Competed Just For Fun OF IT
The twenty-fifth annual field and
track meet for the public school
children of the county was held last
Friday at Accident, as ner schedule
but strange to relate no school was
declared winner.
In fact, the committee in charge
agreed beforehand that there would
be no winner declared. The reasons
for this were said to be the unequal
enrolment in the various schools and
the desire to get away from harmful
competition. In former years those
schools under the same roof were
considered as one school in counting
the score, so that both Elementary
and High would be counted against a
graded school or a high school in
some instances.
The various events were handled by
students from the Frostburg State
Teachers college, and the entire meet
was in the hands of the county COM
mittee with Foster 0. Speicher, of
Friendsville, as chairman. A thunder
storm in the afternoon temporarily
halted activities but they were re-
sumed in a short time
AS many of the records as were
available were released for publica-
ton as follows:
