Declamatory Only six students went out for declamatory this year. Of those who participated four were sophomores. There was one junior and one freshman. In the local contest Eddie Linn placed first in oratorical, Viola Ogden first in dramatic, and Louetta Switzer first in humorous. Eddie Linn placed first in the preliminary county, county and preliminary state contests. In the pre-district at Burlington he placed second. The other contestants did not place in any contests. In an attempt to increase interest in declamatory work a contest was held by the students of Mr. McMickle's room. Kahleen Linderson won first place. Cheer Leaders At the beginning of the basketball season Erma Zillman and Virginia Cavenee were selected as cheer leaders for the year. They must be given much credit for the pep they generated at pep meetings and games. The junior Class Viola Ogden The Junior class is hard to beat, They never will admit defeat, They always work with all their might, And for their class, they're ready to fight. And in this class I'm proud to be, The reason you can readily see For every Junior is on his knees, To answer questions although he's teased.
