Four more schools have picked their representatives in the coming forensic ) battles of the sixth National Oratorical Contest in The Star's area, according to announcements received from Mary- land and private and parochial school | districts today. | John Dudley Digges, a senior La Plata High School, and George | Choporis of the River Spring High | School, both veterans of last year's con- test in Maryland, were victorious again | in the eliminations by which were de- | termined the spokesmen for their re- spective schools in the group phase of the contest. ‘Two newcomers to the field of oratory | were chosen in the school finals at St. Cecilia’s Academy, where Miss Marie McCray won, and at St. John's College, where James But=h was adjudged vic- | tor. These schools are enrolled in the | private and parochial school “district.” ' Championship Honors at Stake. | Each of the four school winners an- nounced today will represent his school in competition with groups of five school victors when the contenders for their “district” championships will | be determined. The district champions are the orators who compete in The Star finals for the right to represent | this newspaper in the national finals in the Washington Auditorium in May and who, by virtue of that representa- tion, will travel to South America for | three months. Miss McCray, the St. Cecilia's winner, | is the first girl so far this year to be- come eligible for the interschool stages |of the contest. She is the 16-year-old | daughter of Mr. and Mrs, William V. | McCray, 122 Twelfth street southeast, and in her school finals she won dis- tinction with her oration, “The Citizen; His Rights Under the Constitution.” ‘While Miss McCray's father is a me- chanical engineer, she has no particular desire to enter the technical feld on the trail blazed by other young women re- cently. She plans to take a business course following her graduations in June so that she may become a secre- tary. Contestant Just Within Age Limit. Young Butch, in whom St. John's College vests its hopes this year, is just within the age limit of 19 years. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard E. Butch, 4720 Fifteenth street. In the St. John's finals Butch won the de- cision of the judges with his speech on “The Constitution and the Individual.” Although he never before participated ! in the contest, or, for that matter, ever attempted public speaking, Butch has the advantage of singing experience to fortify him before an audience. He sang for six years when a boy in St. Patrick’s Church Choir, and today he uses his voice in the rendition of popu- lar songs about the District. He proposes to study law at the Uni- versity of Florida, after which he will practice corporation law. The judges of St. John's finals were Brother Paul, principal of the school; Brother Giles, director of De La Salle Auxiliary, and Brother Paul, editor of Christian Brothers. Philip Hannan, 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick F. Hannan, 1501 Seventeenth street, was chosen alternate to Butch with his oration on “The Pres- ent Significance of the Constitution.” Hannan is a sophomore at St. John's, and while he won second honors this year, he is storing up experience for the contest during the next two years, he still 1s eligible for competition. La Plata School Champion. Young Digges, champion of La Plata High SgchooL won his school victory at the subsequent group meet last year also. In his group contest this year he again will face one of his opponents in the 1928 contest in George Choporis, the River Spring champion, who re- peated his victory of a year ago. The La Plata school finals were held in the school’s auditorium which was filled with a capacity audience. Milton Somers, principal, presided at the meet and members of the school faculty served as judges. Stanley Hancock, also a senior at La Plata, was chosen alternate to Digges. ‘The Star finals, to which every school winner in this newspaper's con- test area is striving, will be held April 25. It is that meet, which always has been judged by men and women prom- inent in governmental, educational, pro- fessional and business circles, which is to determine which boy or girl of the District of Columbia, Maryland or Vir- ginia, will receive an additional cash award of $200 and the grand prize of \ the South American tour. in | is this— service to its customers | Left to right: James Butch of St. John's College, Marie McCray of St. Cecilia’s Academy and John Dudley Digges of | SPONSORS NAMED FOR NOTED CHOIR Advance Lists for Foreign Tour Announced by Mrs. E.
