REVIEW
BY JULIA ESTADT
School Opened

0SHoOA OPNhCN
Something which everyone
expected but put off thinking
about as long as possible finally
came into being last Tuesday
morning. Yes, school opened.
Out in the brick buildings on
Playground street there was a
new set of bewildered faces as
the seventh graders, fresh from
the grade school, tried to find
their way to the right rooms;
and another set of faces, those
of last years Juniors, showing
they didn't think it was possible
that they were really seniors.
Among everyone there were
greetings, talk of summer vaca-
tions, and finally of schedules
and classes for the coming
school year. Naturally, there
were the usual amount of COM
plants but almost everyone had
his or her own special reason
for being at least a little glad
to be back.
According to Gilbert Weekley,
principal, an approximate en-
rollment of the four upper
grades is TT and in the seventh
and eighth grades 83.
New Teachers
Caldwell high school welcomes
two new teachers, Mrs. Rama
Steen and James Carter, to its
roster this year. Mrs. Steen,
former teacher at Belle Valley,
will fill a position in the English
department and Mr.. Carter,
former teacher in Dexter City,
will be in charge of the vocal
music department.
In behalf of the students of
Caldwell high school this
column wishes to extend to these
two new teachers a most sincere
welcome and a hope that work
ing together will be a benefit to
all.
Column Continued
This is the continuation of the
series of the column, "Redskin
Review" from Caldwell high
school which, last year, was very
capably written by Robert Barn
house to inform you of the
doings in your school. It is the
hope of this writer that the
column will continue in the same
informative manner that it has
in the past.

as cars were forced to park in

quite fitting.
More horses than ever before
came to the Noble county fair
this past weekend but a lot of
them had to be turned away.
There was grand total of l54
horses. Of this number, SO were
sent to Granville and over 80
went to McConnelsville and
some then went directly to Mari
eta. 1t was impossible to accom-
odate that many race horses,
according to A. H. Rich, who
said it was the greatest number
in the history of the fair.
Wyatt Bates designed the new
pulling sled used in the horse
pulling and tractor pulling con-
tests. 1t was made by Steve

Practically every refreshment
stand ran out of "buns" Friday
evening and Jimmie Landaker
worked all night Friday to have
fresh supply on hand for the
Saturday business, AS a matter
of fact, Landaker's bakery per-
sonnel went on night turn and
worked while others slept order
that they could enjoy hot dogs
and hamburgers at the fair.
The largest crowds in the his
tory of the fair were in attend
ance this year and it was fin
ancjal success from every angle.

to use the oval in the race track
for a parking lot.

It was estimated un-officially
that 1700 paid admissions to the
grandstand was chalked up for
the night presentation of the
WLW mId-western hayride show.
This was the largest of any one
crowd. 1t was also estimated that
at least 5000 paid their way into
the Playground on Thursday
night and again on Saturday
night with a smaller crowd of
around $500 for Friday evening.
Even though they charged to
get into the Playground Wednes-
day evening before the fair
opened, there was almost a
capacity crowd for the horse
pulling contest. There is no ques-

tractor pulling contests are very
popular features of the fair.
