The news did not come directly to Ella herself __51__ her
indirectly in hints that she had won the prize. But as she was a calm,
quiet girl, she __52__ without __53__, __54__ the whole school was
full of rumors and statements from students who had no right to be
__55__ at all because __56__ really knew __57__ what result of this
year’s art competition was.
But Ella was __58__ good artist, her lines so sure that __59__ student
in the art class was expected to win. But you never __60__. Last year

until you looked at the picture for a long time. Still, Frank had got the prize
and the President of the Board of Governors had presented __64__ at a
big dinner in the Ritz Hotel.
Ella was a rather shy girl but her classmates seldom thought of her
__65__ shy. She was pretty and intelligent and __66__ very well with
everyone. She played games well, had taken part in the school play, and
never seemed to __67__, except in pleasant ways. She liked her school.
She was very fond of her art teacher, Miss Drake, __68__ was natural.

her students-not __70__ but theirs. __71__ best, __72__, was not good
enough to please Miss Drake. So Ella was __73__ the prize, not just for
herself and her parents but because she had heard Miss Drake __74__
that it was the __75__ seen from one of her students.
