That was a very pretty compliment
paid the builders and decorators of our
school building Saturday by DR.. Cur
rcll when he said that Of the many
school auditoriums which he had Wis
itcd in all parts of the United States
"our' auditorium was the most
beautiful that he had ever seen. DR.

editorial on booster trips" several
days ago made the most refreshing re-
marks on the general booster question

Fountain Inn was under no Obliga-
