Enthusiasm for the Friend's Annual Writing and Illustrating Contest was expressed again this - the Fifth - year by Hermosa Beach students and their teachers. Several classes participated en masse.
There were four contest categories: poetry, writing, illustration, illustrated writing. Each category had three grade divisions: kindergarten through 2nd grade; 3rd grade through 6th grade; 7th grade through 8th grade. It was intended that each grade division have a first place and a second place winner in each category.
Mrs. Marilyn Pollock and Mrs. Joan Shaw, co-chairmen of the contest, report that illustrated writing was most popular; so great was the response, extra prize ribbons were awarded in all three grade divisions. The other categories received a fair amount of entries. No winners were found for poetry's kindergarten through 2nd grade division, writing's kindergarten through 2nd grade and junior high grade divisions, and illustration's junior high grade division, because there were no entrants interested in them.
Judges were the classes of Mr. John Jancar (Art) and Mrs. Geraldine Wadhams (English) of Mira Costa High School, thanks to Mrs. Ruth Treadgold who contacted the two teachers. The judges were enthusiastically responsive, to the illustration category, awarding their own ribbons and allowing for third place winners.
Each of the eight students who placed first in the contest was awarded a book or magazine subscription of his or her choice, within monetary reason, of course, and a blue ribbon. They were: Julia Girard (6th grade, Our Lady of Guadalupe) and Sue Prichard (7th grade, Pier Avenue) - poetry; Vincent Ray (6th grade, North School) - writing; Becky Weatherington (kindergarten, South School) and Jamie Leonard (6th grade, Our Lady of Guadalupe) - illustration; Larry Randall (2nd grade, Valley Vista), Rex Keeler (3rd grade, South School), and Tracy Talbert (7th grade, Pier Avenue) - illustrated writing.
All winning entries were displayed in the library during May.
