Centennial Fair Amid* the din and noise of banging hammers and buzzing saws, one could see the fair tak ing 'shape. Display booth space was alloted and it was amazing to See how a few chalk lines on the floor could develop into a beautiful display of flowers, and how a jumbled mass of furniture can be transformed into a tastily decorated living room display. It is always a source of amazement to see the start and finish of a product, to see inspiration and creative ability blended into a display. The planning, organization and co-ordinating, so necessary in a project of the magnitude of a centennial fair, and the striving for improvement is something we sometimes overlook when we take in this show depicting community progress’ and the growth and ad vancement in our town and area. Hats off to the fair board and all those who do so much volun tary work in providing a spec tacle we all can be proud of and in gaining further esteem ahd prestige for Exeter.

One unusual item entered in the canning project was plum catsup. Pickled pears, jams, jel lies and conserve also made up part of the interesting display which earned the home econo mics department five dollars. These girls showed their in dividual talent in a display cleverly arrayed in colors of red, black and white, depicting skirts, blouses, jumpers .and suits the girls had completed during the last year. Around this the boys’ manual training group arranged their lamps, coffee tables, maga zine racks and foot stools which added a finishing touch and an eye catcher to on-lookers. Seventeen entries were pre pared and displayed by grade Id boys from the school garden. Out of these there were seven firsts, two seconds, three thirds, one fourth, earning a total of $22.10. The school sow was entered and placed second in a group of nine, only after much delibera tion of the judges. This then brought the total to $26.10. formed concerning school activi ties and news.
