Page hfty-five THE NORTHERN TRAIL 1 EDITH MCINTYRE-Declamarory LEO BENT-Orarory Declamatory HE students in the Eagle River High School have shown their inter- T est in forensics by taking part in the oratorical and declamatory con- tests each year. Last year there were eight contestants who took part in declamatory work. All took great interest in the work and progressed rapidly. The pre-preliminary held on March 29, was given for the purpose of choosing the five best speakers to represent the school in the League Contest to be held April 5 at Eagle River. The five speakers chosen were Edith McIntyre, Valeria Benson, Elsie Sparks, Margaret Morrison and Margaret Walsh. The League Contest was held at Eagle River between Crandon, Ar- gonne and Eagle River. The results of the contest favored all three of our contestants. Edith McIntyre's declamation, The American Citizen, won first place, and Catherine Davis' declamation, Little Dub, from Crandon, won second. The contestants winning first and second places in this contest repre- sented their schools in the District Contest held at Laonia on April 12. The American Citizen won second place and The Pretentions of Char- lotte, given by Alida Bolonder of Marinette, won 'first place. We hope a greater number of students will enter the forensic class again this year and win new honors for themselves and for the high school as they have done in the past few years.
