announcement of the judges. the
audience in the Thomas Jefterson‘

”The choice was distinctly
popular, and the audience showed
its feeling plainly as they flied out.
The contest was a close one in many
ways. Besides the two speakers
mentioned were Isadore R. A.

It was not thought that the girl
would be in the running, as. the
audience could not. hear part or her

With the announcement that Pam
was placed second. there was an
audible gasp, and then the audience
rose in an uproar.
Philip Jacob. Principal of the
High school, who was present at, the
talk. had nothing to say on the de-
clsion this morning.
"There were five very competent
judges present." he said. "and they
all seemed to agree. Erich spoke
well. and I am very proud of him."
Erich Pam himself had little com-
merit.
"Of course. I would like to have
won. but if I didn‘t at. least I was
