15 - Oratorical Contest - by Ione Stubbs XI Down through the ages, from the ancient times of Greece and Home to the present day, oratory has been considered one of the arts. But to students of O.D.H.S. oratory is more than just an ancient study of public speaking. Every year the students compete for the honour of winning the Curry and the Aiken cups., The Curry cup is the coveted trophy among the Juniors, while the Aiken cup serves as the same symbol among the Seniors. Each grade submits a limited nu ber of speakers to compete. To determine who these speakers will be, a class competition is held wherein every pupil must give a prepared composition on any topic of his or her selection. All through the early part of March one may see students with extraordinarily harried faces, wandering about the halls, hastily trying to com it their speeches to memory or biting their fingernails from pure nervousness. When the best speakers are selected from each class the Semi-Finals are held. For this each speaker must have a prepared speech and also an impromtu. These speeches are ju ged by members of the staff who select Wthe cream.of the cropu, to go on to the Finals. This year three Juniors and four Seniors were chosen. On March 18th the student body and a number of the public gathered in the gym asiu for the Finals. Miss Ruby Baltzer, Mr. Murray McKitrick and Mr. Boris Parkinson assumed the difficult role of judges. The first speaker was Irwin Gillespie whose most timely subject was NJosef Stalin and Communismn. His impromtu - the account of his first interview for a job amused the student body immensely. Paul Henderson, speaking on the great hockey player UTeeter Kennedyu, interested the boys particularly. Reminiscent smiles appeared on many faces when he gave his impromtu -UMusic Lessonsn. Dorothy Woods, last of the Junior speakers, spoke.on WWhy I Am Proud to Live in Ontarion and gave her impromtu on nSchool Spiritn. Eleanore Beeney, the first of the Senior speakers, spoke on the thought-provoking subject Ulf Canada Were At War, Would You Enlist. Her impromtu speech concerned the aromatic subject of UOnionsW. Berna- dette Garvey followed with Nlour Futuren and the all too familiar NMbrning Bluesn. Shirley Simpson next spoke on WYour Future's What You Make Itn and for her impromtu WMy First Daten. Bruce Small, last of the Senior speakers outlined his thoughts on NRighteousnessW and then asked in his impro tu NAre Children Getting Worse?H ' During the intermission between the prepared and imprdmtu speeches, the school military band, entertained an appreciative audience. Under the direction of Mr. Smith it rendered several melodic select- ions.
