§SP S «I n Sandra Van Dusen Each year there are students who make up speeches for the Bryant Oratorical com¬ petitions and this year was no exception, Terry O ' Crane, Percine Maltby, and Ed Magas all made their contribution. On the day of the eliminations the whole student body went into the Gym. After the Eddy Magas singing of O ' Canada, the speeches began. Eleanor Dudar, our senior pin presided over the proceedings, and intro¬ duced Terry O ' Crane as the first speaker of the afternoon. Terry Had chosen to speak on the United Nations and also some of the work done in our present times. Terry explained the different departments of this World Organization and gave a few of the duties of each department. The next speaker of the afternoon was Miss Percine Maltby with her topic Ghosts . For fourteen minutes Percine held the audience spell¬ bound with the idea of the supernatural. Percine explained some of the ancient beliefs of pagan religions and also explained how people of the past believed in these spirits and how they had used vile means to conquer them. The last speaker of the afternoon was Eddy Magas who had chosen to speak on a topic which is much in the news today Cuba . Eddy gave the history of this small island from its early beginnings to its present day status in the world. When Eddy ' s speech was over the judges retired to determine the winner. When they returned they had decided that Eddy Magas was the one to go on to the finals. I might add that the speeches were all very good. They were all well delivered and prepared. To the other constentants goes our wish that they will compete in next years contest. We would like to extend our congratulation to Eddy. Percine Maltby V

The centre of attention was focused upon the gayly decorated stage. A table was set up in one corner, bearing trophies, awards, and plaques, Janet Mantay] and balanced on the other side by a Grand piano. Various brightly coloured trees, were set up on the stage while huge gold letters reading Fiftieth Year Awards ' Night were hung on the curtain of the back.
