ACTIVITIES W mga. I Spelling Contest For the third consecutive year, a student of Oakfield High School has suc- ceeded in Winning the title of Genesee County Spelling Champion. Two years ago Louise Greene won the honor, and again in 1938, William Bird captured the title. At the county spelling contest at Robert Morris High School in Batavia this year, Joanne Yunker again brought the title home to Oakfield. Joanne was named school champion with Janice Domn in second place, and Mary Wicks and Robert Brundage were named as alternates for these spellers. On May 20 Joanne will compete in Buffalo, and if she is chosen one of the two champions there, she will go to Washington, D. C., as a contestant in the national spelling contest. Whether she wins at Buffalo or not, she will go to the State Fair at Syracuse to take part in the spelling contest there. To Mr. Norman Slocum, who has had charge of the training of our contest- ants for the past three years, is due much credit for the successes of the Oak- field spellers. 56
