4-way speech contest

This morning we heard the 4-way speech contest. It's a contest of four high school students who are judged based on their content, organization, delivey and application of Rotary's four-way test.

That's Rex Teets, our connection to the school, on the left.

The subjects were very interesting, and included high school drop-outs and the drain they cause to the economy; how the 14th ammendment benefits illegal immigrants (presented by a young man with a great deal of suppressed rage); teenage over-reliance on computers and lack of socialization from too much television; and the impact of anorexia and bulimia on a person's health.

The young man with the suppressed rage won the contest, just edging out Miss Anorexia/Bulimia. He will go on to speak at the district level in two weeks.
