In penmanship, was, by l. G. Fowler,
presented to Miss Mary Gambil, of
Roanoke county, a bright little girl,
who up to that moment did not even
surmise that any distinction whatever
awaited her. All the young ladies of
the College seemed to feel personal
qualification in her success.
The medal for neatness in room,
given by Mr.. J. a. Buckner, was
awarded by lot, there being six young
ladies whose merits in that respect
were regarded rs equal, vix Misses
Blair, Neal, Cecil, Witten, Toncray
and Thompson. The drawing took
place in view of the audience, and
Nos. 6, 8, and were one after an.
other walked to the rear, leaving Mis-.
ses Witten and Cecil to the last. No.
! was held by Miss Minnie Cecil, of
Dublin, Va, and she was the happy
recipient of the medal.

the ordeal of the session without a

But the interest of the occasion
seemed to center on the two medals
for excellence in Reading and in Com
position, for the reason that these two
contests had taken place In view of the
audience the previous evening. Capt
j. Ii. Wood was called on to award
the best readers medal, given by Mr..
A, Picken. The Captain made short,
but very interesting address, ANNOUNCE
Ing that the committee had made the
teste of merit in the contest success
in conveying the impressions of the
avthoT,n aud awarded the medal to
Miss Mamie Belle Fowler, her selec-
ton having been 1.-THE New Church
Organ" by VIII Carleton.
. Prof. Morrissette was requested to
award the medal for composition, CIV
en- by Mr. w. w. James. In very
