for the occasion and the selections
were highly appreciated by the audi
ence, especially cornet solo render
ed by John Henderson. A large
crowd was present and showed great
interest in the speeches of the Young

years. The speakers were introduced
in impressive fashion by Mr.. James
Higgins, member of the senior class-
After the last speaker had delivered
his Grafton, the grades of the Judges
were collected and the averages were
made out. The honor of represent
ing the High School at Paducah in the

fell on Mr.. Hanbery, whose subject
was, THE Call OF America Mr.
Hanbery is a member of this wears
senior class and his class Gmates are
proud of him. He delivered ms
speech in forceful and impressive
fashion. He has a very pleasing
voice and his speech is such that n
will hold the attention ofany audience-
The contest will be held on the.
fourth OF May and already prepars-
tlons are being made for large DEL
egation to accompany Mr.. Hanberv to
that city. The High School feels that
Hopkinsville has speaker who can
hold his own with anybody that the
other schools of this section OF the
state can send against him. This yedr
the contest will have a new feature. in
that there will be two contests. one.
for boys and one for girls. The YOUNG

this year is Miss Flora Rawls and
since this is the first year that there
has been chance for one school Tn
