Proceedings in the French speaking contest for the medal offered annually by the Comite France-Amerique of Paris, were called to a sudden halt last night in Sever Hall when an over-energetic janitor followed out his duties to the letter of the law, and turned out the lights and locked up a 9 o'clock sharp, without looking to see if the building was empty.
The judges, the contestants, and the audience were forced to grope their way in the dark from the top floor of the building only to find the door locked. After much prying and pushing the door still remained firm and as the janitor was not to be found the group had to use a window as an exit.
The mishap did not occur until after M. S. Huberman '25 had been declared winner, while L. P. Beverage '25 and R. L. Kilgour '25 received honorable mention. Professor R. L. Hawkins, Professor L. J. A. Mercier, and Mr. E. L. Raiche acted as judges of the speeches.
