HOLMES JUNIOR
NEW

The Mother-Daughter banquet,
Sponsored by Mrs. Frank Branch and
the Girl Reserve Club of Holmes
County Agricultural High School,
MAS given Il. The school dining hall
on Tuesday evening at seven-thirty.
Large bowls of spring flowers,
tastefully arranged, decorated the
tables. The color scheme of pink
AID purple was carried out in the
menu, place cards, and favors. At
each mothers plate was a small
corsage made of violets and pink
hyacinths. The attractive place
cards were in purple and white.
Dele Shanks, president of the Girl
Reserve Club, had charge OF the
program. She gave the welcome to
which Mrs. Billy Montague res
pended. Virginia Wilkes gave a
short but impressive talk on "The
Flowers, Our Mothers, after which
Mrs. ID. j. Forde very beautifully
responded or the subject; "The
Buds, Our Daughters. Mrs. Frank
Branch told of the work of the
club and invited the mothers to at
tend a meeting that will be hell

The workshop at Holmes County
Agricultural High School and Junior
College has been for some time and
still is a busy place.
For a month OF more nearby far
mers have been bringing their
rlows, wheelbarrows, wagons. etc.
to be mended. The greater part OF
the work has been done by the high
echool boys under the supervision
of X. W.. Almond, agriculturist.
The farmers pay for the mater
ial used to do the mending, and
the boys give their work. Getting
farm implements repaired in this
way is a great help to the farmers,
and the work is valuable training
for the boys.
According to r. NJ. Branch, pre-
sident, a course in shop work will
he offered to college boys next
school session.
The members Of the YWCA have
been studying the life of Christ. Al
their last program, arranged by

Audrey c, Simpson has 'out.

Audrey wouldn't attract even

the fact she is the daughter OF
Ernest Simpson by his first
marriage-to the New York $50

herself Mrs. d. Parsons Simp-

ten, Ernest Simpson happened
