SUNDAY IS DAD’S
DAY; LET HIM
KNOW IT
Athens will celebrate to the
fullest extent ^Father's Day” next
Sunday. Every indication Is that,
for one day at least, “the old
man” will come In for a certain
amount of credit for all he does
the other 364 days in the year.
Father is kind of used to doing
things for his loved ones and will
probably feel that the order of
things has been reversed when ho
receives some attention and sym-
pathy. Indications ore that this
Father’s Day. however, ‘'Dad” will
have to Just try,to arrange things
so he can get .the fullest enjoy
ment out of tho occasion.
To the Co-ed Leader, a news
paper publsihed by the Commer-
cial High School, Atlanta, was
awarded the Athens Banner-Her-
ald’s prize for- the best high
school newspaper published in the
state during 1926-1027, the award
being made by the Henry W.
Grady School of Journalism of the
University of Georgia in connec
tion with the meeting of the high
school Journalists there Thuraday.
While ‘'.Mother’s Day" has been gtewart, president of the po™” of 1 'organising n^.Ute high
celebrated for a number of years,
It was only recently that the heed
of the house became ol any im
portance at all. Tlie custom of
celebrating Father’s Day was Jn-
«UKU»lCii. dia /«•••« wpv, -1-
since grown to nation-wide proper,
tlons.
It might be well for Athenian*
to start their plans right now to
do something for "Dad” Sunday.
One time each year you have
opportunity to make hint foci that
he amount to something and that
you are as proud of him as he* Is
of you. and that you want him to
know you appreciate his help and
sympathy the other 364 days.
