Jaycees Present
Hometown Christmas
On Tuesday, December 4th the
Tryon Theatre will be open, but
not to show one of your favorite
movies. Instead the building will
be filled with the sound of music
as local talent once again takes
the stage to perform in the Polk
County Jaycees 3rd annual
Hometown Christmas.
The tickets are $4 and all
proceeds go to provide a better
holiday season for the children of
the Polk County and Landrum
area.
Local acts scheduled to
perform include Carey Upton and
Michael B. Smith of Carey Upton
& The Rockland Tramps, various
acts from Polk County 4-H, Jay
Lichty, Mary Jo Palumbo and of
course the Polk County Jaycees.
Again this year the Jaycees will
welcome Santa Claus by
performing the “12 Days of
Christmas’’ in costume. For
those who had the opportunity to
see this act last year, they can
tell you it is not to be missed.
So please make your plans to
join emcee John Calure, music
director Pam Thompson and
your hosts, the Polk County
Jaycees and the Tryon Theatre
as they celebrate the holiday
season. — Reporter

Tryon Junior Beta Club Inducts Twenty-Two
On November 16 at Tryon
Elementary, before an audience
of parents, teacher and peers,
twenty-two seventh and eighth
grade students solemnly pledged
to uphold the standards of the
Junior Beta Club.
Prior to the Harvest Induction
Ceremony, current members and
officers took turns expressing the
Beta Creed — honesty, justice,
service, cooperation,
reponsibility, industry, humility,
and charity.
To be eligible for Junior Beta,
students must maintain high
academic grades, be good
citizens, and have positive
attitudes. As citizens of the
community, state and nation,
they are expected to develop
qualities which will enable them
to lead by serving others. They
are encouraged to think about
what they owe to the world,
rather than what the world owes
them.
This Christmas, according to
faculty sponsor Mary E. Mackay,
Junior Beta members at Tryon
Elementary will stage a luncheon
as part of a special program
entitled, “Christmas Around the
World.” Funds raised by Beta
projects throughout the year go
toward purchase of items, such
as VCS’s or television sets, to be
used by all students at the school.
As the Harvest Induction
Ceremony drew to a close,
Principal Edward Lakey
reminded inductees of the
Chinese, who would light an
entire room from a single candle.
“Even though you don’t speak of
Beta principles to others,” said
Dr. Lakey, “your actions will
help determine the attitudes and
behavior of your fellow students.
I encourage you to lead others
down a good road.”

Tryon Elementary are shown
