The essaya which had been selected from the dif ferent terms and submitted to the gen-.' eral committees, were Dorothy Lewie, fourth term; Katherine Huget, third term; Ruth Cummings, second . term; Florence Summerville, first term. Tha patriotic spirit ran high after tha com positions had been read and the school had united in singing patriotic song.
