BLUE A X I) W H I T E 1947 PUBLIC SPEAKERS B. IVi.lcMIllan. D. Haley, W. Hull PUBLIC SPEAKING Our ln-artiest congratulations to this year’s orator, Barbara MacMillan, a junior girl, who brought oratorical honours to herself and to Walkerville Collegiate, in the Junior girls’ W.S. S.A. contest. Barbara placed first for all the Windsor Secondary schools with the aid of her pleasant voice and her well-chosen topic. Prime Minister McKenzie King. Barbara ' s impromptu in the city contest was. ’Tarty (ianies.” and her impromptu in the Walkerville contest was “My mbit ion—Nursing. In the Senior girls ' contest. Donna Haley was ceded first place since no other girl would com¬ pete against her. But Donna gave her speech re¬ gardless. and proved to us that she certainly has speaking ability. Donna’s main speech was en- Iilled Camp Life.” in which she gave a humour¬ ous and complete oral picture of her interesting life at camp last summer. In her impromptu. United We Stand. Divided We Kail she told of l he state in which the world is today with its atomic bombs and dissatisfied nations. Inciden¬ tally. Donna was runner-up in the Senior girls’ W.S.S.A. contest. The Senior boys were apparently in the same lositiou as the Senior girls, since no boy would compete against Bill Mull. Bill, however, showed no lack of oratorical quality. Speaking on Switz¬ erland . he described her position in the world, past and present. A Good Book to Bead and Why was Bill ' s impromptu. The number of contestants who took part in the junior contests was more inspiring. The run¬ ner up in the Junior girls’ contest was Donna I •» Hipwell. a grade nine student, who gave a very enlightening speech on Customs of India. Handicaps Can Be Overcome was Donna’s in¬ teresting impromptu. Ken Dulmage was the winner in the Junior boys ' competition. Ken showed ability both in his main speech Radio in Our Daily Life , and in his excellent impromptu. The Subject I Like Best. which is History. Runner-up was Jim Muir who spoke on The Phonograph Record. Jim gave complete details in the making of a phonograph record. His impromptu was My hirst Camping Experience. We congratulate all the speakers, both winners and competitors on their excellent showing, and hope that next year more of Walkerville ' s stu¬ dents will capture city honours. —JANE CUTIIBKKT. J2A.
