Department, students may participate in several extracurricular activities: Yale Model United Nations and the North Haven Model Congress, Mr. DiStasio; and the American Legion Oratorical Contest, Mr. Platt. The participants in the North Haven Model Congress meet students from other high schools in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York. Student participants determine which committee they would like to serve on. They will then propose, debate, and vote on legislation. The format follows the actual legislative procedure of the state and federal levels, and therefore gives students variable experience in government. To participate in the Oratorical Contest, students are required to prepare an eight to ten minute essay and present it orally before a panel of judges. This competition also includes a three to five minute extemporaneous discourse in which the participant must answer questions asked by the judges without prepared notes. ILONA SYPNIEWSKI 27
