Title
L.H.S.D.S 1916 Maurice John Saletra Silver Debate Trophy
Silver trophy engraved with "L.H.S.D.S 1916 Maurice John Saletra" across the front. "WALLACE BROS. SILVER CO" is also engraved on the bottom along with an unclear marking that might read "V1707". The Wallace Brothers Silver Company is one name for the company started by Robert Wallace in 1835 in Wallingford, Connecticut. The trophy was won by Maurice John Saletra (see Saletra Family file) for winning a debate at Lawrence High School in 1916. "L.H.S.D.S" likely stands for Lawrence High School Debate and Speech. The trophy is roughly 6" tall and roughly 7" wide when accounting for dents caused by wear over time.
