More Than 200 Students Attend
BPWs Career Advancement Doy

Vancement day held at the Cald-
well high school auditorium last
Thursday under the sponsorship
of the Caldwell B.P.W. club was
considered a very successful one
from every angle with a number
of professional leaders cooperat-
ing to make it such success.
The anticipated attendance of
around 300 students was sharply
reduced when the Summerfield

account of high water with some
of the other county students not
attending for the same reason.
Prior to the general assembly,
a luncheon was served in the
high school by members of the
Home Economics class under the
supervision of Mrs. Rama Steen.
The luncheon was attended by
the professional instructors who
later spoke to the groups of
