numbers to take part in the various
high school contests, athletic. musical
and declamatory.
Plans have been made this year
to make the musical contest a final
event to a series of district contests
held throughout the state before that
time. So great vas the number Of
students taking part in this event last
season that an arrangement of this
nature was necessitated. Only those
who win out in the district contests
this year will be permitted to sign
VI for the finals 1t the university.
Announcement OF the subjects for
the declarations this spring have al
ready been given out by, the extension
division. County contests in declama-
ton are held in a number of counties
preparatory to the state event, though
these have no connection whatever
with the state event. A student need
not necessarily win a county contest
to take part at the university.
The same ruling is true of the track
meets. County meets are held some-
times before, sometimes after the
state event, though usually before.
Schools interested in athletics COM
pete on the varsity track and field,
trophies being awarded to the win
ners. Last year the largest number
OF students ever taking part in a track
meet at the school competed for the
honors. If the number increases it
is possible that a further process Of
elimination will be inaugurated.
The high school students are en-
tertained by the university while they
are in attendance at these annual con-
ferenceS.
In connection with this event the
May fete put on under the direction
SIS Nell Martindale is held each
year..
