14 WlW l THE GREENBURGH LEAGUE SPEAKING CONTEST The Second Annual Greenburgh League Interscholastic speaking contest was held in our new auditorium, Friday, March 25. The doors opened at 7:45 and supporters of the various schools poured into the sections assigned to them. Ardsley, as was expected, had the largest group of supporters, although Irvington. Dobbs Ferry, Grecnburgh, and Hastngs were well represented. I The Ardsley High School Orchestra showed their musical ability by render- ing some very delightful selections. Nr. Daniels conducted them, and they were assisted by the 'tBellemorians. Before the opening of the contest, it was explained that in previous years debating contests had been held. These proved unsuccessful, and the schools of the league therefore decided to have a formal speaking contest. The first one in 1926 having proven so successful, it has now become an annual event. Each winner received a silver cup on which his name was engraved, and this was given to the school he represented. The three judges were Miss Heed of Pleasantville, Mr. XVillia1ns of Harts- dale, and Mr. Benedict of North Tarrytown. The audience was very much surprised at the great display of talent shown by the speakers. The winning smiles of our girl contestant, Marjorie Longmuir, won her great applause. She delivered Hellgate of Soissons with a fervor that stirred her audience. Millard Midonick gave The Ballad of Splendid Silence with the talent only he can show. However, owing to the unique selections of the winners, Ardsley had to be content with two close second places. The winners were Dwight Holbert of Hastings, who gave a throbbing jungle poem, which described three phases of Congo and Helen Carlson from Greenburgh, who attracted attention by her dramatic ability in telling one of Poe's tales. W'hile the judges were deliberating, the Belmo1'ians', gave a few selections which helped to relieve the suspense. - Ardsley High School has, perhaps, the best outlook for winning first places next year. No doubt, the two speakers, Marjorie Longmuir and Millard Midonick will again try for the contest. If so, they have a very good opportunity to prac- tice in our new high school auditorium. They also 'have the beneht of being under the excellent supervision of Miss Elinor Buell, head of the English De- partment. The school greatly appreciated the efforts of all the pupils who tried for this contest although they were not fortunate enough to represent us. Ardsley will bring home the cups next year!
