The PTA presented our gym

will be appreciated more as
the year passes.
Bask.tball is completely en
gulfing the players in the
eighth grade. The girls have
h d eight practice games, losing ,
only twice to Newton Hi’s B
T ■’m. The boys have a five'
win and no loss record so far.
All students, and even the
teachers, are anticipating t h e
1960-61 league games eagerly.
The eighth grade has added
a new class to opr schedule. Mr.

Baptist Village Completes Its
Second Unit Os Homes
Bv Dorothy Smith
WAYCROSS, GA—Baptist
Village. “Homes for Retired
People.’’ has doubled its resi
dent capacity with the com
pletion of its second unit of
homes.
The Village board of trustees
accepted the new unit on be
half of the Georgia Baptist
Convention Tuesday at its an
nual organization meeting
at the Village, located a mile
and a half from Waycross on
State Highway 122.
Keys to the new unit, which
will accommodate 28 persons,
were turned over to the trus
tees by Joe Higgins and Tom
my Harrison of the H and H
Construction Company of
Thomasville, the contractors.
Stevens and Wilkinson of At
j lanta were the architects and
j Allen Ferry Company of At
• lanta was the designer. Ed
! ward Kellogg of Douglas was
। the landscape architect.
The two units of homes of
fer accommodations for 50
people. Six of the spaces are
being used for temporary in
firmaries and offices. Both
clusters are part of the Vil
lage’s master plan which will
eventually provide services for
300 men and women.
This master plan calls for
eight clusters of homes, an ad
ministration building, three
health units, a chapel, a post
office, barber and beauty shops,
lounges, dining rooms, library,
games rooms and an occupa
tional therapy area. A $3 mil
lion project, the Village is the
newest agency of the Georgia
Baptist Convention.
At their meeting the trustees
reviewed the action taken by
the Georgia Baptist Convention
at its recent meeting in Savan
nah which provides, under cer
tain conditions, for the build
ing of another unit of homes
in 1961.
The new unit, which already
has opened its doors to six
residents, has 24 apartments,
20 single and four doubles, a
day room, kitchenette, a TV
and conference room, a laundry
room, storage space, a tele
phone booth, and a rest room
for visitors.
Spacious and attractive, the
day room, which is 36 by 40
feet, will serve as a living room
and general activity area for
residents of both units. The
first unit’s day room is now
the dining room for both sec
tions.
The new day room, which is
designed to accommodate 50
people, faces the east and is
in the loss of their home from
fire Wednesday.
The Livingston Cheerleaders
have had plenty of activity this
week. Tuesday night the Rock
dale girls and boys were de
feated by the Livingston’s
Coach Paden and Criswell's
teams. Thursday night Youth
was defeated by the Livingston
Cardinals. Next week a game
is scheduled with Youth at
their gym.
At physical Ed. the boys play
basketball in the gym. Most all
the girls but the Cheerleaders
play basketball.

modern in design and furnish
ings. The west wall is fir wood
paneling stained to dark rose
wood. The other three walls
are largely of glass, which af
fords an outdoor atmosphere.
The room opens out on a large
covered patio, which faces a
landscaped court and a shuffle
board area.
One of the most popular fa
cilities the Village is the new
unit’s TV and conference room,
which was provided by Mrs.
W. B. Mathias of Ailey. Early
American in its furnishings and
appointments, the room, which
will seat 24, is a delightful
place for watching television or
for conferences or small gath
erings.
The single apartments are
composed of a foyer, walk-in
closet, living-bedroom area,
private bath and individual
patio. The double apartments
have a living room, bedroom,
foyer, a large storage area, a
walk-in closet, private bath
and their own patio. All the
apartments are connected with
the central service area by an
inter-communication system.
All eight buildings in the
new cluster are connected by
covered walkaways to the
buildings in the first unit.
There are no steps in the entire
Village.
Berry Schools
Alumni To Seek
Scholarship Fund
A SIOO,OOO scholarship endow
ment fund drive by The Berry
Schools Alumni Association will
begin Thursday (today).
All 7.600 Berry alumni lyho are
members of the association will
be contacted, alumni officials de
clare. This fund drive among
alumni is the first of its kind in
the 58-year history of Berry
College and Mount Berry School
for Boys, which are incorporated
as The Berry Schools.
There are more than 535 Berry
Schools alumni in this immediate
area of Georgia. There are 14 in
Newton County.
Spearheading the two-year cam
paign for scholarship funds for
Berry College and Mount Berry
School for Boys students will be
John C. Warr, general manager of
the Georgia Baptist Children's
Homes, Hapeville, Ga. Warr is
president of the Berry alumni
association, and as association pre
sident also serves as a member
of the schools’ board of trustees.
Communications are underway
with more than 200 area chairmen
across the nation, according to
John Stewart, director of alumni
affairs. “We anticipate alumni
contributions from Maine to Calif
ornia, and. in fact, from aound
the world,” Stewart said. He
added that most alumni reside in
Georgia and adjoining states. In
every possible instance, each
member will be personally c o n
tacted by a fellow alumnus, he
pointed out.
The Alumni Scholarship Endow
ment Fund will provide financial
aid which qualified students will
use toward payment of tuition and
fees at Berry College and Mount
Berry School for Boys. A work
experience program for all stu
dents also helps defray their ex
penses.
In awarding the scholarships,
priority will be given to ability,
earnestness and financial need of
the student. The funds will be
administered by a committee for
financial assistance at the coedu
cational college and secondary
school for boys.
Addressing alumni, Warr said,
“Someone invested in you and me.
I do not believe that trust in us
was misplaced. Now we can
help some Berry students. We are
going to call on every alumnus.”
Today the enrollment in Berry
College and Mount Berry School
for Boys totals more than 85 0
annually. The schools were
founded by Martha Berry in 1902.
