scene Of the event and all the schools
that were represented had large
following Of loyalists, making a gooC
crowd In attendance.
The Cairo team was the only one
that was accompanied by members 0
their school faculty, not single other
team having representative of theii
school teaching STAFF along with
| them.

made by winning seconds in the

they would have come out as second
in the meet
