dltorium should have been filled. The
contest was very exciting and those
present felt that they were more than
repaid for going.
1t was clearly seen that the school
spirit in Dawson received a new i'm
petus, and this will undoubtedly car
ry over to the high school meet.
Other contestants have caught the
spirit, and are determined to add
other points to the ones already won.
First place in debate will count 10
points and second place will count
9 points. The school that wins rs
points in the meet will be more than
likely to win the trophy, and that
school should be Dawson.
The boys who went to Americas
report a good time, and are high in
their praise of the treatment they
received there.
The judges who served in Dawson
were Col. R. R. Forester, of Lees
