The judges of the contest were the
following teachers in the city schools !:
Prin. Trainer; Misses Anderson, Sabin.
Young, Williams and Hall and
Messrs. Flynn and Smith. The judg-
ing was far from being an easy task
as the work done by each contestant
was much above the average.
The main room of the high school
where the event was held, was crowd
ed. Standing room was almost I'M
available. Supt. Brockert estimates
that there were fully $50 people
present including contestants and
their friends the great majority of
whom were from out of town.
The decision in each contest-seemed
to give general satisfaction. The
winning schools-for the most part
are in widely separated parts of the
county.
After the contest group pictures
were taken both of the winners and of
the other contestants.
