The boys and girls were judged separately, the first prizes being five dollars each, the second prizes two dollars and fifty cents each. For several years it has been the custom for the Senior Class to write original essays in connec- tion with their course in English. About twenty boys and girls volunteer to mem- orize their essays and deliver them in assembly before the students. The members of the Senior High School fac- ulty, acting as judges, select five boys and five girls to compete in the Senior Essay Contest. The winners of this contest then rewrite their essays to fit into a theme suggested by the Senior Class Advisers. This preparation forms the basis for the devel- opment of the program for graduation. “The Am- erican Way” is the theme for this year's gradu- ating class. Page Eighteen
