Free Lecture by African jp Thomas Leigh to Speak In Theate r Next Sunday Afternoon. Will Return to Native Land^ 0 " IHOMAS LEIGH, the African student who was to have giv-en his lecture on African life ¦ -1 and customs from the band-stand in Hershey park on last Sunday afternoon, was on the grounds and ready to speak at the time appointed but found it necessary to. postpone his lecture until next Sunday. Mr. Leigh is a native African. He was born in Freetown, Sierra Leorie, West Africa in 1888. He started to go to school at five years of age and at fifteen graduated from the Wesleyan Missionary High School. During the two years and nine months that followed he completed the course in Alber acad-emy in Freetown. After a two month's lecture tour in England during the early fall of 1908 Leigh came to the United States and took his first year's work in medicine at Howard- University- in Washington, B. C. He is now an under-graduate of Chicago University. Student Leigh now plans to return to Africa this fall where he will teach in his home town. The American winters have undermined his health. He hopes that a year spent in his native land will help him regain strength sufficiently to return to America and complete his course in medicine and theology. He expects ultimately to he a medical mis-sionary, to his own people working under the mission board of the United Breth-ren Church: Mr. Leigh has given his lectures in Myerstown, Annville, Avon, Lebanon, Wernersville, Hebron Fontana arid Hummelstown. He carries credentials from Chicago University and from prominent leaders of the United Breth-ren Church, in this country. His lecture, African Life and Customs, will be given in the theater in Hershey park next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. He will dress in his native costume. No admission will be charged but an offer-ing will be taken. All are welcome. New Editor For the Press Eugene W. Pocock Will Also Serve as Sec-retary of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion. ' H INAL actibn was taken on Fri-day evening in choosing a successor to C. S. Gee as —J editor of the Hershey Press and general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association. Eugene W. Pocock, of Blissfield, Michigan, was unanimously elected. Mr. Pocock arrived in Hershey last week and has already assumed his duties. The board is peculiarly fortunate in securing Mr. Pocock to .fill these re-sponsibilities for he is eminently quali-fied for both. He is a graduate of the University of Wooster where he was'associated with Mr. Gee in Y. M. C.: A. work and later succeeded him as president of . the University Young Men's Christian Association. He has had business experience and . other training which will fit him for the editorship of the Press. The work of the Y. M. C.
