We we're glad indeed to have
the Centennial Highway Boos.
ters remain with us for an hour
and half on their trip to Jack
son, Thursday. March Is. The
parpose Of the Bosters was to
stop at the various places on the
road and encourage the build
ing of good roads throughout
the State.
There were several distin
kuished members in this group,
alfof whom are deeply concern
ed in the upbuilding of the State
Of Mississippi. Among whom
we're. the Hon. Theo. G.. Bilbo,
eur present governor; Mayor
Foote of Gulfport; Hon. Frederic
Sullens of the Jackson Daily
News; The Senior Engineer of
the Federal Engineering Depart
ment of Washington, D. G. Mr..
Macbeth, the Chairman of the
State Highway Commission; and
several others who are greatly
interested in the Centennial Elk
position.
The student body was assem-
bled in the auditorium when the
Boosters" arrived. During the
time they were mere, several
interesting addresses we're de-
livered, the Governor being the
first to speak. Punch was served
to all before the speaking began,
by the Home Science Depart
ment. After the conclusion of
the ceremonies they continued
on their journey to Wiggins.
A larger crowd attended the
Stone County Field Meet than
had been expected.
The doings of the day demon
strated. to a most satisfactory
extent that Stone County,
slough young, has caught the
spirit Of higher and more eff
cient education, which is preva-
leHt throughout the State.
This meet exhibited the unex-
eelled talent of Stone County
citizens of tomorrow. It showed
the we'll organized system of
education which is being prac-
ticed throughout the County.
We took special note Of the
excellent exhibits which we're.
not merely to show off the
school, but portray more fully
the Importance Of scientific edu-
cation in order to make a Great
or Mississippi. "
