Shirley Hanson, a senior, was the extemporaneous speaker. After winning the district contest with an excellent rating, she traveled to Bagley for the regional contest, where she also received an excellent rating. Barbara Jacobs, a senior, also advanced to the regional contest after winning the district with her humorous reading, Arsenic and Old Lace. Donna Young, a junior, made a good showing at the district contest by receiving an excellent rating on her dramatic interpretation of Patterns, Carol Settevig, a sophomore, added points to the winner's total by doing a splendid job in manuscript reading, for which she received an excellent rating. Patsy Mclsaac did a fine job discussing the problems of Russia with other contestants in this division. The discussion group is a new division in speech contests and will be continued in future years, Another new division in Minnesota speech contests was the District Play Contest, held a few weeks previous to the speech contest. The cast of Goodnight Caroline, which took third place in the district, included Barbara Jacobs, Jack Carney, Melvin Tabert, and Dorothy Harney. Joe Massee, a junior, competed in original oratory, another junior, Jack Carney, entered the memorized oratory section. These boys advanced from the district to the regional contest, where they both received ratings of superior. Our school feels very proud of these boys for doing such praiseworthy work. These goals attained by our high school students could not have materialized had it not been for the excellent direction of Mrs. Margaret Dunnigan. .63.
