Students from the sophomore, junior,,and senior classes of Fitchburg, Leominster, Ashby, Townsend, and Lunenburg high schools were present on the program. Each Wednes- day evening at 8:00 P. M. three contestants from two high schools faced each other across the microphones. In the Afirst round, the Lu enburg high seniors, Ann Jandron, Floyd Riley, and Esther Aho, lost to the Leominster high seniors. The juniors, Carol Huntington, Molly Hidden, Norman Page, and Howard Hyt- tinen had better luck in the second round, winning the first contest, but losing to Fitchburg the second time. In a second senior 'round, the Lunenburg representatives lost a close contest by one point to Fitchburg. The sophomores, Constance Brown, John Kenney, and Richard Rand won their first two quizzes, only to lose to Leominster. Much credit should be given to the 'Quiz Kids' who so ably repre- sented Lu enburg high school on the program, to the teachers who as- sisted the students in preparing for the ouizzcs, and to Mr. Ksrkos who accompanied the students to each program. 7:70120 lynn an f The annual Public Speaking Contest was held in the high school auditorium February 15, 1946, and was sponsored by the Parent-Teachers Association.
