TRIP TO ARCHIVES BUILDING ENJOYED BY SOCIAL CLASS The sixth grade Social Studies Class of Miss Elizabeth Finley traveled by bus to the Archives Euilding on October 31st. The word archives means a place where documents and rec ords are kept. The Archives Foundation was founded in 1919 and started in a small room in the State Capitol. The documents and records soon piled high thus presenting the problem of an other place to keep them. In 1929 Georgia came to the rescue by giving the foundation the A. G. Rhodes home. But, once again, the records were soon piled to the ceiling. Some were destroyed by water from the leaks in the roof. In 1957, during” the administra tion of Governor Marvin Griffin, the legislature appropriated six million dollars for anew build ing. The humidity is kept at 50 percent and the temperature is kept between 70 and 75 degree Fahrenheit. Sixty-three pupils went on the trip and each one enjoyed it. Slides of the trip were taken by David Evans and will be shown to the class at a later date.— Reporters, Mark Cawthon and David Evans.
