INTERESTING WORK OF
CATIONS FOR COMING YEAR.

This will be the last meeting of The
Caxtons before the reception which
will be held on June third, and will
bring the meetings of this delightful
club to a close for the season.
The Book Committee recently met
and mapped out a most interesting
program for the next years work, and
while 1t has not been placed before
all the club members yet and no formal
decision given, the program is such an
excellent one as to leave little doubt
as to its ultimate adoption by the
members.
The program embraces ten eras in
English literature, showing the de-
veiopment of the English novel, and Is
divided as follows:
1. An Anglo Saxon Myth. from
Guest Mabinogion.
2. Beo Wulf-Classic Epic
8. Life of Alexander-Me dieval
Epic.
a. Mallory's Morte dArthur.
8. Moore's Utopia-Elizabethan Ro-
nance.
6. Ben Johnsons Cynthia's Revels
Character Sketches of Types.
z. De Coverly Papers.

Miss Margaret Mcintyre, Miss Hilms

MISS VERA GREEN
WINS THE BLOUNT
COMPOSITION MEDAL

One of the greatest distinctions of
the years work in the Pensacola High

Composition Medal, which for years
now has been the gift of Mr. w. A.

twelve, who Is the writer of the best
essay on a given subject The sub
Jcct is given out to the students the
day before the essay is to be writ
ten, leaving only a short margin of
time in which to prepare for the
work-that is, the acquiring of data,
etc.
This year the distinction fell to Miss
Vera Green, one of the bright stu
dents of Grade Twelve, and also to
be graduated on the night of May
Slst. Miss Green is an exceptionally
Fright young woman. and this is only
another evidence of the~fine work she
has done in the High School.
The subject chosen was Books

Ninth Grade-Miss Bessie Robin
son. Mr.. James Perkins, Miss Mar
garet Wilhelmi
Tenth Grade-Miss Audrey Coons
Miss Lola Johnson, Mr.. Guy williams
Eleventh Grade-Mr. Albert Caro-
Miss Elmyra Richards, Miss Lucille
Boyer
IWeirth Grade-MiSs Florida Waite
Miss Marion Baker, Miss Vera Green
The students are chosen from those
who have made the highest record in
English during the school year, three
from each of the four highest grades
and so it is indeed an honor to wir
this coveted medal, and Miss Greer
is receiving many congratulations.
The second highest honors were di-
vided between Miss Lola johnson and
Mr.. Albert Caro-, whose compositions
were both so good as to render it i'm

was the better.
