Contest History

Whatever happens at the state
contests, River Falls high has rea
son to be proud of its record in de.
clamatory and oratorical work.
The first work of the kind was
done in 1900, when, at the league
contest Hudson won first place and
| River Falls second. AS there were
no other leagues in the district that
year, the league contest was also
the district contest. In 1901 Hud.
son again won first place in the
league, River Falls second. In 1902
Hudson won both first and second
places in the league, River Falls
being content with fourth. In 1908
Hammond was first, River Falls
second. 1904 saw the contest di-
vided into two parts for the first
time, Prescott winning first in the
girls contest and Hudson in the
boys. River Falls drew third and
second. In 1905 River Falls was
first in the girls, Hudson first in
the boys contest. In 1906 River
Falls won both contests. In 1907
Spring Valley won first in the girls
contest and River Falls first in the
boys. In 1908 River Falls was
first in the girls contest, Glenwood
in the boys. Last year New Rich
mond won both contests. This
year River Falls was second in the
girls contest, Hudson being first,
while the local school won the boys
contest, New Richmond. being Sec
ond. Since the first contest, which
was both league and district, there
have been ten years of work, dur
ing which % have represented the
league in the district. Of those %
speakers, River Falls has furnished
10, Hudson 5, New Richmond and
Hammond, Prescott, Glenwood and
Spring Valley one each.
Counting the first contest, there
have been eleven years of district
contest work. In 1900, 1908 and
1904 one speaker was sent from the
district to the state contest. In
1901 and 1902 two speakers were
sent. From 1905 to the present
nineteen speakers have represented
the district in state contests, and of
these River Falls has furnished g.,
Eau Claire 4, Hudson 8, Barron and
Chippewa Falls each two, and
Bloomer and Galesville each one.
In 1901, 1908, 1907, 1908 and 1910
River Falls won district contests
winning six of the ten district
contests in which it has been rep
resented.

Reception for Pastor

Last Sunday afternoon after the
regular services, the members and
friends of the Swedish Lutheran
church of Mann Valley assembled
at the beautiful home of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. H. Younggren, to tender
their beloved pastor token of their
appreciation and esteem,
This token took the form of a
purse of forty-five dollars and was
presented with a few appropriate
words by Mr.. John Weberg Pastor
Rendahl's acknowledgment and
thanks were made in his always
happy way, and after the refresh
ments, gave great enjoyment by his
songs, Prof. Albert Johnson play
ing his accomplishments.
Rev. Mr. Reno ahl has endeared
himself to all by his sermons, earn
est, thoughtful and thrught-pro-
ducing, and by his singing, done
in that joyous, nearly way that cap
tivates, His strong and friendly
hand clasp, his kindly and pleasant
smile have won for him a host of
friends and it is to be hoped that
the church will be able and forum
ate enough TO retain him for years
to come.
Rev. Mr.. Rendahl has wife and
three beautiful children, who, in the
short time they have been here,
have found a warm place in the
hearts of the people.
Much of the success of this de-
lightful occasion was due to the un-
firing efforts Of Prof Albert John
son and to the kindly hospitality of
! Mr., and Mrs. Younggren.

When the stone and cement cross
ings which are to be laid this sum-
mer are completed the Observer
man will then be able, no doubt, to
praise the city unreservedly. We
will reproduce a few of the choice
blossoms found in the Observer
bouquet:
There are about River Falls
many items of interest besides the
substantial look of it's main bust
ness street. One might walk an
hour or more through the residence
district and be charmed all of the
time with the prosperous, tasty ap-
pearance of the homes"
For certainty, down town
River Falls has solid and interest
ing commercial appearance. 1t
looks just as if something must be
doing there every week day, and on
Saturday things must be lively
enough. On the whole we like the
look of things. Few Wisconsin
cities of the size have so substantial
a look"
THE RIVER FALLS CONTESTANTS
Mora LINER, River Falls, made
a mastery effort and won thereby.
From the opening word of her dec
lamation, delivered as it was with
an easy dignity worthy of a sea-
soned actress, to her final bow, her
voice, ease, enunciation and the
fire in her eye made her an almost
invincible competitor. The young
lady was at all times at herself"
Never for a moment did she lose
the perfect command of her delivery,
nor of her auditors.
For the boys, first place was
given to Jay Truesdell, also of River
Falls, who was an easy winner with
the judges.
River Falls took both events, and
there are few to dispute their SUI
premacy."
