tute, sat on the stage and made the announce
ments of the program. which, as published in
yesterdays STAR, consisted of several musical
selections by an orchestra and a number of
declamatlons by the boys in competition for
the gold medals annually offered by the school
for the best exhibitions of elocution.
These selections ranged in topic from broad
humor and burlesque to the deepest pathos,
and kept the audience continually i'll an alter
nate state Of laughter or intense interest
Some OF them were old and had been heard
before, but they were all well delivered, and
the task of the three judges in awarding the
prizes was none of the easiest. The young
men who competed were Goodwin Ordway, Roy
Barnes, Torrance Parker. VIM. Gwynne Ar
thur German, Morris hammond, Charles
Sensner. Theodore Wilson, W. Webb and Harry
Burdette.

| ton, that they thought that the prizes should
be distributed as follows: First gold medal, w.

| legislature pledged to half dozen varying in.
| terests and who finally catches the speaker
| eye" to his utter discontinue. The dialogue
| was very well rendered by the following young
/ gentlemen: Torrance Parker, Harry Burdette
