CHILDREN LABOR FOR
BANNERS AND PRIZES
THE FINE WEATHER AND ROADS
BROUGHT MANY PUPILS TO
CONTEST WINNERS.

at the high. school on Saturday. Nav
l0, at Lancaster. The splendid day to-
gether with the fine roads made the
attendance exceptionally good, some
zoo OF as fine a crowd of boys and
girls as one would want to see being
present. Competition was keen and
in spelling several trials had to be
given to decide ties
When | say this was an exceptional
group | base my statement on the
fact that each one present won a /
place in the township contest held a
week ago, which meant that they were
the best of about 100 students in their /
particular township. There being SO
townships meant that winning in the /
contest on Saturday would make each
OF the group of As winners the best
OF some $500 students, a position well
worth working for.
In arithmetic Coralia Whitacher of
NO. 1, Smelser, Miss Ida Sphinx, teach
er, won first place with a standing of
80 and was followed closely by Lei |
la Ripper of Dist. 4, Bloomington,
Miss Hazel Kaufman, teacher, with
standing of 81 Miss Whitacher re-
celved the banner and seven dollars
in prizes. The school also received a
er three times it is theirs for keeps |

J ter, Miss Isabel Gockel, teacher, re-
ceived first place in writing with Vel
ma Ostendorf of No. Z, Wingville, |

A second trial gave first place to Miss
Leila Meyers and Marian Richardson
second. Mss Meyers received the
banner and seven dollars in prize

Note: Rechecking of papers at the
Office showed an a"ror in checking of /
spelling papers. T''rough the correc-
tions of the error Miss Dora Dempsey
of No. Z, Wingville, Miss Rose Fang
meier, teacher, and Myrl Haas of
Dist. 6, Glen Haven, Miss Josephine
| Gunther, teacher, were in the group'f
tied for 9th, 10th and 18th places thus
having chance to win two dollars in
prize money. | am very sorry that this
mistake occurred and am rectifying
it to the extent of sending each a
check for two dollars. Rechecking of
papers in Arithmetic and Writing
showed no mistakes.
