PRIZE STORY CONTEST
FOR HIGH SCHOOLS

The literary department Of the Ne
vada Federation of Women's Clubs
has again opened its prize story con-
test, and all the high schools of the
state have been notified and furnished
with rules governing the entering Of
the contest says the Reno Gazette.
Each year the federation through
this department offers to the high
school students of the state the op-
portunity to compete for $50 in prizes
for the best short stories This mon
ey is donated to this work by Hugh H.
Brown, OF Tonopah, i'll memory Of
his father and is therefore known as
the Robert McCutcheon Brown
Memorial
1T is the belief of this organization
that the high school students are not
always encouraged to develop their
powers of expression as they were in
the days of the Literary Society, when
our great men of this age wrote really
creditable stories at very early age"
says Mrs George West. Mr. Brown
made it possible to try out the ex-
pertinent and while it has taken years
to interest the schools in the work,
those entering the contest have shown
much talent and ability.
''This year the plan is to link the
high school closer to the woman's
club by having the local club in each
town where there is a high school,
encourage the students to take part
and later arrange all evening when
their town may hear all the best
stories submitted by their students
In order that there shall be no limit
on those being allowed to try for the
prizes, all contestants will hand their
stories to the local woman's club
committee who will select the two best
to be presented to the state board of
Judges. In order that no partia1ity
shall be shown no names will appear
on these stories. but the name of the
story and its author will be sent in
sealed envelope to Mrs. George West.
chairman of literature, Nevada Fed.
Grafton of Woman's Clubs Yerington.
In 1917 the first prize story was won
by Edward Quill of Carson City
high school, with story of the
Indians living on Lake Tahoe, entitled
"Squaw Face"
In 1918, Freda Coomhs of Reno
high school wrote story entitled
Star Flower which won the S25
prize.
These stories were read at the
state federation convention in Elko, (.
in October, by Bob McGee and Dor
othy Middleton, two students OF Elko
county high school.
This year the chairman of literature
is asking as many as can to select
the scenes for their stories from the
natural beauties of Nevada, or to
weave into their stories some of the
pioneer life of this state. The state
board who will decide the victors in
the finals are Mrs. p. b. Ellis of Car
son City, Mrs. Frank Gedney OF E1ko
and Rev. Mr.. Rogers, of Las Vegas.
