100 Years Ago

As presented in the June 1922 editions of the Rome Tribune-Herald

Roman James D’Arcy Jr. has been awarded the degree of bachelor of science in the school of electrical engineering at Georgia Tech, and has been given an important position with the Western Electric Company, which he will accept almost immediately.

This announcement will be received with much interest by the many friends of Mr. D’Arcy, and he is being congratulated on the standing he made in the exceptionally large class graduated this year.

During the world war, young D’Arcy served as a lieutenant and the air service and one deserved recognition as an instructor and afterward in the air mail service. --After being mourned as dead for four years, as a result of his failure to return home to McKinney, Texas, from Army service overseas, Garnett Burk has written to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. G. Burk.

Burk was wounded and shellshocked, according to his letter, and is recuperating in a Michigan hospital. He did not want to burden his parents with the news of his condition, he wrote.

--Myrtle Park and Playground will be formally opened shortly, the day to be announced later. A band will furnish music for the occasion, games will be played and refreshments will be served throughout the afternoon and evening.

Equipment for the playground is needed — swings, joggling boards, volleyballs, anything that anyone will contribute. Checks may be sent to Mrs. George Gibson, with whom those who have contributions to make may communicate.

Everyone in Rome is invited to attend the opening celebration.
