On Tuesday 15th, Prof. W.C. Reed with other teachers manifested their interest in the National Park by taking their entire school to the highway, where they were joined by quite a number of the community folk, to witness the passing of the motorcade. What more could we do? Shoal Creek joins hands with other sections of the country for any kind of building up or improvements. In the procession we recognized the Editor of the Journal and we presume several other Editors, and perhaps Governors, Senators, Congressmen, with many other gentlemen and ladies of renown, all of whom, of course we could not recognize so readily. But by far the most striking feature of the occasion to us was the friendship, fellowship and good cheer that prevailed throughout. Tho’ the majority were strangers to each other, it seemed like on band of Brotherhood.
On Saturday night the school gave an entertainment and ice cream supper for the purpose of raising money to buy Library books. Prof. Reed stated in an earnest appeal the need of raising $300 for that purpose. Over $200 of the amount was subscribed within a short while. We have hopes that we will soon have a fully equipped, Standardized High School. Our teachers and patrons are making a strong, united effort to this end.
