ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW
ORATORICAL ASS N.
HAS GOOD SESSION
On last Friday evening. April 24,
John Tarleton Agricultural College
entertained the annual meet for this
district, number 3, of the “Junior Col-
lege Oratorical Association of Texas.”
This district is composed of Weather-
ford College, Decatur Baptist College,
Thorp Spring Christian College, Me-
ridian College and John Tarleton Ag-
ricultural College. President Boger
of Weatherford College is president
of the State organization and Miss
Lillie V. Lillard of John Tarleton Ag-
ricultural College is its secretary-
treasurer. President Boger presided
at the district meet and Miss Dun-
can, head of the Expression depart-
ment of Meridian College, acted as
secretary. President Boger in his
opening address to the assembly was
enthusiastic about the future of the
organization in its relation to college
work, and was very complimentary to
Miss Lillard for the interest she has
taken in the work this year. He stat-
ed that through her efforts, largely,
the enrollment in the organization is
greater this year than it has ever be-
fore been. The meet last week was
probably the most enthusiastic district
meet ever held in this district.
/ The orations delivered showed the
handiwork of the different contest-
ants. They were original composit-
ions and all gave evidence of concen-
trated effort and intensive thought on
the part of the contestant. All show-
ed, also, a determination to place this
phase of college work on a more
popular plane with the various stud-,
ent bodies, and it is the concensus of
opinion among college people that the
time is ripe for public acknowledge-
ment of such effort, acknowledgement
similar to that being accorded to ath-
letes.
Roy Ward, a junior in John Tarle-
ton College, won first place in boys’
contest, while Mr. Vivrac of Weath-
erford College won second place. The
winning oration was “Marriage and
Divorce Evils of the United States.”
and showed clearly and succinctly
“The Impending Danger of the Imme-
diate Future." Mr. Vivrac used as
his subject “Carry On” which partook
of a moral tone.
In girls’ orations Weatherford was
more fortunate, winning first place,
while Tarleton won second. Miss
Elizabeth Leach represented Weather-
■f3rd~wItK ”X IJefehsF of the Modern
Girl.” She had prepared a strong de-
fense and it was well delivered. Her
yrtea was for time and for a holding
up of judgment until the finished pro-
duct—the woman of tomorrow—may
be seen. Miss Loraine Yarbrough of
Tarleton won second place in this con-
test with “The Life That Counts.” She
showed conclusively that such a life
must be helpful, courteous, active,
sympathetic, and, above all, that it
must be well-trained within itself.
John Tarleton Colege having won
the district contest in boys’ orations
is entitled to, and will, entertain the
State meet which will be held in the
auditorium Friday, May 8. Only first
place winners in their “Respective dis-
tricts are permitted to enter this con-
test. Tarleton has been Very fortun-
ate in her district. In four years she
has represented the boys’ division
each year, and last year Mias Mary
Nell Rea of Tarleton represented the
girls of the district, winning the
State medal at Lon Morris College.
Only district two has as yet sent no
notifications of its winners. North
Texas Agricultural College and Wes-
ley College will represent district 1.
From district 4 will come representa-
tives of Wayland and Clarendon Col-
lege. With such a number of con-
testants a very enthusiastic meet in
the State contest is expected this year.
