Honor Where Honor is Due.
As a member of the Athenian
Literary Society, I wish to men
tion a few things that have been
overlooked in the awarding of the
medals by that organization. This
society was organized in the eighth
grade of the High School last fall
and only those who attained a re
quired average were eligible as
members. It decided to award a
medal to the student making the
greatest improvement during the
.session and one to the student at
taining the highest average in
scholarship.
v lfc;vas found that Paul Barneit
hid made a decided improvement
dva1lf6therstodents4irtliS grader
An, almost unprecedent circum
stance arose when it came to the
decision of the winner of the
scholarship medal, for it was found
to be a tie between Eglantine Mer
litt and Louise Thompson, There
fore, one not having excelled the
other and sharing the honors e
qually, it was only justifiable to
award a medal to each. Laura
Newton who has so well proved
the wisdom of her choice as presi
dent of the Society, was an . ex
ceedingly close competetor for the
scholarship medal. Member.
