LOCAL SENIORS,
JUNIORS ENJOY
BAiW, DANCE
The Junior Class entertained
the Senior Class of the Summer
ville High School with a banquet
and dance on Friday evening.
May 14. The banquet was held at
John’s Place, while the dance,
which followed, took place at
Sturdivant Gymnasium.
Roses, the senior class flower,
were featured in the decorations
at the banquet. A booklet, con
taining the menu, program and
space for autographs, was pre
pared in green and white, the
class colors, for those attending.
J. Frank Harmon, principal,
was the speaker of the evening,
discussing ‘ Georgia First and

C. B. Akin, County School Su

During the evening. Mrs. Har

the faculty with a gift.
The welcome was given by Pat

Dance
The gymnasium. beautifully
decorated as a garden, formed a
delightful and lovely setting for
the dance.
I A dainty white picket fence,
• enhanced with graceful vines
,; and roses, outlined the dance
floor. Lawn chairs and sturdy
pine trees added to the lovely
scene. A huge, yellow moon hung
high above the pines.
Punch was served from an old
rustic well by six girls.
’ | Monty Wilson acted as hostess,
’ and music was furnished by a
[ juke box.
The scene of the dance was
, planned and decorated by the
grammar school faculty and
their guests were invited.
1 EIRE PROTECTION
NEWS
We sure had a hot time of it
i four days last week. The hot sun
■ and wind has dried out the
i woods until it is very hard to
' stop a fire.
It was so dry last week that
rotten humus three and four
inches under the ground would
; burn. Three fires caught up again
this way last week after we were
sure they were safe.
One of the fires west of Sum
merville, was set Friday after
noon and was finally stopped at
1 a. m. Sunday, May 23, after
I burning 80 acres.
No person should try to do any
‘ burning whatever until we have
la good general rain. Everyone
I should be extra careful even with
cigarettes and matches when
smoking. Most of the time a cig
arette or a dropped match will
not start a fire, but they cer
tainly will when it is dry.
Green stuff burning at this
time of year makes such a smoke
that a fire looks ten times as bad
as it really is. This smoke also
hinders in extinguishing fires, as
often a man can’t stand the;
smoke, and you have to back up
further to back fire.

That first warning was generally

are law-abiding citizens, eager to
