EXERCISES HELD AT NORMAL
Folk Games and Drills Given by Var
ious Schools of County

The morning of Rally day, Friday,
May 10, dawned clear and beautiful,
and though few clouds decided to
darken the suns rays during the fore
noon, by noon Old Sol was shining
down as merrily as ever upon scene
of busy activity. Early in the morn
ing autos filled with happy children,
their parents, teachers and friends
began to arrive, and shortly thereaf-
ter the county seat was filled with
hundreds of people, all intent upon
making this big day for the kiddies.
The normal school chapel was
scene of happy activity during the
forenoon, for the defamation, number
and song contests were carried on
there amidst surrounding walls of
school exhibits. The exhibit proved
so large that the chapel was too small
to contain it and the remainder had
to be cared for elsewhere. The work
showed not only splendid school effort
but was beautiful as we'll, and in many
cases the judges found difficulty in
awarding the prizes. 1t certainly
spoke very highly for both the teach
ers and pupils of Dickey county.
The triangle in front of the normal
provided an ideal place for conduct
ing the pretty folk games and drills
given by various schools Of the coun-
ty. These were interspersed with mu-
sic by the Nj band and concluded by
an exhibition given by the girls GYM
nasium classes.
The athletic tryouts, which are de-
scribed elsewhere, were snappy and
some excellent feats were performed.
An unusual feature of the day was
the fact that the normal school held
its annual Open House day, which
gave all visitors a chance to thor
oughly inspect the school that has
been their Rally day host for num-
ber of years.
