ANNUAL COMMUNITY DAY TO BE HELD OCTOBER 11 — HOST JUNIOR CLASS to dance and sing, eat ice cream, watch the set running and dramatization, practice sheep and hog calling; hosted by the Junior class; entertainment by five rural schools in the surrounding community. “Pine Mountain is keeping alive folk ways that are in danger of being lost or forgotten in the swift pace of the machine age, which is even now finding its way into the most remote sections of the Kentucky mountains.”

STUDENT LIFE PORTRAYED IN COLOR FILM
“For the past two months the Pine Mountain Students have been working with Mr. and Mrs. Ray Garner of Brooklyn, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Garner are employed by the Harmon Foundation to take two movies of Pine Mountain.
The purpose of one of the movies is to show how a cooperative is organized and how it functions. The other takes in the activities of the whole school. Both of the movies are filmed in technicolor.
The Harmon foundation produces Co-op movies to be used for class-room purposes. Pine Mountain will have duplicate copies of the movies for publicity.
Mr. and Mrs. Garner are leaving for the Smoky Mountains soon where they will take a movie of the National Park. They expect to return to Pine Mountain during the latter part of November to finish the Co-op movie.
