The following appeared in the Rock County Herald on February 23, 1923:
KIWANIS CLUB TO GIVE SILVER CUP TO SCHOOLS
Will be Used as a Trophy for Which Seniors and Juniors Will Annually Debate
Purchase and presentation to the Luverne high school of a silver cup as a trophy for which the Senior and Junior classes will debate, was authorized at the Luverne Kiwanis club.
This trophy is to remain in the possession of the Luverne schools from year to year, and the two classes above named will annually compete for it under conditions to be outlined by the superintendent of the schools.
A committee was named to purchase the silver cup, and it is hoped to secure one large enough so that the names of the winner and the year may be engraved upon it from year to year.
The purpose of the club in presenting the cup to the high school is to promote greater interest among the pupils in declamatory work and public speaking.
Members of the Senior and Junior classes are highly enthusiastic over the new arrangement, and the first interclass event for the cup, which will be held sometime during the spring, is certain to create much interest.
