similar event which was held at the
Bio theater last night.
Second honors among the girls fell
to Miss Helen Hoag, while Harold
Jackson. winner of last years event,
was forced to take second place in
the boys class this year.

packed to capacity when the first
number on the evenings program

by the young ladies, and the judges

gave very effective rendition of her
piece. 'zingarella," and with little
more cultivation of her voice to ae-
unire strength. would make a very
formidable contestant in any decla-
nation contest
Miss Hoag handled her subject in
a most efficient manner, although a
slight cold from which she was suf-
fering detracted slightly from her
otherwise highly satisfactory pres
entation of her subject. Keeping
the Lassie's PART" In GESTURE
and general carriage she showed
more ease and grace than any OF the
other contestants. The song inter-
polated into her piece added pecn-
liar charm TO the rendition.
Miss Westenrider handled diff
cult subject in a telling manner and
will develop into quite an effective
humorous speaker with more prae-
tiee. Her subject was THE Theater
Party" from Mrs Wigs"
Miss Wheeler has the most ef-
fective declamatory voice of any girl
contestant. She handled very diff
ficult selection. THE Chariot Race
from Ben Hur," in a most satisfac-
tory manner, and with little more
experience she will develop into a
medal winner.
Miss Lake showed in very ap-
preciative and pathetic manner in
giving her defamation. but her
subject, PRO Patria." was not such
as to bring ont the best qualities of
her declamatory art.
Miss Taylor also suffered in not
having a piece suitable for her de-
clamatory purposes. She handled
The Lie," which she chose, in a
most satisfactory manner.
Mr.. Brinn gave very excellent
rendition of a very difficult selec-

more graceful posture and better
control OF his voice and he will make
most effective speaker
Mr.. Moore handled his subject in
telling manner. His piece, THE
Tell-Tale Heart" was one which
would not appeal to the general pub
lie as a suitable selection for de-
oiamation contest.
Mr.. Jackson did exceptionally well
for youth of his experience and age.
With more training, he should de-
velop into very good speaker. His
subject was "Antony's Funeral Ora
ton
Mr.. Richmond made the best
showing among the young men. He
was forceful and presented his sub
Ject, supposed Speech of John
Adams In an easy and graceful
manner. His enunciation is capable
of improvement. but his general
style of delivery is very effective. He
should stand good chance OF win
ming the state medal.
Mr.. Zobernick handled difficult
subject. THE Arena Scene" from;
Quo Vadis," In excellent manner.
With more training in articulation
he should make very efficient
speaker. He possesses considerable
natural ability.
A delightful musical program was
rendered. the numbers being inter-
spersed throughout the oral num-
