All from Deer Creek; Blue Valley, far away;
And sunny Prairie Gem, and Herkimer, fair.
Here Golden Valley’s best ’d gathered at its heart,
Intent for spelling tournament to start.
When all was set, this was an august sight:
Each school its trusted spellers there had brought,
By study armed and trained in many a fight;
And with them came their friends who warmly sought
To cheer them to the utmost in the game;
And win for their home schools still brighter fame.
