FIELD DAY PLANS
ARE ANNOUNCED
Much Enthusiasm Manifested In
Coming Event at AtIIins-Porter
On Friday, April Goth.

Great enthusiasm centers around
the approach of Field Day at Atkins
Porter School, Friday, April 30.
More than five hundred children Of
the City Schools will take part in
the games drills and contests which
feature the occasion. 1t will be a
big holiday for everyone.
Liberal prizes by different local
merchants offered for skill in ath-
letic feats will add to the interest
in these events. Entries this year
in the Field Day contests have been
more numerous than heretofore, and
the winners of the races, vaults,
jumps, etc, won't como off easily.
Practicing, however, is continuing,
both at Atkins-Porter and Lee, con
stantly and assiduously,
The tug of war promises to be an
interesting event In this contest,
captains will choose sides and en-
deavor to "out tug" or out pull
each other. 1t will be war to the
finish, each one on both sides ex-
erting utmost strength.
The sack race and the three legged
race are planned as a ludicrous ad-
dition to the program. A prize Of
81 will be given by the Parent.
Teacher Publicity Committee to the
one winning the greatest number Of
prizes, in all the program events
inclusive.
Several pretty drills have been ar
ranged for the crowds entertain
ment on Field Day. Only one who
has endeavored to superintend a
school drill can fully appreciate the
rhythm, alertness and nimble-feet of
the Atllins-Porter children in the
drills supervised by Misses White,
Walters and Ray, which are part of
the Field Day program.
Field Day last year was a splendid
success. Many parents and school
patrons attended and enjoyed the
day immensely. Because of the
former "grown-up" interest in the
day, the children are unusually
elated over the coming of April 20,
and will expect the same, and addi-
tional interest this year. The Parent
Teacher Association will serve lunch
on the grounds at a small cost. All
who attend will enjoy the day with
the kddies.

the day:
