What do stacks of Time magazines, a six foot invisible rabbit, pink toe shoes, goats and The Horse With a Flat Tire all have in common ? Ironically, these strange things could only be connected to this year's speech members. In January, 11 people got an early start, four of these 11 in duet acting. One group (Juanita and Mary) practiced; the other (Tom and Mike) chose not to. Meanwhile reader's theatre worked nights (or tried to between bloated goat bleats ) to perfect their rendition of “Harvey.” (The mixed chorus may never forget the special version some reader's theatre students gave for years!) So ... how did contest go? Tom and Mike were awarded a I for their efforts which had begun only 3 half an hour earlier. The reader's theatre and Juanita and Mary got M's. (Reader's theatre members: Lon V., Cathy A., Curtis L.. Tom P.. Mike H„ Angie P„ Becky H., Mike Huegerich, and Sally A.) Small group like large group, was marked by the desire to “strive for uniqueness.” Juanita with her trusty magazine file became the most up-to-date person on current events. Mike Hen- nick developed a split personality: George S. Patton one minute and a rebellious nomad the next. Becky became obsessed with a certain” line of poetry. On the morning of districts, eleven very sleepy people made their way to Denison. After a long day of searching for rooms, heart failure, observing intimacy in the lunch room, sleeping in the van and are we leaving now? the speechsters took home ten I's and five M's. The next Saturday morning brought the famed Walnut Hill Classic, no doubt the most challenging of all speech contests. Mr. Walker was soon lost, only to be seen at brief intervals when the judges were let out for air and exercise. Three people made it to the finals: Juanita, Chris and Sally. Juanita ended up with a third place trophy for her Dramatic Acting, The Button.” Boone was the next setting for state speech contest. The day was unusually calm, excluding the conduct of a run-away contes- tant who was later apprehended at the local McDonald's. (Earlier this person had also severely offended a member of the judging staff with his rendition of Patton's address to the troops — sorry Mike!) One's were awarded to Mike, Becky. Juanita and Sally. Speech — the ultimate experience! 76e “PCcUten Speech 11
