concert was heard in ratcliffs hall before an audience of some four hundred people the feature of the evening was the oratory by seven contestants namely win vanzant helen row- botham margaret baker frank yake william allan francis judd and enna heise four prizes were awarded between these seven and the judges messrs a d bruce revis stouffer and a reynolds all outside men had no easy task in making the awards they declared the winners in the following order helen rowbotham 1st enna heise 2nd margaret baker 3rd and wm allan 4th mr bruce announced the winners and paidgreat credit to each contestant a creditable showing was made by each of the sevenand it was with great difficulty he stated the judges made their de cision the speakers and their subjects were wm vanzant some problem facing our empire helen rowbotham a new faith in canada margaret baker true great ness frank yake history of the bri tish navy wm allan true success francis judd dr grenfell of labrador enna heise universal peace while the judges were summing up their pointy behind the screen speculation was rife as to what their decision would be frankly it was not made in accordance with the ideas of the audience the general impression so far as we could gather was that while the judges had picked the most worthy four they failed to place them in the proper order of merit th audience may liave been wrong and the judges right if cer tain points only were considered and in future it would be well for the judges to state at the outset what basis they proposed to judge the speakers on then the audience would have a more intelligent un derstanding of the finding of the judges arid perhaps be more in harmony with their decision how ever the whole seven pupils are to be congratulated on their splendid effort each address was from eight to thirteen minutes in length miss baker being the shortest speaker while the others mostly spoke from 10 to 12 minutes there were other items on the program including elocutionary con test won by stanley rose and maxine baker other contestants were doris sinclair and francis judd school song drill piano duet by enna heise and the school orchestra
