H. S. in the fall of 1918 under the supervision of Mr. Humke. It was the largest class in C. H .S., with about fifty students. The work at first was of a general order and many extempor- aneous orations were delivered. The class of 1918 was, without a doubt, famous for its red hot debates. In the trying times of 1918 when the United States called for help in the Fourth Liberty Loan, the public speaking class had a chance to show its colors, and it did. For one week in every theatre in Connersville, matinee and night, a member of the class acted as a four minute man and no less than thirty-live excellent orations were delivered After the Liberty Loan speeches, the class devoted its time to orations for the District Oratorical Contest which was held at Fortville. Miss Fern Copeland, '19, won first place and brought home the honors for old C. H. S. The class, after experiencing nothing but success, entered a triangular con- test with Liberty and Rushville and won second place. In the fall of 1919, public speaking was not forgotten and a new class was opened. lts work in debating has been unexcelled by any other organiza- tion in'C. H. S. The class has devoted much of its time to the study of Par- liamentary Law. It entered into the Discussion League and the subject talk was The Railroad Question. Sinks Tatman received first place in C. H. S. and represented us in the District Contest here, where he finished in second place among six contestants. He spoke under a handicap of illness which kept him bedfast until a few hours before the contest, but his talk was an instructive one delivered in a straightforward, effective manner which placed it almost on a par with the winning one. Finally, the high school took part in a declamation contest with Rush- ville and won hrst in both the girls' and the boys' contestf Norvilla DeHaven and Booth Carter were C. H. S.'s winning representatives. Although C. H. S. has only participated in oratory for two years, it has made very rapid pro- gress and excellent work has been accomplished. lllillllllllillilIlllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllIllIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllillllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllIIIIIIlllIIIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlIllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIilllIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllfu
