Wayne Clifton Wllllnms, better
known-to most of us as "Peter,"
is tills week's feature senior. ''
The mnjoiity of the county
knows "Peter" ns tho "big tall, un
controllable center of the Advance
Pantiicrs!" This is quite true.
"Peter" is a wonderful ball play
er: in rnct, his ability to score, his
cnpnbiilty to. rebound, and his
quick clear thinking have made
him tho star pinycr of Advance'.
1 'Peter's" cicvcru'.'ss, ingenuity, |
n and know-how arc not confined to
the bnskctbal court. He's magnani
mous with n shy infectious grin:
lie's nohscnslcnl and yet is serious
cnougli to meet the npprovn) of
any ciilical eye. His sociability,
kindliness, and Jolly companion
ship arc something to be marveled
at. His continual lumiorous re
marks and his ability to smile al
ways have won him many friends.
Besides . "lector's" wonderful
pursoimiiiy and basketball play
ing, he plays ba.scball and is a
member of the Monogram Club.
He al.so Is tlte co-cnptnin of the
bn.sketbal) learn, in his Junior
year, he wns selected as nn nttcnd-

Since making friends with "Pet.

him a "nanncr ibanonn) peanut-

JUDGE CLEMENT,
DAVIE NATIVE,
BURIED SUNDAY
JudKC John Henry Clcmcnl of
Wnlkcrtown, 75. n SuDcrtor Court
•Judpc for 20 ycnrs, was btirlcd
Sunday nflcrnoon In the Love's
Methodist Oiurch Cemetery.
The retired, greatly - esteemed
.iudffc died shortly after 2 a.m..
Saturday at a Winston • Snlem
hospital. He had been taken there
following a heart attack at his
home..
During his life. Ineludlns 26
years on the bench and 14 years In
private law practice, he establish
ed a reputation as a prodigious
worker with a profound sense of
_ilfibkJllJd-.wjC2MIL .!
He waa born at Mocksvllle on
Sept. 26. IflOl, t1ic son of John
itcnry and Bmlly Foster Clement.
Fred Hutchlns. who practiced
law with Judge Clement, said It
was a' family "that put Integrity
and honor above everything else."
Judge Clement was educated In
the' Mocksvllle public schools, at
that time scant buckBround for
college. But eritilpped witli more
determination than preparation,
he enrolled In Trinity College.
He was graduated In 1000.* Then,
as during the rest of his life, he
"aecompllshcd whot he did by
hard work," according to B. S.
Womblc, a college clnssinato.
Hb studied law at the Univer
sity of North Carollnn and was
admitted to the bar Jn 1010. He
practiced law at Mocksvllle and
moved to Winston-Salem. «
He taugiit at the old Wc.st End
school where he was known as a
man of great character, a good
tenchcr and a strict disciplinar
ian.
In 1014 he' became as.soclnted
with Judge E. B. Jones In the
practice of law. He joined the
firm of Swlnk, Clement and Hut
chlns In 1022.
In 1020 lie A'as api>olnted Su
perior Court judge after the res
ignation of dudgc R. L. Deal. He
was elected in the next election
and KUb.scciucntly rc-clcctcd' for
right-year terms in 1034,1042. and
1050.
While on the bench he was
accorded a rorc honor. Mr. Hut-
chins said. "He was one of the
few men that could hold court
In his own district and be'asked
back. He handled a case on the
basis,'of the pure facts and the
law. Porsonnlitlcs didn't enter
the case.
"His mind was always open to
the truth." Mr. Hulchcns said. "If
he made a decision and some new
facts were brought up he would
not licslttatc to change liis decis
ion."
Judge Deal suld "jio iiad good
practical common sense. He was
alwn.vs courteous and he didn't
have to use the threat, of coii-
tcmpt to keep order In ills court.
"He was a prodigious worker,"
Judge Deal said. "When he went
to hold court he held court. Yoit
didn't go home In the middle of
the week."
Judge Clomchl endeared him
self to Forsylh attorneys by hold
ing Saturday serious at the court
house after finishing his regular
week long stint on the bench of
another court.,
W. Bryan Buic. , another of
Judge Clement's associates, .said
"ho was one of the finest judges
we've ever had. Nobody ever nucs^
1 tlonod that he did what he thought
I he ought to do."
Mr. Womblc said "ho was an
able lawyer, but more Important
bo was a man of Iho highest
character. As a judge In making
his decisions I'm .sure ho was al
ways guided by his determination
to bo absolute justice as he sawi
It." I
He was married June 11. 1524.
to Miss Eliy4ibcib Booc. In munag-,
Ing their farm near Walkcriown.'
as with everything else in*hlB life,
hu was dolcrinlned to do the best
