Nearly All
Fair Group
Back Home
Few Remain in New
York, Some w t h
Relatives, for Short
While Longer; Boys
and Girls Enthused
Over Trip to Big City

Most of the upwards of $50 to 175
Henderson people who attended the
observance of North Carolina Day at
the Worlds Fair in New York last
Monday had returned home today,
I and boys and girls in the high school
, band and other boys and girls were
still talking with enthusiasm about
their trip.
A small contingent left New York
Tuesday night and arrived home
Wednesday morning. The largest
body, including most of the band or
ganization, left New York shortly be-
fore noon Wednesday and arrived
home at 8:15 p. m. Still another con-
siderable group came at $3.50 o'clock
this morning after leaving the
metropolis Wednesday night at 9:45.
The others will Straggle in by train,
automobile or boat to Norfolk on to-
ward the end of the week. Some of
those remaining over are with rela-
tives or friends, and a few will make
prolonged stays.
Opinion of those who have return
ed has been unanimous on the value
of the trip to the boys and girls, as
we'll as to the great and widespread
favorable notoriety the band and the
community in general received by
reason of the fact that the trip was
made. The consensus was that the
money spent for the bands trip was
a genuine asset to Henderson and
one of the best investments it ever
made.
One had only to engage the young
people in conversation to learn what
they thought OF the big city and the
big fair. They were full of it and
enthused to a marked degree. And
that went for most of the chaperones
and other adults.
That the band made a name for
itself and put Henderson on the map
in really big way was recognized
as a certainty. The band got wide
recognition and applause for its work
at the exercises of North Carolina
Day and on other occasions.
"A tremendous throng was on hand
at the passenger station Wednesday
evening to welcome the band and
others of the party home from the
lair. The crowd was almost as large
as that which gathered last Satur-
day night to see the party of some
l25 to 13O off for New York. The
contingent that got home Wednes-
day evening travelled in a special
day coach aboard a fast Seaboard
Air Line train, and children and
chaperones and adults in general
had good time all the way. 1t was
hot day, but the coach was air
conditioned and comfortable.
The day trip gave the group an
opportunity to see many sights along
the route that they could not see, at
night on the northward journey.

cent actions.

THE residents OF the North Erd
have never been guilty OF spon-

heiofe they could enter. These
residenis in the North End do not

Nili because they have mingled

Therefore, Il Is unfair to Duke

or he has first played for the whites.

The sponsor OF the dance at INA

about he city. The reading on
those placards states that the

one knows that the card should

Was the sponsor afraid that the

was he afraid the mothers would
