April 15, 1926.
The Interscholastic
County Meet is over. While it lasted there was full opportunity for
display of triumphs, heartaches, disappointments, sportsmanship, in fact
an interscholastic meet while it lasts brings to the participants almost
the gamut of emotions that one experiences in a life time. Perhaps this
is one of the most valuable features of the week, the acid test of
character which the participants undergo.
Each year sees a
development and a marked growth along these lines, on the part of
pupils, yes, and of the teachers.
The severe rainy
weather of this spring had caused the County Meet to be deferred twice
so the sunshine of Friday, April 2, was a more than welcome sight to the
schools of the entire county.
Despite all previous
care, arrangement and planning there is some delay in starting off the
program but the literary events were under way shortly after 9 oclock
and the Meet was in full swing with a fairly good representation from
Class A, Class B and Rural Schools, respectively.
See below the
reports of winners in various events as given by respective directors.
