The Bardal Cup
Many years ago Mr. A. S. Bardal, a prominent Icelandic
business man in Winnipeg and a member of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Jon Bjarnason Academy, donated a large silver cup
to the school. In accordance with the washes of the donor and
regulations with respect to its use passed hy the Board, names
of students have been engraved on it from year to year. That
student wrho has the highest average in each grade in the school
examinations at Christmas and Easter each year, has his or
her name inscribed on the cup, provided his attitude to school
life and studies has been satisfactory. Sometimes two students
lead the class so that there is almost no difference between their
marks. In that case both names go on the cup. The record of
such students is complete from the beginning year, 1913-14.
The cup has encouraged good work among the students.
They have always considered it a great honor to have their
names distinguished in this way. At the Graduation Exercises
the winning students have always been presented to the aud-
ience.
