who gave a splendid discourse on
woman, the Home Builder" The
judges stated she needed more than
commentator. as the line drawn be-
tween her and the winner was a faint
one.
The stage was a pretty sight with
the five young orators. and the spirit
was made more fascinating by the
High school boys who gave yells for
the orators, members OF the faculty
and school. The first speaker intro
duced by Prof. w. II. Sugg was Ed
ward Mitchell, the winner of the
honor last year. He used "The Silent
Brigade" as his subject. Mr.. Mitchell
took the Kentucky night riders and
discussed their origin as an outcome
of the. tobacco war. He closed with
an appeal TO let every true blue Ken
|tuckian wipe out the blot on the
state.
Miss Allie ID. Foster was the sec
|ond speaker, THE Old South" being
her subject. Miss Foster discussed
the noble sons of the natiop- E.ose
