EDUCATIONAL NOTES
The Holt County winner of the
World-Herald Spelling Contest, Mary
Virginia Agnes, of St. Mary’s Acad
emy returned Monday from Omaha
where she competed in the World
Herald contest on Saturday, April 26.
Mary Virginia took eleventh place
and received a prize of $5.00. She
went down on the word “efficacy.”
We think this is a fine record and are
very proud of Mary Virginia. She Is
only a seventh grader this year, so
will have a chance to enter the World
Herald contest next year.
Miss Agnes Bowers, 13 years, 7th
grade, from Sacred Heart School at
Greeley, Nebraska, was winner of
first place and of the free trip to
Washington, D. C., for the National
Contest, on May 26th. “Medallion”
was the word Agnes spelled which
made her winner. Florence Steute
ville, South Sioux City, Nebraska,
was winner of second place and Bet
ty Haller, St. John’s School, Omaha,
was winner of third place.
The Holt County spelling cham
pions, Mary Virginia Agnes and
Irene Wertz, returned last Sunday
from Council Bluffs where they com
peted in the Inter-State spelling con
test. Although they did not take a
place, they made a fine showing for
Holt county and we may well be
proud of them.
There were 114 contestants enter
ed from Iowa, Nebraska and South
Dakota.
In the written spelling the entire
group were given 100 words. Those
who had perfect papers or who miss
ed only one word were given another
test. There were only three with per
fect papers and eleven who missed
one word. Mary Virginia missed one
word so was eligible to the final con
test for championship in the written
spelling. Irene missed two words.
In the oral contest there were 24
still spelling when Mary Virginia
went down. Irene went down a short
time before. They commenced to
spell at 10:30 a. m., and Mary Vir
ginia did not go down until 3:00 p.
m., and the words pronounced were
very unusual and very difficult.

the largest number of contestants
ever attending an inter-state contest.
