 jSIBl®. Oratory and Declamatory Last year we entered the Oratorical and Declamatory contests for the first time, and had fairly ‘rood success. There were only a few who entered. We only had a few weeks in which to prepare our selections for the league contest, which was held at Milltown. The members chosen to represent our school made a good showing at this contest. This year we had a large number entering, as there were eleven girls and seven hoys. All classes were represented in both boys’ and girls’ contests. The preliminary contest was held April 5th. It was well attended, and all the contestants made a splendid showing, it being hard to determine the different places. Benedict Lien was the winner of first place in the oratorical contest, and Delpha Gale won first place in the declamatory contest.
