Honors Are Evenly Divided In Track, Scholastic Meet
Redstone, Homestead Place First In Respective Divisions
The county 'Roundup,' which was to have been held May 18, and was postponed, was held last Friday and drew a record crowd for the events. The contest was sponsored by the county superintendent, and though there were not as many entries as was expected, interest was keen, and participants and onlookers pronounced the day as well spent. Honors were gathered by contestants from all parts of the county, which indicates the equality of the work being done in the schools.
Scholastic contests were held in the school rooms, while declamation contests and art and manual training exhibits were at the school auditorium. The athletic events were held at the county fair grounds.
Four banners were awarded, going to the various winners of first place in scholastic and athletic events in both town and rural divisions. Six pennants were awarded for second places.
