Fred Morris Wins Broad
Jump; Miss Fleta Black
« First In Spelling
Marietta was well represented
both as regards numbers and en
thusiasm at the Seventh District
Meet at Dalton last Friday and Sat
urday. All of the delegates went
except Greer Edwards, whose place
was taken by Randolph Simmons,
the alternate. .
Prof. Dumas and Prof. Owens ac
companied the delegation. Daltou}
provided a generous hospitality, en~f
tertaining their guests in their own
homes and giving a reception for
them on Friday afternoon.
The essay and spelling contests
were held at the Fort Hill School
at 12 o’clock Friday. Cartersville‘
and Marietta and Rome tied in tne
first spelling contest and in the
second, Cartersville was spelled out
leaving Fleta Black, of Marietta,
and Maryella Spinks, of Dalton, to
tie for the privilege of representing
the District at the State Meet in
Athens next June. They drew for
tne honour and Miss Spinks got it.
Marietta feels proud of Miss Black,
who deserves just as much credit as
her competitor, the decision being
merely accidental, one might say.
Marietta was again among the
winners when Robert Willingham
won third place in the boys’' essay
contest.
The athletic contest was held at
the Stadium at 2:00 P. M. Friday.
An immense crowd was present and
watched with great interest -,thel
trafk events. It is gratifying to
state that Marietta is decidely “up”'
in athletics this year. Fred Morris
covered himself 4vith glory in thel
Running Broad Jump, winning
first place over all other contest
ants.
Frank McNeel\was a close second
in the 220-yard dash and Robert
Willingham was third in the 440-
S'ard dasii. Four boys ,Frank Me-
Neel, Andrew Graham, Randolpr
Simmonds, and Richard Marchman,
participating in the winning for
Marietta third place in the Relay
Race. Altogether, we feel that our
home town acquitted herself nobly
in athletics, though to Cartersville
was left the honor of taking the
cup away from Dalton.
Not having a Dbuilding large
enough to hold the crowd, a tent
was erected in which the Recitation
and Music contest were, held on Fri
day evening. The winners in the
Marietta contest,’ with' their same
selections,'appeared on the program
with the winners from other scaools
all contesting for representation atl
the State Meet. There were iwen
ty-four numbers—twelve in Music
and twelve in Expression. Miss Do
rothy Farrar, of Dalton, won first
place in Music, and Miss Lucile!
Morris won second, with James H.
Taylor, of Darlington, third. . In
Recitation, Miss Sara Wicker, of
Rome, Miss Suesylla Taomas, of
Dalton, and Miss Mary Jewell, of
Chicamauga, won first, second and
third places, respectively.
The boys were given a separate
‘occasion on which to show what
they could do in Declamation. Tais
‘contest was held on Saturday, at
)10:30 A. M. There were twelve
contestants, but Bryan W. Collier,
of Calhoun, carried off first honor,
while Bowie Millican, of Rome, won
second, and Manly McWilliams, of
Dalton, third.
While waiting for tne decision of
the judges in Declamation, the Dal
ton High School Orchestra, which
nad furnished musie on different
occasions throughout the Meet, gave
several selections. Amid enthuss
astic cheers, announcement was
made of the ‘winners in all con
tests.
The following were the scores o6f
tne various schools in literary
points: Rome 16; Dalton 14; Cal
houn 9; Marietta 8; Cartersville 5;
Darlington 1; Chicamauga .1,
Rome takes tne literary cup.
