E. MALCOLM STANNARD AWARD FOR PRIZE SPEAKING As The Elm goes to press, a noteworthy incident has come to the attention of the editors. Because of a keen interest in prize speaking, and because of a desire to encourage others to participate in this activity, E. Malcolm Stannard of the Senior Class has established a set of prizes for the annual Sophomore-Freshman contest. These prizes Qamounting to fifteen dollarsj consist of two first prizes of five dollars each, and two seconds of two dollars and a half each, for boys and girls. The Elm Board takes pleasure in recognizing this gift to our school, and it hopes that the loyal spirit which prompted it may lead other interested alumni to present awards. Thus a precedent will have been established. TESTS I love tests! The first thing I love dearly is the suspense before the questions are given. With all my heart I like to watch the faces of my fellow pupils grow green and yellow in turn. With all my soul and body I love to have the pupils in front of me lengthen the suspense by holding the papers for several minutes. After I get the test, it tickles me pink to have the teacher say that the test is uso simple. Then, when it is fin- ished, I enjoy immensely of course, those two or three days of waiting for the teacher to correct the papers. After the test is Hnally marked, I adore to be given a mark a few points lower than I think I deserve. But when I look the paper over and find the teacher fair and even generous, I keep my thoughts to myself. -Clyde Salmcms, jr., '31. Cool silver moonlight Casting a sleek sheen On smooth water. Deep, dusky quiet, Broken only By the noise at intervals Of the Venetian housewives Emptying the evening Garbage Into the canal. cm
