1 t..imL-.Jr-1 1-1-Vx,-:mt-.1 DECLAMATORY One of the principal events of the winter was the fourth annual declamatory contest. This year there were eight who contested for first place in their respective classes. The progressives were as follows: ORATORY Opinions Stronger then Army--- -..--Fahy Replogle. The World's Orator ....................... ---Paul Johnson DRAMATIC Full Measure of Slevotion .--------.------ ----- G enevieve Clhristenson The Lost Word---.. .......... ......-...... I zctta Kelly The Three Things --.- ..........--..-.. .--- O r a Talbolt HUMOROUS Absentmindness of Prisilla ......--------- ---- M argaret Clayton The Bear Story ..-....-.-..---------- ----Darrill Johnson Pleasant Half Hour on the Beach .......-..... -. -.....---.-- Muriel Tolbolt Paul delivered his selection, which portrayed Christ as the worlds orator very admirably but Fahy was awarded first place in this class. A Full Measure of Devotion which depicted the deep love of parents for their son who would never return from the battlefield of France, was very well rendered by Genevieve. Ofra credibly portrayed, The T'hree Things , which were: Class pride prejudice, and utter unbelief in God and Christianity, that during his experiences in France the the American soldier found to be a detriment to his character. Tzetta was awarded first honor in the dramatic class for the splendid rendiction of 'K'l'he Last Word , Hermns had given up the name of God for wealth and honor and had lost it when he needed it most to save the life of his son. In the humorous class Margaret Clayton 1-elated how Priscilla stirred her wed- ding cake with a stove lifter and approached the alter, wearing red bedroom slippers and carrying a bar of every soap in place of her boquet. Muriel Talbot gave the audi- ence an idea of the worries of the distracted motheifs caring for her family at the sea shore. Slarrill Took the Cakel' with his splendid impersonation of the little boy who went to hunt bears, he did . Mrs. Blanche R. Warren of Sioux City judged the contest and the winners re- presented Akron in the Pre-sub-district contest. This was also held in Akron being rc- presented by a group of enthusiasts, who accompanied their contestants heir. Trenton carried away the honor in oratory, Hawarden in dramatic and Dari-ill the honors for Akron by winning in humorous. He represented Akron at tahe sub-district contest at Rock Valley in which nine towns competed for honors but lost to thosc from larger towns. We are glad to see that so many of our High School students realize the value of the Declamatory training in public speaking and hopes they will continue the work their work in their remaining years in high school as well as after leaving High School.
