Dave Judge climaxed the declam season by winning a superior rat- ing in state competition. At various contest levels, Rosemary Eisenmenger rated excellent in regional competition and Georgene Mosey and Dale Hagan received excellent ratings in the district contest. These four won in local competition over a large field. Dale Hagan received honorable mention in the state Voice of Demo- cracy radio-speaking contest while LaVerna Hansen reached the state level in American Legion Oratory. Debate provided an opportunity for travel as well as learning as the debaters, accompanied by Mr. Swanson, took part in tournaments in Moorhead and Madison, Minnesota, Watertown, Mitchell, Brookings, Ver- million, and finally the state tournament in Pierre. Fifth place in a field of twelve was captured by the state A tourney team made up of Dale Hagan and Rosemary Eisenmenger, who argued both sides of the question against teams from towns far-outclassing Milbank in size. Rosemary finished second of eight contestants in state A girls' ex- temp. N. F. L. Back row left to right: Rosemary Eisenmenger, La- Verna Hansen, Dale Hagan, David Judge. June Keller, Mary Garvey.
