Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1951-12-01

Most manageable bachelOrette
This is where the votes were
closest. But the committees choice
is Miss Bibiana Yumul. She was
Community princess in 1948, at
present an officeworker. Young,
vivacious, charming, graduate of
Franklin High, she is the second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jose M.
Yumul, 1913 E. Spruce ST., tele-
phone Eliot 6470.
Speaker of the year - Filipinos
are born orators and lovers and it
was no easy task to choose one
from many able and equally capa-
BILE nominees. But since the basis
of selection was ability and per-
Torrance during the year 1851, the
committee picked Miss Carmen
Buyson, who spoke in many Fill
pino and American audiences
during the year. Her latest speech
before the ST. Teresa's Mothers
Club last month, drew compliment
tary remarks from her hearers.
Convincing in her arguments, elo-
quent in her delivery, literary in
her style, charming in her person
atty, Miss Buyson, the Filipino
"Portia," (she was lawyer in the
Philippines before she came to the
States), justly deserves the nomi-
nation of speaker of the year."
Public-spirited man of the year
Dan Sarusal, Community presi-
dent, is the committees choice, but
he had to face stiff competition.
Outstanding coed of 1851 - Miss
Josephine Corsilles is the commit
tees choice. An ga" student at
the University of Washington, she
is also active in extracurricular ac-
Invites, singing at International
banquets, dancing Filipino folk
dances at various programs. She is
working for a masters degree, ma
joring in English literature.
Folk Dancer of the Year-Miss
Aida Escuton justly deserves the
honor bestowed upon her by the
committee. There is hardly any in
ternational program at the Univer-
sity of Washington or in the city at
large that Miss EScuton was not
presented. In the spring tour con-
Quoted by the University of Wash
ington foreign students" last
March, Miss Escuton danced Fill
pino folk dances in Ellensburg,
Coulee City, Spokane, Wenatchee,
and Bellingham. The most graceful
of all, Aida is truly the little dane
ing marvel" of the Filipino Com
munity.
Most Talented Girl of 1951-It is
hard to dispute the selection of
Miss Miriam Gonzales in this de-
partment. She has almost all hui
man talents fitted to woman. Her
coloratura soprano voice has made
us set up and take notice; her dane
ing ability, both South American
and Spanish and Hawaiian, is al
most professional in quality; her
vacotional proficiency as Office sec
rotary is excellent; and last, but not
least, her Spanish-type beauty-all
combine to make her the most tall
ented girl of 1851.
Social Service Worker of the
Year = Nicanor Bacoloy, who has
served in various campaigns for the
Community Chest, the Red Cross,
the Anti-TB, and other Community
activities, is an easy winner in this
department.
Outstanding College MALE Stu
dent of 1951-Quiet and unassum-
ing, Albert Acena of Seattle Uni
versity, rightly deserves this dis
tinction. He has been consistently
on the honor roll of the Jesuit
school during the year, active in
extracurricular activities, and a
Woodworking self-supporting stu
dent at that. Tall and slender of
the Lincoln type, his brain is no
less efficient.
