g can be said against the Middlesboro educational system. For children in convenient locations, there are five grade schools, one high school, and one colored school, while by the next school year, a junior high school will be built. In addition to this, Middlesboro has sev- eral adult educational schools, in vari- ous parts of the town, and also a Car- negie Library containing over 6000 volumes. Does not this fulfill the fourth requisite for a good home-that it have free education for both ch'ldren and adults? Although Middlesboro does have a good educational system, her recrea- tional opportunities for young people are limited to a theater and a few places for picnicking, hiking, and like outdoor pleasures. Middlesboro's great- est need is a supervised park and play- ground. The Bartlett-Rhodes Park is being improved, and if, after the im- provements have been made. a careful supervisor is placed in charge, it will increase Middlesboro's rating nearly IOOW. Our school is lacking in play- ground equipment, because the'e has heen no way to continuously watch it after the school hours and over the week-ends. This should show one need of supervision. while a much better at- mosphere Will prevail around a super- visor, as Well as a greater enjoyment of the recreational furnishings. This nark would not only add to Middles- boro's recreational opportunities. but to her civic beautv as well. In real physical beautv. Mirlrlleshoro has 2 high rating. heimr surrounded bv beautiful scenery, and attractively plan- ned. Brut can any city be beautiful that NS G! is not neat? Are signboards beautiful? By-hiding our city's beauty behind Lill- boards, and by letting trash collect in places near the town, we have detracted greatly from our town's natural beauty, since neatness is essential to beauty. The last qualification-cooperation- is entirely dependent on you and other citizens of Middlesboro. With coopera- tion, Middlesboro can become an ideal cityg without it, she will gain nothing. In our various civic clubs, such as the Kiwanis. Rotary, Business and Profes- sional Woman's Club, and others, an cxcellrnt spirit of cooperation for im- proving our city is shown. And so, it depends on the citizens of Mi ldlesboro. With our cooperation, Middlesboro can become an ideal city, as well as a perfect home. We. the members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Six wish to express our gratitude and apprecia- tion toward our parents and friends for the possibilities we have had in Mid- dlesboro. Many of us were born here, and have had the opportunity of at- tending the Middlesboro schools all of our livesg while others have only lived here and ,attended this school for a few years. B-ut we all appreciate the ad- vantages we have had in living and be- ing educated in Middlesboro, and We realize that it has meant a sacrifice on the part of many of our parents in giv- ing us our education. We shall try to repay vou by becoming useful citizens. not only of Middlesboro. but of the state and nation, and we shall strive to un- hold the standards that our fathers and their fathers have established with such '1 frreat price.
