ems Point journal gives the following
account of the contest
In the declamatory contest there
were four contestants, two each from
Wausau and Marshiield. Steven:
Point did not take part The nun
bers, in the order in which they came
were as follows:
MADAME Butterfly Miss Jose.
phine Sturtevant, Wausau.
"Burgundian Defiance" Miss Mar
ian Friede, WauSau.
Cutting from 'TAe Lane That Had
| No Turning Miss Leah Leamley,
Marshfeld.
"The Beauty Doctor Miss Bonita
Berg, Marshield.
Only first and second places were
announced, Miss Friede taking first
and Miss StnrteYant second. The
Judges were Miss Parkhurst, Pro-
fessor Ames and Professor Phelan OF
the Normal. Their decision was the
only just one that could possibly have
| been given and was received With en-
tire satisfaction. n
In the oratorical contest six youIo
men battled for honors, Wausau,
Marshtield and Stevens Point, each
having two representatives These,
with the subject of each and The or
der in which they were delivered,
were as follows:

Wausau
"The Righteousness of Revolt
Ed. Walterbach, Marshfield.
ga Plea For Cuba"-Paul Tobey,
Wausau.
"The New south"-R. Pankow,
Marshfield.
| The judges of this contest were
Superintendent Callahan of Mcnasha,
| Miss Melcher of the Waupaca High
school and Professor Ames of the
Normal Their decision gave first
place to Paul Tobey and second to
Albert Mohr. Although there was
little or no doubt in the minds
of the unprecedented that the Wausau
representatives were justly entitled
| to the awards, it was a difficult mat
| ter to decide as to whether Tobey or
Mohr should be given the higher
ranking. However, as both are en-
titled TO compete in the district coli
| test to be held in Wausau in the Z II
| future, they viii have the opportun-
ity of proving whether or not the
decision in the league contest was
just. Miss Friede and Miss Sturte-
want will also be entered in the dis
trict contest. The winners of first
| places in oratory and defamation at
| Wausau will be the representatives of
this district in the state contest,
which will be held at Madison.
Miss Ruedebusch, a teacher in the
high school, was taken ill with what
was supposed to be tonsilitis on
Thursday. The trouble later deyel-
| oped into diphtheria and on Sunday
she was taken TO the county hospital
for treatment.
Report cards were given out last
Tuesday to the scholars Of the high
school. Only five more weeks of the
| second semester of the school year
remains and now serious work has be-
gun for the finish. The PILOT re-
porter hopes that all will be fast
enough TO pass under the wire neck
and neck.
