Like the famous parade of schoolchildren which celebrated the completion of a fifteen-year improvement program a year ago, to day's big demonstration of high school boys and girls will go down in history of Harrisburg's splendid demonstrations. Who cared if the heavens were gray and lowering? Who oared If the clouds let down a slithering, cold rain? Who cared if the streets were wet with Old Nature's scrubbing? It might have been the grouch who sat com fortably in his car and turned over in his mind the cjuestion of whether or not the loan means a slight increase in tax rate. It might have been the pull back that hesitates over the question of proper high school facilities. Or it might have been the fellow who thinks the redhouse curriculum is good enough for his sons and daugh ters because it served his own purpose, more or less. But surely the cheer ful hundreds of small folks—the vot ers and wives and mothers of voters of the not very, very distant future— DIDN'T mind. Gaily they tramped along and now and then they sang the songs that have often echoed across football Held and track just to show they're accus tomed to victory—and how they after all, can show real sportsmanship at defeat. True enough Harrisburg's leading bosiness men, members of the Cham ber of Commerce, Rotary Club, the younger business men who comprise the Technical high school alumni, the presidents of the school board of years gone by—they marched with the youngsters of to-day. And the bands played just the kind of stuff that makes one eager to step along. And along the route thousands of folks stood beneath dripping umbrel las and wondered and hoped that such eager youthful sportsmanship would be rewarded Tuesday. Central 1,000 Strong Following the Rotary Club, the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of School Directors, who led the pageant came the Central High stu dents, 1,000 strong. They were led by cheer leaders Harold Eckert, Paul Sel sam, George Spangler, Allison Skinner, Miss Frances Dunlap, Miss Martha Cresswell, Miss Ruth Richards, and Miss Helen Rote. Next in the line came the sedate Senior boys, then the Commonwealth band, the dignified Junior boys, the Sophomore boys, the irresponsible Freshmen masculine celebrities. Then the spectator saw the greatest thing in the parade. Cen tral's fair sex! They were in the same order as the young men, Seniors, Juniors, etc. The boys carried school pennants, but were completely outdone by the gay hair ribbons, coatsweaters and colors of the girls. Along the route of the parade Central gave school songs and cheers, gaining much approval THE WEATHER For Harrlnburg and vicinity t Threatening wtalhrr, probably light rain tlilx afternoon or to night; Hllglitly warmer to-night, with loe*t temperature about 45 degree*| Sunday fair.

At the head of Central's line banners were carried, bearing slogans denoting how badly the new high school is needed. One of the signs read: "If it is part of Central's equipment, it is antique." The signs were true statements of facts, and without a doubt all those who saw the enormous number of Central's students in the parade, and who consider the small, inadequate building they have to be crowded into, will certainly vote for the school loan. "Home by Electric I.ight" All of the banners were student made, and they showed, too, how thor oughly the youngsters had entered Into the spirit of the demonstration and how hard they had worked. "Chalk On Our Elbows!" "Our Proposition is that You Justify the Loan; We'll Pay for It!" "Half A Desk Apiece!" • "Do You Want Us to Reproach You in After Years by Neglecting Us To day!" "Home After School by Electric Light!" The Color Scheme These were only a few of the strik ingly appealing banner-borne messages that confronted the sympathetic hun dreds who watched from the side walks. Nor was that parade lacking in color, cither. If you were an unde cided voter and you watched that long procession, with its cheery youngsters, the gay sweaters and pennants—with just the right combination of eyes and hair of sixteen to twenty femi nine years to complete the effect—if you watched all that and you still I weren't convinced that you should vote for the loan, then you're a poor citizen.

The plans call for a high ; school as good as those planned for | Harrisburg at an expense that in the i end will be lower than the expenses : of the schools now maintained by the various boroughs. When the loan was first proposed there was much opposition to it, for the reason that people In general sup posed that it would mean a big in crease in taxes that otherwise would not have to be paid. Now, however, the taxpayers understand that to have a central high school will not cost more and probably will be cheaper in the long run and that they can have a school equal In every way to that proposed for Harrisburg, that [Continued on Page 11] DAUPHIN COUNTY SURE FOR HUGHES Republican County Chairman Points Out Folly of Demo cratic Forecasts The forecast of Dauphin county for Hughes and the whole Republican ticket by 3,000 AT LEAST stands.
