back wail of the auditorium was covered with the photographs con- tributed. The contest, which was a part of the exhibit, consisted of two groups, the first reserved exclusively for pic- tures taken by amateur photographers who had never received a prize in any former picture contest, and the second for those students who had received :i prize before. The pictures of the latter group were both taken and finished by the students themselves. Eight prizes were awarded, first and second prizes for landscapes and first and second prizes for portraits in each group. The pictures of the winners were so excellent that we have de- cided to patronize them if they should ever open up a photograph studio. CVVe expect cut rates for thisj. Manual On Top Again. Yea, Manual! Yea, Manual! Yea, Manual! Did we cheer? No, not very fre- quently, but when we did, Oh n1y! We certainly did make the Berkeley In- stitute auditorium ring with our voices. Imagine two Manualites, one at present in the school, one just recently of our ranks but now attending lleffley Institute, walking away with the second and first prizes respectively at the Hamilton Declaination Contest. Ludwig, our brilliant orator, was the winner of the second prize and he well deserved it. Ruschke a former dele- gate of Manual to the Colgate Ex- temporaneous Contest, and a former active member and officer of the Manual Debating Society, carried off first prize. The contest was held on Friday evening, May 5th, under the auspices of Hamilton College. Nine Thirty schools were represented by nine ex- ceptionally fine orators. Manual was supported by the largest number of representatives. Both prize winners received their fares free to Hamilton College where they were entitled to enter the general contest of prize win- ners held under the auspices of the college. Class Day. Class Day? Oh well it wouldn't do for us to tell you how good we were so we won't, but did you hear we were offered a vast sum to perform for The Home for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind? The program was a Shakespearian Revival, the titles at any rate. Edith Mayne and Chalmers Nicoll, described Manual in 1966 in a sketch called As You'd Like It. A mock trial by Sherman Shipman was f'Much Ado About Nothing. Mr. Arson, the accused, Iinally suc- ceeds in obtaining Justice With a real boob, and a regular old maid. Allis Well That Ends Well by Gladys Vorsanger, justified its title. Some songs, violin and mandolin selec- tions by our talented class-mates com- pleted the program. An Unusual Exhibit. For the iirst time in a long while we have had an exhibition of real hand- painted pictures. It was at the Man- ual-Pratt Exhibit on May 18 and 19, in the rear of the auditorium. There were portraits, and pencil drawings, stencils and sketches, one of the finest collections ever exhibited in Manual. The canvas sketches and portraits, except one, were painted by Paul Hesse, who was a former art editor of the Prospect. Hintermeister's works

On Thursday, May 11, 1916, Mrs. Crafts, an elocutionist, entertained about one hundred students with vari- ous humorous selections, accompanied by her sister at the piano. She pleased them so greatly that she was encored no less than six times. This, together with clever dancing by Miss Mabel Dooley, made the afternoon one that was greatly appreciated by those pres- ent. The Blue Book. The Blue Book is out. If you have not ordered one, do so immediately. Your Prospect agent will take all such orders. This year the Blue Book is different. It is larger and better in every way. It contains in detail the doings of all the activities that have taken place in Manual during the last year. The price 'of the Blue Book this year is ten cents. The Gibson Pictures. Every person will admit that an il- lustration, no matter how good or bad, will always convey to the reader a clearer meaning of the article he is reading. lt seems to bring to 'one's eye a picture of the characters in the article or story, fitted in where they be- long and acting as the words dictate. With this fact in mind, a certain kind person, known to the world at large as Gibson, collected, wherever he could, pictures of scenes surround- ing Shakespeare's life. These pictures were in the library on the bulletin board all during the month of May. Benjamin Goldberg, one of 'our stu- dents is to be thanked for securing these pictures which enabled us to en- joy the works of Shakespeare so much more than by reading alone. The Musical Arts Concert. On Thursday evening, May 11, our chorus in company with the Metro- politan Orchestra, did their part toward the May Choral Festival. Professor Fleck who is at the head of this movement intends to bring the young people in touch with great sing- ers, and masterpieces of the day. In this way he thinks that they may be made more familiar with such works and when they do Cllill1C9 to sing light opera they will be more fitted to do so. At The Blue Dolphin. Manual did its part in celebrating the three-hundredth anniversary of William Shakespeare. On May 29th, two days after the school play, it pro- duced, At the Blue Dolphin, in the auditorium under the supervision of Miss Conklin. The cast consisted of sixty students of Manual. The sketch was quite a novelty. It represented a group of roving actors who had stopped at the Blue Dolphin Inn. There they were requested or bribed or inveigled into producing some of their plays. The hall was cleared, some sort of a stage was imagined, and the players began. They produced snatches from several of Shakespeare's plays and gave: quite a good imitation of the way in which they were played long ago. Those who took part and the Thirty-one
