Weather

Ushered in by spring
showers and sultry weather and then running the gamut of heavy rains and frigid
temperatures resulting form a pre-Easter storm sweeping over this section from
the Rocky mountains, the 1931 meet league came to a close at Chilton this
afternoon with the colorful track and fields events that always attract the
largest crowd of the series of contests. The Chilton athletic grounds were put
in shape Friday by B. H. Bruner, commissioner of precinct No. 4, following
precipitation Thursday night.
Standing room only was
available in the Chilton school auditorium Friday night as the curtain rose on a
play presented by Rosebud High school students with declamation finals
following. Despite the varied weather,
events o the meet were run off smoothly, though not a few of the several hundred
pupils and others attending braved muddy roads and wintry winds to reach the
scene of the contests.
