She represented the district in the state finals held at Broadway high school on April twenty- sixth. (the jRcUt (Cantcat The Post Intelligencer sponsored a new type of contest in this district —The Flag Contest. A large number of Edmonds students became inter- ested and entered. Seventy-five questions were asked on the flag. In addi- tion to submitting the answers the students wrote a five minute essay on the flag. The contest was divided into two divisions, namely, for the girls and boys. Due to the large number of students entering, judges eliminated by manuscript. As a result of the elimination six girls and five boys delivered their orations on May 1, before the assembly. Those who spoke were: Erna Johnson, Nancy Mason, Margaret Scanlon, Beatrice Watkins, Clara Pennock, Nancy Podas, Robert Davenny, Arthur Pennock, William Ham- ilton, Herman Rendler, and Donald Hareid. Nancy Mason was awarded first place for the girls and Herman Rend- ler first place for the boys. twenty'seven

Miss Jones The theme of this edition of the Echo is taken from the Northlands; the Eskimo, the freezing cold, and the northern lights predominating, to cany out the idea of the Spirit of Exploration. The Annual Staff carried on a vigorous advertising campaign and sold two hunderd annuals during the spring. Advertising space was also sold to various Edmonds firms. An Annual drive was held and the different rooms contested against one another to see which could report the largest number of sales. The seniors came first with one hundred per cent. The lower floor freshmen were the losers by a narrow margin and to pay for this they gave an assembly program. The staff edited one number of the Wireless, taking the paper entirely out of the hands of the Wireless staff for that week. On the night of April 17, the Annual staff took over the management of the Princess Theatre. Besides the regular show, a half hour program was furnished by the students. One-half of the proceeds from this was turned over to the staff. The first Echo was published four years ago by the Class of ’26, and was in the form of a scrapbook. Since then the Annual has been in book form as it is now. twentysix
