CHESTERFIELD SCHOOLS
Archbold-C Chesterfield con-

test.
In spite of the rain and sleet the
Literary Contest between Archbold
and Chesterfield high schools, Tues
day evening, December 21st was well
attended. Many of those present
pronounced the program the best
ever given in our auditorium.
The AAchbold students reached
here at 2:30. They were accom-
panied by Supt. M. E. Mattern of
Archbold. The rest of the after
noon was spent in getting acquaint-
ed. Students were soon at ease, en-
joying themselves, each boasting of
the prowess of his own contestants.
At $50 a pot luck supper was
served the Chesterfield Home Econ
omics class also serving cocoa. The
dining room had been decorated
with the Archbold and Chesterfield
school colors. Students from both
schools enjoyed the supper hour
thoroughly. For SOME time before
the contest the students entertained
themselves and the gathering audi
ence with school yells. These were
given with a will and zest that gave
promise of an interesting rivalry. A
feature was the good natured rival
ry and sportsmanship shown by stu
dents of both schools throughout the
evening.
The auditorium had been decorated
with the Archbold Royal Blue and
Gold and the Chesterfield Gray and
Maroon. The stage was bordered by
artificial palms kindly loaned to us
