An issue of bonds is temporarily

FINE RHETOR|CAls
At OAHU COLLEGE

Eight students in the oral expression
department of Oahu College last even
ing contested for the Damon rhetorical
prizes, and the high class of work
which was done by each and every one
of them speaks well not only for their
instructors but also for the natural
talent with which they have been en-
dowed. The Charles r. Bishop hall at
Oahu College was well filed with
friends and relatives OF the declaimers.
Hermann Won Holt was the first con-
testant to speak. He recited Rudyard
Kipling's poem, "The Ballad of East
and West,' speaking with clear
voice and enunciating his words we'll.
He grasped the theme of the great
poem and interpreted it in manner
that drew forth the applause of the
audience at the close.
He was followed by Dora Atwater,
who acclaimed ''The Widow Light, =
pathetic little poem. Miss Atwater
handled her subject cleverly, showing
much fnesse in her Interpretation of
the two characters. She will be un-
doubtedly given great deal of con-
sideration when the matter of choosing
the priZ0. WiHHeIs 10 tdheA up ny Ing
judges.
'FThe History Lesson from L 'Aig-
lon,'' by Edmond Rostand, was then
acclaimed by Harry Lucas, who show
ed himself to be an excellent character
| actor. There were several characters
taken by him during his recitation,
| and they were handled in splendid
manner. He was perhaps the most fin
ished speaker of the evening. He has
| an excellent voice, well modulated, yet
capable of touching the heights which
at times were demanded. He made
an excellent impression on all present.
| Alice Bond made quite the hit of the
evening by her clever-very, very
characterization of "'The Burglars.
1t tells how three youngsters get them
selves into very tight place in front
| of their elders and how they get out
| of it, and no one could possibly have
caught the Childish mischief spirit bet
| ter than did Alice Bond last night. 1t
| it were proper and correct to do so, it
might be said that she has an exceed
| ingly cute manner of saying an exceed
ingly cunning thing.
She was followed by Marion Brown,
who acclaimed Mark Antony's Grafton
with vigor and force. 1t was rather
difficult subject for girl, but Miss
| Brown overame all the difficulties by
her excellent diction. Maud de Brette-
vile recited Alfred Tennyson beau
tiful poem, ''The Lady of Shalott,'
and did it very well, too. She was fol
lowed by Mary Won Holt, who render
ed a part of the forest scene from
Shakespeare IS Gas You Like It. Her
Interpretation of the two characters
was good. Alfred Young gave the
Supposed Speech of John Adams, writ
ten by Daniel Webster, and gave evi
dence of his ability as declaimer
All in all, it will be a difficult task
for the judges to determine which of
the declarations is the best--they were
all so good. The judges who officiated
last evening were Mrs. G. H. Olson
Miss Bosher, and w. A. Greenwell. A
very pleasing violin solo entitled FRO
mance' was rendered during the even
ing by Doris Taylor.
