Qkill Built Through Deolam Experience Communication and interpretation were essential to declamation participants. Through expressive presentation of ma- terials, speakers attempted to achieve involvement of audiences and iudges. Humorous and serious interpretation, extemporaneous speaking and reading, discussion, original and non-original oratory, and storytelling were the areas open to students. Through preparing and practicing their selections, members increased their speaking skills. After school eliminations, speakers participated in practice tournaments. Students who qualified went on to com- pete in district and regional contests. Hours of searching and cutting are done by Patti O'Neill and Sara Kuether as they prepare their speeches for the first tournament.
