Again allow me to call your atten.
ton to the Field Day on Friday
April 18th, at Abbeville.
You may not be in a position to
take an active part yet all teachers,
trustees, parents and especially pu-
pills can help to make the day sue
cess by being present. Urge all of
your pupils to come with you.
If you, or any of your pupils who
are in the contests, wish to stay, in
Abbeville either Thursday or Friday
night, or both, send names to Miss
Mae Robertson, who has secured
homes for anyone wishing to stay.
Please notify R. J. Syfan, Able
vile, chairman committee on Decla-
nation, not later than Wednesday,
of names of your pupils who will
enter Defamation contest. Because
of the large number entering this
contest, a preliminary contest must
be held which has been fixed for
Thursday night by the committee.
All class room contestants must
be at the Office of Graded school
building not later than ten o'clock
on Friday morning and report to
Miss Florence Bradford, chairman
Class room contests.
At IL o'clock sharp, the parade
will start at the Graded school-see
to it that your school and float are
in lihe on time.
The ladies of the city are prepar-
ing to serve to each pupil and teach
er present, a lunch. A ticket will
be given to each pupil in the line for
parade. This will entitle pupil to
lunch at the Fair Grounds but does
not admit pupil to the grounds.
An admission of ten cents will be
charged to all school children, and
others under eighteen years of age.
All others will be charged twenty
five cents
The association has offered a
large prize list and it is necessary
to charge a small admission fee in
order to raise the money.
The school exhibits alone will be
we'll worth the admission. A fine
spirit to excel and to place an exhi-
bit creditable to any school is being
shown by large number of schools.
Can't yours be one of them?
The athletic contest is getting
very exciting and the boys are doing
hard training.
The defamation contests are Gre
ating a great deal of interest as
shown by so large a number enter
ing. Four beautiful medals have
been bought to be given to the Win
ners.
Why shouldn't your school take
one or two back as trophies?
The regular defamation contest
will be held in the Opera House Fri
day night, beginning at eight o'clock
sharp. Admission: school children,
and others under eighteen years of
age, Is cents; all others 20 cents.
H. B. Blakely, chairman commit
tee exhibits, will be at Fair Building
after p. m. Thursday. All exhi-
bits entering for prizes must be
placed in time for judges Friday,
not later than eleven o'clock.
All entries for Athletics must re-
port to R. E. Moody, chairman COM
mittee, not later than 2 p. m. Fri
day at Fair Ground race track.
Remember that you are a part of
the educational forces of this county
and that we need you and your
school. Be prtsent, if you can do
no more, it will add to the success
of the undertaking, and you and
your pupils will spend a very pleas
ant day-would a parade of two
thousand children look good to you?
Help make it.

Pres. A. G. T. A.
