DATE FOR HIGH SCHOOL
TRACK MEET CHANGED
'Hie State High Scliool 'Track Meet
which was to be held on Saturday, May
1.5, is to take place 'Tuesday, May 18.
After all the arrangements had been
completed, it was found that it would
be impossible for the meet to be held
on that day, since it would conflict with
the Inter-State College 'Track Meet at
Chapel Hill. Practically every official
available in the state will be used at this
meet so it was tliought best to cliange
tlie date.
Jackson Scholtz, champion siirinter,
who is to perform in the High School
Meet could not be here the 15th; this
together with the conflict in track meets
made tlie officials decide.on the 17th.
