munity in welcoming the hundreds OF
young folks to the town and to the col
lege, and help make all who visit jew
ell on that day feel when they go away
that Jewell is interested in and backing
the school. The band will play as the
parade comes into town and later on
vii render several numbers during the
program on the college campus. The

son corner up main street to the post
office, west one block and back to Main
