The musical contest took place
in the hall of the school building
and was won by Miss Hoyt Ray
mond over Misses Henry, of
Aberdeen, Brinker of West Point
and Hampton, of Columbus.
Miss Raymong is a musical prod
igy and the excellency of her
playing was recognized by all
who had the pleasure of listen

displayed marked talent, yet the
judges felt that the medal was
due to Tupelo representative.
The judges were Messrs. Lorn

The last contest to be settled
was the game of basket ball be-

Miss Ham, of Columbus, and

referees. The game was won in
an interesting contest by Colum-
bus in a score of 26 to 6.
Owing to the lateness of the
hour it was necessary to call off
the mile race and the base ball
game. At the invitation of Co.
lumbus the Tupelo High School
team went home with Columbus
to fight it out on the Columbus
diamond.
The music of the day was fur
nished by Tupelo's Cornet Band
under the leadership of Prof. A.

high class and does much credit
to our local talent.
