HENRY COUNTY SCHOOLS
IN ALL THEIR GLORY.
Thursday and Friday s County School Fair Was
McDonough's Greatest Meeting ot Many
Years —All Ages Attended.
Names of Prize Winners are Published.
Thursday and Friday of last
week were gala days for McDon
ough and Henry county. The oc
casion was the Henry County
School Fair.
The fair opened Thursday morn
ing with exercises at the school
auditorium.
The State School Superintend
ent, Hon. M. L. Brittain, was on
the program to make the address
but he was unable to come. In
his place Professor Geo. D. God
,dard, one of the State’s Supervis
ors of Schools, made the address
of the occasion. Judge T. J.
Brown introduced him in a few
appropriate and well chosen
words.
Professor Goddard made a
splendid address along education
al lines and the large audienee
thoroughly enjoyed it and appre
ciated it.
The other exercises of the morn
ing were the contests by students
of the county’s grammar school
grades in declamation, recitation,
and spelling. The contestants all
a splendid showing and
made it difficult to choose the
winners, so well did all do their
parts.
Thursday afternoon came the
drills, May pole dance, and high
school athletics.
The McDonough schools gave
dumb bell drill, Indian club drill,
and May pole dance. These all
took place within an enclosed
quadrangle on the school grounds.
The scene was indeed a beauti
ful one, with a sea of interested
faces surging against all four sides
of the enclosure, and the move
ments in the drills keeping time
to the strains of beautiful music.
Then the May-pole dance was ac
companied by the singing of a
thorng of the school girls dressed
in white.
The high school athletics fol
lowed and were enjoyed by the
large crowd. The events and win
ners are given in the list below.
Thursday evening came the high
school contests in music, recita
tion, and declamation. This was
especially fine and reflected credit
upon both students and teachers
who had trained them.
Vocal solos by Miss Annie No
lan, with Miss Ethel Sowell as ac
companist, and Mrs. J. A. Fouche,
with Miss Annie G. Thomson as
accompanist, and an instrumental
solo by Miss Ethel Sowell were
also features which gave much
pleasure to the fortunate audience.
Friday morning came the school
parades. This was composed of
schools in handsomely decorated
automobiles and on foot and was
indeed an inspiring sight.
The fair closed with the gram
mar school contests in athletics,
There were more than one hun
dred entries in these various
events.
In addition to all the events and
affairs going on, as above describ
ed, the court house w r as filled al-

most to overflowing wdth schorl
exhibits of work made bv the
hands of the students themselves.
Almost every imaginable kind
of practicable craftmanship made
up these exhibits. Girls displayed
both dainty and the more practi
cal sewing, cooking, and art work.
The boys brought many useful
and beautifully wrcughr things in
iron and wood, of both the natural
and finished kinds. There were
maps and drawings and growing
things evidencing the skill of both
sexes. . *
A completely finished and fur
nished miniature dwelling was the
work of one of the McDonough
school grades.
It was indeed a most creditable
exhibition of what our county’s
school children are accomplishing
and also the brilliant promise of
even greater things they will do
in the future.
