Junior-Senior Carnival
Just a word about the junior
senior. although it's over. I've
never seen such attractive deco
rations, except of course the one
we gave the seniors last year.
but the theme this year was en-
tirely different from anything else
the have ever used. 1t was a
carnival, and in the middle OF
the floor was a large red-ana-
white striped merry-go-round with
cardboard horses tackled to the
sides and colored lights strung
across the top. From the center OF
the gym to the balconies surround
ing the floor ran mu'tilcolored
crepe steamers. and from these
in the center of the floor hung
huge yellow balloons. At either
end of the gym, booths yer set
up where ice-cream, peanuts, pop
corn, and candy were given away.
Miss Texys Morris, teacher, por-
trayed the fortune teller, and did
all right in predicting the futures
of some of our seniors as we'll
as juniors and guests. o. K. Prld-
gen was master of Ceremonies
and in his southern voice. which
only he has, he introduced Flora
T. McIver who sang, Honey ,
Patty zones who played a medley
of pieces for the niano. and Clara
June Ward who thrilled the onlook-
ers with her exhibition of acrobatlc
skill. The program was topped OF
with a grand march, all present
taking part. Seen il the crowd OF
teachers and chaperones were
Miss Dorothy Harper wearing a
lovely black and white tered tai
feta dress tied with a bright red
sash, Miss Formy-Duval in a black
gown fashioned along simple but
outstanding lines, and two people
who really stood out in the crowd
because they are both SO swell
lust to look at - Major and Mrs.
Thomas Gordon. Mrs. Gordon is
the former Dorothy Reed Miller.
and will be remembered by all OF
those people who were in her
classes while she taught at Isaac
Bear.
Well, l know this isn't too much
news for now, but I still have some
more exams to study for, so III
close and get ba * to my books.
More tomorrow, but until then,
So long.

CONSERVATION NOTES
R. J. ROSS

The following farmers have re-
Gently made Soil Conservation farm
plans on their farms, with the help
of the Holmes County Soil Conser-
walton District technicians.
D. c. O'Briant, D. w. Herod, M. S.
Rogers, L. J. Hand, and D. c. Black
of West; A. J. Cakes and Ward
Montgomery of Durant. T. M. Hum
phries also Of Durant, made a Soil
Conservation farm plan on some
newly purchased land, which be-
comes a part Of the plan for his
home place which has been under
plan for several years.
These Soil Conservation farm
plans are made by the farmer with
the help of the District technician.
The plan of each farm is based on
a soils survey map, which gives the
type of soil, slope of the land and
the amount of erosion that has &C.
Cured. These three conditions
soil type, slope and erosion-permit
the land to be classified for its best
adapted use and for the treatment
it should have for that use.
The District Technician writes the
farm plan as planned by the farmer,
who will apply the conservation
practices to the land as conditions
permit with good farm management.
Mr.. Jesse H. Walton Of Acona who
had a stock pond constructed on his
farm last year expects to maintain
his pond dam by sprigging with
grass sod, filling the rills
that have appeared and applying a
nitrate fertilizer as needle to make
the bermuda grass grow well.
