He was the sec- speaker on the program and he lnum:hed lnm his oration with a dlml hat commanded absolute mmon e part of his packed nudl~ ence that jammed into the hall to hear the contest. Suddenly, it seemed Blackwell's speech was lost to his memory. He fought to recover and his audience gave vent to audible expressions of sympathy and despair. He thrust his hand into his pocket and drew out his manuscript. A fleeting glance and he picked up the thread he sought. A trace of smill flit- ted across his features and as he jam- med the papers back into his pocket his e narrowed for the battle ahead of well carried on and h actually was remarkable. There was no more apparent nervousness, but com- plete mastery. His voice resounded in the packed hall and his audience snap- | ped into its former attention, conscious that a real orator was putting up the fight of the night. Parenthetically, it might be observed here that a falter such as Blackwell made is not necessarily to be counted gainst a contestant. The official rules which govern the conduct of the com- petitions provide no penaity and the entire matter is left in the hands of the judges. Miss Campbell Second. Miss Campbell, who was adjudged winner of second honors, spoke on the ame subject, “The Present Significance recovery introductory he remarked that it is re- freshing to see a group of young per- sons seriously considering the Constitu- tion at a time “we are allowing a mi- nority to select the heads of our Gov- ernment for us.” He recalled that one of the first celebrations of the framing of the Constitution was held in the old tavern only a few blocks away from the Alexandria High School auditorium, and declared he hoped, in view of Vir- ginia’s close association with the Con- stitution’s preparation, that that State would be represented in the interna- tional contest next Fall. Music for the meeting was provided by Sydney Snelling’s Orchestra, the Varsity Melody Boys, and last night it was directed by Walter Drury, a stu- dent of the Alexandria High School. After the regular contest program was completed, the orchestra played lively dance numbers and the entire audience was invited to remain for the informal dance.
