MADISON LEADS SCHOOLS
This news feature has found great favor with high school students of Greater New York. Thirteen schools are entered in the race for the News Trophy which will be awarded the school with the greatest number of points at the end of the semester. James Madison High School of Brooklyn heads the list with 195 points. A student of that institution, Achad Sanders, repeated his victory of the second week, when he won five dollars and a silver medal, Sanders’ name headed the group of winners in the third week competition and he was awarded ten dollars and a gold medal.
Fraternity men in colleges are finding this contest very interesting. Not only does it enable them to develop an insight into news developments, but as one Greek-letter man said, "If I win first prize in your very interesting contest, I’ll be able to go to my Christmas hop in New York."
TELL IT TO THE EDITOR
Get into the swing of it. Enter one contest. You’ll find it fascinating to tell the editor what you, think should be the biggest Jewish news of the week. And, what is important, your letter may be worth part of the $100 in cash prizes distributed to the winners.
