noon plan necessitated the elimination of
the lunch part of the. programme
altogether. There was great rush for
seats and large number of people were
unable TO gain admittan ce and went away.
The highest hOners were carried off by
Harry Mauville Wright. who besides be-

been accr pted, but this year there was
very close competition. for it. between
young Wright and MISS Mary Halves Gil
more. This young lady comes from San
Pedro, and has the highest scholastic
record of the institute. She was very
close secondin the medal race.
