REPORT OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE OXFORD ORPHANAGE, INC., FOR 1952
To The Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Ma- sons of North Carolina:
The Board of Directors of Oxford Orphanage here- with submits its report to the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, which includes a detailed report of the Super- intendent and the Departments of the Orphanage.
We are especially happy to realize that during this year, a greater number of Masons visited the Orphanage. We believe that their visit gave them a new insight into the work that is being done with the children and also enlarged their vision of the beauty of Masonry in action. Again we urge each Lodge to arrange a visit for its mem- bers in order to adequately portray the program of Ox- ford Orphanage.
The Board of Directors held its regular meetings throughout the year and administered all the affairs of the Orphanage. The Executive Committee and the Local Advisory Board in Oxford held their regular meetings and made full report to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors is most grateful to the Or- phanage Committees in the local Masonic Lodges because of the strenuous work that was done through the Thanks- giving-Christmas solicitations for support to the Or- phanage. We are especially grateful to the Grand Lodge, the various Masonic related Bodies, the Shrine Temples, and the Order of the Eastern Star for their great gene- rosity in promoting the welfare of the Orphanage chil- dren. We are especially grateful to the York Rite Masons of North Carolina for completing the York Rite Mem- orial Chapel which, when adequately equipped, will be an everlasting memorial of love and a continual means for the enrichment of the Orphanage children.
The Board of Directors greatly appreciated the con- tinued support of the State of North Carolina and the approval and appropriation of the Duke Endowment.

ANNUAL REPORT OF
Because of the generosity of the Masons and friends, Oxford Orphanage again operated within its budget and completed the year free of debt. During the year, we did extensive renovation and repair to the buildings and equipment, in order to continue maintaining the physical plant of Oxford Orphanage in excellent condition. We greatly feel the absence of a suitable building to provide physicial education and recreational facilities in accord- ance with the children's need and reiterate our hope of constructing an adequate gymnasium to satisfy this ur- gent need.
During the year, we again operated at capacity, en- rolling children from 69 counties of North Carolina. We closed the year with 324 children in our care, of which 27 were children of Masonic parentage.
We recommend that the Grand Lodge appropriate the same amount for the support of the Orphanage for the year 1953.
Again we urge each Mason to familiarize himself with this report and to visit the Orphanage so that he may appreciate his part in the development of boys and girls.

OXFORD ORPHANAGE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To The Board of Directors of Oxford Orphanage and To the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina:
The following is the eightieth report of the Super- intendent of the Oxford Orphanage to the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, being the report for the year 1952.
Eighty years ago, the Free Masons of North Caro- lina responded to the high calling of their ideals and opened the doors of an institution for indigent children of North Carolina without affiliation, sex, or religious alliance. Throughout these eighty years, the Masons of North Carolina have constantly exerted themselves to make this Orphanage one of the most outstanding in all the Southland.
We constantly endeavor to discover means through which we can portray the life and activities of the chil- dren who are in our care, so that each Mason can under- stand the work that is being done in training children for wholesome citizenship. We always wish it were possible to have each Mason to visit our campus and see the panoramic beauty of the vast expanse of our Or- phanage Home and especially to witness the activities of our training program and particularly the beauty of the joy in the life of our children.
Oxford Orphanage, being the oldest child-caring agency in North Carolina, enjoys a very close working relationship with every Orphanage in the State, and con- tinues to cooperate with and participate in the whole- some child-caring program in North Carolina through affiliation with the organizations, agencies, and asso- ciations which are fostering welfare of children. We are constantly endeavoring to appropriate the better practices and activities to enlarge the welfare of our children, and thereby to develop them in accordance with the highest ideals.
We again completed a year filled to capacity and because of our limitations, were not able to give our facil- ities freely to every call that came to our ears ; however,

ANNUAL REPORT OF
we have maintained the historic policies of Oxford Or- phanage in admitting children on the basis of each child's need for our care, irrespective of fraternal, sectarian, or social background.
During the year 1952, the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina paid its appropriation in full. The State of North Carolina again paid its appropriation, and the Duke Endowment approved the program and continued its support to the Orphanage. The Masonic Lodges were extremely gene- rous in their Christmas offerings, and while a few Lodges failed to make a gift, the majority so increased their efforts that Oxford Orphanage received a most generous expression of love. The York Rite Bodies, The Grand Chapter, Grand Commandery, and Grand Council con- tinued their generous support to the Orphanage, not only through the Carson York Rite Fund but more es- pecially in completing the York Rite Memorial Chapel. The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Bodies, Order of the Eastern Star, the Order of Rainbow Girls, the National Sojourners, the Oasis and Sudan Temple An- cient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and numerous Masonic clubs contributed to our support. We also received generous support through the football game sponsored by Sudan Temple in Raleigh and its Shrine Club in Rocky Mount. Because of all this generosity of Masons and friends, Oxford Orphanage completed an- other year without incurring any debt.
We have been very fortunate during the past year in having a loyal and efficient staff of adult workers training our children in the Orphanage. They are great- ly responsible for the great success of our program and for the wholesome achievement of the Orphanage life.
We are most grateful to the members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, and the local Advisory Board because of their generous and sincere service to the Orphanage and its personnel throughout the year.
Again we most cordially invite and strenuously urge each Lodge to make a pilgrimage to Oxford Orphanage

and share a day in the lives of our children, thereby reap- ing the great dividends of joy that have accrued to Ma- sons.
Our report is divided into the following sections : The Caseworker's Department, the Educational Depart- ment, Campus Activities, and Financial Report.
We sincerely hope that each Mason will read this report for a better understanding of the life of Oxford Orphanage.
