GARRETT HAS A HAPPY BIRTHDAY Garrett got a one year head start over the rest of the country in birthday celebrations as Garrett had its Centennial July 1-6, 1975, exactly one year before the U.S. Bicentennial. Preparing for the celebration was a community project, as almost the whole town helped in some way. A mini park was created, business windows and fire hydrants were painted, and a general clean¬ up was carried out. Mrs. Margue¬ rite Smith was chairperson of the General Committee. During the week there was special entertainment every day. There were street dances and concerts played by the Army Band and the Garrett Community Band. Also, a contest took place to determine which “Brother of the Bush’’ had grown the best beard or mustache. For the women, a contest was held for the best Centennial dress. Throughout the week the business district was lined with carnival rides, games, and booths. On July 3, a Homecoming was held in the Bateman Gym. All former Garrett students were invited. The Clipper published a Cen¬ tennial pamphlet and a Centennial issue of the newspaper. On the last day, the celebration was ended with a giant party up¬ town including a king-size cake with enough pieces for everyone and 100 candles. 8 Centennial
