George Washington as you all
know,
The bravest and wisest of all
men;
He was elected president,
AS no other man could have
been.
He went to war at the trumpets
first sound,
And not one word did he say:
Until he was on the battle line
On the battle line far away.
And he fought well and bravely
too.
And not a single complaint did
make. nor did he shed a tear.

OUR new HIGH
School BUILDING
For MafiOn-Bond Election Must
Carry-A Word to The
Voters. Important!

Next Saturday July l, the vot-
ers of Marion will have another
opportunity to help make Marion
a bigger and a better town.
Marion has always been strict
ly school town and during its
years of steady growth the
school has been an important
factor in making the town what
it is today. AS our little town
has prospered, the school has
grown and today we find that
our present building, and equip
ment are absolutely mad equate
to meet the needs of our town
and county. Last year the high
school with an enrolment Of 1O8
was 80 crowded that the halls
had to be used as study rooms,
and after the second term began
many deserving young men and
women, who are seeking an edu-
cation, were turned away from
lack of room.
There are l25 or more common
school graduates in the county
this year and many of them have
already expressed a desire to en-
ter high school in September.
With the present building and
equipment the school cannot
care for them.
This is our day of opportunity
and if we fail to provide for
these-our own boys and girls.
who are merely asking for a
chance" in life, if we as voters
fail them now, at this time when
We have this golden opportunity
to make cur school better and at
the same time to render service
TO cur own people. if we fail now
a "wayfaring man" can see
what the result will be.
But the citizens of Marion are
not going TO fail, they have never
failed US in the past and we are
sure that they will not fail us in
tnis hour of need. The school
children in Marion and Critten-
den county are asking you for a
chance to make the most of life;
they are pleading with you to
give them, by your vote, the
kind of an education which will
make lie easier and happier for
them. We are sure that you will
not deny them
If you believe in Marion, in
your school and in the childhood
of Marion and Crittenden county
help us by your vote and in
fiuence to give US the room and
the equipment, which are neces-
sary to make the Marion High
School meet the needs and the
demands of the boys and girls of
this part Of the state.
Yours for better. schools,

Hollis Franklin, Prin.
