PICNIC And Community FAIRS
LIVINGSTON HIGH SCHOOL
FAIR BIG SUCCESS

The Livingston high scnool free fair
was held Saturday, September Goth.
The splendid community spirit and
the excellent cooperation shown by
all warrants the assertion that the
fair was success in every respect.
Our neighboring towns and cities are
to be congratulated for their interest
in our high school fair. We feel as
though all deserve special mention
for supporting this undertaking and
especially those who helped by their
exhibits.
The rural and graded schools de-
serve honorary mention for their ex-
cellent exhibits. So many favorable
comments were heard from visitors
that we feel confident the schools
need not consider their work in vain.
We hope this interest will be shown
in succeeding years.
The high school domestic science
girls worked hard in order to do their
share of the work and thus show the
people that they are loyal to their
high school, A candy booth deco
rated in the colors of the American
flag was built on the east side of the
building, and the girls sold nearly $12
worth of home made candy. The boys
also worked like beavers in every
way and willingly did every task as
signed them.
Their willingness shows the kind OF
school spirit that makes us proud OF
them.

IN spite of the rain it was estimated
that between 1900 and $500 visitors
were present among them were many
from towns and cities nearby.
The horseshoe pitching contest
proved to be quite popular throughout
the entire city. The contest was won
by Virgil McReynolds of Platteville.
The high school base ball game be-
tween Livingston and Rewey was in
terrupted by the rain but soon con-
tinued and was won by the local team
with II to Z score. The afternoon
game between Big Patch and Living
ston was won by Big Patch with q
score of 10 to 7.
The entries in all departments filled
nearly all space allowed for them.
The entries were especially large in
the sewing, cooking and vegetable de-
partments. The milk exhibit planned
by the domestic science (four girls)
created much interest. In the live
stock department there were not as
many entries as last year, but every
animal entered was of showing type,
and it was hard for the judges to
make their decision. An excellent
display of Dodge cars was shown by
Mr.. Bergman of Dodgeville, Ford
cars by the Ford Motor company of
Montfort and Star Auto Company of
Mineral Point, and the Moon cars by
Mr.. Dixon of Rewey. Our local furni-
ture dealer, " M. Hannah had an
educational and interesting display
of electric washing machines, electric
vacuum cleaners and victorlas. The
Bowden and Nowak Farm Implement
dealers of Montfort were here with a
good line of farm machinery which
can proftably be used by the modern
farmers of today.
We are confident that the fair is
one of the best advertisements that
any school can have, and it is our aim
to let you know that we are up and
coming. In behalf of the High School
Fair Association we wish to thank
you for the aid and cooperation which
was hown in every way at the Liv-
ingston high school fair.
The origin of the high school fair
was at our high school in the year of
1912, originated by S. S. Wilson, prin-
cipal at that time.
