From that meeting standards for high school competition were developed and for teacher qualifications were drawn. The meeting Friday and Saturday will be the third in DeLand since the organization was founded. 3tt&. *u "Watch them shufflin' along , night when the faculty put on "Spec" Sartain, Spike 'Moans'1 **. ^'■•'tk- vv.; . .
