PAOE THRKtt Here's Solution in Mail Tribune's "Guess Who" Picture Contest LIST OF WINNERS TO BE ANNOUNCED NEXT WEDNESDAY ' Y k , .j; MTCDFORD l-fATT, TRTT3UNR MEDFOHI). OT?F,fiOX. MONDAY. AFfirST 1; 1038. ( 4m y : 6) yAy K No. 7, Picture of A. F. Sten nett, Tripped Most Large Number of Entries Delays Final Tabulations r v a In Today the Matl Tribune publishes, with identifying names, all of the as pictures of prominent Medford residents which appeared in tnis newspaper's "Guess Who" contest. Tabulation of entries in the content is going forward as fast as possible and It is expected that the work of checking the mountainous pile will be completed in time to permit an nouncement of winners on Wednes day, August 3. Analysis of the answers submitted Cos proved exceedingly Interesting. For Instance: The picture of -W. H. McGowan (Ho. 14) was taken by the late Henry C. Mackey, pioneer photographer, in 1910. when "Mac", as he Is popular ly known, sported a moustache which might well have been the envy of a Bulgarian plenipotentiary. The en graving was made for use in connec tion with ti.e Mail Tribune's story of tho dedication of the Elks temple in 1916. at which time Mr. McGowan was exalted ruler. Although the fierce looking hirsute adornment was up rooted several years prior to the tem ple dedication, and the wearer has since appeared smooth -shaven, prac tically all entries so far tabulated nave correctly Identified the picture Stennett Sticks 'Em On the other hand, the picture of A. P. Stennett (No. 7) peering from behind a somewhat similar facial adornment had the "Guess Who-ers" stopped cold. Mr. Stennett, who has been foreman of the Mall Tribune's mechanical department for many years, revealed that tne picture was made in Springfield, Mo., 35 years ago, when he held a similar posltian on the Springfield Republican. The moustache had gone Into tlw ash can before Mr. Stennett's advent here In 1819, however, which prob ably accounts for so few being able to .visualize Mm witn the decoration. .Loss of the Stennett soup stralnei came as the result of a tumble from a Springfield street car. In falling the foreman Jammed a lighted clga; lnto the foliage on one side of hi face. When he had recovered suf ficiently to permit entering a barbe shop the mirrors told him It wouli be better to even matters up by hav ing the unslnged side wi lacked off. The result was so pleasing that he has since faced the world sans cam ouflage. Welcome Relief . Incidentally, conclusion of the con test brings a welcome relief for Mr Stennett who had been forcd to stand silent while unsuspecting cronies at the Elks club, discussing the "Guess Who" contest spoke often and dis paragingly of "that old blankety blank No. 7 hiding behind the han dlebars," as they debated his iden tity. Guesses on No. 7 ran the gamut, a majority believing It the likeness of James R. Gregg. Many guessed Oris Crawford, while another large -faction favored J. A. Perry. Other plentiful nominations were Ira Luman, N. 8. , Bennett, Dr. P. G. - Carlow, John Mann, M. L. Alford, Dr. Charles T. Sweeney and additional scores In lesser number. Another picture wfilch crossed up the guessers was No. 4, that of W. Carlton Janes. So many entrants wrote in the name of Harris B. Janes that the tabulators began to won der If the picture really was W. Carlton's. When a contest answer was received from Harris B., how ever, the Mall Tribune's engraving In dex system seemed vindicated for it was believed a cinch that Harris B., tdould know a picture of his brother, W. Carlton, when he saw It. Sisters Confuse Of the ladles pictured in the con test, guessers had the most difficul ty with Miss Phyllis Swearingen (No. 8), superintendent of the Com munity hospital, and Mrs. Esther M. Sanderson (No. 31). Many believed No. 8 to be the likeness of Mrs. J. Vern Shangle, while another large group went astray in naming Mrs. George Trelchler as No. 21. Several nominated Mrs. Robert C Hart in place of her sister. Miss Eliz abeth Vllm, No. 4, and several also confused another pair of sisters, Mrs. Anita Robertson, No. 3, and Mrs. Ed na Stoehr. A.
