FIELD DAY DECLARED
TO Be BIG SUCCESS.
WILLIAMSBURG SCHOOLS MAKE
SPLENDID SHOWING IN LITER
AIRY AND ATHLETIC WORK.

Field day exercises of the Williams
burg schools opened Friday night at
the auditorium of the Kingstree
High and Graded school with an in
teresting programme. in which a
number of contestants took part.
Despite the very inclement wealth
er the large hall was filled with
anxious pupils, patrons and friends
of the various schools that entered
the numerous contests. The pro-
gramme 'mbraced only the oratori-
cal features of the exercises and
each contestant deported him or her
self in a highly creditable manner.
The judges, after considerable de-
liberation, decided in favor of Miss
Louise Snow, of Union school at
Rome, as the young lady entitled to
first prize. and Miss Hazel Green, of
Greelyville, was awarded second
prize. The young men winning first
and second prizes were Winifred
Goodwin, Union school, and David
Brown, Indiantown school. This
contest was confined tu pupils from
schools having more than four teach
ers.
The prize winners representing
schools having four teachers and
less were Clarice Huggins, Old john
sonville, first prize; Alice Rich, Lane,
second; Nathan Schriberg, Lane,
first. and Lewis Robinson, Cades.
second. Messrs D R Rizer. Man.
ming; White Watson, Andrews, and
Miss Cooner of Dillon were in at
tendance and acted as judges.
Friday evenings exercises were
opened with prayer by Rev P S Nc
Chesney. followed with brief ad-
dresses by Prof Swittenberg, of the
Kingstree school, and Superinten-
dent of Education ] G Mccullough.
Excellent music was furnished by
Misses Thorn, Sturgis, Phillips, Jones
and Blakely, which feature of the
programme was enjoyed exceeding
ly by all present.
The literary exercises of the ele-
mentary grades were held Saturday
morning at the school house arl
were attended by a large number
of visitors considering the threaten
ing condition of the weather, which
doubtless kept great many others
from attending.
But despite the apparently unset
tied condition of the elements. pu-
pills and teachers from twenty
five schools were present in time to
take part in the programme of con-
tests that had been outlined by Su-
perintendent Mccullough. The ex-
ercises at the school house were con-
cluded about noon, when pupils from
fourteen schools then fell into line
and marched to the court house, the
parade being made up of pupils
from the following schools and
marched in the order here named:
Johnsonville, Wayside, Earles, Trio,
Indiantown. Mulberry, Boyd, San
tee, McClary, Central, Old Johnson
vile, Cades. Retreat, Hemingway.
The parade made a good showing.
and upon arrival at the court house
was dismissed. A recess was taken
until 2:30 p. m, the time set for the
beginning of the athletic events at
the fair grounds.
