The judges for the competition, Rev. G. McFarlane, Mrs. Marian Zinn and Mrs. Karla Hogan, were given a very difficult task in making their decision as all sixteen speakers made excellent presentations to the audience which filled the hall. When all was said and done, the first place winners, were, in the Grade 4 to 6 category, Adella Andrew and in the Grade 7 to 8 category, Tanya Sutherland. These two students will now advance to the Zone Level competitions to be held in Clinton this Saturday. Those competing on Friday in Lucknow included, in the Junior Division, Alesha Moffat of Lucknow Central; Becky Martin, St. Joseph's; Karen Lubbers, Lucknow District Christian; Michelle MacGillivray, Brookside; Adella Andrew from Brookside; Heidi Martin, St. Joseph's; Amy Sutherland, Lucknow Central; and Michelle Snieder, Lucknow District Christian.

Mr. Bud Thompson, Zone C-1 Chairman for. Youth Education, commented that although there could only be one winner from each division, all the speakers were winners in his eyes. Mr. Thompson presented each student with a prize and Mr. Irvine Eedy, Branch 309 Youth Educa- tion Chairman for the past 21 years, made the presentation of the trophies to the first place speakers. Congratulations to all the students who participated in this year's competition and best of luck to the local winners at the Clin- ton competition this weekend.
