children Friday, parent*, teachers
and puipls leathering here to partici
pate in the annual school sing, spon
sored by the Baldwin county Federat
ed Clubs Mrs. E. R. Hines president
All of them enjoyed it. because
they said m> when asked by Mrs.
Hine, at the conclusion of the pro
gram.
Long before uie appointed hour,
parents and pupils began gathering
and forming line to be ready to join
in the musical program. G. S. C. W.
girls assited in organizing and direct
ing the pupils to their right schools.
Large placcardsr were held to desig
nate to the children where they should
go to Ik* with their crowd and none
of them lost time in lining up to
keep from delaying the highly syste
matized procedure.
Miss Beatrice llorsbrugh raised her
baton promptly at ten o'clock and
formerly ushered in the beginning
of the annual festival. The college
orchestra of stringed instruments
moved in clock light precision, filling
the auditorium with the strains of a
melodius classic.
The auditorium was packed to its
capacity. The little tote of the pri
mary departments occupying the
front seats, pyramiding back to the
balcony where admiring parents look
ed down on the gathering.
Individuals and grades and differ-
et groups sang their songs, entering
into their parts with great enthusiasm
and displaying rare skill and train
ing tne dinner tne cadet band played
several selections.
Manager Curry entertained the
county children at a special picture
at the Colonial. The theatre was
packed to its capacity and again that
spirit of happinew was in evidence
everywhere.
"The end of a per'ect Day" wa-
Mra. E. R. Hines comment as the
children filed out of the Colonial
ar*l took the streets of the city. "I
am as happy as the happiest child
h re." continued Mrs. Hines, and I
think Baldwin county and her chil
dren have don« themselves proud.”
We are lookig forward to next year
with even greater success, she con
cluded.
Hon. P. N. Bivins, School Superin
tendent wa s equally happy and it was
1 hfd opinion that nothing during the
whole school year brought so much
genuine happiness and did as much to
perfect Baldwin system as the "sing".
Every child, every teacher and every
parent has helped make this a suc
cess and we feel that if nothing else
had been done this year that our
wchool year has closed with huge suc
cess. It has helped the children, it
has made them know each other ard
has brought about a friendlier rela-
"THE RED LETTER DAY"
Annaul Baldwin County Sing
NELLE WOMACK HINES
Ye» Sir, twas down in Baldwin
That we had the Annual Sing;
And talk of May-Day parties?
Why. it just beat anything—
For all of Baldwin's Marys
And her Sammies were so thick,
(Just like that old time saying)
! Couldn’t stir ’em with m Met.
[They came in bright and eariy
And the Weather Man was good,
I For he had promised us a day
, | As dandy as he could.
Downstairs was filled with kiddies
For ’twas held at G. S. C..
j And upstairs in the "peanut"
' Just as happy as could be—
j There sa*. the doting parents,
Couiin Jane and Uncle Bill.
Just beaming on those kiddies
Ar.d applauding with a will.
My. how they sang! The "Choo-choo-
train,”
And "Cock-a-doodle-doo,"
"The Frog He would a wooing go"—
And then "The Fairy Crew”—
And some were patriotic songs,
And some were sacred too,
And some they'd known a long long
And some were right bran new.
And when they finished singing all—
“Three Bears” came on the run
A-chasing Goldie-locks about
And so we had some fun.
Then ’twas time for dinner and
We went to G. M. C.
The band was playing sweetly—so
Those kids went “on a spree.”
The "drinks” were ice-cold water
And the pinkest lemonade.
! They also had good ice cream
I Like they serve at “Ladies' Aid.”
! And oh, the nicest part of all
I’ll tell, now—do be still—
These “good things” all were given
By the men of Milldcgeville.
Yes rfir, there were the Mason's
And the Elks and the K. P-s;
j Kiwnnis, Junior Order—
Busy as a sw.srm of bees.
! The Mayor said the City’s finger
I MUST be in that pit—
I So there they were—-w« ate and
drank
Most "nuff” to make us die.
And oh (that pienic dinner!
Everything that you could wish!
Just think of it and presto—
There 'twas waiting on a dish.
Then to the movie-show we went.
The picture sure was fine;
If we could corner Mr. Curry
We’d "hand him out a line—"
Not only was the picture good—
(You should have heard them shout)
But every kid received a block
Of "O. Henry”—-coining out.
The Journal and the Telegraph,
They each sent o’er a man—
Was not that fine?—so kiddies
We’ll give ’em both "a hand.”
And on the side walks all along
The flag? were flying free—
In honor of Baldwin children—
Never finer sight you’ll see!
At every corner Boy Scoutg
A "good turn” there to do—
As traffic cops—and such a help!
Another thing is true.
The Mayor sent to us that day
To use him if we could.
The Chief of Police—but you so?
The town was just so good,
We told the Chief to walk about
' And look his very best—
' And watch o’er all those kiddie?
well,
j And then to take a rest.
And mo this Sing is over.
And we all will make a plan
For next year’s so much better—
This will be an "also ran."
And as on this "Red Letter Day"
The sunset put a seal.
Nobody cared if they did go home
With a blister on each heel.
Not one hitch was audible in the
lengthy program given and every child
seemed beaming with joy as they
entered into their *nngs. The ladies
who had directed hte singing ar.d had
asisted Mrs. Hines in training the
children are to be complimented on
the .splendid results obtained.
Members of the Board of Educa
tion occupied the platform, with
representatives of the different dub?,
past presidents of the Federation and J
school representatives.
A number of guests were introduced!
by Mr*. Hines.
At the conclusion of the sing,
prizes were awarded to the winners
in the different essay contests that ■
has been conducted in the school. I

Puts this new
GENERAL @ ELECTRIC
Refrigerator
in your home!
T HE modern homemaker who
has a General Electric Re
frigerator has found to her sur
prise that it's just as easy to make
a luscious mousse as it used to be
to make an uninteresting rice
pudding! She finds that an aspic
is a welcome change from soup—
and less fuss to prepare!
In a word, the drudgery of plan
ning menus is now spiced with the
thrill of developing new surprises.
Left-overs come back to the table
in unexpected disguises. Even or
dinary salads and fruits become
crisper, better-flavored when they
are thoroughly chilled.
And the General Electric Refrig
erator is really revolutionizing the
marketing habits of the modern
homemaker. Instead of the every
day trip, she now goes only two
or three times a week. She saves
time, energy and money.
The unusual roominess and the
scientifically correct temperature
of the General Electric Refrigerator
makes it possible to store a quan
tity of food without any chance
of spoilage.
The General Electric is easy to
keep clean inside and outside.
The circulation of air through the
coils actually prevents dust from
settling. It's easy to dean under
neath, too, because the models are
all up on legs.
