May the eighth, the day to which we had all been looking forward for sometime, finally came. On this day the oratorical contest was to occur at Circleville. Work went on as usual In the morn- ing until ten-twenty. Although the time of departure was twelve o'clock, it was after twelve-thirty when the three special interurban cars moved away from the station with the large delegation of over two hundred. All along Columbus street groups of ad- miring citizens viewed the pretty sight made by the waving pennants and heard, though perhaps did not enjoy, the noise of horns and whistles. We arrived at Circleville at two forty-five and as soon as we were off the cars, raised our beautiful banner and gave some yells with plenty of volume. The M. W. A. Band of Cir- cleville. met the party and conducted us to Memorial Hall, which had been thrown open for the use of the visit- ors. The residents and business men of the city had decorated in honor of their guests and on every side were streamers and gay pennants. On account of the rain which con- tinued almost incessantly during the day. the base ball game and track meet bad to be dispensed with. Pro- vision was made for this emergency, however, by opening to the visiting schools several of the halls of the city, where music was provided. But these amusements simply fur- nished preparation for the really great event of the trip—the oratorical con- test itself, which took place in Me- morial Hall at seven-thirty. It is impossible to describe the scene of a contest of this kind in such a way as to make it real. One must be in the midst of the seething cheer- ing. loyal-hearted boys and girls be- fore he can appreciate their enthus- iasm. In one of the many skirmishes which took place while the audience was assembling. I ancaster lost her beautiful new banner to some Circle- ville students. Nothing daunted, our color-bearers soon hoisted a group of smaller pennants accompanied by some frayed Circleville colors with a lemon attached. Ovr contestant. Russell Driver, occu- pied third place on the program. He did justice to himself and to his school in every way. His oration was a splendid one. well prepared and qually well given. He s] oke in a pleasantly modulated voice and held the attention of his audience from the very first. At the close he was pre- sented with a beautiful bunch of red roses by his fellow-students. The interest became intense as the time approached at which the decis- ion of the judges was to be announced. When Supt. Hard of Chlllicothe. Presi- dent of the Association, called Russell Driver to the platform, the enthus- iasm of the Lancaster people knew no bounds. They rose in one solid mass, waving the purple and gold and cluered until the hall was emptied. An impromptu reception was then ten- der d the successful orator in which every one had an opportunity to ex- press his congratulations. The party left Circleville at a late hour. Mr. Driver's oration. The Pathways to Our Greatness. is published in full elsewhere in this issue. On April 17 the Alumni committee of 190S composed of Mr. George Ris- ing. Mr. Clyde Cole.
