Auditorium Equipment
OF Interest

A large committee, having three
representatives each from the d. A.
R., the Woman's Club, the high school
P. T. A. and the school board met in
the Woman's Club tea room to dis
cuss the expenditure of an auditorium
fund raised eight TO ten years ago by
different organizations toward an au-
ditorium. The amount of this fund
is now between seven and eight hun
dred dollars. 1t was the concensus of
opinion that this sum might be wisely
expended for a grand piano for the
auditorium stage, with the option Of
moving it to a larger auditorium
whenever such may be built in the
city, such a possibility being promised
in the expected consolidation of city
and county high schools.
Announcement was made by board
members that the seats are here,
ready to be placed, and that action
would be taken Immediately for
equipping the stage from city appro-
priations, and that the high school
P. T. A. would be relieved of that
expected burden.
Mrs. S. G. Pryor, Sr., acted as
general chairman. Others present in
cluded Mesdames Z. J. Dorminey,
