The auditorium of the Bethesda High | School, for all its attractive floral deco- | rations. was a veritable hotbed of ora- |tory and vocal acclamation. Half an hour before the meeting was opened by | T W.

Digges talked on. and as the last 10 seconds of his time were passing. the whistle which would have blasted him to silence was poised for use. . Just as the second hand swung into the final bar of 10 seconds Digees bowed a_graceful conclusion. ‘Then came Dennis. Launching his speech with a quiet, businesslike voice the Georgetown Prep spokesman fell into & dramatic delivery of his oration on “The Present Significance of the Constitution.” Standing with feet apart, leaning slightly forward and with his shoulder bent as though in combat, | Dennis carried on. Somehow. though, for all his “fighting stance,” this orator seemed to lack some of the fire of other orators on the program. In 8 minutes and 50 seconds Dennis had delivered 7ie sneech and resumed his seat to await the decision A musi~al selection followed the lasy oration. Then Oliver Owen Kuhn, news manager of The Star. rose to mak~ awards already won in earlier stages of the contest by each speaker on the pro- gram. Indicating the lone girl and the four boys with a slight gesture, Mr. Kuhn declared them to be five reasons why Maryland should be proud. With brief commendation for them. who. he said. had spoken sufficiently for themselves, Mr. Kuhn reminded his audience that they were five of the 2.500,000 American high school stu- denfs who were at this time studying their Constitution and spreading re- spect tor its doctrines “When this vast army of youth is king throughout the lanz on Am: s Constitution,” Mr. Kuhn declaret we oldsters mus: rededicate ourselves to American principles and to American oatriotism.” American Security & Trust Company Federal-American National Bank Franklin National Bank Liberty National Bank Lincoln National Bank Merchants Bank & Trust Company Farmers & Mechanics National Bank Munsey Trust Company Still referring to the youthful orators of the Nation and to the work they were accomplishing, Mr. Kuhn intro- duced Randolph Leigh, founder of the contest and its general director, as “the man most responsible for this wave of patriotism.” Mr. Leigh, who was seated on the stage, rose in acknowledgment of the rising vote of appreciation which the audience gave him. _Then, with a word of greeting to each of the five orators, the news man- ager of The Star handed The Star's check for $20 to each of the four boy: and the girl. As he presented th check to Muldowney—who at that mo- ment did not know that the judges were balloting him winner—Mr. Kuhn recalled that he hails from the same school which sent “Aleck” Loker into last year's contzst to win the cham- [l plonship of this whole region. He vaid tribute to Loker, who was hidden away down in the audience, as “the sterling type of young American manhood which is preaching this gospel of patriotism.” || At last the decision was ready and Senator Tydings faced the tense audi- ence, his the evident pent-up enthusiasm of the meet. A wee bit of jollying first. and the Senator announced Muldowney inner. Bedlam and pandemonium broke!
