Not Hmong C'laAAeA. EXTEMPORANEOUS This event always brings out the latent talent of the student body to indulge in their favorite pastime, shooting the breeze. This year was no exception. Detoy won handily, but he had a head start-bigger lungs. Mitchum, a junior, and Sophomore Gil Smith came along in that order.

DECLAMATION Again the Seniors triumphed with Beckwith reciting Shelley's Skylark with bird-like grace. Markham and the Call of the Yukon came in sec- ond. while W'inter's remarks about atoms gave the Frosh third place. ESSAY The essay contest saw an upset o f the favorites and a complete triumph o f the dark horses. Van Every won first place in the judges' ajections with his splendid treatment of the contest theme, Reconstruction McLain and W' inter came in second and third in close order to squeeze out the juniors and Seniors. BASKETBALL Basketball went to the juniors, who had an easy time disposing of the Seniors, Sophs, and Frosh. The contest is still going on, but at this time the standings are like this: Seniors, 501 Sophs, 44,' juniors, 34,' Frosh, 10,
