County School Field Meet
And Contests A Success

Jackson County that has ever been
known since the settlement of this
county. On that day the Jackson
County Oratorical and Athletic AS
sociation held their Field Meet and
Oratorical Contests in Kadoka, and
the town was pacbed with patrons
of the schools and friends of the
contestants. The entire day and
until late into the night was TAX
en- up with the various contests
and each and every point was clos
ely contested by the various en-
trantants.
Friday morning was cloudy and
threatening and high cold wind
was blowing, but in spite of this
at an early hour the streets were
lined with visitors who had come
early to participate in and enjoy
the various events Of the day. In
the registered attendance from the
various school districts Wtea rank
ed first with 56, Bclvidere second
with so and Interior third with AZ
Weta thus winning the five dollar
prize offered The registration
list of visitors was by no means
complete as huge numbers from
the different districts were present
who failed to register. Accom-
panying the large crowd from Bel
videre district was the band OF
that place, and they let it be
known that they were present
with a constant playing Of popu-
lar and stirring music. The Kado-
ka band was out in full uniform
and inspired by the spirit Of the
occasion furnished constant
strain of stirring music.
The various events throughout
the day were closely contested,
conducted in a clean and friendl,
manner and were impartially and
fairly judged, ad the losers can
we'll feel proud of the records
that they compelled to be made in
order for the winners to place in
the events.
The day opened with the School
Exhibits and Spelling Contests at
the Scenic Theatre under the sup
ervision of County Superintendent
Blanche Fry-Carlisle, and for the
morning exercises the theatre was
packed to the doors. The exhibits
placed by the various schools were
exceedingly fine and to the Judges
were given a most difficult task
in making the selections of the
winners. The work which was the
product of the pupils of the grades
proved most conclusively that a
deep interest is being taken by the
teachers in developing the talents
of the children of the county.
From the exhibits shown Friday
a selection will be made and taken
to the State Fair at Huron and the
the county that places above Jack
son will have to be up and going
