Contestants in the Algebra division were Marcia Tomey and john Priest. john Priest and Earl Harris were winners in the first year Latin contest. Second year winners were Minerva Henderson and Burns Henderson. Because of transportation difficulties a new method of holding the contests was inaugurated this year. Examinations were given in the same manner as has been used for the local contest in years past. These papers were then sent over the state for grading.

This system was used for both Math and Latin contests.
