f u ZELMA TEED UBALFOUR ORATORICAL CONTEST For the first time in the history of the Collegiate a Commercial student carried off the girl's medal in the annual Balfour Oratori- cal Contest. And it is the first time the Commercial Department has entered a candidate. It is fitting, too, that the winner should be Zelma Teed of Form 4E, for no Commercial student has taken a greater interest in school activities, or has won more honors than she. For two years running she was awarded the General Proficiency Me.dal and in each year the race was a keen one. Her subject in the Oratorical Contest was Newspapers and the facts she so eloquently presented under three headings: History, Influence, and Functions, showed careful preparation and much time and effort in gathering facts. The Judges said they had no difl-iculty in picking the winner. Zelma has been the President of our Commercial Literary Society for the past year and the report on that department elsewhere illustrates her ability as a leader. The Chairman of the Board in a recent speech said: '4We shall hear from Zelma in the years to come in the public life of this city. Zelma leaves us this year to take her place in the business world, and we wish her well-her qualifica- tions ensure her success. 66

First Form-Lilliam Thompson. Second Form-Zelma Teed. Third F orm-Hazel Blanchard. Special Form-Ann Kreutzer. It might be added that this is the second year in which Zelma Teed has won the medal. Muriel Still was awarded by the judges a special prize-a gold Eversharp pencil-as her percentage was a few decimal points below the winner of thc Special Form lVIedal.
