So do we. , We think it is the best name suggested by the eight-year-old contestants and Cousin ‘Theodore is tovyhave the award for inventing it. So is Cousin Samuel Boris, aged nine, to be awarded for his title “Animal Rhymes of the Kiddie Klub.” Then there is Cousin Margaret Griffin, the ten year-old prize winner, who suggests “Animals, Thelr Tricks and Habits,” and next come “Animal Anecdotes” and “Ani- malaries” by John Zicarelli and Lil- Nan Beyer, both eleven years old, and both award winners. “Animalaries” is the only truly original title among all the answers received from the contestants. Because jt isgalmost impossible to decide which is’ the better, there are two awards to be given in the twelve- year-old class aiso. Louis Heller's title is “Daily Happenings Among the and that of Carleton erry Animal Rhymes.” ‘The jast two Cousins on the list of award winners of the April contest are Anna Hay, whose title “The World and Its Animals” tells very well whft you wiil find the jingles to be about, while “The Land of Frolic” by Jennie Salvesen is more descrip- tive of their spirit. Cousin Anna is thirteen years old, and Cousin Jennie is one year older. All of the nine prize winners de- serve congratulations and praiss This contest was by far the mot dificult one. the Klub has ever had, and surely you will agree with me when I say that they did very well indeed, So too did the honorable mention wigners whose names fol- low: Eight-year class: Ralph Pastine and Margaret Flood.
