~THOSE SPELLING CONTESTS SATURDAY~

 

The Township Spelling Contests took place Saturday and were highly interesting to parents and visitors in attendance. Central Township spelled at Hillsboro and only three of the ten schools took part: Hillsboro, with Miss BOYER, teacher; Heiland, Clarence HAMRICK, teacher; and the H. Williams school with Felix EAVES, teacher. Six brave boys and girls entered the contest and all spelled particularly well. Norma ULRICH and Mary LEUTZINGER of the Hillsboro school and Orvill PARTNEY of Heiland and Willie STREMMING and Sullivan and Eva MARSDEN of the Williams school. The first three named were the winners and will represent Central Township at the County contest in DeSoto some time in April, the date to be announced later.

 

Plattin Township spelled at Plattin school. Thirteen contestants from seven schools spelled. Three hundred and forty words were spelled and the winners were Amelia KNORPP of Flucom school, who missed 6, Blanch KOLLER [Kohler ?], Danby school, missed 7, and Otto WEGMAN, Plattin school, missed 11. The other schools taking part were Saltpeter, Pleasant Grove, High Ridge and Haverstick.

 

The teachers of the winners are, Flucom School, Elnora SCHMIDT, Danby; Mrs. STRAUSER, Plattin School, Florence HEATON.

 

The Big River Contest resulted in the honors going the Dewey L. MANION of Ware School with John W. HOPSON teacher, ranking first, and Edward BRUNS and A. BLAKE of the Morse Mill school ranking second and third with John TIERNEY, teacher. Hurrah! for Big River.

 

Meramec Township spelled at House Springs. The three winners were Agnes REDECKER and Margaret FICKEN of Cedar Hill School W. J. CLOVER teacher, first and third places, Lillian LEIGHT of House Springs school, Mrs. Walter DAEHN [Dahn ?] teacher, won second place.  Helen STOVESAND the winner last year was too sick to attend.

 

Joachim Township spelled at Pevely. The winners are Mildred FARLEY and Leona HEINER, Dora WEHMEYER all of the Pevely school, with Miss Mary A. McLOON as teacher, and she is a live one. Pevely had no rivals.
