The annual Dickey county school
rally was we'll attended in spite Of
the heavy storm which occurred over
the entire north half of the county the
evening of the eighth. 1t opened, with
the usual number, declamatory and
song contests, in the MI chapel,
where the school exhibit was also
held. The quality Of this work was
excellent and received many favorable
comments.
The afternoon events occurred as
scheduled. The folk games given by
the Monango and Forbes schools were
particularly good and much credit is
due these young people and their
teachers.
The winding Of the May pole by the
third grade Of the city schools was
well received and the athletic drill
given by the young women of the
Normal school, under the supervision
Of Miss Potts, made both an impos-
ing and interesting event.
The Normal school band under the
supervision Of Professor Ackert did
some splendid work in helping to
make the afternoon program q sue.
cess.
A number of the boys and girls did
themselves proud in the athletic
events and many prizes were received.
This will be featured quite strongly
next year so get ready, boys and
girls.
Those who stayed for the evening
felt we'll repaid when they witnessed
the annual May fete of the nj. This
was one Of the prettiest events ever
staged on the campus and certainly
made an interesting closing for the
Rally Day. We hope they will plan
this similarly next year.
The storm Of the previous day made
it impossible for a number of the con-
testants to be present and also pre-
vented considerable portion of the
exhibit work from arriving. The date
will be set earlier next year in order
to avoid the June rains, which seem
to be becoming the popular thing.
