May. 1925 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 21 EXTEMPORANEOUS CONTESTS I,ast year Chinook High School tried something new. We realized the value of extemporaneous work, so for the first time we entered students in the extemporaneous speaking and writing contests. A preliminary speaking contest under the direction of Miss Anderson was held here on February 15th, to choose the two best speakers to go to the district contest at Havre. Those taking part in the program were: Daisy Acher. Goldie Bloomer. Vera Murphy. Leonard Harlen. Willis Fredlund. Jesse Brooks. Donald Blackstone and Greta Rands. From this group Vera Murphy and Donald Blackstone were chosen to represent us at Havre. At the district meet. Vera Murphy placed second and went to the State Contest at Bozeman. A preliminary writing contest was also held at the school house and the best essay was sent to Bozeman. Of our contestants. Vernon Fredlund placed first In high school and went to Bozeman as one of the picked nine contestants in the state. This year we again entered the contest. However, only a speaking contest was conducted this year. Try-outs were given In the various English classes, and a prelimin-prv was held at Griffin's hall. February 17. Those taking part this year were Goldie Bloomer. Donald Blackstone. Leonard Harlen, Loretta Maney. Francis Easbey, Juanita Harbolt. Vera Murphy and Greta Sands. Francis Easbey placed first. Donald Blackstone second and Vera Murphy third. Francis went to Great Falls to represent C. H. S. at the district meet, and placed third there. The contestants are given only a short time to prepare their talks and the success ot their speeches depends largely upon their ability to organize their thoughts and arrange their material in a limited amount of time. Much interest has been taken in these contests and it is hoped that this contest given annually in connection with the basketball tournament will become one of the biggest events of the school year. -------c.h.s.--- DECLAMATORY A notice saying that a meeting for all those interested in Declamation would be held in Room 24 at 4:00 o'clock, appeared on the bulletin board one day in April of Inst year. A goodly number of contestants turned out and soon they were being put into shape by Miss Northup and Mrs. Williams. A preliminary contest was held in the high school building in a short time with members of the faculty acting as judges. From the contestants the two best boys and the six best girls were chosen to speak in the finals. In the final contest Vera Murphy was chosen from the girls and Donald Blackstone from the boys, to represent the school in the district meet at Big Sandy. In the district meet we were not as fortunate as we had hoped to be. as we managed to bring home only one third place, won by Donald Blackstone. This year the chances in Declamation look very good. There are considerably more girls out for the contest than boys, but the boys make up in quality vcnat they lack in quantity. There is to be no final contest at the hall this year, but the final preliminaries will be held in the high school building. This has been decided upon because of the shortness of time until the district meet at Havre. The contestants have chosen their selections and are doing their best to get into shape so they can win in the district meet. Last year there was no definite goal for putting work into Declamatory, but this year the school is offering one-fourth credit as an honorary reward. This given anyone who comes out for Declamatory, not only the value of experience one receives, but a purpose to be attained. ------c.h s.----- CALENDAR Sept. 1.—Registration day. Sept. 2.
