Mr. Thatcher Allred, Adviser Cordelia Niland Doris Owens Helen Grix Those Who Use The Right Weber students do not practice speaking by the seashore against the roar of the waves with pebbles in their mouths as Demosthenes once did-however, conditions are closely paralleled. Speech students seem to specialize in wads of Spearmint while practicing their speeches on unwary friends. Their appearances at assemblies and in contests are, however, entirely adequate, as is demonstrated by excellent placings in tournaments and by interested audiences during assemblies. LaMar Buckner, one of the returning sophomore speakers, scored a hit in the speech division of the Regional Phi Rho Pi tournament when he obtained a first place in extemp and second place in impromptu speech. Of Free Speech Wayne Carver tied with Buckner for the first place in extemporaneous speaking. Rex McEntire, another sophomore, took oratory honors in competition with Weber students and first place in the regional tournament. Carl White won first place in poetry, John Dixon second in extemp, and Frank Wahlquist third honors in impromptu speaking. Raymond Saunders won a third place in impromptu. A number of Weber students placed in the poetry festival at the U. S. A. C, Carl White winning the sweepstakes award for the best all around performance. The annual Barker Extempore Contest was conducted with all the usual ceremonies, the Sophomores being represented by Rex McEntire and LaMar Buckner, and the Freshmen by Frank Wahlquist and John Dixon. John Dixon was declared the winner, his speech considering America after the war.
