formed his part creditably
, There were some good humor
I ons recitations, and the Negri

'l'lio following wont to Marion
to attend the various school
contests which took place April
23 and 24. Teachers, D. A.
Brown and Miss Bessie Wilson.
Pupils, Ella Phillippi, Ruth
Phillippi, Hattie Hull, Rosa
Hall, Lena Heldreth, David
Blankenbecler, Prank Phillippi
and Besse Phillippi. Some of
the patrons of the school were
also there for the occasion.
David Blankeubeckler, a Union
School bov. won third place in
the half mile race, although the
list of winners as published* in
the Marion paper did not give
him credit for it. He won third
place easily, and it was so an
nounced to the grandstand.
David ran a good race, and feels
ttat the only thing which kept
him from winning the race was
lack of practice, and he is de
termined to win this race in the
next contest,* He has interested
some other boys, and they are
already talking of going down
to Marion another “year to win.
Chilhowie Mivh School got
credit for Jthe point in question,
whereas it should have gone to
Union School. No doubt there
was some mistake or ove rsight
in the mattor. Of course one
point does not amount to much,
but it would have put Union
School on the map as winners
Prof. Preston Hicks of Arkins
had intended to be present at
our closing exercises, but was
unable to come.

son, brothers of Miss Bessie Wil
