Muriel Hutton received honor- able mention. ----- • --- Interscholastic Speaking Contest The Northern New York Prize Speaking League held its annual contests on the eve- nings of May 24 and May 28. The seven schools represented were Malone, Potsdam, Can- ton, Ogdensburg, Massena, Norwood, and Gouverneur. The contests for the boys and girls were held separately, the girls meeting at Potsdam and the boys at Massena. In the girls’ contest, Miss Dorothy Dygert won second place. ------O------ Art Essay Contest Four G. H. S. girls entered the Interscholastic Rssay Contest, sponsored by the Northern New York Federation of Women’s Clubs. Although Marcia Stone of Carthage was awarded the first prize of $10, for the best essay on The Immigrant and American Art, five other girls, including Olive Carter and Mar- tha Robinson of Gouverneur, received honorable mention. Poster Contest Janet Myers, a member of the Fresh- man Class, won first prize in the poster contest for the opera Aida, which was presented on May 10, at the Avon Theater in Watertown, under the auspices of the Northern New York State Federation of Music Clubs. The poster was entirely modernistic and was painted in blue upon a white background. The painting was made to interpret as closely as possible the scene in the opera, where Aida kneels before Amneris, the Egyptian princess, and pleads for forgiveness and her life, after having stolen the affections of Amneris’s suitor. Poppy Poster Contest The local Poppy Poster Contest was won this year by Raphael Boscoe, a member of our Freshman Class. This contest is an annual affair and is spon- sored by the American Legion Auxiliary for the purpose of giving more wide-spread publicity to the sale of poppies made by veteran soldiers of the World War. |IIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIlllUlinillllllllllllll||||||||||||| i Page Twenty-five

MARTHA ROBINSON'S ROLES SHOW SOME- THING OF HER LIFE Some detail from Martha Robin- son’s own life and career can be found in every picture she has made. Because of the fact that the blond siren of Staying at Home, making its headquarters at Hooey’s State Thea- tre this week, writes her own screen stories, she can’t resist making them autobiographical in some detail. In her first picture She Done Him Right, the heroine was a collector of diamonds, which Miss Robinson is in real life. Her second picture was copied from a famous court scene in the star’s career, and her third film con- tained a hold-up which she had just experienced. In her last film, Staying at Home, Miss Robinson is seen as an owner of a string of racing snails. And that fits, too, because she recently de- cided to start a stable of her own. The picture, with its setting in Som- erville, gives the charming star a new goal toward which to strive. Mary had a bathing suit And in it she did sport, She called it “Life” because some- where She read that life was short. , TIMELY ADVICE BY MASON MOSHER Golf Enthusiast and Noted Ameri- can Novelist Gives Counsel To Dan Cupid's Victims Mason Mosher, golf enthusiast and noted American novelist, presents some timely advice as Dan Cupid pre- pares to lead his willing victims to the June altar: 1. —Don’t be suspicious—your suspi- cions might be correct. 2. —Let the woman do the work. Men should be paid for their sac- rifice in some way. 3. —Don’t start a quarrel. You will be out of luck if you do. 4. —Let the woman do the talking. (She will anyway.) 5. —Don’t put your best foot first. You might get it stepped on. 6. —Don’t try to reason with a woman. (Don’t attempt the im- possible.) 7. —Don’t be generous. You will re- gret it. MILK PEDDLER BE- COMES FAMOUS SINGER Gerald Wells has advanced to the front over night.

Plunkett, was not present yesterdays morning at the Child Prodigy broad-| cast and his fans were a bit skeptical over little Johnnie’s radio career, al-j though Papa Plunkett still has vis-1 ions of a national hook-up. Johnnie, jrT, was allowed fifteen minutes' to display his celebrated sag-; acity and wit. He was perched on! his father’s knee, with his mother, Cecile, nearby. Presently the dread moment arrived, and it was evidentj from the first that he was more in-; trigued by the mechanics of the radio- than by his mission. Papa and Mamma sat breathless and panicky, but all urging was of no avail, as Johnnie Junior exercised- the prerogative of genius and re- fused to say a single word. MIKE WRANESH POSITIVE THAT HIS DOG DOES NOT MAKE FACES “Do dogs make faces?” “Certainly not,” says Mike Wra- nesh. 1 The controversy arose when Mar- tha Robinson, who is also in the pic- ture, Our Little Boy, claimed thai Mike’s dog made faces at her. Miss Robinson tried to prove her case by saying that a verterinarian said that all animals, especially dogs make faces at all times.
