Constitutional Contest Since the Utica Daily Press gave up sponsoring the local Constitutional Contests, there was doubt that Ive might have one this year. The faculty, however, with the co-operation of cer- tain seniors, was able to conduct a preliminary contest. The speakers in this were Helen Jacobs, Eleanor Harter, Ruth Hamm, Aline Brown, Emily Denton, Howard Seld, Saul Myers, Alexan- der Husband, and William Donohue. The winn er was William Donohue, with his speech Lin- coln, The Savior of The Constitution. Alexander Husband took second prize. Bill was then eligible for the zone contest, in which the towns of Central New York participated. Our candidate won here, and went to the sectional contest at Springlield, Massachusetts. Here the judges de- cided, as the listeners did earlier, that Herkimer's entry was the winner. By this victory Bill earned a trip to Europe through the summer months. We have now sent him on to Washington to represent all the northeastern United States in a national contest. Bill has brought back honor for himself, for the school, and for the community.
