Show WILL OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS COME BACK TO GREEN RIVER soon seven of our young people will ill be leaving green river to go to various colleges throughout the state this is usually a very happy occasion for the parents as well as the students for one thing it gets the youngster out from under the folks wing and they can get a lot of things done that they have always wanted to do then to it is the beginning of the time when the parents really become proud of their offspring we have published in this issue of the journal the pictures of those students who will be going to college this has been done not only because it is news for the community but for a far more important reason we wonder if the parents relatives and friends of these young people fully realize the seriousness of our responsibility toward these students we are sending away when they have finished their education will they come back to green river to live and raise their families or will they take the knowledge the inteli intelligence gence and skills they will have learned to some other community 9 have you made any definite plans to try to keep them interested in green river of course we love them very much and would like to have them all return home to settle down but some how just being their home doesn doean t seem to be a strong enough drawing card to do the trick in order that our college students may be able to keep up with the progress and the community development of their home town the journal is giving a subscription of the paper to each one of them it will be just like a letter from home and they will be anxious to read it each week providing we keep the community spirit high and really jump in and work together to build an attractive and thriving town which they could be proud of and could even look forward to coming back to when they have finished school the young people are the most valuable asset a community possesses we ve don it have to sacrifice to keep them interested in their home town it is a pleasure to work with them show me a person no matter what his age may be who is not interested in the activities and welfare of young people and show you a person who I 1 is not inter ested in life itself let us plan together and work together and really build a town these young folks will be proud of proud to say to their friends I 1 sure am glad green river is my home town |
