THE C0NQUERING HEROES.
vigorous Celebration of the Victory
at ClaremOnt-The Score Com
pete.
The Connecticut Valley Inter-schol
Athletic association has been in existence
ten years but not until last Friday has VIC
tory come to the Bellows Falls high school.
Under the circumstances the contestants.
their friends and the entire school have
every reason to feel proud Of the record.
The boys did finely, and the victory was
celebrated in anenthusiastic manner.
The members OF the team and the larger
number of the pupils who went to Clare
mont returned on the 1.15 P. M. train Sat-
urday and found at the depot large dele
cation of their schoolmates who let pande-
monium loose. Upham, who was the
proud bearer of the cup, was seized by his
delirious companions and brought into the
Square on the shoulders of bis admirers
The girls were there in force and the pur-
pie and white were triumphant everywhere.
The school bell and some Of the church
bells we're set in motion, and "What is
the matter with Bellows Falls P" was the
ever pertinent enquiry. In the evening
drum corps was improvised and $50
members of the schools paraded the streets
shouting, cheering and singing. About 10
o'clock a magnificent onfre was set in the
Square.
At the meet there were 16 events, but
on only Is we're there records. In these Is
events eight new records we're made, four
by B. F. H. S., three by Upham and one
by Grignon. Each contestant who made
first, second or third place was presented
with medal and those making new rec
ords will receive S. gold medal for each
record made.
The program Of the day was not COM
pleted until late hour. The evening pro-
gram consisted Of a selection by the
orchestra, piano solo by Miss Dale Of
Claremont, vocal solo by Miss Brown Of
Claremont, piano duet by Miss Winnie
Wiser and Mr.. Hartman Of Bellows Falls,
