About 40 Kansas high schools were represented at the competitive festival, which began at 8:00 a.m. and concluded about 5:00 p.m.
STUDENTS participating in Saturday's state contest have previously won a first division rating in their respective district contests, which were held in March and entitled them to come to the state festival.
The high school students performed competitively in the following areas of speech and drama: one act plays; duet acting; readings; oral interpretation of both poetry and prose; extempore speech; original oration, and informative speech.
"THIS IS THE CLIMAX of all these different events in the speech and drama departments in Kansas high schools for the year," said E. A. McFarland, who managed the festival through KU extension.
The festival was sponsored by the Kansas State High School Activities Association.
"Here at the University, we simply host the event," McFarland said. "It's one of the fine events that comes to the campus."
