that spot and a lot of others,

At Marietta
The Marietta Lion’s Club
will sponsor the annual
Marietta Horse Show on

tims. The Lion’s Club has

speller in Lancaster county:
An eighth grade pupil at
Kraybill Mennonite school,
Richard moved to the near
end of the 1974 spelling
elimination, held Friday,
April 26, at Lancaster. His
downfall was the word
‘gradient,’ one of those
words which can fool even a
professional. The trick is -
does it end with ‘“‘ant‘‘ or
“ont?
Richard’s kererbobble -
(How do you spell that word,
Richard?) - was in the 29th
round of the annual cham-
pionships. The contest
continued through 85 rounds
and was won by a Lancaster
Reynolds junior high boy.
Donegal’s represent-
ative was chosen in the
district eliminations, held at
the W.I. Beahm auditorium
on Friday, April 5.
Joyce Peterman, Beahm
jr. high seventh grader,
Donegal’s runner-up,
dropped out of the county
contest in the sixth round, a
casualty of the word ‘‘ver-
dure.”
