FIELD DAY EVENTS
HELD AT MANNING
SUMTER, S. C.

The sixth annual field day of the
Clarendon county schools was held
here Friday and proved decided
success in every particular. Owing
to unfavorable weather particular in
the morning there was somewhat
smaller attendance than usual from
the more distant parts Of the county,
but nevertheless the commodious High
School auditorium was thronged
throughout the exercises and there
was host of others that could not
get into the building. There was al
most continuous rain from early
morning until noon, and this prevent
ed many people from attending, yet
the many others who used automo-
biles are enabled to make long trips
in short time regardless of falling
weather.
In order to give the many contest
ants a better showing the declama-
tion exercises for pupils over Is years
Of age were held Thursday night and
attracted an audience that overflled
the seating capacity of the audito-
rum. There were eight girls and six
boys contesting in this section and all
of them did great credit to themselves
and their respective schools. The
| Judges had difficult task in deciding
who were entitled to the honors, but
they finally decided that Sue Plowden,
of Jordan School, and Gilbert Hodge,
of Home Branch School, won the
honors.
Friday morning the exercises were
opened with prayer by the Rev. l.. B.
McCord, and then followed the singing
of "The Star Spangled Banner" The
defamation Of seven boys came next,
then piano duet by Misses Dixon
and Sprott, then declamations by ff-
teen little girls, followed by chorus
from Pinewood School. These declaim-
ers were all between 10 and 15 years
Of age, and among them the judges
decided that the prize winners were
Ruth Briggs, of Silver School, and Ce-
Gil Geddings, Of PaxvilIe School.

building was filled with people from
all parts Of the county.
Friday morning opened up with
threatening clouds with intermittent
showers until late in the morning-in
fact too late to permit as large
crowds as usually attend these ex-
ercises. Many were on the roads
when the rain began, hence came on,
others came later in the day after
there was evidence Of hold up. TAX
ing everything into consideration the
day was success, although not over
one-third, possibly one-fourth, of the
usual crowd was here. The declama-
tion contests were held first for boys
and girls below Is years. The youth
full speakers as a rule had fine selec-
tions and showed much awe in their
drill work. The judges again had
some trouble in rendering a decision.
The medals were awarded Miss Ruth
Briggs of the Silver School and
Master Cecil Geddings of the Pax
vile School. The athletic exercises
were conducted by two young Caro-
lima men. The winners were awarded
ribbons while a handsome banner was
awarded the Pinewood School for hav-
ing made the most points. The fol-
lowing other schools made fine show
ings: Sardinia, Home Branch, New
Zion, Enterprise, Jordan.

The Annual Field Day exercises be-
gan at the graded school building
Thursday night with the defamation
contests by those over Is years. There
were about fifteen entries. All the
speakers did we'll. Too much praise
cannot be given these young ladies
and school boys for the high order of
merit exhibited by them.
The Judges had no easy task in ar
irving at decision, but having a duty
to perform, did it. They rendered
their awards as follows: Miss Sue
Plowden, of the Jordan School, and
Elbert Hodge, of the Home Branch
School. Music Of an excellent and
appropriate nature was rendered,
there being choruses by the Summer
ton and Manning schools and other
excellent selections under the manage
ment of Miss Gussie Appel, the
musical director in the Manning
Graded School. Thus ended the first
night feature Of Field Day exercises,
and was declared a success. The school
