The Carnival and Bazaar held May 23rd and 24th, proved to be a grand success. This is a good example of team work and co-operation.

We feel sure that the item listed in the parentheses will spell w-o-n. The fact that these teams are all of four year high schools enables us to take these defeats with less discouragement.
