110 YEARS AGOThursday, Nov. 16, 1911from the Mathews Journal
A Thanksgiving entertainment will be given on Friday night, Nov. 24, 1911, at eight o’clock, in the auditorium of the new New Point High School building.
A prominent feature of the evening will be a debate, “Resolved, that the Suffrage should be Extended to Woman.” This much discussed question will be settled we trust, for good and all.
There will be music, both vocal and instrumental and recitations. Refreshments, varied and excellent, oysters, coffee, ice cream and cake will be on sale.
The object of the gathering is to furnish an opportunity for patrons, pupils, teachers, school officers and friends to meet and get acquainted with each other and to raise money for our new desks.
