Presentations of the cup and ribbons
were made in The opening exercises of
the high school Wednesday morning
| by Principal Julius L. Warren.
| In remarks before presenting the
awards Mr.. Warren laid stress on the
point that the boy who was faithful
in practice, even though he does not
win prize or docs not make team
in athletics, but finishes his race even
| though he comes in last, is deserving of
| just as much credit and just as much
respect and admiration as the boy who
wins all tirsts.
In distributing the prizes Mr. War
| rem presented the ribbons first to those
| who never had won place before Civ
| ing the fourth, third, second and first
ribbons in succession, the last presenta-
ton being made to Leighton H. Moves,
who received the ribbons representing
his 20 points won.
1 He then read letter from NJ. j.
Moran in which Mr.. Moran asked Mr.
Warren to accept the cup and present
it in his place to the highest individual
point winner.
AS each boy stepped forward TO re-
ceive his ribbons there was wild out
burst of cheering under the leadership
Of Jane Daley and Thomas Sterreove.
