Chautauqua Boosters
Mr.. Mott representing the Ellison
White Chautauqua, spoke to the pupils
| Tuesday morning. He told about the
different entertainers, and urged ns

Chautauqua successful. The pupils de-

Declamatory Contest
! The annual declamatory contest was
held at 8 O'Clock Monday morning in
the auditorium for the purpose Of shoos-
ing a speaker to represent Wilson school
in the county contest to be held at Holt
Vile Friday, May ~.
Five speakers tried out in the local
contest, speaking in the order given:
Steward Allen, Lincoln Is Gettysburg
address.
Evelyn Pope, "The Bear Story"
James Whitcomb Riley.
Marjorie Helms, I'm Flanders ,
Fields.'
Eloise Aten, "The Explorer" Rud
yard Kipling.
Lena Bird Hobby, "Ma and the
Auto,' author unknown.
| First place was accorded Steward
Allen by the judges, Mrs. A. P. Shibley,
Mrs. Harry McKim, and Mr.. Hartman.
Steward now has the responsibility Of
bringing the loving cup to Ell Centre
this year, and We believe he can do it.
This cup was presented to the gram
mar schools Of Imperial county in 1917
by Mr.. John f. Davis for the purpose
of encouraging public speaking. 1t has
been won twice by Brawley, twice by
Ell Centre and once by Holtville. If
won by the Ell Centre representative
this year, the cup will become the per-
manent possession Of Wilson school,
as it is to be given to the school win
ming it three times.
Bundle Day
Wednesday Of this week was Bundle
Day at Wilson school. The children
came with bundles of outgrown cloth
ing and discarded toys. These are to
be sent to the children of Armenia,
many Of whom have never seen toy.
The GA Class Speaks
| Wa fha 10 cloca in +hn WI,
son school and therefore feel we are
entitled to have our name gloriously in
the paper. There are 53 Of us in our
room, 26 boys and q girls We are all
sizes and range in ages from 10 to 10.
| Just now our sole aim in life is to
make the slow ones of us arrive in time
SO that we may reduce the number of
tardies and win the school pennant,
given each week to the room with the
fewest tardies. 1t is too bad, but We
are not very near to getting the pen-
anat yet. One particular boy q shall
not mention his name) used to come late
very often, but we went after him
about it and he ism 7 late very often
now. s
As class, the Friday morning
pleasure reading is enjoyed more
| than any other subject. That may be
because it is not hard and doesn't take
much thinking. We all like history, and
Miss Cott is reading us lotto Of the
Silver Hand.' The book is very inter
esting, but the only thing we don't
like about it is that Miss Cott doesn t
read it every history lesson. In English
we are working part of the time on
verbs and nouns and other parts of
speech. In hygiene We are studying
about tuberculosis.
\ The pupils in our room recite about
the same way in all classes. We have
some very different kinds of pupils.
There is Allen Wilson who always
knows what he is asked; Charles White
with his big smile and dreamy mind,
but always ready to talk; Carl Sterner,
plump and good-natured; Jack Vessey,
slow but sure; Charlotte Stuart, erni.
nent in behavior and good work and
Evelyn Pope, easy to talk and ask
questions. We shall not tell about all
of us, because as l Said before there
are 49,
