BLUE AND WHITE l ' M8 .57 - PUBLIC SPEAKERS D. Bates, B. MacMillan, J. Muir, E. Fertaly. PUBLIC SPEAKING To those orators who spoke this year we say that they have not only gained valuable experi¬ ence in this field but also have shown us that they, as speakers, have excellent opportunities in thi.-, capacity. The speeches were the best in a long time at and the speakers are a credit to their school. Although the number of speakers in the Junior contest was inspiring, not nearly enough Seniors made a showing in a school uf this size. Barbara MacMillan, the winner of the W.S.S.A. Junior girls ' contest last year, and a Senior this year, was the only contestant in the Senior girls ' competition. Perhaps other Seniors feared Bar¬ bara would offer too stiff competition. Speaking very excellently on “Democracy versus Dictator¬ ship”. Barbara pointed out very clearly political organizations and totalitarian ideas that must be put down in order to insure freedom throughout the world. Her impromptu. “New Styles for Girls”, was both humorous and serious, express¬ ing the radical change in women’s apparel. In the Senior boys’ contest Jim Muir took top honours, speaking on “Networks for Television. Many of us. knowing very little about television, were enlightened considerably concerning the workings of television. In his impromptu. “Ideal Camping”. Jim related his interesting experiences at YV.C. 1. Cadet Camp last summer. The Junior girls’ contest was well supported with four entrants. Winning first place honours was Eva Fertaly. speaking for her first time at W.C.l. Eva presented in a clear voice, and in an interesting style, the life of Princess Elizabeth from her birth until her recent marriage. Choosing Leisure Time” as her impromptu. Eva gave us good and sound advice on how to spend our free moments. An excellent showing was present in the Junior boys’ competition as well. Donald Bates was the winner with his speech on “A Tour I Took”, lie presented in a free and easy manner an account of his trip through the western provinces and the northern states on his summer holidays last t ear. “My Camping Experience” was Donald ' s laugh- provoking impromptu, in which he told of his battle with the ants on a camping expedition. Although none of the winners at W.C.l. were successful in winning city honours, the experience they have gained will be an asset to them, and may create the necessary stimulus to future con¬ testants to carry Walkerville to the lop of the oratorical ladder.
