McCRORY WINS
MANY HONORS
The McCrory High School
feels justly proud of her record
at the North-east Arkansas
contest at Newport held April
19-20. Miss Esther Arnof
took first prize in the piano
contest, thus adding the first
loving cup to McCrory’s tro
phies of honor. Miss Della
Jeffries was given only second
place in the voice contest, but
public sentiment was much in
favor of awarding her first
place. The fact that she sung
only one song while the others
lad two selections is respon
sible for her being given only
second place. The president
of thepcontest intended to no
tify all schools that each voice
contestant would sing two
songs, but for some reason, Me
mory, along with others, were
cot notified, thus we prepared
only one selection.
Miss Margaret Hargis was
riven third place in the read
ing contest. The fact she was
unable to attend school regu
larly and thus get the regular
oraetice is greatly responsible
for the rating given her.
Joe Roddy was also award
ed third place in declamation.
He made a splendid showing,
and the school is proud cf his
record. In every particular,
lie McCrory High School made
m enviable record in the Lit
erary contests.
Miss Grace Clayton partici
pated in the spelling' contest
and made the splendid grade
of 93 per cent. The number of
ooints made by the literary
contestants are: Esther Arnof,
5; Della Jeffries, 3; Margaret
Hargis, 1; Joe Roddy 1; thus
making a total of 10 points.
The athletic showing made
by our boys is worthy of much
praise. All the boys showed
the proper spirit and played
the parts of genuine sportsmen.
Their record is as follows:
10 yard dash, Lewis Chappel
third place; 220 yard dash,
Nudy Arnof, third place; 440
vard dash, Nudy Arnof, third
place; standing high jump,
Walter Scales, third place;
running high jump, Roy Elling
ton, second place; Relay race,
composed of Joseph Crossett,
Joe Roddy, Ellis Arnof and
Lewis Chappell, made second
place.
The total number of points
scored ill the athletic was 11.
This makes a total of 21 points
in all events.
We are very proud of the
splendid records made this
year and we hope to get many
more loving cups to speak to
future generations of the rare
talent and untiring energy
which characterizes McCrory
High School.
Miss Ruby Hargis, the
charming and accomplished
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H.
P. Hargis of McCrory, spent a
