ridge, Detroit, Glenwood, Long Prair-
lie, Melrose, Moorhead, Perham, Sank
Centre and Wadena. 1t is considered
one of the very strong districts in the

The Sank Centre schools have won
more prizes and honors this year than
it has for many years. Every contest
entered in every branch of school
work resulted in victories for the
"Main Street" institution. The win
ming of prizes does not mean much
to school, but the acknowledgement
of skill and accomplishment puts en-
thusiasm and confidence in these
various departments and all students
are benefited. Then too, much good
advertising came to the Sank Centre
educational system because of the
splendid records it's students made.
The pupils in the commercial de-
partment are to be congratulated. 1t
is no easy task to be winner in such
a contest with at least twenty other
students competing against you.
Miss Hunt, Commercial teacher,
has worked long and faithfully with
her students and much of the credit
for the splendid showing made by
Sank Centre is due her. Miss Hunt has
been with local commercial depart
ment long enough to make Of it one
of the big departments in the school.
Her students when graduating from
her work, are well qualified and
trained to do commercial work. Too
much cannot be said for Miss. Hunt,
for she has added to the local school
system, the dignity, the prestige, and
the culture that an up to date school
should have. Her tenure of office is
marked with a long list of successes,
happy friendships, and real worth.
Mr.. George Steiner and VaIerian
Schoenhoff drove the cars which car
ried the contestants to Fergus Falls.
Miss Larson assisted Miss Hunt.
