THE PENSEMAN CONTESTS VERY year at Pennington there are three contests. The first, the Ronan Contest, had only two entrants this year. The quality of both orations was a little below Pennington's usual standard for this contest. The decision went to Schurz, a freshman. Next came the biggest literary event of the year-the Callilogian Con- test. Every year the two fraternities have an oratorical contest for a hand- some silver cup offered by the alumnae of Pennington's old Callilogian Society. This year the contest was won by Theta Phi, with two of her speakers receiving first and second prizes. The quality of all the speeches was very fine and the school and fraternity spirit shown in the chapel that evening was the best the writer has ever seen in this school. The last literary contest of the year was the Declamation Contest. There were about fifteen participants who all presented their selections in com- mendable fashion. Another annual contest which should he included under this head is Field Day. Cups and medals are always offered by friends of the school and stimu- late keen competition among the boys of all the classes. 44
