Formerly she had been an honor student at this institution, with Miss Mildred BROWNELL as instructor. Later she studied at Thiel College in Greenville, Pa., under Prof. Stanley SEIPLE.

Grace MURRAY received the first prize in 1924 in a music memory contest in Greenville, Pa., and won first prize this year in a hymnal music contest, held in Hickory, N. C., being awarded a medal by the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music. A bright future in the world of music is predicted for Miss MURRAY who, with her mother, will reside at 15 Greenwood street. **** SAY CAPTAIN OF RUM SHIP MAY BE DEAD Federal authorities and State Troopers were still searching today for the missing captain of the rum boat by State Troopers and deputies yesterday morning at Point Breeze on Lake Ontario.
