School opens

On Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1961, Grovetown school opened its doors to the largest enrollment in school history.

Now showing

At the Martin Theater in Thomson, showing Saturday are three features in the Spectacular Tarzan-a-Rama: Tarzan's Greatest Adventure, Tarzan and the She Devil and Tarzan's Hidden Jungle.
