Lauds Quality
Of Decorations
Dr. Christopher Crittenden,
director of the SUte of North
Carolina Department of Arch
ives and History, was a recent
visitor to the Appalachian State
Teachers College campus and
to the Carolina Charter Ter
centenary Celebration in Boone.
In a letter to Dr. D. J. White
ner, dean of ASTC, Dr. Critten
den said, "I wish particularly
to commend the very fine ex
hibits you had in many of the
store windows. During the
course of more than a quarter
of a century, I have attended
many historical celebrations,
but your exhibits were the best
I have yet seen.
"I was greatly impreased by
the fact that they were well
planned, with each exhibit de
voted to a particular topic
(Such as education, clothing,
bed quilts, lighting, glaas and
China, and a number of others).
So many exhibits of the kind
consist of mere hodgepodge of
relics, but your displays were
so good that they might well
have been done by professional
experts."
During Mr. Crittenden's visit
to Boone he was guest at the
Summer sessions faculty picnic
and guest speaker at the festi
vities at Cook's Gap cosceralng
the unveiling of a marker
where Daniel Boone Crossed
the Blue Ridge.
Approximately 100 individu
als participated in the Tercen
tenary Decoration Committee
project wheih was sponsored
by the Boone Worthwhile Wo
men's Club. Mrs. Ralph Buch
anan served as chairman of the
committee. Others serving on
the committee were Mrs. Lee
Reynolds, Mrs. James B. Wink
ler, Mrs. A. E. South, Mrs.
Dempsey Wilcox, and Mrs.
Homer Brown.
