for Christmas. It was about 6:30 when we got up. When our housemother told us we could get up, we jumped out of bed and ran down stairs. Everybody was so pleased with what they got. It would take a long time to tell what everyone got. We went Christmas shopping the Friday before Christmas. We had 2 dollar to spend on our friends. We wrapped and put them under the Christmas tree. The thing we are thinking about now is our report cards. We all wish to make the honor roll. About half of us did, they are: Ramona Blake, Shelby Peak, Shelby Mc- Iewen, Syvia Wells, Jewell McFar- land, Janet Woodall, Aline Mer- vitte, Lellian Bauecom, and Edna Evans, and Elsie Vest who is working at our cottage. We are all proud of them. The piano pupils got to go toa concert in Statesville. A little boy seven years old, played the piano. His name is Jerard Jennings. We were all amazed at the way he played. Miss Andrews took one of our girls, Sylvia Wells for her Christ- mas present to Charlotte. She spent the afternoon in the dime stores messing around. Then she had her supper and then came home. When Miss Jackson has her day off, Miss Fanshaw comes to work in her place. She brings some scrap cloth and lets us make doll clothes. We have a lot of fun mak- ing them. So long till next month.

Howie, chairman of the Church Building Committee, called a meeting of this com- mitte for the middle of March for the purpose of meting with the architect, Mr. Harold E. Wagoner of Philadelphia. Mr. Wagoner is the architect for the Davidson College Presbyterian Church, and upon his visit to the college also imfudes Barium Springs where he is busy work- ing out the final details for the plans of the new Church here. Two sets of sketches have al- ready been presented and many details have been considered. The purpose of the March meeting was to make final decisions rel- ative to the location and _ inter- ior of the Church. The conim- ittee plans to have everything in readiness so that the n-inute that steel can be obtained the con- tract can be let for the erection of the Church, This building is most urgent needs campus for the congregation each Sunday morning is larger than the present Church can adequately accommodate. Three hundred and fifty wil] fill to overflowing the present audit- orium and therefore the new auditorium is being planned to seat five hundred. This will pro- vide adequate space for the reg- ular congregation, allow for some anticipated growth in vill- age membership, and _ afford space for visiting groups that come for the Church services on Sunday. From the memorial gifts con- tributed in memory of loved ones and from special contributions made prticulary to the Church there is now in hand _ approx- imately two-thirds of the amount necessary for the erection of building. The committee is con- fident that once the work gets underway the people of the Synod wishing to share in it will enable the Home to com- plete the whole edifice and equip the interior without any indeb- tedness upon it. one of the upon _ the Summer Helpers Secured From A. T.S. The Summer relief force for the home will have in its number four students from the General Assembly’s Training School in Richmond, Virginia. These per- sons will serve as relief house- mothers in the cottages and as directors of special activities on the campus. Arriving on June 1st, they will organize and direct, under the leadership of the minister, a ten-day Bible School for the beginners, _ pri- mary, juniors and intermediates. From that they will be able to earry on through the Summer a specialized religious program of activities and also some recrea- tional projects in addition to their living in the cottages with the smaller boys and girls. To have the Assembly’s Train- ing School students and gradu- ates at Barium is not new because already on the campus there are a number who have” graduated there, but the intensified effort for the Summer is different from last year and is to be tried as an experiment. It may be that in Summers to come an unusual program can be developed where- (Continued On Page Three) BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., MARCH 1951 Vest.

The Scotts girls received the trophy and awards for runners-up posi- tion and the Berryhill boys were runners-up in the boys’ division. Third place trophies went to the Brawley and Celeste Henkel girls (Continued On Page Three) Alumni News Mrs. David W. Morris (Anne Fayssoux Jolnston) died sudden- ly at her home in Burlington on Friday December 22, 1950. Anne Fayssoux was born in Lin- colnton but spent most of her life at Barium where her Father, Dr. Joseph B, Johnston was Superin- tendent of the Presbyterian Or- phans Home. Anne Fayssoux grad- uated from Barium Springs High School and Queen’s College in Charlotte, She was active in Col- lege and was May Queen her Sen- ior Year. After graduating from Queens, Anne Fayssoux taught in the city (Continued On Page Two) Treasurer Says February Very Lean It is good indeed that the month of February was short as the in- come for the Home in its opera- tion was very light. The gloom is somewhat dispelled in that it is the hope of the administration that February’s small income means a saving up for the March contributions. At the pressnt time the income has not been sufficiently in- creased to take care of the in- erease in the rise of prices, but with the last month of the year still to be heard from this can be overcome. NO. 5 Basketball Teams Add New Trophies For the second year in a row the girls basketball team brought home the conference champion- ship trophy with a perfect record for the games played. This means that the girls in regular season play and last year’s tour- nament play have not lost a con- test. The schedule for their regu- lar season and the _ resulting scores show the caliber of play necessary to defeat the teams which were engaged, The boys team got off to a good start but ran into some trouble about the middle of the season, losing several games by two points and some by three and one by four. The loss of Buddy Maples, a junior weakened the team in some fashion, and by the time the boys regained their equilibrium the season was over and their record did not show the real quality of the team’s play. The South Piedmont Confer- ence Tournament playing i n Statesville, N. C., found the Ba- rium girls seeded first, going through to the finals, and in that game winning first place in the last game on March 9th. This then brings in the trophy for the showcase in the dining room. The Barium boys given’ very little consideration as conten- ders in the Tournament, started things off right by soundly thrashing the Statesville Grey- hounds. In the second round they came up against the highly favor- ed Kannapolis team which had been picked by many to win the Tournament and were victorious over them by a slender margin. This victory put them in the fin- als against the Asheboro team which had won the Conference championship, and in that final game they won second place and brought home the trophy to be put in with the others. The girls team this year will lose five of its starting players by graduation, while the boys will lese only three seniors from the start ng team. Coach Calhoun will have the job next year o: rebuilding his championship team among the girls and shaping out his boys squad into what he hopes will be another outstanding boys team and one that is capable of winn- ing the championship in the Con- ference Tournament. Large Enrollment Takes All Space The housemothers at Parium Springs are beginning to under- stand the plight of the old wo- man who lived in a shoe. To ac- comodate the 292 children of the Home it is necessary to put up beds in the halls in some of the cottages and to put extra child- ren in some of the rooms in other cottages. Every bed is taken from the Baby Cottage up to the Woman’s Building where the older girls live. It might be possible to arrange for a_ half dozen beds in that building, but rarely if ever are there applica- tions for girls of that age. All that can be done between now and the end of school is just to take the emergency cases where a child has neither food nor shelter and do the best we ean in overcrowding. When Summer rolls around the seniors will be graduating, and re-ad- (Continued On Page Three) PAGE TWO THE BARIUM MESSENGER MARCH 1951 BARIUM MESSENGER Published Monthly by Presbyterian Orphans’ Home REV.

Grading period for this month stopped Feb. 26, and we get our report cards March 5, Judy Bolton and Janet Wood- all have already learned how to ride the bicycle, fourteen others know how to ride. We are all proud of them. Sylvia Wells and Madeline Byrd have recited the Child’s Catechism. Miss Taylor and Miss Jackson took them to the picture show. The name of it was “For Heaven Sakes’”. After they had seen the show they went window shopping. They came home at 9:30 and every- body was in bed when they got home. Mr. Grier will soon be back from Florida. We are all anxious to see him. Mrs. Fanshaw took us on a two mile walk Saturday. We were soon like old women using sticks for our walking canes. We went to the chicken farm. Mrs. Lackey showed us all the chickens. She said there was not quite eight hundred. We saw where they laid their eggs, and where they kept their eggs. We will have more news for you next month, —The Howard Girls.

ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE This is the beginning of March, with pretty weather to mix it up well. Along with the pretty wea- ther as a message of the coming spring, are the brightly colored red and blue birds that wake us up with a cheery note and keep us happy for the rest of the day. Ot- her signs of spring are the buds on shrubbery and trees, and the jonquils peeping out to see how the world looks. Just the other day, we _ little girls gathered up our spades, hoes and what-not to get our start in the flower garden. For those who weren’t with us in our’ cottage last year, the task of gardening was new and adventurous. As long as the weather permits we “busy- bodies” will be out there in the garden when we get the chance. Also, with spring coming, the time is approaching when we will “journey” to the playwoods. We have individual gardens there, and we spend most of our time digging up the seed and planting it in bet- ter looking soil. We are told that won’t do any good, but we hope it will. Not only do we plant flowers in the playwoods, but we also swing and slide, crack nuts, and eat them with candy. Is there any- one who would like to join us? Ever since winter came and brought bad weather, we have been “itching” to go to the spring. Our Saturday-night suppers are even more pleasant by eating sur- rounded by pretty green grass, natural big rocks for seats, and tall trees. Not so very long ago there came to our midst at Annie Louise, two little girls who are out of the fam- ily of four. They are so quiet that we hardly knew what they said the'r names are, but they are Bre- nda Faye and Mary Evelyn Pursly. Brenda is in the fourth grade, and Evelyn is in the first. Every time Evelvn takes a talking spel! she mentions what all she is learning; such as writing, rather printing, and how to read. We are very glad to have these two nice little girls with us even if they are so quiet. Well, well! Guess what the wind is blowing in? Yes, of course, it’s report cards, as usual. We hope spring feverwill keep away from us until we get through with school for this year. But everyday after lunch you can see people on the campus entering school build- ing yawning. Naturally they’ve got their hand over their mouth, but that doesn’t keep them from get- ting drowsy. Speaking of school, everyone in Annie Louise is thinking of May 19th. We’ve been teasing our house mother about having us at home all day long and getting to annoy her even more! In closing we just got to tell you about the two movies we saw dur- ing February. One of them was in tecknicolor called“High Lonesome”, and the second was “For Heavens Sake.” They were both good mov- ies and we really enjoyed them. Until the April showers month, we wish you lots of good luck and loads of fun, —A. L. C. Girls. SEWING ROOM Hello Friends, The sewing room is still buzzing with activities though the short month of February. Although February was a short month, many things have happened. Ihe Howard cottage girls are all sporting new’ dresses, both school and Sunday. The Rumple Hall girls are all receiving new pajamas and the Annie Louise girls are getting some new dress- es. Through March the sewing room department will be extremely busy getting all the new Easter dresses made on time. All the girls are thinking up new ways they can have their dresses made and all you can hear is, “where are the ‘seventeen’s’ today.” Some of us Seniors in the sew- ing room, after months of sacri- ficing bits of money, saved and bought material to make our own Easter outfits. Peggy Plyler made a beautiful dress with the help of our instructors. Clara Mangum is going to look like a doll in her new suit she is making, these girls are both proud of their accomplish- ments, but they would _ readily give their credit to their wonder- ful instructors, who are so willing to give them a helping hand. Speaking of our instructors, we just couldn’t write this news with- out telling you that they gave us a St. Valentines Party, which was very nice and also good. We know all of you are wait- ing for news about each of our girls, so here goes! Marie Andrews, designing and planning her own Easter dress, wonder who she is trying to please, it being red? It couldn’t be Hillard, could it? Shirley Inman receiving air mail letters from Guam and A\l- aska. No one reads them except her. Wonder what kind of military secrets Shirley is getting? Melva Powell still happy about getting her letters from Charlotte and we all know she will look nice in her new navy suit Easter, just for him. Jeanne Turlington seeing more and more of her Studebaker friend. Doesn’t Haskell like navy blue, Jeanne? Wonder why she sent the suit back that she ordered. Anne Willcox having a wonder- ful time at the tournament, spon- soring the Berryhill girls. We know now why she wanted them, “the cute boys they have!” We know your game “Willie”. Peggy Plyler trying to get us girls up at 4:30 o’clock to go to the kitchen instead of 5:30. We know Peggy likes to cook, but please don’t rob us poor working girls of our sleep next time, Peg- gy. Frances Stricklin having a good time at the Statesville-Barium game. Fannie tried to play Ranzi- no again by making 44 points. Keep the good work up Fannie. Clara Mangum, receiving a beautiful box of candy for St. Val- entine’s day. Wonder who gave it to her? Mangum also received the shock of her life the last night of the tournament, when a certain person walked in. How’s it coming Clara? She isn’t saying. All of us had a wonderful time at the tournament and we are rea- lly going to miss it next year. The next time you hear from us, Easter will be over and we won’t have but about a month and two weeks at Barium. But we’ll save all of that “graduation stuff” for next month. Until next month, the best of luck to each and every one of you. The sewing room reporters. —Mangum & Powell WOMAN’S BUILDING Hi Folks, Each of us meets some difficult tasks in life, sometimes I think writing this is mine. But I would like to bring you up to date on our current events. The Mid-Piedmont tournament went off smoothy. Congratulations to the Cool Spring girls and Scotts boys, they came out winners. And we aiso want to say we enjoyed having all of you with us, and hope you can come back next year. The Senior ‘Class is keeping Ammon’s Studio in business here lately. We will let you see what we mean soon. On February 8, we had a ban- quet for the fathers and sons, we enjoyed having each and every- one of you. Senior girls have nearly worn the calendars out counting the days until graduation. “It will pass before you know it, girls.” The Juniors are getting tired of waiting until they can move to the sewing room. “Don’t sew your fingers like we did, Juniors.” Sophomores are all trying to play the graduation march for some reason. All three pianos are going constantly, wish we could find them another one. Freshmen are eagerly awaiting graduation so they can move down stairs. They say the big girls live down there, but I can’t tell the difference. Eighth graders are discussing how long until the new activitics building is finished. We hope it (Continued On Page Three) MARCH 1951 THE BARIUM MESSENGER PAGE THREE Campus and School (Continued From Page Two) won’t be long now, Everyone wishes they could have a_ birthday every month. Guess you folks would to, if you cou.d see the beautiful tables and delicious food on them each month. Well friends, we will close and memor.ze those long poems for English, See you next month. —Marie Andrews. Iredell Teams Win (Continued From Page One) and to the Long Creek and Celeste Henkel boys. The Huntersville girls won the beautiful trophy for having the best-dressed girls team. Janice Henderson of Stony Point received the foul-shooting trophy for making 21 out of 25 shots in the foul-shooting contest, and Da- vid Abernathey of Catawba made 22 to ga'n honors in the boys’ di- vision.

The costumes and characterizations we) wonderful. The wild animals in the circus roved back and forth on the stage, and the little flowers ssraig up out of the flower pots and danced and sang. Villains swept through the community and committed their deeds of crime but justice apprehended them and everything ended in a happy fashion.

Why the Kindergarten class is coming down the walk. Six boys and six girls, all five years old, and their enthusiasm is running away with them. Ring “Miss Airwood’s” door bell and in they come with chubby hands extended in a cluster to be shaken one at a time mid a chorus of “Good Mornings.” The rug has been rolled back in the living room and they bring, each one, his little blue chair placing it in what is meant to be a semi-circle. Af- ter reports of what was seen on the way or who did what or whose “people” came or whose clothing box arrived, we gradually settle to our de- votionals. About fifteen min- utes is used in: Bible story, singing hymns, some of which are accompanied by the rec- ord player (we have a lovely album of Children’s Favorite Hymns), prayers, some indi- vidual sentence prayers, mem- ory verses, and then just talk- ing about something we have read or heard at Church. Refreshment period is next in which fruit, usually a lus- cious apple, or a beverage and cookie is. served. The story period is filled with requests for numerous favorites, but usually a new one is told or read first. Then old favorites may be retold by teacher or child and sometimes dramatized. Looking at story books is an endless delight - “May we look at books?” is a frequent question. With two shelves very well supplied they have an inducement to at them. The pre-primers are easy to read when the total vocabulary is only two words or a few more. The pictures provide the readers with suf- vocabulary, however. look ficient A long table is now brought into the center of the room and the chairs arranged about it for with modeling clay, crayons, pencils, scissors, and paste. Some have learned to write their first names (with only a few letters up- side down or reversed), Work- ing puzzles is a pleasure well provided for. We get an end- less delight from the use of the record player, singing, skipping, marching, and just listening to our records. They play it themselves and enioy selecting their favorite record- ings. ‘Tinker Toys and some other things of interest are in (Continued On Page Two) work Campus News ANNIE LOUISE With Spring in full swing and April showers clearing a path for May flowers, we lit- tle girls are looking forward to barefoot summer days and “one-two-three, here J go” swimming pool days. Anyone would at once realize that we are just as anxious as anyone about getting out of school. Even though our school building and our swim- ming pool are located closely together, we don’t at all mind having three months devoted to swimming. else Our proposed “Activites 3uilding”’ is finally underway. We Annie Louise girls natur- ally don’t know much about it, but we’re always hearing a- bout it when our two big girls get into a conversation. Any- wav, all we know is that one dav we might get to go skat- ing there, and our basket-ball games will be played there. At least we'll get to walk farther when we finally put it into use. At Easter time all our friends begin sending us candy eggs of assorted shapes and sizes. It would be very diffi- cult to write each of our friends and thank them indi- vidually. Here and now we Twenty-Two Join Church Easter Sunday As a part of the regular morning worship on Easter Sunday morning twenty-two persons were presented to the congregation as new members received by the session.

Two young girls, Barbara McCall and and Lena Mclean, who have come to the Home during the year were re- ceived upon reaffirmation of their faith and three boys, Harold Evans, Merton Cox, and Duke Spear, were re- ceived from the churehes in the communities from which they have come. Mrs. Martha H. Ramsay from Durham, N. C. was pre- sented to the congregation as a new member having moved her letter from the ‘Trinity Avenue Presbyterian ‘Church in Durham. Mrs. Ramsay is a new member of the statf and is at the present time house- mother at Synod Cottage with twenty-four little boys under her care. Easter Rabbit Visits Barium There really is an Easter Rabbit. He came to Barium Springs on Saturday morn- ing before Easter and if the pecan orchard is over run by rabbits next summer it will not be because any of the Fas- ter eggs were left there. The 120 hunters diligently search- ed every hill and cranny bring- ing out beautiful eggs of all colors - real rabbit eggs. From the youngest child, Nancy Spencer, who is one and one- half years old, to the oldest - those of the fifth grade, there was utmost delight at the sight of the eggs. The Sunday School teach- ers with Reverend and Mrs. Charles Sides later served chocolate milk and candy eggs to the group. would like to thank you for the candy, and we appreciate it very much, Humm, it is good! aster morning was the fi- nal showing of a week’s pre- paration for this occasion.

Even if we have to say so ourselves, we certainly looked nice in our light colored sweaters and matching dresses and socks. Kither on Easter or a few davs thereafter, some of our folks and relatives came to see us. Most of them were old friends and some of them were paying their first visit to Ba- rium. We are always glad to see them, which isn’t too often for us. Our pride and joy has just been completed and_ given. Well, perhaps some of you re- member the operetta we men- tioned last month. It is our “pride and joy’, and we are all pleased about it going over so well. Some of us at A. L- C. were leading characters others of us played the part of roses or daisies and danced to a timely tune. Then there were some who were clowns, and looked and acted their part exactly. It took a great deal of work, making over 150 boys and girls get together, and our teachers took on an extra task, which was extra difficult. We hope they, as well as us, feel a deep satisfaction from such a satisfactory play. April showers are beginning to be plentiful, so our May flowers ought to be plentiful, too. We are ready to start out on our adventure of the sum- mer entitled, “Weeds”. If all this rain doesn’t help all our flowers, we at least feel for sure that we'll have a job of weeds. All in all, life is sweet and full of unex»vected things, even if we might have more weeds than flowers. So we journey on - waiting for Spring fever to pass and our classes pass and we pass our grades. Perhans by next month we will be over our fever and can be called “The Busy Bodies”. In the meantime don’t let it get you, or you'll be like us. With lazy thoughts, we will speed up our pace to be with next month. The Spring Fever Victims vou BABY COTTAGE It hasn’t been so long since you last heard from the babies although some of us are not babies now, as some are all of six years old. T. T. six just before Christmas and I heard her telling her house- mother, “I’m an old lady now I can get married, and my teeth are almost gone. She and Linda Lee go around showing where their teeth were — but are just a wide space now. Some of the boys have kept up with the girls losing teeth. Lots of good things have happened to us. We went to the movies but can’t remem- ber the name of the picture’ but oh what a nice ride in the big yellow bus. We all love to see it parked at the baby cot- tage for we know we are go- ing to get to ride. Was We had a very plesant sur- prise a few Sundays ago when our former Nurse, Miss Nan- cy Hoots, spent Sunday after- noon and night with us. Mon- day was “Mama Richards’ ” day away from us chatter boxes so she took Miss Hoots with her, and went to Statesville. One little girl said, “Oh Miss Hoots tum back with ‘Mama _ Rich- ards’ tause we love you.” We are always playing hospital and dentist. Last Friday Mrs. Williams from Charlotte came to see us in time for an Easter egg hunt; she helped us find the eggs the bunny left for us. Little Larry had her by the hand and looked up and _ said, “T just can’t find where the bunny left them eggs.” The aster bunny was good and after we found all those eggs and candy we were so full we didn’t want any supper, al- though none of us got sick. The boys’ housemother, Mrs. Nelson, missed all the fun here, but she had a won- derful time aster week-end; she spent it in Charleston, 5. C. and went to the Sun Rise Service. We remember part of a picture we saw last year, the name was Prince of Peace. Mrs. Sides and Mrs. Arro- wood also gave us a nice party Saturday with eggs, chocolate milk, candy, oh! they and everyone have been wonderful to us. You should have seen our pretty little pins we wore on Sunday to Sunday school and church. Thanks, Miss Car- penter. Our big sisters are anxious for school to close, and we are too because after that it’s al- most time to go swimming, and we like that. In the mean- time we are having fun in the kindergarten, with Mrs. Arro- wood who’s a very nice teach- er and we all like her a whole lot. This is ali the news, anyhow we can’t think of any so we will sign off until next time. WOMANS BUILDING Once again | have received word to let you in on our cur- rent events. I would like, if possible, to tell you how nice everyone looked in their new dresses and beautiful corsages. Also, to say to the instructors and the girls in the sewing room, “we thank you.” Three of the Senior girls had a voice recital, and not only did they sing wonderfully, but they looked beautiful with those lovely bouquets. We were glad to have one of our former matrons spend Kaster with us. \lso we would like to say we were glad to have all the visitors came up, and went to church with us Sunday. The Seniors are busy plan- ning and getting every-thing for gradulation. and making out their lists of friends and who loved ones they would like to invite up graduation. Whats this we hear about the Juniors making evening dresses. We know they will look like dolls 2t the Jr., Sen- ior banquet, which they are working so hard on. Sophomores are still sitting and looking pretty, as they have nothing to worry about. Freshmen are going on a diet when it comes to eating in the dining room. No won- der they are busy working and eating in Home Ec. Kight graders, are really practicing how they are going to walk up and receive their diplomas at graduation. Make sure you get the right ones friends. Marie Andrews SEWING ROOM The Sewing room was really hustling and bustling all through the month of March. Every afternoon after school, we Seniors were busy at our machines, working very hard to get out the dresses before Kvaster. When the last dress went out, all of us let out a sigh ot reliei, The girls looked so nice aster morning that — the sight was almost breath-tak- ing. aster Sunday was so very beautiful. And the people on the campus looked so nice. Was it any wonder that every- one was happy? We Seniors were especially proud of ourselves, because most of us had bought, select- ed, and niade our own dresses with help of our instructors. Marie Andrews had a birth- day, and she being sweet nine- teen, we had a nice birthday party. Man, we just think our instructors are the best you will find anywhere and we really appreciate them, and what they do for us. Since everyone of you are patiently waiting to hear something about each of our girls, | won't keep you waiting another minute. [ honestly think ole Frances played “Ranzino” in the tour- nament. We plaved Statesville the lact night and beat them 56 to 79. Stricklin made 56 points which was the highest score made by anyone in the tournament. She was also picled for the all tournament team by the coaches. Marie Andrews really rates around this place. She got two corsages for Easter and she really looked nice in her toma- to red dress she made. Shirley Inman is. still re- ceiving air mail from over- seas. She even gets pictures too. Lucky girl to be getting mail from two “friends.” Peggy Plyler looked too good . Master for “Church,” not to see her. But for the benefit of him, Ill just say, she looked wonderful. You never see ole Powell after work because, you guessed it, she is always at the mail box waiting to see if that certain letter came. That blue suit Melva had on Easter surely did look nice. Too bad “You know ‘wio’ ~ wasnt here. Jeanne Turlington — spent the week-end before Easter in Clinton, N. C. She brought back a beautiful white suit, and to top everything off real nice, Haskell gave her an or- chid for Easter. Clara Mangum, and Anne Willcox were invited to spend a week-end with some friends at Berryhill. They came back with such wonderful reports about their week-end that all of us wish we could have gone.

Willard McCall and Fred Cole will ush- er and Ray Norman will be best man. Mrs. Fred Cole will be one of the bridesmaids. Wallace and Birdie Twom- bly moved into their new home in Troutman recently. THE KINDERGARTEN (Continued From Page One) our toy wagon (cowboy pis- tols, whistles, balls, etc.) The color book industry ought to be one of the most thriving in the country. Never are they interested in drawing originals when a color book is in sight. However, the color books dis- appear sometimes and then the rebirth of modern art and real- ism begins. With a little in- terpretation from the artist one can see a_ whole © story grow upon paper. Indoor games are always welcome when the weather is cold. Some of the favorite games are “Going to Jerusa- lem,’’ “Fruit Basket,” and “Feathers”. When the weath- er permits we go out of doors for the last half hour or more to play or take a walk. The slogan “every man for himself” seems to be most prominent in five-year olds. Embryonic team work can be discovered with some prodding in the older ones. My place as a Kindergarten teacher may be compared to what is sometimes unjustly said of grandmothers and aunts: they Jove them and are loved by them, but when they are ready they send them back to mother. So little a thing may bring a burst of unexpect- ed delight and pleasure from a five-year old that one must be on guard lest his vanity should begin to rise to the front. Our hats are off to the house mothers who are at the helm twenty-four hours a day. REGULAR CLOTHING FUNDS Women of Tenth Ave. RE ives aie ceeie ckcectu tenn 25.00 Wilmington Ist S.

C., MAY 1951 Nineteen Seniors To Graduate It is a woman's world in the senior class this vear as they outnumber the boys 13 girls to 6 bovs. Nevertheless, these hoys have struggled hard to keep even with the girls through the years at Barium. All of the boys and nine of the girls are students of the Home. Two of the senior girls are children of staff members. Clara Mangum has — spent the longest time in the Home. a little more than fifteen and one-half years, while Louise Surles has been here less time than any other with a little ov- er six and one-half years. The total time spent in the Home by the six boys and eleven girls is more than 179 years, which in turn is more than 65,000 days at Barium Springs. While some of these 65,000 days have been happier than others, yet all of them have heen good; each graduating boy and girl stands out as a credit to the institution and offers real hopes for citizen- ship in the world in which they move. Out of the total class at the present time ten plan to do further study, three plan to go into nurses’ training school and the remainder will seek employment of their choice. This good group of citizens now Icaving Barium Springs will make room for some oth- er children to be admitted and so the cycle goes on. Activities Building Is Going Up steel beams the foundations and brick and Massive span mortar are being put togeth- er to ring the Activities Building about one third of the way toward completion. Brick masons have the wall up to the first floor and as soon as the Flexicore con- crete has been placed and lev- eled off they will start their work again. There is just a vague pos- sibility that there might be a skating party in that building on the Fourth of July. No real hopes are held out for that yet because it is impossi- ble to determine to what ex- tent the contractor will be able to get together the nec- essary materials and labor. There will certainly be a dedication during the summer months if the final funds can be found for the payment. At least the building will be ready for use and the children will begin their happy play... Cottage News WOMAN’S BUILDING We, the Senior girls, would ike to express our deep ap- preciation to our housemothers and to each and every one of you who have made it possible for us to be here. We gradu- ate and leave with memories of this our Barium home, and the many wonderful times we have had, packed in our hearts Where they shall remain. Libby Twombly, our mascot, had the Seniors out to a won- derful supper and a delight- ful dance. “We had a wonder- ful time, Libby.” This being my last time writing this news [| would like to say, | have enjoyed it and | hope someone else will take up where [ leave off. It seems as though we hear “Sermons” in the air, not Rev. Sides’ either. We Seniors are having the pleasure of preach- ing our ten minute sermons, which you might say, are re- quired to graduate. Most of us have already finished and are now looking for an open pulpit or maybe we should just say pit! No matter which we say you would consider them good work if you could have heard them. Juniors are busy as bees getting ready for the Junior- Senior banquet. “Best of luck, Juniors”, We were glad to have the members of the Survey Com- mittee from the State Board of Hducation visit us in our school a few days ago. We were delighted to have a number of men from the First Presbyterian Church in Greensboro with us, and we hope more of you will come. We are all looking forward to seeing you on graduation which is May 21. So friends come on up, there’s always room for one more. Well friends I have enjoyed writing this, but now I just say so-long. —Marie Andrews. JENNIE GILMER Hi Kverybody, It’s awfully hard to keep our thoughts tuned to school and work with such wonder- ful weather beckoning us out. We want to lie in the sun or go exploring in the fresh green woodlands. We long to see the first scrubbing and to kick off our shoes and run barefoot a- gain. We are happy to report that in spite of spring fever, we have some honor roll students and a good many improved re- port cards. We want to thank all the people in Statesville who were responsible for letting us see the play “Cinderella”. we cer- (Continued On Page Two) No. 7 The Junior-Senior Festive Occasion made Fri- memorable enjors and The Junior cla day, May 4th, occasion for the the invited guests as they stag- ed the Junior-Senior banquet in the dining room at Rumple Hall. The Navy motif was used throughout. The tables were arranged in the shape of a big anchor and _ nets, trappings, port holes, and ship regalia were so attractively arranged that one almost felt the sea breeze blowing through the dining room, The Sophomore gobs and deck mates dressed in Navy colors served the table. The guest singer, Jack Mills, chose for his songs those appropriate to the sea and Navy life. Lou- ise Campbell, presiding in the absence of the class president, Charles Stevens, was most gracious in her presentation of the persons on the program and in giving toasts to the senior class. One of the high- lights of the evening was the appearance of Dr. and Mrs. Joseph B. Johnston and Dr. Joe’s tale about his visit to the Mitchell campus and the pretty girls and the mocking bird. The evening in the dining room was concluded with and inspirational address by Rev- erend J. B. Hurley, Associate Pastor of the First Metho- dist Church in Charlotte, who was introduced by Mrs. Melba McLuen, teacher in charge. SCHOOL NEWS So many things have been happening in our school for the past two months that I am going to put them in chron- ological order. April 5 - We Seniors were invited to Mitchell College for Career Day, as were all the other surrounding schools. There were classes offered in different vocations, and you could attend two of your choice. Entertainment was provided by some of the Mit- chell students who presented “He Couldn’t Marry Five,,, a very, funny play. We had a grand time and learned a lot. April 26 - All the grades from the seventh upward were invited to Garden Valley locat- ed eleven miles from States- ville. The seventh grade went in the morning, and the others went that afternoon. We spent around two hours in this love- ly spot surrounded by thou- sands of azalea blooms. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Twombly, parents of our mas- cot, Libby Twombly, invited the Senior Class to a dinner party at Biltmore’s. We had a dance afterward, It was a Alumni News Mrs. Glenn’ Moore (Alice lord) of Canton was a visitor on the campus.

WBT Artists Entertain Children Fred “Atomic Power” Kir- by, Jack “Bow Fiddle” Pas- cal and “Fiddling Hank” thrill- ed the boys and girls as they came to the campus for an performance. Mr, George Harris of the Myers evening’s Park Presbyterian Church to- gether with the Men of the Church had made the arrange- ments and he came along with the team, bringing six other men with him from the class. For more than an hour these artists delighted the children with their singing and play- ing and pranks and fun. The program was concluded by giving every child a picture of Fred Kirby and present- ing citizenship papers as mem- bers of Tiny Town, U. S. A. The children left the build- ing with their citizenship pa- pers in one hand and Fred Kirby’s picture in the other and a mouthful of bubble gum and the memory of a wonder- ful evening lingering in their mind, PAGE TWO THE BARIUM MESSENGER MAY 195?

The next time you hear from us, school will be out and our thoughts will turn to- ward our summer vacations. So long til then. —-Jennie Gilmer Boys LAUNDRY NEWS It’s been quite some time since you've heard from us, so this month we've lots of things to talk about. Of course our main interest right now is the forthcoming commencement exercises which are just two weeks off. The seniors are especially ex- cited and busy, doing last min- ute tasks and preparing to leave. We've enjoyed yous friendship, seniors, and are going to miss you all, even ’ole Traywick. Along with the excitement of school closing, the laundry girls are thinking of all the work we'll have to do after our help leaves for summer vacations. We’re going to miss you too, so hurry back! Now to turn the spotlight on a few of our girls. Ethel Brotherton, one of our faith- ful workers, will leave us soon to go upstairs to the sewing room, since she is a rising sen- ior. By the way, Ethel was sporting a new evening dress at the Junior-Senior banquet held recently and we all have to agree she was a knockout! Any hour of the afternoon you can find Shirley Plyler and Martha Nell over at the Snack Bar with an armful of puppies. Seems like they just can’t re- sist them, so ail you puppies beware. Shirley Hollifield is trying desperately to find a new hair style. It must be for someone special, eh Shirley ? Recently Barbara Bradshaw has become a regujar hillbilly fan since one of the carpenters at the new gym is an almost perfect replica of Roy Acuff. Margaret Hopkins compet- ing with best beau for skating championship. Give up, Mar- garet you haven’t got a chance. See you again next month friends, with more news. —Hazel Creech. NOTICE!

The unmistakable evidence of His presence upon the campus has been manifest to all. We, there- fore, acknowledge Him, our Heavenly Father, as Sovereign over us and dedicate our lives anew to His service in the work of the Home. The first item then to be con- sidered is administration. A full year’s working together is bringing the m@mbers of the administrative force in the office to a better understand- ing of each other. A reason- able harmony has existed in the planning and executing of the affairs of the institution. In some of the re-organization anticipated it is hoped that the loose ends of administration may be brought together and that this section of the Home may operate with greater ef- ficiency. The acomplishments of the year within the realm of house- hold are amazing in the light of the facts which exist. We have had a capacity load of children and have been under- staffed and the staff has been underpaid. All the = workers have toiled diligently and long, going the second mile almost every day. The children of the Home have responded beauti- fully to the crowded condi- tions, and the irritations that naturally exist from pressures have been at a minimum. | am convinced that the most important person on the cam- pus is the houseparent. This person is responsible for the child twenty-four hours a day. With the minimum salary of $80.00 a month, and a maximum of $110.00, plus room and board, it has been impossible to se- cure additional persons who are qualified for this impor- tant work. To put an unquali- fied person in charge of a het- erogeneous group, ranging in number from twenty to thirty, is utterly incomprehensible. Frictions arise and damages are done. It is, therefore, in- dispensable that consideration be given to the houseparent, and that the salary scale be provided that will enable the administration to reinforce the staff with capable and com- petent persons when additions are made. The practice of housing personnel other than houseparents in the building with the children is very un- (Continued On Page Two) This is how the children looked with Fred Kirby presenting citizenship papers to Tiny Town when the men of the Myers Park Church brought entertainers from station WBT to the campus, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Gray Receive Alumni Medal Mr. and Mrs. James P. Gray whose home is on the Wilkesboro road, made history at the Barium Springs High School commencement Monday evening, just as they made history at the Barium Home some 30 odd years ago when they were married, the first boy and girl to step out from the Home as life partners. Mrs. Gray is the tormer Miss Annie Hartsell, a gradu- ate of Barium with the class of 1914. Mr. Gray, news editor with The Statesville Daily and The Landmark, was with the class of 1913. They were married in Little Joe’s church at Barium on Au- gust 18, 1915. For the past 31 years they have lived in States- ville. Monday evening their mar- ried life, their family life, their church and community life were given the highest recog- nition that Barium makes, the Ace Alumni award. It was a history-making award because for the first time, it went to a husband-wife couple. Hereto- fore it has been awarded to an individual only. High tribute was paid to Mr. and Mrs. Gray for the home they have established, for the influence of that home, for their own daily life, for the training of their children, for their service in church and Honor Roll For Year First Grade—Charles Don- aldson, Pamela Fair, Jo Ann Jackins, Eddie Kyles, Patsy Porter, Mary Lettie Ramey.

We have been letting the seniors and juniors have first place in our paper for the last month. Now we are ready to tell you how much we have enjoyed the campus activites. The sen- ior play was enjoyed so very much. We don’t think we have told you about having Fred Kirby with us and that was very delightful. School is out and ten of our eighth graders have moved to Womans Build- ing and eight of the Howard girls have moved to our cot- age. We are missing our eighth graders very much. But hope they will be very happy at the Womans Building. We are happy to have our new girls. Hope they are going to be happy with us. Rumple Hall has had some visitors this past week, Mrs. John M. Wells, little Johnny and Glenn from Charlotte, N. C., Margaret Carpenter, from: Rutherford- ton, Mr. and Mrs. Dellard and little girl from York, S. C. We were very happy to have them. We have a lot of new faces on the campus now. We have not learned them all yet, but I am sure we will know them well for they are to teach us in Bible School. We are looking forward to that. Some will be house mothers for vacation. Our swimming poo} has not opened yet but we hope it will soon. “Just can’t wait’, the weather is getting so warm. We received two beautiful bolts of material from our friend in Wilmington, N. C. Thanks so very much friends, We know we are going to be proud of our rooms for we are to have new curtains. Guess this is all for this time. —Barbara Melton Peggy Cox LEES COTTAGE Dear Friends, We are still around if you haven’t been hearing from us.

We are glad to have them. We got our typhoid shots May 29th, but it didn’t hurt much. We'll month. can go write again next —Douglas Byrd Richard Blackburn SYNODS COTTAGE Many changes have come to us with the ending of the school year. Of our household four made the honor roll: Barbara McCall, Douglas Byrd, John Bolton, and Henry Harris. We are so proud of them. Douglas, along with Graham Blake, Billie Harrison, Alton Bass and Jimmie Harris were promoted to the Fourth grade. The first four have moved to Lees and are having their desire to help on the farm fulfilled. Our big sisters, Mary Fran- ces Price and Hilda Barnes will be seniors this fall so they are now living at the Woman’s Building and stitching away at the sewing room. We miss them very much, but Louise Bradshaw and Barbara McCall are winning the hearts of all the little boys. Last week, Freddie and Don- nie Gillespie went home to live with their mother. A message from them says they are very happy. Last, but not least our cot- tage is having its face lifted this summer. Next Monday, before painting begins, our family is going underground. We'll be out of sight but not out of hearing, in the basement of the Woman’s Building, at the gracious invitation of Mrs. Gresham. On the Fourth of July, What a homecoming!, We hone! INFIRMARY NEWS Hello Folks, Things have really been hap- pening since you last heard from us, The mighty seniors, Louise Campbell and Elmina Johnson decided that they lik- ed the \Voman’s Building bet- ter so they moved over there. Louise is now working in the Snack Bar and Elmina is work- ing in the sewing room. Iinda Inman and Lois Dellinger moved here from the Woman’s 3uilding and we are very glad to have them. The seniors are sponsoring a square dance tonight in the auditorium and we all expect to have a big time. Two of our girls, Linda and Pattie Inman were on the hon- or roll for the last report per- iod and Jane Feimster only missed it by one S-. We really had a busy day Tuesday, the 29th. Two nurses from the health department came down and they and Miss Fleming gave us all typhoid shots. You should have seen everyone going around nursing sore arms the next day. Right now, everyone is ex- cited about vacations. TL inda and Pattie are going July 10, and Jane and [ois are going July: 31. Look for us again next month and we will have some more news for you. —The Little Nurses -attie, Jane, Linda, and Lois. SEWING ROOM With commencement over, tears shed, and moving from building to building completed, the new, bright seniors have taken up their positions in the sewing room. So far we senior girls have not sewed our fingers. This statment is far, far better than what the former seniors did at the beginning of their sewing career. Many of you people don’t know us at all, or anything about our experences, which apparently begin in the sew- ing room. Therefore, we’ll try to hep you up to some “inter- esting” news. Ethel Brotherton is _ still talking about her good friend who has finally arrived. From the moment Ann Willcox wrote to say she was planning a visit, all Ethel could talk about was Ann’s coming. Now that she is here, the “parrot” is tell- ing us that her friend is here every five minutes. As for the rest of us, we like our friends to come back for visits. We aren’t used to being seniors yet and we'd like to get a few pointers from the “former graduates.” Through- out the summer we hope that many of them will come back to get a free meal off the home. Familiar quotes around the place now are established as, “What next to sew?” answer, “Pajamas of course.” “Can I have my dress now?” “Where in the world is that old elas- tic?” Mrs. Smith, my machine needle broke,” ‘Mrs. Smith, my belt came off!” Whew! what a life!” says Mrs. Smith. One of Caroline Wicker’s aunts sent her some material to make some dresses. Evi- dently her aunt thought Caro- line an expert with one week’s work. All that is left to say is that “boy, we sure would love to have that aunt.” “When am I going to hear from Mason?” cries Mary Frances Price?” An optim- mistic reply sounds like this: “Never be discouraged.” At long last the “little princess” (as Mason calls her) has heard from her man. Harry S. Tru- man will probably get eaten out of the White House and Blair House. Don’t starve Ma- son and Doc in Washington. “Whose going to lie in the sun this afternoon?” yells blonde Elmina Johnson. No one replies since EKlmina’s pace is too, too fast for the rest of us; so energetic “Elminie” trots off to the back yard to add another layer (thin layer) of tan. Hilda Barnes is getting to be a regular Doris Day. Kven though she has always been bashful before, she sure is tun- ing up her vocal cords to ser- enade John Whiting. The “Honest Abe” of the class is now putting her trust- worthiness to work. Yes, Lou- ise Campbell has to depart from the sewing room to take up another task of selling-and eating - popcicles and candy. We certainly do miss her, but she’s just across the road. Sara Bradshaw, who is al- ways in a hurry with her sew- ing, has been asking her neigh- bors for a razor blade just a- bout every day. Don’t worry she isn’t cutting herself, only the material. Besides ripping, her poor fingers are getting stuck full of holes. Without Sara our motto, “As we sew, so shall we rip”, would not be very effective. Last but not least is the short, blonde Bonnie Lou Od- om vs. “Lucifer.” Heart breaks seem to be in full swing for old Lucifer, but there is a sail- or in Florida who is still get- ting and sending letters. What won't happen to Bonnie next? When next month rolls a- round look for our news in the same place and at the same time. We'll be good if you all will. —The Seniors of 1952 ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE Hi Folks, Well, here we are again and we've got lots of news to tell you. Our most important news we think is that school is out and we all passed our grades. We had eight small girls and one of our big sisters on the honor roll. They were Nancy Joyner, Nancy Mobley, Mary Lettie Ramey, Patsy Porter, Pamela Fair, Christine Clark, Judy Taylor, Sue Moore and Hazel Creech. Since you last heard from us, six of our girls have mov- ed to live with the larger girls. They were replaced by Linda Byrd, Diana Mobley, Mae Ramey, Teresa Taylor, Susie Blackburn, and Peggy Bridges ; all from the Baby Cottage. We are very happy to have them and hope they like their new home. We also have a new big sister, Hazel Creech She likes her new home and is very fond of playing with us. (Continued On Page Three) JUNE 1951 THE BARIUM MESSENGER PAGE THREE The Messenger Will Not Be Published In July Campus News (Continued From Page Two) We've seen two good mov- ies recently. Thev were Lassie in “Painted Hills” and “Rocky Mountain.” These _ pictures were very entertaining and we all enioyved them. To the nineteen seniors who graduated recently, we'd like to say we miss you all; so hurry back to see us soon. Vacation Bible School starts next Monday and is lasting two weeks this year instead of one. It’s so much different from our other school that we are looking forward to it with eagerness. Our real vacations start on July 10 and that is when most of us will go. We enjoy going home but always look forward to returning. We'll be with you again next month so until then; so long, it’s been good to know you. —A, 1. C. Girls HOWARD COTTAGE Hi Folks, We are glad that we have six new girls, who moved from Annie Louise, at our cot- tage. They are Lois Ramey, Clara Dean Byrd, Donnie Lew- is, Carol Moore, Brenda Purs- ley, and Catherine Reich. When moving started we were lucky to be given a big sister. We were glad it was Margaret Hopkins, since we all like her very much. Since riding the bike is the thing we like to do most at our cottage, we want every- one to know how to ride. Of all the girls who moved over here, Brenda Pursley is the only one who knew how to ride but, we have already taught Carol Moore how to ride. We went to see a movie last week. The name of it was “Tassie and the Painted Hills.” We all liked it. Nancy Ferrell, Kay Clark, and Betty Ruth Anderson all made the honor roll the last six weeks for the first time this year. We are proud of them. Miss Margaret Hall of Statesville sent us some re- cords. We enjoy listening to them a great deal. —The Bean Stringers CLOTHING FUND May Receipts Women of Shelby Church .. 20.00 Armstrong S.

The whole campus had been in a state of nervous excitement because vacation time was coming. July 10th saw half of the children of the Home boarding buses and trains and traveling by car to uncles and aunts and grandparents and other relatives. For weeks this had been the topic of conversa- tion. Miss Rebekah Carpenter, the case worker, had been busy securing a written request and permission from home; Mr. ie ah back to Lowrance had been getting suitcases, and housemothers had heen mending, sewing, cleaning and packing in prep- aration for two weeks away from the campus. While the first group was away the others stayed to take care of the necessary du- ties. Then on the morning of July 3lst their great day had come and they, too, made their way to the various parts of (Continued On Page Three) Caravan Visits Campus Ten Days A Caravan Team sponsored by the Synod’s Council arriv- ed on the campus the last day of June and spent the next ten days working with the Presbyterian Youth Fellow- ship and the Council. This groun was under the direction of Miss Eleanor Godfrey of Winston-Salem and the. stu- dent members of the Caravan Team were Peggy Crowe from Wilmington, Dora Lee Wiley from Norwood, Tommy Hall from St. Pauls, and How- ard White from Dunn. The Caravaners spent each morn- ing visiting and working with the various groups on_ the campus. The afternoon was given over to the study and evaluation and special train- ing. The early evening and night was given over to wor- ship, study and recreation in which the whole group par- ticipated. The Youth Fellowship will perhaps count this as the high- light of the Summer’s _ pro- gram. Not only was it fun, but it was also a very valuable period in preparation for the remainder of the Summer and the Winter’s program. These Caravaners made themselves a permanent place upon the campus and they do not need an invitation - all they have to do is just come back home. Tommy Hall might wish to return though only in the Winter when there are no beans to pick.

She graduated from the Mooresville High School as valedictorian of her class and then took her special training at Mitchell College in the accounting department. During her college days she distinguished herself in her records and gave evidence of her ability in her chosen field. For nearly five years she ser- ved in the office of the Sup- erintendent of the Tredell County Schools as the book- keener.

Ferguson Writes of Former Days I am enclosing $1.00 for which please mail me the Ba- rium Messenger as long as this will take care of. One of the boys sent me a copy of the issue in which Mrs. W.

It is possible she has not visited your lovely and good Home since leaving.

It was really hard to believe it could have been made into al- most a Heaven compared to the days of fifty-two years or so ago. It is really beautiful and wonderful.

The half of the girls who haven't gone on their vaca- tions are keeping the old laundry open. The washer still boils over when Edna Baucom won’t keep on the job. The mangle is running well. We have some girls working over there that are new on the job. Of course, Mrs. Neel guides the clothes through. Have you been wondering why the cloth- es have been ironed better this month? When the sewing room closed Ethel Brotherton came back to her old job of ironing. Of course she has some very capable helpers. Jackie Port- erfield and Jacqueline Kuyken- dall. Next week the ones haven't gone will go on varations, and the ones are gone now will come back to take over our work. But we hope they have had as good a time as we know we _ shall have. When you come to visit our campus you are always wel- come in the laundrv. Take good care of your sel- ves and we'll trv to take good care of the laundry. —Shirley Plyler. that their that Jennie Gilmer Hi Folks, This is the Jennie Gilmer Boys. We are having a fine time these days as vacation time is kere. Vacation time is split this year as half of the boys went July 10th and the other half will go July 3ist. The boys that went Julyl0th have already ceturned and all reported an enjoyable time. Some went ‘o the beach while others went on sight- seeing trips to the mountains and large cities; still otiners spent a lazy two weeks at home. We are real glad to have them all back and we also hope that the boys that ~- on the 31st will have an enjoyable time. We boys are not the only ones vacating this month. Ralph Spencer and his famil lett July 21, for two weeks in Florida. We hope they their well earned rest. Football practice is supposed to start in about three weeks and everyone is looking for- ward to it. Meanwhile we are enjoying ourselves in the swimming ,ool which feels mighty good these hot days. —Jennie Gilmer Boys. enje d\ Synods We are now back home af- ter spending a month in the basement of the Woman's Building, while our cottage had its face hited. Mrs. Ramsay, our matron, is away on her vacation and we have “Miss Jackie” with us for a while. We call “Miss Jackie, Mla inettle.”” We miss Mrs. Ramsay and we all wish her a happy vacation. Our big sister, Barbara Mc- Call and ten of our boys went home on July 10th for a va- cation. Louise Bradshaw and 8 of our boys go on vacation July 31. Vacation time is very ex- citing. The swimming pool is now open and we had quite a day on July 4. Jimmy Morris won the “belly whopper” contest, Jimmy Harris won a diving contest, and John Bolton won one too. We've had a casualty, Earl Corbett decided to climb the football goal post and it broke and so did Karl’s arm. Earl is at home but his arm is still i A caet. Jimmy Harris moved to Lees Cottage and we have a new boy with us, Stanley Muse from Durham, N. C. Stanley is quite a fellow even if he does have red hair. We have been busy too, for we asked that we be given beans to string and break. Be- lieve it or not, but we enjoyed working. Last, but not least, we’ve en- joyed going down to the spring for picnic suppers on Saturday night. We like to go on waiks. Look for us again next month. Annie Louise Well, here we are again busier than ever. We’ve had a lot to do lately with about half of us on our vacation from July 10th until the 26th. The rest of us are going the 3lst. We can’t wait until the dav finally rolls around, neither can we wait for the day to come back. We don’t know when we’re happier. going or coming. One of our treats lately was when we saw “Bed- time for Bozo” and “Ma and Pa Kettle on the Farm”, They were real funny and we enjoy- ed them very much. We had a very good time the 4th of July. We entered swimming contests. ate water melon and played in the rain. The ones that have come from their vacations are very busy telling about the moun- tains, beach and home, which makes us more eaver. We have lots of work to do now that only half of us are here. We like that very much. We like to mop the floor and clean up our play room and kindergarten. When we go home we are going to help our people a lot. \ will have a lot to tell you next time we excited for will be sO school to Start. One of our big sisters, Ha- zel Creech went home to stay.

Ferguson Summary of the Year’s Work From (Continued June Issue) The regular annual plivsi- cal examination has been held and the student body seen to be in good general hea!th. Where there have been specific items listed by the doctors we are taking steps to have these attended to. The doctor at Troutman, the local infirmary supervised by the nurse, and the Davis Hospital with its complete staff serve the stu- dents well. We are very much behind in our dental program. Conferences have been — held with the dentist in Statesville who is doing the work. Ways and means of catching up with the bac work and providing for everyday individual care is in process of being arranged for. At present we are taking care of all the emergencies, but we need to do more than that. The following figures from the case worker's office show some of the work done in the health department: 279 children were given a complete physical examination, 51 children were given a T B Skin Test, 37 children were given Parasite Tests, 42 chil- dren were given Wasserman Tests, 22 Tonsilectomies, 279 Typhoid Shots, 7 Appendec- tomies, 271 Teeth were filled - all children were screened by the dentist and emergency work done, 81 Extractions, 20 Refractions, 5 children taken to the Orthopedic Clintic, 15 were immunized against meas- les. The school has had 285 stu- dents, 200 in the Elementary School and 85 in the High School. The school comes the nearest to being a department within the organization that we have. With Mr. R. G. Cal- houn as the principal of the school, a good year has been accomplished and we look for still better things to come in the days that lie ahead. The school has cooperated with the other schools of Iredell Coun- ty and has had complimentary remarks from those inspec- tors of the State who have come through to grade every (Continued On Page Three) JULY - AUGUST 1951 Summary of the (Continued From Page Two) phase of the school’s activities.

The children thus af- fected were returned to their own homes or brought into the Home at Barium. This, then, indicates that the total scope of our work lies in the institutional care within the bounds of Barium Springs. The population to date is 292 - 147 boys and 145 girls. During the year there were 43 applications received with two reopened. These 45 applications involved 116 children and out of this 116 44 were admitted to the institution. In the farm, dairy and or- chard there are 600 acres in cultivation of which 85 acres are used for permanent pas- ture. Mr. J. F. Stinson is the supervisor and he is assisted by six full-time paid men and from two to 18 boys. At the present time we have 4 mules, 3 horses, 4 tractors, a motor- ized combine, and other nec- essary implements for farm- ing. We have 48 sheep, 36 lambs, and 89 hogs In the summary of production for the year on the farm we find that 52 acres of wheat yielded 510 bushels; 9 acres of rye yielded 120 bushels: 11 acres of oats and barley mixed yielded 310 bushels; 52 acres of oats yvield- ed 1647 bushels: 60 acres of barley vielded 1299 bushels. On the same acreage used for small grain, after the cutting of the grain, there was har- vested in lespedeza seed 11,000 pounds of No. 1 seed and 3,000 pounds of No. 2 seed. 72 acres of land produced 3600 bushels of corn: 8 acres produced 120 tons of ensilage corn, From the 104 acres used for alfalfa 200 tons of hay were used at the dairy barn and 50 tons for the horses, beef cattle and sheep. 90 tons was sold green in the field because we had more than we needed. 1800 bales of straw were put in the barns for use in bedding for the cows. Ninety-two hogs were killed during the year, totaling 28,160 pounds. The hams, shoulders, and sides were cured at the freezer locker and the trim- mings were used for sausage and livermush with the fresh meat from the spare ribs and back bones. This amount of hog meat makes the pork diet a little too heavy and it is our intention to move more from pork to beef, increasing the beef herd. The orchards are supervised by Mr. Woodrow Clendenin and he has been assisted by one or more adults and from 1 to 15 boys. 1800 apple trees on THE BARIUM MESSENGER The Passing of A Landmark.... [his issue of The Messenger marks a change in the way we are showing our receipts from the various organizations of 35 acres of land last year pro- duced over 7,000 bushels of apples. The 500 peach trees on 15 acres of land produced a- bout one peach. There are 200 peach trees which will bear in a few years from now, replac- ing the older ones. The dairy is supervised by Mr. Ralph Spencer and he is assisted by his brother, Lee Spencer. Student help total- ing 20 to 25 boys in the age range from ten to fourteen years is used. The herd consists, of 90 to 100 animals which have been cared for in four main build- ings with several small aux- iliary buildings. The herd is tested annually by the State Veterinarian and found to be free of Bangs Desease and TB. The milk is tested regularly by the County Sanitarian and the bacteria count has been ranging between three and four thousand which is consid- ered very low. A Federal sur- vey was made of dairy barns in this area during the past year and the barn at Barium was rated 98, the highest in Iredell County. The amount of milk produced last year was 44,410 gallons from an aver- age of 35 Holstein cows. This is raw milk, having been cool- ed and stored, served and con- sumed, While there is some confidence in the quality of the milk which the children are getting, yet there is always the possibility of some infect- ion coming from the animals through the milk. The County Health Department strongly recommends the use of pas- teurized milk only. The print shop and the shoe shop are under one director, Mr. Ed. Kyles. For three- fourths of the year just closed there was one adult assistant, Mr. Wallace Twombly. From one to eight boys are used in the shop. Necessary shoe re- pairs are made for the chil- dren of the Home but the primary work is done in the printing office. Some idea of the activity in- volved in the shop can be had from the fact that in addition to printing 288.750 copies of the Messenger to be mailed out, there were 404,870 other pieces printed. The general organized effort put forth in the religious train- ing still presists unon the cam- pus. All of the children are re- quired to attend Sunday Shool and the morning Church ser- vice. The group meetings in the afternoon and evening are optional and the student attends on his own volition. Service is held each Wednes- day evening and the student body is required to be present. The pastor and session ar- ranged for a visiting preacher to hold services for one week in the Church. Vacation Time (Continued From Page One) the State to spend a few days with relatives or friends and the Churches of Svnod. Phis change has been brought about partly by the growing conviction that an undue amount of space in The Messenger was being devoted benefits derived {1 to financial statistics in proportion to the om the publication of each gift. Ihe second reason which brought about the change is the changing methods by which the offerings for Presbyterian Or- phans’ Home are received. Not so many years ago practically all of the money from the organizations was sent direct to the Home. es are urged to channel all the Now each Presbytery has its Treasurer and the church- funds through the Treasurer. When the Presbytery’s Treasurer first began to function, he sent us a list giving each contributing organization and the amount. As the churches have been using the Central ‘Treas- urers in increasing amount, this system has become burdensome so that several of the Treasurers have discontinued this distri- bution lst. The Presbytery’s Treasurers have always gone the second mile for the Home and have been most helpful in every way, for which we are very grateful. But because we would have to show an increasing amount credited to the Pres- bytery but undesignated as to the church or organization, we thought it hardly worth while to show a partial picture. So we plan in the future to give our receipts by Presby- teries showing the totals given by the organizations of the churches. The figures will be given for the month just pre- ceeding and the total for the church vear to date. The Synod of North Carolina has apportioned to the Pres- byteries the sum of $66,300.00 to be raised in the regular bud- get and has set the figure for the Thanksgiving Offering at $100 000.00 which makes a total asking by the Synod for the Home of $166.300.00. It is our purpose to show the propor- tionate part of Synod’s asking for that period of the year. For example, through July, one third of the year is gone and one third of $166,300.00 is $55,433.33. We are sadly aware of the fact that this is counting on the Thanksgiving Offering. and Thanksgiving is quite a wav off. However, we feel that this gives the clearest picture of what the Synod expects and what the Home will require to be adequately supported. If we see wherein we can improve on this report we will be glad to change. We welcome suggestions. The following is our first report under the changed set- SYNOD’S ASKINGS 1951-52 up: Presbyteries ......... Thanksgiving ....... OTE icssicscees Presbytery Church S. S.

All in all, the days had been busy and the work had been well done and the vacation time was deserved.

Woman’s Building With such sweltering hot afternoons, which are now be- ing spent in class rooms, it is a deep wonder that we all don’t throw up our hands in exasperation! Even among those who like school, | bet they would love to be basking in a cool room with a tall glass of lemon-ade or tea near by. Doesn't that make you want to drop everything? Since we have eight senior girls who are eagerly await- ing for graduation, we've got to let them get this final year over and done with. Hot weather or wot! But, girls, when winter comes, what song are we then going to be sing- ing? We are sorry to have one of our junior girls leave us to go to a smaller cottage. Even if she is just across the campus, we shall miss her. We wish her throughout the coming year with her new job at Annie Louise. There’s a great day coming! Yes siree! it won't be long before our activities building will be complete and we can start our skating. Each night after supper the majority of us trek down to see how much more has been done. But for some of us who don’t go so often to see it, a saying one of our teachers passed on to us close to the end of school when it was first, going up, suits us just fine. It goes like this: “The less you look, the success THE BARIUM MESSENGER more vou see!” After a month’s vacation we are glad to have Miss Win- nie Ferguson back in our building with us. We hope she had a nice time, but we are also glad to have her with us once again. Welcome home, Miss Winnie. We've just got to wait un- til next month to finish telling you our news. Right now we have got to get our nose stuck in our books. See you next month, friends. eee he Wi. . Gitis.

We have some real friends down in Mooresville, one of the Circles is either sending us stacks of comic books or something to eat. We had a real picnic supper about two weeks ago and you should have been here to help us put it away. We can’t begin to thank our friends enough. We miss all of our boys who left us to stay home this sum- mer, we hope they will be hap- py though and will visit us soon. The circus is coming — to Statesville soon and we are keeping our fingers crossed hoping we will get to go. —-J. G. Boys. Rumple Hall Hello Folks, We are back again with our news. We don’t have much news to tell about this time. First, we went on vacation, half of us went the 10 of July and the rest of us went the 31st of July. Most of us went to the beach or to a lake, and we all had fun. August 17th the Pioneers went on a hayride, we went to Brown’s Pool in Moores- ville and had watermelons, we came back by Davidson Col- lege. School has started again. The girls in the seventh grade have a new teacher, his name is Mr. Guy, and we all think a lot of him. Well this is all for this month. our news Your friend, Ann Mel ean. Annie Louise Here we are back again not only with the news this time, but with school and_ lessons, too, However, we're not in the least discouraged since all of us were really looking for- ward to it. Many of the girls who were in the first grade feel real proud now that they are in the second grade, es- pecially one little girl who was overheard boasting that she had been promoted and was going to be in the second grade. She was soon cut short though, with the reply from one of the other littlee girls. “You neeedn’t feel so big- gity.” she said, “] was com- moded,” too. (meaning pro- moted, of course) Now that school has start- ed we're sort of disappointed that the swimming pool is closed, but we're really glad that we can all be back to- gether again after a swell va- cation with our friends and relatives. We reallv have en- joyed ourselves this summer and will be looking forward to next year when all of the summer workers can be with us again. With the return of Va- cations and tthe starting of schoo! we have a newcomer in our midst. Judy Hamilton’s her name and we hope that she will be very happy here with us. Recently we’ve been to see two movies and hope that we will get to see “Alice in Won- derland” sometime soon. We have heard the story but have not seen the movie yet, so thats really something we're looking forward to. We've had two birthdays so far this month but later on there will be another one. Our “big girl”, Shirley, will be celebrating the 18th. Virginia Lane and Sue Moore celebra- ted theirs today, September 3rd. We're having lots of fun playing grown up now with our high heels, hats, dresses and pocketbooks that we ac- cumulated while we were home and brought back with us. Our favarite pastime is either playing “mama” or “go- ing to the store.” Well I guess you folks are pretty tired reading all this “bunk” so we'll just say so long, until next month, Baby Cottage Hi There, Here come the babies! You haven’t heard from us in months, but now we are set- tled back down again after our vacations. Of course if you hear us yelling and see us jumping around you would hardly consider us very sett- led. The ones of us who are old now ((six vears old) have moved right on up to Synods and Annie [Louise Cottage. That left us with a lot of emp- ty beds but not for long. The little girls, Patricia Ann Mace, Sherry and Marie Ross, and three little boys, Mike Porter, Walter Snead, and Clyde Mace have come to live with us. Bui goodness, you would never believe they are new. They all keep right up with the rest of us in having fun on the slide, ocean-wave, and swings. The summer substitute housemothers now know how the “old woman who lived in a shoe” must have felt. While the regular house- mothers were on vacations, the subs were having quite a time with us children who re- turned from our vacations. Although we enjoyed being at home with loved ones for a time we were real happy to get back to our friends at Barium. In fact, one little fel- low was so pleased to see his playmates again that he got up in the middle of the night and went around to all the beds to say hello. Imagine hearing footsteps in the middle of the night and not knowing to whom they be- longed! Now that Septemwer is here, Miss Alderman and Miss Glass have left to go back to school. We wish them the best of luck. Monday we are going to see “Alice In Wonderland.” We always especially enjoy the ride on the bus. Seems like we are all look- ing for something to get the matter with us so we can go down to the Infirmary and welcome our friend and nurse, Miss Hoots, back to our cam- pus. We’re looking forward to the birthday table in Septem- ber most of us will be there so it should be quite an oc- casion. Well, so long for now— time for us Babies to rest. We'll try not to wait so long next time about writing. The Babies Alumni News (Continued From Page One) Donald Mitchell who is in the Air Force made a_ short visit to Barium.

Every y and girl on the campus knew this and they had been preparing for it. Lunch eaten hurriedly and for once everybody rushed back to school with great pleasure. Then the procession began, careful plans having been made by the principal, R. G. Calhoun, for the student body to move in procession down the rail- road track a quarter of a mile to the County Fair Grounds. The gates were wide open and the student body were the guests of the management for the afternoon. The operators were busy and the wheels were turning and the rides were free for the asking. Two big Ferris Wheels, the Merry-go-Round, the little airplanes and auto- mobiles, the roller coaster, the roller plane. and the swinging chairs were kept busy for over an hour as the boys and girls lined up to take their turn in the various rides. The odor of freshly popped corn was not enough to tantalize anyone for those who were selling pop- corn gave each child at least one bag. Some got two. Many of the stands reduced the prices of drinks to five cents, and so with popcorn and bottl- ed drinks and candied apples and cotton candy, everything began to take a merry whirl. The exhibit rooms were open and when the rides had been finished the next hour was spent in just visiting the exhibits at the Fair - the poul- try, swine, cattle, and the handiwork and school work. Then the group began to gath- er at the door of the arena, for nothing was to be omitted and a special show was given for the bovs and girls on this occasion. The hour and one- half in the arena as the artists performed thrilled and delight- ed everyone who were then by that time beginning to feel just a bit weary for a busy afternoon. Making their way back to the campus from the fairgrounds, the steps were a little slower than on the way down.

These hon- ors were not without some monetary value for all told the prizes won amounted to $106.00 For many weeks prior to the Fair, the boys under the di- rection of Messrs.

They had trim- med and washed and polished and scrubbed and paraded in preparation for the presenta- tion in the big ring.

We also had a_foot- ball game that afternoon. We beat Children’s Home 6-2.

We all enjoy movies but a few of us shed tears when someone is shot. Yesterday, while our two big girls were skating over at the Woman's Building, they heard a girl ask Bobby Arro- wood if it was his Homecom- ing. He was running around with red and blue streamers, probably used for decorating the football field Friday. We have two new girls at our cottage now, they are Bet- ty Kdw ards and Margaret Fer- ris, They ate very mice and like to live here. We _ hope they continue to do so. When they came we moved two of our larger girls to Howard, Judy Taylor and Virginia Kis- er - we miss them. We still have 26 little girls.

On September 14, being all steamed up over the first game, we went to Thomasville and brought home our first victory. The score: 7 to O But on September 2! the team lost to Salisbury. Since this was not a conference game, the score didn’t bother our rating. The next game was at Albe- marle, September 28. The score was a tie7 to 7. At Ashe- boro the following week we suffered our first defeat. Ashe- boro beat us 18 to 13.

Other prizes were won by The Half-way Mark By R. E. JACKINS The Barium football team finds itself at the half-way mark of the season, after play- ing the first four games a- way from home. On Septem- ber 14th Barium played ‘Thom- asville on a well lighted field and on a beautiful night. Ba- rium scored on a pass from Hillard to Bullard and Bull- ard kicked the extra point, winning the game 7-0. Our next game was Salisbury. The Salisbury team had too much experience for Barium and did all their scor- ing in the first half. The Ba- rium team stiffened in the second half and played Salis- with bury on even terms. In the fourth quarter Barium held Salisbury four downs on the four-vard line, which proved to us that Barium’s team was in good condition as we are very short on reserves. The final score was 14-0 in favor of Salisbury. On September 28th Barium went to Albemarle and play- the team there which had just tied Lexington. Barium. scor- ed first in the second quarter.

C., DECEMBER 1951 No. 2 Christmas Plans Are Underway The tempo of life at Ba- rium is all awhirl and every- body is talking Christmas and thinking Christmas. The house- mothers and boys and. girls are busy planning shopping tours in the nearby towns. Mr. John Ervin and his crew are in search for Christmas trees so that every cottage may have a tree to be decorated for the Christmas week. Miss Rebekah Carpenter is assisting Old Saint Nick in getting the Christmas things together and ready to be delivered on Christmas morning, Special Christmas services have been planned on Wednes- day night, the 19th, when the Presbyterian Youth Fellow- ship and the Glee Club will give a pageant at 7:30 p. m. On Thursday evening, the 20, the regular Give-’fo Christmas Tree program will be held in the dining room, beginning with supper at 6:00. All of the Barium family will come to- gether for the family supper, and following the supper each person will bring his contribu- tion to the tree, putting it in the big red stocking and then placing some decoration on the tree. When all have made their Christmas gift the tree will be lighted and the Christ- mas season will actually have begun. Friday at noon the school closes and the holiday season will be in full swing. In addition to the Santa Claus and Christmas Tree, on Christ- mas morning each cottage will have some type of devotional service commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. Child Assignment And Clothing People One of the very finest cus- toms that prevails in nearly every like Barium is that people request the pri- child within the Home for the pur- pose of providing greetings on birthdays and part of the nec- essary clothing funds. Often- times a very happy relation- ship grows between the child and his clothing people and continues over many years. However, sometimes people are unhappy in that about the institution velege of “adopting” a time they have someone as- signed to them there comes a notice that there has been a change made, and they don’t quite understand. The expla- nation is that manv childret do not remain in the Home for a long period time Some circumstances may 1 On Two) De .

The Quad Boys Extend (Continued From Page One) chest because of the addition- al number of boys who had added their names to the hon- or roll. The men declare that now that the football season is over and that the girls will have to spend some time in practicing the same as_ the boys do, they are going to far outdistance them in the num- ber that attain the distinction of being on the honor roll each month. Of course, the girls in a reg- ular woman-like fashion are not saying much, but plans are made and they aim to make the boys eat their own words, or at least out-do them in the literary efforts. They intend to maintain supremacy in the field of the intellectual. The spectators will be very much interested in next month’s honor roll to see who is leading in this challenge. School News Our football season has come to a close and basket- ball is once again taking its annual spotlight. At Hickory, both boys and girls lost the first game played. Chapel programs vember have been by the eleventh and eighth grades. The eleventh grade gave a very fitting dramatiza- tion entitled, “Neighbors”. De- votionals showed proper re- lationship of our Neighbors in the cast. Taken as a class pro- ject the prologue, written in poetry, was spoken by Hilda Donaldson. The cast consist- ed of: Pattie Inman, Dot Sur- les, Gloria Williams, Jerry Williams, Alfred Williams, Helen Barnes, Shirley Porter, and Helen Baucom. Presenting for their pro- gram the eighth grade chose to dramatize three scenes from “Bird’s Christmas Car- ol”, led by Fredrick Lentz, the devotional was given by a special choir.

Cottage News Infirmary Hi Folks, It has been a long time since you heard from us but we are ready now to give you the bits of gossip picked up around the Infirmary. We aren’t having many pa- tients now and you can guess why. With Christmas just a- round the corner, everyone seems to be in perfect health. They couldn’t bear the thought of spending. the holidays in bed. We said that we didn’t have any patients but actually we do. Two of our own girls de- cided that we just had tc have someone sick so they got sick themselves. Hurry and get well, Jane and Lois. You can't play hooky from = school for- ever. Our regular nurse, Miss Hoots, was away this week- end and Miss ‘Taylor substitu- ted for her. Just think of all the fun she had painting scratches. If you had visited the In- firmary recently you might have thought that “Open the Door, Richard” was back on hit parade. For the reason, just ask Jay Lee Moose, our little patient from Synods. He really did enjoy that song. The football banquet was Friday, December I, and Jane and Pattie were invited be- cause they were cheerleaders. v1 . hey had a big meal and a good time to go with it. But don’t worry, we who stayed home got ice cream for supper, too. On top of such a full week we got our report cards. Oh happy day, when we got to- gether and compared we de- cided we didn’t do too bad as a whole but there is certainly room for improvement. We congratulate Linda for being on the honor roll and hope that next time more of us will join her. One of the Woman’s Build- ing girls, Barbara Bradshaw, is in the hospital recuperating from an appendicitis operation. We expect to welcome her back in a few days and hope that she will soon be well - again. As no one will admit that (Continued On Page Three) DECEMBER 1951 THE BARIUM MESSENGER PAGE THREE Cottage News (Continued From Page Two) they are sick we will have to cut our news a little short and bid you all good-bye until next month. We wish you all the very happiest Christmas ever. Pattie, Lois, Jane, Linda. Annie Louise Ii Friends, Boy! Time really flies! Just three weeks until Christmas. We're all looking forward to seeing Santa Claus so I guess we had better clean out our chimney.. We're trying to be real good so we won't get a bag of switches. Speaking of being good, we got our report cards Wednes- day and when we came home none of us even saw or felt Mrs. Gentry’s little ruler. We made good grades as well as behaving ourselves. Ten of us were on the honor roll and we have an idea were go- ing to get a surprise party or something. We've been studying at home as well as in school, but of course something different from books, the Catechism. We're real proud that five of us have recited it and have gotten our Testaments. More of us are studying it and hope to finish it soon. Something wonderful hap- pened to us over Thanksgiv- ing. Some good friends from Belmont sent us each a big dixie cup of candy. It lasted about two or three days, be- cause everyone of us just love candy. That wasn’t all, though. We got to skate in the new activities building. Of course the word “skate” doesn’t ex- actly mean what it says. For some of us just stood up and fell right back down again. We're just learning, but we're getting tough doing so. We've been raking leaves so we can make our yards look prettier. We like to play in the leaves just as much as we like to rake them. Well, that’s all for this month folks, so bye, bye until January.
