- !XQ ' TKe ROCKET 1928 •@ 9 RUTH LANE ARLEY WILSON Declamatory The declamatory work in G. M. H. S. was exceptional this past year. This was due chiefly to the combined efforts of all the H. S. contestants, but two especially and our worthy coach, Mrs. Carolyn Shank Meek, of Des Moines. These two representatives were Ruth Lane, a Senior in Dramatic, and Arley Wilson, a Junior in the Humorous Class. Both won wide recogni- tion in their work, while competing in county and state contests. Arley won first in county and Ruth second, while both won first in Pre- liminary State Contest, at Geneseo. At the Sub-District at Nevada Ruth won first, Arley second. At Geneva, Ruth won second, speaking in the Pre-Dis- trict Contest. We all pay a tribute of appreciation to these individuals and may their future work be as successful. ■•OX®- .(gvo Thirty-seven
