YOUNG ORATORS
At THE ARMORY
Enoch Faw and Miss Mary
Warren Win Prizes In
the Contest.

Twelve Marietta High School girls
and boys gave a most creditable con
test in recitation at the Armory Fri
day evening.
The piano playing and songs were
also highly enjoyed by the large au-
dience
All the recitations We're interesting,
most of them thrilling the listeners
with passionate emotion and tender
pathcS. Only one of the dozen, that
by Miss Emily Griffin, could be called
funny, and it was bubbling over with
the tribulations of two young lovers
and was charmingly acted, as well as
recited, by the pretty brunette, suiting
the role of loye-lorn maiden so per-
fectly
In strong contrast to that episode
with the happy ending, was the pas
sionate confession of another girl who
had stabbed to death the bride of her
! own faithless lover This was by Miss
Annie Coryell
Miss Mary Warren won the girls
prize Her selection was The Ma
MAC" which is very difficult to recite
/ exactly as it should be.
Mr.. Enoch Faw won the prize for
boys, with The Unknown Speaker .
The prizes were five-dollar gold
/ pieces, given by Governor Brown, and
/ bestowed upon the winners by Prof
/ Dumas. who presided over the eXer-
/ cises.
Mamie Ward and Robert Harris
| were the youngest pupils reciting, and
! both received many tributes Of praise.
Miss Tommie Parks selection was a
spirited account of a horse-race- for
bride. Miss Allie Mae Simpson re-
cited "Glaucus and the Lion" and Mr..
Robert Feagin, "Cataline's Defiance. y
"The Swan Song" was told very sweet
ly by Lillian Teipel. Charlie Gard
ner's speech was "Regulus to the Car
thaginians,' and Mary Robertson re-
cited one of Kiplings Just SO Stories,
about THE Cat That Walked" which
was very droll and interesting
MI Charles Northcutt played ac-
compartments to the songs.
