Voice - Lois Whitney Hamilton Memorial Trophy

Donated By: Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Miller & James, Stratford
First Presented: 1958
Criteria: Best or Most Promising Vocalist - Intermediate Level

As a youngster, Lois participated as a competitor in the 1938 Festival in the Girls' Solo (under 11) class. She continued to compete until 1945 when she entered the vocal solo and the soprano solo classes.

Lois Whitney Hamilton later served as a Secretary to Festival adjudicators for a number of years. As an adjudicator's secretary, Lois would act as his/her assistant, giving them their timetable, ensuring that they had copies of the music, writing up the certificates after the adjudication and assisting the adjudicator with the prize presentations.

The Miller family presented this trophy in her memory after her tragic drowning during the summer of 1957.
