VAsHoN SCHOOL NOTES

Several contestants from both
the high school and grammar
grades represented Vashon at the
Track Meet at Auburn Saturday,
May IA, winning 10 points. More
points would have been won for
Nashon but that the track meet
proved to be a waiting contest
rather than an athletic contest.
Had Ward Prigg waited" and
entered the 220 yard dash he
would have missed the ferry
home, but doubtless would have
placed in this event. The same
is true Of Stecn in the javelin
throw.
The point winners for Vashon
were Prigg and Steen. Prigg
placed second in the 100 yard
dash and third in the 80 yard.
The closest race took place in the
semifnals of the 100 yard dash
between Prigg and Odion; Prigg
winning in the last few strides.
Steen placed third in the LIB
shot put.
