SPRING VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL 35 creditable work. and. although she did not receive one of the two places, the school felt it had accomplished a great deal: we certainly had forced the other schools to recognize our work along Declamatory lines. The contest for 1908 was held in the opera house April Qnd. The winners in this contest were Theodore Waller. first. Karl Holt, second, and in the girls' contest Mabel liurghardt was awarded first and Ruth Deck second. 1Vhen the time came for the contests in 1909 it was decided to give a smxll play in connection with tl1e contests. The reason for this was that many would come to the play who otherwise would not attend the contest. This worked very successfully and a large crowd attended. Those entering were: of the girls. Jennie Ileacox, Mabel liurghardt and Nettie Moe: and ofthe boys Raymond Seely, f'arl f'ln'is- tenson and Fred Slieldrew. Of the boys, Raymond Seeley was given first and Fred Sheldrew second: and of the girls Mabel Burghardt re- ceived first and Nettie Moe second. In 1909 there were a great many more contestants than there had been in previous years. Those entering in the girls' contest were: Nettie Moe. f'elia Moore, Eunice Peterson, Grace llolmau, Eunice Flesher, llelma llohn. lt-iehel O'Hrien. Mary Kellner and Florence Preston. Ol' the boys there were llelnier 1Yaller, Hay Seeley, Geo. Logan, Henry Whitbeck. Xim Anderson. Toby Larson. Kenneth Vharnley and Arnold f'harnley.

That year. under the work of Mr. Olson. our school succeeded in holding the League contest in our home town. In the contest which fol- lowed. Nim Anderson was awarded first, this making the second time our school had won first in the League contest. ln 1912. under the instructions ot' ltr. Olson, we succeeded in having a large number enter into the work. there lzeing seven boys and seven girls. Nim Anderson and Celia Moore received tirst places. and. as the contest for this year was to be held at Ilimmond. a large number of' students decided to go over and root for our contestants. Some of the girls, together with a few of the boys. went on the train under the supervision ot' Mr. and Mrs. Olson. The remaining students were to go over in automobiles.
