p cuooi DAYS NEWSDADEIQ The newspaper staff of the Dawson school began, as was its custom, the work of mimeographing a newspaper. This procedure was followed until Christmas, since which time the practice has been discontinued. Because of a paper shortage and a wish to aid the government by conserving in every way possible, the staff secured permission from the editor of The Dawson Herald, Chas. M. Ross, to have its news printed each week in The Herald. Every week, news of the Lion's Mirror appears on page two of the local newspaper. The staff of The Lion's Mirror is: Editor ----,..----.----..--- ..........,..

SCHOOL DAYS H I.lTl'l.E TEN TIQACK MEET The Dawson Lions retained their championship at the Little Ten Track Meet by a wide margin. The Lions clearly showed their power in all of the events except the hurdles. The Dawson team was paced by Billy Auxier, who garnered four firsts and a third for a total of 22 points. In the javelin throw, Auxier eclipsed the record of 149 feet, six inches, held by Orville Yocum, with a throw of 152 feet, six inches. This was the only record broken as the field was not in good condition. 100 Yard Dash-B. Auxier CDD lst: Sailors CShD 2ndg Schutte CDD 3rdg Snodgrass CSD 4th. Time 11 sec. v 220 Yard Dash-B.
