How does it feel to be a high school newspaper reporter assigned to cover the "Voice of Democracy Contest" at radio station KFJI on a snowy; November evening? This reporter's sentiments are really second-place when consid ering the anxiety of anticipation experienced by the seven contest ants. Our viewpoint was outside the broadcasting studio, where the can didates were seated, each await ing his or her turn to read their five minute length script. Each was introduced to the vast radio audience by emcee Jack Otter bein, Kamath Junior Chamber of Commerce representative. The first candidate to give his speech was John Vandenberg, son ot Judge and Mrs. David R. Van denberg. He is 17, and a senior at Sacred Heart Academy.

Jack Barry was slated as num ber two. From Merrill High School this 17-year-old senior stated he worked on his speech nearly four weeks. Mrs. Frances Kortjre was his adviser, and his speech was selected from the class. When asked If he was excited, he stat ed, "Yes." His future plans In clude college. - - Third to speak was Charles Pat terson from ejilchrlst. He Is 16 years of age, and a senior at Gil christ High School. Miss Houston was his instructor for the speech which he worked on approximate ly one week. Charles plans to join the Navy upon graduation. When asked if he was excited, he re plied, "Yes, very."

Mrs. 'Betty ' Chatwood was Norman's adviser. He would like to go to college to study for a teaching job. Larry Fergeson, former KUHS student, followed as contestant number five. Larry was one of two sophomores in the contest, and the only sophomore entrant from Henley High School. He was chos en to represent his school out ot entrants from both the Junior and senior classes. He received no aid Irom teachers, but it was his Eng lish teacher's idea to enter. Lar y wasn't particularly excited, he commented. He has planned to enter the University of Oregon upon graduation, to study law. Margaret Rodgers was chosen from seven contestants to speak for Bonanza High School. She is 16 years of age, and a senior at Bonanza. She prepared her speech for five days, and Mrs. JoAnna Given was her instructor.

As perfect liostess I've earned mj title But Just among friends I'm a fal len Idol. A FOREST PALACE By Jo Ann Geiss My home is in a valley small, With mountains all around. (It's a forest bordered hall) With a pretty flowered carpet , Below towering emerald walls. With a Mother and a Father, And little brother too. It isn t any bother To love the rest of you I ; "MY SISTER" . By Racmarie Neal Graceful, loving, gentle, and sweet. Deserving the prayers of all. With humble works and charity, My sister heeds her call. Unconscious of her helping ways, Of her words that lift the heart. Of unmarred beauty, pure and sweet, In my life great has been her part. Encouragement when I have been in doubt. Her prayers have helped my soul, A life as pure, unselfish, and fine, Is now my desired goal. Example is a wonrerful thing, It proves' you do what you say. Her life to me is a living truth. As I think of my sister today. HIGH-SCHOOL f Y r . - ij, -it ONE OF KLAMATH Union High's few long-haired Senior girls is Lillian Gratzer.
