I’age Twenly-four WOI.SX I v A NOZ I R A XIXKTEKN KI l-TKKN ORATORY S VK look lack on our Senior Year in High School there is one bright spot that vc view with greatest pleasure and pride, and that is our orations and our oratory. We arc, indubitably, the greatest class of orators in the world, and as such our record will stat'd in the halls of I ante of old High. Oratory i«. defined as the Art of Public Speaking, but f ir be it from me to speak of those wonderful flights of fancy, those original, startling and edifying flights, in any such mild terms. Although our illness excuses increased on rhetorical lay's and sonic of us were frequently absent on the days assigned it', nevertheless we were all great orators. ( Note past tense.) On days when impromptu speaking was indulged in we. one and all. would bravely arise, as though to Ik- executed, indulge in wild and frantic glances all around, and then gradually turn the most delicate, pale shade of green. In fact, many of the boys came near to choking to death on an Adams apple that they never knew they possessed previously. The flights of fancy and wonderful ideas would now come, stuttering and halting into the confined spaces of the Knglish room, accompanied by gestures that would do credit to the wooden actors in a Punch anil Judy show. Suddenly (happy thought) a brilliant idea, a magnificent idea, would come into our heads. Steadily, automatically, we would turn to Miss Clymer and shout, I've forgotten the rest. Some of us conquered our faults, some of ns never will. Oh! yes we were good Public Speakers all right.

Last ami certainly not least, our scholarship, as a class, is the peer of any class in school. Marriages and various other causes have depleted our class, but we have never lost a student for deficient scholarship. Our Athletic record is a proud one, and our Literary record a better one. YVe have edited two Annuals, the only two ever attempted in Winslow: one as Sophomores, one as Seniors. We believe that we have made great strides in two years, and trust that all others think the same. As to our disposition next year only the gods know. Sampson expects to attend New Mexico University; Weber goes to Cornell University. ami probably Gladys will go to Arizona University; 1.011 iso is to lie Domestic Arts Assistant, and Ramagc will continue in Business School. The rest, wherever they go. success. I
