CLYDE LYNCH Winner of McKean County High Schools Oratorical Contest A young man who achieved special fame for Port High. Clyde Lynch was Port’s representative in the County Oratorical Contest held at Kane on April 8. From the first he was real interested in the contest but after winning the local contest and being selected as our representative for the Kane meet he worked with special pains to improve his oration and delivery so far as to win, for his Alma Mater. When the night of April the 8th arrived and Clyde was chosen first speaker the Port crowds were somewhat discouraged and doubtful. But when he took the platform and asked in a commanding voice “Citizens of the United States, what does the Constitution mean to you ?” they lost their fear and before his speech was concluded they were confident of victory. When the final representative had delivered his oration the Port crowds still retained their air of confidence and when the chairman announced Clyde I ynch as winner, he merely confirmed their belief. Being winner of the County meet not only brought personal fame to the winner but presented a beautiful silver cup to the school as a trophy. In the sectional meet at Greenville he was awarded second place which in itself was a great honor considering the range of opposition. El Clydo is not only known for his oratorical ability but he has held many responsible offices in the school, being editor of the Bugle, football manager, a member of the Spanish Club and having served as president of the Class of ’27 as Juniors. He has a good personality and is very popular among his schoolmates and friends.
