GREEN FOREST
 WELL SATISFIED
WITH SHOWING MADE IN THE BIG SCHOOL CONTEST AT HAR-
 BISON LAST SATURDAY
MAKES BEST GENERAL AVERAGE
A Most Excellent Record Considering the Short Time Devoted to Prep
 araton for the Occasion.

Last Saturday, seven high schools of North Arkansas met at Harrison and spent sixteen hours in athletic and literary contests for supremacy. The schools represented were Leslie, Bellefonte, Harrison, Green Forest, Berryville and Eureka Springs.
 The people of Green Forest are justly proud of the showing made by their school in the various features of the contest What we did is shown by the official record below.
 Had the contest been one to be decided by the best general average it can easily be seen that Green Forest would have won, hands down, notwith- standing ssome of the serious handi- caps under which our boys and girls labored.
 When it is considered that prior to the lst of last March our school has never engaged in athletics, while some of the competing schools have been we'll trained in such things by expert coaches, the record becomes marve- lous.
 Of the five literary contests, we stood second in three, essay, spelling and reading. Only to the failure of the president to instruct the judges proper ly deprived us of first place in reading.
 At the end of the first half our boys basket ball game with Eureka, the score stood Eureka 4, Green Forest 6. For all of the last half, except three minutes, our boys were compelled, by the ruling of Eureka referee, to throw at basket so badly out of shape that 1t was almost impossible to get a ball through it. Our girls were jubil- ant at their victory over Eureka-23 to 13, and accepted their defeat, to 15 by Harrison, with a smile and lusty cheer for the victors. The official score on basket ball shows the follow ing results:
 Girls: Eureka 13, Green Forest 23; Bellefonte 6, Harrison 22; Green For est 8, Harrison 15.
 Boys: Green Forest 6, Eureka Springs 10; Bellefonte g, Harrison 22; Leslie 2, Harrison 27; Eureka 8, Harri- son II.
