Bladenboro Middle School
Attends the NC Junior Beta Convention
Bladenboro Middle School sent
61 delegates to the NC Junior Beta Club Convention
in Greensboro, N.C. on February 7 – 9. The
theme at this year’s convention was “Beta- A Circle
of Winners!” Bladenboro Middle School was
represented by the NC Junior Beta Club President,
Zane Hamilton Singletary. Zane presided over
the First General Session giving a speech, “Everyone
Can Be a Winner!” He also gave his Farewell
Speech during the Third General Session. Zane
entertained 3300 delegates from across NC, playing
his saxophone during the First General Session, the
National Anthem and during the Presidential
Processional prior to the Third General Session.
The Bladenboro Middle School
Beta Club competed in Group Talent, “I’ve had the
Time of my Life.” All 61 delegates were
involved. The routine consisted of dancing
accompanied by a saxophone, with a three-dimensional
turning backdrop. The 6 minute routine focuses
on school days and how they have celebrated the good
times in school. The club also competed in

the club was escorted into Bladenboro by Bladenboro
Police and Fire Department to Bladenboro Middle
School. Main Street in Bladenboro was lined
with blue and gold balloons and bows and the
citizens of Bladenboro greeting and congratulating
the students by waves and horn blowing. When
we arrived at the school, the columns were adorned
with blue and gold bows and balloons, Congratulation
banners, along with our Principal, Wilbert Stokes,
and the faculty of Bladenboro Middle School, and
parents, cheering for the Betas. It was
definitely a time to celebrate their wins.
