BADE SENIOR CLASS
RECEPTION AT DYER’S
Mary Townsend
After the class night exercises
•vere over, and all the folks had
;one home, the members of the
enior class gathered at the Dy-
r’s for a reception- I like to
tave never found an excuse to
’O. but finally found three sen-
ors and a teacher who wouldn’t
get to go because they didn’t
have a way to go home. Thes^
”our I latched on to like grim
leath and offered my services as
'hauffmir in exchange for an in¬
vite. Of course all of this was
vithout the knowledge and con¬
sent of the hostess, but she was
-mite courteous about it and
didn’t throw me out on my ear
The table was lovely. Some¬
body in that family is an artist
it arrangements. The punch
bowl wts surrounded by an ar¬
rangement of red verbenas and
ireens and on each end of the
’able was a large tray of cookies.
Naturally this part of the deco¬
ction appealed most of the
•oung guests.
Mrs. Dyer served the punch
tssisted by Mrs. H. S. Phillips
\fter refreshments were served
mmes were enjoyed by the
mests.
I wish that I could tell you ex¬
actly what each sweet girl grad¬
uate wore and just how very
ovely each one looked, but I find
’hat I can’t get the right name
connected with the proper dress
Roselyn was in white which is
r o becoming to her. Imma Dean
Lacy wore blue, don’t tell, but
'hat dress is stunning when it’s
nulled down in the off-shoulder
r tvle. Ruble Livingston alsr
-"ore blue. Edna Belle Cagle
wore blue with a corsage of red
carnations. Charlotte Sullivan
neiir Wallen and Clara Cuzzort
wore nink. Edna Lea wore white
-nd Vweinia Kenimer wore blue
When Elene was taking their
nictur^s thev looked like a big
bouquet, of flowers-
I haven’t been able to see a
ingle senior this morning to get
i complete guest list so next
•••eek I shall put a P. S. to this
article and tell you who else was j
Miere and what they wore.
Right here and now a full
naragraph should be dedicated
'o as handsome a bunch of boy
grads, as I have ever seen. The
boys all wore white pants and
dark coats AND a rose in theii
’apel. They really looked grand.
Now I wonder if these girls aren’t
i ust a little sorry that school j
will be out soon.
Mrs- Frank Morrison spent the
week end with her sister, Mrs.
j Henry Quarels and her family at
East Lake.

Dr. Charles J. Costner, owner
ol Dade’s new and only theatre,
announces its opening on June
1st. The theatre building, which
has been built by Dr. Costner,
is located on the south side of
Trenton on Highway 11.
The property on which the
building now stands was pur¬
chased by Dr. Costner in the fall
of 1946. After many set back the
erection of the building was fi¬
nally started and is now comple¬
ted. This theatre, approximate¬
ly 35x115 feet in size is construc¬
ted with concrete blocks. There
is a front foyer where the tickets
v/ill be sold by Mrs. Costner and
there will be a popcorn and can¬
dy counter presided over by Mrs.
Wanda Brandon. A door to the
left leads to Dr. Costner’s office.
The theatre itself will seat 400
people. Gas heating for winter
and fans for summer have been
installed for the comfort of the
patrons. Though the building Is
practically fire proof no smok¬
ing will be allowed on the prem¬
ises.
All the movie equipment is new
and of the most modern design.
The screen is of a new type
which increases the clearness of
the picture and relieves any
strain on the eyes. The acous¬
tics of the theatre promote the
distinctness of the sound system.
The theatre has a stage which
can easily be adapted for the
use of actors and actresses in
the giving of plays.
Dr. Costner was born and rear¬
ed in North Carolina and for the
past five years has been a resi¬
dent of Chattanooga. He is
married to Mrs- Catherine Jane
Costner and they have three
children, Franklin, in college,
Rose Mary, graduating from high
school this year, and Mary
Lourds still in the elementary
grades. As soon as it is possible,
Dr. Costner hopes to build a
home here so that he can make
his residence in Dade county.
