day evening at the high school, was won
by Conrad Anthem, Sam Wells took sec
ond place and Wylie Sampson third.
The three point winners are Seniors,
putting the upper class far ahead in
| oratory.
The first speaker of the evening was
Coney Piper and his Grafton on '~Lin-
coin, ,.lan Called Of Cod was well
| delivered
Wylie Sampson was the second on
the program He gave Webster's
! speech on ''Crime its Own Detectorn
and proved himself an able orator.
The only freshman representative in
the contest, Harold Deutsch was next
and he did honor to his class in the
way he rendered Patrick Henry speech
on Americas Duty to Resist"
The fourth Grafton, delivered by Sam
Wells, on the Race Problem in the
South" was well worth the place given
it by the judges as both the gestures
and articulation were splendid
Conrad Anthem, speaking on tIago''
was given first place by nearly all the
| judges. He excelled in the ease and
| naturalness in which he made his
gestures. Anthem will represent the
school in the district contest and with
a little more preparation ought TO
make the state contest.
"The Rider of the Black Horse was
the title of the next Grafton given by
Milton Sitter. He gave his Grafton
well but his lack of experience was a
handicap TO him.

der and the independence of Cuba,
was the title of his selection He was
| given fourth place by the judges. Next
year Schneider ought to be one of

boys for the contest deserves a good
deal of credit for the able manner in
which the boys delivered their orations.
