The Caddo Herald

September 19, 1947

School

School is closed for the cotton picking vacation and naturally the Caddo High Times section of The Herald, sponsored by the journalism class will be suspended for five or six weeks.

However, in each issue of The Herald some news concerning the school activities will be printed.

Caddo schools owe a debt of gratitude to the Civic Club for their liberal donation of money used to buy ice for the water in service at school during the hot summer days. Such thoughtfulness on the part of those good ladies was really appreciated by students and employees alike.

A large amount of science equipment has arrived and will be put in use by the general science classes this fall.

Going to the Fair

For the first time Caddo FFA boys will be sent to the Oklahoma City Free Fair with all transportation paid. Twelve boys, accompanied by Mr. Hutchens, left Thursday morning in a big truck for the big city fair. These boys are taking their exhibits that won first at the county fair. We hope they return with some of State money and ribbons.

Those making the trip were: Mrs. Hutchens, sponsor, Jack Hill, Elvis Argo, Vaughan Richardson, Chester Miller, V. F. Hill, J. C. Ammons, John Hill, Darius Jenkins, Eugene Lacey, Don Hamilton, and Cecil Corbett.

Mr. J. N. Broadhead will be in McAlester Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. He will receive his 32^nd degree in the Masonic Temple along with 250 other Oklahoma Masons.

Mrs. Augusta Richardson was in Ardmore Thursday checking the possibility of securing a building for Caddo schools from the Ardmore Army airfield.
