Ann's Catholic Women's League, donated a plaque, upon which will be inscribed the names of the winners each year from now on. After spending a_ short time in the homes of the winners, the plaque will be displayed with other trophies at St. Joseph's. It will be returned to Laboureau Hall for next year's Public Speaking Contest. The judges for the contest were Father Joseph Harrington, Mrs. Anita Hill, and Miss. Augusta Boyer. Mrs. Gertrude Walker was the timekeeper. All contestants received a small token for their work and effort. Mts. DeVillers said a great deal of planning and preparation is required on the part of the parents, teachers and pupils in an event such as this. The public speech itself is a good learning experience, she said, in that it provides the opportunity for the contestants to stand up and speak to a live audience. Following the contest, refreshments were served, with Mrs. Alma Vaillancourt in charge. Mrs. Kay St. Amant, President of the Catholic Women's League then presented Father Harrington, in the ab- sence of the parish priest Father Dignard, with a cheque for $800, to be spent by Father Dignard on a project of his choice.
