They Won't Forget (Warner Bros.). On Confederate Memorial Day (April 26) the little town of Flodden, Ga., takes a half holiday. In the town park, a handful of tottering Civil War veterans doze and chatter while they wait to march in the parade. At the Buxton Business College classes are dismissed early and the school's principal is surprised when one of the girls, pretty Mary Clay (Lana Turner) comes back to the classroom to get a vanity case she has forgotten.

...steamy heat of a day that forms a most proper setting for the oppressive tasks of the examination period. From outside the noise of trucks and busses passing along toward the Square giving the effect of a symphony played with sledge-hammers upon an old-fashioned stove. The small chatter of the waitresses on their way to the House dining-rooms sounds like the uproar of an army. The neighbor's morning shower through the firedoor a veritable Niagara.
