Oratory Every year our interest in oratory grows greater, and every year our success becomes more marked. Preliminary to the big orations of the year, the Barker Effective Speaking Contest was held. The Seniors won first place in the con- test with the College coming a close second. The College lead in the number of first places. The next contest was the Heber J. Grant Oratorical Contest. It was a source of much interest to all the students and the subject, "The Past Is Full of Glory and the Future Full of Promise," was inspirational and faith-promoting. Leon Bush won the High School Contest and Georgia Tate, the only College student participating, took the honors for the College. We are certain that President Grant is pleased with our efforts along this line. We again won the Rich contest. Mr. Delbert Wright's speech on Disarmament won first place, while Messrs. Silverstein and McKinnon of High School, speaking on the Soldier Bonus and Irish Liberty, won second and third places, respectively. Weber's other representatives were Mr. Robert Newman and Miss Gladys Green. Their speeches were excellent, and were deserving of great credit. The Sons of the American Revolution Contest was won by Miss Ruth Scowcroft, Junius Tribe and Robert Newman won second and third places, respectively. This is our second year in this contest and we were indeed proud of the students who won all three places for Weber. Our interest in Oratory and Public Speaking cannot do us other than good. We, through our efforts in this line of work, are enabled to become better speakers and better thinkers. The citizens who have made these contests possible are doing a work which will greatly benefit the High School students of today. |
