FIRST ANNUAL IN FIFTEEN

What's this hum and buzz we have
heard around the halls lately? It is
nothing more or, less than discus
sion of the possibility of a 1896 Ken
Hi annual. Just think! If we do sue
coed in our efforts to obtain one, it
will be a record breaking event, as
the last annual was issued a great
many years ago-in 1921 to be exact.
Some thirty students have been
working diligently and frantically
for the past three or, four weeks
scraping together all the bits of
information they can unearth for
the contents of this tentative an

Elaine Petitjean has done some
very excellent work as artist and
Marcia Vincent has been named as
annual poet. Eugene Babcock was
chosen Editor-in-Chief and Alma
Dean Wysong, assistant editor. The
responsibility of business manager
was bestowed on Mary Thresher,
with John Stafford acting as assist
ant. Miss Helen Michaelsen was
named faculty advisor with Miss
Rena Savage as assistant advisor.
If all runs smoothly for sever
al days it is to be hoped that the
dummy will be completed by the
coming weekend.
The success of the venture de-
ponds largely upon the cooperation
of students with the business
manager. However, if all work to-
gether we are sure to see success
crown our labor. Since the staff has
set their goal for 200 sales, it's up
to the Students to do their part in
supporting the annual-which will
be called the title Of former Ken-Hi
ANIMALS.
After much elaboration the A. S.
B. Council settled that the price of
the finished annual should not ex-
coed $1.00, SO start saving your
pennies and tokens Immediately in
order that you too may purchase
one of these works of art.

Gregg's face fell. because he was
so disappointed. He thought that
he was gaining popularity with the
girls and that Lorraine was going
to stop and chat with him. But he
went along peacefully.

After some investigation, it has been
discovered that Dean Nagley will
sing Coming Thru the Rye" and
Bob Skuse will Groom "Let Me Call
You Sweetheart" to Vivian Mad
dox, who swears she will blush.
In spite of this, the surprise may

which all of us should be proud to
own. If we are to have an Annual
all of the students should give their
whole hearted support.
The annual will be financed for
the most part by money paid for
each annual by the students. The
ANIMALS will be priced low enough

so that practically every student
should be able to buy one. The an

ing the work for the work, but on
you students rests the responsibility
to have this annual. You must get

VOTES ASKED ONLY
FOR SHADE TREES
Details of Procedure on Gar
den Club Program To
Follow Selection

Citizens who express their opinion
as to a tree to be designated as an
official tree for Henderson are re-
quested to vote without any reference
to shrubs, as the program of the Hen
derSon Garden Club, sponsoring the
referendum does not contemplate the
planting of shrubbery, it was explain
ed today by Mrs. A. S. Watkins, chair
man of the committee in charge of
the balloting.
Mrs. Watkins ard S. T. Peace ap-
peared before th>: Henderson Rotary
club at it's meeting Tuesday evening
and explained what the garden club is
trying to do. They found the members
well acquainted with the project and
very much interested in the under
taking.
Ballot boxes, with ballots, have
been placed in several stores for the
convenience of citizens desiring to
give expression to their views. No
ballots have been collected from any
of these boxes, though a number have
been deposited in them, it was said
today. The campaign for the selection
of a tree will last through this week,
and in that period of time every per-
son interested in the selection of an
official tree for Henderson is asked
to vote a ballot, if he or she has not
already done so. The ballot may be
placed in one of the boxes or sent di-
rect to Mrs. Watkins Mr.. Peace, Mrs.
]. A. Cooper or Mrs. S. P. Cooper
members of the garden club commit
tee.
Many suggestions have been heard
as to the type Of tree that ought to
be selected, but the garden club mem
bers have not sought to lead the vote
being taken, leaving every one free to
make the choice without suggestion.
After the ballots have been counted
and decision reached, the club will
outline plans whereby trees may be
obtained and how and where it thinks
they ought to be planted best to
beautify the city

Eugene Teiser, Jr., and Dick Jones,
Jr., working off credits for Boy Scout
merit badges or medals, won dis
tinction several nights ago that may
get them far more recognition than
they had anticipated, and which
made heroes of both of them, accord
ing to a story that came to light to-
day. Almost singlehanded they
brought menacing forest fire under
control in the wee small hours of last
Sunday morning, and saved untold
damage to trees and woodland just
west of the city.
The boys had gone to the Scout
cabin to the west of the rural home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joel T. Cheatham,
several hundred yards off the Hen
derson-Oxford road. They were spend
ing the night there. In some way they
were aroused about 4 o'clock Sunday
morning, and observed the WOODS
aflame near the cabin. They at first
concluded they were no match for the
fire, and ran to the home OF Mr.
Cheatham, aroused him and sollclteo
his assistance The three of them'
however, concluded they could not

MR.. ROSE ENDORSES
PROJECT FOR TREE
Rotary President Thinks 1t
May Lead to Big Things
For City

Further endorsement of the Hender-
son Garden Clubs project for the
selection of an official tree for Hen
derson was given in letter today by
7. B. Rose, Jr, president of the
Rotary club. Mr.. Rose thinks the idea
may grow into a great development
for the city eventually. His letter, ad-
dressed to Mrs. A. S. Watkins chair
man of the garden clubs committee
in charge of the program, follows:
"On behalf of the Henderson
Rotary club 1 wish not only to en-
dorse but to encourage the movement
recently started by the Garden Club
of Henderson to plant a certain
species of tree or shrub in our fast
growing little city. The Rotary club
has always encouraged the spirit Of
civic pride and has sponsored any
movement for the identification of
Henderson and stands ready now to
cooperate in any way it can with
your organization.
May 7 suggest that l believe the
inEAo-club activities committee COM
posed of two members each from the
Lions, the kiwanians, and the Rotary
club, and the American Legion will
welcome an opportunity to lend its as
sistance to this worthy undertaking.
"This movement may have a far
reaching effect on the future growth
of our town. It may mean a new
growth and prosperity for Henderson.
Surely it will tend to give us talk
ing point" in advertising our town
which may spread far and wide. The
Dogwood Festival brings thousands
of visitors to Bristol, Tenn, the
Rhododendron Festival does the same
thing for Asheville, while the Apple
Blossom Festival held annually at
Winchester, Va, and the Rose Fes-
tival held annually at ThOmasville,
Ga, attract people from all over the
United States. So why may not Hen
derson become a city of distinction
within a few years because of your
planning and the subsequent planting
of a certain kind of tree or shrub,
and because of this distinction, Hen
derson should attract thousands Of
visitors, many of whom may wish to
make their home here because they
appreciate our civic pride, our love
of beauty, and the spirit of coopera-
| tion and friendiness manifested in
our town. In this way may we expect
to grow.
"The Rotary club is ready to help,
and I am confident the other clubs,
as we'll as every citizen, are eager to
| join in this splendid movement Sc
courageously started by the Garden
Club of Henderson,

The committee was unanimous in
endorsing a resolution of the research
committee of the State association in
favor of the bankers institute, and
it was decided to proceed with the
program. 1t will last for two weeks,
and will bring leading banking au-
thorities from northern universities
teaching courses on the subject down
to be in charge of courses that will be
offered. Glasses for three hours daily
will be offered, and, while the in
stitute will be for the benefit pri-
marily of bankers, the general public
interested will be welcomed into the
gatherings Mr.. Cheatham explained.
1t will !ce much in the form of a sum-
mer school for bankers.
In addition to these matters, the
executive committee at the meeting
Tuesday discussed certain legislative
matters to come before the General
Assembly, as they affect bankers and
banking in general in the State.

Four thousand cards for use in re-
cOrding individuals under the new So
cial security law had been mailed to-
day at the Henderson post office to
employers in the city. But this did
not represent all workers in the city
by any means, Postmaster ]. R.
league said, both because many con-
Germs here were not reproted on here
through district or home offices, and
because a number Of original cards
sent to employers ten days ago had
not even yet been returned.
No Individual employee cards were
mailed to concerns which did not an
swer the original cards asking for the
names of all men or women in their
employ. Mr.. league said some 300 OF
these original cards were mailed, and
only about 200 of them had been sent
