EVANSVILLE.

The Athletic meet at Oakland was
well attended by Grantsville school
pupils, most Of those in the high school
studies having been entered for the
different contests, and Grantsville was
certainly a credit, as it always is. to
the county, in proof of which the
Grantsville boys and girls are deco
rated with medals won in the different
contests. The boys won in the jumping
contest and races, ard the girls dodge
ball team beat all the opposing teams
in the field, and its needless to say
their families are as proud Of them as
they are of themselves. The boys and
girls entered into the athletic snorts
with much vim and energy and their
honors are doubly precious because I'M
expected. 1t is said that Captain San
nef nearly stood on his head with de-
light at the success of the pupils of
this school. All the girls with the three
teachers-Misses Getty, Keller and
Connor-wcre taken up in j. j. Ben
