Glasgow played host to the 1976 District Speech & Drama Meet on January 31 .  Over 20 towns were in attendance and competition was keen. The first 5 place finishers in each event {six in debate) earn a trip a trip to the state speech meet in Malta on Feb. 60-7.
Poplar's team was full, no vacancies, a rather rare occurrence for any town. We brought home the third place trophy, with Miles City taking second and Dawson County of Glendlve was first.  Standings are maintained separately for Class A schools and Class B-C schools, however, our third place finish in the class A rank was also good for third place overall .  We were 7 points ahead of the B-C sweepstakes winner, Medicine Lake.

The 8 rating was grossly inconsistent with the other two, Had it been even a 6, Karen would have placed. 3. Dennis and Mark beat the debate team that placed third in state last year. 4.  Kris Moe actually tied for first place, but finished second due to a tie-breaking method.  5. Of the elaht finalists in Oral Interpretation, all had a total of 3,4 .5 or 6 after the preliminary rounds.  Jamie had 7 points which is usually more than adequate for making finals.  6.
