Most Work Complete at Football Field by Improvement Committee The recently organized Celeste Football Field Improvement Committee, a group of interested patrons and citizens, notes success in present plans, the fencing of the field and a new scoreboard. Both projects are in the completion stage, the restraining chain link fence is completed, the scoreboard, a four by seventeen foot affair, will be in place by the season's opening game, Friday night, September 9, when the Celeste Blue Devils host the Bells High eleven. An advertisement, to be renewed annually, is at the base of the scoreboard. The four foot chain link enclosure fence will be partially completed this week. The overall improvement, a $3,200.00 outlay, is underwritten by twenty-two men of the committee, patrons, and business people. Substantial pledges were the initial support. Fund Raising Project Greenville, Wolfe City, Leonard, and Celeste businessmen are generous in support of the fund raising project, vinyl covered soft seat cushion with advertising and the school insignia silk screened on them. The completion of the sale of these decorative cushions will net $720.00, according to promoter, Mrs. Johnny Myers. These cushions are suitable souvenir items, the sponsor finds. Orders may be called or sent to Mayor Solon Milton or the above sponsor. Local backers cleared the field of the old unsightly fence and debris, installed the scoreboard and sign, and moved a concession stand from a nearby Little League Field. Bob Felty, speaking for the ambitious group, said, "We hope to pay for the project this year. We have plans to build a joint field house and concession stand next year." On September 16, the second home game of the Blue Devils, there will be a drawing for a Shetland pony. Pony tickets are available from O. L. Nichols, Jr., Van King, or Herbert McGee.
