Bourbon Takes First in Music, With Culver Second Plymouth gets Third

Place In Both

Our Orator Makes Fine Impression.

Taking as his subject "The Dignity of Labor" Clarence Menser of Culver High school carried off the honors at Bourbon last night in the County Oratorical contest. Miss Arba Simmons of Argos won second place and Miss Ruama Sult of Plymouth third. The markings of the judges on these three were very close. In the Vocal Musical contest Bourbon High School girls' quartet won the first place singing "Sweetheart, Sigh no More." Culver already victory in oratory won second too. Plymouth came third in music as in oratory. The crowd in attendance was large and much enthusiasm was shown by representatives of the schools. Large delegations were present from every place except Bremen where the recent epidemic of scarlet fever prevented a large number from attending, as the health authorities thought the only safe plan to pursue was not to allow a general attendance. Bourbon was filled all day long with different delegations coming in for the contest. The yells of the different schools kept things hideous during the evening. Bourbon used tin pans, megaphones and "he-haws" to drown out the other delegations. The Plymouth delegation was larger than any other present. Markings of Judges. The judges who decided the contests seemed to suit the audience in their decisions. Though there were individuals who dissented, as there always will be, the satisfaction seemed quite general. The judges on oratory were Dr. W. E. Lugenbeel of Winona Lake College, Prof. Kemper of the Warsaw schools, and Prof. G. C. Tipsword, assistant director in oratory at Valparaiso University. The judges on music were Prof. Alfred Holtzworth, director of music in the Ft. Wayne Plymouth Congregation church, Miss Martha Ripple assistant teacher of music in the Warsaw schools, and Mr. Haydn Owens of Winona Lake.

Never blessed with much of this worlds goods, and after the loss of his companion, he succeeded in keeping a family of six small children together until all were grown and well educated in the Plymouth schools. He lived up to the measure of his time and to a ripe age---leaving an example, which though not perfect, still has much for thought and study to his children looking to the future. Father and mother reunited in bliss, a great incentive to be strong in faith and of good courage.
