Show CARL STOREY DOUGLAS LEISHMAN RUSSELL PETTY The Rich Contest Another RICH ORATORICAL CONTEST has become history. It will long remain vivid in the minds of all who heard it because of the current nature of the subjects and the splendid manner in which they were delivered. In making this contest possible Dr. E. I. Rich brands himself as one of Ogden's foremost citizens. It is events of this nature that stimulate within students the incentive to climb higher, to gain a high and honorable position among their fellowmen. First place was awarded to Mr. Carl Sandstrom of the 0. H. S., who commendably treated the subject, "Liberty and the American People." Second honors were officially awarded to Mr. Douglas Leishman of Weber, who with the polish and delivery of a seasoned orator, admirably treated the subject, "War and the American People." Third place was given to Mr. Carl Storey of Weber, who talked on "American War Aims." When the talismen tabulated the decisions of the judges, they averaged the percentages and awarded the places accordingly. This procedure has been abandoned in state contests because of the fact that one judge marks on a high basis and one on a low, making decisions unjust. In former years the present state rules have been adhered to in the Rich contest; that is, computing the final result on the points acquired in each judge's individual first, second and third places. Had this plan been followed Mr. Leishman would have been awarded first place. Since it is not so, Weber is a true sport and accepts the decision as rendered. Year-Secrets will out into the light of common day through the "dignity of history" as again the year's experience repeats maxim |
