Prize Speaking This year found it more difficult te determine the contestants for the annual prize speaking contest. For the past years, it has been required that each member of the student body make preparations for the try-outs from which a division of twelve is chosen. An improvement of particular notice is that considerable more effort was made and more interest taken by the individuals. -nun-3--- .A-1
