With Filtering Prospects
Chickamauga, Ga. Sept. 2—Cna of
the most enthusiastic opening exer
cises of recent years was held at the
j high school auditorium at this place
• Tuesday morning when the Chicka
mauga High and Grammar school for
: mally opened for the 1924-25 term,
i The large auditorium was filled to its
1 capacity with the student body, pat
rons and friends of the school. The
entire faculty assembled on the stage
and were presented to the audience
by Hon. Tom W. Lee, a member of
'the Board of Education and who act
ed as master of ceremonies. The de
! votional exercises were lead by Dr.
J. M. Radford after which Mr. Lee
1 gave a very appropriate talk for the
: benefit of the school. These exercises
; were made more pleasant by the pres
| ence of Prof. Leon Wiley, t'he first
1 graduate of the C. H. S. and later the
beloved superintendent of the school.
In his address Prof. Wiley spoke of
; his love for the C. H. S. and the
pleasure Which he derived at being
i present and seeing so many of his old
comrades. His talk was filled with in
. spiring words of encouragement to
, the present students and he urged
them to do their best to make the
school one of which their country
j would be proud. Prof. W. M. Patter
: son, the present Superintendent made
, a very interesting address and as
sured the students and patrons that
! he was intensely interested in making
| the school one of the very best to be
had. He emphasized the importance
of home training and the need of hav
ing the pupils to have a certain time
in the home in which to prepare their
lessons. He stated that he had never
been in a community where so strong
a school spirit existed as in this com
munity and appreciated the co-oper
ation which had been manifested by
the patrons of the school. Prof. Pat
: ter son’s words made a deep impres-
I sion on the audience and when he had
| closed his address, Howard Prince, an
: alumnus of the school lead the stu
dent body in the school cheers for the
i new' superintendent. Miss Jeffie Fin
cher, the talented expression teacher
; of the school gave two readings which
j were greatly enjoyed by the entire
| audience. The school is most fortu
nate in having Miss Fincher, at the
i head of the expression department
! and Miss Mary A. Hill, a talented
! musician at the head of the Music
| department. A large number of pu
pils will be in these departments this
term and are sure to advance rapidly
under their supervision. The recitals
which have been given by the stu
dents of these departments during the
past school term have been a credit
to the entire community.
With the splendid faculty and the
energetic student body, prospects are
bright for the most prosperous year
in the history of the school.
