Boys One of Features.
Under very changeable weather condi-
tions the annual grade track meet of dis
trict No. was held Saturday afternoon
on the Valley fair grounds The 9TH
grade. Main street, repeated its perform
ance of last year by again triumphing over
the Sth grade with total of 63 points to
the Sth grades A. In the contest be
tween 9th grades. the 9Th Canal showed
under the Main street boys by 42-to-l2
count.
Imcfus Graves of the Sth and Charles
Williamson of the 18th were tied for indi-
yidual honors with IS points each. Each
of these two won three tirstS and one
second. These two lads met twice during
the meet and divided the honOrs, Graves
taking the 100" in close race, while
Williamson came back in the 12O low
hurdles in a blanket finish.
Despite the adverse weather conditions
- records went into the discard, which
surely is going some. The classes backed
their participants well. but the support Of
the older people was conspicuous by its
absence. This lack of support is all the
more lamcntable because of the fine work
done
One of the features of the meet was
the pole vaulting of the small boys.

than the first high school champion
vaulter This shows what careful study
and training will do in only few years.
and it also shows the sterling quality of
"Dede's" athletes tO-be.
Everyone present agreed that it was the
best grade track meet ever held. and that
