Davis High School
Opens In New Building:
Classes began in the new Davis
School building September 16th.
The students and teachers were
thrilled to get out cf the barra ks
into the new class rooms. There
are twelve class rooms and an
office, at present the office is

The students are proud of the
new school as well as the patrons.
In March 1946 the stone build¬
ing was destroyed by fire. Many
people said it would never be
rebuilt but it has. This was
made possible by the cooperation

a good job. We want every cue

Drunk Driving Stress-
ed In Charge To Jury
The September term of super-
ior court began promptly at 9
a.m. Monday morning as the
jurors were drawn it appeared
that more were asking to be ex-
cused from duty than at the
March term. Judge Paschall was
as lenient as posible about this,
but kept repeating he must have
48 travel se juiois for Wednesday
as he understood there was an
assault and attempt murder case
to come up.
After the grand jury had been
selected they retired to another j
room where they elected Mr. Dan
1 . Brown as foreman. The
Judge in his charge to the Jury
spoke of the number of cases
Dade has been having of driving
whiie under the enfluence of
liquor. He said that his fine for I
this offense was a minimum of
$75.00. He realized this a i
was
very stiff fine but if the drunken
driving wasn’t corrected he
would have to make it still more
severe. He asked us how we
felt about this situation, as for
himself, he said, he felt that
there was no excuse for this; that
it was dangerous and he did not
treat life lightly. He charged
the grand jury with investigating
the cases brought before them,
investigating the Court House
and Jail records; with fixng the
compensation for • the jurors
which at present is fixed at $4 a
day.
Mr. Jim Jenkins was made
baliff for the grand jury and
Messers H. Grady Wilson, J. H.
Baty and Jim Breedlove for the
court.
There were few i ivil cases to
be heard, some were not ready
and some had been stricken off.
Mrs. Inez D. Neal was granted a
divorce and custody ol the child
in her suit, against Buri E. Neal.
There were seven cases of
driving a car whito drunk
brought before the Court—Each
■
was fined $75.00 with a warning
that tne second offense would |'
be $150. and 6 months. Those i '
who paid this fine were Robert j
Garrett, Ray H. Buckles, Wnford
D- Lewis, J. D. Wizell, Edward
Nyitray, Tommy Gross and Bur-
rell E. Neal. Walter W. Graham
was fined $34.35 for possessing
whiskey. 1

NUMBER 37.
Dedication Services At
Davis High School
The building to be Davis High
School was formally dedicated
Sunday afternoon. This new
building is constructed on the
sight of the old building which
burned several years ago. The
base is of the same beautiful
stone of the original building
and the rest has been construct¬
ed of concrete blocks. Enough
cf the school has now been com¬
pleted so that' all of the 500
children have been moved out
of the baracks and are attending
classes in the new building.
An inspection tour was made
by those present before the Dedi¬
cation Service.
The service was neld out in the
open in a still uncompleted part
of the school.
On a platform on the east side
shaded by the wall of the build¬
ing. About 75 people who are
interested in the rebuilding of
the Davis School listened and
poined in an inspiring Dedi¬
cation Program.
The program was opened by a
song, “Georgia Land” Mr. Law-
son, the new principal gave a
brief history of the beginning of
the consolidated school and why
it was named for Dutton Davis—
Rev. W. M. Bayne gave a most
uplifting and bouyant' devotional.
This was followed by the song;
Praise Him! Praise Him! and the
dedicatory speech by Mr. T. J.
Lance, District Supervisor of
Georgia Schools. Mr. Lance told
us that 10 years ago that there
had been an appropriation of one
million dollars ih tne State Bud¬
get for schools, last year the
budget was 37 million and this
year under the minimum Found¬
ation Program the schools were
asking for 83 million. Under
the present State set up there
were no funds to assist the
counties in a building or ex¬
pansion program and part of this
this 83 million would be set aside
for this purpose, “this is a lot
of money,” he told us, “we think
of Georgia as a poor state but
do you know that the people In
Georgia spent 127 million dol¬
lars on liquor, cigarettes, cos¬
metics and other luxuries last
year?” Mr. Lance also told us
that Davis had 500 pupils this
year 100 of whom were High
School pupils. This gives Davis
enough enrollment to be eligible
to be an accredited High School
and he urged those interested
in the school to try and get on
the accredited list as soon as
possible.
The program closed with the
singing of Onward Christian
Soldiers, the Davis High School
Alma Mater and a prayer by
Rev. Bayne.
