The band has come a long way in the past two years-from nothing to a first division outfit. Those who failed to attend this concert missed an evening of first class musical entertainment. The program began with a med- ley of "Best Loved Southern Melo- dies," ending with .the well-loved march, "Dixie." This fwas followed by the )favorite march .of practic- ally everyone, "UInder the Double Eagle," and the band handled this difficult number as if they had 'been playing it for years. P. B. Fairley then played; the popular "'Trees," accompanied by the band. The most enjoyed piece of the evening was, "The Rampage of the Oldi Gray Mare.." The drums started her off at a walk and speeded her up to a trot, the band then taking up, the tale and carrying, her thru ,o the last fling of her life. When the old mare finally died of over- exertion, Wade Barrier gave an ex- pert whinney on hi. *"-umpr.r." Another novelty iiuAbIet Wav the "Cricket an, the Bullfr6g," with Peggy Hardry on the clarinet as the cricket and. Tommy Owens on the bass horn as the bullfrog. These, and many other numbers comprised the best program the band has ever presented. Legion ,To Send Gene Chism To Boys State Each year ithe American Legion sponsors a Florida Boys State Week.

Contributed People are the craziest animals! They want ,things, yet when they g-t them it seems the desire leaves them and they turn their attention to new fields. We are referring -to the school band. The people ,of thi's commun- ity had a "hissy" until they got a band, butt now that they have it it seems the, backing is gone. Last Friday night the band gave its annual concept. The young mu- sicians, worked long and, hard to get the numbers ready for presen- tation. They worked not only days, but nights as well, preparing for the nighli of all nights. Well, that night came Friday, May. 16, 1947. Just imagine their disappointment though, when they began their concert with only 12 (yes, one dozen!) people in the audience. We wonder how you would-have felt as a member or the band=? Don't you know they were just thrilled, to death at such a capacity crowd! By the end of the evening perhaps 95 or 100 lo- yal parents, and friends came in. The people in this, town should be ashamed of themselves for not .backing the school organizations any 'better. Your school is just what you make it, and it looks as though a heap of us are falling down on our job. Some of us have the idea that 'the teachers and stu- dents are the only necessary tools to make a good school. You are so wrong if you do-one of the most important parts of any' building is its foundation, and you, parents and fOriendls, are the foundation stones of the student body and the school. The students are no better than you make them, with your In- tgrest and support. Come on! Let's get behind the school and give. it all we have- not only fr6m a financial point, but, by) making every effort to attend, the school activities. ------*----- COUNTY REIMBURSED FOR SCHOOL LUNCHROOM COST The Gulf county board of public instruction receive $742.32 last week from the state department of education for school- lunchroom food expenditures for the month of March.

Geddie took his foot in his hand and his motor in his car and went over to Panama City last Sunday to walk away with most of the money and blue ribbons in the outboard' motor races staged' by the St. Andrews Outboard Motor Club on the Watson Bayou course. Henry took first' prize in ,the 22 h.p. class over Percy Cotton of Pan- ama City, piling up yardage on his skill at the turns. He also took an- other 22 h.p. first by defeating L. P. Womble of Panama. Due, to failure of a 50 h.p. entry to show up, Geddie entered a 33 h.p. motor in the 50 h.p. event and came in second, losing' out with h'is .33 h.P. motor to the 55 h.p. entry by about 65 yards. Gedidie, Carol Warner and John Robent Smith plan on being pres- ent next Sunday at Panama for these races', and Ye Pd also plans on be- ing present to shoot some colored moving pictures of 'em. Bill Whaley Victorious In Battle With Big Ling Author Unknown The most furious battle of the season rang down its blood-stained curtain at 11:38 thursday of 'last week, bringing -with it the defeat of the "Terror of the Deep." Con- queror, ruler and master of all lo- cal waters stands the likeable and unassuming' champion-Bill Whaley while at his feet lies the vanquished and'quivering foe-a 52-pound ling. During those 18 minutes of nerve-wracking suspense there was some doubt as to who would win this furious battle. But it was dis- pelled as Bill, throwing his. old hat in the. bottom of the boat and caiS ing on his last ounce of reserve strength, fought as though for his very life. (Playing the monster like a pro- fessional and using every trick of the trade, he finally hauled it along- side where Red' Higdon wielded the gaff as only Red can. The ling was weighed, on the Swatts Grocery scales,, and any ex- aggeration of poundage is purely coincidental. PLANE RJDES ENJOYED BY LOCAL RESIDENTS Oran Clements of 'Blountstowe, accompanied by Ted; White, flew his plane to the St. Joe airport Sunday and while here they had dinner with Oran's. parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.

As usual, a series of events and occasions have .distinguished the egress from high school into the future. It is a fitting climax to the. years of work in the lower grades and the high .school that the young students are permitted to realize that this is a time for celebration and gaiety., and a time for dignity and solemn- ity. And all of these elements are injected into' the commencement calendar. To many of those graduating Tuesday eve- n.ing, the curtain, will have rung down.on di- rected education. Those will have to make a place in the world without further schooling, in the temples of education. They will find that education is never completed, however, *even though they have not the benefit of teachers of higher learning. Their future edu- ,cation will have to be attained in the school of' experience;., from the everyday happenings that are chronicled through ,the newspapers .and over the air waves; from observation of their fellow' man. There are those among the -members of 'this 1947 graduating class who will reach greater heights, perhaps, than others who are privileged to pursue the paths ,of higher learning, so they should not be dis- ,couraged by the "seemingly impassable trails -to the tops of the mountains." The universities and colleges will claim some members of this graduating class. These will have privileges which, if used intelli- gently, will gain for them broader outlooks in the worlds of science, arts, politics and the professions-privileges which may or may not place them in the high places of life, since such places are attained by the comparative few-but which will give them- opportunities to go forward towards the high places with assurance and poise, will give them oppor- tunities to serve their fellow man with under- standing and sympathy. These should appreci- ate and grasp the privileges of higher educa- tion and the opportunities so offered. All of those graduating from high schools -all over the country Ithis year are facing prob- lens which will be forced on them for solu- tion within a very few years. It is impo-tant that they continue their education from the schools of higher learning, from the schools of experience, from observation and common- sense thinking. Each one of them has an im- .portant part in the solution of word troubles. Each onle of them has had a thrill out of solv- ing the various problems that have been a part of their education. When the time comes fbr them to take up the problems of their com- munity, state and nation, they can be de- pended upon to handle them intelligently and- efficiently. As a nation, we take the:wonders of science as a matter of course. We refuse to be sur- prised at new developments in any line of en- deavor. One of the great writers commented that there are still as many wonders to be discovered as- have been ,brought to light. Those graduating from high schools today will create, and discover, and unearth unheard of and undreamed of glories 'to make the world a better place in which to live. They are confronted with the formidable task 'of bringing order out of existing eco- nomic chaos. But they will also be privileged to sit in and ie actors in the thrilling events of the future that few of the present genera- tion will live to see. To the graduates of Port St. Joe high school we extend our congratulations and felicita- tions. Their privileges and educational facili- ties have started them off in life with greater advantages than their fathers and mothers had, and we hold them in high honor and have faith in their ability to carry on the banner of civilization with dignity and glory. C(raduates of 1947, we salute you! but he couldn't say for sure what Above really is. Next I struck up with a woman who had enticed three men to the matrimonial slaughterhouse and was out trying to lassoo the fourth, and I thought for sure I'd. get the low' down on Love from her. . I said, "Oh, woman, thou who ha.st tossed many males to the ashcan, canst tell me what is Love.p?" And she said, "Well, all that I ever knew about it was the bunk." . That was a stunner, and yet whatever 'it is,; bunk or no bunk, it must be hot stuff, for she was out looking for more. On my way back to The Star of- fice, and still up in the air about this Love business, I saw a young couple in a car entangled in each other's arms. Stepping up along- side, I Oasked, "Oh, Youth, is this Love?" The girl shot her: hard-boiled disposition at me and said, "Who, wants to know?" . And when I told her the world was dying :or a little uit of Love, she, said, "Send, 'esn around." . Which was the ,same as saying she had IT in great gobs. ,So about all the advice I can give is: Why worry about it, for if we can't savvy it, how can we know -:!l A STARDUST and MOONSHINE Being rather rushed this week, what with these extra pages due to congratulations to the graduates ((whom we -congratulate, by the. -way. but since we've already eu-; logized over them in the editorial column we don't believe it is neces- -sary to do so again here.), we dug up an old Stardust column we pub- lished in 1938 and are reprinting a part of it herewith: I don't know how the question arose, but somehow the conversa- *-tionial trpic turned to "Lo'"-,'" and -a certain young theater manager remarked, that "Love is an ab- scess." It nmay be, for all I know . People who are in love act as though something were eating on them. The. Good Book says that "Love passeth all understanding. Webster defines it as "An affec- tion of the heart excited by that which delights or commands af,. fection; devoted attachment to one of the o-pposite sex.' ' Walter Winchell, quoting George P. Mayhew of Pittman, N. J., de- fines; it as follows: "Love is an inward indescribableness and an outward oil overishness." . Which, after all, is about right. Deciding to look into this mat- ter of love myself, I went out on Reid Avenue and interviewed sev- eral people from v~-trious walks of life. I first approached a one-husband wife (or at least so I was told.) and such wives are getting scarce now- adays, and' asked her what she knew about Love. She said' she had, been hog-tied to an old skinflint for 30 years, and he was a goodly man and fussed, and cussed and slapped not, but a's for Love, well, she, just couldn't put her finger on it that it was like the pot of ,gold at the end of the rainbow just beyond her reach but she had hopes of her husband dragging a little of it in before the golden wedding bells began to toll. I next chinned with a man who had been hanging on to the same, aprong strings for 51 years, and is still at it',. which shows he's a hound for endurance and I asked him what he diad to say about Love. "When male and female can hit it off together for more' than half a century," he said, "without pulling hair, pluck- ing eyeballs or barking shins, that must be Love." I thought that was a- fine expression . - ,-- "Copyrighted Material Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" a 5 C ar__ __ T~r7i~ Now Located at Highland View PHONE 310.
