THE GLEAM H D MARGARET UINN, THE WINNERS OF THE BEST ALL-AROUND STUDENT CONTTJJSii'lEIg'1?O1igS?OREg BY THE ANNUQXL GLEAM. These two students have done a great deal for Chrlsnian and rightfully deserve this honor. Margaret Quinn has been quite prominent in dramatics, and has alwaysbeen high in scholarship, while Albert Nigh has been on the debate team for the past two years, has had 'exeeptzonally high grades, and was president of the Senior Class for the last semester. Both are members of the National Honor Society. T Best All-Around Student Contest At the opening of the Gleam sales in December, a contest sponsored by the Annual was announced, the purpose of which was to determine the two best all-around students, boy and girl, in Chrisman High School. By making elec- tion to this honor contingent upon. scholarship and outstanding service to the school, the Gleam hoped to make this something more than a mere popularity contest. At the outset, each class was asked to select two candidates from a- mong their members, these to be passed upon by a faculty committee to deter- mine their scholastic eligibility before a final vote was taken. The candidates chosen were as follows: for the Seniors, Margaret Quinn and Albert Nighg for the Iuniors, Margaret Etzenhouser and Darrel Catheyg and for the Sophomores, Mary lane Chiles and William Shedd. Voting in the final contest was pref- erential and was limited to Gleam subscribers, each subscriber's votes dim- inishing in proportion as he had delayed his subscription. The contest attracted considerable attention for a time, each class striving hard to elect its candidates. In the end, however, the Seniors were victorious, Margaret Quinn and Albert Nigh being declared worthy of the honor of the best all-around students at Chrismanu. This was the first year that such a contest has ever been attempted here. If it continues it will be another honor for Chrisman students to aspire to. Page22 9 3
