American Legion Contest Each year the American Legion sponsors an oratorical contest among the high school students of New York State in which each participant delivers and original essay. The win- ners of the various schools then compete in a county contest. Louis Boulet, with his essay “Grover Cleveland and the Constituton” won the local award and represented Gouverneur in the county contest held in the Dolan Auditorium. F. F. A. Student Honored Norman Drummond, a member of the Future Farmers of America and a junior in Gouverneur High School, won first prize of twentv-five dollars in the Soil-Fertility Contest sponsored by “The American Agriculturist.” This is a great honor to Norman as well as to the school, for the contest was state wide. He was recently nominated for the office of secretary-treasurer of the State Association of Future Farmers of America. In January he won the country D. D. A. leadership certificate, awarded for excellence in local and group Pane Sixteei
