Kansan high school speech festival sets record at University
Nearly 300 students from 48 Kansas high schools competed in the annual Speech and Drama festival at the University of Kansas. Wyandotte High School won first division in radio drama, with many schools earning first and second division ratings across one act plays, after-dinner speaking, prose readings, and humorous readings. The event awards were presented by the Kansas High School Activities Association, with multiple students named for top ratings. A separate note reports Clyde Dudley Blount, Jetmore banker, died after a long career.
