HIGH SCHOOL
NOTES

Editor-in-chief, Ruth Cook, Senior;
Sub-Editors: Louise Allen, Junior;
Richard Baker, Sophomore; Ben
Sheeks, Freshman.
We are in hopes that the Fergus
County High School will make as
good showing at Missoula in the
Rhetorical contest this year as it did
last. Many declare that Fergus de-
served first place last year and we
feel sure that this years represen-
tatives will be given what is due them.
Nearly every High School in the
state is member of the association
and each member is entitled to send
three representatives whose eXpen-
ses are paid by the association. Others
may be sent but their expenses must
be paid in some other way. Last year
We were able to send two extra ath-
letic contsetants Only one declama-
tory contestant may be sent.
There will be three preliminary de
camatory contests given in the AS
sembly Hall of the Fergus County
High School building. One March g
the second March IS. and the third
Apr. 10. The same plan will be fol
lowed this year that was carried out
last year. Any one is eligible to en-
ter the preliminares and to make
them success some must enter who
do not expect to win. 1t is possible
that the very one VINO least expects
to win will be chosen to go to Mis-
soula. And even if speaker at
tempts and fails, no one will blame
him for trying. and at the same time
he will gain valuable practice.
AS before. judges will be appointed
who will mark the speaker on the
scale of one hundred per cent. The
one who receives the highest aver
age, OF course is given first. Last
year the winner was given one hun
dred per cent by one judge. so those
entering now will have to work for
a high grade
The senior Literature class is now
studying Macbeth. They first read
the entire play and are now studying
il more carefully. When they havefin-
ished, a test will be given over the
whole play.
