=s Canton Repository
Sponsors Contest
History is being made every day
and newspaper articles are the textbooks of informed Americans. The
Canton Repository, therefore, announces its fifth annual news writing contest for high school pupils
with a feeling that this competition
takes on unusual importance this
year.
The contest has a well stated purpose: To invite high school students
to read the daily news and interpret
it. The contest is divided into two
divisions. one for Canton high
schools and the other for all Stark
County and adjoining county high
schools.
All that is required is that those
entering read any newspaper for one
week, select what they feel was the
most interesting event and then
write a 250 word story or essay
about the significance of this event.

they   met—a  charming  young   lady.
