Berlamatnrg ani! iixtempnranenua Glnnteatz Under the skillful coaching of Mr. Anderson, eight boys are entering the declam- atory contest, and four the extemporaneous, as compared to five and three entrants in 1925. The local declamation contest of 1925 was decided as follows: Glen Sivertsen-first place- Builders of Empiresf' Louis Berg-second place- Defeat, the Progenitor of Victory. Philip LaFontaine-third place- Idols and Ideals. Glen Sivertsen received second place in the league contest. In the externporaneous contest, Carl Trulson received first and Harold Miner second place. Carl Trulson also won the league contest and represented us at the dis- trict contest in Stevens Point. This year 119265, on account of the large number of contestants, there will be an elimination contest in declamation, at which the five best will be chosen to represent the school in the local contest. The winner of this local contest will represent the school at the league contest, to be held on May seventh. In the local contest 1926 Leland Lucas won first in Oratory and Harold Miner in Extemporaneous. Harold Miner won trophy cup at League and First in the contest at Stevens Point District, representing the District at Madison in the State Contest. .Q-I 48 Ip..

A poorly arranged and balanced instrumentation does not give the students a great deal of enthusiasm ll' f and interest because of the limitations in handling good music. In October nearly nine hundred dollars Worth of instru- fn ments were purchased and through rental contracts distributed among members of the band. The rental system was arranged so that members might use all rental paid toward paying up the contract and owning their instrument and over I' fifty per cent will avail themselves of this opportunity during the year. There were eleven old men to start the band li . f work and twenty-eight beginners. They gave their first concert in December and have given one monthly concert in the is Zjf- 9 theatre during the remainder of the school year. The group work has been carried on by Mr. Slyfield and Miss Singleton ' awk and has been most effective. Seldom does a band with so many new members acquire the ability to play as effectively as, I this group does. They surely will have a wonderful organization next year.
