PAGE &—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Feb. 29, 1968 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) band appeared, but I was too sleepy to stay awake to listen.) Well, they didn’t win a place in the Greatest Bands in Dixie contest, but they had a lot of fun, and, as Miss Paris said via telephone from New Or leans, “Newberry, South Car olina” was probably mentioned more Sunday than it will be again in a year’s time. People really knew that the City of Friendly Folk was represented at Mardi Gras. The happy, worn-out travel ers were to arrive in Newberry yesterday morning. I have an idea it will be at least a week before any of them is coherent enough to know what is going on! This was written before the band returns and I know they will want to say—a big Thank You to everyone who made their trip possible. That includes all school officials, all parents, and all of you who patronized the band fair booth and pur chased band barbecue tickets from which funds were secured to make the trip. And last, but not least, those of the parents who remained at home surely wish to thank the chaperones who I am sure, had a job on their hands keep ing track of a bunch of ex uberant teen-agers.

The informal sessions are an effort to bridge any existing communication gap between the colleges and the people of South Carolina. “The plan is two-fold in purpose,” explained a spokes man for the Presidents, “First of all the college chiefs are desirous of the best thinking of the people of this state with reference to what is expected in the fulfillment of their res ponsibility in Christian higher education. Secondly, the col leges want to give the people information concerning the needs of the colleges.” The Newberry meeting is one of 20 such sessions sched uled across Sputh Carolina be tween the weeks of February 21 and March 15.

Sixth graders give program The pupils of the 6th grade under the direction of Mrs. W. Preston McAlhany conducted the devotions at the regular chapel service at the Newberry Academy last Friday morning. They then gave a playlet based on the story of a plantation owner, Reuben Rouze, who had been imprisoned by Gen eral Washingtons agent for failing to pay a loan. The farmer’s children were sure that Washington, who was away as President of the Unit ed States, did not know of their father’s imprisonment. They wrote him to say that they knew him to be fair, kind and honest and that if their father could be released he would be able to pay the debt as soon as crops were gathered. The president ordered the release. The scene was laid in the study of the Rouzy home. Dav id Kinard played the part of the father; Debbie Leavell, the mother; Glenn Crouch, the teen-age boy; John Brooks, the younger brother; and Sharon Willingham, the sister. Announcements were made by Pamela Cobb.
