ball rolling.
The Herald has received many suggestions ways and
but refrans from publishing them preferrng that
the ognators present them in person at Monday nights
meeting. One exception will be made-he suggestion of
Sup Agarn that the day before the opening of the fair
be set aside the date of the dedication of the Junior
Grade High School building This would undoubtedly be
strong magnet for school alumni.
That our wanderers appreciate the opportunities of
Homecoming Week is attested by letters which
have been received since the Herald first made the
ton. Read what Harry Sinclair Lewis has to say Harry
came back few days after being eight
By SINCLAIR LEWIS
1t is perfectly obvious that homecoming to
Sank Centre means the redscovery of lakes and fields
and woods, of the natural beauty that well stands
comparison with any place you may wish to name;
and perfectly obvious too that the rediscOvery of
the Arch, the Bridge, the > Crossing, the Indian
Mound, brings back the Days Play to those Of
who born in Sank Centre spent child -
hoods here But wish to recommend the prescrp-
ton of Drs Wallace and Kusba s9Take one home
coming week to restore your faith in mankind" for
reason which should peculiarly appeal to all who
have gone from Sank Centre to some large city.
1t will give you friends again!
The urbanites who used to live in Sank Centre
will understand what mean when say that out of
the hundreds or thousands, millions, of people in
their city, they have but few friends The dis
tances the nervous tension, forbid. When returned
to Sank Centre the other day after years of absence
it astonishing and delightful to be able to hail
every other the street by his name; to find
the whole world composed of friends; to find that
there plenty of people who remember ones first
name! To go down the pleasant streets in the
shine and be able to say, Hello, Fay! "Mornin'
Charley! "How you, Edw without receiving in
return the CONCEALED stare of the big cty-that alone
would make it worth while to many miles to be
present at Home Coming Week. The abonl-
Unable existence of the Great War would seem to in
dictate that the art of friendship is dead but
to Sank Centre restores ones faith
