The William H Crippen American Legion Post of Humboldt held the finals for our local Oratory contest recently at West Central High School.
Three students who each received First Place in their respective class contests competed for the Grand Prize of $400 and will compete on Sunday, January 13, in Humboldt at the District 7 Oratory contest. That winner will advance to the State Oratory finals after the Mid-Winter American Legion Conference at the Cedar Shore Resort in Oacoma.
Rachel Schartz, center, was our winner this year and will be our candidate at the District contest. Elizabeth Renner, left, was the second place winner and Melissa Voss, right, was the third place winner. We thank them all for their efforts and interest in the Constitution.
