with them the Western Slope Ath-
letic Cup that Gunnison won last
year, and they wanted to bring it
back.
The fight started on Saturday fore
noon with the preliminaries. The
change in altitude and temperature
seemed to be fatal to the Gunnison
men, for even oar Mercury" Will
liams failed to break the tape. On
account of the large representation,
preliminaries were scheduled in all
events, with the exception of the 220;
44O, $50 yd. dashes, and the mile run.
The end of the preliminaries found

Normal-High Notes
NINE RAHs FOR auMNIsoN
contsst.nt. srias Back Rhetorical

Deep was our disappointment, and
long were our faces when we went to
the train Sunday evening to meet
our people Who had gone to Montrose
to attend the Observation-Disclosures
Meet, for we had heard that Gunni-
son had not even placed in the finals,
but great was our surprise when thru
the crowds from the train, we saw
one silver trophy cup being held high.
Our attitude and the look on our
faces soon changed when we learned
that Gunnison had won the Rhetor-
ical Cup
On Wednesday morning Miss Bor-
land and six of the students left for
Montrose. That night George East
man spoke in Argument. lie defended
the negative side of Government
Ownership of Railroads. Mr.. East
man has fine voice, and he held the
complete attention of his audience.
His discussion showed careful study
and deep thinking on his part. He
was given third place in the contest.
George deserves credit for the show
ing which he made as this was his
first appearance as contestant.
On the next day the entire High
School accompanied Miss Firebaugh,
Miss Lamar, Mr.. Goldsmith, the rest
of the contestants, and all the track
men to the train. With Gunnison
High School colors and pennants fly
ing in the breeze and a huge banner
on the side of the coach, mid shouts
and yells and cheering, the bunch"
departed for Montrose.
That morning Hugh Palmer APP
peared in Original Grafton with
"Clemenceau, the Tiger of France" as
his subject. His splendid voice and
his pleasing personality, along with
the exceptionally fine work on his
grafton, placed him first among all
the contestants.
In the afternoon Esther Williams
represented Gunnison in Oratorical
Defamation. This was Esther's first
attempt at anything of this sort,
and everyone was delighted with her
ability. her voice, and her stage pres
ence. The subject of her Grafton was,
"The American Soldier" She tied
with Delta for first, but in going
back to the grades, she was given
second place.
That night Leah Hartman appeared
in Dramatic Reading. Her subject
was "The Stars and Stripes in Elan
ders." Miss Hartman gave this story
of the late war with great dramatic
directness and force. She was es-
pecially good. The judges placed her
third in the contest.
On Saturday night Esther AFTER
berry in the Humorous Defamation
gave cat the Movies" Miss AFTER
berry was as much at ease as she
always is in this type of reading, and
there was no doubt whatever in the
minds of the judges as to whom
should have first place. We are very
proud of Esther for her splendid
showing.
These five speakers won for Gunni-
son forty-two points. the largest
number of any of the schools en-
tered, Montrose placing second, and
Grand Junction third. This is the
second year Gunnison High School
has held the Rhetorical Cup, but we
know that if the school shows as
much fine spirit next year as it has
shown this year, the cup will be ours
to keep. This result shows that much
effort has been put forth, and the en-
tire High School student body wishes
to express its appreciation to those
teachers who helped to make the con-
test success.

The Congregational choir believes
strongly in Henry van Dykes opinion
on Keeping Christmas He says,
IF you can keep Christmas for one
day why not for alvays?" So with
that fact in view, as well as numer-
ocs requests, the choir under the
direction Of their leader, Miss
knorpp, presented again Sunday
evening the cantata, THE Bright and
Morning Star" II was admirably
given, the solo parts being especially
line. Mr.. Colthrope was in supberb
voice, singing as he always does,
his solo, most escellently. The choir
as a whole did splendid work. Es-
pecially fine was bethlehem Eph-
rata" one of their numbers, with a
soprano obligato and their most bril-
liant work was rendered in the seiec-
ton. And II Came To Pass" The
ladies' trio, with the contralto solo, by
Mrs. Brown WAS most beautifully
given. The climax of the production
was reached when the tenors and
basses told Of the journey Of the
wise men from the East coming TO
worship presenting their gold, frank
incense and myrrah. Miss Ethel
Sabin was splendid at the piano, ac-
companying every part wonderfully,
expressing the thoughts and feeling
most beautifully. The choir is indeed
TO be complimented on it's splendid
work and much credit should be given
tAem In making the second rendition
of the cantata so successful.
