Extemporaneous Speaking During the past year, XYest High participated for the first time in the state wide activity of High School extemporaneous speaking. Although this was the lirst experience in anything of the kind. better suc- cess could not be hoped for. About the Iirst of March Five boys. Earl London, Merle Francis, Kenneth Iiistner, Max Levingston and john Corson were given trials in speaking upon sub- jects that tli:-y had drawnztive hours before and 'Max Levingston was selected to represent Vvest high in the district contest to be held in our assembly Saturday, March 13. In this contest seven schools competed, namely, Dubuque. Osage. Iowa Falls, Farlville, Marshalltown. Charles City and XYest Waterloo. This time only two hours were given to prepare the new subjects drawn from the list. Levingston drew the subject of Universal Military Training and again emerged victorious from the cotnest vith Iowa Falls second, and Charles City third. A bronze medal was awarded to Max Levingston. and also to 'XYilma Robert- son of Iowa Falls. The next and last contest of the year was the State contest at Iowa City, in which the winners of the various district contests competed. At two o'clock Max drew the subject Intervention of Mexico by the United States, and by four o'clock had his speech prepared. Ile and Morris Steinberg. Fort Dodge, re- ceived the highest honors in the preliminaries and at seven o'clock they com- peted in the natural science auditorium for the state championship, Max talking on the subject of 4Xmericanism Our representative received first honors with Steinberg a close second. Both contestant received awards in the form of medals and scholarships in the University of Iowa. Much credit is due Miss Baker and Mr. Swisher for their work in training both Max Levingston and Marguerite Sexton, state declamation champion. And it is largely through their etiorts that Mest Highs speakers of 1920 were of State championship calibre. -R. E. H. 22. ljugv one lnuzdrfd and sigh!
