Class Competition Promotes Solqool Spirit Class competition, a recent tradition at Nlitchell, encouraged higher class participation. To win first place in class competition, a class had to have the greatest number of people present at a certain number of events. Points were totaled at the end of the year, and the class with the greatest number of points received the class competition trophy. Organizing the system, Cabinet decided upon the class competition events and the number of points for each. Class councils encouraged their classes to par- ticipate in these events. Competition events included activities, sports, certain school dances, the donkey basketball game, and school plays.
