The League of Nations Contest 1930 marked the year of the Fifth National Competitive Examination on the League of Nations for High Schools. The contest is sponsored by the League of Nations itself in order to give instruction to the youth of all nations, that they may ultimately realize that international cooperation should be the normal method of conducting world affairs. The nineteenth century, ushered in in Europe, as it was by prolonged and bloody conflicts, brought the gradual dawn of a widespread desire to put an end to war, and some tentative efforts to prevent it. Men and women, rich and poor, were beginning to feel that war was abominable and an unnecessary catastrophe. Toward the end of the century, an organized system of arbitration had been outlined in the Hague Conference of 1899 and 1907. But progress was too slow to thwart the disaster of 1914; this struggle overwhelmed all alike. For four years nations which claimed to be the most civilized on this earth massacred one another. In the agony of the battle, men in the firing line dreamed of a healing and lasting peace which might crown their sufferings. In America, England. France, Germany—everywhere, associations were formed to prevent the return of war. At last Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, formulated the outline of the League of Nations, which, once signed, was to inaugurate a new international era and guard against fresh catastrophe. It was with the idea in mind that the youth of today should understand the steps being taken in the advancement of international cooperation that our High School thus adopted for the first time the study of the League of Nations. The class, made up of Seniors, consisted of Dorothy Hilliard. Julia Sayer. Dorothy Wood, Ruth Dickinson, Jane Anderson, Clayton Enterline, and James Marsh. Under the capable direction of Miss Reicherter. the group completed the study of the text book which prepared them for the examination given on March 20th. Miss Reicherter. Mr. Biery, and Mr. Ewing formed the committee to select the paper to be sent in for the county contest. The Federated Clubs of the county had charge of judging the papers sent in from various schools. Seven high schools from Jefferson County entered the contest, each school sending in the two best papers presented. It was with much pride that we learned that Clayton Enterline, representing Brook-ville High School, received first place in the county, and our other entrant, Jane Anderson. was accorded honorable mention. Everyone in the class feels much repaid for having completed the course, which broadened their knowledge of the League of Nations.
