HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The fourteenth state Oratorical con-
test went to Superior with Wausau a
very close second. Brodhead took third.
Anthem, Wausau'S orator, was very
near first place, being only one point
behind the speaker from Superior.
Anthem was last on the program and
had the disadvantage of speaking to
the audience when it was tired out
and restless. On account of this he
was not able to hold his audience as
well as some of the other speakers
and one of the judges marked him
lower than he otherwise would have
The contest was held at Eau Claire
on Friday evening. The following is
the program:

lard, Amigo.

1t may be seen by this that Anthem
got second by only one point. One
point more would have made his
markings tie with those of the Super
ior speaker but he would have been
given first as his percentage markings
were better of the two.

| day afternoon which was won by the
Humboldt school who had total OF
| forty-six points. The Lincoln school
| captured second place with thirty-fouI
