Nineteen Fifty PUBLIC SPEAKING WINNERS PHOEBUS - GT+O Back Row: Maurice Cosyn, David Suzuki. Loanne Graham. Douglas Graham, George Cole. Front Row: lane Anderson. Ioyce McGregor, Faye Hillier. PUBLIC SPEAKING Again this winter term Public Speaking played an important part in our school activities. Evidence of enthusiasm was proven by the fact that 163 students entered the eliminations from the four houses. The students are qutck to realize the advantages of the art of speaking and ihe f.ne training received at the High School. In the final contests, March 6 and 7, two speakers from each of the houses —Alpha, Bela, Gamma and Della—vied for the Public Speaking Crest. As this crest i ' 3 considered one of the most important, competition is very keen. The crest this year was won by Alpha House. The speakers who aided in winning the crest for their house were:—Maurice Cosyn, lane Anderson, Joy Morrison. Every year since its inception in 1939, enthusiasm over Public Speaking has increased and the final contests have become increasingly closer. This year the students witnessed the closest contest ever judged. The margin of points between the houses was very small, Alpha winning by a scant half point. Thus this year we salute Alpha house for being the proud possessor of the Public Speaking Crest for 1949-1950. - 8 -
