COMMUNITY DAY A BIG
SUCCESS AT SPRING MILLS.
Various Schools Vie With Each Other
in Exhibits.—~Many Cash Prizes
Awarded.
Fair skies and ideal weather combined
to make the second annual Community
Day at Spring Mills, held under the au-
spices of the Gregg Township Vocation-
al School last Friday, the most note-
worthy celebration in this part of the
county. The scene that greeted visitors
after two o'clock was beautiful indecd.
On the wide-spreading lawn and play-
ground of the school hundreds of chil-
dren were playing group games under
the leadership of the older girls and
boys of the institution. Ir the back-
ground, tied to whitewashed rails, stood
26 of the finest pure-bred dairy cattle
locally owned, while in nearby white
pens were 11 pure-bred pigs and a pure-
bred Shropshire ram. In the building
four large rooms were entirely filled
with a comprehensive exhibit including
dressmaking and canning in the Home
Making Department, and every con-
ceivable variety of agricultural prod.
ucts. Two rooms were given over to
the exhibits of the elementary schools,
the display from which was remarkably
fine, especially in the case of Farmers
Mills School, to which the first prize,
($5.00 in cash) was awarded by judges,
The decorations excited warm praise,
The tables displaying apples and other
fruit were attractively covered with
green moss surrounded by trailing pine,
Great festoons of this green hung over-
head, while doorways and walls were
adorned with branches of evergreen and
colored autumn leaves. The rooms of
the Home Making Department were also
very tastefully decorated. "Everywhere
were the signs of the splendid efforts of
the pupils and teachers, Special inter-
est was shown in the admirable exhibit
of Biron Decker, who was one of the
three Vocational students who was sent
to Springfield, Mass., recently to repre-
sent Pennsylvania at the celebrated cat-
tle judging contest. The others on the
team were Sara Rishel and Sara Good-
hart,
At 3.30 athletic contests for older boys
started when the Vocational school de-
feated Centre Hall High school in
Dodge Ball. The Centre Hall boys
showed fine sportsmanship in entering
the contest with almost no training for
it. Then the married men under the
captaincy of Ex-Sheriff Lee put the sin.
gle men to flight by defeating the latter
in Dodge Ball, The main event of the
afternoon was the road relay race io
which teams from High Schools at Cen-
tre Hall, Aarousburg, Millheim, and the
Vocational School took part, each con-
testant runping 1100 feet. To the de-
light of the local ‘supporters the Voca-
tional School runners won this race also,
Centre Hall finishing second, and Aa.
ronsburg third. The married men next
faced the dodge ball team of the local
schonl in the final effort for champion-
ship. Here youth with its vigor and
speed got the best of age with its wis
dom and weight, and the married men
yielded the medals of victory to the
Vocational School boys.
‘With the falling shadows came sup-
per ; and an excellent meal was served
by the girls who are in the cooking
classes of the school. In spite of the
great preparations made, the girls were
not able to serve all who desired to get
supper. The speakers of the evening
and the judges were guests of the
school, twenty being seated at a long ta-
ble. A very beautiful centre piece on
this table was a basket of handsome
snap-dragons presented by Dr. Musser
of Aaronsburg,
At 7.30 the meeting in the @range
Hall was opened by singing by the stu.
dents led by their instructor of music,
Miss Welsh. Mr, Dennis, Director of
the School, then introduced Mr. W. L.
Taylor as chairman of the meeting.
His genial and happy remarks delighted
the audience all through the evening.
Before a crowded house, where nearly
one hundred stood for want of seats,
Mr. C. A. McBride, State leader of
Boys’ Club work, awarded the prizes to
the boys and girls in pure-bred pig clubs
and calf clubs ; and Mr. Grover Walker
presented the winners with cash prizes
in behalf of the First National Bank of
Spring Mills, Mr. J. D. Blackwell, of
Harrisburg, in charge of agricultural
education in Pennsylvania, and Profes-
sor Borland, who is head of the. Animal
Husbandry Department at State Col-
lege, followed with delightful talks
which were greatly appreciated by the
enthusiastic audience, Dean R. L.
Watts, ot State College, delivered the
speech of the evening, in which he
urged the development of the agricul.
tural policy, manifesting all through his
speech his keen interest in and sym-
pathy for the many problems of the
farmer. Some 200 people were unable
to get into the building to hear the
speakers, So closed a memorable day
in the life of Spring Mills.
