There were about forty students competing in the eight cate- gories of discussion, humorous and serious interpretation, extemporaneous speaking, original and non-original oratory, extempo- raneous reading, and story telling. To prepare for the sub-district contests, the orators spent much time at home and at school practicing their selections. Critical help from the advisors, Miss Churchill, Mr. Fischer and Miss Schuette, aided the stu- dents in improving their speeches. Before the sub-district contests tourna- ments were held at area high schools. At these tournaments, the declam members were able to match their skills to those of other students and to benefit from the criti- cisms of different judges. Because of the many students who par- ticipated in declamation this year, it was necessary to hold an elimination contest to determine who would represent Heights in further competition. The elimination, held in the CHHS auditorium in March, included students from the senior high and from the two junior highs. Sub-district contests were later in March. One member, Dyanne Holmes, qualified for state competition. - bie Theiler, Rollen Oliver, Pam Jeska, Pam Ertzgard, Kathy Sappa. THIRD ROW: Sue .

Gestures prove to be a vital part of story telling illustrates Mary Morey.

1 The Future Nurses Club Tours Schools And Institutes Examining eyes, ears, and throat, the mem- bers ofthe Future Nurses Club were able to find confetti everywhere they looked. The sale of confetti at the Homecoming game was one of the main moneymaking projects of FNC this year. Other funds for the club came from dues collected at the beginning ofthe year and from a sock hop which FNC sponsored in March for Heights students. The only real requirement to join the club was to have a strong stomach. Girls who tended to be squeamish found no place in Future Nurses Club, since they were called upon to help in the Mantoux Clinic on Oc- tober 3l. They also assisted in the clinic for immunizations. There was ample opportunity for the fu- ture nurses to view their profession in ac- tion. They made several field trips during the year. On November lO, they joined the Nurses Club at St. Anthony and visited the Cambridge State Hospital. The members also toured the Anchor School of Nursing in St. Paul and the Anoka Ramsey Junior Col- lege on other trips.

With a flow ot words, someridiculous and others unexpectedly brilliant, the newly formed debate team started a new tradition at Heights. The team, started by Joan Churchill, was the beginning ot the debate program at Columbia Heights. When Miss Churchill explained to pro- spective debators the work debate in- volved, the teams membership dropped from about twenty-tive to eight people. The teams, A and B, attended debate tournaments every Saturday through Janu- ary to improve their debating skill with practice. The team made several overnight . trips to such places as Duluth. on By January the teams had accumulated a record ot several wins. ln a tournament at Duluth Central l-ligh School, the A team won a second place trophy.
