To Philip Emmert fell; while “stratagem”
To Allie Jeffry went. The word “alert”
Brought down a lad from Pleasant Ridge, but Fred
Cockerill left out the useless “l” instead.
Next Warren Keller overcame “precedence”;
And Eva Blackmar right spelled “boulevard”;
John Armstrong then scored perfect on “allegiance”;
A lass from Deer Creek found “croquet” too hard;
But Francis Benson then reduced the fracture;
And Louis Tarvin cleared on “architecture.”
