for Friday night of this week.

A large delegation of Olney peo-

Ingleside Friday night in a goodwill
meeting and program that was both
interesting and profitable. The night
was ideal for an open air meeting
of this type.
Preceding the program, the ladies
of the Ingleside church served a
lovely chicken dinner to one hundred
twenty-five Olney and Ingleside peo-
ple. The ladies spared no efforts to
provide and serve a supper that was
more than satisfying and pleasing.
Following the supper, the pro-
gram as announced in the last
week’s Enterprise was carried out;
with one or two exceptions. Instead
of the duet by Miss Mildred Bullock
and J. T. Wilson, Little Miss Wilson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. T.
Wilson, gave a reading.
Bink Morgan, acting as master of
ceremonies, kept things moving in a
lively way and there was not a dull
moment in the program. Aside from
the scheduled program, W. C. Har-

Students Choose
Pep Squad Leaders
Mary Eleanor Clement, Kathleen
Kirkpatrick, Owen Carpenter and
Don Kincaid were chosen by the
student body Tuesday afternoon as
pep squad leaders to carry Olney
High through a championship year.
The pep squad was organized last
Friday afteimoon in the auditorium
with 84 present. Mrs. Calvin and
Miss Hudson were chosen sponsors.
At this time four boys and four
girls, namely: Mary Eleanor Clement,
Kathleen Krkpatrick, Louise Hunt.

Don Kincaid, Billey Earl Gilbert and

a splendid program was given. Spe-
cial guests included pastors of local
■“.hurdles, their wives and members
if the board of education and their
wives.
Through the fine talks that were
made, a thread of warm welcome
was woven. Such a meeting can
have but one ultimate result; that
if creating a stronger feeling of
"riendship, and causing teachers to
more fully realize the imporance of
the position they occupy in the
scheme of social and educational
work.
Following the invocation by Rev.
H. H. Hunter, pastor of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church, W. C.
HaiTell took his place as toastmaster,
and the assembly sang “America.”
The welcome address was made
by W. C. Harrell. The speaker in
his usual pleasant and appealing man-
ner extended to all teachers a most
cordial welcome; particulai’ly to the
many new teachers on this year’s
faculty.

New Deal Planting
Many Markers Over
The Entire
No matter how the mammoth New
Deal program may finally terminate,
hundreds of thousands of permanent
reminders will be left standing in
the United States. If the intended
purpose or the manner of payment
fails—that of extracting such monies
from the .rich and near-rich—still
the markers will stand.
The above fact was impressed on
the writer’s mind the past week-end
when he visited the campus of a
prominent Texas college. On this
campus, a million dollar improvement
program is well under way. At least
four lai*ge buildings are under con-
struction—one a large and modern
three or four story senior dormitory;
another a modern hospital building.
These are fine and much needed im-
provements and if this rich country
can carry forward the New Deal
program; spend billions on perma-
nent improvements and procure the
money with which to pay such ex-
penses from those most able to pay,
there should come no hardships in
the wake.
As fine as these improvements
are; when one thinks of the stu-
pendous amount of money that has
been appropriated during the past
