Perfect Weather Conditions.

Under the best weather conditions
that could have been desired, the annual
track meet of the grades of school dis
trict No was held Saturday after
noon on the Valley fair grounds. The
seventh grade was the winner of the
meet, taking 81 points out of a possible
1862. Canal street sixth grade stood sec
ond with 43 points, the eighth grade
third with II, and the Main street sixth
grade fourth with eight. Williamson of
the seventh grade was the highest indi-
vidual point winner, with 20 to his
credit, winning four frsts. Wagner and
Graves, also of the seventh grade, won
second and third places with 10 and II
points respectively
While the interest of the participants
and their classmates was not lacking.
there was noticeable absence of inter-
estedt?D parents and other friends of the
school. Probably less than 20 parents OF
boys who took part in the various field
and track events could have been found
on the grounds.
The sun shone brightly when the meet
opened about $50 o'clock, but in a short
time it was screened off by the clouds,
thus doing away with the tiresome glare.
The stiff breeze which also had prevailed
greater part of the day died down and
hardly enough air was stirring to make
even the slightest impression on the
string across the track. The absence of
wind was appreciated keenly by the par
Elephants, especially in the hurdles.
From the first each event was watched
closely by the classmates of the particl
pants and their teachers, and the various
classes made good use of their lung
power in demonstrating their enthusiasm
as their fayorite won their honors, and
more than once the announcer was com
PEELED to wait until class song or yell
had subsidized before the result Of that
event could be given out The 440-yard
run caused the greatest excitement,
partly because Of the good time which it
was realized the boys were making and
partly because it was the last event of
the meet. The contestants in the pole
vault worked more closely together in
the medium boy class, Wagner andd
Morrill, tying for first place, Morrill, be.
/ ing given the first medal on the draw
In one event, the l20-yard hurdles in the
small boy class, it was necessary to run
off "A preliminary, so many boys were
entered.
Altogether the boys did excellent work
and showed good amount of track ma,
terial being developed by Coach Diedrcl
Stolte for the high school meets in com
ing years
