Vacation Bible School at the Baptist i
Church Reports Capacity Enrollment \
(By Mack Grogan)
The Daily Vacation Bible SchoyJ
began its first regular session Mon
day morning at 9:00 o'clock, with ?
capacity enrollment. The success- ex
perienced at the registration pericc
on Friday afternoon drew large niyn
bers of children to the Baptist church
Monday to discover for themselves
the cause of the enthusiasm of the
chiltf en who attended on Friday. The
attendance increased from 150 or
Friday to,over 200 on Monday. More
new siuSents came Tuesday.
Several minutes before the open
ing time Monday morning the churct
grounds weire filled with playing
children. A? nine o'clock the Juniors
and Intermediates attended a wor
ship period which was followed b>
the regular department work.
The class rooms were equippec
with tables, chairs, and materials foi
work, suitable to the pupils of eacl
age. Many of them enjoyed the worl
done in the morning session s<
thoroughly that they expressed regret
that there was no session in th<
afternoon.
The children came and saw an<
were convinced that the Daily Vaca
tion Bible School, was worth theii
time. Once they had come they weri
there to stay. Joyous laughter ripple*
over the playgrounds during the re
cesses and the buzz of serious worl
filled the rooms of the Sunday Schoo
building in which the school is housed
The entire building is being used fo;
the activities of the school.
Perhaps the most interesting perioc
of ivork in the school was the hand
wo' k period. During the handwor*
period the Junior boys used the base
ment which has been converted into
I a temporary works>^for the school.
Mrs. Neely, assisted By Mrs. Ralph
Duckworth, had charge of the boys
' daring this time. She spent most of
? the first period explaining the proper
I way to use the tools in the shop.
? Prof. Julian A. Glazener took the
i Intermediate boys to his workshop in
i ;he high school buiWing.
Miss Elizabeth Duckworth ,had
! charge of the Intermediate girls in
I the handwork period. Her skill in
'? using the needle and her cleverness
in inventing new schemes in the #rt
? of handwork thrilled the girls to the
I I extent that the principal found them
' still in session fifteen minutes after
i school had dismissed. Reluctantly
? they dismissed.
' Miss Loraine Payne kept the Pri
maries busy with paper and paste.
1 Her assistants, Miss Sarah Heien
? Smith, Miss Martha Vaughn, Miss
i Clara Garren, Miss Nelle Duckworth,
: Miss Eva Call and Miss Fannie Mc
> Gehee help her with the little ones.
t All the articles made by the pupils
; will be on exhibit in the Sunday
School building on the night of the
J commencement program. This, will
- give everyone an opportunity to see
r them.
b There is still some confusion about
1 who may come to the school. Many
- parents have brought their children
< to the school with the request that
1 their children be received "although
. they are not Baptists." The school is
r for all denominations and children of
all denominations are expected to
i come. "We are glad to receive them.
- We intend for them to come," an
< nounced the principal at the opening
- of the school term.
