Two Cleveland County students battled with words at the American Legion’s oratorical contest. Crest High School junior Allie MacArthur and Burns High School sophomore Savannah McGlothlin used their knowledge of the United States Constitution to compete with one another for a cash prize, medals and a chance at heading to the district level of the contest on Jan. 9. MacArthur's oration was on "A Modern Constitution and Your Duty." McGlothlin’s oration title was "What Compromise Means to the Constitution." “Both young ladies gave outstanding speeches with Savannah McGlothlin taking top honors, and Allie MacArthur was awarded second place,” read a release from American Legion Post 82.
