DECLAMATION AND ORATORICAL CONTESTS There was an unusually large number of contestants to turn out for the Declamation and Oratorical contests. At the final try-out held April 10th, in the Presbyterian church, Ora Carter was chosen to represent Myrtle Point in the county Declamatory contest and Fred McMullen was chosen as the representative in the Oratorical contest. All of these contestants did exceptionally well and it was, indeed, hard for the judges to render their decision. The following is the program of the county contest held at Coquille on the night of April 21st: Speakers and Subjects Declamations. “The Boy orator of Zepata City”— Ruth Corey of Marshfield. “The Polish Boy”— Leora Waterman of Bandon. “Bernardo del Car-pio”— Virgie Hansen of Bridge. “The English Buccaneer” — Charlotte McMullen of North Bend. “King Robert of Sicily”— Ora Carter of Myrtle Point. “The Soldier’s Reprieve”—Teresa Clinton of Coquille. Orations “Toussaint L’Ouverture”—William McArthur of Marshfield. “Spartacus to the Gladiators”—Emery La Tour-rette cf Bandon. “The New South”—Trygve Kjelfand of North Bend. “Eulogy of Wendell Phillips”— Frederick McMullen of Myrtle Point. “Selections from Curtis’ Oration at Concord”— Erroll Sloan of Coquille.

DEBATE The first step taken towaids the debate work was the preliminary debates given by the English classes. From these debaters, six were chosen to enter the try-out from wh;ch would be selected Myrtle Point’s representatives in the county contest to be held the n:ght of February 10. From the try-out debat? Marguerite Laird and Vada Davis were to comprise the affirmative team, while Claire Keltner and Odis Beckham, with Ora Carter, as a substitute, were the ones chosen on the negative team. These students entered the work with much enthusiasm and under the never-failing efforts of our coach, Mr. Linn, made much head-way. Our affirmative team met North Bend and, although they did not win the decision of the judges, they brought honor to our High school. Our negative team was sent to Bandon and, of course, they brought home the honors. A rather unusual occurence was the fact that every negative team in the county won, so the debates must of necessity be repeated the following week. (Continued on Page Thirty-nine) Page Thirty
