Brilliant Exercises Were Held Last
Friday- Five Prizes award¬
ed. All the Speeches
Were Good.
by MRS. j. w. LEE.
Li the Auditorium of Emory
college, May 1 st, 1908. was held
the Gills Elocution Contest, and
it wa s a liorlect succpss. The
Welcome address by Prof. Weber
of Emorv college was unique and
ttill of bright, thoughts expressed
in i I f' \v words fitly spoken.”
1 iof. \\ . B. Merritt, the State
School Commissioner honored the
occasion by lus presence and mad e
an excellent addr ess.
Miss Stella Bellu Cowan wa%!
one of the youngest, of the fair
contestants, am one of the j
brightest, and best., Manv in the !
audience would have awarded a j
prize to Miss Cowan.
Miss Lillian Crutchfield sus- j
tained tile double part of two j
characters in a bright and charm-J
ing manuer.
Miss Ruth downs recited a story
of heroism in a style which was
intensely dramatic and realistic.
Miss Osie Eason rendered the!
4 4 Spanish Gypsy Flower Girl” and
won a prize.
Every one listened with pleas
ure to the bright and sparkling
wit in the selection so well ren¬
dered by Miss Virgil Estes.
Estes is from Stansell’s district 1
and won a prize.
The music by Miss Marie Evans
enhanced the pleasure of the day.
Miss Evans is a talented young
musician and it was evident that
slie had been trained by *he best j
masters of the ‘‘Divine Art. n
Little Miss Nellie Blye Gibbs j
v\ 'on nil hearts by her gentle, mod
est grace, and her soft and melo¬
dious voice. The perfect articu- j
latioa and tender interpretationof
the noble sentiment of “Van Bib- i
1-ers Rock,” won for little Nellie
Blye the first prizp.
i’he selection of Miss Berry
Hayd* n ot Oxford, was a very
difficult and trying one. ‘‘We’d
scarce expect one of her age, ” a
«r irl so dainty and fair to portray
to us “The Climax of a Crime. )
Yet 1 he piece was rendered with * i
the consummate skill of an artist j
and actress. Miss Hayden won ;
seeond prize. Her rendition was
perfect.
Miss Lu :ile Hendrick reciled a
■Hvcet, pure story of the New
Year’s deed
Miss Della Mann interested the
audience with “The Trappers
Story.”
Miss YVylder Jay was t he one—
only-—girl who went to that con¬
test witfi no flying flags, and no
inspiring school yell. She repre¬
sented the Porterdu'ie school; a
pure daughter of the noble, faith¬
ful working people of the South¬
lands. Like 4 4 the flower that
bloomed in the sand” she has no¬
bly used her limited advantages,
and with the brief, but excellent
training of the gifted Miss Ethel
Walthall she rendered her part
gracefully and perfectly. Porter
dale and Miss Walthall have rea¬
son to be proud of Miss Jay.
The Emory Quartette bright¬
ened the program with excellent
music. They were encored again
and again, “whereof we were all
glad. 11
4 < The Soul of the Violin" 11 was
recited by Miss Ora Parker with
deep feeling and intense emotion.
Miss Parker won a prize.
Miss Julia Wilson was last and
some thought best. The selec¬
tions of Miss Julia Wilson and
Miss Wylder Jay were both pure,
sweet stories of unselfish heroism
and we love to listen to them from
the lips of the young, the
and the fair.
