S. Kovacs, S. McKay, S. Keymer, J. McDougall, J. Mitcht-ll, L. Kolxrt, J. Walker. PUBLIC SPEAKING EVERY YEAR the McGill Alumnae Society sponsors a Public Speaking Contest, open to girls from Grades 10 and 11 of High Schools and Private Schools in Montreal and the surrounding area. Each school may send one contestant, and this year there were about forty entrants. In order to choose a speaker to represent Trafalgar, each girl in Forms V and VI gave a speech to her Form, Those considered good enough again spoke to the whole Sixth Form together. From these, four were chosen to speak to the school in the gym; they were Judy McDougall and Sheilah McKay from Form VI, and Sandra Kovacs and Sandra Keymer from Form V. Judy McDougall spoke on Nonsense in English Literature , Her speech was very interesting and amusing. She pointed out how necessary and important good nonsense is to literature, quoting some nonsense verses and limericks. Sheilah McKay spoke on Social Work , of the good work being done for the crippled, mentally and physically ill, and underprivileged people of all ages. Sandra Kovacs spoke on Seeing Eye Dogs . She told us of the training these dogs require and of the great number of them which are being used today. Finally, Sandra Keymer spoke on The Year 1953 , with svich important events as the Coronation, the ascent of Everest, and the death of Joseph Stalin. A day or so later, three members of Form IV — Jean Mitchell, Jane Walker and Lucile Robert — delivered speeches with great success on Valentin Shabaeff, a contem- porary artist, on Water Skiing, and on the Advant ages of being Bi-lingual. All these speeches were very good, and each interesting in its own way. Judy McDougall was chosen to represent Trafalgar at the McGill Alumnae Contest, and after being successful in the semi-finals she went on to win the Cup in the finals. Congratulations, Judy!
