Robert Bradley of Hyattsville ngh{ School last night won the champion- | ship of Prince Georges County, Md., in | the Tenth National Oratorical Contest: in a spirited competition at Upper% riboro. s ‘meeting at which Bradley won | over three competitors with his oration : on “Leaders in the Constitutional Con- vention,” was marked by & warning from Randolph Leigh, director general of the contest, that slashes in school . budgets weaken the electorate by re its essential education. ~Mr. Leigh, an interested spectator of th: Prince Georges County finals, was pre- sented to the audience by Dr. Nicholas Orem, superintendent of Prince Georges County schools, and he responded with a brief talk. St. Marys Finals Tonight. Tonight the St. Marys County finals will be held at Charlotte Hall, when four school spokesmen will compete for the championship of that county. The St. Marys County finalists and their respective orations in the order in which they will speak, follow: Selgi Remi Diab of Charlotte Hall, *QOrigins of the Constitution.” Louise Jones of St. Mary's Female Seminary, “The Citizen—His Dutles and Privileges Under the Constitution.” Joseph Brennon Payne of Margaret Brent High School, “The Makers of the Constitution.” William Sterling of St. Mary's Acad- emy, “Our Duties to the Constitution in Crises.” Dr. Charles V. Hayden of Leonard- town will preside and the judges will be Dr. M. W. Dickerson, M. M. Mc- Callip, and Allison R. Williams. Wins Gold Medal By his victory last night at Marl- ‘boro, Robert Bradley won a gold medal, emblematic of the county champion- ship and the right to enter the Mary- land State finals, which will be held at La Plata April 29. Bradley's fellow contenders in the State finals will be Haylett B. Shaw of the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, champion of Mont- gomery County, and the champlons of St. Marys and Charles Counties. In his speech last night, Bradley dis- cussed the roles which James Madison, Gouverneur Morris, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington played in the convention which produced the Con- stitution. He showed how each of the famous patriots contributed his own peculiar talents toward the success of the Constitution, in such a way that each was essential to the final success of the instrument. Bradley’s cratory was moderately | S rapid and was marked by a minimum of well placed gestures. He spoke for 5 minutes 26 seconds. Lucille Goodwin of the Oxon Hill High School won second honors and position of official alternate to Bradley with her speech on “Lincoln and the Constitution.” Miss Goodwin's per- formance was of high order and in the rating of the judges, she was separated from the first place by a single point. In her speech, which required only 4 minutes 59 seconds for delivery, she ac- corded Lincoln the distinction of having saved the Constitution by saving the Union and, at the same time of having saved the Union through the Constitu- tlon. She spoke with good inflection and sincere feeling. Other contenders for the Prince Georges County championship were Margaret Halfpap of the Maryland Park High School and Margaret Bal- lard of the Marlboro High School. Miss Halfpap made a strong bid with her oration on “The Constitution, the Guide of the People,” and in it she traced the passage of the United States through its numerous emergencies, with complete and successful reliance u the Constitution for guidance. he spoke for 4 minutes 35 seconds. Miss Ballard sought victory with her speech on “Voting, a Privilege Under the Con- stitution.” In a simple, direct manner marked by earnestness, she pleaded not only for a voting citizenry, but an in- formed citizenry that kept abreast of the times. Her speaking time was 4 minutes 55 seconds. Judges in the Prince Georges finals were Arthur Flemming of the Ameri- can University faculty, Norman Nelson, assistant principal of Western HMigh School in Washington, and Miss Sue Gardner, teacher of dramatics at West- e High School. Speaks in Interval. Mr. Leigh was introduced while the Sudges were writing their ballots. Re- ferring to the National Oratorical Con- test, which Dr. Orem had told the audience now is in the midst of its tenth annual presentation, Mr. Leigh declared that while for nine years millions of American boys and girls have been studying and talking about the abstracts of government, about its theories and principles, this year the Nation ftself putting to actual test in determined practice the very theories which have been the subject of the contest speeches. An informed elec- torate, he said, is essential to democ- racy, and during the 10 years of its operation the national oratorical con- test has had for its purpose the in- spiring of interest in and the spread- ing of knowledge of the Constitution and good government. Referring momentarily to the_ eco- nox;uc stress in government, Mr. Leigh said: You cannot reduce educational bud- gets—you cannot treat education like a cake, to be sliced down to the end— without weakening the electorate upon which this Nation depends for its sur- vival. This contest, therefore, should 1's Bigger, Better and Cheaper Guarantesd by the House of Kitt and its makers— v — G STREET T 1 ROBERT BRADLEY. be a hook-up with the achools in pro- moting knowledge of government and its principles. The message of this con- test, then, is to unite teachers and pupils in calling upon all the people whom we can get to attend these com- petitions, not to simply stampede in think and to think carefully of the arlnclplu held forth by the Constitu- on.” | In his introductory to { meeting, Dr. Orem pointed out that more than 7,000,000 American boys and girls had studied the United States Government to the point where they were able to stand on their feet and talk intelligently about it in their par- ticipation in the annual National Ora- torical Contest. He paid tribute, too, to The Washington Star, the newspaper sponsor of the contest in Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia, for “doing something worth while for the citizenry of the country.” program was completed with singing by the Marlboro High School Glee Club.
