George Bluestone '47 and Paul I. Sparer '49 won first prizes of $50 and John Hedges '48, Hugh M. Hill '48, and Francis S. MacNutt '46 won second prizes of $25 in the finals of the Boylston Speaking Contest at Paine Hall last night. The contest was judged by novelist Walter D. Edmonds '26, Lewis Perry, former principle of Exeter Academy, and Major-General Sherman Miles, U.S.A. (Ret.).

Bluestone presented a selection from Richard Wright's "Native Son," in which Mr. Max attacks the cruelty of the white race which has forced Thomas into committing a murder. Sparer took excerpts from the Douglas speech in the Lincoln-Douglas Debate from Robert Sherwood's play "Abe Lincoln in Illinois." Lincoln's speech in the debate was given by MacNutt, who followed Sparer on the stage.
