Just after the Glass Essays Rev. Mr..
Clewell arose and stated that so sharp had
been the contest for the first honors that
it was impossible to decide between four
young ladies' Misses Paddison, Clisby,
Hunnicut and Clark, SO it was determined
to make the honor equal by giving to the
first two, besides the class Essays, Cdusa
Honoris, and to the two latter the Honor
Essays. The young ladies were invited for
ward and the VaIedictorian and Salutatori-
an decorated their competitog with the
badges of honor.
