Boys 0ratOrical Contest
Friday evening a very close and
well given oratorical contest was held
to determine the two best speakers to
represent the school in the league con-
test to be held some time in May.
The orations were all very well given
and because of the fact that there were
only two seniors on the program there
will be some splendid material for
next year. The last speaker on the
program, Roger Wilterding was award
ed first place. His Grafton, 1.-THE World
Must Be Safe for Democracy" was
delivered in polished manner using
The right gestures at the right time,
which appealed greatly to his audi
ence. President Wilson's Flag Day
Address" was awarded second hOnors.
This was given by a Freshman, Leon
Liljeqvist, who said every word as
though he meant it and his poise to-
gether with the appropriate gestures
were excellent. The third place was
tie between Stewart Manson, who
delivered president Wilson'S Address
at Brooklyn Yards" and Edmund Wet
eel, who used as his grafton, "a Stir
ring Appeal" The first was given in
finished manner and the speakers
splendid stage appearance was espec-
tally noticeable. The second a dra-
matte selection, was given as though
the appeal were the speakers rather
than Some one elSeS. This was given
in very dramatic and forceful man
ner. 1.-THE French Soldier of 1917
| was given by Elmer Giessel in a very
sincere and pleasing manner. A selec-
| ton in which a strong appeal was
| made for league of nations, 1.-THE
| Challenge to Militarism," was given by
Walter Graunke, who possesses a very
strong voice and therefore was able to
| deliver the Grafton in the forceful
| manner which it demanded George
Kenney presented his Grafton, LEST
We Forget" in a manner which ap-
pealed to his hearers for he was able
! to deliver it in a very touching man
ner which not all speakers are able
| to do.
