Norris Dam-69 MiIes from Sweetwater Norris Dam, the first major project of the Tennessee Valley Authority, Was completed in April, 1936, at a cost to the government of 336,600,000 It is 1,872 feet in length and 265 feet in height. The lake produced by the dam covers 34,200 acres and has a shore line more than 800 miles in length. The region around the lake has been bought up by the T. V. A. and will be administered as a national park. The lake and tributary streams are being stocked generously with game fish. In a very short time, it will become a veritable sportsman's paradise. It is the purpose of the officers of the school to lease a permanent camp site on the shore of Lake Norris to which congenial groups of twenty-five or thirty boys at a time may be taken for Week-end outings in the fall and springg and perhaps conduct a camp for younger boys in the summer. FISHING STREAMS IN OUR COUNTY Tellico River, Bald River, North River and Citico Creek Cshovvn on the preceding pagej are all in our county and are known far and Wide for their rainbow and speckled trout. These streams are in the Cherokee National Park, which comprises much of the eastern side of our county. Others, equally attractive, are just across the state line in the edge of North Carolina. The southern entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park is less than a two-hours drive from the school. Parents interested in fishing or in Won- derful mountain scenery can find either for bothl in forty miles from T.M.I. and can take their boys along for most enjoyable outings. Page Sezferzly-Seven
