The Julius Krousie family, living out on route two, Postville, had a contest all of its own that has just been definitely settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. Earl and Eunice Krousie, students in Evergreen school, were the best spellers and when the tests were given to decide which one should represent their school in the county spelling contest, the battle for supremacy raged on for weeks without a decision. Last week, however, Earl won out over his sister and will represent Evergreen school at the Waukon contest to be held Saturday, April 8th.

We have completed our eighth month of school. Our school will close May 22 with a picnic on the school grounds. We are proud of the successful little program of a few weeks ago. From the money we earned, we purchased a lamp and a water can. A recent entertainment brought a new bulletin board. Miss Peterson has been having three interesting contests: spelling, reading and citizenship. Virginia Kalke was awarded an autograph book. The pupils have all enjoyed writing in it. Robert Krousie got an aeroplace book for winning in spelling. The citizenship contest is between the boys and girls. We hope the best side wins.
