THE ORATORICAL CONTEST
UGHOUT the year those students interested in public speaking
developed excellent speeches, which they .presented in competition
for the Larry Davidow Oratorical Contest. Increased interest in public
speaking bringing out a greater number of competitors, the Oratorical
contest again proves its merits as a worth-while undertaking.
The Davidow prizes were awarded to Richard Sherod, who took first place with
his powerful oration on "Disarmament," and to Clarence \Vylie.
Helen Jo Baldwin was awarded first place among the women. Her subject
was "Values."
