Attesting the interest our peo-
Pile have in oratory and essay the
High School assembly room was
we'll filled on Monday afternoon,
when the contest for the Ustick
cash prizes took place.
Not only was the purse present
ed by G. NJ. Ustick we'll worthy
the best efforts of our high, school
pupils, but an added incentive
was given by the knowledge that
the Grafton and essay receiving
the honors in this contest would
be the determining factor as to
our eligibility to enter the state
contest, and it was the consensus
of opinion from those who heard
the papers on Monday afternoon
that every one of the contestants
was worthy place in any state
high school contest.
In this final effort for the Ustick
prize nine students appeared, and
the results were as follows:
Oratory-First prize of Sc won
by Edward Chapman; second of
81 by Ray Farris.
Essay-First prize of Sc won by
Kathleen Neale; second of 81 by
Mabel Orton.

That the beginning of the end
of the school year has been reach
ed is shown by the fact that the
Junior-Senior reception has al
ready been held, and plans are
now under way for others, among
st them the alumni reception
which is justly placed last.
