MARIETTA'S NEW HIGH

The Board of Education is indeed to be congratu-

Marietta by having new high school buildingerect-

time. The after on of the public had been drawn
to the needs of the pupils and the needs of the
teachers in the form of better facilities and more
apparatus, etc And when the attention of the pub
lie is drawn to a certain thing continuously interest
is aroused and where interest is aroused improve
ments always follow. The hard work of the board
with the assistance of the Parent-Teacher Associa-
tons succeeded in supplying for Marietta one of the
best equipped and most modern high school build
ngs in this part of the country. All the hard work
done by these organizations help the future Marietta
citizens When town begins to take an interest
in its future and its future citizens it is doing ex
actly the right thing, but when a community does
not look after the interests of its future citizens it is
certainly doomed for down fall Marietta has for
long time felt the need of better educational fac
tiles but the town can now point with pride to the
step we have made to build up good, true, educated
and patriotic Marietta citizens.

Call Marietta a
"City of Homes"

In the past few years Marietta has
seen substantial growth in her city,
and her outlook at the present for
continual growth is unlimited.
The aid of the Chamber of Com
merce, and other civic organizations
of Marietta, has helped Marietta
come forward in leaps and bounds.
Her people are taking more pride in
their town as whole by identifying
their individual homes. We do not
believe that you will find another lit
tie city the size of Marietta in North
Georgia with a brighter outlook than
Marietta, nor do we believe that you
will find another city in North Geor-
gia, with as many beautiful homes as
are in Marietta
Everybody from the home owners,
to the renters, seem to take unusual
pride in the appearance and upkeep
of the place where they are living.
We have had numerous strangers
from other cities come to see us, and
after showing them about the city,
the thing that impressed them most
was the fact that Marietta had such
an array of beautiful, well-kept
homes, therefore we believe that Ma
rietta can be made the garden spot
of North Georgia, and recognized as
the Getty of Homes"
