Forensics Although last year saw the installation of a chapter of the National Forensic League in our school, it was this year that really saw our participation in the N.F.l.. reading, oration, debating, and extempore contests and the excellent results of our so-directed efforts. ln 1934 Harvey Schauftler participated in the national original oratorical contests held at Topeka, Kansas, and as Glassport's representative, claimed the na- tional title for Cilassport High School. This year Glassport was again represented at the national finals, held this time at Oklahoma City. Margaret Carpenter first presented her oration, America, The Spectacular, at our school when the county contests were held. Then she traveled to California where she gained first place i11 the state eliminations, therehy claiming the state title and meriting the right to 9:-MSS go to Oklahoma, where she made an excellent showing. lllr. Joseph Srp wa l -r coach, as well as Harvey Schaufflens. Presenting the declarnation entitled, mln Defense of the l'uritan,,' Vivian lllil- ton, coached hy Miss Mary Easton, won the county championship. lllrs. ,lose- phine Truxell coached this year's extemporaneous speaker, Merrill Snyder, whose talks on phases of the Constitution in the county contests iinished lirst in competi- tion with other schools.

The character who symlmol- izes Death is for the most part a very human sort of person, with none of the conventional claptrap that might easily have been dragged in for mere effect. lt is a play that arouses thought, stimulates discussion. and presents a novel and op- timistic philosophy on the prohlems of love and death. .K 'I3
