Local High Student Wins State Honors Perrin Smith, aon of Mr, and Mrs. Louis Smith, Junior in Cedarville High School, holds the record as being the “fastest human1' among Class B schoolboy athletes of the state. Young Smith sprinted to victory last Saturday in the 100- yard dash at the championship finals of the annual Ohio schol­ astic track and field meet in Columbus. Smith made the dash in 10 and 3-10 seconds. Abraham Rowe, O. S. & S. O. Home, finished second. Smith also finished second in the 220-yard dash, with Rowe fifth place. This dash was won in 23 second flat by an Oberlin youth. Smith qualified the day previous in a 220-yard dash in 22.9, or one-tenth of a second faster time than the Oberlin winner in the finals. Smith Was the only representative of the local school in the state finals and scored ten points by winning the 100-yard dash and placing second in the 220-yard test which placed the local school to finish in a quadruple tie with Wayne, McDonald and Wyoming for fourth place in the Class B schools. Smith won first honors in the county meet at Wilberforce some weeks ago in taking the 100, 220 and 440-yard dashes. At the district meet at Miami Smith first in 100 and second in 220 yard dashes. His first reward was ribbons*, second at Miami, silver and bronze medals and gold and silver medals at Colum­ bus, Saturday. Smith's victory was quite a credit to Coach Paul Orr of the local schools who had Smith in training. He was a fast runner in football but it was Coach Orr who gave him the finishing touches in training for his dash contests. The local schools have had a remarkable year in winning contests not only on the ath­ letic field, track meets but in examinations covering designated classroom subjects. i i
