The ffllilarre ALUMNI NEWS The Blairsville lligh School Alumni Association has continued its growth and activities since its reorganization. The chairs which the Alumni Association gave for the new High School have been placed in the beautiful new auditorium which has been named Alumni llall. Appropriate bronze tablets have been installed on each side of the prescenium arch. The activities of the Association during the past year have been very enjoyable and successful. By far the most enjoyable activity of the year was the Community Picnic held at C'ampbell's Mill Park on August 15, 1930 under the aus- pices of the Alumni Association. All of the amusements of the park were in full swing throughout the day and the evening was spent in dan- cing. The affair was pronounced a very great success, and may be re- peated during the coming summer. The first activity to be held in the new auditorium was a splendid concert by the 110th Regiment Band on September 23, 1930. Several hours of dancing in the new gytwnasiurn were enjoyed after the concert. .N . l 2 yllwllu V B I - :-.fgx-.2-rf f- e --5 9 ' Gin' , if 133,10 l r ' ' - - .11 5 1 . iE..i iiirt 1 X l 131 E -1 l f!
