Richard Reaves a Roanoke Rapids teen set for future success
A Roanoke Rapids High School graduate, Richard Reaves, 17, is hailed for industry and thrift. He has earned about $1000 in cash, built multiple newspaper routes, saved through the Roanoke Rapids Building and Loan, and holds a $1000 life endowment with $200 cash value. He has been on the honor roll, rarely absent, and aims to study chemistry at Lehigh University this fall. His example is urged for local boys to emulate.
