Good Morning Everyone: I think you'll find this new file submitted by Nelda Liles interesting. It is "Natchitoches Parish, LA: State Spelling Contestants of 1915" - taken from the April 30, 1915 issue of The Natchitoches Times. It lists over 60 schools in the parish with names of students who scored 90% or above. It can be found on "Natchitoches Parish Miscellaneous" on the main page at the Natchitoches Parish LaGenWeb Project website. Take a look. There's lots of surnames I recognize on the list and Nelda has added further notes on some of the students at the end of the list. http://www.rootsweb.com/~lanatchi/sch1915.htm Glenda Myers
