Hamilton Speakers Francis Clary, Howard Woods Donald Kihhey, Clinton Beach, Karl Sanderson. Kmmctt Ryan The Hamilton Speaking Contest The early part of March, Professor Medden received notice from the Hamilton College Alumni Association that an oratorical contest was to l e given by their society at Rochester, on April thirtieth. Mynderse Academy was requested to send one representative to partake in the contest. A great amount of interest was aroused by the invitation, on account of the wish of several boys to represent the school. Therefore, through the suggestion of Mr. Anibal, an eliminating contest was held. This took place in the Assembly Hall in the afternoon of April 2nd. The speakers were trained by Mr. Anibal and we need to thank him for presenting the most interesting speaking contest of its kind ever held in the school. Mr. Gibson, former Assistant Superintendent of Syracuse schools; Mr. Truesdale, Superintendent of schools in Geneva, and Mr. Williams, principal of Waterloo High School, were chosen for judges. Music was furnished by Mrs. Williams’ Mandolin Club. The program was as follows: “Citizenship” ..................Clinton R. Reach “A Plea for Cuba,”................Francis J. Clary “The Faith of Lincoln”...........Donald G. Kibbey “The Battle of Waterloo”.......Earl J. Sanderson “The Scars of Honor”.............Emmett J. Ryan, Jr. “'File Mother of Lincoln”......Howard L. Woods The judges withdrew for some time to decide on the [10] outcome of the contest and after a long deliberation announced that the first prize was awarded to Donald G. Kibbey; the winner of the second prize was Emmett |. Ryan. Jr. ; honorable mention was awarded to Clinton R. Reach. The contest was a success and was attended by a large number of spectators. Prize Speaking Contest of 1911 Qn the evening of June 20th, 1911, eight meml)ers of our class, who were chosen as prize speakers, spoke in the Assembly Hall. The hall was crowded and the contest proved to be the most interesting of its kind that Mynderse has had in several years. From the fact that the class of 1912 has, among its members, a great many good speakers, the contestants were chosen only after considerable debate on the part of the faculty. 'Flic number selected, worked faithfully and diligently under the direction of Miss Charlotte Whitney, of Stanley, X. Y., and their speaking, well rewarded the speakers for their trouble. Both judges, faculty and spectators joined in saying that they had never attended a contest in which the speakers were so evenly matched and in which they showed such determination to win. There were four prizes awarded; the first prizes, beautiful gold medals, were awarded to Francis J. Clary, and Anna R. Ferguson. The second prizes.

Simply this: Because in his great wisdom he realizes that from the exalted pinnacle held as the inherent right of a post-graduate, the toil and tumult of sublaureate strife may l e reviewed with the greatest efficiency and effectiveness. The position of the post-graduate being thus picturesquely portrayed in proper perspective, we shall now proceed to the propagated prosecution of the stupendous undertaking which confronts us. Although the undergraduates are never in order, they will appear so here for the convenience of the author and the adaptability of his antithesis. First we discern, procul, the sub-freshman, who is so insignificant that he will be overlooked in this article. Quite incidently the Freshman has been called to our attention. The Freshman is very fortunate. Why? Because lie has risen from the ranks of the sub-freshman. and from the subber-freshman! Aside from this, the Freshman is all that his name implies: fresh in the true sense, fresh in the slang sense, and fresh in the unsalted sense; the savoring salt of learning is his yet to attain. Just now he is largely pepper—and green pepper at that; and to think that once all of us were Fresh!
