NATIONAL MUSIC WEEK
OBSERVED MAY 6 TO 13
This week, May 6-13, is being ob
served as National Music Week
throughout our country. During the
week many valuable programs are
presented to the piXblic by means of
the radio.
Wednesday afternoon the members
of the Summerville Federated Music
club attended a silver tea given by
the LaFayette Music Ciub in the
home of Mrs. W. E. Enloe. Artists
from Atlanta presented a delightful
musical program. Miss Helen Knox
Spain, state director of publicity for
Federated Music Clubs, was an hon
ored guest. The tea was given for
benefit of Metropolitan Opera Club,
and was a delightful observance of
Music Week, too.
On Friday evening at 7:30 o’clock
in the High School Auditorium the
local club sponsors the operetta, “The
World’s Largest Family,” presented
by Mrs. John D. Taylor, head of pub
lic school music department, with co
operation of Grammar school teach
ers. This operetta was written by
Mrs. Taylor and under her able di
rection the children of the local
schools will give the public most
worthwhile entertainment. Admis
sion will be 10c and 15c and proceeds
will be used by public school music
department.
On Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock
the local club is sponsoring a vesper
service at the Methodist church. The
pastors and choirs of the Presbyter
ian, Methodist and First Baptist
churches are combining their efforts
to make this service a glorious climax
of Music Week activities. You have
probably never heard sweeter music
than lullabies sung by your mother.
She is probably largely responsible
for the deveopment of your musical
taste. ’Twould be a fitting tribute for
you to bring your mother to the
service on the Sunday which is her
day. The public is cordially invited
to this service.

HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS
ENTERTAINS SENIORS
The Junior ciass of the Summer
ville High school honored the mem
bers of the Senior class by giving a
lovely banquet and dance for them
on Friday evening, May 3.
The High school library was trans
formed into a dining salon of a Ship ■
and tastefully decorated in patriotic :
colors. The other guests at this
happy fete were the faculty members
and the other school officials and
thei- 1 wives.
Hoyt Williams, the president of the
Junior class, welcomed the group.
Pette Broome, president of the Sen
ior class, gave the response.
Mrs. Harry McGinnis, Mrs. Wil
lis James, the Junior home teacher,
were assisted by the Sophomore home
Ec class, in serving a most delicious
four-<?ourse dinner.
Mrs. Willis James (Coach Beatty)
as she is termed by her basket ball
girls) awarded basketbal letters to
Misses Louise Brown, Leatha John
son, Valerie Dalton, Geraldine Hill,
Arabelle Dodd and Bette Broome.
Appropriate music was rendered by
Miss Almazada Eilenburg during the
dinner.
The Juniors were unusually origi
nal in decorating the gymnasium by
turning it into an attractive ship.
After leaving the banquet, the
guests entered on the gang plank and
were greeted on deck by Captain An
drew Williams and other members of
the crew. Catherine Ramey, Betty
Hemphill, Dot Adams, Frances
Thomas and Betty Jean Storey were
dressed as sailor girls and carried out
the effect of the ship, acting as host
esses.
The lifeboats, anchors, helm and
even the crow’s nest made the deco
rations more realistic.
The seniors boarded the ship and
were started on the route to success
by their hosts and hostesses. Dancing
and games were enjoyed on the deck
of the ship and punch and cookies
were served at the bar. This lovely
evening was an occasion not only en
ioyed by the students but the entire
faculty, their escorts, board members
and their wives. This will always be
an outstanding date in the diary of
all who were present at the 1940
Junior-Senior banquet and party.
At very impressive services at the
South Summerville Baptist church
Sunday evening, which really marked
the closing of the tent revival serv
ices, eight persons were baptized.
Revs. Morgan, Cash and Stans
burry have started a tent revival in
LaFayette this week.

OGLETHORPE C. M. T.
TO BE HELD IN JUNE
The purpose of the Citizens’ Mili- ’
tary Training Encampment to be held
at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., this year
from June 12 to July 11 is to bring
together on a common basis of equal
ity for thirty days training, young |
men from all walks of life and from
all sections of the country. This
method of training promotes closer ,
social and national unity and ac- j
quaints young men with the privi-I
leges, duties and responsibilities of
American citizenship.
Self discipline, teamwork and lead- i
ership are stressed with a view of !
developing a higher moral and physi I
cal standard for American youth.;
These encampments, by an act of j
congress, are offered free to young i
men between the ages of 17 to 24 for
entrants, and ranging up to age 29
for advanced courses.
Free transportation to and from
camp is furnished. Food, lodging,
clothing and routine medical atten
tion are also furnished free. Read
ing material, writing material and
sports equipment are available, and
competitions in athletics and games
are open to all.
Applications for training may be
obtained from the camp commander,
Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., or from state
aides and C. M. T. C. county repre
sentatives. Applications for this
training will be accepted until June
10, 1940, without regard to county
quotas.
Character and Development
Young men learn by doing things
at these camps. They develop confi
dence and leadership by shouldering
responsibility. They are offered a
chance while at camp to lead others.
Military instruction and playing the
game as part of a team instils with
in these young men a broader outlook
on life and helps them to see the
other fellow’s point of view. The
camps train men ito act quickly and
effectively in an emergency.
Health and Physical Development
Accurate records show that young
men grow taller* gain weight and
learn to carry themselves (better
while attending these camps. Good
food, regular hours, outdoor exercises
and military training are the reasons.
The health of these young men is
given first consideration. The rigid
physical examination at these camps
often uncover unsuspected physical
defects which, with proper treatment,
are quickly corrected.
Good Food
The food in camp is good, plentiful
and wholesome. It is carefully pre
pared by experienced cooks, under the
direction of a mess officer who super
vises the purchase, preparation and
serving. Menus are carefully plan
ned, and a well balanced diet is as
sured.
