Normal UratOfiCal Contest.

The annual oratorical contest oil
the Normal School was held Friday
evening before large body of stu
dents and friends. The Senior and
Junior classes embraced the oppor.
tunity offered by a generous display
of class colors and a rousing chorus
of class yells and songs.
The FIVE contestants of the eve
ming were Paul Spencer, Ellen Pet
erson, John O'Keefe, Sophy Shultes
and Cora Bulman. All handled
their subjects with excellent ability
and showed that they had worked
hard and faithfully in their produc-
ton. The judges after a short de-
liberation awarded first place to
John O'Keefe, and he will represent
the River Falls Normal at the state
contest of Normal Schools at Super
ior next month. Second place was
given to Paul Spencer and the third
position to Cora Bulman.
The musical part of the program
was exceptionally we'll rendered.
The Normal orchestra played three
we'll chosen pieces and the Euterpe
Club sang a couple Of selections
which called forth an abundance of
praise. Both organizations reflect
great credit on their leader and be-
speak diligence on the part of the
members.
Prof. Wright and Miss Jones sang
duet which was very we'll received
and warmly encored. Without
doubt this contest is the best that
has been held and the quality and
variety of the entertainment offered
should beget in the people of River
Falls a pride in their Normal School
and a desire to further its good
work in every possible way. Why
not attend the Normal Concert,
March 9th? You will be we'll repaid
with another evening of fine enter
tainment.
