who wait--John will be there on the
look out.
And now we come to another soft
pedal.
Miss Esther Mcdowell, who ap-
peared, and who entcted "Jeptha's
Daughter" just in the manner that
Jeptha's daughter would have done
it, had she been there in person
Many who are familiar with thu
story must have recognized in the
modulated voice, the facial express
sions and the perfect gestures, that
Miss Mcdowell felt that she was
really in the daughters place, and
the Grafton given her by the audience
was evidence that they too believ-
ed it."
PART TWO
With the rising of the curtain came
the piece-de- resistance of the even
ing-a French minuet, led by Misses
Jean Young and Emily Ross, the 9TH
er dancers being Misses Lois Har-
cock, Iris Kitchens Eva Richardson,
Anabel Maddox, Phyllis Young ard
Loleta Huffman.
This dance was charming, and ex-
cCuted with an infantite chic, and al
SO timidity that created quite an in
terest to the onlookers, who clamored
until it was reproduced.
Next in order was William Evans
who did himself proud with his decla-
nation of "The Opportunities of the
American Scholar" Mr.. Evans was
up to his theme, and his handling OF
the subject showed that he had i'm
proved upon at heart opportunity -
| lis utterance was distinct and his welt
rcunder periods and change of voice
and proper punctuation, earned for
linn the highest encores.
Miss Sydney Tull made good in her
recital of the "Soul of the Violin"-
her versatile portrayed the love that a
human being can give to an inaminate
object, was quite real, and convincing
| that Emusic is the food of Love-" Miss
Tull was charming in manner and
Ter rhetoric splendid-they ought to
have more prizes.
Music-again took form-this time
solo and chorus by the High School
Cuartette-Mr. Malcolm Merrill was
the soloist-he was accompanied by
John Lang, James Schoolfield and
Frederick Henderson. They sang well
and made so much of a hit that they
were recalled a number of times
Mr.. James Ennis, as the "Thirtieth
Man" was a credit to himself and the
school, and will probably live to ver
| fy the truth of his defamation in be-
ing the man honored. He was gooo
all through and received splendid
assurance from the audience.
Miss Olga Wulff next took the
stage and held the audience enrapt-
ured with her splendid recital of the
painter of Seville" The subject was
good, and the judges said Miss Wulfl
was best. She received the medal an |
great burst of applause.
William Veasey was the last speak
err on the program in "That Some
thing" Well, it is not necessary to
say that he was it. Yes, Williarn
chose good subject, acted the part,
just as he described, and got just
what he was working for-the re-
ward of his time and ambition, the
pleasure it gave to his friends, the
pride it brought to those parents, and
his own pride when he wears tn .
medal. There was more singing by
the Quartette, more music by the or
chestra, a short speculative talk as to
the probable winners, more music ~
The orchestra, long wait and then
the Chief Judge Estelle appeared,
announced that the long wait was
caused by being unable to agree. He
