Show j Helen Lavcl! and I Helen Heinz Victorious i Montana Young Lady Carries off the Honors at the Famous 1 Old Georgetown Convent, With Her Colorado Friend ! Second Great Distinction for the Intermountain States, of Which the Brilliant Young Graduates Are Natives. (Special Dispatch to Tho Intermountain Catholic.) Washington, D. C, June 14. The closing exercises of the Convent Visi- tation-the one hundred and first year-took place today, the Intermountain States winning the distinguished honors, with an attendance of 150 pupils from all the states of the Union. Montana and Colorado, in a class of seventeen graduates, and represented by Miss Helen Lavell of Butte, Mont., and Miss Helen Heinz of Denver, Colo., took first honors. Miss Lavell was awarded the medals for higher mathematics and intellectual intel-lectual philosophy; Miss Heinz for science and belle lettres. Other medals were awarded for both first honors and for class deportment and graduating medals. Each of the young ladies also received five premiums. It has been a battle royal between these two Helens as to which should carry off first honors, as the result shows Colorado and Montana so closely matched that there is hardly any perceptible difference, but in class parlance on the studies awarded, Miss Lavell has a very slight shade the advantage. The young ladies have been the closest friends, and in this whole year's hot contest not the slightest rancorous feeling has been felt by either. The Intermountain States are to be congratulated upon the intellectuality intellectual-ity that brings this distinguished honor. All hail Helen Heinz. All hail Helen Lavell. Both are natives of the states they have distinguished. The mother of Miss Helen Heinz graduated from this same school. (It may be mantioned in this connection that Miss Lavell Ia the eldest daughter of Geoffrey Lavell of Butte, Mont., and a niece of A. II. Tarbet of Salt Lake. Ed. Intermountain Catholic.) i |
