CDW5211 j, ORATORICAL CONTEST The county division of the National Oratorica-l Contest was held in the Mont a H' h ' ' ' ' ' es no ig School Auditorium March 31 1928 The original orations were on The Development and t'The Present si'gnifiQame of the Constitution Miss Gladys Phillips and Wayne Johnson represented Weatherwhax High, Aberdeen: Miss Marie Cotton, Montesano and Miss Edna McMaster, Oakville. Prizes of fifteen, ten and five dollars in gold were presented to Miss Ph'll' . . 1 ips, Wayne Johnson and Edna McMaster, respectively, by the chairman, Rev. Van Marten. The judges were all from Olympia. Miss Verna Lemmon was also an entrant but because of illness was not able to take part. This has been the first t' ' f ' ' ime in sexeral years that Oakville has sent a representative to the O t ' l ' ra orica Contest, and we are happy that Edna won third place, while we are hoping for first honors next year. SCHOOL HOURS Between the nine and three-thirty bell When we go to that great place called school The first class in the morning that greets us Is English, a time when good students canit fool. The next class which we enter is Spelling Composed of large words and black type. Our teacher sometimes at us gets provoked For some students to her aren't polite. The whispering turns into silence W'hen the spelling room door opens wide, Mr. Murphy walks carelessly inward And by noiseless students he's eyed. A sudden rush for the stairway Ends each period throughout the day, With crowding and rushing down the hallways Hastens each one on his Way. I have these scenes fast in my memory, Which from me shall never depart, With the hardships of school in their dungeons And each teacher and class in my heart. M-Dora Gibson, '29.

cgifhru 17, CARNHUU,QUEEN Have you heard of Cinderella, who became a Queen? Of course you have. But our Queen was not Cinderella nor did she come from the chimney corner. Dressed in a dainty yellow frock, Margaret Thompson left her confectionery stand to rule over her light-hearted subjects. Amidst serpentine and confetti she was crowned Queen of the Junior Carnival. Her first wish was that all the merry makers would enjoy themselves. Heretofore no space has been given to the Carnival Queen but we feel that this should be an honor in our school. ROOTERS CLUB Rah! Rah! Oakville! This a-nd many other yells were heard frequently echoing through the halls of O. H. when basketball, baseball and debate teams went to conquer, knowing that they had the support and good wishes of each student. Largely through the efforts of Cozette Ely, a Rooter's Club was organized with her as the first President and Herbert Bell as Yell Leader. After he left she assumed complete responsibility. Soon jaunty little caps of the school colors of red and white were perched on almost every head and small megavphones were purchased for rooting at the games. The Yell Leader also had a megaphone, a great deal larger. Helen Damitio was elected to fill the position made vacant by the departure of Cozette. Harold Lemmon and Corressa Shull were made Yell King and Queen. During the intermission at several of the games certain students presented stunts-funny and amusing. This Club has done much to arouse school spirit and enthusia-sm in school activities and it is hoped that in later years the Rooter's Club will become one of the leading student organizations. We believe that the Yell King and Queen should be mad-e more of to keep up our school pep. O-A-K-V-I-LL-E Three cheers for Oakville Oakville will win, Fight to the finish Never give in: Rah! Rah!
