AT g D. m. the contestants were

Point school to the Liberty
Music Memory
There were only five contes-
tants- Florence Tilton Of Balm |
vile, Lille Rowe of Brockton,
Irene Pipal of Wolf Point, Grace
Dahley winner of Froid and Max
inc James. This was not close |
contest. Only Is records were
played in order to decide the win
ner. We need large Victrola in
our school. The Orthophonic
loaned us by the Huxsol Drug is
a beautiful machine.
However, its volume and beau
tiful tones confused the contes-
tants who were used to hearing
the records on small machines.
Froid has an Orthophonic in the
school. This is not an alibi. 1t is
a point in favor of a real machine.
The spelling contest started. 81
contestants were entered I fail
ed to secure the names of these
pupils. The winners were Lille
Rowe of Brockton, gold medal,
Larson of Wolf Point sill
YER medal, Gladys Allison of Balm
lille bronze medal.
Rural Spoilers Good
The rural schools of Wolf Point
District were among the best ten
;pellers. Avis Lund of Liberty
vas among the last eight Will
lam Sand of Roosevelt was among
he last g. He won 80 points for
Roosevelt toward the Volt Ban
Ter. Vivian Siljenberg Of Perish
ng was among the best spoilers.
Contests of this kind stimulate
interest in spelling, Art and Music

tarted in Northeast Montana

ng the music memory contest a
ew yeras ago when Wanda Wal
