He then told or thr work or training the orehofdra and how rortitnato thr pro pie had been In arrurkig as Irndor Mr. Sol TiOwrnstrln. Mr. IiwrntrIn's popularity was expressed by a hand some present bring presented to him Vast night. Miss Van Wormrr' work was then dlseUBSrd In this connection and a souvrnlr was given her by the Hchools. Tho announcement or thr judges showed that out of town people had been selrrted for this Important work. Thoy were .1. I'rank Mly of Tisho mingo, It. H. Hayes of Marietta and H. H. Porter of Davis. Tho Judges were not unanimous In tholr decision. Itrally It was difficult to select the winners but nil d'd so well that no one cou'd otter crltlrlsm. The rirst prize went to Oeorgo Wil liams. His subject wub "Legacies of Irfo and Lincoln." Young AVIlIlaniH lias mastered to a remarkable degree the art of oratory. His enunciation was clear, his bearing fine mid ho captured the crowd. Ho Is a hard worker In t-ohool and Is a favorite with his mates. Tho srrond award went to Miss Mamie dross, her sub ject being. "Washington. Ileal or ldi.il." Miss dross has a voice nnd expression that Is .well fitted to her subject and she was picked by tunny as tho winner. "American Ideal." by Miss Jewell Wheeler was an entertaining number. Sho appeared well and hor dellveiy was good. Her voice was not well fitted to patriotic declamation which accounts more for her loss. Sho wns nono tho less appreciated and was favorably considered by tho Judges when they first retired. "Tho Minute Man," In which the men Ira tho furrow nud at work bench In tho revolution were eulogized is probably no lawyer in Ardmoro could euloglzo them was presented by Jun ior Murnliy. He entered in" l'u spirit, of his speech nnd tlioro were points of vory 'ilgh oratory that made the Judges puzzle. Junior Is n lino typo of tho progressive and ag gressive American school boy with American Ideals thoroughly grounded Into tho fibre of his existence. If there had been no other number on tho program his sperch alono from a standpoint of rntertnlnmont .would havo boon, worth tho rvrnlng. Jack London, a boy of flno physique, fine appearance and n masterly volco ol superior training had for his sub ject. "The Hero of Saratoga.' Hone diet Arnold was pictured as a soldier, an a leader and tho condltons that led to his downfall woro portrayed by tho bright white light of real and original oratory. When tho Judges retired n very ap propriate song was struck up by tho Juniors led by Miss Iwibello Dean, which began. "Farowell Seniors." Tho words caught llko nn electric sparl and tho Interest was Intense, until the Judges made their report. Ono very pleasing fenturo of the evening was tho appearance of tho rmr :i !' sixtotto.
