Inter-High School Contest
Will Occur In Fitzgerald
Contestants from Schools of the Third Congressional
District Will Gather Here Friday and Saturday,
April 21st and 22nd.
To the High Schools of the Third Congressional District of Georgia;
1 desire to call your attention to the meeting of the High School
Association and Inter-High School contest which will occur at Fitzger¬
ald on April 21st and 22nd. and urge your school to send contestants.
The third meeting of the association was held at Cochran in April
with 18 schools represented. It was pronounced a great success by
fcLose who attended. Let us not take a backward step this year, but
let us rather put forth greater efforts and let us make this the greatest
meeting in the history of cur Association, We can do this if every
school will send representatives and contestants for every prize.
The purpose of these associations held in the 11 different congres¬
sional districts of the state each year, is to bring the high schools into
closer touch with each other and to excite a friendly and healthy rival¬
ry among the pupils, besides furnishing teachers a means of studying
krgh school problems and discussing the development of the different
departments of the high school.
The executive committee of the Association, consisting of Supt. A.
Ci. Miller, of Americas; Supt. ,1.M. Richardson, of Montezuma; Supt.
T. (i. Polhill, of Hawkinsville; Supt. Jason Scarboro, of Cordele; and
