Three second prizes of $25 each were awarded to Michael Ehrhardt '66, who presented "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot, to Cheng-Teik Goh '65, who recited "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats, and to Andreas W. Teuber '64, who delivered Glouster's speech from Act III of Henry VI, Part III by William Shakespeare.

The contest was judged by the Hon. Charles S. Bolster, the Rt. Rev. John Melville Burgess and Mrs. John A. Sullivan.
