Declamation The climb to the state level competition in a declamation contest is truly an experience to re- member for a high school student. The series of contests lasted from mid March to late April and all schools could particiapate. The first contest is, of course, the local, with every bit of the excitement of a state con- test. The first selection given by Mary Ahrens was a grouping of three short poems of Stephen Crane. Each contestant must preface his reading with a spoken introduction and the entire presentation is not longer than five minutes. At the sub-dis- trict Mary read a selection from Edwin A. Robinson. At the district speech meet,Mary chose two poems by a favorite Anerican , William W. Longfellow, includ- ing the well-known An Arrow and a Song. Receiv- ing an A rating, Mary next Journeyed to Tracy High School for the next big regional gathering. Here, she drew a different selection by Edwin A. Robinson again, and this rendition brought particular praise from the adjudicator for Mary and her coach, Mrs. Larsen. Mary received her last superior rating with a difficult work of the contemporary poet, Wallace Stevens, at the state contest in Hamline University in St. Paul. Out of the eight different categories in Declam work, students from Morton partic- ipate in five of them, which are storytelling, extemporaneous reading, non-original oratory, serious interpretation and humorous interpretation. After the local contest, which was the latter part of February or the first part of March, we went to the sub-district contest. Only four divisions are entered in the sub-district so the remaining four local winners go directly to the district con- test. We have had an exceptionally fine year. From our fourteen local winners, twelve went to the sub-district at Morgan and from there we had five who entered the District 10 competition at New Ulm. Our two district winners, Mary Kay Ahrens and Barb Petsinger, competed in the Reg- ion 3 festival at Tracy. Maiy Kay,a regional winner, competed in the state festi- val at Hamline University at St. Paul, where she received an A rating. Betty Crocker Award Marv Sullivan is the 1966 Homemaker of To- morrow from Morton High School. Mary was the top scorer from the fourteen senior girls who participated in the contest. Mary was awarded a bronze pin for this honor. Mary's paper next entered the state contest. The winner of the state contest received an ex- pense paid trip to Williamsburg, Virginia, and Washington D.C. along with a $1500 scholarship; second place winner received a $500 scholarship and a set of the Encyclopedia Britannica. The winning papers from the state contest entered the national contest. The first winner received a $5000 scholarship, second winner a $U000 scholarship, third place winner a $3000 scholarship, and fourth winner a $2000 scholar- ship. Congratulations, Mary. 43
