G. H. S. TEAM
VICTORIOUS
Awarded Second Place In
Lewiston Meet-Miss
Lanningham Won.

Ine track team representing the
Grangeville high school won second
place in the interscholastic field meet
at Lewiston Friday. The team was
composed of the following young
men: z. B. Parsons, Ernest De-
Haven, Neil New and Orrin Riebold
In the defamation contest Friday
evening, Miss Laura Lanningham, the
Grangeville representative, won third
palce.
u. b. Parsons was a star of charac-
teristic Grangeville brilliancy and su-
periority at the meet. He won the
individual championship with 25
points to his credit, winning first in
everything he entered. He was
awarded five gold medals, as first
prizes, and beautiful silver cup
and a championship banner for the
distinction of the individual cham
pionship. He lowered the Lewiston
track record in the 44O yard dash by
several seconds, equalled 1t in the SO
yard dash and came dangerously
close in every other event he entered.
In view of the little training which
Parsons has had his records are moth
ing short of remarkable and 1t Is pre-
dicted by all that he will some day
make a name for himself In college
athletics. His individual ability, be-
sides winning magnificent honors for
his school, has encouraged his team
mates to strive to the very limit in
order that the general excellence of
the track aggregation might be
brought to its highest possible rank.
The school and the city appreciate
his good work.
The others of the athletic team,
Messrs. Ernest DeHaven, Neil New
and Orrin Riebold did so well that
even their closest friends were sur
prised. There was only one event in
which a member of the local team
entered that points to the credit of
the Grangeville high school were not
secured.
When it Is remembered that this
was Grangeville's first interscholastic
field meet and that the lads, owing
to inclement weather and lack of In
terest generally, had but meager
training their performance at Lewis
ton is one of which the entire city
should be proud. The Grangeville
school may compete for years and
years, train under the best of con-
ditions, and receive the heartiest sup
port, but we venture to predict, in
praise of their present victory, that
the school will not always win as
much.
