Eugenia Hardy, senior at | the Takoma-Silver Spring High School, , Was determined champion orator of th?. Maryland district in The Star's | Sixth National Oratorical Contest area in he Old Line State’s finals at La . Plata last night, while Harry Schos rank was adjudged victor in the M Kinley High School finals late yester- day afterncon, soscph John Muldowney of Leonard Hall was given position of alternate in the Maryland contest, and Allen Pope was placed similarly in the McKinley High School meet. The Maryland championship, fought for in a spirited setting before an en- thusiastic audience which overflowed the big La Plata High School auditorium was decided by an unusual ballot. Miss Hardy received first place with a low- point total of 5 and young Muldowney took second place with a low-point to- tal of 6. Without revealing the indi- vidual ratings the judges accorded the two leading speakers cn the program, the detailed ballot on Miss Hardy was compesed of one first place rating and twq‘ seconds, giving her the low-point +5.” while the detail of Muldowney's baliot was composed of 2 firsts and a 4, giving him his “6.” The three judges were seated apart and no conference was held between | them, in accordance with the rules of the contest. When the ballots of the | first two judges to decide their verdict were received at the conclusion of the | orations, all five speakers were rated in the same order. The final ballot ! to be received, however, carried the “4” | for Muldowney. Cpened by Senator. The meeting at La Plata was opened | Jast night by State Senator Walter J. Mitchell of La Plata, who extended to the vast audience which was repre- sentative of Montgomery, Prince ' Georges, Charles and St. Mary's Coun- tizs, La Plata’s hearty and hospitable ! welccme. Senator Mitchell then intro- duced United States Senator Millard D. ‘Tydings of Maryland, who was to be chairman of the contest meeting. In his introductory of the man who was to preside over the contest, Senator Mitchell expressed his “hearty appro- bation of the spirit of thz newspapers in inaugurating a contest of this sort,” | Which, "he explained, promoted and fostersd understanding of the principles | of the American Constitution. Senator Tydings proved the good-| | natured chairman and after a brief Ppleasantry to his audience, to Senator | Mitchell and to the contestants, he re- | cited the rules under which the orators | were to speak. He cited the time limit |of 10 minutes and urged the audience | to refrain_from applause during any speech. Without further delay he resented as the first orator . Josepi | Muldowney, the Leonard Hall senior, who last year won a sweeping victory | in the Maryland district finals. Muldowney, confronted with the task yof making an initial impression that would last throughout the delivery of | the four speeches which were to follow him, spoke eloguently. | _David Trundle, the Poolesville High + School's courageous entrant, who was | the only student in his school this year to compete following & rather bad beating last year, was the second | speaker. Since his victory in the group ‘meet at Bethesda- three -weeks ago, | Trundle had lost none of the orafory which won for.him there and-he made i & worthy showing in the finals last night. Cusick Oration Shortest. ‘William Cusick, jr., of the Oxon Hill High School followed Trundle to make his forensic bid for the championship. Cusick's oration last night was the shortest on the program. “While all the others went from 81, to exactly 10 minutes, Cusick spoke for only 614 min- utes, but it was a period in which this lad put forth his best effort. Z. Maccubbin Waters, 3d, represent- ing the Charlotte High-School, was the last of the four boy speakers. While he did not place in either of the an- , nounced positions, Waters upheld the standard of oratory that was being de- | livered from the La Plata stage, and in the final ballot he was not far from | the winning low-point totals. Miss Hardv, the only girl on the pro- | gram, was ths final contestant to take the stand. She spoke the full 10 min- | utes and the timekeeper was about to sound the whistle blast which would | have silenced her when she brought | her oration to a pleasing, unhurried ! close. Miss Hardy has much of the oratorical style of Miss Dorothy Carl- | son, the Salt Lake City girl, who was given the decision in the Fourth Na-! | tional Oratorical Contest finals here two years ago. She is faced with an- other difficult hurdle now in the com- | ing Star finals, as that will be her next | | SPECIAL NOTICES. | WILL ANY PERSON PRESENT WHEN motorist struck lady at_15th and H sts. n.e. | Monday evening about 7:20, or knowing any- thing in connection therewith, please com- municate with H.

CRAWFO! 4 O st. n.e. 18 contest appearance, and it will be held one week from today. The La Plata meeting was preceded by an overture executed by the Mc- Kinley High School Orchestra, under direction of Dore Walten, its faculty | leader. The auditorium fairly hummed with conversation when the orchestra began its rendition, but as soon as the youthful players had begun their music complete silence reigned in the hall until the last note had been played. | The orchestra played again while the | judges wrote their ballots and again when it led the audience in “The Star | Spangled Banner.” The supporting I'contingents for the orators on the stage showed their appreciation to the boys and girls of McKinley High School, who had journeyed all the way down into Southern Maryland, by giving them rousing cheers from time to time ‘at the opening of the meeting. Judges of Finals. ‘The judges of the Maryland finals were Representative Albert B. Hall of Indiana, Representative John C, Ketch- am of Michigan and George R. Farnum, Assistant Attorney General of the Unit- ed States. ‘When these men of position had writ- ten their ballots and the results had been totaled, Senator Tydings an- nounced the name of Miss Hardy as that of the champion of the Maryland district. The announcement was greet- ed by shrieks and heavy applause. The name of Muldowney as alternate in- creased the bedlam and thunderous sa- lute to the contestants reverberated in the auditorium for several minutes. ‘Then game the reward. Oliver Owen Kuhn, managing editor of The Star, rose to present this newspaper's check for $100 to the newly proclaimed cham- pion and silence once more reigned. Mr. Kuhn paid tribute not only to the announced winners of the contest, but to each of the five orators who i had fought so hard for victory in th: meet. He declared it gratifying to the sponsors of the contest to witness the ever-mounting high quality of the con- testants’ orations each year. Taking the check which he had just filled in with the name of Mary Eugenia Hardy, he presented it to the smiling girl. Miss Hardy is the daughter of Mrs. Susanna S. Hardy of Siiver Spring.

Both students were suspended from further attendance at classes the | rsday before Easter. The board agreed to allow this mxnflan to stand until some definite action is taken. According to”a report submitted by Alvin W. Miller, principal of Central, Neale has been a member of the fra- ternity since June, 1927, and Cochran since May, 1928. Neale is al to have signed a card stating that he was not a member of any approved organi- zation and also to have persuaded his older brother, who bears t| as his’ father, to sign in place parent. Cochran also signed the card and Mys. Cochran affixed her name, it is charged. Both boys freely admit the truth of the allegations and their own fault, but punishment fl'upued by Dr. Ballou too severe, ithough young Cochran says his mother signed his card, Mrs. Cochran declared that she had no recollection of doing so. “You know, mothers will do many things for their children, however,” she added.

Parents Not to Fight. ‘The parents of the suspended stu- dents said yesterday that they did not intend to fight the action of the Board of Education. Neale has already en- tered classes at Devitt Preparatory School and Mr. Cochran is contemplat- ing sending his son to a military acad- emy outside of Washington. Dr. Ballou made it clear that he was not seeking the expulsion of the boys because of their membership in Pi Phi Fraternity, but for their “deliberate falsification of written statements to the principal of their school.” “There is a definite punishment al- ready provided for membership in un- approved organizations,” he said. “It is the barring of the offenders from extra-curriculum activities. There the board is bound to act in a certain way. But here it is a different matter. We are faced with the deliberate falsifica- tion by thes> boys and the board must act unguided by rules or law.” The Pi Tnity came under the ban of “KALORAMA HEIGHTS A town house of un- usual distinction — con= servatively priced, and one of the soundest values ever offered in this exclusive section.
