CALHOUN FALS SCHOOL gi GIVES ENTERTAINMENT 1 The 'Calhoun Falls public school e closed its spring term with a beauti- b ful play. The play was largely at- ? tended by the home-folk and many a from a distance notwithstanding the |] fact it was a pay entertainment. The |j children from the largest boys and S girls to the smallest tots performed 1] their parts most admirably. Time ^ after time the large and enthusiastic a audience cheered the brilliant young ? actors to the echo.. Jt was hard to {|j realize that some of them at least S were not professionals. And this being the first entertain- ? ment of the kind ever staged in our g little town we are justifiably proud of the talent that has so notably come -jfe) to the front, and all of this from a b three teacher school. Much of this magnificent success [|| so recently in our midst is due to jfj A-f Mipft T-iwwiA fUfl (3 l/Ut; CU-Vlba Ui.

And it is now the hope and dream |j of many of our leading citizens and g others that ere long ve shall have s the gracious privilege of erecting a s handsome and spacious high school S building to take care of our ever @ growing needs. 3 We have splendid people, excel- a lent climate, good water, fertile lands a most satisfactory railroad facilities. & The one crying need of our commu- S nity is better schools and better j| churches.
