second day of the seventh annual

dreds of people gathered at Tivoli

Sunday afternoon where the large
crowd of hOmecomers had gathered
to listen to the homecoming address
which was delivered by Hon. George

Twelfth judicial circuit. Although the
weather cleared afterward and hun
dreds enjoyed a fine evening on the
island the downpour completely upset
the plans of the homecoming commit
teees. The early morning hours gave
promise of a splendid day but a show

aged the street decorations and delay

forerunner of what was to follow later
on.
The homecoming festivities began
on Saturday evening when a huge
throng of people paraded Main and
West Main streets to view the beau
tiful street decorations, hear the mu-
sic and witness the street perform
