FORENSICS Here we are at Burnett, the chosen place for the State Graded School Declamatory Contest. The speakers are getting instructions on how they are to appear. I wonder who111 win. I hope Theresa does. The person chosen to judge this contest is Mr. Alcott from Horicon High School. There are six contestants giving their speeche as follows: Lowell William Henry”—Mary Elizabeth Caine Clear Windows”—Marcella Unland Burnett I Am an American —Francis Kurtz The Girl Who Was Slapped —El nay Schwartz Theresa The Unknown Soldier —Oliver Krueger The Absent-Minded Professor”—Jeanne Liebold Now the speakers are finished and we’re all anxiously waiting the final decision. Several other ninth and tenth graders from Theresa are almost holding their breaths to soe if oither of our contestants will got a place. Oho2 Here comes the judge v ith the final decision. First place goes to Francis Kurtz who delivered the oration I An An American.” Second place is won by Jeanne Liebold of Theresa who gave the humorous declaration entitled, The Absent-Minded Professor . The judge told us that Oliver Kruoger had given a wonderful spoech and was in for second place until Jeanne came along However, he would have received third place, but only two places v erc awarded. Good for Oliveri That’s the old T. H. S. spiritJ The medal-lockets given to the two winners were donated by the three schools—Theresa, Lovell, and Burnett. The first nodal-locket v as gold and the second medal locket was silver. Each was engraved with the letters D. C. S. G. S. ere all interested in this congest because it gave us a typo of chance to compete rgainst our chosen rivals, Burnett and Lowell. Next yerr wo hope to include many more pupils in the contest. We intend to hold a preliminary contest in school first of all and have s mo outside judge to choose the two best speakers. Then these will enter in the county contest. The plans sound fine. Let’s all show cur school spirit next year and participate in this now type of event. ---Mary Jane Forstner
