Win in State Scholastic Contest Lawrence High won three places— two firsts and a second— in the State-Wide Scholastic Contests at Emporia, May 5. They were: First in English, Literature and Composition, Dorothy Horton; First in Shorthand, Magdelena Noe; Second in Ex- tempore Speaking, Leland Barrows. Two seconds were won in the State-Wide Music contest held the day before. They were: Piano, Virginia Arnold; Bass, Vena Bolin. In the high school division of the County-Wide Spelling Contest held here today, Arthur McKittrick of Lawrence took first place, and Mildred Jensen of Lawrence and Vera Cook of Baldwin tied for second place. Leland Barrows of Lawrence took third place, and Mildred Cook of Lawrence took fourth place. The purpose of this contest was too choose representatives from Douglas County to the all-State Spelling Contest at Topeka next September. Because of this tie for second place an additional examination was given, and Mildred Jensen won, thus giv- ing Lawrence both representatives for the state contest. Prizes of gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded the winners of first, sec- ond, and third places. —Journal-World. K
