  • Turners Falls Bicentennial 1754-1954
    Turners Falls Bicentennial 1754-1954 Turners Falls Bicentennial 1754-1954 Text only Directory Pg. 150 Festival Opens Montague 200th on Bright Note The music was by men, women and young people from nine churches in the township. Pastors and ministers supported them by taking places in the band shell along with officials of the town, speakers and committee members. Miss Florence E. Argy served as director of the massed choirs, while Mrs. Florence F. Smith served as piano accompanist. The program was launched with the National Anthem sung by all while members of the armed services advanced the colors. Rev. Stephen R. Tucker of Turners Falls' First Congregational Church gave the Invocation, followed by the official welcome to the bicentennial by Arthur E. Burke, general chairman, who had been introduced by Wayne E. Pleasant, chairman of the evening's program. Following the first half of the program Dr. Hawkes spoke on the topic, "The 1954 Montague Watch" in which he used a watch as a symbol of Montague—its workmanship, character—and future. A bright and forceful speaker, Dr. Hawkes chose this opportunity not only to compliment the people of the town on what they have achieved in the first 200 years but to urge them to press forward with still greater accomplishments. He likened the history of the town to that of Massachusetts, which was settled by a little colony of people. From this small beginning became a great commonwealth. He cited 10 requirements of a successful town, some of which were its schools, ministry, the early commons for a drilling place and the noble character of its inhabitants.
