Show Oratory "Veni, vidi, vici"-I came, I saw, I conquered. This historical ejaculation of Caesar's well describes the ascendancy of King Oratory at Weber. For a number of years this forensic activity has been the center of intellectual attraction and interest, and thru the addition of further contests this year, it has become even further traditionalized in the curriculum of the school. The first contest of the year was of an intra-school nature. Junius Tribe, the winner, received the autographed book given by President Grant. A pleasing innovation of the year was the addition of another intellectual battle with the 0. H. S. This was fostered by the Kiwanis Club and Miss Venna Deamer, representing Weber, was awarded first place. Mr. George Cragun of Weber received third place. Miss Deamer's speech "The Anti-American Immigrant-America's Greatest Danger" was printed in the National Kiwanis magazine. In the Dr. Ed. I. Rich contest Weber won all three places. Athol Tribe received first prize with an oration on "World Distress and American Opportunity"; Junius Tribe second, his subject being "The Onward March of American Progress"; and Leonard Wright third, with an address on "Law Enforcement-The Guardian of American Democracy." The Sons of American Revolution Contest was also won by Weber, Leonard Wright receiving first place with his subject on "Law Enforcement-The Bulwark of American Government." While the flash of victory has been enjoyed, the coaches have placed main emphasis upon getting all students to take part. Every student "tried out" in the President Grant contest and a large number competed for the other school teams. The value of this activity, therefore, cannot be, in the least, determined by the victories, but by the actual development of all who have engaged in the combats. Each "battle" has upheld the high standards set by past years and the quality of the work has helped the morale of the school. Prominent educators have testified that Weber's oratory is equal to any school of like scholastic standing and that it generally excels. Congratulations to the orators, coaches and school! May the 1923 season be replete with as many speakers and as brilliant victories. |
