GIRL CLIMBS THE POLE
ON THE COLLEGE CUPOLA

Columbia, Mo-, March 81. - The
annual flag pole-elimbing contest be-
tween the juniors and seniors at
Christian College yesterday resulted
In a victory for hte seniors, Miss
Georgia DuIaney, Of MoberIy, "shIn-
ming" up to the very top of the
flag pole on the cupoia of the COL
lege and tying the coIors Of the sen
ior class there.
ALI day long the picked climbers of
the junior class tried to maks 1t to
the top Of the flag pole, and substi-
tute their %colors, but the mark set by
Miss Dulaney was too high. The pole
is not very large, and while sew
eral girls were able to "shin up" al
most as high as the senior colors, it
was another matter to hold onto the
pole and get the ribbons ready to
tie on the pole.
AT this point the climber would be-
gin to slip, and, while her classmates
called up appealingly, Hold on. oh,
do hold on, dear" she would come
back ignominiously to the roof.
The frantic efforts of the juniors
to climb the flag pole continued off
and on all day.
Thus girls who would not have
much extra weight were In great de.
mand, and nearly half the members
of the junior class made the effort
during the day.
Still the senior eolors remained un.
disturbed.
Members Of the Junior class sought
to spur extra efforts and a pre-.
MUM of $25 was made up and Of.
fered to anyone who would get the
senior colors down.
The juniors won the poleclimbing
contest last year.
The Oldest employees TO the college
say that Miss Dulaney's achievement
of yesterday has never been equaled.
