This contest is a yearly project which gives the student a chance to do a little serious thinking about the country we live in. Carol Hendrick won the State Tuberculosis Essay Contest, which gave us a little insight into the problem of tuberculosis treatment and cure. The American Legion Oratory contest was won by Judy Miller. The subject was the U. S. Constitution, another subject giving us a good look at the meaning of being an American. 20
