Eleven Points.

delegation to the District High
School Contest last Friday and Sat
urday at Fitzgerald. Those who
went were Misses Ina Wright, Lu
cy I’owell, Fannie Dykes; Messrs.
Emory Asbcll and Win. Barlow.
Last year Cochran had the con
test and at the close it was found
that our school won more points
than any other school in the dis
trict. This year we sent only four
contestants who entered five con
tests. First prize counts three,
lienee, Cochran could possibly have
won 15 points. Our contestants
did actually win 11 of the 15 points.
The people of Fitzgerald gave the
visitors a royal welcome. A band
met them at the train. They were
j invited into aulomihes and after a
delightful ride, went to the splendid
school building where refreshments
were served. All of the visitors
were entertained at the ho-pitiblr
homes of the citizens of Fitzgerald
r i lie contest was the best that lias
heed held yet. Each school is put
ting forth her best effort to win
new laurels in these splendid meets.
Our school is justly proud of the
magnificent showing made. We
have only a . ms!! number who are
iin the higher grades, while Ameri
cas, Hawkinsville, Cordele, and
Fitzgerald have large bodies from
which to select. There is but one
reason why we win, it shows that
the teachers are doing their duty
and that we have as good a school
as can be found in Georgia.
Next year the contest will be held
at Americas. Our contestants won
as follows:
Miss Fannie Dykes, Ist in reci
tation; Emory Asbcll, 2nd in dec
lamation: Miss Lucy Powell, 3rd in
