MEET A RECORD BREAK Err
Pennington High School Wins Seven.
th Annual Field and Track Meet

| seven years harrington High School
carried away the laurels in the st.
Francois County Track and Field Meet
held in Bonnie Terre on last Saturday.
While the local team has not won so
frequently the records made last Sat
urday make up for all past deficien-
cies. Not only did Pennington take
ten out Of sixteen events but two Of
her mobile sons" broke well establish
ed records, namely, in the shot put,
Happy" Halle simply smashed" the
record, his best put measuring AZ feet
| and IL inches, better by feet, 8 IL
inches than the previous record. In
the pole vault "Zeke' Mayberry vault
ed Some , inches higher than the rec
ord, his vault measuring 9 feet, 7 "a
| inches. Pirtlc Of Bonnie Tcrre broke
the record for the 300 yard dash in
the excellent time Of - 3-5 seconds.
| Whether the new medal offered this
/ year for broken records prompted adj
dcd effort i'm that direction or not
| would not bc fair TO say, for the class
of athletics and the manner in which
the meet was conducted this year is
| far ahead Of the pas, meets.
The only disappointing thing about
the whole meet to Pres. Lynch and thc
Officers of the association and TO
many of the contestants was that only
| he four "usual" schools; Bonnie Tcrrc.
DcsIogc, Flat River and Pennington,
were entered.
Mr.. George Tctley Of the Tctlcy
Jewlery Company of Pennington, Of
fercd in addition to the medals given
by the Association. Il gold medal for
individual honors or in other words
TO the contestant winning the highest
number of points. Long before the
meet, Mayberry Of Pennington, "set
his heart" for that medal, and when
the test came he was not found want
ing but with a goodly supply in re-
serve. His score Of % points won with
five first places and a second, is an
other record that will stand for some
time. Mayberry deserves much praise
for this splendid showing for he as
well as the rest of the local boys did
not have the advantage of coach
during training and their records are
4, a -. II.

led IS points, the Bonnie Terre team
