Hillmorton girl wins contest
A seventh-form Hillmorton High School girl, Julie Eyles, has been awarded a joint first prize in Radio New Zealand’s short story competition for secondaryschool pupils. Her story, “No Broken Bones,” was first equal with a Dunedin pupil’s entry. The theme this year was the disturbed child.
A playwright, Roger Hall, did this year’s final judging from 200 entries. He said that Miss Eyles’s selection of incidents was faultless, in a story showing the misery of a child whose parents had been killed. Mr Hall said it was the best constructed of all the entries, with powerful imagery and no wasted dialogue. Both first-place winners will have their stories recorded for National Programme broadcasts.
