The Volt field meet banner has
been ordered and will be displayed
bv one of our business firms as
soon as it arrives.
Last Thursday was a gala day
at the Victory school. A large
crowd of parents and children at
tended the contest. Corinth Saun-
ders OF the Waska school placed
first in the art contest n Will
%epresen the north half of the
district at Brockton on Saturday.
The other art contestants were:
Liberty school, Layton Payne, Hell
en- Heinrich and Laura Wall; Was
ka. Thomas Saunders, Alta Saun-
ders. Corinth Saunders; Volt, Al
bert Fachner Louise Kalien, Thelma
Blankenship; Victory, Lloyd Lund,
Matilda Ediger. Alma Ediger;
Golden Valley, Orion Krogstad, Flo
renee Poole, Anna Dick; French,
Christal Nahum.
In the horseshoe contest, Gold
en- Valley won from French school
Is to IA in the first round of play.
Golden Valley used heavy shoes,
they we're lucky to nose out the
which was some handicap and
French outfit. Ernest Giersdorf
and Willard Nahum represented
French. Charles Taylor and Or
ton Krogstad played for Golden
Valley.
Then Liberty won from Volt Is
to 10. In the Liberty team Arnold
Wiens is an exceptionally fine
horse shoe thrower and his partner,
Layton Payne is coming along and
should be good by the time of the
Volt meet. For Volt Thelma Blan-
kenship and Albert Fachner did
well, but were pitted against cham
pions. Thelma a certainly toss
a dangerous shoe. No other girl
in the district can show her much
about this game.
Victory downed Waska by score
of Is to 8. Reuben Hoversland
and Einar HOLDEN pitched for Was
ka but never threatened the lead
taken by John Ediger and Earl
Lund.
Liberty then trounced Golden
Valley Is to Z and whitewashed
Victory IS to 1. Wiens was surely
hot in this game.
These were interesting matches
and kept the lady school "marms"
hopping up and down.
Then came the best event of all.
Those splendid cooks in the north
country knew what we liked. Three
long tables were heaped with bles-
sings for the elmer man.. Did we
do justice to that feed? Well, I
should say SO. After we were all
ready to "swear Off from eating
Sid Scourey startled the crowd by
calling for just one more piece of
cake. All were in a iovial mood
and the lunch hour slipped by all
too fast.
The spelling contest came next.
How the youngsters did spell. They
went through the county list and
tackled a list that Livingston Gust
hated" to pronounce to them.
Some withstood the first lombard
ment and asked for more. How
ever, the casualties started. Final
ly those two Golden Valley spell
ing sharks stood side by side. An
ma Dick tripped and Ruth Moen
NAMED. She will also go to Brock
ton on Saturday.

Three baseball games were then
played,
Volt trimmed Golden Valley 16
to S while Victory walloped Lib
ertv 10 to 6.
Volt then took first place by de-
feating Victory. These teams win
meet the south half teams in the
finals at Volt May 6.
All in all, it was a most enjoy
able occasion. Better school work
results from such gatherings.
On Friday we went to Wide
Awake where the schools from the
south half had gathered. The day
was perfect. We hope May 6 will
be such a day.
The art contest got under way
about II a. N. Agnes Holden OF
the Dry Fork school took first
prize. She will go to Brockton.
The other contestants were:

Neufeld, Peter Neufeld;
