Nearly lOfi persons, not counting students, who numbered about 80, made the trip, Iretter known as the “Pilgrimage to 'Tamassee.’’ Mrs. L. F. Hobart, regent^of the national D. A. R. association, removed the first lump of dirt, stating that with the co operation of all chapters, coanpletion of the new unit was assured, j The school is located about 7.5 miles from Greenville, being about 10 miles I from Walhalla. Extreme^',’ muddy roads encountered after leaving Wal halla, prevented the visitors from reaching Tamassee as soon as had been expected. Arriving at the school about 11 o’clock, a brief tour of the school and surroundings was made by the vis- 'itors,.this being followed by a meet ing in the school auditorium, Mrs E. C. Doyle of the school board of direc tors, presiding. After the invocation, pronounced by E. W. Estes of the Walhalla Rotary club, guests were in troduced from the stage, and were welcomed to Tamassee. Mrs. John C. Coulter, state regent, responded to the welcome and spoke briefly on the aims of the D. A. R. association to ward improving, the school. Mrs. Hobart then gave a brief his tory of the school, since its establish- jment in 1916, stating that unlike a monument of brass or stone, the I school, whose influence would be far I reaching, would be a reminder of the jancestors of the students, who helped I make this country independent. Mrs. Charles E. Herick of Illinois, chair man of the committee on patriotic educationj, spoke on the principles of the D. A. R., urging the observance of patriotic holidays in memory of famous Americans. i “There are 16 schools in the United States in which the D. A. R. is inter-, ested, but there are only two which jijare entirely supported by the organi- ' nation, namely, Tamassee, and the ;Kate Douglas Smith school in Ala- |bama. Thus, you see, we are putting ■forth every effort p''ssible to make Uhis school the finest we know hnw,’’ she said. . j Mayor Morse, of Walhalla, then [welcomed the delegation on behalf of jhis city, the nearest to the school, ex- [ pressing his pride in Tamassee and commending the work of the D. A. R. Mr. Estes spoke a few words from the Rotary club of Walhalla. Other delegates spoke briefly, and the program was concluded with the alma mater and talks from two mem bers of the senior class, the first ever to the graduated from the 11th grade, this class having been added only last year, making Tamassee a fully ac credited state high school, although its enrollment includes the first grade on up. Fourteen will be graduated next spring. Lunch was served in the dining room of the South Carolina house, prepared by the older girls of the institution, and featured by shor^ talks from of ficials, this concluding the meeting. Plans for the new building mclude basement equipped with a refriger ation plant and storage rooms, and two stories, the first to include a din ing room capable of accommodating 175 persons, and the second to be .used as sleeping quarters. It will be con structed of brick and native stone, the cost approximately $30,000, sli.ghtly over $3,000 of which has already been subscribed.
