Thereupon, the teacher put him in a class by himself all year long. As a result, he landed in 3rd grade the next year. Participated in declamatory contests, where he won gold medals. It was reported in the Moro Observer that Harold was adjudged highest point winner over all contestants with his rendition of "How Daniel Beecher Spoke".

High Place Won By Moro Student
Harold Bryant, O.S.C. Graduate, Selected For Eastern Job
Moro is represented by one of the 534 graduates of the class of 1929 completing work for degrees at the sixtieth Oregon State College annual commencement June 3. Of the total number being graduated 489 will receive the bachelor of science degree, 23 the master of science degree, and 23 the degree of pharmaceutical chemist.
Men outnumber women in the graduating class 336 to 198, though the latter are scattered among seven or the 10 degree granting schools of the college. To get the bachelor of science degree at O.S.C. students must not only complete four years of studies but must maintain an average grade of 80 or above. The result is that those in the graduating class are only those who have survived a four-year "weeding out" process that has eliminated the less determined students.
An engineering course was chosen by Harold Bryant when he enrolled, and he is now one of 116 graduates in his class. This school trains men in civil, electrical, mechanical, engineering and industrial arts, Mr. Bryant choosing the electrical engineering department. His training has led directly to the various fields of public work involved in the future development of the country, especially the Pacific northwest. The curriculum he followed was developed according to the standards of the national engineering societies, the first two years of which are devoted to basic courses and the last two to more specialized applications. Many graduates this year were selected for advanced work and training with some of the leading corporations of the east.
Mr. Bryant was selected by the Westinghouse Electric Co. and will report this year to the company at Pittsburgh for further study and practical work, under a salary allowance to be paid by the electric company.
In addition to the regular class work, Mr. Bryant has taken an active part in campus affairs, belonging to Eta Kappa Nu, national honor fraternity in electrical engineering, the greater Oregon state committee and the associated engineers as well as the American Institute of electrical engineers. He served as rook basketball manager in his freshman year. Bryant is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, national social fraternity.
