CHURCHILL COUNTY
SCHOOLS MEET
ON TRACK
EVENT BRINGS OUT LARGE
and ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD
Most Successful Meet in School His
tory-Good Order and Good
Humor Prevail.

Young America had its inning at
the Fair grounds last Friday, when
the Fourth Annual Grammar School
Track Meet was attended by repre-
sentatives from all portions of the
valley.
Barring intermittent showers.
that only served to cool the atmos-
phere without seriously discommod-
ing the contestants or the large
crowd of spectators, the day was an
ideal one. Although the athletic
program was a long one. the teach
ers and others having the affair in
charge showed commendable man
agement with a result that there
were no tedious waits. On the con-
trary, there was something doing
every moment of the time, much on
the order of a three-ring circus, bu'
all without confusion, all of whi
reflects much credit on those WI
planned and conducted the meet, as
vel as eyidencing the discipline OF
the youngsters who contested in the
various events.
Such meets as these are conducive
to the building of the highest types
of American manhood and woman
hood as it develops both the mind
and the bodies and it Is only by a
perfect coordination of the two that
perfection is reached. To this end
it is pleasing to noie that our teach
ers enter so heartily into the spirit
of these affairs and thus bring out
all that is best in the pupils under
their charge. Ii is to be noted that
the teachers wisely discouraged any
attempt to Great feeling of rivalry
between the different schools, but
made il plain that each event was to
be considered individually, thus pre-
venting the sowing of the seeds of
discord an dividing the schools into
antagonisitic groups.
The prizes were silver medals for
first place, bronze medals for second
place and ribbons for third. The
presentation of the prizes to the
winners Of the different events was
made at a reception held at the Oats
Park School Friday evening.
Ray Weaver of the Union school
proved to be the champion athlete
of the meet, scoring 25 points, the
highest possible score, having won
every event in which he was entered.
In the B and C classes, little Harry
Clinton and Warren Ernst were the
stars
