FAYETTEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT A BRILLIANT
OCCASION - GOOD YEARS WORK
The program of the commencement season of the Fayette
ville High School passed off with much splendor Friday evening,
May 26$ when the class of 1921-1922 received its diplomas from
the hands of Col. C. D. Redwine, chairman of the board of trus
tees.
Not in the history of our school' have we enjoyed a more de
lightful graduating exercise, — the program was indeed beautiful
to look upon, — the staging was all that could be desired, — the
songs by the juniors were splendidly rendered under the leadership
of their own class, accompanied by music of an accomplished
pianist.
A capacity house assembled early to ,greet the graduating
class in their crowning event and their work showed that they
had indeed been in good hands, which must have been extremely
pleasing to their teachers and parents.
The graduating class proved that they have been well trained,
and we trust that many of them will continue the pursuit of higher
education. We wish that it had been possible for every young
man and young woman in our county to have heard Professor L.
M. Lester, superintendent of our high school, in his able address
to the graduating class and juniors. It was a message of untold
value to the person whose mind is still at the (constructive age,
and, if applied, would raise the standard of American citizenship
to heights not unobtainable, but heights which 'we have not, as
yet, reached; a heighth that would make men and women to so
respect the truth as to make them willing to “swear to their hurt,”
as he expressed it, if need be, that justice might reign supreme.
Clearly he showed the need of men and women of purpose, men
and women ready to make the supreme sacrifice for the right.
After concluding his remarks, Professor Lester presented cer
tificates of reward to those who had perfect attendance 'records
for the term.
Those receiving diplomas were: Opal Adams, Sara Burks,
Frankie Holt, Lois Holt, Ruby Kerlin, Mary Minter, Hazel Sams,
Walter Morris.
Those receiving certificates were: Opal Pye, Kathleen Blalock,
Braxton Blalock, Max Gary, Marvin Nipper, Mary Minter, Lillie

A GREAT NATIONAL
PARK FOR GEORGIA
/YNE of the biggest
” development pro
jects yet proposed in
Georgia is the contem-
plated establishment
by the United States
Government of a great
recreational park in
the mountains of Hab
ersham, Towns, Ra
bun, Fannin, Lumpkin
and White counties,
where the government
now owns thousands of
acres of land in its na
tional forest reserve.
If the plan goes
through, North Georgia
bids fair to become a
national summer play
ground, for the Cats
kills and White moun
tains, now teeming
with vacationists every
summer, have no more
bewildering beauty and
picturesqueness than
can be found in the
Georgia mountains.
What the establish
ment of such a park
would mean to the
state cannot be esti
mated, for, if under
taken by the govern
ment, its development
will be at federal expense, and it would
attract into Georgia thousands of visitors
from- every sectioli of the country.
And in this we are brought face to
face with another reason why the state of
Georgia should complete her highway sys
tem, for if such a recreational park is to
be of benefit .to Georgians, it must be
made accessible to them. Very little of
this forest reservation can be readied by
the railroads of the state. The develop
ment of the plun must necessarily depend
largely upon whether or not the highways
leading to this section can be made usa
ble for the thousands of tourist that would
be attracted to such a playground. Va
cationists from central and southern states
now throng the mountains of North Car
olina, when they could find the same rest
and repose in ‘"the hills of Habersham,”
if Georgia will be enterprising enough to
capitalize her natural resources as North
Carolina has done, and as Tennessee has
dono, and build a system of roads that
can be used the year ’round by these
pleasure seekers who spend money wher
ever they go.
A stretch of seven miles of the state
highway system runs through this reser
vation now and the forestry commission
has on hand $20,000 with which to help
pave this section, but the counties through
which this road runs cannot match the
federal money and the state has no funds
ffS ft' * ft *■
Typical Mountain Scene in North Georgia
with which to match it, so the whole plan
is delayed.
When the bond issue for good roads,
which the Georgia Good Roads Associa
tion is championing, is passed, and the
state highway system completed, the moun
tains cf north Georgia as well as the
plains of central and south Georgia will
become a playground for the thousands
cf tourist who would come to this cli-
male v the year ’round, to the mountains
in summer and the southern sections in
the winter, and would enrich our state
with the money thev would spend.
The West long ago recognized the value
of permanent all-thc-vear-’round roads and
of inviting the tourists of the nation to use
them, so that section spent money lavishly
on road construction. What is the re
sult? Thousands and thousands of peo
ple go West every year, spend millions of
dollars, and come home singing the praises
of a country that has been progressive
enough to build good highways.
Georgia Can issue bonds in the sum that
can be retired by the automobile license
fees and gasoline tax and build the 5,500
miles in the slate system without extra tax
ation on the people. Would it be worth it
to the state to have these roads?
This is a question the next session of the
legislature will have to answer, and if they
will free Georgia from her limitations and
permit her to issue bonds to build these
roads, in ten years the state will have de
veloped beyond our fondest dreams.

Atlanta, Ga., May —.(Special to The
News.)—By enlisting in the United
States Marine Corps today at the local
recruiting office, 510 Postoffice Build
ing, John N. Bowlden, of Kenwood,
Ga„ will have his dream of travel and
adventure fulfilled.
Young Bowlden told Captain George
Rower, recruiting officer, that he
wanted to see something of the world
—the mode of living in other lands,
and many other interesting things.
Tho Captain replied, “Well why not
'lie Marines way—service on land,
at eea or in the air.”
The Georgian was then turned over
to the medical examiner for physical
examination with several other south
ern youth, but he was the only one
to return with the official “o. k.” on
his application papers.
Private Bowlden was transferred to
the large and healthy training camp
of the marines at Paris Island, S, C.,
where he will undergo a short train
ing, after which he will start on his
travels as a U. S. Marine.

QUEEN OF MAY CROWNED
AT FESTIVAL-GALA DAY
AT FAYETTEVILLE
The May Festival, sponsored by the ladies of the Methodist
Church, which took place last Thursday afternoon on the court
house lawn, was a success in every way. The Queen of the May,
Miss Opal Adams, was crowned in a graceful manner by Irene
Dickson. There were thirty-six attendants to the Queen, and
in their lovely costumes made a pretty scene. The babies up
to two years were shown and judged. The tots of two to six fol
lowed, the girls with their dolls and buggies beautifully decorated,
the boys with their wheelbarrows, kiddy cars, dogs, goats, etc.
The large girls appeared next in costumes showing the fashions
from the sixties to the styles of our present day. The girls,
eight to ten, then danced the May Pole, which was beautiful in
pink and blue streamers, and the girls with sashes to match.
The older girls then sang some bright, happy songs. After this
every one hurried to the circus, which was the 'delight of the
day. There they found a sure-enough ring master, with his
whip, haying the elephant and the giraffe do stunts. Balloons
and all kinds of refreshments were sold. The judges announced
their decisions, as follows:
Finest boy baby under two years, William Mitchell Edmonson.
Finest girl baby under two years, Elizabeth Feely.
Finest boy under six years, Lester Dickson, Jr.
Finest girl under six years, Henrietta Redwine.
Those winning prizes for selling tickets were the following:
Lillie Pearl McElwaney, Helen Allen, Louise Hollingsworth and
Martha Redwine.
Plans are already in progress by the ladies for a better Fes
tival next year.
The ladies of the Methodist Church wish to express their
sincerest appreciation to all who so kindly helped to make the
May Festival a success. Especially are we grateful to Mr. C.
L. Foote for his advertising; to the judges who so kindly came,
to us and so wisely decided; to the merchants of Atlanta who
contributed our prize, balloons and bunting; to our own mer
chants who closed their doors to come and help us; to the mothers
of the town who sent their children to practice and fixed their cos
tumes; and lastly to the children and the boys and girls of our
town for their sweet co-operation.

Nearly everywhere one goes in the
South today, handsome new high
school buildings are going up. I really
doubt whether anything else now to
be seen in Dixie is more promising
for the future of our section and our
people.
In the old days a farm boy or girl
who wished to get high school train
ing had to go away from home and
board. This meant much trouble and
much expense. Consequently very few
farm boys and girrls ever got high
school training. In fact, very few ever
even got ready for high school, be
cause in whatever school one or two
teachers tried to teach all subjects to
all grades and all ages, no age or
grade or subject could get proper at
tention, and astonishingly few pupils
got beyond the third or fourth grades.
The coming of the automobile and
autamobile truck, however, have for
ever changed old-time conditions in
the country. General high school train
ing in a one-teacher school is simply
impossible, and twenty or thirty years
ago it was equally impossible to carry
school consolidation very far. Chil
dren either had to walk to school or
be carried by horses, and horee-travel
was slow, expensive, and narrowly cir
cumscribed. The school truck has
done more for consolidation in ten
years than would have been done in
fifty years without it. At last farm
boys and girls can get high school
advantages without leaving home. And
farm 'parents almost everywhere are
welcoming the opportunity to get
schools that carry the children for
ward rapidly and steadily until they
are ready for college.
That new high school building in
your district or county is a glorious
beacon of promise for you and your
community. It means that the South
of tomorrow is to have a new type of
rural citizenship and leadership—well-
equipped men and women who will
carry forward to yet richer fullfillnient
all the dreams and ambitions of the
fathers and mothers of today.

Our genial deputy sheriff, Noah Tur

Game Warden for Fayette.
State Game Warden J. F. Camp, has
fully instructed Warden Turner as to
his duties, and already owners of some
of the fishing grounds have been in
conference with him, giving detailed
information in regard to wilfull viola

poachers, on their properties.
Better get vour traps and nets out
of the lakes and streams, while the get
ting is good, and keep them out.
If you don’t do this, then don’t do
the baby act when the Warden gets
you.
The game and fish laws are for the
bettering of conditions for all and not
a selfish few as is so in the depreda

Get a copy of the game and fish
laws and be a good citizen, keep them.
