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.
