PRIZE WINNERS CONTEST
DECISION CRITICISED
By Walter A. Ellis.

The much advertised Essay Contest
staged by MIR. B. w. Fits and others
each year was presented to a fair
audience last Sunday, December 10Th.
Four gentlemen and two ladies were
the contestants. All OF the essays
were instructive and disclosed evi-
dence of much labor and research.
The musical numbers by Nine. Patti
Brown and Mrs. Madeline Sobrian
were classics. also the instrumental
by Mrs. Pearle Cooper deserves note.
1t is the opinion Of the representa-
tive Of the WHIP who was present
and seated upon the very front scat
center. thai the awarding Of the
ladies prize diamond ring) to Mrs.
Duncan F. Webster was CON
TEST CRIME" as hundreds said,
after the dismissal. The voice OF Mrs.
Webster was not audible to persons
seated IN the front row and her de
livery and poise were not even as
commendable as the thought which
she aroused or presented. Her con-
struction was only lair and She did
not finish within the time limit or do
we believe i'll any limit She was in
terrupted as her tones faded away
Mrs. Myra Reeves clearly was her
mistress in construction, delivery,
poise and subject matter.
The awarding OF the prize to Mrs
Webster was even more punk" than
the close decision from the ranks OF
the gentlemen.
The gentleman's prize was awarded
to NJ. {. h. Mason. Mr.. Mason de
livered a we'll balanced essay as an

We have no quarrel for the man

when they returned (the first time to
the auditorium) admitted that they
we're not satisfied with their own

criticism after the Contest. Mrs.
