Centennial The year of 1947 marked the one hundredth year of the creation of Saline County. The Centennial was held October 23, 24, 25. On the first day there was a tour. The parade of floats, which was about three miles long, depicted Saline County's history of the past one hundred years. The second day, which was October 24, all the contests were held at the Saline County fair ground. Some of the G. C. H. S. teachers were participants of the bearded contest. On Saturday, the last day, there was a parade of the floats. The parade started in Galatia at the old tobacco barn and,went to all the high points of interest in Saline County, then back to the fair ground in Harris- burg about one o'clock that afternoon. The Peabody Miners had a float which had the title of Peg O' My Heart . There were three girls from Galatia High School who rode this float, namely, Frances Blackburn, Betty Perdue, and Betty Devine. The float from Galatia Community High School won second place. This float was made by Mr. J. B. Bond's agricultural class and was of a colonial agriculture scene. Ten girls from the high school were in the Pageant. They were Mary Smith, Margie Williams, Phyllis Weaver, Mary Lou Cowgur, Pat Jackson, Hazel Hedges, Betty Perdue, Jean Jones, Betty Maple, and Mary Eatherly.
