Thanksgiving Dance at Skating Rink

Thanksgiving Dance at Skating Rink
The first big affair of Brookha-
vens winter program of social events
will be the Thanksgiving ball at the
new skating rink. When the young
folks commenced looking around for
suitable place to have their annual
Thanksgiving dance, wistful eyes
were cast toward the new hardwood
floor at the skating rink. Fish &
Untz, owners of the rink, when ap-
preached on the subject of giving up
the rink on Thanksgiving night,
readily agreed to turn the place ov-
er for dancing.
We'll do better than that said
the boys. ''We'll not only get the
floor in perfect shape and condition
for the occasion, but we'll attend to
securing the best orchestra in the
south to furnish suitable music. In
fact, we'll attend to all the details
to make the affair the biggest success
of any event of the kline, ever staged
in Brookhaven' The dance will be
an invitation affaif, and it is expect
ed that the young folks from all
neighboring cities will be here on
that night.

THE $I50,000.00 ISSUE
FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
A Consensus Of What is Expected t.
Be Done No Serious opposi-
ton Anticipated.

Citizens of Brookhaven will vot
upon the proposal to issue bonds t
the amount of $4,000 for tn
erecting. repairing and eQuippinI
school buildings, on December 4th
The somewhat equivocal wording o
the ordinance has awakened discus
sion, for while the public is famil
lar enough with the proposition o
building new high school, the us
Of the word buildings was confus
ing. Was the construction of tw,
buildings contemplated? Was th'
high school building" of populal
imagination to be transformed int
scattered units?
When questioned upon the subjec
Mr.. e. s. Bowlus, superintendent o.
schools, gave the following informa
tion:
The building will probably be {
single building, although the uni
plan of detached sections has beer
considered. 1t is planned to con
struct a thoroughly modern High
School with room for five or six
hundred students
The organization of pupils occupy
ing the new quarters will be for a
Junior and Senior High School. The
Junior High School will include the
seventh, eighth and ninth year stu
dents, who will be taught through
the departmental plan-that is. q
teacher of history for history classes
of the. different grades, teacher of
English for English in the different
grades, etc. The tenth, eleventh and
twelfth year students will compose
the Senior High School, in the same
building. They also will be taught
upon the departmental plan, as has
been the custom in these grades for
many years.
Pupils from grades one to six, in
elusive, will continue to be taught
in the present building. The 're-
pairs" of the ordinance has reference
to the present school quarters.
An auditorium with seating ca
pacity of about one thousand is con-
templated as a feature of the High
School Building, and it will be a.
valuable as community center.
Provision will be made for model
manual training. commercial and do
mestic science departments.
High School students who desire
to do so, may pursue studies in the
department for the last
two years of the twelve year curri-
culum and graduate from that, in
stead of the usual High School
course. A course of two years in
branches will include
stenography, book-keep-
ing, banking, commercial law, filing
and other kindred subjects.
Mr.. Bowlus is in correspondence
with architects of school structures
in many parts Of the country, as
we'll as in Mississippi, to the end
that the school and city boards may
have ample information in their
ask of providing worthy building.
Mr.. Finney and Mr.. Bowlus visited
he Junior High School building in
Jackson last week, and school build
ngs in Clarksdale, Cleveland and per
laps other places will probably be
viewed before any decision is made.
The matter of site for the new
has not been taken up.
Although the proposed bond issue
means an additional burden for the
ak payer, the necessity for new
chool building is so obvious that it |
GEMS unlikely there will be any ma
erial opposition.
The thoughtful citizenship of |
will ask only that the
money be wisely and economically
