Ivan Coontz, Elizabeth Boyd, Ralph Nc
Ginnis, Ruth Ford, Walter Blakesley;
Hazel Moore and Edgar Ketcham, and
each and every one did we'll. In fact,
many were heard to remark that it was
too bad there were not nine gold medals
to award instead of two. The judges
were Prof. f. P. Reed, of Garden Grove,
Prof. r. r. Hannum, of Lamont, and
Prof. O. II. Hollen, of Van Vert, who
occupied seats in different parts OF the
hall and marked the contestants on
regular score cards. The result was
that Ralph McGinnis was awarded first
honor and gold medal and Miss Eliza
beth Boyd, second honor and gold
medal. So close were the judges in
their markings that there was but one
half per cent difference between the
two first contestants. Ralph McGinnis
had for his subject "Toussaint Lover
ture" and Elizabeth Boyd's was 1.-THE
Soul of the Violin Both were especial
ly good and are to be congratulated
on their success. To the defeated con-
testants we would say, you too are vic
tors if your failure to gain the prizes
has not disheartened you but has left
you exhilerated by the trial of your
skill and stimulated you to further
effort. If you bear your seeming defeat
with sweetness and courage you can
thereby convert it into the true victory
Such trials all through life but try your
edge and prove your real mettle and no
awards of men can give to you or wrest
from you the sweet satisfaction which
always comes from noble efforts without
mere regard to outward results. The
best rewards life holds wait on such
spirits for they early learn the i'm
portant lesson that defeats, too, are
necessary to the full development of
the perfect man or woman.
The singing of the High School chorus
was also a feature of the evening
and they were heartily encored, as was
the High School orchestra. Prof. Voelker
deserves much credit for the manner in
which he has devoted hours in drilling
the band, orchestra and chorus and the
whole school is taking deep interest
in music. The contestants were trained
for the contest by Miss Marion Stookey
of this city, to whom credit is due in a
large measure for the success of the
contestants.
