The Sing-Song committee, who are
responsible for the school children's
singsong did a wonderful job. This
part of the program was appreciated
by every one present—And let me
say here that these children and the
other young people who were here
are to be complimented for their
conduct the. entire day. There is not
a single sign on the building any*
where to show any evidence of ma-
licious mischief of any kind. Chero-
kee County has just cause to be
proud of the school children of our
county.
The ladies who worked so earnest-
ly in decorating the building did
their work well and we appreciate
their untiring efforts. Everyone co-
operated with them. The florists of
the county, as was evidenced thru-
out the building, contributed so much
to the decorations and their gener-
osity was greatly appreciated.
The 'Rusk, Alto and Jacksonville
high school bands contributed so
much to the day. These organiza-
tions are rendering a most worthy
service to their respective commun-
ities and to the county, and the en-
tertainment they gave us was of the
very highest type, and we express
our thanks to them for adding so
much to the program on this occasion
