COUNTY AND LOCAL SCHOOL FAIR Much interest is always manifested by the pupils and teachers in the County School Exhibit, which is beneficial in many ways to the pupils. Sterling schools have exhibited with Milton township for two succes- sive years and each time were awarded second prize on school and agri- cultural display. In addition, many individual prizes were won. Mida Steele, a Senior, won first in sewing in Wayne County and was awarded a free trip and expenses for one week to O. S. U. at Columbus. Her sister, Lavonne, a Freshman, won second in Wayne County. Chief among the exhibits were: agricultural products, insect collec- tions, manual training, mathematical and physical maps, baking, sewing, etc. The Local School Fair was characterized by two features: first, by the complete display made by each of the four high school classesg second, by the overflowing crowd that visited the fair. - The Freshmen occupied the west section of the study room, the Soph- omores the south, Juniors the north wall and side, while the Seniors oc- cupied the eastern end of the room. Each class had done credit to itself and deserved much praise, which was freely expressed by admiring visitors. Not in the history of the school had so large a crowd gathered at the school house. The judges were: Mesdames Mellinger and Clark, Supt. Clouse of Rittman, Supt. Clark of Creston. The following is a list of prizes: . Grade Prize Jacob Graber lst on Yellow Corn Sixth 25c.

It will be readily seen that the success of the Fair was not due to the prize money offered, but because of the pupils' pride and interest in school work. We hope that succeeding classes will make the School Fair an annual event and bring not only much pleasure but much benefit to themselves. 27
