Mrs. Parker, as speech chairman, was assisted by Miss Gustafson with both Original and Memorized Oratory; Miss Jondahl with Humorous Interpretation; Mr. Stephani with Manuscript Reading; and Mrs. Gilstad with Discussion and Extemporaneous Speaking. Mrs. Parker had charge of Serious Interpretation and Story Telling. Thirty-four eager speech students enjoyed a trip to International Falls on February 29, to partici- pate in the Kiwanis Invitational Speech Meet.
