, Thalean Clans
\ In Battle Royal
Spelling
(Contributed.)
Friday night the yeomanry of
Thalean school district gathered
their clans for a battle royal. Never
were the Scotch Highlanders more
loyal to Wallace or Rhoderic Dhu
than the selectmen and women
chosen and drawn in iine of bat
tle were to Arch Nicholson anti
John McMath, who were pitted
clansmen chiefs of the Thalean
spelling bee.
Miss Phinizy sounded the gong
at 8 P. M. for the partisan lueagues
This Thalean highbrow did not
camouflage, nor did she lead the
clansmen under barricades nor
trenches. Out in the open and
over the top at once.
“Spell ‘icicle’,” she says to Glaw
son, of the McMath clan.
“No, sir, wrong and out,” when
he spelled at it, she said.
“Spell ‘bonfire,” she said to an
old farmer who has stacks of hay
at home.
“Hello,” he says, “are you
talking about a sure enough barn
fire, or Liberty bonds.”
Frank Webb spelled everything
given to him, except arnica.
John McMath and Nicholson
were spellers. They fought like
veterans. The wonder is every
one spelled so many words. This
neighborhood can hereafter boast
of good spellers. Finally all fell
down by the gallant Nicholson,
who won the congratulations,
smiles and a booby prize from the
schoolmarms of Bhaleam
have returned to their home in
Montgomery, after a few days’ visit
with Mrs. J. M. Beck on Hancock
avenue.
