According to the rules by which the
various contests were governed each
point won in a literary event received
its full value in the determining of
the winner of the Meet, while the
school winning the greatest number
of points in all the athletic events held
received only as many points in the
final reckoning as the school winning
only one literary event No points
at all were awarded for the winners
of cooking probably on account of
not having enough schools participa-
ting IN this event
Corde1e won points In the literary
events held and points in Athletics,
because she won the greatest number
of points in the athletic contests. there
bv making Cordele have Ia points in
all and winning the meet
Dawson won II points in literary
events and was awarded End place in
the meet. Dawson won only four
places in the various events listed.
Fitzgerald won IL points in lit
erary events and II IL points in ath-
letics, making her second in athletics
for which she received 3 points in the
final count. Thus making Fitzgerald
have a total of 9 IL points, only -1-2
points behind Dawson and 3rd place
in the meet. Fitzgerald won first
place cooking but received no points
for it.
Thus we ali see that while Fitzgerald
was classed as third in the final award
she captured the greatest number of
places held in the literary and ath-
letic. events, of any school, winning
10 places out of possible IS which
was the total number of events held
Cordele won 9 points and drew
enough points to give her first place
in the meet, while Dawson won only
a events. but enough points, as counted
according to the rules gov erning the
various contests to give Dawson second
place in the meet This is hot intend
ed as criticism of any one, but is
mentioned to show that the bows and
girls of Fitz-Hi represented herewith
credit in every line of endeavor and
activity.
There were nineteen schools in all
who sent representatives, to the meet
at Vienna. Thus we see how many
schools Fitz-Hi had to compete with
and how she must have fought well
to win 10 out of possible IS events so
held.
We are especially proud of our or
ators, Wayne S. White and Ralph
Russell who won unanimous deci-
sion over the Smitnviiie representa-
tlves, team who had won for five
times in succession in various prelim-
mary contests held on the same SUBJ
Ject. The judges who were Miss
Garner of Wesleyan and Mercer, at
Macon, Ga; Judge Walter F. George
Of Vienna; Prof Shanks of the South
Georgia Normal School at Valdosta,
were very complimentary in their
criticism of the work of Our boys.
They declared that the splendid be-
havior and attention of the pupils OF
Fitz-Hi were indeed noticeable thru
out the whole meet, and congratulated
SrDt. Bennett very much for our
splendid behavior and efforts shown
at the meet We wish to express our
appreciation and indebtedness to Miss
Louise Smith of the Carnegie Library
tor the aid she rendered these debators
in the preparation of their speeches.
Without her help we would have been
unable to have made such splendid
showing.
OF all the athletes representing Fitz-
Hi in the meet, Warren Langston de-
serves special mention for the splend-
id showing he made, winning several
places in the athletic contests held as
well as a place in the ready writers
contest. He was a favorite among
all the contestants at the meet. on
account of his excellent sportsman
ship, and received the support of a
number of schools as soon as their
representatives had been eliminated
The sportsmanship of all of Fitz- HIS
representatives was excellent and the
spirit of her delegates was unbeatable
Everv FITZGERALD contestant did his
or her duty, that is by doing their best
and aided materially to bring favorable
comment upon themselves and their
school. The conduct of the student
BODY was splendid and reflected much
credit upon themselves and the
school.
