The State Track Meet took place Friday and Saturday of the past week. We had been led to think that as a small school in small town we stood no chance of winning any places. In fact our contestants went with Q little shaking feeling but they also wen. armed with their usual grit and de- termination to do their best. We had only one contestant in the Literary contest, Beatrice Weiss en- tered in spelling. There were about 25 contestants in this contest. The spelling lasted from 9:3O until about l0:3Q, when the winner was finally de- ternined. Our contestant ranked third.
 As soon as the day for the track arrived, we began to hear rumors that Carlisle stood splendid chance in the meet. The men who were talking like this had watched our records for the last few years in our home track meets and so you see Carlisle High School is definitely on the state map This opinion of strangers made our track men feel better and they began to think they might win some honors
 Nor was this feeling false one for on Saturday afternoon when the meet was held we won a place in every event in which we entered. Don't you think it splendid that team of four men could officially win third place in the meet? We say officially, be- causeif you count up. the points you will see that Carlisle won 22 points and so did Little Rock, which really makes us tie with Little Rock for sec ond place in the Athletic meet. Our part was like this: 120 yd.. hurdle, Harry Berry, first place; 220 hurdle, Homer Berry first, Harry Berry, third; 220 yd dash, Homer Berry, first; 100 yd. dash, Homer Berry, fourth; Discus throw, Harry Berry fourth. Relay race, Carlisle second. The Relay race was the most exciting event of the day, and although we had hard luck we do know that there wasn't school lliC1S Wltii cO SOOO e lSGliI.
