 Newspaper Clippings March 5, 1924 CANNON WINS HONORS AT WHITEWRIGHT Cannon school went to Whitewright to the District Interscholastic League meet Saturday March 1st. The intellectual events were held on Saturday, Feb. 23rd, and the contestants from Cannon did not go owing to the mud. The pupils took part in many of the athletic events and won their share of honor. The boys’ basketball team won Junior Championship. Taylor Stephens won first place in the 50 yd. dash. Blanche Hunter won second place in the 220 yd junior girls’ relay race. The boys’ basket ball team consists of the following boys: Auther Grider, Pascal Stephens, Taylor Stephens, Houston Short, Weldon Powell and Roscoe Giles. This team had lost only one game during the season. The girls’ basket ball team consists of the following: Juanita Powell, Nova Hunter, Lillian Hunter, Maud Miller, Chloe Smith, Minnie Ruth Allen and Jesse Auten. Many of the people of this community went with the boys and girls. Everyone carried lunch and spread it picnic fashion. The dinner alone was well worth the trip. The people of Cannon know how to stand by their boys and girls and how to make a success of any undertaking. -- Reporter.
