PICKENS COUNTY |
TRAINING SCHOOL
Pickens. S. C.?How glad are we
all of May time. The name, some
writers say come from the Latin
word meaning to grow, and this
would, .seem a fitting name indeed,
for how things do grow in this
beautiful month, the month of
fruit blossoms.
But, however May came by its
name we know that in ages and in
all Lands it has been the custom
to look upon the month of May
with great favor. The Romans
held a festival in honor of Flora,
? the goddess of flowers so the Pick
ens County Training school has
sponsored the "Crowning of Hei
Queen" at a very elaborate occas
sion held at the school May 3rd.
