MARCIA BROWN
Daughter Of Employee Is 1 st Runner-Up In Bee
“Chlorine” is a word Miss Dawn
Burrow will probably remember
with disappointment for a long time.
That word cost her first place in the
Eden city school spelling bee
recently.
When the showdown came, two
young ladies faced the final test.
Dawn, a fourth-grader at Central
elementary School, had to compete
with a seventh-grade student. And
as luck would have it, the seventh-
grader knew how to spell at least one
more word than Dawn.

But Dawn has the satisfaction of
knowing it took a student three years
older to keep her from first place
and she even won a copy of
Webster’s Dictionary for her efforts
in spelling her way to runner-up in
the citywide championship.
Dawn is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. C. G. Burrow. Mr. Burrow
works in the Carding Department at
the Draper Sheeting Mill.
