Interscholastic Prize Speaking Contests The Northern New York League Speaking Contest for boys took place at Potsdam on the evening of May 22, and the girls’ contest, at Canton, on the evening of May 25. The six schools represented were : Canton, Gouverneur, Malone, Massena, Ogdensburg, and Potsdam. In the boys’ contest, the first award of $7.50 went to Richard Given of Canton; Ray- mond Trail of Malone won the second prize of $5.00, and John Christian of Gouverneur received honorable mention. The girls’ contest resulted in a tie between Margaret Nelson, a candidate from Pots- dam, and Betty Streeter of Gouverneur. The league officials decided to give each a prize of $7.50. Naomi Pelletier of Ogdensburg won the $5.00 prize. This school has derived many benefits and pleasures from this new interscholastic activity. The students have met the various candidates from the neighboring towns, and already new friendships have been formed, and all are looking forward to the next meeting. As time goes on, new interest will develop, new acquaintances will be made, and lessons in true sportmanship will be learned. All who enter these contests know that there must be losers as well as winners, and it is with this thought in mind that the speakers from this school anticipate next year’s contest. It is easy to be generous and courteous in victory, but a cheerful loser gives proof of true culture. SillllBlI |||!| i;i llll I' 'iilDlf in 111 iiiiBiiii' mi ii1 n il in in ni' 'in 11 in' mi if?
