Excellent Talent at Declamatory Contest Seeing Sidney High shine at the declamatory event
One of the best Sidney High declamatory contests in history filled the school auditorium Tuesday night with top level oratory. Harry Marsl won first for Why We are At War With Germany, Evelena Gray took second with The College Woman in the Twentieth Century Home, and ZeUn Owens scored first with The Gypsy Flower Girl. The class chosen for Scottshlaft represented Sidney after a tie broke for Marjorie Wallick, who becomes the representative. Credit goes to Superintendent Braham, Ma Roettger, Miss Schmite, and Miss Anne Radcliffe for training. Mary Miller and Mrs Ahrens provided fine music with strong applause. Judges Tom Barron, Swenson, and Mrs Burgess praised the field as the keenest yet.
