High School Defeat

Last Friday the Meade High
School went over to Ashland to meet
the school there in an athletic con-
test. They report great time but
were artisticly "done up" by the
Ashland people. School was dis
missed on Friday at noon and about
twenty FIVE contestants drove over
In several parties. They were all
met at the school building by stu
dents and were taken to the homes
of friends where they were assigned
entertainment.
After supper reception was CIV
en- in honor of the guests at the
school building. The rooms were
decorated in school colors and
punch, waters and candy were serv-
ed. A good crowd was present and
no effort was spared to make every
thing pleasant for the Meade people.
The games took place the next
day and were nearly all in favor of
Ashland. The only first places won
by Meade were the tennis singles in
which Frank Wood was victor and
the pole vault in which Ross Camp
bell carried the honors. The Meade
girls played good game of basket
ball for beginners but were outclassed
The sports were all conducted in the
finest possible manner. The prin-
cipal is thoroughly good fellow
and his boys and girls and all gen.
tlemen and ladies.
