Show Kiwanis Club Has Patriotism Oration Saturday Evening "America Calls" an oration by Carolyn Williams, a native of North Wales, now attendnig BYU, was the fare at the Kiwanis Ki-wanis Club meeting last Saturday Satur-day evening. Other special guests at the meeting were Mr. and Mrs. Richard Warnick. President Elvin Carson read a brief history of his wife, Lea-tha, Lea-tha, adding special emphasis on her abilities to tear out walls, remodel his home, and a claimed claim-ed championship as a milker of wild cows. Cornell Haynie recited some of the background history of his wife, Karla. Karla, as everyone ev-eryone knows, is a very accomplished accom-plished musician. She was organist or-ganist in her ward at Sanford, Colorado at age 6. Mrs. Haynie has studied under some of the most prominent piano instructors instruc-tors in the West. Miss Carolyn Williams gave her "America Calls" oration, which won the Heber J. Grant Oratorical Contest. In her oratory ora-tory she compared freedom-robbing freedom-robbing minority groups with cockroaches, who are eating at the principles of freedom in America. "The youth of America Am-erica are feeding these cockroaches cock-roaches with apathy,"- Miss Williams commented. She said that as a British citizen, she is not able to join in our Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. In her heart, however, she thrills with us in this rite, and feels a keen kinship with those who participate. She stressed that we should not only sing the songs of America, but to stop and listen, for America is calling us. Miss Williams pleasing, precise pre-cise delivery, polished gestures and effective use of her hands made it obvious why she would be victorious in her oration. A recording of Paul Harvey's views and impressions of his visit to BYU during their Torchlight Torch-light for Freedom Week, was also played for the group. |
