The fourth contender for the Mary- land championship was chosen at La Plata last night, when Z. Maccubbin Waters, 3d, of Charlotte Hall School, won the decision with his oration on “The Development of the Constitution.” The 18-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. | Waters of Gaithersburg, was adjudged | winper by a board of three judges com- | posed of Dr. Charles Marsh, professor of economics at American University Miss Phyllis Wilson, instructor at the Marjorie Webster School of Expression, | Washington, and J.

The La Plata group meet last night was hard fought and the victorious Waters of the Charlotte Hall School won neatly, but not too overwhelmingly, inst John Dudley Digges, La Plata | audience to view power on the distant walls. He dropped his voice again, however, and lifted its power later, only to give emphasis to his oratory. Waters spoke for 8 minutes and 10 seconds, and then he took his | seat, where he smiled encouragement to his next opponent. Digges walked from his chair to the front of the stage amid thunderous ap- plause. He was the “home” man in' last night's contest, held in the audi- torium of his own school. He whipped out into his oration on “The Constitu- | tion” with much the same style that carried him into the State finals of | the contest last year. There was the | same quivering intensity and earnest- ness, but there was also a more mature control, which represented a year's im- | provement. | Digges undertook a difficult task in his_speech when he appealed to his with him an im- aginary picture of the constitutional| convention. He fixed his eyes ! | while he painted, word by | | speaker, who appeared the strongest other contender for the decision. The meet was opened by H. Holland ; | Hawkins, president of the La Plata Board of Town Commissioners, who in his introductory declared the plan of the contest has advantages not only for the contestants but for the entire stu- dent bodies from which the actual com- petitors are chosen. He presented Miss Anne A. Burdette of the Glasva High School as the first speaker. Miss Burdette spoke on “The Citizen— His Privileges and Duties Under the Constitution” with a directness and clearness that was highly pleasing. Her voice was pleasant and unforced, while her pronunciation and enunciation were accurate without labor. She used only 6 minutes and 10 seconds of her time and she resumed her seat upon the stage at the conclusion of her speech with the graceful poise which had char- | acterized her entire oration. | Willlam Wilroy of the Lackey High School of Indian Head next took the stage to talk for exactly 8 minutes upon the same subject which had opened the meet. Wilroy stood with his hands clasped behind his back during his entire speech, while he gave variety to his general posture by moving a few paces to the right or to the left at intervals. His voice was strong and his tension was fairly high, while his seri- ousness in the business at hand was characterized by deep frowns. Youngest Speaker on List. Miss Elizabeth Wolfe of the Hughes- | ville High School was the third contest- | ant to offer her bid for victory, and | she did it with a youthful bravery that commanded admiration. She was the youngest speaker on the program, and her voice almost childish as it Arcade Market Facilities season—and the best of the commod- ities.
