Student realization of world problems is evidenced by the increasing popularity of the Declamation club. This club . . . whose purpose is training in public speaking . . . has doubled its membership in the last year. Declamation includes verse, dramatic, and humorous reading, tf-gether with oratory. Adviser of the group, Mrs. Juna Crippen, chooses five or six of these students to attend the annual Speech Festival . . . held this year in Dickinson. Another contest which may be entered is the American Legion Oratorical Contest . . . open to high school orators. Pat Williams, rehearsing with coach, Mrs. Juna Crippen, pre- pares his original oration, The Constitution-A Barrier Against Tyranny for the American Legion Oratorical Contest.
