The children were lined up on the
platform as their names were announc-
ed and handed their cash prizes amid
the applause of the assemblage. Each
first winner received a banner which
is kept as a memento of the occasion
and another which, after the name and
the name of the school is sewed in
place, goes to adorn the walls of the
school for one year. Should school
keep a banner for three years in sue
cession it then becomes their own
property forever, and a new banner
for that division made.
The Hurricane school has held the
arithmetic banner for four years, but
lost it this year, the honor going to
Big Patch school. But Hurricane need
not feel ashamed, as their representa-
tives obtained End, 3rd, and 4th hon
ors in arithmetic and 1st and Bird in
writing.

ia. dist. 4, took first honors in the
