Ny Day at the Fair.
Bv Lidwfna Bissing.


Last Thursday, the Hays High School
were allowed to get in free at the Hays
Fair. The students assembled at the
high school building. 1t was nine o'clock
when we started out. 1t was rather a
rainy day to go to the fair, but We
thought we would try it anyway. 1t
did not rain on the way out, however,
but it poured down when we got to the
grounds. We went TO the first building
we saw and then looked around for
something to eat. We finally found
candy stand and we filled up on candy,
we thought this would do until dinner
time. At about 1920 the Normal
students came down with the band lead
ing them. We watched them march
around for awhile, then went over to
one of the buildings, for it had again
started to rain. It did not rain very
long, and as it was close to dinner time
we looked around for place to eat.
We found place where the Normal
girls were selling pie, but we did not
think that we could satisfy our hunger
Will lIAdl 81 We C4AS LII NAACA am -OSA-N
the place where they served hot dinner.
We went there and thought we'd get
warmed up by eating something hot,
but it did not do much good for the
dinner soon got cold. Miss Soper and
Mr.. Wood were at our table and they
certainly entertained Us. Mr.. Wood
showed Us how to eat pumpkin pie. At
ter dinner the Normal band played and
the students marched with Mr.. Malloy
as the leader While we watched them
we got rather cold and slipped into q
car that was standing close by. We
got out of the car after about ten min
utes and went over to see the acrobats,
trained dogs, skating, and so forth.
Then the floats came next There were
Just three floats The country school
that had the incest float got prize,
After we saw the bueking and the rid
ing Of the wild steer we started home.
We intended to walk home, but car
picked us up on the way and we were
certainly glad to ride home after q
whuie day at the fair.
