Gary III. s. First Appearances.
There were many interesting features
about the contests. 1t was Gary High
Schools first representation in the
more serious work of the contesting
county schools and her representative
Miss Glenn Page acquitted herself most
creditably. Her voice while not strong
was very pleasing and her enunciation
was clear as bell. Gary nad no
chorus to represent her.
There was much surprise expressed
at the result of the defamation con-
test Edwin FREDERICK. Hammond's
splendid representative who was given
second place by the judges. due to the
act that one Judge put him in fifth
place is easily the most finished orator
who ever appeared in like contest
In the Lake County schools. His work
was truly magnificent and his only
fault was in his enunciation which at
times was slurred and hurried but 1T
was due entirely to the fire and feeling
that he put in his impassioned plead
ing.
I,owelrs representative Milford Nc
Nav had the benefit of two years ex-
nerience in oratory and the position of
his body in delivery gestures was his
chief fault.
AhIgren Splendid Orator.
Writings speaker Oscar Ahlgren was
believed by many people to have won
first place The timber of his voice
was pleasing and there was no more
natural speaker than he on the pro-
gram. Words flowed from his lips and
he had an effective head gesture that
stamped him as a born orator Whit
tng's luck last night was not with her
for her chorus was remarkably effective
and was second to Hammond only in
strength in the opinion of a major por-
| ton of the audience.
LlywolIof Johns of East Chicago was
| a strong speaker who grew in form
as he went on, but he was unfortunate
| in a repetition and in little trickeries OF
| enunciation due to his Welsh nativity
that detracted from the effect of his
piece
