ORATORY A.CH pupil in the Valparaiso High School is trained in pub- lic speaking from the time he enters as a freshman until his graduation four years later. But high school oratory hiber- nates during the autunm and renews its youth in the s])ring when all young things are budding. Each pupil must api)ear at least once a year liefore the entire school in recitation or debate. In the Senior year two other opportunities are afforded him for public speaking, the Senior Oratorical offers him a chance to win tive dollars and the honor of representing his school in the Northern Indiana Meet; then the University of Chicago holds a contest each year for the schools co-operating with that institution. A scholarship is given to the one winning tirst place in effective speaking in this event. A number of gii ' ls went to Lake Forest to compete in a public si)eaking contest, also. This year the contestants in the Seniors oratorical were: Miss Fay, who spoke on The Value of the Study of Latin, and won first place among the girls, and Mr. Timmons, who took tirst hon- ors among the boys with a speech on The Conservation of Natural Resources. Mr. Marston and Mr. Dodge entered the public s{)eaking contest at the U. of C. and ([ualitied for the finals, the first time this honor had been won by the students of the V. H. S. ; I)ut, owing to a lack of preparation, caused by a misunderstanding of the rules, they did not win the finals. We hope that our rei)resentatives next year may have better luck and bring back the laurels in oratory for the honor of V. H. S. ROLAND J. KENNY. 25
