ADRIAN F.F.A.
HAD BIG TIME
By BILLY GILLIS
The members of the Adrian Chapter of
the Future Farmers of America sponsored an
educational tour last week. The following boys
went on the trip: Lyman Hutcheson, Roland
Gillis, Billy Gillis, Harry K. Neal, Henry Grady
Neal, Arnold Loyd, Lyman Webb, Myles
Webb, Dale Thompson, Austin Drake, F.A.
Fountain, Julian Thigpen, and Walker Bailey,
Jr.. Mr. and Mrs. O.L. Hayden went with the
boys.
The group camped at Magnes Camp on
the shore of Lake Burton, the largest lake of
the Georgia Power Company. Each day a
program was set up for the boys which included
mountain climbing, fishing, swimmings, and
trips to places nearby. We spent one day in
North Carolina.
The boys are looking forward to seeing
more of the wonders of Georgia in all sections
of the state by making a trip each year.
The motor boating was one of the
greatest sports with the boys, and if you don’t
think so you might ask Lyman Hutcheson what
happened at Jones’ Fishing Camp.
Several of the boys, including Julian
Thigpen, Arnold Loyd, and Myles Webb were
taught how to row a boat without lunch. Ask
them all about the man that gave them dinner.
The trip was an enjoyable one and everybody
had an excellent time.

FINE BUILDING FOR ADRIAN GYM

A waterproof concrete floor is being built, which will be covered with a wood floor. Eight rows of grandstand seats will be placed on the sides for athletic events and additional folding chairs have been purchased to use in the center of the building for other occasions, thus increasing the seating capacity to 800. Marvin Woods is in charge of the work. When finished, the Adrian school will be one of the most complete gymnasiums in this section.

gymnasium took place on Tuesday night with a capacity crowd present to enjoy the
festivities. The program opened with an invocation by Rev. J.C. Walker. An address by Judge Robert Humphrey of Swainsboro, former Adrian citizen, was featured. Judge
Humphrey was introduced by T.J. Braswell, member of the local board of education. Other school board members present were, J.R. Williams, M.T. Riner, Marvin Woods, and H.C. Williams.
The school band under the direction of I.L. Taylor, leader, played several selections. Two ball games concluded the evening entertainment. The women teachers lost to the girl’s high school team by a score of 6 to 25, and the Adrian Athletic Club won over the Adrian High School boys in an exciting game, the score being 29 to 21. Woodruff Kea was the referee for the girls game and Lanier Flanders for the boys.
Superintendent Sam Jones stated that by converting the auditorium into a gymnasium,the seating capacity has been increased from 550 to 900. Grandstand seats have been placed on each side of the building, and directly over these are long rows of balcony seats. The old seats were sold for more than enough to purchase 350 folding chairs to be used in the center of the building for stage programs. Mr. Jones stated that much credit for the building is due to Marvin Woods, contractor for the job and to O.L. Hayden and the agriculture boys, who actually did a great part of the work.
The community as a whole is grateful to superintendent Sam Jones for conceiving the idea and it was largely through his untiring efforts that it was accomplished. The building has been named Community Hall.
